Abstract

Fenton-like reaction is an effective technology for degradation of organic pollutants in water. Heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts play an essential role in this process. In this work, highly ordered mesoporous Cu-Ce catalysts were designed to enhance the exposure of active sites and adsorption of methylene blue (MB). Cu was introduced into mesoporous CeO2 by different methods to adjust the distribution of Cu species and interaction between Cu and Ce in catalysts. m-CuCeOx catalysts, in which Cu was introduced by in-situ method, can completely remove the MB within 45 min, and the removal efficiency remained 94.3% after 5 runs. The stronger interaction between Cu and Ce is more favorable to the conversion cycles of Cu2+/Cu+ and Ce4+/Ce3+. A synergistic effect between Cu+ and Ce4+ contributed to better catalytic performance during degradation of MB. This work provides an important idea for design and preparation of heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts.
