Gold co-catalyst improves photocatalytic degradation of micropollutants, finds study

To remove micropollutants such as pesticides and trace chemicals from the environment, you need something equally small and cunning. One potential method is photocatalysis, which uses semiconducting nanomaterials powered by sunlight to adsorb toxic chemicals on the materials’ surface and degrade them. To remove micropollutants such as pesticides and trace chemicals from the environment, you need something equally small and cunning.
