As our world inches into the future, the ‘circular economy’ comes increasingly more into focus.

 

In order to obtain a circular economy in an industrial process, the process has to be sustainable and waste produced by the process has to be recyclable.

 

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has been one of the most significant sources of plastic waste, as it is found in most of our single-use plastic bottles, cups, etc.

 

The use of MOFs as electrode materials is due to their properties like porosity helps in accommodating electrolytes, and metal cations act as redox-active centers.
