Underneath mechanisms into the super effective degradation of PFOA by BiOF nanosheets with tunable oxygen vacancies on exposed (101) facets

Jingzhen Wang et al.

Summary: The construction of surface defects and exposed reactive facets is an effective strategy to enhance photocatalyst performance. In this study, BiOF photocatalysts with tunable oxygen vacancies on the (101) facets were prepared by adjusting the concentration of ethylene glycol. The appropriate concentration of oxygen vacancies and exposed facets promoted electron transfer and introduced an intermediate band, resulting in improved photocatalytic activity for degrading perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). DFT calculations and LC-MS-MS results were used to identify active sites and degradation pathways of PFOA, providing valuable insights for understanding the photocatalytic degradation process.
