Microplastic degradation by hydroxy-rich bismuth oxychloride
Abstract
Microplastics, as a class of widely dispersed persistent pollutants, the main reactive oxygen species is far from clarified in their photocatalytic degradation. In this study, a novel hydroxy-rich ultrathin BiOCl (BiOCl-X) was prepared at room temperature. BiOCl-X shows a strong potential for photocatalytic degradation of microplastics, and the mass loss of plastics is 24 times higher than that of the BiOCl nanosheets. More importantly, we explored the photocatalytic mechanism through electron paramagnetic resonance and capture experiments, and found that the surface hydroxyl of BiOCl can effectively enhance the production of hydroxyl radicals, resulting in boosting degradation performance. Here, we provide new insights that photocatalytic degradation of microplastic is dependent on surface hydroxyl groups. This work could be useful for controllable designs of hydroxy-rich photocatalysts for applications in microplastic degradation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
