Abstract
A major issue with Fenton-like reaction is the excessive consumption of H2O2 caused by the sluggish regeneration rate of low-valent metal, and how to improve the activation efficiency of H2O2 has become a key in current research. Herein, a nano-heterostructure catalyst (1.0-MnCu/C) based on nano-interface engineering is constructed by supporting Cu and MnO on carbon skeleton, and its kinetic rate for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride is 0.0436 min-1, which is 2.9 times higher than that of Cu/C system (0.0151 min-1). The enhancement of removal rate results from the introduced Mn species can aggregate and transfer electrons to Cu sites through the electron bridge Mn-N/O-Cu, thus preventing Cu2+ from oxidizing H2O2 to form O2 •-, and facilitating the reduction of Cu2+ and generating more reactive oxygen species (1O2 and ·OH) with stronger oxidation ability, resulting in H2O2 utilization efficiency is 1.9 times as much as that of Cu/C. Additionally, the good and stable practical application capacity in different bodies demonstrates that it has great potential for practical environmental remediation.
