In our quest to leverage the capabilities of emerging single-atom catalysts (SACs) for wastewater purification, we confronted fundamental challenges related electron scarcity and instability. Through meticulous theoretical calculations, identified optimal placements nitrogen vacancies (Nv) iron (Fe) sites, uncovering a dual-site approach that significantly amplified visible-light absorption charge transfer dynamics. Informed by these computational insights, cleverly integrated Nv into catalyst design boost density around atoms, yielding potent flexible photoactivator benign peracetic acid. This exceptional exhibited remarkable stability effectively degraded various organic contaminants over 20 cycles with self-cleaning properties. Specifically, sites captured electrons, enabling their swift adjacent Fe under visible light irradiation. mechanism accelerated reduction formed "peracetic acid-catalyst" intermediate. Theoretical calculations were used elucidate synergistic interplay dual mechanisms, illuminating increased adsorption activation reactive molecules. Furthermore, pathways on conduction band elaborately explored, unveiling production species enhanced photocatalytic processes. A six-flux model associated parameters also applied precisely optimize process, providing invaluable insights future photocatalyst design. Overall, this study offers molecule-level insight rational robust SACs in photo-Fenton-like system, promising implications treatment other high-value applications.

The peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-triggered radical and nonradical active species can synergistically guarantee selectively removing micropollutants in complex wastewater; however, realizing this on heterogeneous metal-based catalysts with single sites remains challenging due to insufficient electron cycle. Herein, we design asymmetric Co-O-Bi triple-atom Co-doped Bi2O2CO3 facilitate PMS oxidation reduction simultaneously by enhancing the transfer between sites. We propose that result an density increase Bi decrease Co sites, thereby undergoes a reaction generate SO4•- •OH at site 1O2 site. suggest synergistic effect of SO4•-, •OH, enables efficient removal mineralization without interference from organic inorganic compounds under environmental background. As result, achieves almost 99.3% sulfamethoxazole degradation 3 min k-value as high 82.95 min-1 M-1, which is superior existing reported so far.

Abstract Understanding the site interaction nature of single‐atom catalysts (SACs), especially densely populated SACs, is vital for their application to various catalytic reactions. Herein, we report a distance effect, which emphasizes how well adjacent copper atoms (denoted as d Cu1−Cu1 ) matches with reactant peroxydisulfate (PDS) molecular size determine Fenton‐like reaction reactivity on carbon‐supported SACs. The optimized in range 5–6 Å, PDS, endows catalyst nearly two times higher turnover frequency than that beyond this range, accordingly achieving record‐breaking kinetics oxidation emerging organic contaminants. Further studies suggest effect originates from alteration PDS adsorption dual‐site structure Cu 1 −Cu sites when falls within significantly enhancing interfacial charge transfer and consequently resulting most efficient activation so far.

The high-valent cobalt-oxo species (Co(IV)=O) is being increasingly investigated for water purification because of its high redox potential, long half-life, and antiinterference properties. However, generation Co(IV)=O inefficient unsustainable. Here, a cobalt-single-atom catalyst with N/O dual coordination was synthesized by O-doping engineering. O-doped (Co-OCN) greatly activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) achieved pollutant degradation kinetic constant 73.12 min-1 g-2, which 4.9 times higher than that Co-CN (catalyst without O-doping) those most reported single-atom catalytic PMS systems. Co-OCN/PMS realized dominant oxidation pollutants increasing the steady-state concentration (1.03 × 10-10 M) 5.9 compared Co-CN/PMS. A competitive kinetics calculation showed contribution to micropollutant 97.5% during process. Density functional theory calculations influenced charge density (increased Bader transfer from 0.68 0.85 e), optimized electron distribution Co center d-band -1.14 -1.06 eV), enhanced adsorption energy -2.46 -3.03 eV, lowered barrier key reaction intermediate (*O*H2O) formation 1.12 0.98 eV. Co-OCN fabricated on carbon felt flow-through device, continuous efficient removal micropollutants (degradation efficiency >85% after 36 h operation). This study provides new protocol activation elimination through heteroatom-doping metal-oxo purification.

Abstract Photocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) offers a promising hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) synthetic strategy, especially the one‐step two‐electron (2e − ORR route holds great potential in achieving highly efficient and selectivity. However, 2e is rarely harvested underlying mechanism for regulating pathways remains greatly obscure. Here, by loading sulfone units into covalent organic frameworks (FS‐COFs), we present an photocatalyst H generation via from pure water air. Under visible light irradiation, FS‐COFs exert superb yield of 3904.2 μmol h −1 g , outperforming most reported metal‐free catalysts under similar conditions.

Four-nitrogen-coordinated transitional metal (MN4) configurations in single-atom catalysts (SACs) are broadly recognized as the most efficient active sites peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes. However, SACs with a coordination number higher than four rarely explored, which represents fundamental missed opportunity for chemistry to boost PMS activation and degradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants. We experimentally theoretically demonstrate here that five-nitrogen-coordinated Mn (MnN5) more effectively activate MnN4 sites, by facilitating cleavage O–O bond into high-valent Mn(IV)–oxo species nearly 100% selectivity. The high activity MnN5 was discerned be due formation higher-spin-state N5Mn(IV)═O species, enable two-electron transfer from organics through lower-energy-barrier pathway. Overall, this work demonstrates importance numbers informs design next-generation environmental catalysts.
