In situ organic Fenton-like catalysis triggered by anodic polymeric intermediates for electrochemical water purification.

ABSTRACT: Organic Fenton-like catalysis has been recently developed for water purification, but redox-active compounds have to be ex situ added as oxidant activators, causing secondary pollution problem. Electrochemical oxidation is widely used for pollutant degradation, but suffers from severe electrode fouling caused by high-resistance polymeric intermediates. Herein, we develop an in situ organic Fenton-like catalysis by using the redox-active polymeric intermediates, e.g., benzoquinone, hydroquinone, and quinhydrone, generated in electrochemical pollutant oxidation as H₂O₂ activators. By taking phenol as a target pollutant, we demonstrate that the in situ organic Fenton-like catalysis not only improves pollutant degradation, but also refreshes working electrode with a better catalytic stability. Both ¹O₂ nonradical and ·OH radical are generated in the anodic phenol conversion in the in situ organic Fenton-like catalysis. Our findings might provide a new opportunity to develop a simple, efficient, and cost-effective strategy for electrochemical water purification.

In situ electrochemical synthesis of Pd aerogels as highly efficient anodic electrocatalysts for alkaline fuel cells.

Project description:Improving the utilization of noble metals is extremely urgent for fuel cell electrocatalysis, while three-dimensional hierarchical noble metal aerogels with abundant sites and channels are proposed to reinforce their electrocatalytic performances and decrease their amounts. Herein, novel Pd aerogels with tunable surface chemical states were prepared through a facile in situ electrochemical activation, starting with PdO x aerogels by the hydrolysis method. The hierarchical porous Pd aerogels showed unprecedented high activity towards the electrocatalytic oxidation of fuels including methanol (2.99 A mgPd-1), ethanol (8.81 A mgPd-1), and others in alkali, outperforming commercial catalysts (7.12- and 13.66-fold, corresponding to methanol and ethanol). Theoretical investigation unveiled the hybrid surface states with metallic and oxidized Pd species in Pd aerogels to regulate the adsorption of intermediates and facilitate the synergistic oxidation of adsorbed *CO, resulting in enhanced activity with the MOR as the model. Therefore, efficient Pd aerogels through the in situ electrochemical activation of PdO x aerogels were proposed and showed great potential for fuel cell anodic electrocatalysis.

Anodic oxidation triggered divergent 1,2- and 1,4-group transfer reactions of β-hydroxycarboxylic acids enabled by electrochemical regulation.

Project description:We report a set of electrochemically regulated protocols for the divergent synthesis of ketones and β-keto esters from the same β-hydroxycarboxylic acid starting materials. Enabled by electrochemical control, the anodic oxidation of carboxylic acids proceeded in either a one-electron or a two-electron pathway, leading to a 1,4-aryl transfer or a semipinacol-type 1,2-group transfer product with excellent chemoselectivity. The 1,4-aryl transfer represents an unprecedented example of carbon-to-oxygen group transfer proceeding via a radical mechanism. In contrast to previously reported radical group transfer reactions, this 1,4-group transfer process features the migration of electron-rich aryl substituents. Furthermore, with these chemoselective electrochemical oxidation protocols, a range of ketones and β-keto esters including those possessing a challenging-to-access medium-sized ring could be synthesized in excellent yields.

Fenton Oxidation Kinetics and Intermediates of Nonylphenol Ethoxylates.

Project description:Removal of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs) in aqueous solution by Fenton oxidation process was studied in a laboratory-scale batch reactor. Operating parameters, including initial pH temperature, hydrogen peroxide, and ferrous ion dosage, were thoroughly investigated. Maximum NPEOs reduction of 84% was achieved within 6?min, under an initial pH of 3.0, 25°C, an H2O2 dosage of 9.74×10(-3) M, and a molar ratio of [H2O2]/[Fe(2+)] of 3. A modified pseudo-first-order kinetic model was found to well represent experimental results. Correlations of reaction rate constants and operational parameters were established based on experimental data. Results indicated that the Fenton oxidation rate and removal efficiency were more dependent on the dosage of H2O2 than Fe(2+), and the apparent activation energy (?E) was 17.5?kJ/mol. High-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatograph mass spectrometer analytical results indicated degradation of NPEOs obtained within the first 2?min stepwise occurred by ethoxyl (EO) unit shortening. Long-chain NPEOs mixture demonstrated a higher degradation rate than shorter-chain ones. Nonylphenol (NP), short-chain NPEOs, and NP carboxyethoxylates were identified as the primary intermediates, which were mostly further degraded.

Photothermal conversion triggered thermal asymmetric catalysis within metal nanoparticles loaded homochiral covalent organic framework.

Project description:For seeking high enantiopurity, the previously reported thermal asymmetric catalysis is usually carried out at low temperature sometimes with limited yield, that is, the high enantiomeric excess (ee) usually at the cost of high yield. Thus, the achieving both high stereoselectivity and yield is an enormous challenge. We report herein two metal nanoparticle (M NP)-loaded and porphyrin-containing homochiral covalent organic framework (CCOF)-based composite catalysts, and their application in the thermally-driven asymmetric one-pot Henry and A3-coupling reactions. All the reactions are conducted at elevated temperatures with both excellent stereoselectivity and yield which resulted from the synergy of CCOF confinement effect and M NP catalytic activation. Notably, the needed thermal energy for the asymmetric reactions herein is derived from the photothermal conversion via porphyrin-based CCOF upon irradiation with visible light. Remarkably, the CCOF confinement effect can be effectively maintained up to 100 °C for the asymmetric one-pot Henry and A3-coupling reactions herein.

A 2D Convection-Diffusion Model of Anodic Oxidation of Organic Compounds Mediated by Hydroxyl Radicals Using Porous Reactive Electrochemical Membrane.

Project description:In recent years, electrochemical methods utilizing reactive electrochemical membranes (REM) have been considered as a promising technology for efficient degradation and mineralization of organic compounds in natural, industrial and municipal wastewaters. In this paper, we propose a two-dimensional (2D) convection-diffusion-reaction model concerning the transport and reaction of organic species with hydroxyl radicals generated at a TiOx REM operated in flow-through mode. It allows the determination of unknown parameters of the system by treatment of experimental data and predicts the behavior of the electrolysis setup. There is a good agreement in the calculated and experimental degradation rate of a model pollutant at different permeate fluxes and current densities. The model also provides an understanding of the current density distribution over an electrically heterogeneous surface and its effect on the distribution profile of hydroxyl radicals and diluted species. It was shown that the percentage of the removal of paracetamol increases with decreasing the pore radius and/or increasing the porosity. The effect becomes more pronounced as the current density increases. The model highlights how convection, diffusion and reaction limitations have to be taken into consideration for understanding the effectiveness of the process.

Main group catalysis for H<sub>2</sub> purification based on liquid organic hydrogen carriers.

Project description:Molecular hydrogen (H2) is one of the most important energy carriers. In the midterm future, a huge amount of H2 will be produced from a variety of hydrocarbon sources through conversion and removal of contaminants such as CO and CO2. However, bypassing these purification processes is desirable, given their energy consumption and environmental impact, which ultimately increases the cost of H2. Here, we demonstrate a strategy to separate H2 from a gaseous mixture of H2/CO/CO2/CH4 that can include an excess of CO and CO2 relative to H2 and simultaneously store it in N-heterocyclic compounds that act as liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), which can be applied to produce H2 by subsequent dehydrogenation. Our results demonstrate that LOHCs can potentially be used for H2 purification from CO- and CO2-rich crude H2 in addition to their well-established use in H2 storage.

Acid-triggered interlayer sliding of two-dimensional copper(i)-organic frameworks: more metal sites for catalysis.

Project description:The interlay sliding of two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic and covalent-organic frameworks (MOFs and COFs) affects not only the layout features of the structures, but also the functional output of the materials. However, the control of interlay stacking is the major hurdle that needs to be overcome to construct new functional layer materials. Herein, we report the preparation of a pair of isostructural 2D copper(i) organic frameworks with an eclipsed AA stacking structure, namely JNM-3-AA, and a staggered ABC stacking topology, denoted JNM-3-ABC, by combining the chemistry of MOFs and COFs. The variation of interlayer stacking largely influences their functionality, including porosity (BET surface areas of 695.61 and 34.22 m2 g-1 for JNM-3-AA and JNM-3-ABC, respectively), chemical stability, and catalytic activities (less than 10% or ∼86% yield using JNM-3-AA or JNM-3-ABC as catalysts for click reaction, respectively). More interestingly, the structure transformation from JNM-3-ABC to JNM-3-AA is readily achieved by simple addition of trifluoroacetic acid accompanied by the extension of porosities from BET surface areas of 34.22 to 441.22 m2 g-1, resulting in in situ acceleration of the adoption rate (removal efficiency increases from ∼10 to 99.9%), which is rarely observed in 2D MOFs and COFs.

Singlet oxygen mediated iron-based Fenton-like catalysis under nanoconfinement.

Project description:For several decades, the iron-based Fenton-like catalysis has been believed to be mediated by hydroxyl radicals or high-valent iron-oxo species, while only sporadic evidence supported the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) in the Haber-Weiss cycle. Herein, we report an unprecedented singlet oxygen mediated Fenton-like process catalyzed by ∼2-nm Fe2O3 nanoparticles distributed inside multiwalled carbon nanotubes with inner diameter of ∼7 nm. Unlike the traditional Fenton-like processes, this delicately designed system was shown to selectively oxidize the organic dyes that could be adsorbed with oxidation rates linearly proportional to the adsorption affinity. It also exhibited remarkably higher degradation activity (22.5 times faster) toward a model pollutant methylene blue than its nonconfined analog. Strikingly, the unforeseen stability at pH value up to 9.0 greatly expands the use of Fenton-like catalysts in alkaline conditions. This work represents a fundamental breakthrough toward the design and understanding of the Fenton-like system under nanoconfinement, might cause implications in other fields, especially in biological systems.

Disposable copper-based electrochemical sensor for anodic stripping voltammetry.

Project description:In this work, we report the first copper-based point-of-care sensor for electrochemical measurements demonstrated by zinc determination in blood serum. Heavy metals require careful monitoring, yet current methods are too complex for a point-of-care system. Electrochemistry offers a simple approach to metal detection on the microscale, but traditional carbon, gold (Au), or platinum (Pt) electrodes are difficult or expensive to microfabricate, preventing widespread use. Our sensor features a new low-cost electrode material, copper, which offers simple fabrication and compatibility with microfabrication and PCB processing, while maintaining competitive performance in electrochemical detection. Anodic stripping voltammetry of zinc using our new copper-based sensors exhibited a 140 nM (9.0 ppb) limit of detection (calculated) and sensitivity greater than 1 ?A/?M in the acetate buffer. The sensor was also able to determine zinc in a bovine serum extract, and the results were verified with independent sensor measurements. These results demonstrate the advantageous qualities of this lab-on-a-chip electrochemical sensor for clinical applications, which include a small sample volume (?L scale), reduced cost, short response time, and high accuracy at low concentrations of analyte.
