In this study, cerium-doped lanthanum ferrite perovskite oxides (LaCeFeO) with different A-site were synthesized using a sol-gel method and they were used as ozonation catalyst for p-nitrophenol (PNP) mineralization for the first time. Catalytic activity in terms of total organic carbon (TOC) removal followed the order of LaCeFeO > LaCeFeO > LaCeFeO > LaCeFeO > LaFeO with 77, 66, 61, 60 and 56% respectively. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by diffraction of X-ray (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Moreover, electron spin resonance (ESR) and radicals quenching experiments showed that the active oxygen species in the ozone decomposition process are mainly hydroxyl radical (·OH), and also include superoxide radical (O) and singlet oxygen (O). Furthermore, the superior activity of LaCeFeO could be attributed to the higher surface area, the richer lattice oxygen, richer surface -OH groups and the facilitated redox Ce/Ce and Fe/Fe cycling. In addition, this study provides an insight to use metal-doped perovskite catalysts for catalytic ozonation.

The decomposition of ozone on supported manganese oxide catalysts, studied here, exemplifies reactions involving electron transfer. In situ extended X-ray absorption fine-structure spectra (Mn K-edge) on in situ treated samples show that the supported phase in MnO/SiO resembles MnO while that in MnO/AlO samples resembles MnO. In situ Raman spectroscopy shows the involvement of a common peroxide surface species.

The selective oxidation of NH-N into dinitrogen (N) is still a challenge. Currently, traditional advanced oxidation processes often involve in the chlorine free radicals to increase the selectivity of NH-N oxidation products towards N but is usually accompanied by the production of many toxic disinfection by-product. Herein, we reported a novel catalytic ozonation system (UV/O/MgO/NaSO) for selective NH-N oxidation based on the reducing capability and photochemical properties of NaSO.

It is a great challenge for vehicles to satisfy the increasingly stringent emission regulations for pollutants and greenhouse gases. Throughout the history of the development of vehicle emission control technology, catalysts have always been in the core position of vehicle aftertreatment. Aiming to address the significant demand for synergistic control of pollutants and greenhouse gases from vehicles, this review provides a panoramic view of emission control technologies and key aftertreatment catalysts for vehicles using fossil fuels (gasoline, diesel, and natural gas) and carbon-neutral fuels (hydrogen, ammonia, and green alcohols).

Iron zeolites are promising candidates for mitigating nitrous oxide (NO), a potent greenhouse gas and contributor to stratospheric ozone destruction. However, the atomic-level mechanisms by which different iron species, including isolated sites, clusters, and particles, participate in NO decomposition in the presence of CO still remain poorly understood, which hinders the application of the reaction in practical technology. Herein, through experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we identified that isolated iron sites were active for NO activation to generate adsorbed O* species, which readily reacted with CO following the Eley-Rideal (E-R) mechanism.

Ground-level ozone pollution poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health and requires effective control measures. This study focused on the monolithic ozone degradation catalyst based on powdered α-MnO and comprehensively investigated its catalytic performance, moisture resistance, and stability. The monolithic catalyst achieved the optimal catalytic activity with an ozone conversion rate of 99% after being calcined at 400 °C for 3 hours.
