Efficient degradation of tetrabromobisphenol A via electrochemical sequential reduction-oxidation: Degradation efficiency, intermediates, and pathway

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), a toxic persistent pollutant, should be effectively removed from the environment. In this study, an electrochemical sequential reduction-oxidation system was proposed by controlling reaction atmosphere with Pd-Fe nanoparticles modified Ni foam (Pd-Fe/Ni) electrode as cathode for TBBPA degradation. To obtain an efficient Pd-Fe/Ni electrode for TBBPA degradation, various factors, like Pd loading, Fe2+ adding amounts,...
