Self-built field induces surface electrons to reduce H+ to atomic H* for photocatalytic hydrodechlorination of 2-chlorophenols

2-chlorophenols (2-CPs) as a biodegradation-resistant pollutant has serious threats to environment and human health. Photocatalytic hydrodechlorination (PHDC) for removal of halogenated organics in water has attracted more attention, however, low utilization-efficiency of atomic H* limits its applic...
