“…Several MgO nanocrystals with different crystal facets of (111), ( 110), (100) and ( 200) have been synthesized and applied to investigate their reactivity in the catalytic ozonation of Escherichia coli. 64 Their catalytic capabilities follow the order of MgO(111)4MgO(200)4MgO(110)4MgO(100), indicating that the crystal facets play a crucial role in catalytic activity. This is also evidenced by scavenger experiments in which OH detected in the heterogeneous catalytic ozonation was the main ROS in the MgO(111)/O 3 system, while more direct ozonation and a portion of O 2 À can be observed in other catalytic ozonation processes.…”
