Experimental and quantum chemical study on the transformation behavior of bisphenol S by radical-driven persulfate oxidation

Abstract

The discrepancy between the proportion of hydroxyl and sulfate radicals involved in the PS/N-SWCNTs and PS–heat systems led to different distributions and abundance of products.

Understanding the active sites and associated reaction pathways of metal-free carbocatalysts in persulfate activation and pollutant degradation

“…1), such as graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), fullerene, nanodiamonds (NDs), biochar (BC), carbon fiber (CF), ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC), and graphene-like carbon materials. [55][56][57][58] Despite that many kinds of carbon substrates possess unique structures and fascinating properties, 59,60 they are generally inactive as PMS/PDS activation catalysts without proper structure and surface property engineering due to their electroneutrality. Structural engineering of carbon matrix by physicochemical methods is thus essential to impart activity (Fig.…”
