Interfacial reactions drive all elemental cycling on Earth and play pivotal roles in human
activities such as agriculture, water purification, energy production and storage …

Abstract Singlet oxygen (1 O 2) exhibits excellent activity for degradation of refractory
pollutants and strong resistance in a wide pH range and harsh environment. The efficient …

Every year, large quantities of plastics are produced and used for diverse applications,
growing concerns about the waste management of plastics and their release into the …

Algal extracellular organic matter (EOM), a major fraction of the dissolved organic matter
found in eutrophic plateau lakes, can act as a photosensitizer to drive the abiotic oxidation of …

Manganese (Mn) oxides are extensively used to oxidize As (III) present in ground, drinking,
and waste waters to the less toxic and more easily removable As (V). The common presence …

The oxidative dissolution of As from arsenopyrite, one important arsenic mineral in reducing
conditions, poses an environmental hazard to natural aquatic systems. The dissolution of …

Abstract Permanganate (Mn (VII)) is a widely used oxidant in water treatment, which can
oxidize trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) and Mn (II). Interestingly, this study found that …

Photosensitizer-mediated abiotic oxidation of Mn (II) can yield soluble reactive Mn (III) and
solid Mn oxides. In eutrophic water systems, the ubiquitous algal extracellular organic matter …

Natural manganese (Mn) oxide coatings, resulting from the heterogeneous nucleation on
foreign substances, have garnered interest based on their importance in the reaction with …

The oxidation of dissolved Mn 2+(aq) plays a critical role in driving manganese cycles and
regulating the fate of essential elements and contaminants in environmental systems. Based …
