Polyolefins such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are abundant components of plastic waste. Chemical recycling of PE and PP via pyrolysis followed by chemical vapor deposition typically results in the growth of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Here, a tandem catalytic system for the...
