Developing efficacious catalysts with superior Cl resistance and polychlorinated byproduct inhibition capability is crucial for realizing the environmentally friendly purification of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs). Activating CVOC molecules and desorbing Cl species by modulating the metal-oxygen property is a promising strategy to fulfill these. Herein, a bifunctional CoRu/AlO catalyst with synergistic Co and Ru interactions (Ru-O-Co species) was rationally fabricated, which possesses abundant surface Co and Ru sites and collaboratively facilitates the activation of lattice oxygen (O) and molecular oxygen (O → O → O), accelerating 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) decomposition the reaction route of enolic species → aldehydes → carboxylate/carbonate.
