Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent pollutants that are difficult to remove, making their degradation a priority.
Researchers synthesized hexagonal ZnInS (ZIS) nanosheets using a one-pot method and tested their effectiveness against a specific PFAS compound called sodium p-perfluorous nonenoxybenzenesulfonate (OBS).
The ZIS nanosheets outperformed traditional photocatalysts in degrading OBS under light, with their effectiveness being influenced by pH levels and the involvement of photogenerated charge carriers.

- Qiupei Lei's recent research primarily focuses on the photodegradation of persistent organic pollutants, specifically perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), which pose significant environmental risks.
- The study introduces hexagonal ZnInS (ZIS) nanosheets synthesized through a one-pot oil bath method, demonstrating their effectiveness as photocatalysts under visible light for degrading PFASs.
- Findings indicate that the photocatalytic properties of the ZIS nanosheets leverage the redox capabilities of photoinduced charge carriers, showcasing a promising approach for the removal of challenging organic contaminants.
