Developing efficient and stable heterogeneous catalysts for the continuous activation of oxidants is crucial to mitigating global water resource crisis. Guided by computational predictions, this research achieved goal through synthesis a modified graphitic carbon nitride with enhanced catalytic activity stability. Its intrinsic was further amplified dynamic in-situ reconstruction using I−/I3− redox mediator system during photoreactions. Impressively, reconstructed catalyst demonstrated capability at least 30 regeneration cycles while maintaining high purification efficacy. The mechanism underlying active sites periodate functionalization elucidated theoretical calculations, coupled semi-in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) electrochemical analyses. system's capacity detoxify recalcitrant pollutants successful Escherichia coli cultivation Zebrafish embryo experiments. economic feasibility environmental impacts are quantitatively assessed Electrical Energy per Order (EE/O) metric Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), confirming scalability applicability in real-world scenarios. This dual-site constrained interlayer insertion, controllable achieve durable robustness photocatalyst, paving way development sustainable technologies. Efficient sustained oxidant vital solving crisis but elusive. Here, authors explore situ photocatalysts iodine mediators, develop solar-driven Fenton-like that activates effective wastewater regeneration.
