Abstract
A set of MOFs-derived Co3O4@MnOx hollow-sphere were synthesized to develop a catalyst for the photothermal catalytic removal of NO using acetone as a reducing agent. The study systematically investigated the impact of organic ligands and photoactive substances on energy transfer and photothermocatalytic reactions involving acetone and NO under 5 vol % H2O with the catalysts. At 240°C, sample C-5/1 (with an organic ligand added and Co/Mn molar ratio of 5/1) demonstrated 75 % NO conversion and 65 % acetone conversion. The highest catalytic performance was observed in the L-Py sample (with photoactive substance was added), achieving 80 % NO and 69 % acetone conversion at 240°C. The catalyst demonstrated low crystallinity, and the introduction structural defects through ligands adjusted the ratio of active components. Meanwhile, enhanced catalytic performance was attributed to light energy scattering in the inner space of microspheres, resulting in the efficient transfer of 2.17 eV energy with the addition of two photoactive substances. The elevated concentration of surface-active oxygen facilitated oxidation, while Mn/Mn+1 (Mn3+/Mn4+ and Co2+/Co3+) redox cycling supplied surface oxygen in the photothermal low-temperature response. The proposed mechanism for the simultaneous degradation of acetone and NO was elucidated using Density Functional Theory calculations.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
