| In the study, water-derived hydroxyl-radical formation was identified as the rate-determining step in polyethylene oxidation, with a kH/kD isotope effect of 7. | CAUSAL | Supported | 0.9601 | 1 of 4 | 135 |
| The study achieved complete polyethylene conversion with nearly 69% selectivity to short-chain diacids and demonstrated scaling up to 300 g for mixed commercial plastics. | QUANTITATIVE | Supported | 0.9781 | 1 of 4 | 149 |
| The study reported a catalyst-free microdroplet-interface strategy using in situ hydroxyl radicals to oxidatively cleave diverse waste plastics into carboxylic acids under mild conditions. | OBSERVATIONAL | Supported | 0.9734 | 1 of 4 | 128 |
