The electron transfer process (ETP) is able to avoid the redox cycling of catalysts by capturing electrons from contaminants directly. However, the ETP usually leads to the formation of oligomers and the reduction of oxidants to anions. Herein, the charge-confined Fe single-atom catalyst (Fe/SCN) wi...
