Abstract
The accurate and rapid detection of persulfate concentration is important for environmental decontamination and human health protection. In this work, a novel self-powered electrochemical sensor for the sensitive monitoring of persulfate was developed, which utilized cobalt tetroxide (Co3O4@CC) or tin-doped cobalt tetroxide (SnxCo3-xO4@CC) cathode as the sensing element and anode with electrogenic microorganisms as the power supplier. The Co3O4@CC and SnxCo3-xO4@CC electrodes were fabricated by in situ growing nanostructured Co3O4 or SnxCo3-xO4 catalysts on carbon cloth. Electrochemical tests revealed that these electrodes exhibited excellent catalytic reduction performance toward persulfate because of the synergistic catalysis by Co3O4 and electrode electrons, well-exposed Co2+/Co3+ catalytic sites, and high electron transfer efficiency. Tin doping could enhance the catalytic persulfate reduction by improving the conductivity and electron transfer of the Co3O4 catalyst. The electrode prepared at a hydrothermal temperature of 90 °C and a tin dosage of 0.286 g·cm-2 achieved the highest persulfate reduction activity under pH 7. The sensing properties of the self-powered sensors toward persulfate were explored in detail. Results showed that under the optimal external load of 300 Ω, the proposed sensor could display a broad detection range of 0 to 1500 μmol L-1 K2S2O8 with sensitivities of 1.13 and 0.12 μA μmol-1 L, a detection limit of 1.11 μmol L-1 (S/N = 3), and a fast response time within 30 s. The sensors also presented satisfactory reproducibility and selectivity during the detection of persulfate. The proposed sensor will provide a new approach for sensitive, on-site, and real-time monitoring of persulfate for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
The activation of PMS to produce active species is an attractive technique for antibiotic degradation but is restricted to the low reaction kinetics and high costs. In this work, a cobalt-based catalyst was prepared by in situ electrodeposition to enhance the electrically activated PMS process for the degradation of antibiotics. Almost 100% of pefloxacin (PFX) was removed within 10 min by employing Co(OH)2 as the catalyst in the electrically activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) process, and the reaction kinetic constant reached 0.52 min-1. The redox processes of Co2+ and Co3+ in Co(OH)2 catalysts were considered to be the main pathways for PMS activation, in which 1O2 was the main active species. Furthermore, this strategy could also achieve excellent degradation efficiency for other organic pollutants. This study provides an effective and low-cost strategy with no secondary pollution for pollutant degradation.

Abstract
In recent years, studies on the degradation of emerging organic contaminants by sulfate radical (SO4-·) based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) have triggered increasing attention. Metal-loaded biochar (Me-BC) can effectively prevent the agglomeration and leaching of transition metals, and its good physicochemical properties and abundant active sites induce outstanding in activating persulfate (PS) for pollutant degradation, which is of great significance in the field of advanced oxidation. In this paper, we reviewed the preparation method and stability of Me-BC, the effect of metal loading on the physicochemical properties of biochar, the pathways of pollutant degradation by Me-BC-activated PS (including free radical pathways: SO4-·, hydroxyl radical (·OH), superoxide radicals (O2-·); non-free radical pathways: singlet oxygen (1O2), direct electron transfer), and discussed the activation of different active sites (including metal ions, persistent free radicals, oxygen-containing functional groups, defective structures, etc.) in the SR-AOPs system. Finally, the prospect was presented for the current research progress of Me-BC in SR-AOPs technology.

Abstract
Metal oxides can activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the catalytic degradation of organic dyes. However, achieving high catalytic efficiency, structural stability, ease of recovery, and recyclability remains challenging for both research and practical applications. To address these requirements, a bimetallic oxide, CuMnO2, was synthesized using a simple hydrothermal approach and was encapsulated to create hydrogel beads, CS-Ca@PEI/CuMnO2. Subsequently, CS-Ca@PEI/CuMnO2 was used to activate PMS and establish a solid-liquid heterogeneous oxidation system (CS-Ca@PEI/CuMnO2/PMS) for the degradation of Congo red (CR). The effects of various parameters such as different systems, catalyst dosages, initial pH values, PMS concentrations, temperatures, and anion types on the catalytic degradation properties of CS-Ca@PEI/CuMnO2 for CR were systematically evaluated. The results indicated that CS-Ca@PEI/CuMnO2 has exceptional degradation capacity, achieving 91.0% degradation of CR at pH 7. After three degradation cycles, the catalyst maintained an 86.9% degradation efficiency compared to its original performance, highlighting its robust structural stability. The presence of reactive radicals, specifically 1O2 and •O2-, were confirmed through quenching experiments, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR). Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) revealed ten proposed intermediates in the catalytic degradation process. Due to its exceptional catalytic performance, structural durability, recyclability, and ease of retrieval, the catalyst shows great potential for effectively removing organic pollutants from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Persulfate (PS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for pollutant removal have attracted extensive interest, but some controversies about the identification of reactive species were usually observed. This critical review aims to comprehensively introduce basic concepts and rectify cognitive biases and appeals to pay more attention to experimental details in PS-AOPs, so as to accurately explore reaction mechanisms. The review scientifically summarizes the character, generation, and identification of different reactive species. It then highlights the complexities about the analysis of electron paramagnetic resonance, the uncertainties about the use of probes and scavengers, and the necessities about the determination of scavenger concentration. The importance of the choice of buffer solution, operating mode, terminator, and filter membrane is also emphasized. Finally, we discuss current challenges and future perspectives to alleviate the misinterpretations toward reactive species and reaction mechanisms in PS-AOPs.

Abstract
In this study, a potassium ferrate (K2FeO4)-modified biochar (Fe-BC) was prepared and characterized. Afterwards, Fe-BC was applied to activated periodate (PI) to degrade tetracycline (TC), an antibiotic widely used in animal farming. The degradation effects of different systems on TC were compared and the influencing factors were investigated. In addition, several reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the Fe-BC/PI system were identified, and TC degradation pathways were analyzed. Moreover, the reuse performance of Fe-BC was evaluated. The results exhibited that the Fe-BC/PI system could remove almost 100% of TC under optimal conditions of [BC] = 1.09 g/L, initial [PI] = 3.29 g/L, and initial [TC] = 20.3 mg/L. Cl-, HCO3-, NO3-, and humic acid inhibited TC degradation to varying degrees in the Fe-BC/PI system due to their quenching effects on ROS. TC was degraded into intermediates and even water and carbon dioxide by the synergistic effect of ROS generated and Fe on the BC surface. Fe-BC was reused four times, and the removal rate of TC was still maintained above 80%, indicating the stable nature of Fe-BC.

Abstract
The activated persulfate (PS) process could produce sulfate radical (SO4·-) and rapidly degrade organic pollutants. The application of Fe3O4 as a promising PS activator was limited due to the rapid conversion of Fe2+ to Fe3+ on its surface. Mo4+ on MoS2 surface could be used as a reducing site to convert Fe3+ to Fe2+, but the separation and recovery of MoS2 was complex. In this study, MoS2/Fe3O4 was prepared to accelerate the Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle on Fe3O4 surface and achieved efficient separation of MoS2. The results showed that MoS2/Fe3O4 was more effective for PS activation compared to Fe3O4 or MoS2, with a removal efficiency of 91.8% for 20 mg·L-1 tetracycline (TC) solution under the optimal conditions. Fe2+ and Mo4+ on MoS2/Fe3O4 surface acted as active sites for PS activation with the generation of SO4•-, •OH, •O2-, and 1O2. Mo4+ acted as an electron donor to promote the Fe3+/Fe2+ cycling and thus improved the PS activation capability of MoS2/Fe3O4. The degradation pathways of TC were inferred as hydroxylation, ketylation of dimethylamino group and C-N bond breaking. This study provided a promising activated persulfate-based advanced oxidation process for the efficient degradation of TC by employing MoS2/Fe3O4 as an effective activator.

Abstract
The exacerbated global water scarcity and stricter water directives are leading to an increment in the recycled water use, requiring the development of new cost-effective advanced water treatments to provide safe water to the population. In this sense, peracetic acid (PAA, CH3C(O)OOH) is an environmentally friendly disinfectant with the potential to challenge the dominance of chlorine in large wastewater treatment plants in the near future. PAA can be used as an alternative oxidant to H2O2 to carry out the Fenton reaction, and it has recently been proven as more effective than H2O2 towards emerging pollutants degradation at circumneutral pH values and in the presence of anions. PAA activation by homogeneous and heterogeneous iron-based materials generates - besides HO• and FeO2+ - more selective CH3C(O)O• and CH3C(O)OO• radicals, slightly scavenged by typical HO• quenchers (e.g., bicarbonates), which extends PAA use to complex water matrices. This is reflected in an exponential progress of iron-PAA publications during the last few years. Although some reviews of PAA general properties and uses in water treatment were recently published, there is no account on the research and environmental applications of PAA activation by Fe-based materials, in spite of its gratifying progress. In view of these statements, here we provide a holistic review of the types of iron-based PAA activation systems and analyse the diverse iron compounds employed to date (e.g., ferrous and ferric salts, ferrate(VI), spinel ferrites), the use of external ferric reducing/chelating agents (e.g., picolinic acid, l-cysteine, boron) and of UV-visible irradiation systems, analysing the mechanisms involved in each case. Comparison of PAA activation by iron vs. other transition metals (particularly cobalt) is also discussed. This work aims at providing a thorough understanding of the Fe/PAA-based processes, facilitating useful insights into its advantages and limitations, overlooked issues, and prospects, leading to its popularisation and know-how increment.

Abstract
Photocatalytic coupling technologies have emerged as popular strategies to increase the treatment efficiency of dye-containing wastewater. Herein, the Z-scheme Co3O4/BiOBr heterojunction (Z-CBH) was constructed and developed as a photocatalytic peroxydisulfate (PDS) activator for the degradation of high-concentration Rhodamine B (RhB). Multiple testing techniques were employed to confirm the formation of Z-CBHs. When 0.1 g·L-1 of Z-CBH20 and 1.0 mmol·L-1 of PDS were added simultaneously under simulated sunlight irradiation, the RhB degradation efficiency could approach 91.3%. Its reaction rate constant (0.01231 min-1) was much beyond the sum of those in the Z-CBH20/light system (0.00436 min-1) and the PDS/light system (0.0062 min-1). h+, •OH, •O2-, SO4•-, and 1O2 were detected as the dominant reactive species for RhB degradation. The potential mechanism of photocatalytic PDS oxidation was proposed. The possible intermediates were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry assisted with density functional theory and Fukui theory. The possible degradation pathways of RhB degradation were put forward. The toxicological properties of RhB and its intermediates were evaluated by quantitative structure-activity relationship prediction. This work will not only provide a reference for developing photocatalytic persulfate activators but also gain an insight into the degradation pathways of RhB and the toxicity of its intermediates.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can directly degrade and mineralize organic pollutants (OPs) in water by generating reactive oxygen species with strong oxidizing ability. The development of advanced electrode materials with high catalytic performance, low energy consumption, no secondary pollution, and long lifespan has become a challenge that must be addressed in this field. A heterojunction catalyst loaded with Co3O4 on TDNAs (Co3O4/RTDNAs) was designed and constructed by a simple and efficient pyrolysis (Co3O4/TDNAs) and electrochemical reduction. Co3O4 can be uniformly distributed on the inner wall and surface of the TiO2 nanotubes, enhancing the specific surface area while forming a tight conductive interface with TiO2. This facilitates rapid transmission of electrons, thereby assisting Co3O4 in quickly activating PS to form reactive oxygen species. The Ti3+ and Ov generated in Co3O4/RTDNAs can significantly improve the electrocatalytic degradation of OPs. Also, the interface formed by Co3O4 and RTDNAs will effectively suppress Co2+ leakage, thereby reducing the risk of secondary pollution. When the reaction conditions were 1 mM PMS (PDS) and a current density of 5 mA/cm2 in the EA-PMS (PDS)/Co3O4/RTDNA system, 30 mg/L TC can achieve 83.24 % (81.89 %) removal in 120 min, with very low cobalt ion leaching, while the energy consumption was reduced significantly. Therefore, EA-PS/Co3O4/RTDNA system has strong stability and a high potential for treating the OPs in AOPs.

Abstract
CuFeS2 is regarded as a promising catalyst for heterogeneous activation to remove organic contaminants in wastewater. However, effects of solvents in regulating material synthesis and catalytic activity are still not clear. Herein, we reported the role of water, ethanol, ethylene glycol (EG), glycerol, and polyethylene glycol 200 on the synthesis of CuFeS2 micro-flowers and their performance in activating persulfate (PS) to remove imidacloprid (IMI) pesticide. The results showed that the solvent had an effect on the morphology, crystallinity, yields, specific surface areas and unpaired electrons of CuFeS2 micro-flowers. The degradation experiments revealed the efficient catalytic activity of EG-mediated CuFeS2 for heterogeneous PS activation. SO4•- and •OH were identified in EG-CuFeS2/PS system and •OH (90.4%) was the dominant reactive species. Meanwhile, stable 20% of η[PMSO2] (the molar ratio of PMSO2 generation to PMSO consumption) was achieved and demonstrated that Fe(IV) was also involved in the degradation process. Moreover, S2- promoted the cycling of Fe3+/Fe2+ and Cu2+/Cu+, enhancing the synergistic activation and reusability of the catalyst. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations verified that PS was adsorbed by Fe atom and electron transfer occurred on the catalyst surface. Three possible degradation pathways of IMI were proposed by analysis of the degradation intermediates and their toxicities were evaluated by ECOSAR. This study not only provides a theoretical foundation for catalyst design, but also promotes the industrial application of bimetallic sulfide Fenton-like catalysts for water management.

Oxygen doped graphite carbon nitride as efficient metal-free catalyst for peroxymonosulfate activation: Performance, mechanism and theoretical calculation. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 338:139539. [PMID: 37474028 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
In this study, oxygen-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), named O-g-C3N4, was successfully fabricated and characterized, and its performance in activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS, HSO5-) for the removal of phenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), bisphenol A (BPA), rhodamine B (RhB), reactive brilliant blue (RBB) and acid orange 7 (AO7) was evaluated. The catalytic performance of O-g-C3N4 for AO7 removal increased by 14 times compared to g-C3N4. In the presence of 0.2 g L-1 O-g-C3N4, 3.5 mM PMS at natural pH 5.8, 96.4% of AO7 could be removed in 60 min, reduced toxicity of the treated AO7 solution was obtained, and the mineralization efficiency was 47.2% within 120 min. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that the charge distribution changed after oxygen doping, and PMS was more readily adsorbed by O-g-C3N4 with the adsorption energy (Eads) of -0.855 kcal/mol than that of the pristine g-C3N4 (Eads: -0.305 kcal/mol). Mechanism investigation implied that AO7 was primarily removed by the sulfate radicals (SO4•-) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) on the surface of O-g-C3N4, but the role of singlet oxygen (1O2) to AO7 elimination was negligible. The results of cyclic experiments and catalyst characterization after reaction confirmed the favorable catalytic activity and structural stability of O-g-C3N4 particles. Furthermore, the O-g-C3N4/PMS system was very resistant to most of the environmental impacts, and AO7 removal was still acceptable in natural water environment. This study may provide an efficient metal-free carbonaceous activator with low dosage for PMS activation to remove recalcitrant organic pollutants (ROPs).

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photothermal and photodynamic therapy, has gained extensive attention in the tumor treatment field recently, while synergistic therapy can significantly improve curative effects. However, a complicated photo-responsive nanosystem, different excitation wavelengths, and low tissue depth hindered its actual application. Herein, single near-infrared responsive PEGylated defective MoO2 nanocrystals were fabricated by a green hydrothermal method. The photothermal and photodynamic performances of the samples were presented in detail under a safe power of 1064 nm (NIR-II, 1.0 W cm-2). Interestingly, the photodynamic properties were prompted by the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) photothermal effect obviously, and the collaborative enhancement mechanism was explored in depth. Subsequently, the in vitro cytotoxicity was evaluated on the 4T1 cancer cells under NIR-II irradiation. This work may provide guidance for the facile fabrication of TMOs for NIR-II responsive and enhanced dual-modal phototherapy.

Abstract
A facile chemical procedure was utilized to produce an effective peroxy-monosulfate (PMS) activator, namely ZnCo2O4/alginate. To enhance the degradation efficiency of Rhodamine B (RhB), a novel response surface methodology (RSM) based on the Box-Behnken Design (BBD) method was employed. Physical and chemical properties of each catalyst (ZnCo2O4 and ZnCo2O4/alginate) were characterized using several techniques, such as FTIR, TGA, XRD, SEM, and TEM. By employing BBD-RSM with a quadratic statistical model and ANOVA analysis, the optimal conditions for RhB decomposition were mathematically determined, based on four parameters including catalyst dose, PMS dose, RhB concentration, and reaction time. The optimal conditions were achieved at a PMS dose of 1 g l-1, a catalyst dose of 1 g l-1, a dye concentration of 25 mg l-1, and a time of 40 min, with a RhB decomposition efficacy of 98%. The ZnCo2O4/alginate catalyst displayed remarkable stability and reusability, as demonstrated by recycling tests. Additionally, quenching tests confirmed that SO4˙-/OH˙ radicals played a crucial role in the RhB decomposition process.

Abstract
A chromate of copper and cobalt (Φy) was synthesized and characterized. Φy activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade ciprofloxacin (CIP) in water. The Φy/PMS combination showed a high degrading capability toward CIP (~100% elimination in 15 min). However, Φy leached cobalt (1.6 mg L-1), limiting its use for water treatment. To avoid leaching, Φy was calcinated, forming a mixed metal oxide (MMO). In the combination of MMO/PMS, no metals leached, the CIP adsorption was low (<20%), and the action of SO4•- dominated, leading to a synergistic effect on pollutant elimination (>95% after 15 min of treatment). MMO/PMS promoted the opening and oxidation of the piperazyl ring, plus the hydroxylation of the quinolone moiety on CIP, which potentially decreased the biological activity. After three reuse cycles, the MMO still presented with a high activation of PMS toward CIP degradation (90% in 15 min of action). Additionally, the CIP degradation by the MMO/PMS system in simulated hospital wastewater was close to that obtained in distilled water. This work provides relevant information on the stability of Co-, Cu-, and Cr-based materials under interaction with PMS and the strategies to obtain a proper catalyst to degrade CIP.

Abstract
Single atomic Cu catalysts (SACs Cu@C) anchored by carbon skeleton and chlorine atom was synthesized by hydrolyzing Cu-MOFs and then pickled by aqua-regia to remove Cu nanoparticles (NPs Cu). Comparative characterizations revealed that SACs Cu@C was a hierarchically porous nanostructure and Cu dispersed uniformly throughout the carbon skeletons. With less active components, SACs Cu@C behaved better in activating PMS over NPs Cu@C on ibuprofen removal (91.3 % versus 30.2 % in 30 min). Two Cu coordination environments were found by EXAF and DFT calculation, including four-coordinated Cu with 4C atoms and six-coordinated Cu with 4Cu and 2Cl atoms. The obvious interfacial electron delivery between PMS and SACs Cu@C was found, which was enhanced by Cl atom. Cu(I)/Cu(II) redox cycle would donate electron to peroxy bond of PMS for generating OH, SO4- and O2-. But electron transferred in opposite direction when PMS bonded to Cu atom through its terminal oxygen atom in sulfate, which formed 1O2. IBP degradation proceeded through both radical and non-radical route. IBP degradation was inhibited with the presence of TBA, methanol and furfuryl alcohol but accelerated by p-BQ, which could accelerate OH generation. Two degradation pathways were deducted. This study provided a new insight into catalysts designed for PMS activation.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) from seawater have a severe threat to human health, aquaculture, and coastal nuclear power safety. Thus, it is highly desirable to explore environmentally friendly, efficient, and economic methods for controlling HABs. Herein, the arbutin-modified cellulose nanocrystals (AT-CNC) activated persulfate (PS), as a novel heterogeneous Fenton-like process, was proposed to remove Phaeocystis globosa (P. globosa) from seawater. The AT-CNC was synthesized via the surface modification of AT on CNC. The effects of AT dosage, CNC dosage, and PS dosage on the removal performance of P. globosa were investigated. With the addition of 530 mg/L AT-CNC (6 wt% AT/CNC of AT loading) and 120 mg/L PS, the removal percentage of chlorophyll a (Rc), optical density at 680 nm (Ro) and turbidity (Rt) reached 97.7%, 91.9% and 85.2% at 24 h. According to electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra and radical quenching tests, the predominant free radicals inactivating P. globosa were hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Additionally, the flocculation of the inactivated algae cells by AT-CNC was also critical for removing P. globosa. Moreover, a positive environmental impact was achieved in the AT-CNC-PS system due to the reduction of nitrogen, phosphorus and organic carbon contents. Based on the excellent removal performance for P. globosa, we believe that the AT-CNC activated persulfate is a promising option for HABs control.

Abstract
Owing to the rapid development of modern industry, a greater number of organic pollutants are discharged into the water matrices. In recent decades, research efforts have focused on developing more effective technologies for the remediation of water containing pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). Recently, sulfate radicals-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) have been extensively used due to their high oxidizing potential, and effectiveness compared with other AOPs in PPCPs remediation. The present review provides a comprehensive assessment of the different methods such as heat, ultraviolet (UV) light, photo-generated electrons, ultrasound (US), electrochemical, carbon nanomaterials, homogeneous, and heterogeneous catalysts for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS). In addition, possible activation mechanisms from the point of radical and non-radical pathways are discussed. Then, biodegradability enhancement and toxicity reduction are highlighted. Comparison with other AOPs and treatment of PPCPs by the integrated process are evaluated as well. Lastly, conclusions and future perspectives on this research topic are elaborated.

Abstract
The widespread use of bisphenol A (BPA) in industry has resulted in BPA contamination of water bodies and even endocrine-disrupting effects on organisms and humans through water transmission. Advanced oxidation processes based on sulfate radicals have received increasing attention due to their ability to efficiently degrade endocrine disruptors (including BPA) in water. In this study, powdered iron (Fe(0)) and ferrous sulfate (Fe(II)) were used as activators to activate persulfate (PS) for the degradation of BPA. The effects of the dosage of the activator, the concentration of PS, the concentration of BPA, the initial solution pH, and the reaction temperature on the degradation efficiency of BPA in Fe(II)/PS and Fe(0)/PS systems were investigated, and the kinetics of BPA degradation under different reaction conditions were analyzed. The results showed that the optimal conditions were [Fe(II)] = 0.1 g/L, [PS] = 0.4 mM, [BPA] = 1 mg/L, T = 70 °C and pH = 5.0 for the Fe(II)/PS system and [Fe(0)] = 0.5 g/L, [PS] = 0.5 mM, [BPA] = 1 mg/L, T = 70 °C and pH = 5.0 for the Fe(0)/PS system; both systems were able to achieve equally good degradation of BPA. The degradation of BPA in the Fe(II)/PS system satisfied the pseudo-secondary kinetic equation under varying PS concentration conditions, otherwise the degradation of BPA in both systems conformed to the pseudo-first-order kinetic equation.

Abstract
As persulfate activator, Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and derivatives are widely concerned in degradation of emerging environmental pollutants by advanced oxygen technology dominated by sulfate radical () (SR-AOPs). However, the poor stability and low catalytic efficiency limit the performance of MOFs, requiring multiple strategies to further enhance their catalytic activity. The aim of this paper is to improve the catalytic activity of MOFs and their derivatives by physical and chemical enhancement strategies. Physical enhancement strategies mainly refer to the activation strategies including thermal activation, microwave activation and photoactivation. However, the physical enhancement strategies need energy consumption and require high stability of MOFs. As a substitute, chemical enhancement strategies are more widely used and represented by optimization, modification, composites and derivatives. In addition, the identification of reactive oxygen species, active site and electron distribution are important for distinguishing radical and non-radical pathways. Finally, as a new wastewater treatment technology exploration of unknown areas in SR-AOPs could better promote the technology development.

Abstract
In this study, Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) was prepared by a hydrothermal and co-precipitation method, being represented as H-CuFeS2 and C-CuFeS2, respectively. The prepared CuFeS2 samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping (EDS-mapping), powder X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), and Raman microscope. Rhodamine B (RhB, 20 ppm) was used as the target pollutant to evaluate the degradation performance by the prepared CuFeS2 samples. The H-CuFeS2 samples (20 mg) in the presence of Na2S2O8 (4 mM) exhibited excellent degradation efficiency (98.8% within 10 min). Through free radical trapping experiment, the major active species were •SO4− radicals and •OH radicals involved the RhB degradation. Furthermore, •SO4− radicals produced from the prepared samples were evaluated by iodometric titration. In addition, one possible degradation mechanism was proposed. Finally, the prepared H-CuFeS2 samples were used to degrade different dyestuff (rhodamine 6G, methylene blue, and methyl orange) and organic pollutant (bisphenol A) in the different environmental water samples (pond water and seawater) with 10.1% mineral efficiency improvement comparing to traditional Fenton reaction.
