"syngas and plastic bottles were converted into glycolic acid, which is widely used in the cosmetics industry... Unlike earlier tests of their solar fuels technology however, the team took CO2 from real-world sources—such as industrial exhaust or the air itself. The researchers were able to capture and concentrate the CO2 and convert it into sustainable fuel... bubbling air. alkaline solution, CO2 selectively, photocathode and anode... syngas, useful chemicals... plastic breaks down to glycolic acid cosmetics"
