This study highlighted the diverse adsorption mechanisms of PCP on HSs with different degrees of humification, and emphasized the coexisting Cr(VI) only have significant effect on PCP adsorption by HSs with higher humification degrees instead of the lower ones.Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a carcinogen with a high binding energy between fluorine and carbon and is symmetrically linked, making it difficult to treat. In this study, a self-doped TiO2 nanotube array (TNTA) was used as the anode and platinum as the cathode to quantify the PFOA removal mechanism using a photoelectrochemical (PEC) system. The external voltage was negative compared to that of the anode. In addition, NO3- and t-BuOH were used as scavengers to quantify the PFOA oxidation/reduction mechanism in the PEC system. As a result of the study, TNTA crystals are TiO2 anatase, and the band gap energy was 3.42. The synergy index of PEC was 1.25, and the best electrolyte was SO42-. The PFOA decomposition activation energy corresponds to 70.84 kJ mol-1. Moreover, ΔH# and ΔS# correspond to 68.34 kJ mol-1 and 0.190 kJ mol-1 K-1, respectively. When the external negative voltage was 1 V, the contributions of the oxidation/reduction reaction during PFOA decomposition were 60% and 40%, and when the external negative voltage was 5 V, the contributions of the redox reaction were 45% and 55%. As the external negative voltage increased, the contribution of the reduction reaction increased as the number of electrons applied to the anode increased. When PFOA was decomposed, the by-products were C7F13O2H, C6F11O2H, C5F9O2H, and C4F7O2H, respectively. This study is expected to be used as basic data for research on the effects of other factors on the oxidation/reduction as well as the
