By adhering the nanoparticles to hydrophilic carbon paper and utilising lithium hydroxide, the team achieved complete defluorination of PFOS chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, the process utilises nonprecious metals, making it significantly more economical compared to existing methods, potentially reducing the cost by nearly 100 times.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, treating a cubic metre of polluted water with existing methods that use boron-doped diamonds would cost $8.5m.<\/p>\n<h3>Future prospects and sustainability<\/h3>\n<p>Looking ahead, Mu\u0308ller aims to further optimise the process by exploring alternative materials to enhance cost efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>She also plans to extend the application of the method to other prevalent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/women-with-cancer-have-higher-levels-of-chemical-exposure-study-finds\/37359\/\">PFAS chemicals associated with various health issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite acknowledging the utility of PFAS in consumer products and green technologies, Mu\u0308ller advocates for their sustainable usage through electrocatalytic solutions.<\/p>\n<p>She explained: &#8220;I would argue that in the end, a lot of decarbonisation efforts \u2014 from geothermal heat pumps to efficient refrigeration to solar cells \u2014 depend on the availability of PFAS.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe it&#8217;s possible to use PFAS in a circular, sustainable way if we can leverage electrocatalytic solutions to break fluorocarbon bonds and get the fluoride back out safely without putting it into the environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mu\u0308ller also emphasised the social justice aspect of the research, highlighting its potential to address pollution disparities, particularly in economically disadvantaged areas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Often in areas with lower income across the globe, there&#8217;s more pollution,&#8221; said Mu\u0308ller. &#8220;An advantage of an electrocatalytic approach is that you can use it in a distributed fashion with a small footprint using electricity from solar panels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The University of Rochester&#8217;s research offers a promising avenue for tackling the pervasive issue of PFAS chemical pollution.<\/p>\n<p>With its cost-effective and sustainable approach and its potential for widespread application, this breakthrough could prove instrumental in the fight against harmful PFAS chemicals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how University of Rochester
