Improving the utilization of active sites in carbon catalysts is significant for various catalytic reactions, but still challenging, mainly due to the lack of strategies for controllable introduction of active dopants. Herein, a novel "Ar plasma etching-NH annealing" strategy is developed to regulate the position of active N sites, while maintaining the same nitrogen species and contents. Theoretical and experimental results reveal that the edge-hosted-N doped carbon nanotubes (E-N-CNT), with only 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Singlet oxygen is crucial for environmental cleanup, but its production is often limited due to rapid self-quenching during Fenton-like reactions.
  • Researchers developed a novel lamellar anthraquinone-based covalent organic framework (DAQ-COF) that improves production efficiency by strategically localizing active sites for better interaction with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible light.
  • This method resulted in an impressive increase in singlet oxygen production, allowing for complete degradation of bisphenol A within 5 minutes using PMS under sunlight, showcasing a new approach for enhancing Fenton-like catalysts.

Carbon-driven persulfate (PDS)-based Fenton-like reactions have been widely viewed as prospective strategies to cope with the water pollution. However, high cost, harsh condition and complex modification processes are usually required to boost the catalytic activities of carbocatalysts. Herein, we proposed an ultrafast, energy-efficient, and convenient approach to convert various low-performance carbon materials into highly efficient catalysts by microwave treatment in just 1 min without any other tedious treatment.
