Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) could be activated by either radical path or non-radical path, how to rationally mediate these two routines was an important unresolved issue. This work has introduced a simple way to address this problem via metal atom doping. It was found that Fe-doped nitrogen-rich graphitic carbon nitride (Fe-C3N5) exhibited high activity towards PMS activation for tetracycline degradation, and the degradation rate was 3.14 times higher than that of Co-doped nitrogen-rich graphitic carbon nitride (Co-C3N5). Radical trapping experiment revealed the contributions of reactive species over two catalysts were different. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis further uncovered the non-radical activation path played a dominated role on Fe-C3N5 surface, while the radical activation path was the main routine on Co-C3N5 surface. Density functional theory calculations, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, and electrochemical experiments provided convincing evidence to support these views. This study supplied a novel method to mediate PMS activation path via changing the doped metal atom in g-C3N5 skeleton, and it allowed us to better optimize the PMS activation efficiency.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a crucial role in various applications, such as green oxidation processes and the production of high-quality fuels. Currently, H2O2 is primarily manufactured using the indirect anthraquinone method, known for its significant energy consumption and the generation of intensive by-products. Extensive research has been conducted on the photocatalytic production of H2O2 via oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), with polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) emerging as a promising catalyst for this conversion. This review article is organized around two approaches. The first part main consists of the chemical optimization of the PCN structure, while the second focuses on the physical integration of PCN with other functional materials. The objective is to clarify the correlation between the physicochemical properties of PCN photocatalysts and their effectiveness in H2O2 production. Through a thorough review and analysis of the findings, this article seeks to stimulate new insights and achievements, not only in the domain of H2O2 production via ORR but also in other redox reactions.

Abstract
As a renewable aromatic compound with enormous production potential, lignin has various potential high-value utilization pathways, but the success achieved in the field of photocatalysis is limited. Herein, this work prepares a new type of photocatalyst by modifying Graphitic Carbon Nitride Nanotubes (CNT) with self-assembled lignin nanospheres for the photocatalytic production of H2O2 and the degradation of azo dyes. Under light conditions, lignin enhances the production of H2O2 through oxygen reduction and collaborates with carbon nitride tubes to generate O2- and 1O2. Furthermore, carbon nitride tubes form electron-rich regions with lignin, promoting the transfer of electrons from adsorbed aromatic pollutants to this region, thereby facilitating their degradation. The experimental results indicate that the addition of 5 % lignin significantly enhances the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of azo dyes, with a degradation rate 1.87 times higher than that of the original carbon nitride tubes. Furthermore, CNL also have excellent degradation ability to pollutants in actual wastewater. This study provides new insights and prospects for the high-value utilization of lignin, enabling it to be used as a photocatalytic co-catalyst to participate in the photocatalytic degradation of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
A remarkably efficient and affordable Fe/Cu bimetallic catalyst featuring a substantial light energy utilization and compatibility with a sizable substrate was developed for Fenton-like reactions aimed at pollutant control. Specifically, a novel strategy was employed to synthesize high-density metal sites (Fe:Cu ≈ 3:1) robustly embedded on polyethylene/polyethylene terephthalate nonwoven fabric (PE/PET NWF) via radiation-induced graft polymerization (RIGP) and subsequent chemical modification, labeled as Fe/Cu-PPAO. Its high effectiveness was demonstrated by degrading 50 mg/L of tetracycline hydrochloride within 30 min in the presence of H2O2 under simulate sunlight irradiation. It was investigated that amidoxime groups regulated the optical gaps and HOMO-LUMO gaps of metal ions to enable the absorption of a broader spectrum light while the Cu2+ facilitated the transfer of electrons between the bimetal ions to achieve an improved reaction path. Furthermore, X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations further revealed its special complex state and delicate electronic structure between bimetal ions and amidoxime groups. Our study offers a new strategy to synthesize high-density bimetallic sites catalyst for environmental remediation and pushes forward insight into understanding the catalytic mechanism of bimetallic Fenton-like catalysts.

Abstract
Heterogeneous photocatalysis-self-Fenton technology is a sustainable strategy for treating organic pollutants in actual water bodies with high-fluent degradation and high mineralization capacity, overcoming the limitations of the safety risks caused by adding external iron sources and hazardous chemicals in the homogeneous Fenton reaction and injecting high-intensity energy fields in photo-Fenton reaction. Herein, a photo-self-Fenton system based on resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) resin and red mud (RM) was established to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in situ and transform into hydroxy radical (•OH) for efficient degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light irradiation. The capturing experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) confirmed that the hinge for the enhanced performance of this system is the superior H2O2 yield (499 μM) through the oxygen reduction process (ORR) of the two-step single-electron over the resin and the high concentration of •OH due to activation effect of RM. In addition, the Fe2+/Fe3+ cycles are accelerated by photoelectrons to effectively initiate the photo-self-Fenton reaction. Finally, the possible degradation pathways were proposed via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). This study provides a new idea for environmental recovery in a waste-based heterogeneous photocatalytic self-Fenton system.

Abstract
Effectively managing sewage sludge from Fenton reactions in an eco-friendly way is vital for Fenton technology's viability in pollution treatment. This study focuses on sewage sludge across various treatment stages, including generation, concentration, dehydration, and landfill, and employs chemical composite MoS2 to facilitate green resource utilization of all types of sludge. MoS2, with exposed Mo4+ and low-coordination sulfur, enhances iron cycling and creates an acidic microenvironment on the sludge surface. The MoS2-modified iron sludge exhibits outstanding (>95%) phenol and pollutant degradation in hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonosulfate-based Fenton systems, unlike unmodified sludge. This modified sludge maintains excellent Fenton activity in various water conditions and with multiple anions, allowing extended phenol degradation for over 14 d. Notably, the generated chemical oxygen demand (COD) in sludge modification process can be efficiently eliminated through the Fenton reaction, ensuring effluent COD compliance and enabling eco-friendly sewage sludge resource utilization.

Abstract
Two-dimensional carbon nitrides (CxNy) have gained significant attention in various fields including hydrogen energy development, environmental remediation, optoelectronic devices, and energy storage owing to their extensive surface area, abundant raw materials, high chemical stability, and distinctive physical and chemical characteristics. One effective approach to address the challenges of limited visible light utilization and elevated carrier recombination rates is to establish heterojunctions for CxNy-based single materials (e.g. C2N3, g-C3N4, C3N4, C4N3, C2N, and C3N). The carrier generation, migration, and recombination of heterojunctions with different band alignments have been analyzed starting from the application of CxNy with metal oxides, transition metal sulfides (selenides), conductive carbon, and Cx'Ny' heterojunctions. Additionally, we have explored diverse strategies to enhance heterojunction performance from the perspective of carrier dynamics. In conclusion, we present some overarching observations and insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with the development of advanced CxNy-based heterojunctions.

Abstract
The discharge of emerging pollutants in the industrial process poses a severe threat to the ecological environment and human health. Photocatalytic self-Fenton technology combines the advantages of photocatalysis and Fenton oxidation technology through the in situ generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and interaction with iron (Fe) ions to generate a large number of strong reactive oxygen species (ROS) to effectively degrade pollutants in the environment. Graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is considered as the most potential photocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) photocatalyst for H2O2 production due to its excellent chemical/thermal stability, unique electronic structure, easy manufacturing, and moderate band gap (2.70 eV). Hence, in this review, we briefly introduce the advantages of the photocatalytic self-Fenton and its degradation mechanisms. In addition, the modification strategy of the g-C3N4-based photocatalytic self-Fenton system and related applications in environmental remediation are fully discussed and summarized in detail. Finally, the prospects and challenges of the g-C3N4-based photocatalytic self-Fenton system are discussed. We believe that this review can promote the construction of novel and efficient photocatalytic self-Fenton systems as well as further application in environmental remediation and other research fields.

Abstract
The fabrication of novel and efficient transition metal-based catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is of great significance for environmental remediation. Concerning energy consumption, the Co3O4@N-doped carbon (Co3O4@NC-350) was constructed via a half-pyrolysis strategy. The relatively low calcination temperature (350 °C) caused Co3O4@NC-350 to exhibit ultra-small Co3O4 nanoparticles, rich functional groups, uniform morphology, and a large surface area. For PMS activation, Co3O4@NC-350 could degrade 97% of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in 5 min with a high k value of 0.73364 min-1, which was superior to the ZIF-9 precursor and other derived materials. Besides, Co3O4@NC-350 could be re-used over 5 times without obvious performance and structure change. The investigation of the influencing factors containing co-existing ions and organic matter demonstrated the Co3O4@NC-350/PMS system has satisfactory resistance. The quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests showed ˙OH, SO4˙-, ˙O2 - and 1O2 participated in the degradation process. Moreover, the structure and toxicity of intermediates during the SMX decomposing process have been evaluated. Overall, this research provides new prospects for exploring efficient and recycled MOF-based catalysts for PMS activation.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the most commonly used oxidant in advanced oxidation processes for emerging organic contaminant degradation. However, the activation of H2O2 to generate reactive oxygen species is always accompanied by O2 generation resulting in H2O2 waste. Here, we prepare a Ti doped Mn3O4/Fe3O4 ternary catalyst (Ti-Mn3O4/Fe3O4) to create abundant oxygen vacancies (OVs), which yields electron delocalization impacts on enhancing the electrical conductivity, accelerating the activation of O2 to produce H2O2. In Ti-Mn3O4/Fe3O4/H2O2 system, OVs-mediated O2/O2•-/H2O2 redox cycles trigger the activation of locally generated O2, boost the regeneration of O2•- and on site produce H2O2 for replenishment. This leads to a 100% removal of tiamulin in 30 min at an unprecedented H2O2 utilization efficiency of 96.0%, which is 24 folds higher than that with Fe3O4/H2O2. Importantly, further integration of Ti-Mn3O4/Fe3O4 catalysts into membrane filtration achieved high rejections of tiamulin (> 83.9%) from real surface water during a continuous 12-h operation, demonstrating broad pH adaptability, excellent catalytic stability and leaching resistance. This work demonstrates a feasible strategy for developing OVs-rich catalysts for improving H2O2 utilization efficiency via activation of locally generated oxygen during the Haber-Weiss reaction.

Abstract
Photocatalytic disinfection is considered a promising method for eliminating the hazards of pathogenic bacteria. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is an ideal photocatalytic bacterial inactivation material for its advantage of tunable band structure, good stability and easy preparation. This work has constructed a novel defective 3D porous g-C3N4 by cyanamide carbonation using dendritic mesoporous silica template. The direct loading of Fe3O4 nanoparticles provided an excellent pg-C3N4-Fe3O4 photocatalyst suitable for water disinfection. Compared to pristine g-C3N4, the prepared 3D porous defective g-C3N4-Fe3O4 exhibited the enhanced visible light absorbance as indicated by the band gap decreasing of 0.66 eV, and about 3 and 10 fold increase of photo-induced current response and O2 adsorption respectively. The pg-C3N4-Fe3O4 showed excellent visible-light-driven photocatalytic bactericidal activity. It could kill 1 × 107 cfu mL-1Escherichia coli completely within 1 h under visible-light illumination (100 mW cm-2) with good reusability, its logarithmic bacterial inactivation efficiency was about 2.5 fold higher than pg-C3N4. The enhanced bactericidal performance is mainly ascribed to the Fe3O4 involved cascade photo-Fenton reaction.

Abstract
With a facile one-pot solvothermal method, an efficient ternary heterojunction photocatalyst carbon quantum dots (CQDs)/Bi/BiOBr is firstly prepared. Ethylene glycol (EG) is used as the solvent and carbon source for the first time. At 190 °C for 3 h, while BiOBr is synthesized, EG is employed to prepare CQDs through bottom-up method. CQDs are grafted by a large number of functional groups with reducibility, which reduce some neighboring BiO+ to metal Bi. By modifying the solvothermal temperature and time, CQDs and Bi are in-situ controllably deposited on the surface of BiOBr microspheres. Due to different Fermi levels and work functions, the interfaces of CQDs, BiOBr and Bi are connected through ohmic junctions with low contact impedance. The hot electrons from Bi with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties, and electrons in the CB of BiOBr flow to CQDs, forming a C-scheme electron transfer mechanism. O2- from CQDs and h+ in the VB of BiOBr respectively attack the sites with higher and lower electron density in methyl orange (MO) molecule, resulting in its photodegradation into small molecular products.

Abstract
Nowadays, non-typical yolk/shell structure has drawn much attentions due to the better catalytic performance than traditional counterparts (one yolk/one shell). In this study, ZIF-67 @Co2SiO4/SiO2 yolk/shell structure was prepared in one-step at room temperature, in which ZIF-67 was served as the hard-template, H2O was served as etchant and tetraethyl orthosilicat was served as the raw material for Co2SiO4/SiO2. After calcination, the non-typical CoxOy @Co2SiO4/SiO2 yolk/shell nanoreactor with Co2SiO4/SiO2 dual-shells and CoxOy multiple-cores was obtained. On the one hand, more active sites were exposed on multiple-cores surface and better protection were provided by dual-shells. On the other hand, the sheet-like Co2SiO4 inner shell not only extended the travel path and retention time of pollutants trapped in cavity, but also separated the multiple-cores from aggregation. Therefore, the nanoreactor displayed the outstanding catalytic activity and recyclability in Fenton-like reaction. Metronidazole (20 mg/L) was completely degraded after 30 min, rhodamine B (50 mg/L) and methyl orange (20 mg/L) were removed even within 5.0 min. Catalytic mechanism indicated that 1O2 greatly contributed to the pollutant degradation. This paper presented a simple, versatile, green and energy-saving method for non-typical yolk/shell nanoreactor, and it could inspire to prepare other catalysts with high activity and stability for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Utilizing reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are generated by the activation of molecular oxygen (O2) in oxidation reaction, is a promising method for pollutant degradation. However, it is limited by the commonly low efficiency of O2 activation and carrier separation. Herein, as a model system, Ag cocatalyst and Cl doping modified g-C3N4 (Ag/Cl-CN) was constructed to improve the ability of O2 activation. Results showed that Ag/Cl-CN could effectively convert more O2 into ROS than pristine g-C3N4 (CN), and individually decorated CN (Ag-CN and Cl-CN). A series of experiments and DFT calculations revealed that the deposition of Ag could promote charge separation resulting in more charges accumulated around O2 and the introduction of Cl led to a stronger adsorption capacity for O2. Therefore, due to the synergistic effect of Ag cocatalyst and Cl dopant, Ag/Cl-CN generated higher concentrations of O2- and displayed much better activity for photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) than CN, Ag-CN and Cl-CN.

Protonated g-C 3N 4 coated Co 9S 8 heterojunction for photocatalytic H 2O 2 production. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 627:541-553.

Abstract
Photocatalytic H2O2 production is an eco-friendly technique because only H2O, molecular O2 and light are involved. However, it still confronts the challenges of the unsatisfactory productivity of H2O2 and the dependence on organic electron donors or high purity O2, which restrict the practical application. Herein, we construct a type-II heterojunction of the protonated g-C3N4 coated Co9S8 semiconductor for photocatalytic H2O2 production. The ultrathin g-C3N4 uniformly spreads on the surface of the dispersed Co9S8 nanosheets by a two-step method of protonation and dip-coating, and exhibits improved photogenerated electrons transportability and e--h+ pairs separation ability. The photocatalytic system can achieve a considerable productivity of H2O2 to 2.17 mM for 5 h in alkaline medium in the absence of the organic electron donors and pure O2. The optimal photocatalyst also obtains the highest apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 18.10% under 450 nm of light irradiation, as well as a good reusability. The contribution of the type-II heterojunction is that the migrations of electrons and holes within the interface between g-C3N4 and Co9S8 matrix promote the separation of photocarriers, and another channel is also opened for H2O2 generation. The accumulated electrons in conduction band (CB) of Co9S8 contribute to the major channel of two-electron reduction of O2 for H2O2 production. Meanwhile, the electrons in CB of g-C3N4 participate in the single electron reduction of O2 as an auxiliary channel to enhance the H2O2 production.
