Ultrafine ZnCo₂O₄ QD-incorporated carbon nitride mediated peroxymonosulfate activation for norfloxacin oxidation: performance, mechanisms and pathways.

ABSTRACT: Recently, peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are being actively investigated as a potential technology for water decontamination and many efforts have been made to improve the activation efficiency of PMS. Herein, a 0D metal oxide quantum dot (QD)-2D ultrathin g-C₃N₄ nanosheet (ZnCo₂O₄/g-C₃N₄) hybrid was facilely fabricated through a one-pot hydrothermal process and used as an efficient PMS activator. Benefiting from the restricted growth effect of the g-C₃N₄ support, ultrafine ZnCo₂O₄ QDs (∼3-5 nm) are uniformly and stably anchored onto the surface. The ultrafine ZnCo₂O₄ possesses high specific surface areas and shortened mass/e
