Abstract
With the evolution of human living standards and changing needs,the types of pollutants released into surface water due to human activities have increased.Most of these pollutants are chemically persistent,difficult to remove and tend to accumulate in living organisms,posing threats to ecosystems and human health.Fenton-like technology,a widely used advanced oxidation method,has gained much attention owing to its exceptional oxidation capabilities.Typical Fenton-like technologies include hydrogen peroxide-based,persulfate-based,photo-Fenton and electric Fenton systems.By activating oxidants,such as peroxymonosulfate(PMS)and H2O2,to generate active species via oxidation,the process decomposes pollutants within the solution.However,the multi-phase Fenton technology developed in recent years faces challenges such as metal ion leakage,low electron transfer rates and easy inactivation of active site.Therefore,it is vital to identify suitable modification methods to enhance the Fenton-like characteristics of the catalyst.Material vacancies are common structural defects that effectively regulate the structure and catalytic performance of catalysts.During Fenton-like reactions,these vacancies influence the overall charge distribution of the material.Electrons present in the vacancy can participate in the redox reaction,effectively addressing issues related to electron transfer and active site inactivation.Moreover,vacancies enhance the adsorption energy of reactants on the catalyst surface,reducing the reaction energy barrier and facilitating the activation of oxidants and the degradation of pollutants.In recent years,researchers have investigated the creation of diverse vacancy defects and their interaction mechanisms with Fenton reaction oxidants such as persulfate(PS)and H2O2.However,the role of material vacancies in Fenton-like reactions remains under-reviewed.In this study,we offer a comprehensive review of vacancy types,construction methods,characterisation techniques and mechanisms affecting Fenton-like technology.Common methods for fabricating vacancies include heat treatment,doping strategies,intercalation stripping and surface chemical etching.The suitability of construction techniques varies with the material structure;for instance,laminated materials are best suited for the intercalation-peeling method.In addition,we highlight the existing vacancy characterisation methods and discuss their respective advantages,disadvantages and applicability.We also summarise the different mechanisms by which material vacancies impact the material itself,oxidant and contaminant.Such vacancies can modify the structure of the catalyst,such as through the controlled construction of active sites and efficient separation of charges.They can also alter the adsorption energy of the oxidant on the catalyst surface,the bond length of the oxidant's O-O bond and the activation path of the oxidant.Furthermore,vacancies affect electron transfer between the catalyst and reactants,generating double reaction centres and influencing the Fenton-like reaction process.In addition,we review the use of vacancy constructs in Fenton-like technology to remove various contaminants,such as antibiotics and endocrine disruptors,and for bacterial inactivation.Finally,we discuss potential advancements in vacancy engineering within Fenton-like technology.This review offers valuable insights into pollutant elimination,oxidant activation mechanisms in Fenton-like technology and the standard synthesis of vacancies.
