Abstract
Chlorophenol wastewater has a serious impact on the environment, and it is not easily degraded by traditional methods. The novel electrochemical hydrogen evolution reduction degradation has received widespread attention, among which the electrocatalytic performance of the electrode is particularly critical. In this study, Pd-Fe2O3-coated nickel foam electrode (Pd-Fe2O3-Ni) was prepared by annealing on Fe–Ni and introducing Pd into Fe2O3. Its degradation performance is better than that of the original nickel foam (Ni) and Fe2O3-Ni electrodes. The removal of 4-chlorophenol by Pd-Fe2O3-Ni was 98.2%, which was 1.4–1.52, 10–12 and 10.3–11.4 times higher than that of the unannealed Pd-Fe2O3-Ni, Ni, and Fe2O3-Ni, respectively. Meanwhile, the Pd-Fe2O3-Ni electrode had good stability, and the 4-chlorophenol removal rate was maintained at 92% after five repetitions, which proved the applicability of the Pd-Fe2O3-Ni electrode. Therefore, the prepared Pd-Fe2O3-Ni is a high-performance electrode for electrochemical reduction and degradation of wastewater.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
