▎ 摘  要

H2O2 is a green and valuable chemical that can be electrochemically synthesis from oxygen reduction, offering in-situ application for organic pollutants removal in environmental remediation. However, how to improve activity and further convert into powerful radicals is a still challenge. Herein, we show a facile and general approach to fabricate nitrogen-doped graphene (N-GE) catalyst via pyrolysis temperature regulation. The optimal N-GE at 400 degrees C exhibited the highest active N content (12.2 wt.%) and H2O2 selectivity (85.45 %) and spontaneous (OH)-O-center dot production (19.42 mu M), achieving a high phenol degradation (93.58 %) at 180 min in neutral pH condition. Importantly, a simple catalyst regeneration method and mechanism was disclosed. It is proposed that the conversion of graphite N and pyridinic N in N-GE plays an important role in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and (OH)-O-center dot conversion, while the conversion of pyridinic N-oxide to pyridinic N is critical to catalyst stability and sustainability. This study provides a new insight into structure design of electro-catalyst about stability of nitrogen-doped carbon materials for efficient H2O2 generation and cost-effective pollutants removal.
