State of the art in the photochemical degradation of (micro)plastics: from fundamental principles to catalysts and applications

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Plastics and microplastics are major environmental pollutants due to wide applications and difficult degradations. Herein, we summarize several studies on degradations of (micro)plastics to value-added products and intermediates via photocatalysis.
