... However, to the best of our knowledge, very little attention has been paid to copper(II) phosphate-based catalysts and their use in AOPs. This metal phosphate exhibits several desirable properties and has been successfully applied in methane oxidation 15 , selective oxidation of benzylic alcohols 16 and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue 17 . However, there is no information on the use of this nanomaterial in Fenton-like and photo-Fenton-like processes aiming at the degradation of antibiotic pollutants. ...

... However, a bare HCHO yield (8.1 ± 0.5 μmol h -1 ) and a large amount of produced CO 2 (80.0 ± 1.6 μmol h -1 ) over Ag NP -ZnO sample are achieved, indicating that the presence of Ag NPs leads to the overoxidation of CH 4 . The HCHO yield obtained from the gas-solid photothermal catalytic oxidation of CH 4 over Ag 1 -ZnO under atmospheric pressure is not only higher than all reported photocatalytic systems (Supplementary Table 14) [11][12][13][14][15]17,18,22,23,25,26 , but also still possesses superiority compare to traditional high-pressure and hightemperature catalytic reaction systems (Supplementary Table 15) [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] . ...
