photocatalyst for the degradation of a sulfur mustard simulant, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide
(CEES). Using irradiation from a commercially available and inexpensive ultraviolet (UV)
light-emitting diode (LED), singlet oxygen (1O2) is generated by NU-1000 and selectively
oxidizes CEES to the nontoxic product 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide (CEESO). More
importantly, this method was tested on the warfare agent sulfur mustard (HD) for the first time …
