Abstract

A new type of boron-doped carbon nanotube (B-CNT) film was successfully grown on the surface of paper- sintered stainless steel fiber (PSSF) carrier via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with phenylboronic acid as precursor, constituting a metal-free composite catalyst of boron-doped carbon nanotube membrane with gradient porous structure on PSSF (B-CNTs/PSSF). The B-CNTs/PSSF was characterized by means of FE-SEM, TEM, Raman, TG and XPS, and then applied to the degradation of phenol. The results showed that the prepared B-CNTs/PSSF had a better phenol degradation performance than CNTs/PSSF without B doping, with a phenol conversion rate of 100%, a total organic carbon conversion rate of 68%. Based on the density functional theory (DFT), it was found that the difference in catalytic performance comes from the stronger adsorption and mutual electron transfer of H₂O₂ by B-CNT than CNT.

Key words: composite boron doped carbon nanotubes catalytic wet peroxide oxidation density functional theory metal-free catalyst
