Furan-based fluorescent probe free radical capture membrane: Analysis of RO radical composition and transformation mechanism in urban atmosphere.

Peroxyl radicals (RO) are important components of atmospheric radical cycling and generation, but their formation, distribution and evolution mechanisms in the atmospheric environment have not been investigated. In this paper, we propose a novel atmospheric RO radical trapping membrane that can trap low carbon number (Rc ≤ 5) RO radicals and identify their R-group structures by fluorescence spectroscopy and chromatography. We also analyzed the composition and evolution mechanism of RO species under different meteorological conditions in the atmospheric environment of Lanzhou, China, to provide scientific support for the treatment and research of atmospheric chemical pollution.
