  • Catalytic upcycling of polymers
    Patent number: 11780985
    Abstract: A method of upcycling polymers to useful hydrocarbon materials. A catalyst with nanoparticles on a substrate selectively docks and cleaves longer hydrocarbon chains over shorter hydrocarbon chains. The nanoparticles exhibit an edge to facet ratio to provide for more interactions with the facets.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 24, 2020
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2023
    Assignee: UChicago Argonne, LLC
    Inventors: Massimiliano Delferro, Magali S. Ferrandon, Robert M. Kennedy, Gokhan Celik, Ryan Hackler, Kenneth Poeppelmeier, Aaron D. Sadow
