Yueyue Li et al.

Summary: In this study, magnetic CoMoO4/CoFe2O4 (CMO/CFO) nanospheres were synthesized and used as catalysts for dyeing wastewater treatment. The CMO shell enhanced the redox conversion and increased the oxygen vacancies concentration. The degradation of MB in the CMO/CFO/PMS system was dominated by a non-radical pathway, with O-1(2) identified as the most abundant ROS. Additionally, CMO/CFO exhibited faster reaction kinetics than pristine CFO and maintained a high removal rate of MB even after continuous use.

Qingqing Li et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel N-doped porous carbon catalyst with multiple active sites was successfully synthesized and showed excellent catalytic activity towards tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH).
