The aim is to produce new fundamental science for sustainable production of hydrogen and value-added chemicals through a solar-driven photocatalytic approach using abundant plastic wastes and high-performance photocatalysts. A range of active, selective, robust and cheap photocatalysts will be developed for conversion processes at ambient temperatures and pressures, via an interdisciplinary approach combining atomic-level material design principles, in situ/ex situ characterisations and theoretical computations. Expected outcomes will be of high impact for solar energy use, and fuels/chemicals generation. Environmental impact will derive from consuming abundant plastic wastes; helping mitigate plastic contamination of global concern.

其目的是通过使用丰富的塑料废物和高性能光催化剂的太阳能驱动光催化方法，为可持续生产氢气和增值化学品提供新的基础科学。通过结合原子级材料设计原理、原位/异位表征和理论计算的跨学科方法，将开发一系列活性、选择性、坚固且廉价的光催化剂，用于环境温度和压力下的转化过程。预期结果将对太阳能的使用和燃料/化学品的产生产生重大影响。消耗大量的塑料废物将对环境产生影响；帮助减轻全球关注的塑料污染。
