Highly efficient peroxymonosulfate activation by cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated in alginate-derived carbon for methylene blue degradation

Abstract

BC@Co-T was prepared via a one-step carbothermal method from alginate-Co2+. A possible mechanism whereby BC@Co-9 activates PMS is proposed. Possible pathways for the degradation of MB by BC@Co-9–PMS are suggested.
