PG - 133069 LID - S0045-6535(21)03541-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.133069 [doi] AB - The core-shell Fe(2)O(3)@CoFe(2)O(4) hybrids microspheres with abundant oxygen vacancies were synthesized through in-situ ion exchange-calcination method and employed to induce peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to eliminate organic pollutants. The superior catalytic activity and stability of Fe(2)O(3)@CoFe(2)O(4) were attributed to the synergistic effects of M(2+)/M(3+) (M denotes Co or Fe) redox cycles. SO(4)(.-), .OH, O(2)(.-) and (1)O(2) were proved to be the main reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved in the phenol degradation process through quenching experiments and EPR measurements, while the surface-bound SO(4)(.-) played a dominant role. Trace metal ions leached during the reaction enhanced the PMS activation, and the oxygen vacancies electron transfer process played a critical role in the formation of O(2)(.-)/(1)O(2) and the cycle of M(2+)/M(3+) redox pairs. The formation of ROS and function of (1)O(2) were also revealed from bulk reaction and interface reaction. This study highlighted the simultaneous evolution of PMS reduction and oxidation to generate ROS, which provided an insight into the efficient catalytic degradation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
