Computational catalysis for plastic recycling

The conversion of plastic waste into monomers and other useful chemicals is a promising avenue towards addressing the plastic waste issue and reducing the use of non-renewable resources to generate such products. Recent experimental studies have shown that transition metal catalysts can be used to perform this conversion at moderate temperatures and with good product control. This project uses computational tools to design improved catalysts.
