The contamination of water resources by phenolic compounds (PCs) presents a significant environmental hazard, necessitating the development of novel materials and methodologies for effective mitigation. In this study, a metallic copper-doped zeolitic imidazolate framework was pyrolyzed and designated as Cu-NC-20 for the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade phenol (PE). Cu-NC-20 could effectively address the issue of metal agglomeration while simultaneously diminishing copper dissolution during the activation of PMS reactions. The Cu-NC-20 catalyst exhibited a rapid degradation rate for PE across a broad pH range (3–9) and demonstrated high tolerance towards coexisting ions. According to scavenger experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis, singlet oxygen (¹O₂) and high-valent copper-oxo (Cu(Ⅲ)) were the predominant reactive oxygen species, indicating that the system was nonradical-dominated during the degradation process. The quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) between the oxidation rate constants of various substituted phenols and Hammett constants was established. It indicated that the Cu-NC-20/PMS system had the optimal oxidation rate constant with σ⁻ correlation and exhibited a typical electrophilic reaction pattern. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the heterogeneous activation process for the selective removal of phenolic compounds.
