Efficient persulfate activation catalyzed by pyridinic N, C-OH, and thiophene S on N,S-co-doped carbon for nonradical sulfamethoxazole degradation: Identification of active sites and mechanisms
Reliable criteria for identifying the intrinsic active sites in carbocatalysts to mediate an electron-transfer mechanism in persulfate activation are presented.
First principles simulations show that in Fe and N co-doped carbon, Fe coordination controls the activity for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions, and that including the electrostatic potential has a major influence at high potential.
