Ultra-efficient perfluorooctanoic acid capture enabled by a novel MOF-derived Cu/Zn bimetallic spherical porous carbon

Key Points

• The research aims to develop an efficient method for removing perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) using a novel bimetallic material.
• Synthesis of a bimetallic porous carbon from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
• Evaluation of adsorption efficiency for PFOA
• Comparison with conventional monometallic MOFs and powdered activated carbons
• The novel porous carbon exhibits significantly improved PFOA capture performance.
• Enhanced stability and higher active site availability compared to traditional methods.
