Rice University researchers have developed a method to extract hydrogen from plastic waste while producing valuable graphene as a by-product.
Rice University researchers have found a way to harvest hydrogen from plastic waste using a low-emissions method that generates graphene as a by-product, which could help offset production costs. Hydrogen is viewed as a promising alternative to fossil fuel, but the methods used to make it either generate too much carbon dioxide or are too expensive.
The process vaporizes the hydrogen present in plastics, leaving behind graphene – an extremely light, durable material made up of a single layer of carbon atoms. Wyss noted, “When we first discovered flash Joule heating and applied it to upcycle waste plastic into graphene, we observed a lot of volatile gases being produced and shooting out of the reactor.
