    Abstract:

    Different facets exposed α-Fe2O3 were synthesised and utilized to remove organic contaminants via electric-Fenton method. Systemic characterizations including X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transimission electron microscope (TEM) reveal that the dominated planes of prepared α-Fe2O3 nanosheets and nanorods are {001} and {110} facets,respectively. Both 001-Fe2O3 and 110-Fe2O3 deposited CF cathode demonstrates sustainable activity for electrocatalytic removal of typical organic pollutants including RhB,MB and atrazine. The activity of 110-Fe2O3 is much higher than that of 001-Fe2O3. This can be attributed to its stronger ability for Fe(Ⅱ) generation based on the corresponding electrochemical analysis,from which the electron transport capacity of 110-Fe2O3 is found to be much higher than that of 001-Fe2O3. The resulting Fe(Ⅱ) thus accelerates the formation of reactive oxygen species like ·OH and·O-2,which subsequently promotes the degradation of target contaminants.
