Mineralization of benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) with high efficiency at room temperature is still a challenge for the purification of indoor air. In this work, a foam Ti/Sb-SnO/β-PbO anode catalyst was prepared for electrocatalytically oxidizing gaseous toluene in an all-solid cell at ambient temperature. The complex Ti/Sb-SnO/β-PbO anode, which was prepared by sequentially deposing Sb-SnO and β-PbO on a foam Ti substrate, shows high electrocatalytic oxidation efficiency of toluene (80%) at 7 hr of reaction and high CO selectivity (94.9%) under an optimized condition, i.e., a cell voltage of 2.0 V, relative humidity of 60% and a flow rate of 100 mL/min. The better catalytic performance can be ascribed to the high production rate of ⋅OH radicals from discharging adsorbed water and the inhibition of oxygen evolution on the surface of foam Ti/Sb-SnO/β-PbO anode when compared with the foam Ti/Sb-SnO anode. Our results demonstrate that prepared complex electrodes can be potentially used for electrocatalytic removal of gaseous toluene at room temperature with a good performance.

The electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) has shown significant promise in the field of refractory organic wastewater treatment due to its high efficiency and environmentally friendly nature. In this study, Ti/Sb-SnO electrodes with varying proportions of Hf were prepared using the sol-gel method. The addition of Hf transformed the original collapsing and broken surface into a flat and regular surface.

Electrochemical oxidation (EO) can effectively reduce the degree of humification and toxicity of landfill leachate by generating highly active oxidative species in situ. However, the selective and competitive oxidation of humic acid (HA) and ammonia (NH) and the role of different oxidative species during the EO process in complex aqueous conditions remain unclear. In this study, a nanostructured tin-antimony electrode (Ti/Sb-SnO NFs) was prepared and compared with three types of commercial electrodes (Ti/Ir-RuO, TiO, Ti/Sb-SnO) in terms of electrochemical properties and electrocatalytic oxidation of HA and NH.

Electrochemical methods have been widely applied in the treatment of phenol wastewater for the past few years. However, conventional electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) generally encounter the problem of electrode passivation and the energy consumption required for mineralization is high. In this work, we reported the treatment of phenol wastewater by electrochemical bromination method in a flow electrolysis cell.
