Efficient reduction-defluorination of perfluorooctanoic acid enabled by atomically dispersed Cu-NSC electrocatalyst in actual industrial wastewater: A direct electron transfer pathway.
Cleavage of the C-F bond is a critical challenge in effectively controlling pollution from Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). Herein, the Cu-NSC electrocatalyst was constructed for the efficient electrocatalytic reduction of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). Multi-modal characterization has revealed a multifuncti...
