2021 marks 10 years since controlled abiotic synthesis of sulfidated nanoscale zerovalent iron (S-nZVI) for use in site remediation and water treatment emerged as an area active research. It was then expanded to microscale ZVI (S-mZVI) together with S-nZVI, they are collectively referred S-(n)ZVI. Heightened interest S-(n)ZVI stemmed from its significantly higher reactivity chlorinated solvents heavy metals. The extremely promising research outcomes during the initial period (2011-2017) led renewed (n)ZVI-based technologies treatment, explosion new last four (2018-2021) that is building understanding novel complex role sulfides enhancing (n)ZVI. Numerous studies have focused on exploring different approaches, colloidal, surface, (electrochemistry, contaminant selectivity, corrosion) properties. This review provides a critical overview recent milestones technology development: (i) clear insights into transformation long-term aging, (ii) impact sulfidation methods particle characteristics reactivity, (iii) broader range treatable contaminants, (iv) complete decontamination, (v) ecotoxicity, (vi) field implementation. In addition, this discusses major knowledge gaps future avenues opportunities.

ConspectusGroundwater contamination by halogenated organic compounds, especially chlorinated and fluorinated ones, threatens freshwater sources globally. Nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) has been extensively studied (>5000 publications) deployed for in situ groundwater remediation, but NZVI selectivity contaminants is poor, reactive lifetimes are short, it cannot promote defluorination reactions. Recently, sulfidized (SNZVI) emerged, revitalized academic industrial interests this material remediation. Sulfidation broadens the range of contaminants, significantly increases lifetime 2 orders magnitude, while inhibiting undesirable H2 evolution reaction between Fe0 water. This Account provides a state-of-the-art understanding chemical properties controlling reactivity SNZVI will advance field toward rational design efficient remediation materials.SNZVI complex mixture body-centered cubic (BCC) metallic unspecified sulfides. Most published research aimed at exploring breadth its various environmental rather than factors that influence materials. Recent works from our laboratory have tuning synthesis conditions to control amount speciation sulfur structure, elucidating how these structural changes result physicochemical (e.g., hydrophobicity, electron-transfer resistance, H adsorption sites) provide desirable important contaminants.This explains reasons more compared NZVI. The degradation pathways, sites (Fe or S species (direct electron transfer atomic H) dechlorination trichloroethene florfenicol determined batch experiments, theoretical calculations, analysis products. A better why with C–F bonds under ambient may also use derivatives emerging contaminants.Finally, guidance measuring reporting SNZVI. enable comparisons future studies elucidate differences synthesized different groups. Overall, unveils structure–property–performance relationships SNZVI, makes strides controlled robust tailored specific application scenarios, mechanistic insights into materials contaminants.
