A method of utilizing a catalyst for the sterilization, disinfection and purification of indoor air. The catalyst carrier is made of inorganic porous material such as Silica, Zeolite, Diatomite, Sepiolite, Montmoroillonite, and Aluminum oxide. The catalyst carrier can also be made of Cordierite, or Mullite ceramic honeycomb. After dipping into stabilized sodium hypochlorite solution or stabilized chlorine dioxide solution, the catalyst is produced after dehydration. The catalyst is irradiated with ultraviolet lamp to generate gas-phase free radicals including reactive particles such as .OH, .ClO2, .HO2, .O, thereby sterilizing microbial air pollutants such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms, and remove chemical air pollutants such as formaldehyde.

The present disclosure relates to a degradation method of a perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS). The degradation method includes the following steps: polymerizing indole to synthesize pind; and mixing synthesized pind with the PFAS to form a mixed solution, and illuminating the formed mixed solution to allow pind to generate hydrated electrons (e.sub.aq.sup.?) for degrading the PFAS. In the degradation method of the present disclosure, indole with a high yield of hydrated electrons is polymerized to generate pind, and pind is used as a precursor for the generation of the hydrated electrons to increase the stability of a molecular structure of pind through a highly conjugated structure formed after polymerization, thereby achieving the purpose of continuously generating the hydrated electrons under ultraviolet irradiation and effectively degrading PFASs, which is of great significance for addressing the environmental pollution problem of PFASs.
