The study successfully prepared cobalt and nitrogen co-doped carbonized wood sponge material for PMS activation to degrade SMX, showing remarkable catalytic activity. The research revealed the unique mechanism of wood sponge-based functional materials in PMS activation through both radical and non-radical pathways.
Renewable wood sponge with lamellar structure, compressibility and three-dimensional porous frameworks exhibits excellent functionalization application potential in various fields. Herein, cobalt and nitrogen (Co/N) codoped carbonized wood sponge (CoNCWS800) was prepared successfully for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation to degrade sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The CoNCWS800 material exhibited admirable catalytic activity in PMS activation to oxidize SMX molecules (99.7% within 60 min). Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis, quenching tests and electrochemical experiments confirmed the existence of both radical (SO4 center dot-, center dot OH and O-2(center dot-)) and non-radical (O-1(2) and direct charge transfer) pathways during the SMX degradation process. Co species were verified as major contributors for the generation of multiple radicals via activating PMS. Surface defective structure and ketonic C=O groups performed the positive linear correlation with reaction kinetic constants, revealing the critical role of the two active sites in PMS activation via non-radical process. This study provides a unique insight in PMS activation mechanism via both radical and non-radical pathways of wood sponge-based functional materials.
