Abstract
, endowing the hybrid with robust stability. Herein, we confirm that spin-state modulation can enhance the Cu-Co synergistic effect and reveal a universal strategy to optimize intermediate adsorption/conversion through the spin-state, opening up a new avenue for deep purification of water pollutants based on spin optimization and providing general principles for the rational design of catalytic materials.
