Caption

Principal component analysis [left image] and cluster analysis [middle] performed on the ZnO nanomaterials adsorbed into the microplastics surfaces after incubation in seawater. The averaged XANES spectra from the violet cluster (1) and from the red cluster (2) were subsequently analysed by linear combination fitting (red-dashed line) against the well-known standards to interrogate the Zn speciation, revealing a mixture of Zn-sulfide and Zn-phosphate species.
