Plastic turned into clean hydrogen fuel using solar reactor and waste battery acid
SMRTR summary
Cambridge researchers created a solar-powered reactor that converts hard-to-recycle plastics into hydrogen fuel and industrial chemicals using acid recovered from discarded car batteries. The system breaks down polymer chains with battery acid, then uses sunlight and a photocatalyst to produce hydrogen and acetic acid, offering a sustainable solution that transforms multiple waste streams into valuable products.
