This study demonstrates the construction of highly dispersed and active Fe sites on ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fibers through radiation-induced graft polymerization and subsequent modification, showing remarkable catalytic activity and stability for efficient activation of H2O2 degradation of pharmaceuticals under visible light irradiation.
The maximum exposure of active sites is the key to obtaining high reaction activity for supported metal catalysts. Single-atom metal sites and ultra-small metal clusters have received great attention because of their superior catalytic activities compared to their aggregated counterparts. However, developing high-density metal clusters with high activity and adequate stability remains a major challenge in practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate that highly dispersed and active Fe sites for heterogeneous Photo-Fenton systems can be chelated into graft chains on ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers via radiation-induced graft polymerization (RIGP) and subsequent modification, labeled as U-g-PAO/Fe. The amidoxime chelated Fe(III) catalyst, in which the loading amount of chelated Fe(III) is 24.04 wt%, exhibits remarkably efficient removal of ofloxacin within 35 min by activating H2O2 under visible light irradiation. The catalytic activities and stability of U-g-PAO/Fe were evaluated by the removal of various model organic pollutants and multiple recycles of degradation, demonstrating superior catalytic activities over a wide pH range (2-10) for the activation of H2O2 than a typical Fenton catalyst. Furthermore, the graft macromolecular chains of chelated Fe(III) provide a welldefined reaction microenvironment with maximum atom efficiency. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and density functional theory calculations (DFT) revealed that the unique active sites [Amidoxime-Fe(OH)(H2O)3]2+ of U-g-PAO/Fe considerably activated H2O2 decomposition under artificial sunlight irradiation. Our study presents a novel idea for the design and synthesis of highly dispersed and reactive Fe-based Photo-Fenton catalysts for practical applications in environmental remediation.
