Hetero-interface-engineered sulfur vacancy and oxygen doping in hollow Co9S8/Fe7S8 nanospheres towards monopersulfate activation for boosting intrinsic electron transfer in paracetamol degradation

Ta Cong Khiem et al.

Summary: Designing defects-rich hollow heterostructure bimetal sulfides is an efficient strategy for accelerated monoper-sulfate (MPS) activation. The mono-step sulfidation method was used to develop sulfur vacancy (SV)-rich hollow oxygen-doped Co9S8/Fe7S8 (O-CSFS), which exhibited superior performance due to the highly elec-troactive sites induced by SV and oxygen doping, low charge resistance, and increased conductivity. The ROS-driven pathway and ET-driven pathway were found to be responsible for PCM degradation in the O-CSFS/MPS system, with the ET-driven pathway playing a more significant role.
