This invention discloses a supported
boron-doped
palladium oxide cluster catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. The preparation method includes optimizing the geometry and
electronic structure of the Pd clusters through Pd precursor regulation and B atom
doping. The B-doped Pd
oxide cluster material substrate is
carbon nitride, the Pd cluster loading is 0.5-2%, and B atoms are distributed in the Pd clusters. The
molar ratio of B to Pd atoms is 0.01-0.2:1, and the average valence of Pd atoms is Pd₂. 1+ -Pd 4+ This catalyst can efficiently mineralize
perfluorooctanoic acid and other
carboxylic acid perfluorinated compounds in water through a
chain reaction of
decarboxylation coupled with
hydroxylation and defluorination under normal
temperature and pressure. The defluorination rate exceeds 95%, and its activity is not affected by environmental factors such as ions, dissolved
organic matter, and pH in the water. The catalyst is suitable for the removal of perfluorocarboxylic acids from
surface water,
groundwater, or industrial
wastewater, and has the advantages of simple operation, high efficiency, and good stability.
