Efficient activation of molecular oxygen (O₂) is considered a promising technique for the removal of antibiotics. However, how to effectively regulate electrons distribution to promote O₂ activation remains a challenge at present. In this study, phosphorus and sodium co-doped carbon nitride (PNaCN) were designed to rearrange the electrons distribution to activate O₂ for the degradation of tetracycline. The generation of ^•O₂⁻was innovatively observed via in-situ O₂ fitting Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, demonstrating the outstanding O₂ activation ability of PNa5. Density functional theory (DFT) further confirmed that the rational co-doping led to the rearrangement of local electrons, resulting in electron-rich Na sites and electron-deficient P sites. These sites exhibited greater susceptibility to O₂ adsorption and charge transfer. Besides, the degradation rate of tetracycline was increased by 2.44 times using co-doped CN. This study provides a new inspiration for enhancing O₂ activation by inducing electrons rearrangement.
