 In heterogeneous catalysis, the co-LR-SRTO3 catalyst undergoes structural changes when exposed to paraxamanosulfate, PMS, that enhances the generation of key SO5 intermediates, resulting in improved efficiency and stability for the removal of organic pollutants. The catalytic reaction involves the co-ITO bonds being stretched in different orientations, which increases the number of transferred electrons to PMS and improves the efficiency of the reaction. Additionally, the structural distortions increase the metal-oxygen bond strength, further increasing the efficiency of the reaction.
