Metal-free carbon materials for persulfate-based advanced oxidation process: Microstructure, property and tailoring

Metal-free carbon materials (MFCMs), as newly emerging efficient catalysts in persulfate-based advanced oxidation process (PS-AOP), have exhibited great engineering-application potential for environmental remediation. Nevertheless, the relationships between discrepant catalytic properties and structural/surface characteristics of MFCMs are still ambiguous. Herein, on the basis of the recent advances in experimental and theoretical researches, we...
