Abstract
for 10 h under simulated AM1.5G irradiation at room temperature. This work introduces a strategy for the visible-light promoted processing of two distinct waste streams into a single product, thereby enhancing product formation rates, reducing limitations arising from product separation and advancing efforts toward a sustainable circular industry.
