Article Abstract
Benefiting from high configurational entropy and tunable composition, multiprincipal element alloys (MPEAs) have emerged as promising candidates for heterogeneous catalysis. Only recently have MPEAs been explored for peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based Fenton-like reactions. In the past, it has been known that an external electric field (EEF) can accelerate Fenton-like reactions by transferring free electrons to PMS. Herein, MPEAs supported on carbon nanofibers (MPEA/CNFs) were synthesized to investigate the effects of EEF on their catalytic performance as well as the reaction mechanism. In the presence of EEF, the degradation rate increased 20-fold (k = 270.6 M·min) compared with the nonelectrified system, and metal leaching was significantly reduced (around 10 times), resulting in enhanced stability and excellent recyclability of the MPEA/CNFs catalyst. The improvement was attributed to the generation of hydrogen peroxide (HO) by the CNF substrate in the presence of EEF. Surprisingly, the generated HO was not decomposed into reactive species for pollutant degradation. Computational studies revealed that although the active site in MPEAs remained unchanged, the HO was adsorbed onto the metal element adjacent to the active site, which significantly increased the binding energy between PMS and MPEA by 4.8 times, facilitating electron transfer and enhancing the nonradical pathway. This study offers valuable insights into the application and mechanism of MPEA catalysts in Fenton-like reactions.

Background: Due to the complex structure and variable microenvironment in the progression of bladder cancer, the efficacy of traditional treatment methods such as surgery and chemotherapy is limited. Tumor residual, recurrence and metastasis are still difficult to treat. The integration of diagnosis and treatment based on nanoparticles can offer the potential for precise tumor localization and real-time therapeutic monitoring.

Despite growing interest in single-atom catalysts (SACs) for Fenton-like reactions, zinc (Zn)-based SACs remain unexplored due to the inherent inertness of Zn, whose fully occupied 3d electronic configuration limits redox activity. Here, we overcome this limitation by introducing boron (B) atoms to reconfigure the electronic structure of Zn-N coordination sites, yielding an activated catalyst denoted as Zn-NBC. This electronic modulation transforms inert Zn-N sites into catalytically active centers (Zn-NB ), enabling significantly enhanced Fenton-like activity.

Heterogeneous Fenton-like reactions have broadened the pH adaptation window of traditional homogeneous Fenton during water purification. However, the sharp decrease in their activity under macro-neutral conditions is still a large challenge. More importantly, although it has been realized that the pH value always changes during the heterogeneous Fenton-like process, there are still a few research focuses on the degradation mechanisms in different pH systems, especially the difference between initial neutral and the buffered neutral system.

Fenton-like reagents serve as useful tools to induce oxidative stress in forced degradation studies of surfactants, providing a relevant model due to the possible presence of trace amounts of transition metal ions and peroxides in liquid drug formulations. It is known that catalytic reactivity of transition metal ions heavily depends on the ligands present in the solution and that it differs between buffer systems. Herein, we compare the influence of common buffers and chelating agents on poloxamer188 (P188) degradation by using a fast-gradient reversed phase chromatography with charged aerosol detection (LC-CAD) and automatic sample preparation.
