Diatomic catalysts for Fenton and Fenton-like reactions: a promising platform for designing/regulating reaction pathways

Abstract

The optimization of the single-atom catalyst (SAC) performance has been the hot spot for years. It is widely acknowledged that the incorporation of adjacent single-atom sites (diatomic catalysts (DACs)) can enable synergistic effects, which can be used in cascade catalysis, dual-function catalysis, and performance regulation of intrinsic active sites. DACs have been widely applied in the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), etc.; however, their application is limited in Fenton or Fenton-like reactions. This perspective summarizes the most advanced achievements in this field, followed by the proposed opportunities in further research, including regulation of the magnetic moment, inter-atomic distance effect, strain engineering, atomic cluster (AC)/nanoparticle (NP) modification, etc. It is demonstrated that this perspective can contribute to the DAC application in Fenton or Fenton-like reactions with innovative design and mechanisms being put forward.
