Nanodisk–like Activated Carbon-Branched Polyamine for Adsorption and Degradation of Gaseous Formaldehyde
Research Square (Research Square)(2023)
摘要
Abstract Interactions between surface functional groups of adsorbents and pollutants are key variables controlling adsorption and degradation. Herein, we presented a new approach to address such variables by modifying the surface of activated carbon (AC) with branched polyamine (BPA) to create an efficient hybrid material for tackling a common air pollutant, i.e., formaldehyde (FA). The hybrid AC-BPA possessed amine, –COOH, –OH, and Cl − on its surface, facilitating physical, chemical, and reactive adsorption of FA. Consequently, AC-BPA exhibited a high partition coefficient (PC) of 0.64 mol kg − 1 Pa − 1 (82.3 mg g − 1 adsorption capacity), surpassing pristine AC and associated reported systems. AC-BPA performance was further improved under high relative humidity (e.g., 100% RH), achieving an impressive adsorption capacity of 144.3 mg g − 1 and PC of 1.25 mol kg − 1 Pa − 1 . Further, in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy revealed that AC-BPA catalyzed the chemical transformation of FA into methylol adducts, H 2 O, and CO 2 . This study opens new approaches to the design of high-performance, energy-efficient, and metal-free hybrid materials for reactive adsorption and effective degradation of FA under ambient conditions.
