What is it about?
HA-NCP synergistically accelerates NPX degradation in Cu⁰/PMS system. Cu(I) concentrations increased in the presence of reductants and complexants. NCP increased the reduction rate of Cu(II) to Cu(I) by adding hydroxylamine. [Cu(III)-(NCP)2]3+ identified as the dominant reactive species in the system.

Why is it important?
This work provides a mechanistically grounded “reduction and complexation” strategy to overcome Cu-based persulfate activation bottlenecks and achieve rapid, pH- resilient degradation of NPX.
