A strategy based on local spin-state manipulation was achieved through S-modification on single-Fe-atom catalysts (Fe₁NSC). Spectral analyses and theoretical calculations elucidated that a medium-spin reconfiguration of Fe species in Fe₁NSC endowed an increased orbital overlap between Fe 3d and O 2p, reinforcing the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) dissociation kinetics. Consequently, Fe₁NSC delivered excellent performance in PMS conversion and pollutant degradation. The specific activity of PMS activation over Fe₁NSC reached 36.1 × 10^–3 L min^-1 m^-2, 4.2-folds that of Fe₁NC (8.61 × 10^–3 L min^-1 m^-2) and superior to the state-of-the-art catalysts reported to date. Importantly, the atomic spin-state modulation via S-modification can extend to other metals (Mn, Co and Cu) for improved PMS activation with > 3 times higher than those without S-modification. This work provides a universal scheme for electronic configuration regulation and highlights the significance of local environment modulation in designing high-performance catalysts for PMS activation.
