TL;DR: In this paper, a Fenton-like catalyst based on isolated single Mn atom anchored on N-doped porous carbon was proposed for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) degradation, showing an outstanding turnover frequency of greater than 5.69 min−1 in BPA degradation.
Abstract: Fenton-like technology is a green pathway for removing recalcitrant organic pollutants from the environment. However, low catalytic efficiency and poor stability hinder the development of Fenton-like technology as a result of the lack of effective catalysts. Here, we report a highly efficient and stable Fenton-like catalyst based on isolated single Mn atom anchored on N-doped porous carbon. The catalyst exhibits high activity and stability in the heterogeneous activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for organic pollutant degradation, showing an outstanding turnover frequency of greater than 5.69 min−1 in bisphenol A (BPA) degradation. A variety of analytical techniques as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the unique N-coordinated single Mn atom (MnN4) serves as a highly catalytically active site for PMS activation, while the adjacent pyrrolic N site acts as an adsorption site for the target organic molecules. The ultra-high catalytic activity of single Mn atom catalyst can be attributed to its fantastic dual reaction sites, which remarkably shorten the migration distance from the radical to the adsorbed organic molecules.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of TiO2 photocatalysis for water and waste treatment, treating contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), pesticides, endocrine disrupters (EDs) and bacteria using both UV and visible light irradiations is discussed.
Abstract: Advanced Oxidation technologies (AOTs) are gaining attention as an effective waste water treatment methodology capable of degrading diverse spectrum of recalcitrant organic contaminants and microbes. Undoubtedly, photocatalysis is a promising AOT to alleviate the problem of water pollution. Despite recent research into other photocatalysts (e.g. ZnO, ZnS, Semiconductor-Graphene composites, perovskites, MoS2, WO3 and Fe2O3), titanium dioxide (TiO2) remains the most popular photocatalyst due to its low cost, nontoxicity and high oxidising ability. Moreover, titania photocatalysts can easily be immobilized on various surfaces and be scaled up for large scale water treatment. The current review aims to highlight recent advancements in photocatalytic AOTs with main emphasis on TiO2 photocatalysis. This review also discusses the use of TiO2 photocatalysis for water and waste treatment, treating contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), pesticides, endocrine disrupters (EDs) and bacteria using both UV and visible light irradiations. It was concluded that with efficient photoreactor configuration and further studies on the photocatalyst regeneration, TiO2 photocatalysis is a viable option for the reclamation of agricultural/irrigational waste water. Novel doped photocatalysts such as ZnS-CuS-CdS, carbon spheres/CdS, g-C3N4-Au-CdS, ZnS-WS2-CdS, C3N4-CdS and Pd-Cr2O3-CdS have also been discussed. Finally, the advances in the actively studied metal organic framework based photocatalysts that are emerging as effective alternate for metal oxide based photocatalysts is also discussed in detail.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the synthetic strategies, characterisation, and computation of carbon-based SACs, and for the first time, showcase their innovative applications in advanced oxidation processes.
Abstract: Emerging single atom catalysts (SACs), especially carbon-based SACs are appealing materials in environmental catalysis because of their ultrahigh performances, environmental friendliness, structural/chemical robustness, and the maximum utilization of active metal sites. The metal centres, carbon matrixes, and coordination characteristics collectively determine the electronic features of carbon-based SACs, and their behaviours in catalysing peroxide activation and efficiencies in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). However, there is lack of a comprehensive and critical review reporting the successful marriage of carbon-based SACs in AOP-based remediation technologies. It is particularly necessary to systematically compare and reveal the catalytic sites and the associated mechanisms of carbon-based SACs in diverse AOP systems. In this review, we highlight the synthetic strategies, characterisation, and computation of carbon-based SACs, and for the first time, showcase their innovative applications in AOP technologies. We unveil the origins of versatile catalytic oxidation pathways in different AOP systems and the mechanisms of micropollutant degradation over carbon-based SACs, distinguished from the upsized counterparts (metals/oxides and carbon substrates). We also provide directions to the rational design of on-demand SACs for green chemistry and environmental sustainability. Also, we suggest a designated and integrated experimental/theoretical protocol for revealing the structure-catalysis relations of SACs in AOP applications, and propose the prospects for future opportunities and challenges.
