Single cobalt atom anchored on carbon nitride with cobalt nitrogen/oxygen active sites for efficient Fenton-like catalysis

Xigui Liu et al.

Summary: In this study, a facile strategy was proposed to achieve efficient degradation of antibiotics by peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation through in-situ growth of single cobalt atoms on polymeric carbon nitride (pCN). The prepared single-atom cobalt catalyst effectively catalyzed the degradation of tetracycline, with CoN/O sites serving as the active site for generating active radical species (singlet oxygen) from PMS activation. This work may expand the strategy for constructing single-atom catalysts and extend its application for the advanced oxidation process.

Sui L. D. Nicole et al.

Summary: In this study, a fast and facile two-step technique to synthesize Ru/RuO2 aerogels for catalyzing overall water-splitting under alkaline conditions is reported.
