Abstract:
The study synthesized nitrogen-doped cobalt oxide precursors using a one-pot hydrothermal method. Three catalysts, N&CoO-Ar, N&CoO-N, and N&CoO-NH, were obtained by calcination under different atmospheric environments (argon, nitrogen, and nitrogen‑hydrogen mixture). Characterization results showed that all the prepared materials consisted primarily of carbon components and cobalt oxide, while the catalysts calcined in a nitrogen‑hydrogen atmosphere owned the highest content of pyridine nitrogen. Degradation experiments on sulfapyridine (SPD) showed that the N&CoO-NH/PMS system exhibited the best SPD degradation performance (the apparent rate constants were 3.0, 5.1 and 8.3 times larger those of N&CoO-N/PMS, N&CoO-Ar/PMS, and pure CoO/PMS), and was able to rapidly degrade the pollutant within 5 min. The quenching experiments and electrochemical experiments indicated that the nitrogen component modulation improved the chemisorption between PMS and N&CoO-NH and enhanced the electron transfer efficiency between N&CoO-NH/PMS and the pollutant. In addition, the N&CoO-NH/PMS system exhibited good stability and a wide pH applicability. Furthermore, N&CoO-NH/PMS also exhibited good anti-interference performance in the presence of Cl−, HCO3−, NO3−, PO42−, CO32−, and HA, as well as excellent feasibility of treating actual wastewater. © 2024
