Stability enhancing of perovskite LaCoO3 by compositing with oxygen doped MoS2 in Fenton-like reactions

Perovskite materials are reported to be effective in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) based Fenton-like reactions, the leaching rates of chalcogenide materials in perovskite materials are however serious, thus leading to bad performance in long-term stability. In this study, an O-doped MoS 2 is synthesized to composite with LaCoO 3 , and the high catalytic activity of LaCoO 3 is well preserved with greatly decreased Co leaching. During the BPA degradation with PMS as oxidant, ∼100% degradation can be achieved in 20 min and this degradation efficiency can be maintained for ∼45 h in a simulated fixed bed reactor, which is almost 3 times longer than the pure LaCoO 3 . With the compositing of O-doped MoS 2 , the leached Co was greatly decreased and the dominated reactive oxidation species (ROS) transformed from SO 4 •– into O 2 •– with longer lifespan, thus resulting in the better stability. This study could promote the application of perovskite materials in the real industrial wastewater treatment .
