Surface Hydroxyls as Proton Transit Stations Enable Hydroxyl‐Density‐Mediated Switching via Proton‐Coupled Electron Transfer for High‐Valent Cobalt‐Oxo Species Evolution

The selective generation of high‐valent cobalt‐oxo species (Co(IV) = O) in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)‐based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is a long‐sought goal for targeted degradation of electron‐rich pollutants such as monoethanolamine (MEA). However, it is kinetically crippled by the high energy barrier of O─H bo...
