摘要：

Single-atom catalysts can activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to enhance its oxidation of organic pollutants in water treatment. We synthesized a series of carbon-supported single-atom transition metal catalysts (MnN@C, FeN@C, CoN@C, NiN@C, and CuN@C) with similar compositions and structures. Their catalytic activity toward PMS activation and oxidation mechanisms were investigated using acid orange 7 (AO7) as a model pollutant. The degradation rate (min−1·mol−1·g·m−2) of AO7 followed order: FeN@C/PMS (7.576 × 103) > MnN@C/PMS (5.104 × 103) > CoN@C/PMS (1.919 × 103) ≫ NiN@C/PMS (0.058 × 103) > CuN@C/PMS (0.035 × 103). Electron transfer mediated by surface-activated PMS was found to be the main regime of AO7 oxidation in the catalytic systems. Density functional theory calculations indicated that the degradation of AO7 was promoted by the intense adsorption of PMS and the electron transfer between AO7 and the surface-activated PMS on the catalyst. The cleavage of the naphthalene ring and the azo group was the primary degradation pathway. The toxicity of the products was significantly reduced. This research provides valuable findings for preparing highly efficient single-atom transition metal catalysts for PMS-based degradation of toxic and refractory organic pollutants from water. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
