Abstract

). Mechanistic investigations revealed progressive dechlorination and oxidation into short-chain carboxylic acids prior to complete mineralization. This work demonstrates how coordination chemistry can be strategically integrated into electrochemical advanced oxidation processes to improve efficiency, stability, and sustainability in wastewater treatment applications.
