The study explores the underlying mechanisms that allow this dual-function catalyst to work both in light and in darkness – without external energy input. The material combines copper, manganese, and titanium oxides to initiate two distinct degradation pathways. It decomposes diclofenac within minutes, offering a promising strategy for sustainable water treatment. The results were published in Catalysis Science & Technology.
