Here, we constructed abundant oxygen vacancies (OVs) into redox-active CoO by incorporating redox-inert Mg species (MgCoO), achieving ultrafast degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) via PAA activation. The MgCoO/PAA system successfully degraded SMX within 3 min, with a removal rate 154.8 times higher than the CoO/PAA system, surpassing even previously reported single-atom catalysts. The primary active species identified was the acetylperoxyl radical (CHC(O)OO•), with Co-oxo acting as a secondary active species that produced O-labeled sulfone compounds. We proposed a novel mechanism involving redox-inert Mg species that simultaneously strengthened PAA adsorption and activation. The enriched surface hydroxyl groups after Mg incorporation elevated the affinity for PAA binding.

Herein, we report that tailoring O adsorption on non-metallic active sites can optimize ORR selectivity. This concept is demonstrated on three carbon nitrides with different atomic configurations: polymeric carbon nitride (PCN), lithium-poly triazine imide (Li-PTI), and sodium-poly heptazine imide (Na-PHI). Na-PHI emerges as a strong candidate for HO production due to the end-on adsorption mode and suitable adsorption strength with O. Synthesized Na-PHI, PCN, and Li-PTI are characterized, with Na-PHI showing superior light absorption, charge carrier separation, and remarkable selectivity (92 %) for two-electron ORR. Consequently, Na-PHI achieves a high HO generation rate of 3.48 mmol g h, surpassing Li-PTI and PCN by 9.2 and 33 times, respectively.

The CN-K/Na exhibited an apparent quantum yield of 26.2 % in HO photosynthesis at 400 nm (isopropanol as proton donor), and it was better at extracting proton from pharmaceutical-laden wastewater to produce HO than pristine carbon nitride. These superior performances are attributed to the benefits directly or indirectly caused by the co-doping: i) Na optimizes in-plane charge transfer, ii) K builds channel for interplane charge transfer, iii) cyano group as Lewis acid site adsorbs and activates oxygen, iv) amino group as Lewis base site extracts and releases protons, v) increased visible-light absorption.

BTA-COF-Cu has distinct kagome lattices and abundant exposed-atom Cu sites, which can induce CO to undergo two C-C couplings into CH products under visible light illumination. According to experimental and theoretical analyses, the outstanding performance of BTA-COF-Cu can be attributed to the ideal synergistic contribution of the Kagome lattices and the atomic Cu active sites, which promote CO adsorption/activation, facilitate photoexcited charge carrier dynamics, and induce secondary coupling of key intermediates.
