Summary

Researchers developed a silver-doped titanium dioxide photocatalyst that can break down polyamide 66 microplastics under UV light, revealing the degradation pathway and suggesting that photocatalysis could be a viable approach for treating certain plastic pollutants in water.

In this study, an efficient photocatalyst Ag/TiO2 was prepared by the photo-assisted deposition method, and the photocatalytic degradation of polyamide66 (PA66) was conducted under UVA irradiation. The degradation effectiveness and mechanism of PA66 were investigated...
