Catalyst design for plastic waste & CO₂ valorization into value-added chemicals

My research focuses on developing catalytic technologies to efficiently convert plastic waste (e.g., HDPE, LDPE, PP, and PS) and CO₂ into valuable chemicals and energy carriers. Employing an integrated approach, we combine high-throughput performance assessment under relevant industrial conditions with scalable catalyst preparation routes and detailed elucidation of their properties through advanced characterization, establishing synthesis-structure-function relations. By collaborating with multiple experts from academia and industry, our goal is to pioneer innovative solutions for advancing towards a circular economy driven by the valorization of plastic waste and CO₂.
