Tóm tắt

The perovskite manganite La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 nanoparticle/carbon nanofiber (LCMO/CNF) nanocomposites are developed by annealing the electrospun polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) mixed with nitrates (manganous nitrate, lanthanum (III) nitrate, and calcium nitrate) to work as electrocatalysts for the degradation of tetracycline (TC). The results show that the LCMO/CNFs fabricated with annealing at 250 °C for 120 min in the air atmosphere and subsequent calcination at 650 °C for 60 min possess an outstanding TC degradation performance. The TC degradation percentage (DP%) could reach 94.0% for 10 mg L−1 of TC solution with 0.1 mol L−1 of Na2SO4 as supporting electrolyte within only 1 h at a bias voltage of 1.0 V (vs. SCE). The LCMO/CNF-modified electrode possesses an average power consumption of 5.41 kWh kg−1 and the overall Faraday efficiency of 46.37% after 180 min of treatment, revealing a high efficiency and a relatively low cost. The TC DP% is changed from 87.8 to 84.8% after five cycles of electrocatalytic process for LCMO/CNF-modified electrode, implying an excellent durability, recyclability, and reusability. The TC degradation mechanism and pathways have also been explored. The results exhibit that the LCMO/CNFs could thoroughly electrocatalytically degrade TC into carbon dioxide and water at the end. This work provides a novel electrocatalyst for treatment of antibiotics contaminated wastewater with relatively low cost.
