Electrochemically-mediated selective capture of heavy metal chromium and arsenic oxyanions from water

Chromium and arsenic are prevalent water pollutants, but their removal is currently limited by low selectivity. Here, the authors use redox-active metallopolymer electrodes based on poly(vinyl)ferrocene to selectively remove the two heavy metal oxyanions at concentrations as low as 100 ppb.
