Photoreforming emerges as a clean, sustainable approach to utilise and reform depolymerised plastics by harnessing solar energy. The technology enables waste mitigation and simultaneous generation of valuable fuels and chemicals. Photoreforming employs semiconductor photocatalysts that generate electron-hole pairs upon solar irradiation. The photoexcited electrons in the conduction band reduce water to H2 and the holes remaining in the valence band oxidise depolymerised plastics into value-added organics. The H2 formation is a cleaner alternative to current technologies for H2 production employing fossil fuel steam reforming, which releases >800 MtCO2 per year. Nonetheless, a major drawback to current plastics photoreforming technologies is the harsh pre-treatment conditions (corrosive alkaline media: pH>13; ~40-80ºC) required for the depolymerisation of plastics. Other limitations involve low conversion rates and the release of CO2 from over-oxidation during photoreforming. These factors prevent the scaling and commercial considerations of photoreforming despite its potential.
