	abstract = {Rationally regulating reaction mechanisms in Fenton-like reactions by tuning the properties of catalysts is of great significance, but still challenging. Herein, we synthesized various active center size-dependent catalysts to realize the switching of reaction mechanisms and pollutant degradation routes in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation systems. The results illustrated that the reaction mechanism transformed from radical oxidation (51.64\%) to nonradical oxidation (89.92\%) with the decrease of active center size from nanoparticle (CoNP-NC) to single atom (CoSA-NC). The evolution of reactive species switched the degradation intermediates and pathway of sulfisoxazole (SIZ). The generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) in CoSA-NC/PMS tends to selectively attack electron-rich site of SIZ, while reaction between radicals and SIZ prefers non-selective oxidation in CoNP-NC/PMS system. Besides, the toxicity tests indicated that the conversion from non-selective to selective oxidation resulted in lower toxicity of effluent after reaction, which can further reduce environmental risks of effluent.},
