With the inducement of electrostatic force based on internal electric field, two active areas (namely electron-rich region and electron-deficient region) were formed at Fe₂O₃/Co₃O₄ composite. The electron-deficient active area (namely Co₃O₄ component) can oxidize peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to produce SO₅^•-, further turning into ¹O₂.
