Carbon-Based Nanocomposites for Degradation of Microplastic: Current Advances and Future Perspectives
Summary
Researchers reviewed advances in carbon-based nanocomposites — including graphene and carbon nanotubes — as catalysts for degrading microplastics in aquatic environments, finding that their exceptional surface area and tunable chemistry enable efficient adsorption and oxidative breakdown of plastic polymers, though real-world deployment remains in early stages.
The widespread issue of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments has garnered international attention because of its detrimental effects on the environment and human health. Utilizing the remarkable qualities of carbon-based materials such as graphene, carbon...
