Figure Abstract

Caption

Fluoroarene (FA) derivatives are persistent pollutants in wastewater than can cause ecological risk. The cleavage of C-F bonds and mineralization of intermediates are two challenges for elimination of FAs. Here we developed a synchronous defluorination-oxidation process with a PEC device, which couples the photolysis defluorination with •OH-initiated oxidation. Efficient defluorination and TOC removal (both over 99.9%) were successfully achieved under mild conditions.
