Photoelectrochemical Valorization of Plastic Waste Using Catalytic Silicon Photoanodes.
Article in ChemSusChem, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Solar plastic upcycling is demonstrated through the photoelectrochemical oxidation of ethylene glycol derived from real world, pretreated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle waste on an n-Si/Ni photoanode, producing formic acid and glycolic acid with high Faradaic efficiency. The catalytic silicon photoanode promotes efficient interfacial charge transfer under simulated solar illumination in alkaline media, enabling selective oxidation of PET-derived ethylene glycol. Mechanistic insights obtained from electrochemical and spectroscopic analyses indicate that nickel oxyhydroxide species facilitate C─C bond cleavage through surface-bound intermediates. These findings highlight the potential of silicon-based photoanodes as promising platforms for solar-driven plastic waste valorization and sustainable carbon recycling.
