Co,Zn-MOF derived Co@C-NCNTs for boosting non-radical oxidation of norfloxacin by peroxymonosulfate

Norfloxacin (NX), as one of the most widely used antibiotics, is becoming a potential pollutant in water. Here, the cobalt-decorated nitrogen-rich carbon material containing abundant carbon nanotubes ([email protected]) was synthesized by pyrolysis of the Co,Zn bimetal organic frameworks (Co,Zn-MOF). The introduction of Zn led to the formation of abundant CNTs with high aspect ratio and high N-doping in the carbon metrix. The obtained [email protected] catalyst was applied to boost non-radical catalysis of peroxymonosulfate for NX degradation with high efficiency. The release of cobalt was greatly inhibited by Co-N interaction and carbon layer protection. The CNTs amount in [email protected] and its catalytic activity were tunable with the Zn/Co ratio. At the optimal Zn/Co ratio, the derived [email protected] delivered 92% removal of NX in 30?min, significantly higher than the single Co-MOF based catalyst. Free radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance demonstrated the singlet 1O2-dominated degradation process of NX accompanied by the ?OH and SO4? effect. The electrochemical characterization verified that the electron transfer in the PMS system is greatly enhanced due to the presence of [email protected]
