Designed S‐Scheme FeCo 2 O 4 /g‐C 3 N 4 Heterojunction for Photocatalytic Activation of Peroxymonosulfate to Degrade polyethylene Terephthalate Plastic

AI summary Read the abstract

An S-scheme FeCo₂O₄/g-C₃N₄ heterojunction photocatalyst achieved 84.49% degradation of PET microplastics within 6 hours under visible light by synergistically activating peroxymonosulfate to generate sulfate radicals as the primary reactive species. This photocatalytic approach offers a promising strategy for remediating PET plastic pollution in aquatic environments without requiring UV light or harsh chemical conditions.

Photocatalytic degradation of polyethylene terephthalate nano and microplastics over ilmenite-graphene oxide nanohybrid

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers combined natural ilmenite mineral with graphene oxide to create a photocatalyst that degraded 100% of PET plastic particles in water under UV light, outperforming previous methods. This eco-friendly approach offers a promising tool for removing nanoplastics and microplastics from drinking water without generating harmful byproducts.
