This invention discloses an orbital-controlled α-MnO2@CNT
hybrid and its selective generation of IO3 upon activation of
periodate (PI). • Applications in [the field]. This
hybrid material uses α-MnO2 nanoribbons as the
active component and CNTs as the
electron reservoir, and is prepared via a one-step co-
precipitation method. The CNTs and α-MnO2 form an interfacial
hybrid structure, which can modulate the electronic
state density of the Mn 3d orbitals, shifting the Mn d-band center upwards and enhancing PI adsorption and interfacial
electron transfer efficiency. When this
hybrid material is added as a catalyst to water containing PI and mixed pollutants, it can selectively generate IO3-. • Main, 1 O2 is a secondary active species, enabling the simultaneous and efficient degradation of mixed pollutants, including sulfonamide
antibiotics and
Rhodamine B. This invention features a simple and low-cost preparation process, a catalyst with good stability and strong anti-interference ability, wide applicability, and
no formation of toxic iodides, providing a new technical solution and theoretical support for the remediation of complex water bodies.
