摘要

Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes are highly effective for removing harmful organic pollutants (HOPs). However, their efficiency relies on the availability of stable and active catalysts. In this study, we fabricated a self-supporting electrode featuring a cobalt nanosheet array via a one-step electrodeposition method, enabling electrodriven degradation of diverse HOPs across multiple scenarios. Using tetracycline (TC) degradation as a model reaction, the Co@CF catalyst efficiently electroactivated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to generate reactive oxygen species, including ·OH, \(\text{SO}_{4}^{\cdot -}\) SO 4 , and 1O2, leading to complete TC removal within 5 min in pure water. The Co@CF catalyst retained its catalytic activity even after 14 reuse cycles, demonstrating remarkable stability. Furthermore, we elucidated the mechanism of PMS activation in the Co@CF/PMS system under an electric field through in situ electrochemical attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared online monitoring and density functional theory calculations. This work offers innovative insights into the design of highly efficient, stable, self-supporting catalysts and presents a promising technical strategy for the effective elimination of persistent organic pollutants in practical water treatment applications.
