The MoO₂@nitrogen doped carbon composite (MoO₂@CN) was designed via one-step calcination from dopamine, ammonium molybdate, and ammonium bicarbonate. Besides, MoO₂@CN was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, etc. The MoO₂@CN/PMS system could reach 99.2% degradation rate for carbamazepine (CBZ) in 12 min under pH of 6.5 and temperature at 25 ℃. Moreover, the apparent rate constant (k_obs) of MoO₂@CN was calculated to be 0.393 min^-1, about 24.0 times higher than that of the commercial MoO₂ (0.016 4 min^-1), which is attributed that MoO₂@CN possessed better conductivity and larger specific surface area. MoO₂@CN was capable to degrade CBZ effectively in the pH range of 2.5-10.5, and also exhibited effective degradation performance for most dyes, phenolic compounds, antibiotics, and other pollutants. In addition, the total organic carbon (TOC) degradation rate of CBZ was as high as 74.0% within 60 min in the MoO₂@CN/PMS system. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and quenching tests were applied to verify that SO₄^·- and ·OH played a major role in the MoO₂@CN/PMS system. Interestingly, the degradation performance of CBZ was significantly enhanced with high k_obs value of 1.25 min^-1 when MoO₂@CN was introduced into the Fe²⁺/PMS system, which was about 15.7 times proceeding that of the Fe²⁺/PMS system (0.079 7 min^-1). The phenomenon is mainly ascribed that MoO₂@CN significantly accelerates the transition from Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺, resulting in more ·OH production.
