“…16,17 Although these oxidation methods effectively transform As(III) to As(V), the resultant As(V) still maintains its toxicity, which requires further separation from water, typically through adsorption processes. 18,19 Therefore, it is desirable to develop an alternative and sustainable strategy for arsenic removal from water, mitigating its harmful impact and enabling arsenic recovery. The toxicity order of different arsenic species by valence is established as follows: As(III) > As(V) > As(0).…”

Arsenic contamination in groundwater and industrial wastewater poses a significant threat to human health and the ecosystem. Electrochemical reduction of highly mobile As(III) species into less toxic elemental arsenic (As(0)) has emerged as a promising method to effectively recover arsenic from water. In this study, a novel CuSn alloy nanowire array-modified copper foam (CuSn NAs/CF) electrode was fabricated for the direct electrochemical reduction of As(III) to As(0). The electrocatalytic reduction of As(III) was systematically investigated under various reaction conditions, including current densities, solution pH, electrolytes, and initial As(III) concentrations. The CuSn NAs/CF electrode was proven to effectively suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction and greatly enhance the electrochemical reduction of As(III). The recovery yield of As(0) on the CuSn NAs/CF electrode reached 3.67 mg/cm 2 at 90 min of electrolysis in a 0.1 M Na 2 SO 4 at pH 11, which was 2.75 times higher than that of the Cu NAs-modified electrode. Furthermore, the as-prepared electrode also demonstrated excellent electrochemical stability and a longer service life, maintaining a recovery yield of As(0) at 2.62 mg/cm 2 even after 6 cycles. The reduction reaction mechanism of As(III) was ascribed to the synergistic effect of direct electrolysis and hydrogen radicals (•H) formation, as revealed by ESR and radical scavenger experimental results. This study not only provides convincing evidence for the direct electrochemical conversion of As(III) to As(0) on an innovative CuSn alloy electrode, but also offers a promising strategy to recover and reuse waste arsenic resources. This contributes to a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to arsenic-containing wastewater treatment.

“…Among the various methods for the preparation of semiconductor materials, electrodeposition is an economical approach. 1,2 Although arsenic can be electrodeposited in both alkaline and acid aqueous solutions, [3][4][5][6] the possibility of producing toxic arsine, AsH 3 , during the electrolysis is of concern. Furthermore, electrochemical co-deposition of Ga and In with As in simple aqueous solutions could be difficult because of the intrinsic negative reduction potential of these two elements.…”

The electrochemical behavior of arsenic(III) is investigated in the ethaline deep eutectic solvent (DES) that is obtained by mixing 1 mol eq. of choline chloride and 2 mol eq. of ethylene glycol using As 2 O 3 as the As(III) source. Cyclic voltammetry and rotating disc voltammetry experiments indicate that the reduction of As(III) to As is a single step three electron transfer process with slow kinetics. Chronoamperometry experiments indicate that the deposition of arsenic at a glassy carbon electrode involves with an overpotential-driven three dimensional instantaneous nucleation/growth process. The calculated number density of the nuclei increases as a function of applied overpotential. Amorphous arsenic coatings are prepared using constant potential, constant current, and pulse potential electrolysis experiments. The morphology of the electrodeposits is examined by SEM.
