New insights on degradation of methylene blue using thermocatalytic reactions catalyzed by low-temperature excitation

- Thermocatalytic reaction using room-temperature excitation was demonstrated.
- Results imply that thermal catalyst adopted can be feasible.
- An excellent contact between contaminant molecule and catalyst was notably required.
- The optimal removal of 82.07% was reached in total removal efficiency.
- The mechanism of thermocatalytic process was proposed.
