Cover Story: Visible-light-assisted photo-Fenton catalysis presents a promising and sustainable method for advanced water treatment, although its efficiency depends on surface chemistry and charge-carrier dynamics. This study shows how silica and γ-alumina supports distinctly affect the activity of Cu-Fe bimetallic catalysts under near-neutral conditions. Alumina enables superior metal dispersion and efficient hydroxyl radical generation, while iron plays a dual role: at low loading, it enhances Cu-mediated charge transfer and Fe3+/Fe2+ redox cycling; at higher loading, it increases electron–hole recombination and reduces photo-Fenton performance. By correlating spectroscopic data with hydroxyl radical formation, this work offers mechanistic insight and design guidelines for optimising visible-light-driven heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalysts. View this paper
