Non-radical activation of low additive periodate by carbon-doped boron nitride for acetaminophen degradation: Significance of high-potential metastable intermediates.

[PMID: 38430599 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Metal-free environmental-friendly and cost-effective catalysts for periodate (PI) activation are crucial to popularize their application for micropollutant removal in water. Herein, we report that carbon-doped boron nitride (C-BN) can efficiently activate PI to degrade acetaminophen under very low oxidant doses (40 μM) and over a relatively wide pH range (3-9). As expected, the significant reduction in periodate addition is likely to be due to the higher chemical utilization efficiency achieved by a non-radical oxidation pathway. This involved two main mechanisms, the electron transfer process mediated by the high-potential metastable C-BN-900-PI* complex and singlet oxygen. In this case, the CO groups and defects on the C-BN surface were identified as key active sites for PI activation. Notably, the prepared C-BN-900 had good cycling performance and the degradation efficiency is recovered after simple annealing. The existence of HCO3- and HA significantly inhibited the reaction, whereas Cl-, SO42-, and NO3- had little effect on the degradation of ACE. Overall, this study provides a new alternative method to regulate the non-radical pathway of boron nitride/periodate system.

Abstract
The oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of alkane is one of the most attractive routes in alkane production because of its favourable thermodynamic characteristic. Nitrogen-doped nanocarbons have demonstrated great potential in this reaction due to its cost-effective, high catalytic activity and stability. However, the influence of nitrogen on the catalytic properties of carbon materials is poorly understood due to the complexities of surface oxygen and nitrogen functional groups. Here we derive the performance descriptor that account for the nitrogen-dependent carbocatalysis in ODH reaction. To achieve this, we designed a set of nitrogen-doped nanocarbon materials with tunable nitrogen species by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) treatment of the biomass folic acid (FA), which are applied in ODH of ethylbenzene. Among them, FA-180-1000 catalyst can achieve high ethylbenzene conversion (up to ∼62 %) and styrene selectivity (∼87 %), outperforming other HTC carbon-based catalysts. Structural characterizations and kinetic analyses revealed that nitrogen doping strongly interferes the charge polarization of CO site via electron transfer between CO, and nitrogen (mainly pyridine nitrogen and graphitic nitrogen) thus enhancing the reactivity of CO. Furthermore, the induction period during reaction process can be shortened by applying of sulfuric acid-assisted HTC method for constructing nitrogen-doped carbon catalyst with low crystallinity. The present work provides new insights into the contribution of nitrogen doping to the ODH reaction of carbon nanocatalysts, as well as guidance for the rational design of carbon catalysts for the conversion of hydrocarbons to high-value chemicals.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 306:135439. [PMID: 35752311 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The use of metal-free graphite carbon nitride (CN) to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) has attracted extensive attention for organic pollutants degradation. In this work, we prepared carbonized polydopamine-decorated g-C3N4 (CP-700) for activation of PMS to degrade norfloxacin (NOR). The CP-700 composite was obtained by using CN as a base material on which dopamine underwent an autopolymerization reaction to form a CN-PDA complex, followed by pyrolysis. The apparent porous structure and graphitization provided a large number of active sites for catalytic degradation, enabling CP-700 to exhibit excellent catalytic performance during PMS activation. The degradation of NOR was not hindered by sulfate radical (SO4•-) and hydroxyl radical (•OH). Singlet oxygen (1O2) and mediated electron transfer were ultimately identified as the primary mechanisms. According to the linear positive correlation (R2 = 0.9922) between the semi-quantitative carbonyl group (CO) and the reaction rate constant, it was determined that the carbonyl group served as the important active site. The excellent electron transfer ability of CP-700 was evidenced by electrochemical techniques and the electron transfer pathway in the system was that PMS was adsorbed on the CP-700 surface to form metastable complex, and then the electron transfer between NOR and metastable complex was achieved. Based on the non-radical pathway, CP-700/PMS system showed a high tolerance to solution pH (3.0-11.0) and inorganic anions. The cyclic degradation experiments indicated that the system maintained a high degradation capability without the addition of additional CP-700, elucidating its potential application in the degradation of organic pollutants in the water.

Abstract
Metal-free nitrogen-doped carbon is considered as a green functional material, but the structural determination of the atomic positions of nitrogen remains challenging. We recently demonstrated that directly-excited solid state 15N NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the determination of such positions in N-doped carbon at natural 15N isotope abundance. Here we report a green chemistry approach for the synthesis of N-doped carbon using cellulose as a precursor, and a study of the catalytic properties and atomic structures of the related catalyst. N-doped carbon (NH3) was obtained by the oxidation of cellulose with HNO3 followed by ammonolysis at 800 °C. It had a N content of 6.5 wt% and a surface area of 557 m2 g-1, and 15N ssNMR spectroscopy provided evidence for graphitic nitrogen besides regular pyrrolic and pyridinic nitrogen. This structural determination allowed probing the role of graphitic nitrogen in electrocatalytic reactions, such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and nitrite reduction reaction. The N-doped carbon catalyst (NH3) showed higher electrocatalytic activities in the OER and HER under alkaline conditions and higher activity for nitrite reduction, as compared with a catalyst prepared by the carbonization of HNO3-treated cellulose in N2. The electrocatalytic selectivity for nitrite reduction of the N-doped carbon catalyst (NH3) was directly related to the graphitic nitrogen functions. Complementary structural analyses by means of 13C and 1H ssNMR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and low-temperature N2 adsorption were performed and provided support to the findings. The results show that directly-excited 15N ssNMR spectroscopy at natural 15N abundance is generally capable of providing information on N-doped carbon materials if relaxation properties are favorable. It is expected that this approach can be applied to a wide range of solids with an intermediate concentration of N atoms.
