New Catalyst Design Enhances Water Treatment Efficiency and Longevity
Researchers from Huaqiao University and wastewater treatment centers in Xiamen, China, have developed a novel FeS2/MoS2 heterostructure catalyst that significantly improves the efficiency and durability of water purification processes. This catalyst operates through a self-sustaining charge-circulation process, allowing it to regenerate its active sites continuously. The design supports both radical and non-radical oxidation pathways, enabling rapid removal of pollutants like acetaminophen and maintaining high performance across various water types. The catalyst demonstrated a high rate of pollutant degradation and retained over 95.5% of its original performance after multiple cycles, showcasing its potential for long-term application in water treatment.
