摘要

Perchlorate (ClO4) contamination in water poses global health risks, yet its efficient reduction to harmless Cl under mild conditions remains challenging. Here, we report a donor−acceptor catalytic system comprising defective MoS2 on N-doped carbon (MoS2−NC) coupled with zerovalent iron (Fe0), which enables rapid ClO4 reduction at near-neutral pH (rate constant, 2.36 h−1), yielding Cl as the sole product. In the MoS2−NC/Fe0 system, Fe0 acts as the electron donor, while undercoordinated Mo atoms in defective MoS2 serve as the active sites, and N-doped carbon mediates electron transfer and optimizes the electronic environment for ClO4 reduction. The reduction proceeds via oxygen atom transfer, involving Cl−O bond cleavage, O binding to Mo sites, and hydrodeoxygenation of the Mo-bound O atoms. Our observations offer a practical strategy for ClO4 reduction without harsh conditions or noble metals and underscore the promise of donor−acceptor-based, defect-engineered catalysts for reductive transformation of challenging oxyanions.
