Dual-substrate synergistic catalysis of WS2-Fe clusters on recycled plastic-derived N-doped carbon for H2O2 activation
This work elucidated the dual-substrate activation mechanism of a Fenton-like system, enabled by the upcycling of plastics into a highly efficient catalyst. A synergistic pyrolysis strategy was employed to upcycle polyethylene microplastics into nitrogen-doped carbon while simultaneously constructing Fe clusters and WS 2 co-catalyst (WS 2 /Fe-N-C). In the H 2 O 2 activation system, WS 2 /Fe-N-C achieved a remarkable rate constant of 0.949 min −1 toward bisphenol A, which was 52 times higher than that of Fe-N-C, outperforming previously reported representative co-catalyst systems and Fe-based carbon catalysts. Correlation analysis, electrochemical tests and theoretical calculations demonstrated that Fe sites primarily activated H 2 O 2 to generate •OH, while WS 2 adsorbed bisphenol A and facilitated a non-radical electron transfer pathway, enabling dual-substrate synergistic catalysis for highly efficient pollutant removal. This work provides a feasible strategy for plastic upcycling and offers innovative insights into the synergy between metal centers and cocatalysts, paving the way for the rational design of high-performance catalysts.
