Summary

This is a preprint data entry for the same UV photocatalysis microplastic-to-hydrogen research as ID 1873, providing the underlying experimental report on TiO2-assisted breakdown of polystyrene and polyethylene microplastics under UVC light. Duplicate/companion entry; the research explores whether plastic pollution can be converted into hydrogen fuel as a remediation-plus-energy strategy.

Description: This record contains a preprint in DOCX format reporting research on UV-induced photolysis and photocatalysis using TiO2 as approaches to hydrogen production from polystyrene, LDPE, and HDPE microplastics under UVC irradiation. Funding: This work was financially supported of the European Union under the REFRESH – Research Excellence For REgion Sustainability and High-tech Industries (Project No. CZ.10.03.01/ 00/22_003/0000048) via the Operational Programme Just Transition, the OP JAK project "INOVO!!!", No. CZ.02.01.01/00/23_021/0008588 supported by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and co-financed by the European Union and the authors also thank the Large Research Infrastructure ENREGAT (Project No. LM2023056)
