Here we could show, that an easy to fabricate, single compound micromotor can form rafts that enable microplastics collection and beyond that the same material accelerates the degradation of the polymer material to a viable extend. Despite the fact, that an expected time discrepancy between swimming (in the order of seconds), dye degradation and the PS degradation (∼ 250 ks) is unavoidable using a single catalyst material, we can envision a future micromotor that collects the microplastics into a small chamber with intense irradiation in order to upconcentrate and subsequently degrade them. We believe that maintaining the one-pot synthesis strategy, will produce even more active photocatalysts (e.g. by doping), which will improve both, the swimming activity (and thereby enhancing the collection activity) as well as the speed of polymer degradation. While we are clearly not presenting a viable solution to the global microplastics problem, we could show that TiO 2 Pac-Men as scaleable, noble metal free type of active has the potential to combine microplastics collection and degradation.
