Figure 3. (A) Average instantaneous EE2 degradation efficiency of CuFeO₂–MX membranes with different CuFeO₂ loadings within 30 min; (B) EE2 degradation performance of a blank PVDF membrane, MXene, CuFeO₂ and CuFeO₂–MX; (C) EE2 degradation performance of CuFeO₂–MX under different electrolyte conditions and in real water matrices; (D) EE2 mineralization efficiency of CuFeO₂–MX during the degradation process; (E) EE2 degradation efficiency of CuFeO₂–MX over 400 min; (F) XRD patterns of CuFeO₂–MX before and after continuous treatment for 400 min. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). EE2: 17α-Ethynylestradiol; CuFeO₂–MX: CuFeO₂–MXene; PVDF: polyvinylidene fluoride; XRD: X-ray diffraction; SD: standard deviation.
