Photocatalysis synergistically enhanced Fenton-like process: Photogenerated electron-mediated sustainable dynamic Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox cycle

Key Points

• The Fenton-like process is enhanced through photocatalysis, resulting in a more efficient reaction.
• Results show a dynamic Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox cycle, where photogenerated electrons significantly contribute to efficiency.
• Analysis employs a systematic investigation of photocatalytic mechanisms to reveal improved degradation efficiencies.
• This may enable more efficient and sustainable applications in water treatment and environmental remediation.
