The LDH material Rice developed is a variation of similar materials previously used, but researchers replaced some aluminum atoms with copper atoms. The LDH material is positively charged and the long-chain Pfas are negatively charged, which causes the material to attract and absorb the chemicals, Wong said.
“There you go – it just soaks it in to the order of 100 times faster than other materials that are out there,” Wong added

Incredibly cool. Hope this works at scale. This could be a major breakthrough.
