Abstract:Electro-Fenton (EF) has received
widespread attention in terms
of water decontamination in advanced oxidation processes but still
has the bottlenecks of a narrow pH (∼3) application range and
a slow rate of reduction of the iron ion to sustain high treatment
efficiency. Herein, an iron–carbon catalyst was synthesized
to develop a heterogeneous EF/sulfite (hetero-EF/sulfite) process,
which expanded the pH application range to 7 and increased the rate
constant of carbamazepine (CBZ) degradation 10.74 times compa… Show more
“…The FLO removal (98.7%), defluorination efficiency (67.6%), and dechlorination efficiency (95.6%) of Co−N/C were higher than those of Pd/C (86.0, 41.8, and 87.3%), and the degradation rate constant of Co−N/C (0.0319 min −1 ) was 2.1 times that of Pd/C (0.0155 min −1 ) (Figures 2d,e and S11), confirming its dehalogenation performance was superior to Pd/C. To further assess the catalytic activity of Co−N/C, electric energy consumption (EEC) 38 and turnover frequency (TOF) 39 were calculated. As shown in Figure 2f, Co−N/C had a TOF value of 0.0208 min −1 , which was higher than the majority of other catalysts (0.0002−0.0127 min −1 ).…”

“…Results from this work demonstrate the potential advantages of the proposed (photo)electrode architecture and design while avoiding complex systems or components (e.g., catalyst recovery, catalyst leaching, additional chemical and energy inputs). [38][39][40] The electrospun CNFs serve as a three-dimensional, low-resistance current collector and provide a high surface area for supporting and exposing embedded TiO 2 semiconductor particles for enhanced charge transport. TiO 2an earthabundant semiconductor that represents the industry standard for photocatalytic water treatment applications 41,42 was selected due to the extensive literature about its performance as a photocatalyst, particularly for pollutant transformation.…”
