Hydrothermal Synthesis of Co3O4–Graphene for Heterogeneous Activation of Peroxymonosulfate for Decomposition of Phenol

Yao, Yunjin, Yang, Zeheng, Sun, Hongqi, Wang, Shaobin·2012·Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research

Abstract

This paper reports the synthesis of Co 3 O 4 –reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybrids and the catalytic performance in heterogeneous activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the decomposition of phenol. The surface morphologies and structures of the Co 3 O 4 –rGO hybrids were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Through an in situ chemical deposition and reduction, Co 3 O 4 –rGO hybrids with Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles at an average size of 33 nm were produced. Catalytic testing showed that 20 mg/L of phenol could be completely oxidized in 20 min at 25 °C on Co 3 O 4 –rGO hybrids, which is mostly attributed to the generation of sulfate radicals through Co 3 O 4 -mediated activation of PMS. Phenol oxidation was fitted by a pseudo-zero-order kinetic model. The rate constant was found to increase with increasing temperature and PMS dosage, but to decrease with increasing initial phenol concentration. The combination of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles with graphene sheets leads to much higher catalytic activity than pure Co 3 O 4 . rGO plays an important role in Co 3 O 4 dispersion and decomposition of phenol.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
