Synergistic Effect between Ni and Ce Dual Active Centers Initiated by Activated Fullerene Soot for Electro-Fenton Degradation of Tetracycline

The degradation of a high concentration organic pollutants has long been challenge to water restoration, and the development electro-Fenton catalysis offers practical approach solving this problem. In study, novel catalyst, activated fullerene soot-loaded NiO-doped CeO2 (0.4(0.4NiO-CeO2)-AFS) nanoparticles, was prepared through impregnation 0.4NiO-CeO2 particles soot (AFS). When applied for 200 mg/L tetracycline, catalyst demonstrated rate as 99%. Even after 20 cycles, more than 80%. Moreover, it concluded that AFS could initiate synergistic effect between Ni Ce dual active centers in tetracycline; can be ascribed extremely large specific surface area AFS.
