The ubiquitous presence and long-range mobility of PFCs is attributed to the high chemical stability of their C-F bonds (bond dissociation energy, D °298 K = 485 kJ/mol), rendering them suitable as ingredients to make fluoropolymers, 11 fire-fighting foams, and stain-repellent products. Typical contamination hot spots then include the vicinity of industrial areas, military training sites, airports and wastewater treatment plants. Moreover, exposures to PFCs adversely affect body immunity, 13 neurological functions, reproductive systems as well as giving strong correlations to coronary heart disease and cancer among many others. As a result, there is an urgent need to investigate efficient materials for PFCs remediation from contaminated water.
