ABSTRACT
The nonradical oxidation pathway for pollutant degradation in Fenton-like catalysis is favorable for water treatment due to the high reaction rate and superior environmental robustness. However, precise regulation of such reactions is still restricted by our poor knowledge of underlying mechanisms, especially the correlation between metal site conformation of metal atom clusters and pollutant degradation behaviors. Herein, we investigated the electron transfer and pollutant oxidation mechanisms of atomic-level exposed Ag atom clusters (AgAC) loaded on specifically crafted nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC). The AgAC triggered a direct electron transfer (DET) between the terminal oxygen (Oα) of surface-activated peroxodisulfate and the electron-donating substituents-containing contaminants (EDTO-DET), rendering it 11-38 times higher degradation rate than the reported carbon-supported metal catalysts system with various single-atom active centers. Heterocyclic substituents and electron-donating groups were more conducive to degradation via the EDTO-DET system, while contaminants with high electron-absorbing capacity preferred the radical pathway. Notably, the system achieved 79.5% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal for the treatment of actual pharmaceutical wastewater containing 1053 mg/L COD within 30 min. Our study provides valuable new insights into the Fenton-like reactions of metal atom cluster catalysts and lays an important basis for revolutionizing advanced oxidation water purification technologies.
