Multifunctional roles of MoS2 in persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes for eliminating aqueous organic pollutants: A review

A self-synthesised non-homogeneous MoS2/Fe–Co–N–BC composite catalyst as an activator for peroxomonosulfate activation for efficient degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid

“…15 Some studies have shown that after MoS 2 and Fe–Co doping, there will be synergistic interaction between them, and the MoS 2 crystal surface structure will promote the rapid transfer of electrons, and metal ion regeneration. 15,16 In this study, MoS 2 was able to effectively reduce Fe 3+ and Co 3+ , which led to a dominant role of Fe 2+ and Co 2+ with stronger activation ability in the activation process of PMS.…”

“…In addition, Fe 2+ can react with PMS to form Fe IV , which contributes to the degradation of PFOA. 14,16 Meanwhile, the formed Mo 4+ sites can also activate PMS for pollutant degradation, and the S-deficient sites contribute to the adsorption of PMS molecules. We combined the positive properties of Fe–Co–N–BC and MoS 2 so as to expand the application of MoS 2 , which sped up the electron transfer process and enhanced PMS activation, thus improving the pollutant removal efficiency.…”

Regulating the type of nitrogen to improve the performance of Co–N/C with a confinement effect in peroxymonosulfate activation for the effective degradation of organic pollutants

“…In recent years, persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs) have attracted great research interest in the area of wastewater treatment because of their merits of reliability, low-cost and high-efficiency. 1–3 With the rapid development of micro- and nanotechnology, 4 functional-material-mediated activation of persulfate has shown great application potential in practical engineering, and is thus regarded as one of the most promising wastewater treatment techniques. 5–7…”

MoS2@MWCNTs with Rich Vacancy Defects for Effective Piezocatalytic Degradation of Norfloxacin via Innergenerated-H2O2: Enhanced Nonradical Pathway and Synergistic Mechanism with Radical Pathway

“…Many efforts have been directed toward studies on piezocatalysis, such as piezoelectric materials can be divided into chalcogenides, perovskites, bismuth-based piezoelectric materials, and others. In particular, molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) has been widely investigated owing to acknowledged piezoelectric properties as well as high activity, low cost, elemental abundance, and good mechanical and chemical stability. , MoS 2 exhibits piezoelectric effects due to its noncentrosymmetric structure and can be polarized under low mechanical forces. However, the actual piezoelectric coefficient of MoS 2 is unsatisfactory while the utilization rate of mechanical energy is less than 30% .…”
