Gold Touch enhances photocatalysis efficiency in micropollutant degradation, improving wastewater treatment.

Gold Touch enhances photocatalysis efficiency in micropollutant degradation. A Cornell team discovered gold particles boost adsorption on titanium dioxide semiconductors, enhancing the degradation of micropollutants such as pesticides. This breakthrough in photocatalysis, published in Nature Catalysis, may lead to increased efficiency in removing micropollutants from wastewater.
