摘要

Persistent organic pollutants in wastewater pose severe threats to ecosystems and human health. Contact-electro-catalysis (CEC) has emerged as a promising strategy for pollutant degradation, yet powdered catalysts suffer from limited reactive sites, and generated reactive oxygen species readily form inert H2O2, limiting redox efficiency. Herein, a flexible TiO2/Sv-ZnIn2S4/PVDF-HFP nanofibrous membrane is designed to realize a photocatalysis-assisted contact-electro-catalysis (P-CEC) system for efficient wastewater purification. The resulting system enables the continuous in situ decomposition of accumulated H2O2 into reactive oxygen species under light irradiation, while establishing a synergistic multi-field coupling that sustains high redox species flux without the need for external oxidants. In the P-CEC system, the degradation rate of the pollutant reaches 3 times that of the conventional CEC system and 44 times that of the catalyst membrane alone. This work provides a viable strategy for overcoming reactive oxygen species self-quenching and demonstrates a multi-field coupled platform for efficient, energy-sustainable environmental remediation.
