In this study, a novel photocatalytic fuel cell electro-Fenton (PFC-EF) system was constructed using g-C N @N-TNA and Ag/CNT@CF as electrodes. The composition, structure, and morphology of the electrodes were obtained. The g-C N @N-TNA, with its 2.37 eV band gap and 100 mV photovoltage, has excellent excitation properties for sunlight. Ag/CNT@CF with abundant pores, CNT 3D nanostructures, and Ag crystals on the surface can improve the electro-Fenton efficiency. A comparative study of rhodamine B (RhB) degradation was performed in this system. It has been shown that electric fields can greatly enhance the oxidation efficiency of both anode photocatalysis and the cathode electro-Fenton process. Under optimal conditions, RhB can be completely removed by the photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) process. The energy consumption of the PEF system was obtained. The electrical energy per order (EE/O) is only 9.2 kWh/m ·order, which is only 16.5% of EF and 2.2% of PFC-EF system. The mineralization current efficiency (MCE) of the PEF system reached 93.3% for a 2-h reaction. Therefore, the PEF system has the advantage of saving energy. The kinetic analysis shows that the RhB removal follows a first-order kinetic law, and the reaction rate constant reaches 0.1304 min , which is approximately 5.2 times larger and 4.0 times larger than the electro-Fenton and PFC-EF processes, respectively. RhB removal is a coupling multimechanism in which an electric field enhances photoelectron migration, Ag loading improves H O generation, UV light coupled with H O promotes hydroxyl radical (٠OH) generation, and the nanoconfinement effect of CNTs promotes ٠OH accumulation in favor of RhB degradation. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Novel efficiency photocatalytic fuel cell electro-Fenton system was constructed. The electric field greatly enhances the photocatalytic fuel cell electro-Fenton system. Multiple coupling mechanisms of UV/H2O2, UV/Fenton and photo-electro-Fenton have been revealed.
在这项研究中,构建了一种新型的光催化燃料电池电芬顿(PFC-EF)系统,该系统使用 g-C N @N-TNA 和 Ag/CNT@CF 作为电极。对电极的组成、结构和形态进行了研究。具有 2.37 eV 带隙和 100 mV 光电压的 g-C N @N-TNA 对太阳光具有优异的激发特性。具有丰富的孔、CNT 3D 纳米结构和表面 Ag 晶体的 Ag/CNT@CF 可以提高电芬顿效率。在该系统中进行了罗丹明 B(RhB)降解的比较研究。结果表明,电场可以极大地增强阳极光催化和阴极电芬顿过程的氧化效率。在最佳条件下,光电化学芬顿(PEF)过程可以完全去除 RhB。获得了 PEF 系统的能耗。每阶电耗(EE/O)仅为 9.2 kWh/m ·阶,仅为 EF 的 16.5%和 PFC-EF 系统的 2.2%。PEF 系统的 2 小时反应的矿化电流效率(MCE)达到 93.3%。因此,PEF 系统具有节能优势。动力学分析表明,RhB 去除遵循一级动力学规律,反应速率常数达到 0.1304 min ,分别约为电芬顿和 PFC-EF 过程的 5.2 倍和 4.0 倍。RhB 去除是一种耦合的多机制过程,其中电场增强光生电子迁移,Ag 负载提高 H O 生成,UV 光与 H O 耦合促进羟基自由基(٠OH)生成,并且 CNT 的纳米限域效应促进 ٠OH 在 RhB 降解中积累。
