【 摘 要 】

The unique chemical and physical properties of nanoscale materials have led to important roles in several scientific and technological fields. Environmental chemistry processes have benefited from the enhanced reactivity of nanoscale particles relative to their bulk counterparts with contaminants. Here, we describe recent advances in the synthesis and characterization of metallic and bimetallic nanoparticles that have been effective toward degrading toxic organohalide contaminants. We then review the degradation mechanisms involved in the reactions of nanoscale particles with organohalides via reduction pathways. We also discuss an emerging area – the degradation of organohalides via multi-electron transfer pathways.
