Engineered carbon supported single iron atom sites and iron clusters from Fe-rich Enteromorpha for Fenton-like reactions via nonradical pathways

Facile Synthesis of Atomic Fe‐N‐C Materials and Dual Roles Investigation of Fe‐N4 Sites in Fenton‐Like Reactions

“…[ 45 , 46 , 47 ] As the probe reaction, methyl phenyl sulfoxide (PMSO) can be oxidized by high‐valent Fe species to form dimethyl sulfone (PMSO 2 ) via an oxygen‐atom‐transfer process. [ 48 , 49 ] The transformation from PMSO to PMSO 2 can be monitored by HPLC, the existence of high‐valence Fe can thus be confirmed. As shown in Figure S18 (Supporting Information), PMSO cannot be oxidized by PMS alone or with NPC as catalyst.…”

“…Usually, in a system dominated by high-valent Fe, the oxidation process will be ended with PMSO converted into PMSO 2 , and further degradation will not happen. [50][51][52] Therefore, we speculate that this process is not dominated by high-valence Fe.…”

Construction of a Z-scheme g-C3N4/NBGO/BiVO4 heterostructure with visible-light driven photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline: efficiency, reaction pathway and mechanism

“…Tetracycline (TC) is a typical antibiotic used to kill pathogenic bacteria in humans and animals, and has been widely used against commonly occurring infections of the skin and other organs. 1–7 Large amounts of wastewater containing antibiotics are directly discharged into water sources, which poses a massive threat to human health and causes serious environmental problems. 7–11 Thus, it is imperative to explore new control methods and water treatment technologies for removing TC from the water environment.…”

“…1–7 Large amounts of wastewater containing antibiotics are directly discharged into water sources, which poses a massive threat to human health and causes serious environmental problems. 7–11 Thus, it is imperative to explore new control methods and water treatment technologies for removing TC from the water environment. In recent years, semiconductor photocatalysis degradation technology has gained widespread interest as a green and environmentally friendly way to degrade organic pollutants in water.…”

Turning waste into wealth: facile and green synthesis of carbon nanodots from pollutants and applications to bioimaging

“… 9 A large number of methods, such as ozonation, biological treatment, ionic exchange, photocatalysis, oxidative process and adsorption have been developed for the removal of organic dyes from water. 10 However, these efforts are always associated with high chemical and energy consumption, as well as costly equipment investment. Therefore, developing more eco-friendly and efficient tactics for the removal of the organic dyes and turning these chemical pollutants into wealth is still a very meaningful and challenging research.…”
