“…For example, halide ions, especially Br – , are among the most important • OH scavengers. Cl – could react with • OH and O 2 to form chlorine radical ( • Cl) and chlorine monoxide radical ( • ClO), which are less reactive than • OH and could compromise the catalytic performance of MOFs. ,, When both Cl – and Br – are present, formation of bromine monochloride radical ( • BrCl – ) and dibromine radical ( • Br 2 – ) could occur, which are more selective than • OH. , When both Cl – and Br – are present, formation of bromine monochloride radical ( • BrCl – ) and dibromine radical ( • Br 2 – ) could hinder the degradation process, due to the more selective nature of • BrCl – and • Br 2 – compared to • OH. , Surprisingly, in the UiO-66/AgI composite, the addition of Cl – and SO 4 2– showed little effects on the degradation of sulfamethoxazole . It was suggested that • Cl and dichlorine radical ( • Cl 2 – ) produced by Cl – could also induce the degradation of sulfamethoxazole and that • O 2 – was the main contributing radical instead of • OH.…”
