The breakthrough offers a promising new approach to reducing plastic pollution through photocatalysis, a metabolic pathway ...

Sunlight hits tiny particles of plastic floating in a clear water solution. Slowly, they begin to disappear, leaving behind a ...

Hydrogen peroxide is used in many industries for a variety of purposes, including bleaching, sewage treatment, sterilization, and even as rocket fuel. Because hydrogen peroxide's byproduct is water, ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have discovered a way to turn plastic waste into acetic acid, the main ingredient ...

Certain metal oxides are considered good candidates for photocatalysts to produce green hydrogen with sunlight. A Chinese team has now published exciting results on copper(I) oxide particles in Nature ...
