Abstract
Introducing hierarchical structure into zeolites or synthesizing two-dimensional (2D) zeolite nanosheets have drawn much attention in catalysis and separation process due to the improvement in zeolites' diffusion properties. In this study, Fe incorporated on the MFI zeolite framework (Fe-MFI) with the nanosheet morphology and unique hierarchical pore structure was successfully synthesized and applied for the adsorption and degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) in a Fenton-like reaction in the presence of H2O2. The synthesis involved a seed-directed hydrothermal method in the presence of NH4F and a subsequent NaOH treatment made the synthesized hierarchical Fe-MFI nanosheets (Fe-20-10) characterized by abundant highly dispersed framework Fe3+ species. As a result of these features, the Fe-20-10 showed excellent ability of adsorption and degradation efficiency of RhB, and enhanced durability due to negligible leaching of framework Fe3+ species. Moreover, the hydroxyl radicals were determined as the main the reactive oxygen species of RhB degradation, and a possible adsorption-degradation pathway was proposed. This work offers guidance for developing high-performance Fenton-like degradation catalysts.
期刊介绍:
Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, CODEN: MOLEFW) is an open access journal of synthetic organic chemistry and natural product chemistry. All articles are peer-reviewed and published continously upon acceptance. Molecules is published by MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Our aim is to encourage chemists to publish as much as possible their experimental detail, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section. In addition, availability of compound samples is published and considered as important information. Authors are encouraged to register or deposit their chemical samples through the non-profit international organization Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI). Molecules has been launched in 1996 to preserve and exploit molecular diversity of both, chemical information and chemical substances.
