Abstract
Regulating interfacial active sites to improve peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation efficiency is a hot topic in the heterogeneous catalysis field. In this study, we develop an inverted loading strategy to engineer asymmetric Mn-OV-Ce sites for PMS activation. Mn3O4@CeO2 prepared by loading CeO2 nanoparticles onto Mn3O4 nanorods exhibits the highest catalytic activity and stability, which is due to the formation of more oxygen vacancies (OV) at the Mn-OV-Ce sites, and the surface CeO2 layer effectively inhibits corrosion by preventing the loss of manganese ion active species into the solution. In situ characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) studies have revealed effective bimetallic redox cycles at asymmetric Mn-OV-Ce active sites, which promote surface charge transfer, enhance the adsorption reaction activity of active species toward pollutants, and favor PMS activation to generate (•OH, SO4•-, O2•- and 1O2) active species. This study provides a brand-new perspective for engineering the interfacial behavior of PMS activation.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:22158-22170.

Abstract
La(OH)3/g-C3N4 composites were successfully synthesized via one-step calcination using urea, melamine, and La(NO3)3·nH2O as raw materials, and applied to UV-induced photocatalytic tetracycline (TC) removal. Comprehensive characterization by an X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared reflection (FT-IR), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and other techniques analyzed effects of La3+ doping, especially N vacancies and cyano groups as active sites. Compared to pure g-C3N4 and La(OH)3, synthesized La(OH)3/g-C3N4 composites exhibited a three-dimensional porous nanosheet structure with specific surface area of 83.62 m2/g and equilibrium TC adsorption capacity up to 285.59 mg/g; La(OH)3 doping significantly improved composite structure. After dispersing 10 mg La-CN-0.5 photocatalyst in 60 mL 40 mg/L TC solution, TC removal reached 91.08% in 30 min under UV irradiation, exhibiting excellent performance. Additionally, La-CN-0.5 showed significant adsorption-photocatalytic synergism, with the quasi-primary kinetic constant increased by 1.83-fold. The efficiency of high tetracycline (TC) concentration treatment through adsorption photocatalytic degradation by La-CN-0.5 was confirmed by the utilization of free radical trapping and electron spin resonance (ESR) tests. The significant involvement of ∙O2-, ∙OH, and h+ in this process was observed. These findings propose that the prepared La-CN-0.5 material exhibits a unique capability for adsorption photocatalysis, providing a promising approach for the efficient removal of high TC concentrations.
