Summary: Heteroatom-modified carbon-based catalysts, particularly nitrogen-doped ones, are effective in activating peroxymonosulfate. However, the study found that graphitized carbon nanomaterial GC800 exhibited similar catalytic capacity as nitrogen-doped NGC800 in degrading BPA, but with a higher degradation rate constant. The surface chemistry of carbon materials plays a significant role in catalytic velocity, with GC800 showing a multi-pathway synergy dominated by non-radical electron transfer.

Summary: This work successfully synthesized a cost-efficient catalyst composed of cobalt oxides on the surface of electrolytic manganese residue. The catalyst showed better catalytic performance in activating persulfate for the degradation of organic contaminants compared to other metal oxide catalysts. Introducing oxygen vacancies enlarged the bond length between metal oxides in the catalyst and promoted electron transfer. The experimental results demonstrated that the catalyst exhibited high degradation efficiency for different types of organic pollutants and could be used for practical wastewater treatment.

Summary: Developing high-efficient, low-cost, and environmentally friendly catalysts for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) is a challenge. Novel catalysts of transition metal-nitrogen co-doped carbon materials, especially Fe-N-C, have shown superior performance for PMS activation. Through experiments, it is found that concave N, S co-doped iron-based carbon materials have significant activation ability for PMS and can efficiently degrade acetaminophen. Moreover, these materials have good pH adaptability and low leaching iron concentration.

Summary: The brownmillerite-type oxide Ca2Co2O5 (CCO) was synthesized and used for the first time to degrade organic pollutants with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) as oxidant. It showed higher activity and stability compared to other Co-based catalysts, degrading over 93% of acid orange 7 in 7.5 minutes under mild conditions. The catalyst's performance was attributed to the easy oxidation of Co(II) species, strong interactions between CCO, PMS, and pollutants, and the synergistic effect between Co and Ca. Additionally, a new mechanism involving radicals produced from low valent Co species oxidation and direct electron transfer process through high valent Co species was identified, providing insights into PMS-mediated reaction.

Summary: This study reveals the nonradical mechanism involved in peroxymonosulfate activation in carbonaceous materials and the formation of crucial intermediates, providing insights into the efficiency and activation energy of NHCS/PMS system for organic degradation. Persistent free radicals play a significant role in organic degradation, and their formation relies on the attack of surface-bonded radicals in PMS. The evolution of persistent free radicals from oxygen-centered to carbon-centered radicals is triggered by the degradation intermediates of aromatic compounds.

The material's bilayer structure improved catalytic performance and reduced leaching of metal ions. Factors such as PMS dosage, pollutant concentration, and initial pH influenced TC degradation. The main reactive oxygen species in the degradation process were singlet oxygen, superoxide radicals, sulfate radicals, and hydroxyl radicals. The material showed high degradation efficiency even after multiple cycles and pyrolysis regeneration.
