Single pot catalyst strategy to branched products via adhesive isomerization and hydrocracking of polyethylene over platinum tungstated zirconia

[Display omitted] •Pt-WZr is a prototypical catalyst to probe LDPE hydrocracking at low temperatures.•The metal-acid balance (MAB) is a crucial descriptor in polyolefin hydrocracking.•The MAB tunes the product distribution and the branching degree in solid residues.•Cracking and isomerization pathwa...
