PET is used in many commercial products, but only a fraction is mechanically recycled, and even less is chemically recycled.
Developed a novel energy efficient, cost-effective, environmentally friendly process for separation of lithium from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries.

This work presents a novel method for upcycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste into sustainable vitrimer materials. By combining bio-based crosslinkers with our PET-based macromonomer, we developed dynamically bonded plastics that are renewably sourced.
Ruthenium is recovered from used nuclear fuel in an oxidizing environment by depositing the volatile RuO4 species onto a polymeric substrate.
A novel strategy was developed to solve the limitations of the current sorbent systems in CO2 chemisorption in terms of energy consumption in CO2 release and improved CO2 uptake capacity.
This invention describes a new class of amphiphilic chelators (extractants) that can selectively separate large, light rare earth elements from heavy, small rare earth elements in solvent extraction schemes.
This invention focuses on improving the ceramic yield of preceramic polymers by tuning the crosslinking process that occurs during vat photopolymerization (VP).
The increasing demand for high-purity lanthanides, essential for advanced technologies such as electronics, renewable energy, and medical applications, presents a significant challenge due to their similar chemical properties.
With the ever-increasing problem of plastic waste, several avenues to decrease plastic use and manage waste introduced by disposable plastic products have arisen.
