摘要:

单原子催化剂(SAC)作为新一代过一硫酸盐(PMS)非均相活化剂, 具有原子利用率高、结构稳定性强等优点, 为新兴有机污染物(EOPs)的高效降解提供了新的解决方案. 然而, SAC的活性位点密度依然受限于严苛的制备工艺等, 而这严重影响PMS的进一步激活. 因此, 发展SAC基PMS高级氧化技术的关键之一在于提升SAC的活性位点密度, 进而增强PMS活化效率. 相比之下, 传统的过渡金属氧化物(MOx)作为PMS活化剂, 尽管存在金属原子利用率低和金属离子易溶出等问题, 但其表面具有丰富的金属活性位点. 统筹SAC与MOx的优缺点, 本文提出了一种“新-老”结合策略, 即将传统MOx与新一代SAC耦合, 发展兼具丰富金属活性位点和优良结构稳定性的PMS活化剂, 实现PMS的高效活化.

本文采用预配位-重结晶-热解路径, 结合金属离子源投加量控制, 制备了具有金属氧化物与单原子组分的Co3O4@Co1/C3N5复合PMS非均相活化剂, 并系统研究了其活化PMS降解EOPs的性能. 粉末X射线衍射、X射线光电子能谱、高角环形暗场扫描透射电子显微镜及X射线吸收谱结果表明, Co3O4@Co1/C3N5由金属氧化物Co3O4和单原子Co1/C3N5组成, 并且Co3O4纳米晶体被锚定在Co1/C3N5纳米片表面. 在降解典型EOPs双氯芬酸钠(DCF)的过程中, Co3O4@Co1/C3N5活化的PMS体系展现了显著增强的性能. 相比基于Co3O4和Co1/C3N5活化的PMS体系, DCF的降解速率分别提高了约28.0倍和2.5倍, 证明Co3O4@Co1/C3N5具有显著增强的PMS活化能力. 这主要因为Co1/C3N5和Co3O4之间形成的Co1-O(Co3O4)和Co-N(Co1/C3N5)化学键有效地促进了电荷迁移. 结合密度泛函理论计算发现, Co1/C3N5和Co3O4之间的强电子相互作用显著强化了PMS的吸附, 降低了PMS分解生成活性物质的能垒. 此外, Co3O4@Co1/C3N5具有良好的复杂环境因素(包括pH、共存阴离子以及实际污水等)耐受性和可重复使用性, 证明了其在PMS高级氧化体系中的应用潜力.

综上, 将单原子催化剂与金属氧化物进行耦合, 不仅可能优化电子结构, 增强活性位点的暴露度, 还能通过协同效应, 促进反应中间体的稳定和转化, 从而提升整体的PMS活化性能. 本文研究结果为设计高效催化剂体系提供了参考.

Abstract:

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) as a new class of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator are still limited by the low metal loading and activity. Here, we introduce a new strategy of interfacial coupling SACs with metal oxides to fine-tune the active single-atom sites and improve the atomic utilization efficiency. Taking Co3O4@Co1/C3N5 as a case, the formation of heterostructures enhanced the activity of outer-sphere SACs for PMS activation, further upgrading the kinetics of diclofenac sodium degradation. The degradation rate of the composite increases by up to approximately 28.0 and 2.5 times compared to Co3O4and Co1/C3N5, respectively. The Co1-O (Co3O4) and Co-N (Co1/C3N5) bonds between Co1/C3N5 and Co3O4 make a tightly coupled interface for charge migration, which synergically optimizes the PMS adsorption configuration toward reactive species generation with lower activation energy. Co3O4@Co1/C3N5 also exhibits excellent reusability and can be employed in broad application scenarios.
