Photocatalytic debromination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) on metal doped TiO2 nanocomposites: Mechanisms and pathways

Nanoparticles of four noble metal doped titanium dioxide (i.e., Pd/TiO2, Ag/TiO2, Pt/TiO2 and Cu/TiO2) were synthesized and investigated for their effectiveness to degrade polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) under UV light. All the investigated noble metal additives can greatly enhance the perfor...
