Summary

This review assessed photocatalytic and Fenton-based degradation approaches for breaking down microplastics, focusing on iron-based catalysts activated by light or hydrogen peroxide. The study found these advanced oxidation processes can fragment microplastics but complete mineralization remains challenging.

Degradation of microplastics (MPs) through the photocatalytic and photo-Fenton process using Fe-modified TiO 2 aerogel powders.
