RESUMEN
Photo-Fenton-like technology based on H2O2 is considered as an ideal strategy to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) for antibiotic degradation, but O2 overflow in the process severely limits the utilization efficiency of H2O2. Herein, we fabricate Bi2MoO6 (BMO) photocatalyst modified with Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) as a Fenton catalyst model for enhancing reuse of spilled O2. The FLPs created by the introduction of cerium and oxygen vacancy were found to contribute to regulate the electronic structure of BMO and further improve the acidic and basic properties of photocatalyst surface. More importantly, the frustrated acid and base sites can enhance the H2O2 and O2 interfacial adsorption process and provide an Ce4+-Ov-O2- active site on the surface of Ce-BMO nanosheets, which can promote O2/â¢O2-/1O2/H2O2 redox cycles to achieve high H2O2 utilization efficiency. Specifically, in the experiment using tetracycline as a photocatalytic degradation object, the degradation activity of Ce-BMO was 2.15 times higher than that of BMO pure phase. Quenching experiments and EPR assays also confirmed that 1O2 and â¢O2- were the dominant oxidative species. This study systematically reveals the design of Fenton photocatalytic active sites at the atomic scale and provides new insights into constructing FLPs photocatalysts with high H2O2 utilization efficiency.
