| description | Transition metal sulfides have garnered increasing attention for their role in persulfate activation, a crucial process in environmental remediation. However, the function of metal sulfides without reversible valence changes, such as ZnS, remains largely unexplored in this context. Here we report ZnS-embedded porous carbon (ZnS-C), synthesized through the pyrolysis of Zn-MOF-74 and dibenzyl disulfide. ZnS-C demonstrates remarkable activity in activating peroxydisulfate (PDS) across a wide pH range, enabling the efficient mineralization removal of bisphenol A (BPA). Through electrochemical investigation and theoretical simulations of charge density distributions, we unveil that the electron transfer from BPA to PDS mediated by the ZnS-C catalyst governs the reaction. This study, both in theory and experiment, demonstrates metal sulfide as electron pump that enhances electron transfer efficiency in PDS activation. These findings redefine the role of metal sulfide catalysts, shedding new light on their potential for regulating reaction pathways in PDS activation processes. |
