Photodegradation is the alteration of materials by light. Commonly, the term is used loosely to refer to the combined action of sunlight and air, which cause oxidation and hydrolysis. Often photodegradation is intentionally avoided, since it destroys paintings and other artifacts.
Photodegradation refers to the change in a material by light. The term is commonly used to refer to the combined effects of sunlight and air that cause oxidation and hydrolysis. Light degradation is often deliberately avoided because it can damage paintings and other items [23].
Photodegradation (PD) is the chemical breakdown of large molecules into smaller, non-toxic, and lower molecular weight species using the broad spectrum of solar light. It is light-induced photocatalytic reaction effectively oxidize/reduce organic pollutant through much simpler redox reactions [59].
Feb 1, 2023 · In those papers, the most important parameters that were discussed are the influence of the irradiation source, intensity and time, the presence or absence of oxygen, temperature, the effects that catalysts have, as well as the dye or pigment concentration.
Jul 30, 2021 · Photodegradation has attracted our attention as it strikes an excellent balance of energy consumption, time consumption, and cost-effectiveness, holding great promise to end plastic wastes. Most importantly, it can capitalize on abundant and renewable solar energy. Herein, we revisit the concept of catalytic photodegradation of plastic wastes.

Apr 24, 2024 · This book chapter, which focuses on the underlying mechanisms, offers a thorough description of the photodegradation of plastics and the subsequent creation of microplastics. Plastic photodegradation is recognized as a key mechanism contributing to the production of...
Jan 19, 2023 · Photodegradation is an important mechanism that affects carbon and nutrient cycling; a significant amount of data has been reported previously. The present review includes the effect of a wider spectrum of solar radiation (sun light, UV, and visible light) on plant litter decay in terrestrial ecosystems.
