General description

Indium(III)oxide is a versatile compound with significant applications in electronics,optics, and materials science. It is widely employed in the synthesis of transparentconducting oxides (TCOs), particularly for flat-panel displays, and solarcells, due to its electrical conductivity and optical transparency. Insemiconductor technology, it is used for making indium tin oxide (ITO),enhancing the performance of electronic devices, and is sensitive to variousgases, making it suitable for gas sensing applications, particularly indetecting hazardous gases.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (C(7)F(15)COOH, PFOA) has increasingly attracted worldwide concerns due to its global occurrence and resistance to most conventional treatment processes. Though TiO(2)-based photocatalysis is strong enough to decompose most organics, it is not effective for PFOA decomposition. We first
