DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.9b05869
Abstract: This study explores structure-reactivity relationships for the degradation of emerging perfluoroalkyl ether carboxylic acid (PFECA) pollutants with ultraviolet-generated hydrated electrons (eaq-). The rate and extent of PFECA degradation depend on both the branching extent and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jctc.4c00780
Abstract: Even though single hydrated electrons (ehyd–’s) are stable in liquid water, two hydrated electrons can bimolecularly react with water to create H2 and hydroxide: ehyd– + ehyd– + 2H2O → H2 + 2OH–. The rate… read more here.
