Abstrakt: Atomically dispersed metal and nitrogen co-doped carbon catalysts (M-N-C) have been attracting tremendous attentions thanks to their unique MN x active sites and fantastic catalytic activities in advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) for water remediation. However, precisely tailoring the microenvironment of active sites at atomic level is still an intricate challenge so far, and understanding of the non-radical mechanisms in persulfate activation exists many uncertainties. In this review, latest developments on the microenvironment modulation strategies of atomically dispersed M-N-C catalysts including regulation of central metal atoms, regulation of coordination numbers, regulation of coordination heteroatoms, and synergy between single-atom catalysts (SACs) with metal species are systematically highlighted and discussed. Afterwards, progress and underlying limitations about the typical non-radical pathways from production of singlet oxygen, electron transfer mechanism to generation of high-valent metal species are well demonstrated to inspire intrinsic insights about the mechanisms of M-N-C/persulfate systems. Lastly, perspectives for the remaining challenges and opportunities about the further development of carbon-based SACs in environment remediation are also pointed out. It is believed that this review will be much valuable for the further design of active sites in M-N-C/persulfate catalytic systems and promote the wide application of SACs in various fields.
