Magnetically boosted 1D photoactive micro-swarm for COVID-19 face mask disruption

J. Kim, C. C. Mayorga-martinez, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Jeonghyo Kim, Carmen C. Mayorga-Martinez, and Martin Pumera presents a novel 1D magnetic photoactive microswarm that efficiently degrades polypropylene microfibers from discarded COVID-19 masks. By combining magnetic maneuvering and visible-light photocatalysis, this innovative solution addresses plastic waste pollution effectively.
