Sunlight-Powered Waste-to-Value Conversion
The world confronts critical challenges from energy crisis and global warming, primarily stemming from fossil fuel dependence and CO2 emissions. Urgent action is needed to mitigate these emissions and transition to a circular economy. This article investigates carbon capture and utilization (CCU) for recycling CO2 into valuable molecules using renewable energy. It also addresses plastic pollution, proposing solar-driven photoelectrochemical systems to convert CO2 and waste plastic into renewable
