A Tandem Reaction System for Inactivation of Marine Microorganisms by Commercial Carbon Black and Boron-Doped Carbon Nitride.

ABSTRACT: The Pureballast system, based on photocatalytic technology, can purify ships' ballast water. However, the efficiency of photocatalytic sterilization still needs to be improved due to the shortcomings of the photocatalyst itself and the complex components of seawater. In this work, a tandem reaction of electrocatalytic synthesis and photocatalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) was constructed for the inactivation of marine microorganisms. Using seawater and air as raw materials, electrocatalytic synthesis of H₂O₂ by commercial carbon black can avoid the risk of large-scale storage and transportation of H₂O₂ on ships. In addition, boron doping can improve the photocatalytic decomposition performance of H₂
