How Nitrogen and Sulfur Doping Modified Material Structure, Transformed Oxidation Pathways, and Improved Degradation Performance in Peroxymonosulfate Activation

Xiao-Chi Feng et al.

Summary: This study investigates how nitrogen and sulfur doping transformed the activation mechanism of a Co@rGO/PMS system for tetracycline degradation. The results show that nitrogen doping significantly increased the degradation efficiency without affecting the activation mechanism transformation, while sulfur doping converted Co3O4 to Co4S3 and transformed the oxidation pathway, resulting in higher stability against environmental interferences. The study also demonstrates that Co4S3 has a higher energy barrier for PMS adsorption and cleavage, making the radical pathway less easily stimulated.
