However, the agglomeration of catalyst particles and metal ion leaching hinder their practical applications for pollutant decomposition. In this study, a Co3O4-carbonized polyaniline composite (Co3O4/CPANI) was implemented for PMS activation. The Co3O4/CPANI + PMS system exhibited high catalytic performance toward tetracycline (TC) degradation (degradation efficiency of 92.11%, initial TC level of 20 mg/L). Moreover, the practical application potential of Co3O4/CPANI + PMS system was well verified with three antibiotics (i.e., TC, doxycycline (DOX), and ciprofloxacin (CIP)) at highest actual aquatic environmental levels (1.0 and 0.5 mg/L). In the established Co3O4/CPANI + PMS system, both radicals (•O2−, •OH and SO4•-) and non-radical (1O2) contributed to TC degradation, and 1O2 was the dominant reactive oxygen species (ROS). CO groups, oxygen vacancies (OVS), redox pairs of Co2+/Co3+ species, and graphitic N all served as active sites in the PMS activation process, especially, OVS were crucial for the generation of 1O2. This study provides an efficient method for the synthesis of metal-based nanocatalysts with low nanoparticle aggregation and metal leaching which could act as a sustainable PMS activator for the remediation of TC-polluted water environment.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
