Abstract:
Electro-Fenton (EF) process, featuring in-situ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production, has received increasing attention for its efficacy in degrading organic pollutants. However, challenges such as low oxygen utilization efficiency and high energy consumption persist. In this study, a novel Carbon Black-loaded Carbon Felt (CB-CF) electrode using the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique was prepared to boost the efficiency of H2O2 production. Various aeration patterns and aeration gas were systematically introduced to assess the oxygen utilization pathway and improve oxygen utilization efficiency. The CB-CF cathode, forming an efficient triphase interface, coupled with the side-oxygen mode, demonstrates rapid H2O2 production (48.82 mg/h) at a remarkably low energy consumption (14.46kWh·kg−1) with the current density of 15 mA/cm2. The fabricated CB-CF exhibited exceptional performance, achieving over 90% degradation efficiency of Fulvic Acid (FA) within 60 minutes in the EF system. Stability experiments underscored the impact of current density and hydrophobicity on the electrode but revealed that PTFE recoating effectively preserves stability. Furthermore, the straightforward and efficient electrode preparation process, combined with the favorable electrochemical properties of CB-CF, positions it as a promising candidate for large-scale applications in H2O2 electro-synthesis and environmental remediation. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
