Early View · Published online 3 September 2026
This inside back cover highlights how proton-affinitive fluorinated Fe–N–C interfaces use phenolic pollutants as in situ proton–electron donors, creating a localized proton-enriched microenvironment that activates peroxymonosulfate and enables efficient Fenton-like oxidation under alkaline conditions.
