CoN1O2 Single-Atom Catalyst for Efficient Peroxymonosulfate Activation and Selective Cobalt(IV)=O Generation
ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE-INTERNATIONAL EDITION(2023)
摘要
High-valent metal-oxo (HVMO) species are powerful non-radical reactive species that enhance advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) due to their long half-lives and high selectivity towards recalcitrant water pollutants with electron-donating groups. However, high-valent cobalt-oxo (Co-IV=O) generation is challenging in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based AOPs because the high 3d-orbital occupancy of cobalt would disfavor its binding with a terminal oxygen ligand. Herein, we propose a strategy to construct isolated Co sites with unique N1O2 coordination on the Mn3O4 surface. The asymmetric N1O2 configuration is able to accept electrons from the Co 3d-orbital, resulting in significant electronic delocalization at Co sites for promoted PMS adsorption, dissociation and subsequent generation of Co-IV=O species. CoN1O2/Mn3O4 exhibits high intrinsic activity in PMS activation and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation, highly outperforming its counterpart with a CoO3 configuration, carbon-based single-atom catalysts with CoN4 configuration, and commercial cobalt oxides. Co-IV=O species effectively oxidize the target contaminants via oxygen atom transfer to produce low-toxicity intermediates. These findings could advance the mechanistic understanding of PMS activation at the molecular level and guide the rational design of efficient environmental catalysts.
