Abstract:
Interfacial engineering, which efficiently modulates the electron density and optimizes the electronic structure, has rapidly emerged as a promising strategy to facilitate Fenton-like reaction processes. Here, an interfacial catalyst with Fe7S8 coupled tubular g-C3N4 (TCN) was crafted for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the introduction of TCN in the interfacial engineering facilitated the d-band center of Fe7S8 to be closer to the Fermi energy level, enlarged the contribution of Fe-3d orbitals and raised the number of conductive carriers, resulting in higher PMS activation ability and electron utilization efficiency. S species promote valence cycling of Fe and improve catalytic efficiency as well. 5 mg & sdot;L- 1 tetracycline (TC) was efficiently eliminated with a high rate (0.49 min- 1) under dark conditions at 25 degrees C in 10 min. Moreover, contaminants containing electron-donating groups were susceptible to effective degradation. Given DFT calculations and experiments, the intermediate (*O) was the key precursor for the generation of 1O2, determining the reaction rate, while electron transfer process (ETP) was proposed. This work sheds new insights for interfacial engineering to manipulate the electronic structure of catalysts and enhanced catalytic performance, facilitating practical ecological remediation.
