Intrinsically poor reactivity restricts hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) from heterogeneous Fenton systems. Usually, metal ion doping, noble metal loading, and compounding with other compounds to enhance their catalytic activity are necessary, making them complex, expensive, and difficult to control. Here a surface-electronic-state-modulation-based concept applied to hematite is presented. This concept enables hematite with dual reaction sites as highly reactive and reusable Fenton-like catalysts for efficient catalytic oxidation of recalcitrant organics, via activation of H₂O₂ and without any extra energy input. The rhodamine B degradation rate constants for α-Fe₂O_3-x-330/H₂O₂ systems were 0.834 h^-1, when pH=4, and have a much wider pH working window (pH=2~10) than traditional Fenton systems. Meanwhile, the used catalyst can be easily recovered by magnetic separation. Oxygen vacancy and Fe(Ⅱ) on defective α-Fe₂O_3-x surfaces have been confirmed as the active sites for H₂O₂ activation, while the adjacent vacancy oxygens site adsorbs organic molecules and thus improves the Fenton-like catalytic performance. These findings may not only extend the environment applications of pure transition metal oxide but also stimulate new opportunities for the same as many other transition metal oxides by surface electronic-state modulation.
