Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent, bioaccumulative pollutants found in water resources at concentrations harmful to human health. Whereas current PFAS destruction strategies use nonselective mechanisms, we that perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) could be mineralized through a sodium hydroxide-mediated defluorination pathway. PFCA decarboxylation polar aprotic solvents produced reactive ion intermediates degraded fluoride ions (78 ~100%) within 24 hours. The...
The solar-powered electrochemical energy storage strategy integrates the solar conversion, and distribution functions into a single device.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) occur in groundwater as mixtures of anionic, cationic, zwitterionic, nonionic species, although few remediation technologies have been evaluated to assess the removal different types PFASs. In this study, we performance three β-cyclodextrin polymers (CDPs), an anion-exchange (AE) resin, a cation-exchange (CE) resin for PFASs from water. We found that CDP with negative surface charge rapidly removes all zwitterionic log KD values ranging between 2.4...
ConspectusOrganic micropollutants (MPs) are increasing in number and concentration water systems as a result of human activities. Often from origin, these build up the environment because organisms lack mechanisms to metabolize substances, which cause negative health, ecological, economic effects. Adsorption-based remediation processes for compounds often rely on activated carbon materials. However, carbons ineffective against certain MPs, exhibit low removal efficiencies presence common...
Cross-linked polymers containing β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) are promising adsorbents with demonstrated removal performances for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) from contaminated water sources. Despite the performance of some β-CD-based PFAS removal, many these materials not amenable rational improvement or addressing fundamental questions about adsorption mechanisms. These ambiguities arise poorly defined structure cross-linked polymers, especially respect to random substitution...
Silver metal exposed to the atmosphere corrodes and becomes tarnished as a result of oxidation precipitation an insoluble salt. Tarnish has so poor reputation that word itself connotes corruption disrespectability; however, tarnishing is facile synthetic approach for preparing thin metal-sulfide films on silver or copper might be exploited prepare more elaborate materials with desirable optoelectronic properties. In this work, we luminescent semiconducting mithrene, metal–organic...
Sometimes the most annoying thing about being a grad student is that "student" misnomer. Grad school so different from typical experience family and friends can't wrap their heads around what we do. There are five basic misconceptions come up in almost every conversation I have my life: 1. So you're getting your master's? Saying "I'm school" sounds less pretentious than Ph.D.," but it kind of hurts time to explain straight-to-Ph.D. programs terminal master's. 2. You're done with classes?...
