Abstract

Abstract In this work, a facile one-pot pyrolytic strategy was employed to fabricate a nitrogen coordinated Co single-atom catalyst (SA Co-N/C catalyst) by using lignin as carbon sources. The HAADF-STEM images and X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) analysis showed the isolated Co atoms less than 2 A throughout the entire SA Co-N/C architecture. Results showed that the single-atom Co sites served as the main active sites for naproxen (NPX) degradation via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. This was confirmed by the high positive correlation (R2 = 0.9675) between the rate constants and Co amounts in all SA Co-N/C catalysts. In particular, the as-prepared SA Co-N/C catalyst with a very small Co loading (2.45 wt.%) exhibited exceptional high turnover frequency (TOF) value for NPX (4.82 min−1), which is promising for the potential application prospect. Electron transfer was induced by the single-atom Co sites, which was the dominated mechanism for the NPX degradation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
