Catalytic Process Optimization of Birnessite‐based Fenton‐like Reaction with Surface Cu²⁺ Modification

Abstract

Layer-structured birnessite (d-MnO 2 ) has been applied recently in the heterogeneous Fenton-like process. However, easy deactivation and low utilization efficiency of H 2 O 2 limit its practical application. The catalytic processes of H 2 O 2 on birnessite were successfully regulated via surface chemical modification as Cu 2 + ions were intercalated into the birnessite by the ion-exchange method (CuBir). The triple-corner-sharing inner-sphere surface complexes of Cu 2 + ions (TCS species) formed above Mn vacancies could effectively weaken the over-complexation of H 2 O 2 on the surface of [MnO 6 ] sheets, and then decrease the self-consumption of surface-formed superoxide radicals. The surface TCS species have excellent Fenton-like performances and enhance the conversion efficiency of H 2 O 2 into reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, the surface Cu 2 + -modification engineering could prevent deactivation owing to degradation intermediate residues and improve the recyclability of catalyst.

Self-Assembly of All-Inclusive Allochroic Nanoparticles for the Improved ELISA

“…TMB molecules are oxidized by the generated • O 2 – in the presence of Cu 2+ /H 2 O 2 . The catalytic mechanism can be attributed to the equations as follows. , As displayed in Figure A, Cu 2+ can oxidize TMB to produce oxidation of TMB (ox-TMB), inducing an obvious color change at 652 nm. Note that TMB NPs can be further oxidized by Cu 2+ /H 2 O 2 , yielding a deeper color intensity than those of individual Cu 2+ , which can improve the sensitivity of TLISA.…”

Removal of Organics from Landfill Leachate by Heterogeneous Fenton-like Oxidation over Copper-Based Catalyst

“…Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are among the most effective methods applied for the treatment of leachate [2,[10][11][12][13]. These processes typically rely on the generation of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (OH), which in turn attack the organics, resulting in being extremely effective for their abatement [14].…”

Evolution of Surface Catalytic Sites on Bimetal Silica-Based Fenton-Like Catalysts for Degradation of Dyes with Different Molecular Charges

“…To solve these problems the main research focus is aimed at the development of heterogeneous Fenton-like AOP catalysts based on transition metals like Al, Ce, Cr, Co, Mn, and Cu working under neutral pH values [5,6]. Transition metals in the form of single atoms, nanoclusters, or nanoparticles on porous supports-the so-called supported catalysts-are promising materials for heterogeneous catalysis as they could mimic catalyst performance in the homogeneous catalytic process [7].…”
