Abstract
The development of facile and effective approaches to regulate the stability and reusability of metallic Co catalytic materials towards peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for remediating antibiotic pollutants remains challenging. In this study, we develop a one-step pyrolysis strategy to fabricate three-dimensional porous architecture assembled with N,S,O-codoped carbon nanotube-interwoven hierarchically porous carbon nanosheets encapsulated Co nanoparticles (Co@NSOC), which serve as chainmail catalysts for stable and reusable degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) through PMS activation. The optimal Co@NSOC-700-activated PMS system presents an excellent removal efficiency of 94.1 % for TCH within 10 min and a high cycling efficiency of 92.9 % after eight cycles. The encapsulated structure, abundant catalytic sites, superior hydrophilicity and strong magnetism contribute to the high performance. Further investigation demonstrates that both radical and nonradical pathways contribute to the TCH destruction, and 1O2 is verified as the dominant reactive substance. The possible degradation pathways and the toxicity of intermediates for TCH are evaluated. This work offers an innovative structure design and surface modulation strategy to fabricate robust catalysts towards environmental remediation.
