Abstract

Understanding the chemistry of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposition and hydroxyl radical (•OH) transformation on the surface molecular level is a great challenge for the application of heterogeneous Fenton system in the fields of chemistry, environmental, and life science. We report in this study a conceptual oxygen vacancy associated surface Fenton system without any metal ions leaching, exhibiting unprecedented surface chemistry based on the oxygen vacancy of electron-donor nature for heterolytic H2O2 dissociation. By controlling the delicate surface structure of catalyst, this novel Fenton system allows the facile tuning of •OH existing form for targeted catalytic reactions with controlled reactivity and…
