Abstract
-0.4 exhibits high recyclability and stability, and there is no significant loss of activity after five cycles of repeated use. With the aid of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and density functional theory calculations, a reasonable degradation pathway for TC was proposed. The present work provides a recyclable and efficient approach for the photodegradation of TC, expecting to guide the innovative exploitation of other environmental systems.
