Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on persulfates such as peroxymonosulfate and peroxydisulfate via heterogeneous catalysts have been a research hotspot due to their outstanding performances in removing emerging organic contaminants (OCs). In this Review, we highlight the recent advances theoretical simulations for persulfate-based AOPs (PS-AOPs) using density functional theory (DFT), with emphasis catalyst properties mechanism of persulfate activation over variety (including...

Nature has developed striking light-powered proteins such as bacteriorhodopsin, which can convert light energy into conformational changes for biological functions. Such natural machines are a great source of inspiration creation their synthetic analogues. However, molecular typically operate at the nanometre scale or below. Translating controlled operation individual to larger dimension, example, 10-100 nm, features many practical applications, is highly important but remains challenging....

Plastic wastes were catalytically transformed into different structured carbons as effective catalysts for peroxymonosulfate activation to degrade organic pollutants in water and the catalytic conversion mechanism was comprehensively investigated. A salt template-based carbonization approach successfully developed converting high-density polyethylene (HDPE) diverse carbon materials, such core-shell composites, nanosheets, their hybrids. The morphology proportions of structure defective found...

The sluggish kinetics of Fe(Ⅱ) recovery in Fenton/Fenton-like reactions significantly limits the oxidation efficiency. In this study, we for first time use boron carbide (BC) as a green and stable promotor to enhance reaction Fe(Ⅲ)/H2O2 degradation diverse organic pollutants. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis chemical quenching/capturing experiments demonstrate that hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are primary reactive species BC/Fe(Ⅲ)/H2O2 system. situ electrochemical indicates BC remarkably...
