Supramolecular Self-Assembly Strategy towards Fabricating Mesoporous Nitrogen-Rich Carbon for Efficient Electro-Fenton Degradation of Persistent Organic Pollutants.

ABSTRACT: The electro-Fenton (EF) process is regarded as an efficient and promising sewage disposal technique for sustainable water environment protection. However, current developments in EF are largely restricted by cathode electrocatalysts. Herein, a supramolecular self-assembly strategy is adopted for synthetization, based on melamine-cyanuric acid (MCA) supramolecular aggregates integrated with carbon fixation using 5-aminosalicylic acid and zinc acetylacetonate hydrate. The prepared carbon materials characterize an ordered lamellar microstructure, high specific surface area (595 m² g^-1), broad mesoporous distribution (4~33 nm) and high N doping (19.62%). Such features result from the intrinsic superiority of hydrogen-bonded MCA supramolecular aggregates via the specific m
