Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows a landscape reflecting the pressing problem of plastic waste generation where a resolute humanoid emerges, symbolizing the potential of chemical recycling. The golden color embodies the high value of products that this strategy can yield, such as the liquid hydrocarbons obtained from the hydrogenolysis of polypropylene as described in the manuscript. Carbon‐supported Pt catalysts enable this outcome, for which activity and selectivity are tunable via Pt particle size and surface oxygen content of carbon, respectively.
