In this work, we introduced new metal-free catalysts, phosphorus nitride dots (PNDs), into an environmentally friendly H 2 O 2 -SO 3 2- system to generate abundant reactive oxygen species (O2˙ - , ˙OH and SO4˙ - ) with strong intrinsic chemiluminescence (CL). The excellent catalytic ability of PNDs not only improved the degradation efficiency of organic pollutants, but also provided a promising prospect for deeply probing the mechanism of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) by combining with CL.
