Table 1 The comparison of *OH in FEP/CEC and OH in FeIII/FEP/CEC

From: FeIII-driven self-cycled Fenton via contact-electro-catalysis for water purification

 

*OH

OH

Meaning

Interfacial hydroxyl radical

Dissociative hydroxyl radical

Precursor

H2O

H2O2

Generated pathways

H2O → H2O•+ + e

H2O•+ + H2O → H3O+ + *OH

FeII + H2O2 → FeIII + OH + OH

Generated system

FEP/CEC

FeIII/FEP/CEC SC-Fenton

Distribution

Mainly at the interface of FEP

Liquid solution

Dominant role

Recombination into H2O2

*OH + *OH → H2O2

Degradation pollutant
