Redox-active rGO-nZVI nanohybrid-catalyzed chain shortening of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS)

Journal of Hazardous Materials Letters, 2021
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are exceptionally stable chemicals due to their strong CF bonds. Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles have the potential to remove and degrade PFASs through redox activity.
