Metal ion-modulated synthesis of γ-MnO 2 nanosheet for catalytic oxidative degradation of clomiprazole

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

catalysts were evaluated for the degradation of chlorimiprazole (CBZ), a persistent pollutant, using a sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation process. Among the synthesized catalysts, NF-0.25Fe exhibited superior performance, achieving 93% CBZ removal within 16 min under near-neutral conditions. This exceptional activity was attributed to the optimized morphology, higher low-valence Mn content, and enhanced surface-active oxygen species. Systematic investigations revealed that the catalyst dosage, PMS concentration, and pH critically influenced the catalytic efficiency. This work demonstrates the potential of metal ion modulation in tailoring the structural and catalytic properties of transition metal oxides. The insights gained here provide a robust foundation for designing advanced nanomaterials for environmental remediation and other catalytic applications.
