The study reveals the facet-dependent persulfate activation by hematite crystals under visible light irradiation, with hematite nanoplates (NPs) showing superior performance in adsorption and generation of active species compared to nanocubes (NCs) and nanorods (NRs). The density functional theory (DFT) calculation confirms the higher adsorption capacity of NPs for persulfate, leading to more PS-Fe(III) complexes on the surface and production of radicals for pollutants oxidation.
Hematite has been well studied in advanced oxidant processes (AOPs) due to its abundance and non-toxicity, but its precise mechanism in persulfate (PS) activation remains unclear. Here, we studied PS activation by hematite nanoplates (NPs) with dominant {001} facets, nanocubes (NCs) with dominant {012} facets, and nanorods (NRs) with dominant {110} facets, disclosing the facet-dependent PS activation for efficient degradation of organic pollutants over hematite crystals under visible light irradiation. Hematite NPs exhibited much higher oxidation degradation of organic pollutants than NCs and NRs. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation confirms that PS was more easily adsorbed by NPs than by NCs and NRs, which favored more PS-Fe(III) complexes on the surface of hematite NPs. More reduced Fe(II) species from NPs than from others under visible light irradiation promoted PS activation, producing radicals for pollutants oxidation. These findings highlight the structure-performance relationship of irradiated hematite and the mechanisms in contaminant degradation.
