Single-atom catalyst for activation of persulfate to generate pure singlet oxygen as well as preparation method and application thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure belongs to the field of single-atom catalytic degradation of refractory organic pollutants, and provides a single-atom catalyst for activation of persulfate to generate pure singlet oxygen (1O2) as well as a preparation method and an application thereof. The single-atom catalyst of the present disclosure includes supports and single iron atoms loaded on the support; the supports are graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets; the single iron atoms are bound to the supports in the form of a Fe—N4 coordination structure. The present disclosure employs graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets as the supports, so that the single iron atoms have a uniform surrounding environment and the persulfate is only converted into 1O2 when being activated; 1O2 has good selectivity and anti-interference ability, so the single-atom catalyst provided in the present disclosure may have excellent selectivity and anti-interference performance in the degradation of organic pollutants.
