Boosting singlet oxygen generation for salinity wastewater treatment through co-activation of oxygen and peroxymonosulfate in photoelectrochemical process by Qianqian Yang, Zhiyuan Feng, Yanbo Zhou, Hongying Zhao, Guohua Zhao

“…The produced intermediate (HSO4O···Fe−Nvs···OO) as a chemical channel accelerates the directional electron transfer from PMS to further reduce O2 to form activated products (SO5•−, O2•−), thereby transforming O2 into 1O2. An optimized 1O2 generation rate of 39.4 μmol L−1s−1 is obtained, which is 15.7–945.0 times higher than that in traditional advanced oxidation processes. …”
