    Abstract
  • Peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based Fenton-like technologies have been increasingly employed in the upgrading of biomass, but they are commonly limited by the trade-off between conversion and selectivity due to the short lifetime of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and uncontrollable oxidation pathways. Herein, we show that single-atom Co supported on carbon nitride enables the high-valent-oxo cobalt species (Co(IV)=O) mediated oxidation of glucose into value-added products in acetonitrile. This photocatalytic Fenton-like system achieved an overall selectivity of gluconic acid, glucaric acid, arabinose, and formic acid up to 90.3% at glucose conversion of 69.6%, outperforming most of previously reported catalytic systems. The small amount (0.72 wt%) of single-atom Co could not only elevate the optical absorption and the efficiency of photo-generated carriers separation but also induce the efficient generation of Co(IV)=O with reduced ROS to enable efficient and selective oxidation. These findings prove the great promise of high-valent metal-oxo species in biomass conversions.
