  Turning waste plastic into clean hydrogen and valuable graphene Researchers from Rice University have unveiled a revolutionary method to harness hydrogen from plastic waste, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional hydrogen production. This innovative approach not only addresses environmental concerns but also has the potential to be economically lucrative. Hydrogen is increasingly regarded as a promising substitute for fossil fuels, but current production methods are plagued by excessive carbon dioxide emissions and high costs. However, Rice University scientists have discovered a way to extract hydrogen from various types of plastic waste, including unsorted and unwashed plastics, using a low-emission technique that could potentially cover its own expenses. Kevin Wyss, a lead author of the study and a Rice doctoral alumnus, explains, "In this work, we converted waste plastics into high-yield hydrogen gas and high-value graphene. If the produced gr...
