Catalyst-free, microdroplet-mediated waste plastic conversion to diacids

Nature, Published online: 15 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10746-7

A catalyst-free upcycling strategy based on in situ generation of hydroxyl radicals at microdroplet interfaces is described for efficient and scalable processing of polymers with minimal infrastructure, using only water and oxygen under mild conditions.
