J Environ Sci (China) 2025; 147:652-664. [PMID: 39003080 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.12.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
Ball milling is an environmentally friendly technology for the remediation of petroleum-contaminated soil (PCS), but the cleanup of organic pollutants requires a long time, and the post-remediation soil needs an economically viable disposal/reuse strategy due to its vast volume. The present paper develops a ball milling process under oxygen atmosphere to enhance PCS remediation and reuse the obtained carbonized soil (BCS-O) as wastewater treatment materials. The total petroleum hydrocarbon removal rates by ball milling under vacuum, air, and oxygen atmospheres are 39.83%, 55.21%, and 93.84%, respectively. The Langmuir and pseudo second-order models satisfactorily describe the adsorption capacity and behavior of BCS-O for transition metals. The Cu2+, Ni2+, and Mn2+ adsorbed onto BCS-O were mainly bound to metal carbonates and metal oxides. Furthermore, BCS-O can effectively activate persulfate (PDS) oxidation to degrade aniline, while BCS-O loaded with transition metal (BCS-O-Me) shows better activation efficiency and reusability. BCS-O and BCS-O-Me activated PDS oxidation systems are dominated by 1O2 oxidation and electron transfer. The main active sites are oxygen-containing functional groups, vacancy defects, and graphitized carbon. The oxygen-containing functional groups and vacancy defects primarily activate PDS to generate 1O2 and attack aniline. Graphitized carbon promotes aniline degradation by accelerating electron transfer. The paper develops an innovative strategy to simultaneously realize efficient remediation of PCS and sequential reuse of the post-remediation soil.

Enhanced degradation of reactive black 5 via persulfate activation by natural bornite: influencing parameters, mechanism and degradation pathway. ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2024; 45:3961-3973. [PMID: 37452659 DOI: 10.1080/09593330.2023.2237660] [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: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 07/02/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
Reactive black 5 (RBk5) is a refractory azo dye that constitutes a serious threat to the environment and humans. Herein, natural bornite (Nbo) was utilized to activate persulfate (PDS) for the RBk5 removal. The particle size of the Nbo catalyst was optimized and the RBk5 degradation rate constant that responded positively to the particle size of the Nbo catalyst was exhibited. Then, the operational factors affecting RBk5 removal were comprehensively investigated. With the addition of 1.5 g L-1 Nbo and 1.5 mM PDS, 99.05% of the RBk5 (20 mg L-1) was removed in 150 min compared with 0.46% removal with PDS only, which was caused by the additional reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the synergistic action of Fe-Cu bimetallic metal and reductive sulfur species. The Nbo catalyst presented high stability and reusability toward RBk5 removal. Identification of reactive oxygen species revealed that SO 4 ⋅ - , ·OH, O 2 ⋅ - and 1O2 collectively participated in RBk5 removal. Additionally, a possible degradation pathway for RBk5 was proposed, including cleavage of the azo, C-S and S-O bonds, hydroxylation, hydrolyzation, direct oxidation and other pathways. This work developed a highly effective and low-cost natural mineral-based bimetallic sulfide material for PDS activation for the degradation of contaminants and environmental remediation.

Abstract
Herein, a new heterogeneous CoSe2-x@NC material with abundant selenium vacancies is synthesized via an in-situ carbonization-selenization process from cobaltic metal organic framework (Co-MOF). The obtained CoSe2-x@NC has a unique electronic structure and rich active sites, which can activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade carbamazepine (CBZ) with superior catalytic performance and stability. The quenchingexperiments and EPR test show that SO4•- is the dominant reactive oxidation species (ROSs) for CBZ degradation. Significantly, systemic electrochemical tests and theoretical calculations illustrated that the dominant role of SO4•- is attributed to the existence of abundant selenium vacancies in CoSe2-x@NC, which can adjust the density of electron cloud of the Co atoms in CoSe2-x@NC to improve the PMS adsorption and promoting the conversion of transition metallic redox pairs (Co3+/Co2+). This work provides a facile way to improve the activity and stability of CoSe2 by defect engineering in the PMS based advanced oxidation process (AOPs).

Abstract
A heterojunction of trace Co3O4 bonded on oxygen vacancies (OVs)-rich ZnO (OVs-ZnO/Co3O4) was synthesized via defect-assisted method to promote peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation and pollutants degradation. Experiments and theoretical calculations demonstrated that electrons could efficiently transfer from OVs-ZnO to Co3O4. OVs-ZnO and Co3O4 played different roles in activating PMS. PMS was easily adsorbed on the OVs-ZnO to form PMS* complex and mediated electron transfer to oxide ciprofloxacin (CIP), whereas, Co3O4 facilitated breakup of peroxide bond to produce radicals. The optimal OVs-ZnO/Co3O4 with Co content of 1.34% exhibited good PMS decomposition ability (94.2% in 30 min) compared to unmodified ZnO (24.2%), stability and anti-interference feature in removing CIP, 96.9% CIP (10 ppm) and 79.6% of total organic carbon were removed in 30 min. Moreover, the OVs-ZnO/Co3O4 achieved 91.2% CIP removal ratio with 1.0 mM PMS via a flow-through device in 180 min. This study proposes a new strategy to enhance PMS activation of ZnO and provides new viewpoint in PMS activation way.

Abstract
The treatment of wastewater containing hypophosphite [P(I)] and phosphite [P(III)] is challenged by limitations of traditional Fenton oxidation such as low efficiency, secondary pollution and high costs. This study introduced a facile solvent-thermal method to synthesize Cu-Co3O4 nanoparticles uniformly loaded on graphene (Cu-Co3O4/U-rGO) through the reduction and coordination effects of urushiol (U). As prepared Cu-Co3O4/U-rGO exhibited excellent activity in activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the oxidation of P(I)/P(III) to phosphate [P(V)] (0.229 min-1), along with high stability and reusability (91.5 % after 6 cycles), low metal leaching rate (Co: 0.2 mg/L, Cu: 0.05 mg/L), insensitivity to common anions in water and a wide pH range (3-11). The activation mechanism involved the synergistic effects from both urushiol and graphene, which promoted redox of Cu+/Cu2+ and Co2+/Co3+ and induced abundant oxygen vacancies for PMS activation to produce singlet oxygen. Furthermore, the Cu-Co3O4/U-rGO/PMS was also excellent in the oxidative removal of organic phosphorus. This study is expected to advance strategies for the treatment of P(I)/P(III)-rich wastewater and provide new insights for the development of low-cost, highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts with abundant oxygen vacancies.

Abstract
The removal of trace amounts of antibiotics from water environments while simultaneously avoiding potential environmental hazards during the treatment is still a challenge. In this work, green, harmless, and novel asymmetric mesoporous TiO2 (A-mTiO2) was combined with peroxodisulfate (PDS) as active components in a controlled-release material (CRM) system for the degradation of tetracycline (TC) in the dark. The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the degradation pathways of TC during catalytic PDS activation by A-mTiO2 powder catalysts and the CRMs were thoroughly studied. Due to its asymmetric mesoporous structure, there were abundant Ti3+/Ti4+ couples and oxygen vacancies in A-mTiO2, resulting in excellent activity in the activation of PDS for TC degradation, with a mineralization rate of 78.6%. In CRMs, ROS could first form during PDS activation by A-mTiO2 and subsequently dissolve from the CRMs to degrade TC in groundwater. Due to the excellent performance and good stability of A-mTiO2, the resulting constructed CRMs could effectively degrade TC in simulated groundwater over a long period (more than 20 days). From electron paramagnetic resonance analysis and TC degradation experiments, it was interesting to find that the ROS formed during PDS activation by A-mTiO2 powder catalysts and CRMs were different, but the degradation pathways for TC were indeed similar in the two systems. In PDS activation by A-mTiO2, besides the free hydroxyl radical (·OH), singlet oxygen (1O2) worked as a major ROS participating in TC degradation. For CRMs, the immobilization of A-mTiO2 inside CRMs made it difficult to capture superoxide radicals (·O2-), and continuously generate 1O2. In addition, the formation of sulfate radicals (·SO4-), and ·OH during the release process of CRMs was consistent with PDS activation by the A-mTiO2 powder catalyst. The eco-friendly CRMs had a promising potential for practical application in the remediation of organic pollutants from groundwater.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical residues in sediments are concerning as ubiquitous emerging contaminants. Pyrite is the most abundant sulfide minerals in the estuarine and coastal sediments, making it a major sink for pharmaceutical pollutants such as sulfamethoxazole (SMX). However, research on the adsorption and redox behaviors of SMX on the pyrite surface is limited. Here, we investigated the impact of the nonphotochemical process of pyrite on the fate of coexisting SMX. Remarkably, sulfur vacancies (SVs) on pyrite promoted the generation of nonradical species (hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 and singlet oxygen, 1O2), thereby exhibiting prominent SMX degradation performance under darkness. Nonradical 1O2 contributed approximately 73.1% of the total SMX degradation. The SVs with high surrounding electron density showed an advanced affinity for adsorbing O2 and then initiated redox reactions in the sediment electron-storing geobattery pyrite, resulting in the extensive generation of H2O2 through a two-electron oxygen reduction pathway. Surface Fe(III) (hydro)oxides on pyrite facilitated the decomposition of H2O2 to 1O2 generation. Distinct nonradical products were observed in all investigated estuarine and coastal samples with the concentrations of H2O2 ranging from 1.96 to 2.94 μM, while the concentrations of 1O2 ranged from 4.63 × 10-15 to 8.93 × 10-15 M. This dark-redox pathway outperformed traditional photochemical routes for pollutant degradation, broadening the possibilities for nonradical species use in estuarine and coastal sediments. Our study highlighted the SV-triggered process as a ubiquitous yet previously overlooked source of nonradical species, which offered fresh insights into geochemical processes and the dynamics of pollutants in regions of frequent redox oscillations and sulfur-rich sediments.

Abstract
Biochar materials have garnered attention as potential catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation due to their cost-effectiveness, notable specific surface area, and advantageous structural properties. In this study, a suite of plantain-derived biochar (MBB-400, MBB-600, and MBB-800), possessing a well-defined pore structure and a substantial number of uniformly distributed active sites (oxygen vacancy, OVs), was synthesized through a facile calcination process at varying temperatures (400, 600, and 800 °C). These materials were designed for the activation of PMS in the degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). Experimental investigations revealed that OVs not only functioned as enriched sites for pollutants, enhancing the opportunities for free radicals (•OH/SO4•-) and surface-bound radicals (SBRs) to attack pollutants, but also served as channels for intramolecular charge transfer leaps. This role contributed to a reduction in interfacial charge transfer resistance, expediting electron transfer rates with PMS, thereby accelerating the decomposition of pollutants. Capitalizing on these merits, the MBB-800/PMS system displayed a 61-fold enhancement in the conversion rate for SMX degradation compared to inactivated MBB/PMS system. Furthermore, the MBB-800 exhibited less cytotoxicity towards rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Hence, the straightforward calcination synthesis of MBB-800 emerges as a promising biochar catalyst with vast potential for sustainable and efficient wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 920:170982. [PMID: 38367723 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170982] [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: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
The application of iron-doped biochar in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation systems has gained increasing attention due to their effectiveness and environmental friendliness in addressing environmental issues. However, the behavioral mechanism of iron doping and the detailed 1O2 generation mechanism in PMS activation systems remain ambiguous. Here, we investigated the effects of three anions (Cl-, NO3-and SO42-) on the process of iron doping into bone char, leading to the synthesis of three iron-doped bone char (Fe-ClBC, Fe-NBC and Fe -SBC). These iron-doped bone char were used to catalyze PMS to degrade acetaminophen (APAP) and exhibited the following activity order: Fe-ClBC > Fe-NBC > Fe-SBC. Characterization results indicated that iron doping primarily occurred through the substitution of calcium in hydroxyapatite within BC. In the course of the impregnation, the binding of SO42- and Ca2+ hindered the exchange of iron ions, resulting in lower catalytic activity of Fe-SBC. The primary reactive oxygen species in the Fe-ClBC/PMS and Fe-NBC/PMS systems were both 1O2. 1O2 is produced through O2•- conversion and PMS self-dissociation, which involves the generation of metastable iron intermediates and electron transfer within iron species. The presence of oxygen vacancies and more carbon defects in the Fe-ClBC catalyst facilitates 1O2 generation, thereby enhancing APAP degradation within the Fe-ClBC/PMS system. This study is dedicated to in-depth exploration of the mechanisms underlying iron doping and defect materials in promoting 1O2 generation.

Abstract
The application of density functional theory (DFT) methods in catalysis has been growing fast in the last few decades thanks to both the availability of more powerful high computing resources and the development of new efficient approximations and approaches. DFT calculations allow for the understanding of crucial catalytic aspects that are difficult or even impossible to access by experiments, thus contributing to faster development of more efficient and selective catalysts. Depending on the catalytic system and properties under investigation, different approaches should be used. Moreover, the reliability of the obtained results deeply depends on the approximations involved in both the selected method and model. This review addresses chemists, physicists and materials scientists whose interest deals with the application of DFT-based computational tools in both homogeneous catalysis and heterogeneous catalysis. First, a brief introduction to DFT is presented. Then, the main approaches based on atomic centered basis sets and plane waves are discussed, underlining the main differences, advantages and limitations. Eventually, guidance towards the selection of the catalytic model is given, with a final focus on the evaluation of the energy barriers, which represents a crucial step in all catalytic processes. Overall, the review represents a rational and practical guide for both beginners and more experienced users involved in the wide field of catalysis.

Mechanism of interaction between ascorbic acid and soil iron-containing minerals for peroxydisulfate activation and organophosphorus flame retardant degradation. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 244:117883. [PMID: 38072104 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117883] [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: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
Soil constituents may play an important role in peroxydisulfate (PDS)-based oxidation of organic contaminants in soil. Iron-containing minerals (Fe-minerals) have been found to promote PDS activation for organics degradation. Our study found that ascorbic acid (H2A) could enhance PDS activation by soil Fe-minerals for triphenyl phosphate (TPHP) degradation. Determination and characterization analyses of Fe fractions showed that H2A could induce the reductive dissolution of solid Fe-minerals and the increasing of oxygen vacancies/hydroxyl groups content on Fe-minerals surface. The increasing of divalent Fe (Fe(II)) accelerated PDS activation to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quenching studies showed that sulfate radicals (SO4•-) and hydroxyl radicals (HO•) contributed significantly to TPHP degradation. The composition and content of Fe-minerals and soil organic matter (SOM) markedly influenced ROS transformations. Surface-bond and structural Fe played the main role in the production of Fe(II) in reaction system. The high-concentration SOM could result in ROS consumption and degradation inhibition. Density functional theory (DFT) studies revealed that H2A is preferentially adsorbed at α-Fe2O3(012) surface through Fe-O-C bridges rather than hydrogen bonds. After absorption, H atoms on H2A may further be migrated to adjacent O atoms on the α-Fe2O3(012) surface. With the transformation of H atoms to the α-Fe2O3(012) surface, the Fe-O-C bridge is broken and one electron is transferred from the O to Fe atom, inducing the reduction of trivalent Fe (Fe(III)) atom. MS/MS2 analysis, HPLC analysis, and toxicity assessment demonstrated that TPHP was transformed to less toxic 4-hydroxyphenyl diphenyl phosphate (OH-TPHP), diphenyl hydrogen phosphate (DPHP), and phenyl phosphate (PHP) through phenol-cleavage and hydroxylation processes, and even be mineralized in reaction system.

Abstract
The persulfate activation-based advanced oxidation process (PS-AOP) is an important technology in wastewater purification. Using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as heterogeneous catalysts in the PS-AOP showed good application potential. Considering the intrinsic advantages and disadvantages of MOF materials, combining MOFs with other functional materials has also shown excellent PS activation performance and even achieves certain functional expansion. This Review introduces the classification of MOFs and MOF-based composites and the latest progress of their application in PS-AOP systems. The relevant activation/degradation mechanisms are summarized and discussed. Moreover, the importance of catalyst-related interfacial interaction for developing and optimizing advanced oxidation systems is emphasized. Then, the interference behavior of environmental parameters on the interfacial reaction is analyzed. Specifically, the initial solution pH and coexisting inorganic anions may hinder the interfacial reaction process via the consumption of reactive oxygen species, affecting the activation/degradation process. This Review aims to explore and summarize the interfacial mechanism of MOF-based catalysts in the activation of PS. Hopefully, it will inspire researchers to develop new AOP strategies with more application prospects.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based materials have been of great public interest in persulfate (PS)-based catalytic oxidation for wastewater purification, because of their excellent performance and selectiveness in organic contaminants (OCs) removal in complex water environments. The formation, fountainhead and reaction mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROSs) in PS-based catalytic oxidation are crucial for understanding the principles of PS activation and the degradation mechanism of OCs. In the paper, we presented the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of MOFs-based materials for PS activation, including the relationship of structure and removal efficiency, active sites and ROSs as well as OCs. In various MOFs-based materials, there are many factors will affect their performances. We discussed how various surface modification projects affected the characteristics of MOFs-based materials used in PS activation. Moreover, we revealed the process of ROSs generation by active sites and the oxidation of OCs by ROSs from the micro level. At the end of this review, we putted forward an outlook on the development trends and faced challenges of MOFs for PS-based catalytic oxidation. Generally, this review aims to clarify the formation mechanisms of ROSs via the active sites on the MOFs and the reaction mechanism between ROSs and OCs, which is helpful for reader to better understand the QSAR in various MOFs/PS systems.

Abstract
An open new perspective has been established toward synthesizing eco-friendly CSA@g-C3 N4 employing surface engineering. The carbon nitride modified through camphorsulfonic acid was designed and developed in a category of the new generation of photocatalysts for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and thioanisole in the existence of a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES). In comparison with pure g-C3 N4 , not only does CSA@g-C3 N4 exhibit an extraordinarily higher ability for harvesting visible light stemming from declining the recombination rate of electrons/holes dependent on PL results but it also reveals notable photocatalytic oxidation capability in the transformation of alcohols as well as thiols into relevant compounds. In addition, non-metal compound (CSA) incorporation would result in considerably diminishing the energy band gap value from 2.8 to 2.28 eV to escalate the visible-light absorption of g-C3 N4 . While the conventional consensus implies that inherent properties of photocatalysts bring on high photoactivity, this study indicates that deploying choline chloride-urea deep eutectic solvent as an external factor plays the role of photoactivity accelerator. Furthermore, readily recycling and reusability can be achieved for the photocatalytic setup of CSA@g-C3 N4 ascribed to its heterogeneous nature with no drop in the photoactivity.

Abstract
Catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation are appealing in the purification of organic wastewater. Singlet oxygen (1O2) is widely recognized as a crucial reactive species for degrading organic contaminants in catalysts/PMS systems due to its adamant resistance to inorganic anions, high selectivity, and broad pH applicability. With the rapid growth of studies on 1O2 in catalysts/PMS systems, it becomes necessary to provide a comprehensive review of its current state. This review highlights recent advancements concerning 1O2 in catalysts/PMS systems, with a primary focus on generation pathways and identification methods. The generation pathways of 1O2 are summarized based on whether (distinguished by the geometric structures of metal species) or not (distinguished by the active sites) the metal element is included in the catalysts. Furthermore, this review thoroughly discusses the influence of metal valence states and metal species with different geometric structures on 1O2 generation. Various potential strategies are explored to regulate the generation of 1O2 from the perspective of catalyst design. Identification methods of 1O2 primarily include electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), quenching experiments, reaction in D2O solution, and chemical probe tests in catalysts/PMS systems. The principles and applications of these methods are presented comprehensively along with their applicability, possible disagreements, and corresponding solutions. Besides, an identifying procedure on the combination of main identification methods is provided to evaluate the role of 1O2 in catalysts/PMS systems. Lastly, several perspectives for further studies are proposed to facilitate developments of 1O2 in catalysts/PMS systems.

Abstract
With the promotion of nanochemistry research, large numbers of nanomaterials have been applied in vivo to produce desirable cytotoxic substances in response to endogenous or exogenous stimuli for achieving disease-specific therapy. However, the performance of nanomaterials is a critical issue that is difficult to improve and optimize under biological conditions. Defect-engineered nanoparticles have become the most researched hot materials in biomedical applications recently due to their excellent physicochemical properties, such as optical properties and redox reaction capabilities. Importantly, the properties of nanomaterials can be easily adjusted by regulating the type and concentration of defects in the nanoparticles without requiring other complex designs. Therefore, this tutorial review focuses on biomedical defect engineering and briefly discusses defect classification, introduction strategies, and characterization techniques. Several representative defective nanomaterials are especially discussed in order to reveal the relationship between defects and properties. A series of disease treatment strategies based on defective engineered nanomaterials are summarized. By summarizing the design and application of defective engineered nanomaterials, a simple but effective methodology is provided for researchers to design and improve the therapeutic effects of nanomaterial-based therapeutic platforms from a materials science perspective.

Abstract
In this study, Se@NC-x decorated with Se was successfully prepared via two-step calcination with zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) as a precursor. Mechanistic studies show that PMS would be adsorbed onto the surface of Se@NC-900 to form an active complex (Se@NC-900/PMS*), and the active Se@NC-900/PMS* could oxidize phenol by the rapid decomposition of PMS. Specifically, electrons are extracted by Se@NC-900/PMS* and then transferred to the surface of Se@NC-900, which can trigger the degradation of phenol. Notably, it is found that the local charge redistribution caused by the doping of Se can activate the catalytic potential of the intrinsically inert carbon skeleton through density flooding theory (DFT) calculations. The XLogP, ΔE, VIP, and ELUMO (Se@NC/PMS)-HOMO (pollutants) and degradation rate constants of different micropollutants were correlated well linearly. This indicates that the Se@NC-900/PMS system has a great selectivity for the degradation of pollutants. Overall, these findings not only illustrate the role of Se in tuning the electronic structure of Se@NC-x to enhance the activation of PMS, but also bridge the gap in our knowledge about the physicochemical properties and degradation performance of Se@NC catalysts.

Abstract
At present, numerous heterogeneous catalysts have been synthesized to activate persulfate (PS) and produce various reactive species for antibiotic degradation from water. However, the systematic summary of the correlation among catalyst active sites, PS activation pathway and pollutant degradation has not been reported. This review summarized the effect of metal-based, carbon-based and metal-carbon composite catalysts on the degradation of antibiotics by activating PS. Metal and non-metal sites are conducive to inducing different oxidation pathways (SO4•-, •OH radical oxidation and 1O2 oxidation, mediated electron transfer, surface-bound reactive complexes and high-valent metal oxidation). SO4•- and •OH are easy to attack CH, S-N, CN bonds, CC double bonds and amino groups in antibiotics. 1O2 is more selective to the structure of the aniline ring and amino group, and also to attacking CS, CN and CH bonds. Surface-bound active species can cleave CC, SN, CS and CN bonds. Other non-radical pathways may also induce different antibiotic degradation routes due to differences in oxidation potential and electronic properties. This critical review clarified the functions of active sites in producing different reactive species for selective oxidation of antibiotics via featured pathways. The outcomes will provide valuable guidance of oriented-regulation of active sites in heterogeneous catalysts to produce on-demand reactive species toward high-efficiency removing antibiotics from water.

Abstract
Developing earth-abundant and highly effective electrocatalysts for electrocatalytic water splitting is a prerequisite for the upcoming hydrogen energy society. Recently, manganese-based materials have been one of the most promising candidates to replace noble metal catalysts due to their natural abundance, low cost, adjustable electronic properties, and excellent chemical stability. Although some achievements have been made in the past decades, their performance is still far lower than that of Pt. Therefore, further research is needed to improve the performance of manganese-based catalytic materials. In this review, we summarize the research progress on the application of manganese-based materials as catalysts for electrolytic water splitting. We first introduce the mechanism of electrocatalytic water decomposition using a manganese-based electrocatalyst. We then thoroughly discuss the optimization strategy used to enhance the catalytic activity of manganese-based electrocatalysts, including doping and defect engineering, interface engineering, and phase engineering. Finally, we present several future design opportunities for highly efficient manganese-based electrocatalysts.
