Bimetallic FeCu-MOF derivatives as heterogeneous catalysts with enhanced stability for electro-Fenton degradation of lisinopril
(Elsevier, 2024-11-25)
Article
Open AccessA bimetallic FeCu/NC core-shell catalyst, consisting in nanoparticles where zero-valent Fe and Cu atoms, slightly oxidized on their surface, are encapsulated by carbon has been successfully prepared by modifying the synthesis ... -
Boosting the O2-to-H2O2 selectivity using Sn-Doped carbon electrocatalysts: towards highly efficient cathodes for actual water decontamination
(2024-09-09)
Article
Open AccessThe high cost and often complex synthesis procedure of new highly selective electrocatalysts (particularly those based on noble metals) for H2O2 production are daunting obstacles to penetration of this technology into the ... -
Chitosan-derived nitrogen-doped carbon electrocatalyst for a sustainable upgrade of oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide in UV-assisted electro-Fenton water treatment
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2020-08-25)
Article
Open AccessThe urgency to move from critical raw materials to highly available and renewable feedstock is currently driving the scientific and technical developments. Within this context, the abundance of natural resources like ... -
Electrochemically-assisted thermal-based technologies for soil remediation
(2021)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn situ thermal remediation (ISTR) technologies are considered a good option to both, evaporate volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) and enhance the mass transport of dissolved chemicals, avoiding the drawbacks associated ... -
Groundwater treatment using a solid polymer electrolyte cell with mesh electrodes
(2019-02-15)
Article
Open AccessThis article reports the high performance of a solid polymer electrolyte cell, equipped with a Nafion¿ N117 membrane packed between a Nb/BDD mesh anode and a Ti/RuO2 mesh cathode, to degrade the insecticide imidacloprid ... -
H2O2 production at gas-diffusion cathodes made from agarose-derived carbons with different textural properties for acebutolol degradation in chloride media
(Elsevier, 2022-02-05)
Article
Open AccessThe excessive cost, unsustainability or complex production of new highly selective electrocatalysts for H2O2 production, especially noble-metal-based ones, is prohibitive in the water treatment sector. To solve this ... -
Paired electrochemical removal of nitrate and terbuthylazine pesticide from groundwater using mesh electrodes
(2021-07-01)
Article
Open AccessGroundwater is one of the main freshwater resources on Earth, but its contamination with NO3- and pesticides jeopardizes its viability as a source of drinking water. In this work, a detailed study of single electro-oxidation ... -
Replacing carbon cloth by nickel mesh as substrate for air-diffusion cathodes: H2O2 production and carbenicillin degradation by photoelectro-Fenton
(Elsevier, 2023-02-15)
Article
Open AccessThe development of air-diffusion electrodes (ADEs) that electrocatalytically produce H2O2 for its decomposition by Fenton’s reaction is gaining relevance. However, attention has been paid to improve the catalytic layer ... -
Tailoring single-atom FeN4 moieties as a robust heterogeneous catalyst for high-performance electro-Fenton treatment of organic pollutants
(Elsevier, 2023-03-01)
Article
Open AccessAn iron single-atom catalyst, composed of robust FeN4 moieties anchored on a nitrogen-doped porous carbon matrix (Fe-SAC/NC), has been developed via a surfactant-coordinated metal-organic framework (MOF) approach for ... -
Ultra-uniform MIL-88B(Fe)/Fe3S4 hybrids engineered by partial sulfidation to boost catalysis in electro-Fenton treatment of micropollutants: Experimental and mechanistic insights
(Elsevier, 2023-01-01)
Article
Open AccessFe-based metal–organic frameworks are promising catalysts for water treatment, although their viability is hampered by the slow regeneration of active Fe(II) sites. A facile sulfidation strategy is proposed to boost the ... -
