The Fenton reaction is one of the most efficient and widely used advanced oxidation processes for remediating the ever-growing water pollution. Metal-free photocatalysts for Fenton-like reactions have gathered enormous scientific interest for their advantages including board pH operation range and high stability. Herein, we demonstrate a metal-free covalent organic framework (COF)-based standalone photocatalyst with superior reactivity and reusability for Fenton-like reactions at acid and neutral pH solutions, which can be attributed to its large porosity, high density of the photoactive triazine moiety, vertical π arrays formed by eclipsed layer stacking and the <i>β</i>‑ketoenamine linkage. Our experiments showed that the photocatalyst can absorb visible light effectively for activation of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, producing abundant reactive oxygen species including superoxide radical (O<sub>2</sub><sup>·-</sup>), hydroxyl radical (<sup>·</sup>OH), and singlet oxygen (<sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub>) for oxidizing organic pollutants. This work not only provides an efficient metal-free photocatalyst for Fenton-like reactions, but also paves the way for COFs towards advanced oxidation processes, opening up the possibilities to their future applications in industry.

The reactive intermediate in Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) is the •OH radical. It may be generated by various approaches such as the Fenton reaction (Fe2 + /H2O2), photo-Fenton reaction (Fe3 + /H2O2/hν), UV/H2O2, peroxone reaction (O3/H2O2), O3/UV, O3/activated carbon, O3/dissolved organic carbon (DOC) of water matrix, ionizing radiation, vacuum UV, and ultrasound. The underlying reactions and •OH formation efficiencies are discussed. The key reactions of •OH radicals also addressed in this review.
