| 1 | Low-cost and efficient Mn/CeO_(2) catalyst for photocatalytic VOCs degradation via scalable colloidal solution combustion synthesis method显示文摘Colloidal solution combustion synthesis(CSCS)is a simple and easy method for mass-production of crystalline nanomaterials with tunable pore structure.In this work,mesoporous Mn/CeO_(2) catalysts were fabricated via CSCS method coupled with a dip-coating process and used for photocatalytic oxidation(PCO)of toluene.Under vacuum ultraviolet(VUV)irradiation,a high toluene removal efficiency of about 92%was achieved with a toluene reaction rate of about 118μmol/g/h in a continuous flow reactor.A possible degradation pathway was proposed based on the analysis of intermediates by Fourier transform infrared photoluminescence spectra(FTIR)and GC-Mass.Hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction(H_(2)-TPR),Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET)surface areas,photoluminescence spectra(PL)spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)were carried out to analyze physical and chemical properties of the catalysts.Compared with Mn_(x)Ce_(1-x)O_(2) catalysts synthesized by one step CSCS method,Mn/CeO_(2) has a higher photocatalytic activity,which is attributed to the presence of higher contents of Ce^(3+),Mn^(2+)and Mn^(3+)species.The presence of higher contents of these species plays a key role in the activity enhancement of toluene oxidation and ozone decomposition.This method is facile,efficient and scalable,and it may become a promising industrial application technology for catalyst synthesis in the near future. | Yingguang Zhang Muyan Wu Yifei Wang Xiaolong Zhao Dennis Y.C.Leung | 2022 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2022，，21： | 2 |
| 3 | Mechanistic study of vacuum UV catalytic oxidation for toluene degradation over CeO_(2) nanorods显示文摘The present study specifically investigates vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) catalytic oxidation for toluene degradation over CeO_(2) nanorods.Synergetic effects of ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation (UV-PCO) and ozone catalytic oxidation (OZCO) were manifested in the results of toluene removal and COx generation,while the combination of UV-PCO andOZCO (UV-OZCO) did not lead to improvement of mineralization.All the processes contribute to ozone decomposition,but no obvious synergetic effects of the different processes can be observed.Intermediate analysis results indicated that more toluene was oxidized into by-products,such as benzyl alcohol and benzaldehyde,by UV-OZCO rather than forming COx.Both hydroxyl radical (·OH) and superoxide radical (·O_(2)^(-)) were found in all the processes of the VUV-PCO-OZCO system(combination of VUV photolysis,UV-PCO,OZCO and UV-OZCO processes).In the UV-OZCO process,the formation of hydroxyl radical was promoted,while that of superoxide radical was impeded,resulting in lower mineralization level of toluene.The mechanistic study of toluene degradation over CeO_(2) nanorods in the VUV-PCO-OZCO system revealed that with the formation of·O_(2)^(-)and·OH,toluene is first oxidized to intermediates,followed by further ring–opening reaction and,finally,degradation into CO_(2) and H_(2)O.CeO_(2) nanorods function as both ozonation catalyst and photocatalyst,and the redox pair of Ce^(3+)and Ce^(4+)are interconvertible and can keep a balance. | Muyan Wu Yingguang Zhang Haibao Huang Dennis Y.C.Leung | 2022 | Green Energy & Environment2022，7，3： | 0 |
