Abstract
Catalytic membrane technology for water treatment is often constrained by a trade-off between permeability and catalytic efficiency as well as interference from coexisting anions and organic matter in natural water matrices. Herein, a novel cobalt-loaded MXene (Co/MXene) 2D membrane with good hydrophilicity, electrical conductivity, and PMS activation function is constructed. The negative voltage is exerted on the membrane to significantly enhance its PMS activation efficiency and anti-interference capacity toward effective water treatment. Under -2 V, the optimal Co/MXene catalytic membrane displays 100% rhodamine b (RhB) removal within a residence time of only 1.1 s, whose RhB degradation kinetic constant (k of 6.85 s-1) is 17.6 times higher than that of the Co/MXene catalytic membrane alone and is also greatly superior to other advanced catalysts and catalytic membranes. Meanwhile, the catalytic membrane displays obvious anti-interference ability in the presence of various coexisting substances of the water matrix and performs well in treating the secondary effluent of coking wastewater. The radical-dominated (SO4•- and •OH) mechanism accompanied by the nonradical species (1O2 and Co(VI)═O) is revealed in the system, and the reactive species production is obviously enhanced under negative voltage. Experimental results and theoretical calculations jointly confirm the key role of electrochemical assistance in enhancing membrane performance, which not only facilitates cycling of Co3+/Co2+ for enhanced PMS activation via improving PMS adsorption and promoting charge transfer from Co to PMS but also hinders interference from coexisting substances in water via electrostatic repulsion.

Abstract
With maximum utilization of active metal sites, more and more researchers have reported using single atom catalysts (SACs) to activate persulfate (PS) for organic pollutants removal. In SACs, single metal atoms (Fe, Co, Cu, Mn, etc.) and different substrates (porous carbon, biochar, graphene oxide, carbon nitride, MOF, MoS2, and others) are the basic structural. Metal single atoms, substances, and connected chemical bonds all have a great influence on the electronic structures that directly affect the activation process of PS and degradation efficiency to organic pollutants. However, there are few relevant reviews about the interaction between metal single atoms and substances during PS activation process. In this review, the SACs with different metal species and substrates are summarized to investigate the metal-support interaction and evaluate their effects on PS oxidation reaction process. Furthermore, how metal atoms and substrates affect the reactive species and degradation pathways are also discussed. Finally, the challenges and prospects of SACs in PS-AOPs are proposed.

Enhanced Activity of Small Pt Nanoparticles Decorated with High-Loading Single Fe─N 4 for Methanol Oxidation and Oxygen Reduction via the Assistive Active Sites Strategy. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2308473. [PMID: 37972267 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202308473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
Decorating platinum (Pt) with a single atom offers a promising approach to tailoring their catalytic activity. In this study, for the first time, an innovative assistive active sites (AAS) strategy is proposed to construct high-loading (3.46wt.%) single Fe─N4 as AAS, which are further hybridized with small Pt nanoparticles to enhance both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) activities. For ORR, the target catalyst (Pt/HFeSA-HCS) exhibits a higher mass activity (MA) of 0.98 A mgPt -1 and specific activity (SA) of 1.39 mA cmPt -2 at 0.90 V versus RHE. As for MOR, Pt/HFeSA-HCS shows exceptional MA (3.21 A mgPt -1) and SA (4.27 mA cmPt -2) at peak values, surpassing commercial Pt/C by 15.3 and 11.5 times, respectively. The underlying mechanism behind this AAS strategy is to find that in MOR, Fe─N4 promotes water dissociation, generating more *OH to accelerate the conversion of *CO to CO2. Meanwhile, in ORR, Fe─N4 acts as a competitor to adsorb *OH, weakening Pt─OH bonding and facilitating desorption of *OH on the Pt surface. Constructing AAS that can enhance dual functionality simultaneously can be seen as a successful "kill two birds with one stone" strategy.

Abstract
H2O2 is widely used in the treatment of refractory organic pollutants.However, due to its explosive and corrosive chemical characteristics, H2O2 will bring great safety risks and troubles in transportation.So we chose sodium percarbonate(SPC) to be used in catalytic wet peroxide oxidation enhanced by swirl flow(SF-CWPO) and we designed carbon nanotubes with Ni single atom sites(Ni-NCNTs/AC) to activate SPC to treat an m-cresol wastewater containing Si.Meanwhile, artificial intelligence which used Artificial neural network (ANN) was used to optimize the conditions.Under the conditions of pH = 9.27, reaction time of 8.91 min, m-cresol concentration is 59.09 mg L-1, SPC dosage is 2.80 g L-1 and Na2SiO3·9H2O dosage is 77.27 mg L-1, the degradation rate of total organic carbon(TOC) and m-cresol reaches 94.37% and 100%, respectively.Finally, the applicability of Ni-NCNTs/AC-SPC-SF-CWPO technology was evaluated in a wastewater system of a sewage treatment enterprise and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrum(FT-ICR MS) analysis and chemical oxygen demand(COD) analysis showed the great ability of Ni-NCNTs/AC-SPC-SF-CWPO technology to treat wastewater.It is believed that this paper is of great significance to the design and construction of the in-depth research and industrial application of SF-CWPO.

Abstract
Inadequate photo-generated charge separation, migration, and utilization efficiency limit the photocatalytic efficiency. Herein, a MoS2 /MIL-53(Fe) photocatalyst/activator with the S-scheme heterojunction structure is designed and the charge migration behavior is modulated by the internal electric field (IEF). The IEF intensity is enhanced to 40 mV by modulating band bending potential and the depletion layer length of MoS2 . The photo-generated electron migration process is boosted by constructing the electron migration bridge (Fe-O-S) and modulating the IEF as the driving force, confirmed by the density functional theory calculation. Compared with the pristine materials, the photocurrent density of MoS2 /MIL-53(Fe) is significantly enhanced 27.5 times. Contributed by the visible-light-driven cooperative catalytic degradation and the high-efficiency direct photo-generated electron reduction dichlorination process, satisfactory chlorinated antibiotics removal and detoxification performances are achieved. This study opens up new insights into the application of heterojunctions in photocatalytic activation of PDS in environmental remediation.

Abstract
Currently, the rarity and high cost of platinum (Pt)-based electrocatalysts seriously limit their commercial application in fuel cells cathode. Decorating Pt with atomically dispersed metal-nitrogen sites possibly offers an effective pathway to synergy tailor their catalytic activity and stability. Here active and stable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts (Pt3 Ni@Ni-N4 -C) by in situ loading Pt3 Ni nanocages with Pt skin on single-atom nickel-nitrogen (Ni-N4 ) embedded carbon supports are designed and constructed. The Pt3 Ni@Ni-N4 -C exhibits excellent mass activity (MA) of 1.92 A mgPt -1 and specific activity of 2.65 mA cmPt -2 , together with superior durability of 10 mV decay in half-wave potential and only 2.1% loss in MA after 30 000 cycles. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that Ni-N4 sites significant redistribute of electrons and make them transfer from both the adjacent carbon and Pt atoms to the Ni-N4 . The resultant electron accumulation region successfully anchored Pt3 Ni, that not only improves structural stability of the Pt3 Ni, but importantly makes the surface Pt more positive to weaken the adsorption of *OH to enhance ORR activity. This strategy lays the groundwork for the development of super effective and durable Pt-based ORR catalysts.
