Summary: The novel method introduces a way to activate O-2 spontaneously through interfacial oxygen vacancies on carbon-coated TiO2-x, generating reactive oxygen species with versatile applications. The reactive oxygen species exhibit excellent performance in oxidation reactions and inhibition of MCF-7 cancer cells, providing new insight into the effective utilization of O-2 via oxygen vacancies on metal oxides.

Summary: Climate change has devastating effects on plants, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as byproducts of oxygen consumption. While excessive ROS can disrupt cellular homeostasis, moderate levels can activate growth and stress responses in plants, though the exact mechanisms are not fully understood. Advancements in modern techniques like molecular priming and crop modeling offer potential solutions for managing ROS levels in plants under stress.

Summary: This study established a coupling system by integrating sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) with photocatalysis to enhance the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible light. The researchers developed a novel catalyst, 5%Bi3O4Br/CuBi2O4, for the rapid and efficient degradation of tetracycline (TC). The degradation rate constant in the 5%Bi3O4Br/CuBi2O4 + PMS + Vis system was significantly higher than that of photocatalysis and (SO4-)-S-center dot-AOPs alone. The study provides insights into the degradation pathways of TC and demonstrates the potential of this environmentally-friendly system for the efficient degradation of antibiotics.

Summary: This study investigated the degradation and mechanism of heterogeneous V2O3-activated sodium percarbonate (SPC) process in the presence of oxalic acid (OA). The results showed that SMX degradation strongly depended on SPC dosage and had a wide adaptability to ambient pH in the V2O3/SPC/OA system. Mechanistic experiments revealed the crucial role of (OH)-O-center dot in SMX degradation, and the introduction of OA facilitated the removal process. The presence of certain substances inhibited the decontamination of SMX to varying degrees.
