Abstract
The non-radical pathway-induced polymerization removal of pollutants by peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS) has increasingly attracted research interest. In this study, nanosheet-structured Bi2WO6 was synthesized and demonstrated the ability in enhancing the polymerization removal of bisphenol A in aqueous solutions through an electron transfer induced process when coexisting with PMS/PDS, without requiring any additional activation methods. The BWO-PDS system showed significantly higher removal efficiency than the BWO-PMS system, indicating distinct catalytic performance between the two persulfate systems. Therefore, a comprehensive comparative investigation was conducted, focusing on the verification of exclusive electron transfer pathways and the interfacial interactions between BWO and PMS/PDS. Experimental results combined with density functional theory calculations revealed that the adsorption stability, quantity of electron transfer, and O–O bond activation degree upon adsorption are the key factors governing the performance differences between the two systems. Additionally, the potential of the system for photocatalytic degradation applications was explored.
