The invention discloses a preparation method of a modified
electrode based on carbon nanofibers and application of the modified
electrode in efficient reduction of
nitrate and removal of associated organic matters, and belongs to the crossing field of
materials science,
chemistry and
environmental engineering. The preparation method comprises the following steps that firstly, foamed
nickel is pretreated, then, carbon nanofibers are loaded on the pretreated foamed
nickel through an impregnation and
calcination method, and finally,
metal copper is deposited on the surfaces of the carbon nanofibers through an electro-deposition method. The introduction of the carbon nanofibers provides a larger specific surface area for the
metal copper, promotes the high dispersion of
metal copper nanoparticles, and affects the formation of a copper
crystal face, thereby significantly improving the catalytic activity of the
electrode. The electrode prepared by the method has excellent electro-catalytic performance, is relatively low in cost, is easy to operate and control, and is easy to realize industrial production. The electrode can simultaneously realize efficient reduction of
nitrate and degradation of organic matters in an electro-
catalysis system, and has a wide application prospect.
