Synergistic interface engineering in ZnO@CNT catalysts: electronic modulation for switching peroxydisulfate activation toward a 1 O 2 -dominated non-radical pathway
Key Points
This research aims to explore the efficiency of ZnO@CNT catalysts in activating peroxydisulfate for singlet oxygen production.
Synthesis of ZnO@CNT catalysts
Activation of peroxydisulfate (PDS)
Assessment of singlet oxygen generation
Evaluation of SMX removal from water
ZnO@CNT effectively activates PDS to produce singlet oxygen
Significant reduction of SMX concentration in water
Demonstrated potential for non-radical pathways in pollutant degradation
Abstract
ZnO@CNT triggers PDS to produce singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), removing SMX from water.
