Single-atom catalysts revolutionize water purification in advanced oxidation process - EurekAlert


Single-atom catalysts revolutionize water purification: efficient and selective generation of reactive oxygen species for global water challenges. Researchers detail how downsizing active sites to the atomic scale in single-atom catalysts enhances the efficiency and selectivity of generation of reactive oxygen species through peroxymonosulfate-based advanced oxidation. Their Review Article elucidates the underlying mechanism and identifies critical structure-activity/selectivity relationships, providing valuable insights to the rational design of catalysts for environmental remediation.
