A review of emerging photoinduced degradation methods for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in water
Abstract
The remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water continues to garner significant attention due to their environmental persistence and adverse health effects. Among the various PFAS remediation methods, photoinduced approaches have recently emerged as promising techniques for the degradation of these persistent contaminants. However, many questions remain unanswered regarding the detailed mechanisms in these photoinduced methods as well as the best ways to leverage these approaches for PFAS degradation. In this review, we provide an update on recent experimental and theoretical developments in photoinduced PFAS degradation techniques over the past 2–5 years. We conclude with a perspective of promising research directions in this vibrant area and give recommendations on future experimental and computational approaches needed to further advance these photoinduced remediation capabilities.
