The photodegradation processes and mechanisms of polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene terephthalate microplastic in aquatic environments: Important role of clay minerals

•Photodegradation behaviors of MPs in the presence of clays were firstly explored.•Clay minerals, particularly kaolinite, significantly enhanced the MP photoaging.•The aging of PET was more prominent than PVC.•Clay facilitated the production of •OH, greatly contributing to MP degradation.•Photodegra...
