The replacement of metals in catalytic processes are highly demanded to improve sustainabilityand economic growth. The poor stability and metal leaching are the main drawbacks in metal-based catalyticreactions. This work represented the use of nitrogen and sulfur-dual doped mesoporous carbon material ((N,S)-MPC) as metal free catalyst for persulfate-based advanced oxidation process (AOP). Very low amount of(N, S)-MPC catalyst (wt%) exhibited superior performance for degradation of ۴-nitrophenol at roomtemperature and unadjusted pH.
