We have discovered how SO4•- radicals are evolved, while being supported on mono-metallic or bi-metallic oxides used to dissect H2O2. This leads to the evolution of •OH acting as a radicalizer of supported SO42- functionality, resulting in the creation of supported SO4•- analogue via radical interconversion of •OH↔SO4•- for oxidative degradation of aqueous pollutants. This presentation highlights novel synthetic means for NO3- functionalities to be anchored on metal oxides and undergo radical interconversion of •OH↔NO3•. While using phenol as a model compound of aqueous contaminants, kinetic assessments of the catalysts serve to present the proof on the feasibility of •OH↔NO3• in tandem with DFT calculations. |
