| Popis: | Magnetic carbon materials promise distinct advantages in the decontamination of heavy metal ions. In this work, a novel interconnected hierarchical nickel-carbon (Ni@IHC) hybrid was synthesized by combining the solvothermal method with a one-step pyrolysis under argon atmosphere. Benefitting from 3D flower-like morphology, interconnected porous nanosheets, large surface area, and abundant Ni nanoparticles, Ni@IHC hybrids can remove Cr(VI) within 25 min by using formic acid (FA) as a reductant at 25 ℃. Furthermore, the experimental parameters that can affect the material catalytic performance such as initial Cr(VI) concentration, catalyst dosage, FA concentration, and temperature were also investigated in detail. It was found that highly dispersed Ni nanoparticles contributed significantly to the reduction process. More importantly, the embedded Ni nanoparticles favor fast separation by a magnet and were helpful for the recycles use. This Ni@IHC hybrid was obtained by a facile and easy scale-up method, resulting in the fast transformation of Cr(VI) into Cr(III). |
