The synergistic remediation of heavy metal-organic compound pollution has emerged as a major challenge in environmental restoration. Traditional techniques often suffer from low efficiency and secondary pollution risks due to complex interactions between pollutants. This review systematically summarized recent advances in leveraging the Kirkendall effect for the design of environmental functional materials. It specifically elucidated the physical mechanism by which this effect induces the formation of hollow/porous structures through the regulation of non-equilibrium diffusion kinetics in heterogeneous components, highlighting its unique advantages for synergistic pollutant removal. Researches demonstrated that Kirkendall effect derived functional materials possessed high specific surface areas, tunable pore size distributions, and abundant active sites. These properties enabled the simultaneous efficient adsorption-catalytic reduction of heavy metal ions and the deep degradation of organic pollutants. Further optimization of the material's electronic structure and mass transfer behavior, achievable through surface functionalization (e.g., phosphorylation, amination) and heterojunction interface engineering, significantly enhanced pollutant removal efficiency and structural stability within complex environmental matrices. However, the practical application of this technology still faced critical challenges, including complex synthesis procedures, insufficient long-term stability, and an incomplete understanding of synergistic removal mechanisms. Future efforts should focus on developing green, scalable synthesis strategies, providing an in-depth elucidation of interfacial reaction mechanisms under multifactor coupling, and advancing engineering scale validation. These endeavors are crucial for providing the theoretical foundation and technical support necessary for the innovative development of next generation environmental remediation technologies.
