Study on catalytic mechanisms of Fe3O4-rGOx in three typical advanced oxidation processes for tetracycline hydrochloride degradation

This study explored the catalytic mechanism and performance impacted by the materials ratio of Fe₃O₄-GO_x composites in three typical advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) of O₃, peroxodisulfate (PDS) and photo-Fenton processes for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) degradation. The ratio of GO in the Fe₃O₄-GO_x composites exhibited different trends of degradation capacity in each AOPs based on different mechanisms. Fe₃O₄-rGO_20wt% exhibited the optimum catalytic performance which enhanced the ozone decomposition efficiency from 33.48% (ozone alone) to 51.83% with the major reactive oxygen species (ROS) of O₂^??. In PDS and photo-Fenton processes, Fe₃O₄-rGO_5wt% had the highest catalytic performance in PDS and H₂O₂ decomposition for SO₄^??, and ^?OH generation, respectively. Compared with using PDS alone, PDS decomposition rate and TCH degradation rate could be increased by 5.97 and 1.73 times under Fe₃O₄-rGO_5wt% catalysis. In the photo-Fenton system, Fe₃O₄-rGO_5wt% with the best catalyst performance in H₂O₂ decomposition, and TCH degradation rate increased by 2.02 times compared with blank group. Meantime, the catalytic mechanisms in those systems of that the ROS produced by conversion between Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ were also analyzed.     

离子刻蚀法制备具有高效催化性能的m-Bi2O4/BiOCl p-n异质结催化剂

光催化技术作为一种绿色的环境修复方法而备受关注,它直接利用太阳光作为能源,可有效地降解有机污染物.铋系化合物具有化学稳定性强、抑制光腐蚀、无毒和来源广泛等优点,被认为是一种环境友好的光催化剂,广泛用于降解染料、苯酚和其他有机污染物.BiOCl具有独特的内部结构,可形成内电场促进电子和空穴的移动,抑制其复合.但是BiOCl本身带隙能过大,只能被紫外光激发,对光的利用率较低,限制了其在环境治理中的应用.近两年来发现,m-Bi2O4带隙能小,可吸收大波长的可见光,催化性能好.为充分发挥m-Bi2O4的优异性质,改善BiOCl的性能,本文将BiOCl与m-Bi2O4复合制得新型催化剂,降低催化剂的带隙能,增强对光的吸收,提高量子效率,促进光生载流子的分离,抑制电子-空穴复合,从而提高催化剂性能,加速降解反应进程.本文通过离子刻蚀法制备具有p-n异质结的m-Bi2O4/BiOCl复合催化剂,通过调节HCl的加入量制得不同比例的催化剂,并考察了其在可见光下催化降解MO(甲基橙)的性能.结果表明,m-Bi2O4/BiOCl复合催化剂在可见光下表现出优异的光催化降解MO和四环素的性能,反应10内min可降解95％的MO,反应150 min内四环素的降解率为85.5％;该复合催化剂对MO和四环素的光降解效率分别是纯BiOCl的52.3和4.9倍.活性自由基捕获实验表明,空穴在光催化降解过程中起最主要的作用,其次是超氧自由基,羟基自由基对降解反应也起到一定的作用.采用XRD,SEM,EDS,TEM,SAED,FT-IR,Raman,XPS,BET,UV-vis和光电流等表征方法分析了催化剂的结构、形貌、化学组成、元素价态、孔结构、带隙能、光学性质和载流子复合效率.结果表明,与BiOCl的斜四方体相比,m-Bi2O4/BiOCl复合催化剂呈现纳米片状结构,氯离子进入晶格的内部,颜色也由BiOCl原来的深褐色变为黄色.m-Bi2O4/BiOCl为介孔结构,比表面积为112.90 m2/g,其吸收波长红移,由紫外光扩展至可见光区域,带隙能也由3.2降低为1.87 eV,能带弯曲形成p-n异质结,提高了电子-空穴的转移效率,抑制其复合;m-Bi2O4/BiOCl的光电流密度高于m-Bi2O4和BiOCl,电子-空穴的分离效率更高,因而其催化性能更优越.     

Enhanced Interfacial Electron Transfer by Asymmetric Cu-Ov-In Sites on In2O3 for Efficient Peroxymonosulfate Activation

Enhancing the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation efficiency to generate more radicals is vital to promote the Fenton-like reaction activity, however, how to promote the PMS adsorption and accelerate the interfacial electron transfer to boost its activation kinetics remains a great challenge. Herein, we prepared Cu-doped defect-rich In₂O₃ (Cu-In₂O₃/O_v) catalysts containing asymmetric Cu−O_v−In sites for PMS activation in water purification. The intrinsic catalytic activity is that the side-on adsorption configuration of the O−O bond (Cu−O−O−In) at the Cu-O_v-In sites significantly stretches the O−O bond length. Meanwhile, the Cu-O_v-In sites increase the electron density near the Fermi energy level, promoting more and faster electron transfer to the O−O bond for generating more SO₄⋅⁻ and ⋅OH. The degradation rate constant of tetracycline achieved by Cu-In₂O₃/O_v is 31.8 times faster than In₂O₃/O_v, and it shows the possibility of membrane reactor for practical wastewater treatment.     

Bromate formation during oxidation of bromide-containing water by the CuO catalyzed peroxymonosulfate process

Bromate formation has been found in the SO₄^??-based oxidation processes, but previous studies primarily focused on the bromate formation in the homogeneous SO₄^??-based oxidation processes. The kinetics and mechanisms of bromate formation are poorly understood in the heterogeneous SO₄^??-based oxidation processes, although which have been widely studied in the eliminations of micropollutants. In this work, we found that the presence of CuO, a common heterogeneous catalyst of peroxymonosulfate (PMS), appreciably enhanced the bromate formation from the oxidation of bromide by PMS. The conversion ratio of bromide to bromate achieved over 85% within 10 min in this process. CuO was demonstrated to play a multiple role in the bromate formation: (1) catalyzed PMS to generate SO₄^??, which then oxidizes bromide to bromate; (2) catalyzed the formed free bromine to disproportionate to bromate; (3) catalyzed the formed free bromine to decomposed back into bromide. In the CuO-PMS-Br system, bromate formation increases with increasing CuO dosages, initial CuO and bromide concentrations, but decreases with increasing bicarbonate concentrations. The presence of NOM (natural organic matter) resulted in a lower formed bromate accompanied with organic bromine formation. Notably, CuO catalyzes PMS to transform more than 70% of initial bromide to bromate even after recycled used for six times. The formation of bromate in the PMS catalysis by CuO system was also confirmed in real water.     

Turning the Inert Element Zinc into an Active Single-Atom Catalyst for Efficient Fenton-Like Chemistry

Amongst various Fenton-like single-atom catalysts (SACs), the zinc (Zn)-related SACs have been barely reported due to the fully occupied 3d¹⁰ configuration of Zn²⁺ being inactive for the Fenton-like reaction. Herein, the inert element Zn is turned into an active single-atom catalyst (SA−Zn−NC) for Fenton-like chemistry by forming an atomic Zn−N₄ coordination structure. The SA−Zn−NC shows admirable Fenton-like activity in organic pollutant remediation, including self-oxidation and catalytic degradation by superoxide radical (O₂⋅⁻) and singlet oxygen (¹O₂). Experimental and theoretical results unveiled that the single-atomic Zn−N₄ site with electron acquisition can transfer electrons donated by electron-rich pollutants and low-concentration PMS toward dissolved oxygen (DO) to actuate DO reduction into O₂⋅⁻ and successive conversion into ¹O₂. This work inspires an exploration of efficient and stable Fenton-like SACs for sustainable and resource-saving environmental applications.     

Structural Modulation on NiCo2S4Nanoarray by N Doping to Enhance 2e-ORR Selectivity for Photothermal AOPs and Zn−O2Batteries**

As a H₂O₂ generator, a 2e⁻ oxygen reduction reaction active electrocatalyst plays an important role in the advanced oxidation process to degrade organic pollutants in sewage. To enhance the tendency of NiCo₂S₄ towards the 2e⁻ reduction reaction, N atoms are doped in its structure and replace S²⁻. The result implies that this weakens the interaction between NiCo₂S₄ and OOH*, suppresses O−O bond breaking and enhances H₂O₂ selectivity. This electrocatalyst also shows photothermal effect. Under photothermal heating, H₂O₂ produced by the oxidation reduction reaction can decompose and releaseOH, which degrades organic pollutants through the advanced oxidation process. Photothermal effect induced by the advance oxidation process shows obvious advantages over the traditional Fenton reaction, such as wide pH adaptation scope and low secondary pollutant due to its Fe²⁺ free character. With Zn as anode and the electrocatalyst as cathode material, a Zn−O₂ battery is assembled. It achieves electricity generation and photothermal effect induced by the advance oxidation process simultaneously.     

Hierarchical NiCo2O4 Hollow Microcuboids as Bifunctional Electrocatalysts for Overall Water‐Splitting

Bifunctional electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline electrolyte may improve the efficiency of overall water splitting. Nickel cobaltite (NiCo₂O₄) has been considered a promising electrode material for the OER. However, NiCo₂O₄ that can be used as an electrocatalyst in HER has not been studied yet. Herein, we report self‐assembled hierarchical NiCo₂O₄ hollow microcuboids for overall water splitting including both the HER and OER reactions. The NiCo₂O₄ electrode shows excellent activity toward overall water splitting, with 10 mA cm^?2 water‐splitting current reached by applying just 1.65 V and 20 mA cm^?2 by applying just 1.74 V across the two electrodes. The synthesis of NiCo₂O₄ microflowers confirms the importance of structural features for high‐performance overall water splitting.

CoN1O2 Single-Atom Catalyst for Efficient Peroxymonosulfate Activation and Selective Cobalt(IV)=O Generation

High-valent metal-oxo (HVMO) species are powerful non-radical reactive species that enhance advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) due to their long half-lives and high selectivity towards recalcitrant water pollutants with electron-donating groups. However, high-valent cobalt-oxo (Co^IV=O) generation is challenging in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based AOPs because the high 3d-orbital occupancy of cobalt would disfavor its binding with a terminal oxygen ligand. Herein, we propose a strategy to construct isolated Co sites with unique N₁O₂ coordination on the Mn₃O₄ surface. The asymmetric N₁O₂ configuration is able to accept electrons from the Co 3d-orbital, resulting in significant electronic delocalization at Co sites for promoted PMS adsorption, dissociation and subsequent generation of Co^IV=O species. CoN₁O₂/Mn₃O₄ exhibits high intrinsic activity in PMS activation and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation, highly outperforming its counterpart with a CoO₃ configuration, carbon-based single-atom catalysts with CoN₄ configuration, and commercial cobalt oxides. Co^IV=O species effectively oxidize the target contaminants via oxygen atom transfer to produce low-toxicity intermediates. These findings could advance the mechanistic understanding of PMS activation at the molecular level and guide the rational design of efficient environmental catalysts.     

Yolk-shell structured Fe@void@mesoporous silica with high magnetization for activating peroxymonosulfate

Sulfate radical anion (SO₄^⿢⿿) based Fenton-like reaction have recently received a large quantity of attention owing to their strong oxidative capacity and high selectivity toward organic pollutants. However, the development of a high-efficient catalyst for activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) with a fast separation is still challengeable. Herein, magnetic mesoporous silica composites with a yolk-shell structure (Fe@void@mSiO₂) have been prepared via a successive coating strategy, followed by a high-temperature in-situ treatment and demonstrated as a high-efficient and fast magnetic separable catalyst for the activation of PMS. The resultant material possesses a well-defined yolk⿿shell structure with high specific surface area (⿼495.0⿿m²/g), uniform pore size (⿼6.9⿿nm) and super large magnetic susceptibility (⿼105⿿emu/g). Owing to the unique properties, the material possesses an excellent degradation activity for tetracyclines (TC), which is much higher than the commercialized Zero Valent Iron (ZVI) nanoparticles. Additionally, the catalyst is able to work over a broad pH range and be quickly recycled by using an external magnetic field. This research provides a promising strategy for the synthesis and design of multifunctional catalyst for the Fenton-like process.     

CdBiO2Br nanosheets in situ strong coupling to carbonized polymer dots and improved photocatalytic activity for organic pollutants degradation

Carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) modified layer-structured CdBiO₂Br (CPDs/CdBiO₂Br) Z-scheme heterojunction hybrid material has been synthesized via simple solvothermal method. The hybrid material with Z-scheme heterojunction can effectively maintain the original highly oxidizing holes of CdBiO₂Br and the highly reducing electrons of CPDs. In addition, the construction of heterostructure is beneficial to the migration and separation of photogenerated carriers. Under visible light irradiation, 6 wt% CPDs/CdBiO₂Br showed the best catalytic activity for degradation of organic pollutants. Free radical capture experiments and ESR analysis confirmed that the main active species are ^?O₂^? and h⁺. The decomposition process of organic pollutants was analyzed by LC-MS. Finally, the probable visible light mechanism performance of CPDs/CdBiO₂Br as direct Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic materials was proposed.     

Site Engineering of Covalent Organic Frameworks for Regulating Peroxymonosulfate Activation to Generate Singlet Oxygen with 100 % Selectivity

Singlet oxygen (¹O₂) is an excellent reactive oxygen species (ROSs) for the selective conversion of organic matter, especially in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). However, due to the huge dilemma in synthesizing single-site type catalysts, the control and regulation of ¹O₂ generation in AOPs is still challenging and the underlying mechanism remains largely obscure. Here, taking advantage of the well-defined and flexibly tunable sites of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), we report the first achievement in precisely regulating ROSs generation in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based AOPs by site engineering of COFs. Remarkably, COFs with bipyridine units (BPY-COFs) facilitate PMS activation via a nonradical pathway with 100 % ¹O₂, whereas biphenyl-based COFs (BPD-COFs) with almost identical structures activate PMS to produce radicals (⋅OH and SO₄^.−). The BPY-COFs/PMS system delivers boosted performance for selective degradation of target pollutants from water, which is ca. 9.4 times that of its BPD-COFs counterpart, surpassing most reported PMS-based AOPs systems. Mechanism analysis indicated that highly electronegative pyridine-N atoms on BPY-COFs provide extra sites to adsorb the terminal H atoms of PMS, resulting in simultaneous adsorption of O and H atoms of PMS on one pyridine ring, which facilitates the cleavage of its S−O bond to generate ¹O₂.     

Accelerated ZnMoO4 photocatalytic degradation of pirimicarb under UV light mediated by peroxymonosulfate

This paper reports the optimized synthesis of zinc molybdates by the hydrothermal method and the combination of ZnMoO₄ and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under UV irradiation for the degradation of pirimicarb. The as‐prepared ZnMoO₄ photocatalyst was characterized using X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The effects of operational parameters in the ZnMoO₄/PMS/UV system were evaluated and the results indicated the highest performance is achieved with pH = 9.0, 1 mM PMS and 1 g l^?1 ZnMoO₄. The degradation efficiency of pirimicarb was 98% after 3 h in the photocatalytic process. A photodegradation mechanism is proposed based on scavenger and electron spin resonance studies to decide the main active species and by using chromatography–mass spectrometry to identify the major intermediates. Pirimicarb degradation is found to be mainly driven by holes and ?O₂^? radicals, with the contribution of ?OH and SO₄^?? radicals enhancing the process in the tested catalytic system. The mechanism is proposed involving two routes, dealkylation and decarbamoylation. Lastly, the zinc molybdate photocatalyst is shown to be stable, reusable and efficient in the removal of pirimicarb from real water samples in the presence of PMS, demonstrating potential application in the treatment of contaminated and/or environmental water.     

β‐Cyclodextrin‐catalyzed decomposition of Caro's acid

The kinetics and mechanism of decomposition of peroxomonosulphate (PMS) in aqueous sodium hydroxide medium in the presence β‐cyclodextrin has been investigated. The rate of decomposition of PMS is considerably enhanced by the added β‐cyclodextrin. The reaction follows first order kinetics with respect to [PMS]. The experimental results suggest the formation of β‐cyclodextrin peroxy anion by the interaction between SO₅^2?, and β‐cyclodextrin anion (BCDO^?). β‐Cyclodextrin peroxy anion subsequently reacts with PMS to give O₂, SO₄^2? and β‐cyclodextrin anion. The rate constant for the β‐cyclodextrin‐catalyzed decomposition of SO₅^2? (BCD + SO₅^2?) is of the same order of magnitude as that of the reaction HSO₅^2? + SO₅^2? products. © 2002 Wiley Periodic mals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 34: 508–513, 2002     

Binary α-Fe2O3–Co3O4 nanostructures for advanced oxidation process: Role of synergy for enhanced catalysis

Iron and its binary oxides are meticulously exploited for environmental remediations. However, only limited studies have been carried out on the degradation of industrial organics by advanced oxidation process. In this study, iron oxide, cobalt oxide, and iron–cobalt binary oxides were synthesized by a modified hydrothermal method as heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from wastewaters. The oxide nanostructures were characterized by different analytical techniques. Studying the effects of various parameters such as catalyst dose, MB concentration, and H₂O₂ concentration, the reaction conditions were optimized to enhance the removal of MB dye. The results revealed that α-Fe₂O₃–Co₃O₄ shows much higher activity than both Co₃O₄ and α-Fe₂O₃ for the degradation of MB at room temperature and beyond. The binary α-Fe₂O₃–Co₃O₄ shows degradation efficiency of 96.4% at 65 °C within 60 min. Furthermore, the binary α-Fe₂O₃–Co₃O₄ catalyst retains its activity for up to four successive cycles. A probable mechanism is also proposed, involving the generation of ‧OH radical as well as Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ or Co²⁺/Co³⁺ redox couple of the binary α-Fe₂O₃–Co₃O₄ catalyst.     

Studies on reaction mechanisms and distinct chemiluminescence from cyanoimino neonicotinoids triggered by peroxymonosulfate in advanced oxidation processes

In this study, we proposed a novel method to investigate the advanced oxidation process of neonicotinoids (NNIs) from the perspective of concomitant chemiluminescence (CL) reaction. It was found that in the presence of cobalt ions with cyanoimino NNIs, acetamiprid (ACE) and thiacloprid (THI), could promote peroxymonosulfate and Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ to produce strong CL, but no CL occurred with nitro-involved NNIs as alternatives. Experimental dada from UV absorption spectra and chemiluminescence spectra suggested that new cyclic compounds might be formed during the reaction. Based on the results of free radical scavenging experiment and mass spectra, a new degradation and reaction mechanism of cyanoimino-containing NNIs was proposed. ACE or THI were first attacked by SO₄^?? to form benzyl radicals, which in turn reacted with the carbon atoms of cyano group through electrophilic addition reaction in the formation of intramolecular ring. Then a redox reaction between Ru(bpy)₃³⁺ and imino group immediately took place with CL emission (610 nm). The new mechanistic knowledge would be meaningful for other contaminants for their interactions with PMS.     

Z-Scheme In2S3/NU-1000 Heterojunction for Boosting Photo-Oxidation of Sulfide into Sulfoxide under Ambient Conditions

Photocatalytic oxidation of sulfide into sulfoxide has attracted extensive attention as an environmentally friendly strategy for chemical transformations or toxic chemicals degradation. Herein, we construct a series of In₂S₃/NU-1000 heterojunction photocatalysts, which can efficiently catalyze the oxidation of sulfides to form sulfoxides as the sole product under LED lamp (full-spectrum) illumination in air at room temperature. Especially, the sulfur mustard simulant, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES), can also be photocatalytically oxidized with In₂S₃/NU-1000 to afford nontoxic 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide (CEESO) selectively and effectively. In contrast, individual NU-1000 and In₂S₃ show very low catalytic activity on this reaction. The significantly improved photocatalytic activity is ascribed to the constructing of an efficient Z-scheme photocatalysts In₂S₃/NU-1000, which exhibits the enhancement of light harvesting, the promotion of photogenerated electron-hole separation, and the retention of high porosity of the parent MOF. Moreover, mechanism studies in photocatalytic oxidation reveal that the superoxide radical (^.O₂⁻) and singlet oxygen (¹O₂) are the main oxidative species in the oxidation system. This work exploits the opportunities for the construction of porous Z-scheme photocatalysts based on the photoactive MOFs materials and inorganic semiconductors for promoting catalytic organic transformations. More importantly, it provides a route to the rational design of efficient photocatalysts for the detoxification of mustard gas.     

Constructing heterojunction interface of Co3O4/TiO2 for efficiently accelerating acetaminophen degradation via photocatalytic activation of sulfite

Achieving efficient degradation of organic pollutants via activation of sulfite is meaningful but challenging. Herein, we have constructed a heterogeneous catalyst system involving Co₃O₄ and TiO₂ nanoparticles to form the p-n heterojunction (Co₃O₄/TiO₂) to degrade acetaminophen (ACE) through photocatalytic activation of sulfite. Specifically, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and theoretical calculations provide compelling evidence of electron transfer from Co₃O₄ to TiO₂ at the heterointerface. The interfacial electron redistribution of Co₃O₄/TiO₂ tunes the adsorption energy of HSO₃^?/SO₃^2? in sulfite activation process for enhanced the catalytic activity. Owing to its unique heterointerface, the degradation efficiency of ACE reached 96.78% within 10 min. The predominant active radicals were identified as ^?OH, h⁺, and SO_x^?? through radical quenching experiments and electron spin resonance capture. Besides, the possible degradation pathway was deduced by monitoring the generated intermediate products. Thereafter, the enhanced roles of well-engineered compositing interface in photocatalytic activation of sulfite for complete degradation of ACE were unveiled that it can improve light absorption ability, facilitate the generation of active species, and optimize reactive pathways. Considering that sulfite is a waste from flue gas desulfurization process, the photocatalytic activation of sulfite system will open up new avenues of beneficial use of air pollutants for the removal of pharmaceutical wastewater.     

Degradation of tartrazine by peroxymonosulfate through magnetic Fe2O3/Mn2O3 composites activation

In this study, Fe₂O₃/Mn₂O₃ composite was synthesized by a facile two-step technique, and several methods were carried out to characterize it. Then, the decomposition experiments of tartrazine (TTZ), a kind of refractory organic pollutant, were conducted under various environmental condition to detect the catalyst performance, such as reaction system, the dosage of catalyst, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) concentration, initial pH, different natural water substances. The results exhibited that Fe₂O₃/Mn₂O₃ composite with the mole rate 2:3 had the best PMS activation performance and the removal efficiency was 97.3% within 30 min. Besides, the optimum degradation conditions of TTZ were also discussed, that is catalyst dosage (0.6 g/L), PMS concentration (0.8 g/L) and the initial pH 11. In addition, proved by the natural water substances adding experiments, HPO₄²⁻, HCO₃^‒, NO₃^‒ and NOM (nature organic matter) could slow down the experiments progressing, but Cl^‒ could boost it. Then inhibitor experiments indicated both the HO and SO4^‒ played a vital role in the experiments. Reusability and ions leaching experiments as well as the used catalyst physical characterization images exhibited the excellent stability and cyclicity of the Fe₂O₃/Mn₂O₃ composite. Finally, based on the XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and the experiments results, the possible mechanism of TTZ degradation was proposed. This system might provide a novel thought for the decomposition of refractory organic pollutant and had potential in promotion of actual sewage treatment technology.
