Polymeric stabilization at the gas–liquid interface for durable solar hydrogen production from plastic waste

Polymeric stabilization of photocatalysts at the gas–liquid interface enhances both the catalytic activity and stability for solar hydrogen production from plastic waste. The photocatalyst retains its performance over 2 months under harsh conditions, and scaling to 1 m2 yields a hydrogen production rate of 0.906 l per day from polyethylene terephthalate waste under natural sunlight.
