Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) is extensively used as an oxidant to develop the sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes in the decontamination of organic pollutants and various PMS activation methods have been explored. Visible-light-assisted PMS activation to construct a Fenton-like process has...
