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 OH and OO bonds as well as efficient electron transfer. However, the high dissociation energy of OH 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 OH bond is thermodynamically favored via a promoted coupled…
