| 英文摘要 | Regulation of fast three-electron-transfer processes for electrocatalytic oxidation of ammonia to nitrogen by achieving efficient generation and utilization of active sites is the optimal strategy in ammonia-containing wastewater treatment. However, the limited number of accessible active sites and sluggish interfacial mass transfer are two main bottlenecks restricting conventional ammonia oxidation configurations. Herein, we develop a macroporous Ni foam electrode integrated with vertically aligned two-dimensional mesoporous Ni2P nanosheets to create sufficient exposure of active centers. A novel ammonia oxidation reactor with the developed hierarchical porous-structured electrodes was assembled to construct an intensified microfluidic process with flow-through operation to mitigate macroscopic mass transport limitations. The confined microreaction space in the hierarchical porous reactor further promotes spontaneous nanoscale diffusion/convection of the target contaminant to high-valence Ni sites and enhances the microscopic mass transfer. The combined results of electrochemical measurements and in situ Raman spectra showed that the ammonia degradation mechanism results from direct oxidation by the high-valence Ni, significantly different from the conventional indirect active-chlorine-species-mediated oxidation. The optimized reactor achieves high-efficiency three-electron-transfer ammonia conversion with an ammonia removal efficiency of similar to 70% from an initial concentration of similar to 1400 mg/L and byproduct production of similar to 4%, significantly superior to a conversion unit comprising a featureless Ni-based electrode in the immersed configuration, which had >50% byproduct yield. 20 days of continuous operation under variable conditions achieved >90% ammonia degradation performance and an energy consumption of 25.42 kW h kg(-1) N (1 order of magnitude lower than the active-chlorine-mediated process), showing the potential of the reactor in medium-concentration ammonia-containing wastewater treatment. |
