ORNL scientists close the cycle on recycling mixed plastics
Little of the mixed consumer plastics thrown away or placed in recycle bins actually ends up being recycled. Nearly 90% is buried in landfills or incinerated at commercial facilities that generate greenhouse gases and airborne toxins. Neither outcome is ideal for the environment.

Selective Deconstruction of Mixed Plastics by a Tailored Organocatalyst
Scientific Achievement: A protic ionic salt based organocatalyst, triazabicyclododecane:trifluoracetic acid (TBD:TFA), was newly designed to sequentially and selectively deconstruct multiple condensation polymers that can be applied to the majority of existing mixed plastics today.Significance and Impact: The developed selective deconstruction of mixed plastics offers a critical step toward closed-loop circularity of plastics and carbon neutrality.DOI: 10.1039/d3mh00801k

ORNL researchers find ‘greener’ way to assemble materials for solar applications
The efficiency of solar cells depends on precise engineering of polymers that assemble into films 1,000 times thinner than a human hair. Today, formation of that polymer assembly requires solvents that can harm the environment, but scientists at the Department of En...
