Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are considered to be the most recalcitrant gaseous pollutants due to their high toxicity, diversity, complexity, and stability. Gas-solid catalytic oxidation methods have been intensively studied for VOC treatment while being greatly hampered by energy consumption, catalyst deactivation, and byproduct formation. Recently, aqueous advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have attracted increasing interest for the deep oxidation of VOCs at room temperature, owing to the generation of abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, current reviews mainly focus on VOC degradation performance and have not clarified the specific reaction process, degradation products, and paths of VOCs in different AOPs. This study systematically reviews recent advances in the application of aqueous AOPs for gaseous VOC removal. First, the VOC gas-liquid mass transfer and chemical oxidation processes are presented. Second, the latest research progress of VOC removal by various ROS is reviewed to study their degradation performances, pathways, and mechanisms. Finally, the current challenges and future strategies are discussed from the perspectives of synergistic oxidation of VOC mixtures, accurate oxidation, and resource utilization of target VOCs via aqueous AOPs. This perspective provides the latest information and research inspiration for the future industrial application of aqueous AOPs for VOC waste gas treatment.

Abstract
A highly efficient and sustainable water treatment system was developed herein by combining Mn(II), peroxymonosulfate (PMS), and biodegradable picolinic acid (PICA). The micropollutant elimination process underwent two phases: an initial slow degradation phase (0-10 min) followed by a rapid phase (10-20 min). Multiple evidence demonstrated that a PICA-Mn(IV) complex (PICA-Mn(IV)*) was generated, acting as a conductive bridge facilitating the electron transfer between PMS and micropollutants. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that PMS readily oxidized the PICA-Mn(II)* to PICA-Mn(IV)*. This intermediate then complexed with PMS to produce PICA-Mn(IV)-PMS*, elongating the O-O bond of PMS and increasing its oxidation capacity. The primary transformation mechanisms of typical micropollutants mediated by PICA-Mn(IV)-PMS* include oxidation, ring-opening, bond cleavage, and epoxidation reactions. The toxicity assessment results showed that most products were less toxic than the parent compounds. Moreover, the Mn(II)/PICA/PMS system showed resilience to water matrices and high efficiency in real water environments. Notably, PICA-Mn(IV)* exhibited greater stability and a longer lifespan than traditional reactive oxygen species, enabling repeated utilization. Overall, this study developed an innovative, sustainable, and selective oxidation system, i.e., Mn(II)/PICA/PMS, for rapid water decontamination, highlighting the critical role of in situ generated Mn(IV).

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 476:135016.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA) is a hazardous indoor air pollutant with carcinogenic propensity. Oxidation of FA in the dark at low temperature (DLT) is a promising strategy for its elimination from indoor air. In this light, binary manganese-cobalt oxide (0.1 to 5 mol L-1-MnCo2O4) is synthesized and modified in an alkaline medium (0.1-5 mol L-1 potassium hydroxide) for FA oxidation under room temperature (RT) conditions. Accordingly, 1-MnCo2O4 achieves 100 % FA conversion at RT (50 ppm and 7022 h-1 gas hourly space velocity (GHSV)). The catalytic activity of 1-MnCo2O4 is assessed further as a function of diverse variables (e.g., catalyst mass, relative humidity, FA concentration, molecular oxygen (O2) content, flow rate, and time on-stream). In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy confirms that FA molecules are adsorbed onto the active surface sites of 1-MnCo2O4 and oxidized into water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) through dioxymethylene (DOM) and formate (HCOO-) as the reaction intermediates. According to the density functional theory simulations, the higher catalytic activity of 1-MnCo2O4 can be attributed to the combined effects of its meritful surface properties (e.g., the firmer attachment of FA molecules, lower energy cost of FA adsorption, and lower desorption energy for CO2 and H2O). This work is the first report on the synthesis of alkali (KOH)-modified MnCo2O4 and its application toward the FA oxidative removal at RT in the dark. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights into the development of efficient and cost-effective non-noble metal catalysts against indoor FA at DLT.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 363:142756. [PMID: 38964721 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142756] [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: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a co-catalytic route was explored to enhance the photo-ozone catalytic degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). NiCo2O4 was loaded onto the surface of CeO2 nanoparticles to create a composite catalyst (10%NiCo2O4/CeO2). The integration of NiCo2O4 onto CeO2 enhanced the interaction between the catalyst and toluene, a representative VOC, resulting in significantly increased toluene adsorption without a corresponding increase in specific surface area. This integration also improved the utilization of charge carriers and conversion of ozone to O2-. Under visible light irradiation, H2O accumulated charge carriers at 10%NiCo2O4/CeO2's surface, facilitating both ozone utilization and toluene adsorption. Another benefit of NiCo2O4 loading was its ability to enhance the conversion efficiency of solar energy. Consequently, the toluene removal and mineralization efficiencies of 10%NiCo2O4/CeO2 were enhanced by 182% and 309% compared to CeO2, and by 201% and 357% compared to NiCo2O4, respectively. Overall, this study demonstrated a novel co-catalyst design strategy for enhancing the photo-ozone catalytic degradation of VOCs.

Abstract
Water vapor inevitably exists in the environment, which causes adverse impacts on many crucial chemical reactions. However, high water vapor of up to 10 vol %─relevant to a broad spectrum of industrial practices-for catalytic implications has been less investigated or neglected. As such, we explored an industry-relevant, humidity-highly sensitive benzene oxidation only in the presence of 10 vol % water vapor using the well-established Pt/Co3O4 catalysts, to bring such an important yet ignored topic to the forefront. Results revealed that Pt/Co3O4 catalysts possessing higher contents of Pt nanoparticles exhibited marked tolerance to water vapor interference. Under an incomplete benzene conversion condition, the input of 10 vol % water vapor indeed impaired the catalytic performance of Pt/Co3O4 catalyst significantly, which, in fact, was caused by the unfavorable formation of carboxylate species covering the catalyst's surface engendering irrecoverable activity loss, instead of the well-accepted water competitive adsorption. While such activity loss can be restored by elevating the reaction to a higher temperature. This study helps us to understand the compromised catalytic activity caused by high humidity, urging the systematic evaluation of well-established catalyst systems in high water vapor-contained conditions and pressing the development of water-tolerant catalysts for real-life application consideration.

Abstract
The removal of formaldehyde (FA) is vital for indoor air quality management in light of its carcinogenic propensity and adverse environmental impact. A series of copper manganite spinel structures (e.g., CuMn2O4) are prepared using the sol-gel combustion method and treated with reduction or oxidation pretreatment at 300 °C condition. Accordingly, CuMn2O4-O ("O" suffix for oxidation pre-treatment in air) is identified as the best performer to achieve 100% conversion (XFA) of FA (50 ppm) at 90 °C; its performance, if assessed in terms of reaction kinetic rate (r) at XFA = 10%, is 5.02E-03 mmol g-1 h-1. The FA removal performance increases systematically with decreases in flow rate, FA concentration, and relative humidity (RH) or with increases in bed mass. The reaction pathways and intermediates of FA catalytic oxidation on CuMn2O4-A are studied with density functional theory simulations, temperature-programmed characterization experiments, and in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. The synergistic combination of large quantities of adsorbed oxygen (OA) species and oxidized metal species (e.g., Cu2+) contribute to the enhanced catalytic performance of CuMn2O4-O to oxidize FA into CO2 with the reaction intermediates of H2CO2 (DOM), HCOO-, and CO. The present study is expected to provide valuable insights into the thermocatalytic oxidation of FA over spinel CuMn2O4 materials and their catalytic performances in relation to the key process variables.

Abstract
Alkali metal potassium was beneficial to the electronic regulation and structural stability of transition metal oxides. Herein, K ions were introduced into manganese oxides by different methods to improve the degradation efficiency of toluene. The results of activity experiments indicated that KMnO4-HT (HT: Hydrothermal method) exhibited outstanding low-temperature catalytic activity, and 90% conversion of toluene can be achieved at 243°C, which was 41°C and 43°C lower than that of KNO3-HT and Mn-HT, respectively. The largest specific surface area was observed on KMnO4-HT, facilitating the adsorption of toluene. The formation of cryptomelane structure over KMnO4-HT could contribute to higher content of Mn3+ and lattice oxygen (Olatt), excellent low-temperature reducibility, and high oxygen mobility, which could increase the catalytic performance. Furthermore, two distinct degradation pathways were inferred. Pathway Ⅰ (KMnO4-HT): toluene → benzyl → benzoic acid → carbonate → CO2 and H2O; Pathway ⅠⅠ (Mn-HT): toluene → benzyl alcohol → benzoic acid → phenol → maleic anhydride → CO2 and H2O. Fewer intermediates were detected on KMnO4-HT, indicating its stronger oxidation capacity of toluene, which was originated from the doping of K+ and the interaction between KOMn. More intermediates were observed on Mn-HT, which can be attributed to the weaker oxidation ability of pure Mn. The results indicated that the doping of K+ can improve the catalytic oxidation capacity of toluene, resulting in promoted degradation of intermediates during the oxidation of toluene.

Abstract
Exploring highly efficient and robust non-noble metal catalysts for VOC abatement is crucial but challenging. Mn-based perovskites are a class of redox catalysts with good thermal stability, but their activity in the catalytic combustion of light alkanes is insufficient. In this work, we modulated the Mn-O bond strength in a Mn-based perovskite via defect engineering, over which the catalytic activity of propane combustion was significantly enhanced. It demonstrates that the oxygen vacancy concentration and the Mn-O bond strength can be efficiently modulated by finely tuning the Ni content in SmNixMn1-xO3 perovskite catalysts (SNxM1-x), which in turn can enhance the redox ability and generate more active oxygen species. The SN0.10M0.90 catalyst with the lowest Mn-O bond strength exhibits the lowest apparent activation energy, over which the propane conversion rate increases by 3.6 times compared to that on the SmMnO3 perovskite catalyst (SM). In addition, a SN0.10M0.90/cordierite monolithic catalyst can also exhibit a remarkable catalytic performance and deliver excellent long-term durability (1000 h), indicating broad prospects in industrial applications. Moreover, the promotional effect of Ni substitution was further unveiled by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work brings a favorable guidance for the exploration of highly efficient perovskite catalysts for light alkane elimination.

Abstract
The CO oxidation catalytic activity of catalysts is strongly influenced by the oxygen vacancy defects (OVDs) concentration and the valence state of active metal. Herein, a defect engineering approach was implemented to enhance the oxygen vacancy defects and to modify the valence of metal ions in manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieves (OMS-2) by the introduction of copper (Cu). The characterization and theoretical calculation results reveal that the incorporation of Cu2+ ion into the OMS-2 structure led to a rise in specific surface area and pore volume, weakening of Mn-O bonds, higher proportion of the low-coordinated oxygen species adsorbed in oxygen vacancies (Oads) and an increase in the average oxidation state of manganese. These structural modifications were discovered to considerably reduce the apparent activation energy (Ea), thus ultimately significantly enhancing the CO oxidation activity (T99 at 148 ℃at GHSV = 13,200 h-1) than the original OMS-2 (T99 = 215 ℃ at GHSV = 13,200 h-1). Furthermore, In-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) and In-situ near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (in situ NAP-XPS) results indicate that the bimetallic synergy enhanced by doping strategy accelerates the conversion of oxygen to chemisorbed oxygen species and the reaction rate of CO oxidation through Mn3++Cu2+↔Mn4++Cu+ redox cycle. The findings of this study offer novel perspectives on the design of catalysts with exceptional performance in CO oxidation.

Advanced oxidation process (AOP) wet scrubber is a powerful and clean technology for organic pollutant treatment but still presents great challenges in removing the highly toxic and hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Herein, we elaborately designed a bifunctional cobalt sulfide (CoS2)/activated carbon (AC) catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for efficient toxic VOC removal in an AOP wet scrubber. By combining the excellent VOC adsorption capacity of AC with the highly efficient PMS activation activity of CoS2, CoS2/AC can rapidly capture VOCs from the gas phase to proceed with the SO4•- and HO• radical-induced oxidation reaction. More than 90% of aromatic VOCs were removed over a wide pH range (3-11) with low Co ion leaching (0.19 mg/L). The electron-rich sulfur vacancies and low-valence Co species were the main active sites for PMS activation. SO4•- was mainly responsible for the initial oxidation of VOCs, while HO• and O2 acted in the subsequent ring-opening and mineralization processes of intermediates. No gaseous intermediates from VOC oxidation were detected, and the highly toxic liquid intermediates like benzene were also greatly decreased, thus effectively reducing the health toxicity associated with byproduct emissions. This work provided a comprehensive understanding of the deep oxidation of VOCs via AOP wet scrubber, significantly accelerating its application in environmental remediation.

Abstract
More and more attention has been paid to condensable particulate matter (CPM) since its emissions have surpassed that of filterable particulate matter (FPM) with the large-scale application of ultralow-emission reform. CPM is a gaseous material in the flue stack but instantly turns into particles after leaving the stack. It is composed of inorganic and organic components. Organic components are an important part of CPM, and they are an irritant, teratogenic, and carcinogenic, which triggers photochemical smog, urban haze, and acid deposition. CPM organic components can aggravate air pollution and climate change; therefore, consideration should be given to them. Based on existing methods for removing atmospheric organic pollutants and combined with the characteristics of CPM organic components, we provide a critical overview from the aspects of (i) fundamental cognition of CPM, (ii) common methods to control CPM organic components, and (iii) catalytic oxidation of CPM organic components. As one of the most encouraging methods, catalytic oxidation is discussed in detail, especially in combination with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, to meet the growing demands for multipollutant control (MPC). We believe that this review is inspiring for a fuller understanding and deeper exploration of promising approaches to control CPM organic components.

Abstract
As a typical heterogeneous catalytic process, the catalytic combustion of toluene over Co3O4-based catalysts is strongly depends on the surface properties of catalysts, especially the concentration of surface oxygen defects. Here, a novel way was proposed to construct chemically bonded CuO-Co3O4 interface by chemical deposition of CuO onto Co3O4 nanoflowers. The interfacial refinement effect between CuO and Co3O4 support disrupted the ordered atomic arrangement and created countless unsaturated coordination sites at CuO-Co3O4 interface, inducing a significant generation of surface oxygen defects. Surface-rich oxygen vacancies enhanced the capacity of 20%CuO/Co3O4-R to adsorb and activate oxygen species. Benefiting from this, 90 % toluene conversion was reached at 228 °C over 20%CuO/Co3O4-R, which was much lower than that over 20%CuO/Co3O4-S prepared by impregnation method and CuO/Co3O4-mix obtained by mechanically mixing way. In-situ DRIFTS analysis revealed that toluene could be directly decomposed into benzaldehyde at the highly defective CuO-Co3O4 interface, leading to toluene oxidation following the path of toluene → benzaldehyde → benzoate → maleic anhydride → water and carbon dioxide over 20%CuO/Co3O4-R, which was significantly different from decomposition mechanism over 20%CuO/Co3O4-S. Additionally, 20%CuO/Co3O4-R displayed terrific recyclability and outstanding stability, showing good application potential.

Abstract
Photothermal catalysis exhibits promising prospects to overcome the shortcomings of high-energy consumption of traditional thermal catalysis and the low efficiency of photocatalysis. However, there is still a challenge to develop catalysts with outstanding light absorption capability and photothermal conversion efficiency for the degradation of atmospheric pollutants. Herein, we introduced the Co3O4 layer and Pt nanoclusters into the three-dimensional (3D) porous membrane through the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique, leading to a Pt/Co3O4/AAO monolithic catalyst. The 3D ordered nanochannel structure can significantly enhance the solar absorption capacity through the light-trapping effect. Therefore, the embedded Pt/Co3O4 catalyst can be rapidly heated and the O2 adsorbed on the Pt clusters can be activated to generate sufficient O2- species, exhibiting outstanding activity for the diverse VOCs (toluene, acetone, and formaldehyde) degradation. Optical characterization and simulation calculation confirmed that Pt/Co3O4/AAO exhibited state-of-the-art light absorption and a notable localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectrometry (in situ DRIFTS) studies demonstrated that light irradiation can accelerate the conversion of intermediates during toluene and acetone oxidation, thereby inhibiting byproduct accumulation. Our finding extends the application of AAO's optical properties in photothermal catalytic degradation of air pollutants.

Abstract
Exploring the single relationship between the inversion degree of spinel and its catalytic performance is a great challenge, but has important significance for further structural design and application. A series of CoMn inverse spinels were prepared and the general formula [Formula: see text] was deduced through X-ray diffraction refinement to find a decreased inversion degree x as calcination temperature rose. Catalytic oxidation of toluene showed that higher inversion degree (S-300 with x ≈ 0.95) can reach larger conversion rate (90 % at about 250 °C for 400 ppm toluene) with greater reaction stability (140 h). Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations on density of states indicated its metallic nature, and found that the strength of O-p and Transition metal-d orbitals at Fermi energy is positively correlated to the inversion degree, meaning stronger electron migration ability. Along with the adsorption calculation analysis that lattice oxygen species are proved to work dominantly (S-300 with lowest adsorption energy but highest performance), this work uncovered a theoretical insight into inverse spinel oxide, to provide the possibility of elevated oxidation ability through structural control.

Abstract
VOCs can exert great harm to both human and environment, and catalytic oxidation is believed to be an effective technique to eliminate these pollutants. In this paper, Ag-Mn bimetal catalysts with 10 wt.% of silver were synthesized using doping, impregnation, and reduction methods respectively, and then they were applied to the catalytic oxidation of benzene. Through series of characterizations it showed that the loading of silver using reduction method significantly resulted in improved physico-chemical properties of manganese oxides, such as larger surface area and pore volume, higher proportion of surface Mn3+ and Mn4+, stronger reducibility and more active of surface oxygen species, which were all beneficial to its catalytic activity. As a result, the Ag-Mn catalysts synthesized by reduction method showed a lower T90 value (equals to the temperature at which 90% of initial benzene was removed) of 203°C. Besides, both the used and fresh Ag-Mn catalysts synthesized by reduction method showed preferable stability in this research.

Abstract
Trace activated carbon (AC) and diatomaceous earth (DE) were used as structural promoters to be incorporated into Ce-Mn-based solid-solution catalysts by the redox precipitation method. The modified catalysts exhibit superior reducibility, with abundant Ce3+, Mn3+and reactive oxygen species, which are facilitated to the migration of oxygen and the generation of oxygen vacancies. In particular, the catalytic combustion temperatures of 90 % toluene (3000 ppm) on Ce1Mn3Ox-AC/DE were 84 °C (dry) and 123 °C (10 vol% H2O), respectively. The role of lattice oxygen and adsorbed oxygen was revealed by in situ DRIFTS. Additionally, in situ DRIFTS was employed to verify that the degradation of toluene by Ce1Mn3Ox-AC/DE satisfied the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism and the Mars-Van Krevelen (MvK) mechanism. The possible reaction pathway was elucidated (toluene → benzyl alcohol → benzoic acid → maleic anhydride → CO2 + H2O). Furthermore, final products attributed to toluene oxidation were detected by in situ DRIFTS at 50 °C in the absence of oxygen, confirming that the catalyst possessed outstanding performance at low temperatures beyond mere adsorption.

Abstract
Direct photocatalytic reduction of toxic formaldehyde (HCHO) in value-added chemicals and fuels is promising because that not only abates the environmental pollution, but also solves the energy shortage. Herein, self-supported MoO2 and MoO3 nanoparticles growing on Mo meshes were comparatively applied to the photocatalytic conversion of HCHO. Under UV-visble lights, MoO2 reduces HCHO in methanol (CH3OH) while MoO3 oxidizes HCHO in carbon oxide and water. Their contrary photocatalytic capacities were revealed. Compared with MoO3, the lower work function of MoO2 enables an electron-rich interface, realizing a complete reduction of 30 ppm HCHO to CH3OH in 30 min. Theoretical calculations clarify that a large number of delocalized electrons on MoO2 attracts HCHO molecule and activates its CO bond, facilitating subsequent hydrogenation and reduction of HCHO to CH3OH. As for MoO3, the wider bandgap and higher potential of valence band govern the photocatalytic oxidation of HCHO.

Abstract
The rapid accumulation of plastic waste has led to a severe environmental crisis and a noticeable imbalance between manufacturing and recycling. Fortunately, chemical upgradation of plastic waste holds substantial promise for addressing these challenges posed by white pollution. During plastic upcycling and recycling, the key challenge is to activate and cleave the inert C-C bonds in plastic waste. Therefore, this perspective delves deeper into the upcycling and recycling of polyolefins from the angle of C-C activation-cleavage. We illustrate the importance of C-C bond activation in polyolefin depolymerization and integrate molecular-level catalysis, active site modulation, reaction networks and mechanisms to achieve precise activation-cleavage of C-C bonds. Notably, we draw potential inspiration from the accumulated wisdom of related fields, such as C-C bond activation in lignin chemistry, alkane dehydrogenation chemistry, C-Cl bond activation in CVOC removal, and C-H bond activation, to influence the landscape of plastic degradation through cross-disciplinary perspectives. Consequently, this perspective offers better insights into existing catalytic technologies and unveils new prospects for future advancements in recycling and upcycling of plastic.

Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the main classes of air pollutants, and it is important to develop efficient adsorbents to remove them from the atmosphere. To do this most efficiently, we need to understand the mechanism of VOC adsorption. In this work, we described how the metal organic framework (MOF), ZIF-8, was used as a precursor to generate MOF derivatives (Zn-GC) through temperature-controlled calcination, which had adjustable metal sites and hierarchical pore structure. It was used as a model adsorbent to study the adsorption and desorption characteristics of different VOCs. Zn-GC-850 with developed pores exhibited higher adsorption performance for the benzene series, whereas Zn-GC-650 with more metal sites had a better adsorption capacity for oxygen-containing VOCs. By tuning the molecular structure of the VOCs, we revealed the adsorption mechanism of different VOCs at the molecular level. The more developed hierarchical pore structure obtained at the higher temperature facilitates the diffusion of the benzene series, and the noncovalent interaction between their methyl group(s) and the carbonized MOF derivatives improves the adsorption affinity; while the higher exposure of Zn sites obtained at lower temperature favors the adsorption of oxygen-containing VOCs by Zn-O bonds. The mass transfers of VOCs and the role of the adsorbent were simulated by multiple theoretical models. This study strengthens the basis for the design and optimization of the adsorbent and catalyst for VOCs treatment.

Abstract
Facile synthesis of hierarchically porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with adjustable porosity and high crystallinity attracts great attention yet remains challenging. Herein, a micromolar amount of dye-based modulator (Rhodamine B (RhB)) is employed to easily and controllably tailor the pore size of a Ti-based metal-organic framework (MIL-125-NH2 ). The RhB used in this method is easily removed by washing or photodegradation, avoiding secondary posttreatment. It is demonstrated that the carboxyl functional group and the steric effects of RhB are indispensable for enlarging the pore size of the MIL-125-NH2 . The resulting hierarchically porous MIL-125-NH2 (RH-MIL-125-NH2 ) exhibits optimized adsorption and photocatalytic activity because the newly formed mesopore with defects concurrently facilitates mass transport of guest molecules (toluene) and photogenerated charge separation. This work offers a meaningful basis for the construction of hierarchically porous MOFs and demonstrates the superiority of the hierarchical pore structure for adsorption and heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
In catalytic oxidation reactions, the presence of environmental water poses challenges to the performance of Pt catalysts. This study aims to overcome this challenge by introducing hydroxyl groups onto the surface of Pt catalysts using the pyrolysis reduction method. Two silica supports were employed to investigate the impact of hydroxyl groups: SiO2-OH with hydroxyl groups and SiO2-C without hydroxyl groups. Structural characterization confirmed the presence of Pt-Ox, Pt-OHx, and Pt0 species in the Pt/SiO2-OH catalysts, while only Pt-Ox and Pt0 species were observed in the Pt/SiO2-C catalysts. Catalytic performance tests demonstrated the remarkable capacity of the 0.5 wt % Pt/SiO2-OH catalyst, achieving complete conversion of benzene at 160 °C under a high space velocity of 60,000 h-1. Notably, the catalytic oxidation capacity of the Pt/SiO2-OH catalyst remained largely unaffected even in the presence of 10 vol % water vapor. Moreover, the catalyst exhibited exceptional recyclability and stability, maintaining its performance over 16 repeated cycles and a continuous operation time of 70 h. Theoretical calculations revealed that the construction of Pt-OHx sites on the catalyst surface was beneficial for modulating the d-band structure, which in turn enhanced the adsorption and activation of reactants. This finding highlights the efficacy of decorating the Pt surface with hydroxyl groups as an effective strategy for improving the water resistance, catalytic activity, and long-term stability of Pt catalysts.

Abstract
Advancing the practical application of catalytic oxidation technology demands for illustrating the synchronous conversion behavior of various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) over catalysts. Here, the mutual effects of benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX) were examined for their synchronous conversion on the surface of the MnO2 nanowire. Competitive adsorption of xylene (absorption energy (Eads): -0.889 eV) facilitated its prior conversion and impeded the oxidization of toluene and benzene over the catalyst. The turnover frequencies were 0.52 min-1 (benzene), 0.90 min-1 (toluene) and 2.42 min-1 (xylene) for mixed BTX conversion over the MnO2. Doping MnO2 with K+, Na+ and Ca2+ could enhance its ability to oxidize the individual VOCs but did not alter the conversion mechanism of mixed BTX over the catalyst. When reducing the competitive effects in the adsorption of BTX, the oxidation performance of catalysts would depend on their ability to oxidize toluene and benzene. K-MnO2 showed superior properties, i.e. specific surface area, highly low-valent Mn species, high lattice oxygen content, and abundant oxygen vacancy, and then exhibited superior performance during long-term operation (90% conversion in 800 min). The present study uncovered the co-conversion mechanism of multiple VOCs and significantly leveraged the catalytic oxidization technology for VOCs removal in practical application.

Abstract
Defects engineering in metal oxide is an important avenue for the promotion of VOCs catalytic oxidation. Herein, the influence of crystal facet of Co3O4 is first investigated for the propane oxidation. An intelligent Cu doping is subsequently performed in the most active (110) facet exposed Co3O4 catalyst. The optimized Cu-Co3O4-110-3 catalyst exhibits a prominently enhanced activity with propane conversion rate of 1.9 μmol g-1 s-1 at reaction temperature of 192 °C and the propane mass space velocity of 60,000 mL g-1 h-1, about 2.4 times that of the pristine Co3O4. Systematic experimental characterizations (XAS, EPR, Raman, TPR, XPS, etc.) combined with density functional theory calculations point out that the incorporated Cu could increase the electrophilicity of nearby O atom and implant beneficial defect structures (lattice distortion, coordination unsaturation, abundant oxygen vacancies, etc.), which could significantly activate Co-O bond in Co3O4, leading to the facilitated generation of active oxygen species as well as promoted oxidation ability. This study could set an illuminating paradigm for the boost of the intrinsic oxidation activity by the precise defect construction in Co3O4 catalyst, which will help drive ahead the pursuit of non-precious metal catalyst for VOCs abatement.

Abstract
Catalytic combustion has been known to be an effective technique in volatile organic compound (VOC) abatement. Developing monolithic catalysts with high activity at low temperatures is vital yet challenging in industrial applications. Herein, monolithic MnO2-Ov/CF catalysts were fabricated via the in situ growth of K2CuFe(CN)6 (CuFePBA, a family of metal-organic frames) over copper foam (CF) followed by a redox-etching route. The as-synthesized monolith MnO2-Ov-0.04/CF catalyst displays a superior low-temperature activity (T90% = 215 °C) and robust durability for toluene elimination even in the presence of 5 vol % water. Experimental results reveal that the CuFePBA template not only guides the in situ growth of δ-MnO2 with high loading over CF but also acts as a source of dopant to create more oxygen vacancies and weaken the strength of the Mn-O bond, which considerably improves the oxygen activation ability of δ-MnO2 and consequently boosts the low-temperature catalytic activity of the monolith MnO2-Ov-0.04/CF toward toluene oxidation. In addition, the reaction intermediate and proposed mechanism in the MnO2-Ov-0.04/CF mediated catalytic oxidation process were investigated. This study provides new insights into the development of highly active monolithic catalysts for the low-temperature oxidation of VOCs.

Abstract
Porous LaFeO3 powders were produced by high-temperature calcination of LaFeO3 precursors obtained by hydrothermal treatment of corresponding nitrates in the presence of citric acid. Four LaFeO3 powders calcinated at different temperatures were mixed with appropriate amounts of kaolinite, carboxymethyl cellulose, glycerol and active carbon for the preparation of monolithic LaFeO3 by extrusion. Porous LaFeO3 powders were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen absorption/desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Among the four monolithic LaFeO3 catalysts, the catalyst calcinated at 700 °C showed the best catalytic activity for the catalytic oxidation of toluene at 36,000 mL/(g∙h), and the corresponding T10%, T50% and T90% was 76 °C, 253 °C and 420 °C, respectively. The catalytic performance is attributed to the larger specific surface area (23.41 m2/g), higher surface adsorption of oxygen concentration and larger Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio associated with LaFeO3 calcined at 700 °C.

Abstract
Catalytic decomposition of aromatic polluters at room temperature represents a green route for air purification but is currently challenged by the difficulty of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) on catalysts. Herein, we develop a mullite catalyst YMn2O5 (YMO) with dual active sites of Mn3+ and Mn4+ and use ozone to produce a highly reactive O* upon YMO. Such a strong oxidant species on YMO shows complete removal of benzene from -20 to >50 °C with a high COx selectivity (>90%) through the generated reactive species O* on the catalyst surface (60 000 mL g-1 h-1). Although the accumulation of water and intermediates gradually lowers the reaction rate after 8 h at 25 °C, a simple treatment by ozone purging or drying in the ambient environment regenerates the catalyst. Importantly, when the temperature increases to 50 °C, the catalytic performance remains 100% conversion without any degradation for 30 h. Experiments and theoretical calculations show that such a superior performance stems from the unique coordination environment, which ensures high generation of ROS and adsorption of aromatics. Mullite's catalytic ozonation degradation of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) is applied in a home-developed air cleaner, resulting in high efficiency of benzene removal. This work provides insights into the design of catalysts to decompose highly stable organic polluters.

Abstract
La1-xCoO3-δ catalysts with different non-stoichiometry of lanthanum ions were synthesized by using the sol-gel method, and their catalytic performance in toluene combustion was investigated. The results showed that the catalytic activity and stability of A-site nonstoichiometric La1-xCoO3-δ were improved to a certain extent compared with pure LaCoO3 perovskite. Among them, the La0.9CoO3-δ catalyst gave the best catalytic performance for toluene oxidation. It achieved 90% toluene conversion at 205°C under the conditions of a WHSV (weight hourly space velocity) of 22,500 mL/(g·hr) and a 500 ppmV-toluene concentration. Various characterization techniques were used to investigate the relationship between the structure of these catalysts and their catalytic performance. It was found that the non-stoichiometric modification of the lanthanum ion at position A in LaCoO3 changed the surface element state of the catalyst and increased the oxygen vacancy content, thus, combined with improved reducibility, improving toluene degradation on the catalyst.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (HCHO: FA) is one of the most abundant but hazardous gaseous pollutants. Transition metal oxide (TMO)-based thermocatalysts have gained much attention in its removal due to their excellent thermal stability and cost-effectiveness. Herein, a comprehensive review is offered to highlight the current progress in TMO-based thermocatalysts (e.g., manganese, cerium, cobalt, and their composites) in association with the strategies established for catalytic removal of FA. Efforts are hence made to describe the interactive role of key factors (e.g., exposed crystal facets, alkali metal/nitrogen modification, type of precursors, and alkali/acid treatment) governing the catalytic activity of TMO-based thermocatalysts against FA. Their performance has been evaluated further between two distinctive operation conditions (i.e., low versus high temperature) based on computational metrics such as reaction rate. Accordingly, the superiority of TMO-based composite catalysts over mono- and bi-metallic TMO catalysts is evident to reflect the abundant surface oxygen vacancies and enhanced FA adsorptivity of the former group. Finally, the present challenges and future prospects for TMO-based catalysts are discussed with respect to the catalytic oxidation of FA. This review is expected to offer valuable information to design and build high performance catalysts for the efficient degradation of volatile organic compounds.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 455:131515. [PMID: 37167871 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
Enhancing the generation of active groups is of great significance for alleviating the catalyst deactivation of formaldehyde (HCHO) by accelerating the decomposition of intermediate products. Herein, an electric-field-enhanced catalytic effect was proposed for the efficient capture and degradation of HCHO base on carbon cloth loaded manganese oxide catalyst (MnOx-CC). Under the action of electric field, MnOx can generate more hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and superoxide radicals (•O2-), thus accelerating the degradation of HCHO and intermediates at room temperature. After the introduction electric field (∼1 ×104 V/m), •O2- and •OH radical on the surface of MnOx-CC catalyst can be increased by 8 times and 23 times, respectively. At weight hourly space velocity of 300,000 mL/(gcat h) for ∼15 ppm HCHO, MnOx-CC-Electric Field catalyst reached the removal efficiency of 99.4%, and the CO2 conversion efficiency of 81.2%, without decrease significantly within 80 h. Theoretical calculation shows that the electric field can increase the electron state density of Mn atom at the Fermi level and reduce the adsorption energy of HCHO, O2 and H2O, thus promoting the generation of active groups and degradation of intermediate products. The electric-field-enhancement catalytic effect provides a new approach for the degradation of Volatile Organic Compounds.

Abstract
As an important component of air pollution, the efficient removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is one of the most important challenges in the world. VOCs are harmful to the environment and human health. This review systematically introduced the main VOC control technologies and research hotspots in recent years, and expanded the description of electrocatalytic oxidation technology and bimetallic catalytic removal technology. Based on a three-dimensional electrode reactor, the theoretical design of a VOC removal control technology using bimetallic three-dimensional particle electrode electrocatalytic oxidation was proposed for the first time. The future research focus of this method was analyzed, and the importance of in-depth exploration of the catalytic performance of particle electrodes and the system reaction mechanism was emphasized. This review provides a new idea for using clean and efficient methods to remove VOCs.

Abstract
The degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at low temperature remains a big challenge. Photothermal catalysis coupling the advantages of photocatalysis and thermocatalysis is promising to address this issue. However, there is still a long way to construct highly active catalysts and deeply understand the mechanism of photothermal catalysis. Herein, maganese oxide (MnO2)catalysts embedded with Pt single-atoms (0.11 wt% Pt) have achieved greatly enhanced toluene conversion of 95%, far surpassing most supported Pt photothermal catalysts. The excellent catalytic activity has been disclosed to derive from the synergetic effect oflight-driven thermocatalysis and photocatalysis. The light-driven thermocatalysis predominates and the strong electron transfer from Pt single-atoms to MnO2 improves the activity of surface lattice oxygen to boost the generation of benzoic acid and the mineralization of toluene. Meanwhile, in photocatalytic process, Pt single-atoms accelerate the generation of superoxide radicals (O2-), which facilitate the ring-opening and deep oxidation of toluene. This understanding on the photothermal synergetic mechanism will inspire the design of highly efficient catalysts for VOCs oxidation.

Abstract
The alternative use of electric energy by renewable energy to supply power for catalytic oxidation of pollutants is a sustainable technology, requiring a competent catalyst to realize efficient utilization of light and drive the catalytic reaction. Herein, in situ-synthesized manganese oxide heterostructure composites are developed through solvothermal reduction and subsequent calcination of amorphous manganese oxide (AMO). 95% of toluene conversion and 80% of CO2 mineralization were achieved over amorphous manganese oxide calcined at 250 °C (AMO-250) under light irradiation, and catalyst stability was maintained for at least 40 h. Highly utilization of light energy, uniformly dispersed nanoparticles, large specific surface area, improved metal reducibility, and oxygen desorption and migration ability at low temperature contribute to the good catalytic oxidation activity of AMO-250. Light activated more lattice oxygen to participate in the reaction via the Mars-van Krevelen (MvK) mechanism, and traditional e--h+ photocatalytic behavior exists over the AMO-250 heterostructure composite as an auxiliary degradation path. The reaction pathways of photothermocatalysis and thermocatalysis are close, except for the emergence of different copolymers, where light enhances the deep conversion of intermediates. A proof-of-concept study under natural sunlight has confirmed the feasibility of practical application in the photothermocatalytic degradation of pollutants.

Abstract
Photothermal catalysis has an advantage in effective and economical elimination technology of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the ascendant. Herein, various surface defect engineering routes were adopted to enhance the low-temperature propane oxidation of δ-MnO2. Compared to reducing etchants urea and vitamin C, δ-MnO2 treated with urea - H2O2 exhibited an excellent thermal (T90 = 240 ℃) and photothermal (T90 = 196 ℃) activities of propane oxidation. Urea - H2O2 treatment provided high concentration of Mn4+ and surface-active oxygen (Mn4+-Osur) species as surface-active sites, and produced numerous oxygen vacancies to improve charge separation and superoxide species generation capacity. Thus, the photothermal conversion efficiency and low-temperature reducibility were remarkably enhanced. Furthermore, the photothermal synergistic catalytic mechanism was proposed based on in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and control experiments. The strategy here offered insight into the rational design of efficient transition catalysts, and in-depth understanding of the photothermal catalytic VOCs removal mechanism.

Abstract
As a kind of emerging pollutant, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are getting increasing attention due to their contribution to the formation of atmospheric haze and O3. Photocatalytic oxidation under vacuum ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation (VUV-PCO) presents a promising method for VOCs degradation, but it is seldom studied for VOCs compound and the mechanism is still elusive. Herein, typical VOCs such as toluene and ethyl acetate were degraded separately or together in VUV system and in VUV-PCO system with the designed trifunctional catalyst Mn/TiO2/ZSM-5. Intermediates were recognized by PTR-TOF-MS. It is found that dual VOCs mixture outperformed single VOCs under both VUV process and VUV-PCO process. Possible degradation mechanisms were proposed. To explore the potential practicality of VUV-PCO technology, scale-up synthesis of Mn/TiO2/ZSM-5 on ceramic foams was successfully carried out and assembled into a homemade pilot-scale VUV-PCO equipment for the control of simulated VOCs complex (toluene, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and acetone). Pilot-scale catalytic testing with the monolithic catalysts achieved high removal efficiency (over 90 % efficiency after two cycles of regeneration) and confirmed the practical application possibility of VUV-PCO technology in multiple VOCs degradation. This work probes into the VUV-PCO technology applicability from lab scale to pilot scale and promotes the understanding of VUV and VUV-PCO in VOCs complex decomposition.

Abstract
The MnOх-ZrO2-CeO2 oxide catalysts were synthesized by co-precipitation method with varying (1) Zr/Zr + Ce molar ratio at constant manganese content of 0.3; (2) manganese content at constant Zr/Ce molar ratio of 1; (3) Mn/Mn + Zr molar ratio at constant Ce content of 0.5. Catalysts are characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption, TPR, and XPS. The catalytic activity of all the series was tested in the CO and propane oxidation reactions. In contrast to the variation of the manganese content, the Zr/Zr + Ce molar ratio does not significantly affect the catalytic properties. The dependence of the catalytic activity in CO oxidation on the manganese content has a «volcano» shape, and the best catalytic performance is exhibited by the catalyst with Mn/(Zr + Ce) = 1. In the case of propane oxidation reaction, there is «sigma» like dependence, activity increases with increase of Mn/(Mn + Zr + Ce) molar ratio up to 0.3, stabilizing with a further increase in the manganese content. XRD and XPS have shown that with an increase of the Mn concentration in the MnOx-ZrO2-CeO2 catalysts, the amount of crystalline manganese oxides such as Mn2O3 and Mn3O4, as well as the surface concentration of Mn cations, increases. While the content of MnxZryCe1-x-yO2 solid solution decreases, the concentration of manganese cations (x) in volume of MnxZryCe1-x-yO2 mixed oxide grows. The maximum activity in CO oxidation corresponds to the balance between the amount of the solid solution and the concentration of manganese cations in the volume of mixed oxide. The propane oxidation reaction is less sensitive to the state of manganese ion rather than to its amount. In this case, a decrease in the content of the MnxZryCe1-x-yO2 solid solution with increase in manganese amount in catalyst is compensated by an increase in content of crystalline manganese oxides and the surface concentration of manganese.

Abstract
Series of α, β, γ, δ type MnO2 supported on LaMnO3 perovskite was developed by a one-pot synthesis route. Compared with α-MnO2, β-MnO2, γ-MnO2, δ-MnO2 and LaMnO3 oxides, all MnO2/LaMnO3 showed promotional catalytic performance for toluene degradation. Among them, α-MnO2/LaMnO3 holds the best active and mineralization efficiency. By the analysis of N2 adsorption-desorption, XPS and H2-TPR, it can be inferred that the improved activity should be ascribed to the higher proportion of lattice oxygen, better low-temperature reducibility and larger specific surface area. Besides, the byproducts from the low-temperature reaction of toluene oxidation were detected by a TD/GC-MS, confirming the presence of the intermediates. Combined with the in-situ DRIFTS, the catalytic degradation path of toluene oxidation has also been discussed in depth.

Abstract
Cost-efficient and durable manganese-based catalysts are in great demand for the catalytic elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are dominated not only by the nanostructures but also by the oxygen vacancies and Mn-O bond in the catalysts. Herein, a series of nanostructured Co-Fe-doped-δ-MnO2 catalysts (Co-Fe-δ-MnO2) with high dispersion were in situ fabricated by employing metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs) as reducing agents, dopants, and templates all at the same time. The as-obtained Co-Fe-δ-MnO2-20% catalyst exhibited robust durability and high catalytic activity (225 °C) for toluene combustion even in the presence of 5 vol % water vapor, which is 50 °C lower than that of pristine δ-MnO2. Various characterizations revealed that the homogeneously dispersed codoping of Co and Fe ions into δ-MnO2 promotes the generation of oxygen vacancies and weakens the strength of the Mn-O bond, thus increasing the amount of adsorbed oxygen (Oads) and improving the mobility of lattice oxygen (Olatt). Meanwhile, due to successfully inheriting the framework structures of MOFs, the obtained catalyst exhibited a high surface area and three-dimensional mesoporous structure, which contributes to diffusion and increases the number of active sites. Moreover, in situ DRIFTS results confirmed that the toluene degradation mechanism on the Co-Fe-δ-MnO2-20% follows the MVK mechanism and revealed that more Oads and high-mobility Olatt induced by this novel method contribute to accumulating and mineralizing key intermediates (benzoate) and thus promote toluene oxidation. In conclusion, this work stimulates the opportunities to develop Co-Fe-δ-MnO2 as a class of nonprecious-metal-based catalysts for controlling VOC emissions.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is regarded as one of the most promising technologies for indoor volatile organic compounds (VOCs) elimination due to its low cost, safe operation, energy efficiency, and high mineralization efficiency under ambient conditions. However, the practical applications of this technology are limited, despite considerable research efforts in recent decades. Until now, most of the works were carried out in the laboratory and focused on exploring new catalytic materials. Only a few works involved the immobilization of catalysts and the design of reactors for practical applications. Therefore, this review systematically summarizes the research and development on photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) of VOCs, with emphasis on recent catalyst's immobilization and reactor designs in detail. First, different types of photocatalytic materials and the mechanisms for PCO of VOCs are briefly discussed. Then, both the catalyst's immobilization techniques and reactor designs are reviewed in detail. Finally, the existing challenges and future perspectives for PCO of VOCs are proposed. This work aims to provide updated information and research inspirations for the commercialization of this technology in the future.

Abstract
The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cooking oil fumes are very complex and do harm to humans and the environment. Herein, we develop the high-efficiency and energy-saving synergistic photothermocatalytic oxidation approach to eliminate the mixture of heptane and hexanal, the representative VOCs with high concentrations in cooking oil fumes. The Pt/CeO2/TiO2 catalyst with nanosized Pt particles was prepared by the simple hydrothermal and impregnation methods, and the physicochemical properties of the catalyst were measured using numerous techniques. The Pt/CeO2/TiO2 catalyst eliminated the VOC mixture at low light intensity (100 mW cm-2) and low temperature (200 °C). In addition, it showed 25 h of catalytic stability and water resistance (water concentration up to 20 vol %) at 140 or 190 °C. It is concluded that O2 picked up the electrons from Pt to generate the •O2- species, which were transformed to the O22- and O- species after the rise in temperature. In the presence of water, the •OH species induced by light irradiation on the catalyst surface and the •OOH species formed via the thermal reaction were both supplementary oxygen species for VOC oxidation. The synergistic interaction of photo- and thermocatalysis was generated by the reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the first reported thermocatalytic oxidation of an indoor volatile organic compound (VOC), acetaldehyde, by harnessing the waste-heat energy from indoor light sources (e.g., halogen lamps) without additional energy inputs. With an optimal Pt-TiO2 catalyst, the designed catalyst-coated lampshade was successfully activated under waste-heat energy (∼120 °C) and achieved the complete mineralization of CH3CHO into CO2 (k = 0.02 min-1). The catalytic activity of Pt-TiO2 was extremely dependent on its preparation method which greatly influenced the characteristics (e.g., oxidation state and size) of Pt. The thermocatalytic oxidation mechanism of CH3CHO over Pt-TiO2 was investigated, which revealed that O2 and H2O sources play vital roles. Although Pt is an expensive noble metal, the thermocatalytic process on the Pt-TiO2-coated lampshade without additional energy, along with its outstanding activity, can offset the high material cost. The proposed strategy offers a sustainable and feasible method for the degradation of indoor VOCs.
