Hydrogen peroxide synthesis by electro-reduction of O2 to substitute the current anthraquinone process has attracted a great deal of attention. Low oxygen utilization rate and low hydrogen peroxide production remain obstacles to electro-Fenton application. In situ H2O2 generated by electrochemical reaction depends on the electrochemical performance of the cathode and the structure of the reactor. Here, novel graphite felt (GF) modified by La-doped CeO2 (La–CeO2) was developed as a cathode. A new double chamber electro-Fenton reactor was proposed, where an organic ultrafiltration membrane was used to prevent H2O2 from spreading to the anode. The effects of hydrothermal temperature, time and urea concentration on the electrochemical properties of graphite felt were investigated. The accumulated concentration of H2O2 on the modified cathode reached 218.4 mg·L–1 in 1 h when the optimal conditions of hydrothermal temperature 120 °C and urea concentration 0.55% (mass) in 24 h. The degradation rate of methyl orange reached 98.29%. The new electro-Fenton reactor can efficiently produce hydrogen peroxide to degrade various organic substances and has a high potential for treating wastewater in the chemical industry.

以La-CeO2改性石墨毡为阴极的非均质双室电芬顿高产H2O2
通过电还原O 2合成过氧化氢来替代目前的蒽醌法已经引起了极大的关注。氧气利用率低和过氧化氢产量低仍然是电芬顿应用的障碍。电化学反应产生的原位H 2 O 2取决于阴极的电化学性能和反应器的结构。在这里,开发了由 La 掺杂的 CeO 2 (La–CeO 2 ) 改性的新型石墨毡 (GF)作为阴极。提出了一种新型双室电芬顿反应器,其中使用有机超滤膜来防止H 2 O 2从传播到阳极。研究了水热温度、时间和尿素浓度对石墨毡电化学性能的影响。在水热温度120℃、尿素浓度0.55%(质量)24h的最佳条件下,修饰阴极上H 2 O 2的累积浓度在1h内达到218.4mg·L - 1。甲基橙的降解率达到98.29%。新型电芬顿反应器可以高效地产生过氧化氢来降解各种有机物,在处理化工行业的废水方面具有很大的潜力。
