Abstract

Polyethylene (PE) waste was recycled into nanoporous carbon materials via NaNH₂-catalyzed tandem cross-linking and carbonization. The process enables C–H cleavage and C–N formation, yielding carbons with surface areas up to 2080 m² g⁻¹. The resulting materials exhibit excellent performance in gas separation and energy storage applications.
