Construction of Pt/graphitic C3N4/MoS2 heterostructures on photo-enhanced electrocatalytic oxidation of small organic molecules

Electrochemical degradation of ciprofloxacin with a Sb-doped SnO2 electrode: performance, influencing factors and degradation pathways

“…The distance between the two electrodes was 3 cm. Effects of coating times (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20), current density (10-25 mA cm À2 ), electrolyte concentration (10-40 g L À1 ), initial concentration (10-80 mg L À1 ), and pH value (3-9) on degradation were investigated. During experiments, samples were taken every 15 min, and UV-vis Spectrophotometer (TU-1901, Beijing, China) was mainly used to monitor the removal rate of CIP in terms of variances in the absorbance, and the main absorption peak (l max ) located at 275 nm.…”

“…Advanced oxidation processes, including Fenton oxidation, electrochemical oxidation and photocatalysis, have always been praised as viable methods on wastewater treatment. [11][12][13][14][15][16] By comparison, electrochemical oxidation has great advantages in the treatment of refractory organic wastewater because of its high processing efficiency, simple equipment, convenient operation, and environmental friendliness. 17 The anode materials are vital for electrochemical oxidation because they determine the formation of hydroxyl radicals.…”

Rhodium effects on Pt anode materials in a direct alkaline ethanol fuel cell

“…3,22 One way to avoid this poisoning effect or at considerably decrease its effect is to combine Pt with other metals such as ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), bismuth (Bi), tungsten (W), and rhodium (Rh). 11,20,[22][23][24][25][26][27] These latter elements act as co-catalysts to enhance the EOR rate and the CO tolerance of Pt, which has been explained by a bifunctional mechanism or an electronic effect. 3 Rh is reported to be an active co-catalyst in the C-C bond cleavage during the EOR.…”

“…11,34 Additionally, properties such as particle size, morphology and porosity also inuence directly the performance of the electrocatalyst and can be controlled by the synthesis method. 12,23 Several preparation methods of PtRh catalysts were proposed in the literature such as electrodeposition 17,35 microwave-assisted, 12 hydrothermal synthesis, 36 polyol method, 31,[37][38][39] and, borohydride-reduction method. [40][41][42][43][44] However, to avoid any limitation in activity due to the remained organic surfactants on the catalysts, a suitable synthesis approach is required.…”

Palladium/Copper Alloy Hollow Nanocubes Supported on Sulfur‐doped Graphene as Highly Efficient Catalyst for Ethylene Glycol Oxidation

“…Particularly, direct fuel fuel cells (DFFCs) are considered to be one of the most promising systems for various applications, such as stationary and portable electronics, and automobiles . Low‐molecular‐weight alcohols are liquid at room temperature, making them more convenient and less dangerous when being handled, stored, and transported than gaseous hydrogen . Among these liquid fuels, ethylene glycol has a superior energy density (7.56 kWh dm −3 ) and a higher boiling point (471 K) than other comparable types such as methanol and ethanol .…”
