Conversion and impact of dissolved organic matters in a heterogeneous catalytic peroxymonosulfate system for pollutant degradation

Yanshan Wang, Ning Li, Qinglong Fu, Zhanjun Cheng, Yingjin Song, Beibei Yan, Guanyi Chen, Li'an Hou, Shaobin Wang

Summary: This study comprehensively analyzed the molecular transformation behavior of dissolved organic matters (DOM) during peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation by biochar for organic degradation. Different types of reactions were observed, including oxidative decarbonization, dehydrogenation, dehydration, deheteroatomisation, hydration, and N/S oxidation reactions. Certain compounds present in DOM showed moderate or strong inhibition effects on contaminant degradation. This information can be used to regulate ROS composition and DOM conversion process in PMS systems and minimize the interference of DOM conversion intermediates on PMS activation and degradation of target pollutants.

Summary: A series of macroporous carbon nitride-supported single-atom transition metal catalysts have been developed for solar light-driven photocatalytic gaseous NH3 splitting. The optimized Ni-MCN catalyst shows a high H-2 production rate due to the presence of Ni-N-4 sites, which improve the optical properties, accelerate charge carrier separation/transfer, and boost NH3 splitting kinetics. These findings provide valuable guidelines for the rational design of single-atom catalysts for energy- and cost-effective photocatalytic NH3 splitting.

The structure-dependent mechanism of single-atom cobalt on macroporous carbon nitride in (photo-)Fenton-like reactions

Jingkai Lin, Lin Jiang, Wenjie Tian, Yangyang Yang, Xiaoguang Duan, Yan Jiao, Huayang Zhang, Shaobin Wang

Summary: The relationship between the single-atom structure and catalytic activity in Fenton-like catalysis was investigated. Different molecular structures and a light-dependent mechanism were discovered. The Co-N1+3 configuration favored the formation and had higher catalytic activity, while the Co-N2+2 configuration had inferior catalytic activity and negative effects on the adjacent Co-N1+3 site. Additionally, a 100% nonradical reaction pathway that could be photo-switched to a nonradical/radical process by visible light was revealed. This work enriches the fundamentals of single-atom catalysis and provides new insights into the atomic metal structure, reaction pathways and mechanisms, and structure-activity relationships in organic degradation.

Summary: Developing highly efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts is crucial for zinc-air flow batteries. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic polymers (COPs) have emerged as promising alternatives due to their designable and controllable atomic-level structures. However, their catalytic performances are limited by conductivity and catalytic activity. In this study, nanosheet FeNi-MOF and iron phthalocyanine rich COP hybrid materials are assembled through the pi-pi stacking effect to create highly efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts. The resulting catalyst exhibits superior catalytic performance and stability, making it a promising candidate for zinc-air flow batteries.
