What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Strong peer-reviewed capture kinetics and adsorption capacity (Advanced Materials, online Sept 2025) but the destroy half of the capture-and-destroy loop is only ~54% effective and unproven beyond bench scale.
Next
Watch for a pilot-scale flow study and a >90% destruction figure with full defluorination accounting; check whether Rice/KAIST/Oxford license to a treatment vendor.
