Ternary heterojunction catalyst with enhanced hydrated electrons generation for efficient defluorination of perfluorooctanoic acid.
Hydrated electrons (eaq-) have emerged as effective reducing agents for cleaving persistent carbon‑fluorine (CF) bonds in perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), while the practical application of conventional homogeneous reaction systems in defluorination is constrained by the low generation efficiency of eaq-. Herein, we repo...
