Different reaction mechanisms of SO4•-and •OH with organic compound interpreted at molecular orbital level in Co(II)/peroxymonosulfate catalytic activation system

Huixuan Zhang et al.

Summary: Hydroxyl radical (center dot OH) and sulfate radical (SO4 center dot-) have been widely studied in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for organic pollutants degradation. In this study, a Co(II)/peroxymonosulfate activation system was established to degrade caffeine (CAF), and the different attack routes of SO4 center dot- and center dot OH were explored. It was found that SO4 center dot- is more likely to attack CAF kinetically, while only center dot OH can react via hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) route. Radical adduct formation (RAF) is the most favorable route for both center dot OH and SO4 center dot- attack. These findings provide insights into the degradation mechanism of organic pollutants in AOPs driven by center dot OH and SO4 center dot-.

A General Strategy to Synthesize Fluidic Single Atom Electrodes for Selective Reactive Oxygen Species Production

Limin Jin et al.

Summary: Fine-tuning the geometric and electronic structure of catalytic metal centers via N-coordination engineering allows for the selective electrocatalytic activation of O-2 to O-1(2). Through a coordination modulation strategy, fluidic single-atom electrodes are synthesized, achieving >98% selectivity towards O-1(2) generation. The use of end-on adsorption of O-2 onto Cr-N-4 sites lowers the activation energy barrier, promoting the breakage of Cr-OOH bonds and the formation of (OOH)-O-center dot intermediates. The flow-through configuration of the fluidic electrode enhances mass transport and charge transfer, resulting in improved performance compared to batch reactors.
