The　utilization　of　photo-assisted　persulfate　activation　for　the　removal　of　organic　contaminants　in　water　has　garnered　significant　research　interest　in　recent　times.　However,　there　remains　a　lack　of　clarity　regarding　specific　contributions　of　light　irradiation　and　catalyst　structure　in　this　process.　Herein,　a　photo-assisted　peroxymonosulfate　(PMS)　activation　system　is　designed　for　the　highly　efficient　degradation　of　organic　contaminants　on　oxygen　vacancy-enriched　nolanites　(Vo-FVO).　Results　suggest　that　the　degradation　of　bisphenol　A　(BPA)　in　this　system　is　a　nonradical-dominated　process　via　an　electron　transfer　regime,　in　which　VO　improves　the　local　electron　density　and　thus　facilitates　the　electron　shuttling　between　BPA　and　PMS.　During　BPA　degradation,　PMS　adsorbed　at　the　surface　of　FVO-180　withdraws　electrons　near　VO　and　forms　FVO-PMS*　complexes.　Upon　light　irradiation,　photoelectrons　effectively　restore　the　electron　density　around　VO,　thereby　enabling　a　sustainable　electron　transfer　for　the　highly　efficient　degradation　of　BPA.　Overall,　this　work　provides　new　insights　into　the　mechanism　of　persulfate　activation　based　on　defects　engineering　in　nolanite　minerals.
