Selective electrochemical oxidation of biomass and waste plastic at higher current densities for simultaneous hydrogen generation through hybrid water electrolysis

. Furthermore, plastic waste precursors having a C(OH)-C bond were selectively oxidized using this catalyst, which was further expanded to mixed plastic waste upgradation resulting in the generation of formate and acetate with faradaic efficiencies of 66% and 74%, respectively, and 100% yield in terephthalic acid accompanied by the co-production of hydrogen.
