Design of an electro-Fenton system with a novel sandwich film cathode for wastewater treatment

In this study, we demonstrate an electro-Fenton (E-Fenton) system constructed with a novel sandwich film cathode (SFC). For the fabrication of SFC, Fe(2+)-chitosan (Fe-CHI) was first deposited on foam nickel (Fe-CHI/Ni). Then two pieces of Fe-CHI/Ni was used to fasten one piece of activated carbon fiber (ACF) to obtain a Fe-CHI/Ni|ACF|Fe-CHI/Ni sandwich film cathode. We interestingly found that this SFC based E-Fenton system could effectively...
