The mechanistic difference of 1T-2H MoS2 homojunctions in persulfates activation: Structure-dependent oxidation pathways

Jia-Cheng E. Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanistic difference of 1 T-2H MoS2 homojunctions in catalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for degrading butyl paraben (BPB), finding that PMS/1 T-2H MoS2 showed higher performance in BPB removal, with (OH)•-induced BPB removal being the top priority for both PMS/1 T-2H MoS2 and PDS/1 T-2H MoS2. The different activation pathways and reactive species resulted in varying BPB removal, by-product distributions, and toxicity.
