Abstract

Abstract High‐valence metal species generated in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)‐based Fenton‐like processes are promising candidates for selective degradation of contaminants in water, the formation of which necessitates the cleavage of OH and OO bonds as well as efficient electron transfer. However, the high dissociation energy of OH bond makes its cleavage quite challenging, largely hampering the selective generation of reactive oxygen species. Herein, an asymmetrical configuration characterized by a single cobalt atom coordinated with boron and nitrogen (CoB 1 N 3 ) is established to offer a strong local electric field, upon which the cleavage of OH bond is thermodynamically favored via a promoted coupled…
