Low-temperature hydrogenation of nanodiamond as a strategy to fabricate sp3-hybridized nanocarbon as a high-performance persulfate activator
APPLIED CATALYSIS B-ENVIRONMENTAL(2022)
摘要
This study presents the first instance of the application of hydrogenated nanodiamonds (H-NDs) for persulfate activation and the associated organic degradation. Surface hydrogenation at 600 degrees C, confirmed by the increased surface density of the C-H moiety in XPS and FT-IR spectra, produced H-NDs that outperformed graphitized NDs (prepared via annealing at 1000 degrees C) in terms of organic degradation and persulfate utilization efficiency. Hydrogenation improved the electrical conductivity of NDs; however, it was not accompanied by an increase in the sp(2) carbon content - in contrast to energy-intensive ND graphitization - resulting from sp(3)-to-sp(2) carbon transformation. In addition to the enhanced electron-transfer mediating activity, evidenced by the negative shift of the open circuit potential and current generation, isothermal titration calorimetry measurements indicated a significantly higher binding affinity of H-ND toward persulfate compared with that of graphitized ND. Multiple empirical results confirmed the progress of electron-transfer mediation as a major activation pathway.
