Hybrid graphenic and iron oxide photocatalysts for the decomposition of synthetic chemicals

R. Moreira, E. B. Esfahani, et al.

Discover a groundbreaking and economical method developed by Raphaell Moreira and colleagues for synthesizing an iron oxide/graphenic carbon hybrid photocatalyst. This innovative solution effectively degrades harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, achieving an impressive 85% removal of perfluorooctanoic acid in just 3 hours under UV light.

Abstract
This paper reports a simple, cost-effective method to synthesize an iron oxide/graphenic carbon (Fe/g-C) hybrid photocatalyst for the degradation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The photocatalyst efficiently degrades perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), achieving over 85% removal within 3 hours under ultraviolet light and maintaining high degradation rates over extended periods.
