Achieving ultra-trace analysis and multi-light driven photodegradation toward phenolic derivatives via a bifunctional catalyst derived from a Cu(i)-complex-modified polyoxometalate

A polyoxometalate-based bifunctional catalyst was applied for the “nM” detection of phenolic derivatives, and exhibited good removal efficiencies under UV light, visible light, NIR light, full spectrum light, and sunlight irradiation to phenol.
