摘要:
过氧乙酸（PAA）作为一种具有不对称结构的绿色氧化剂，因其高氧化还原电位及低毒副产物特性，在高级氧化技术（AOPs）领域展现出巨大潜力。电化学活化PAA（EC/PAA）技术结合了电化学的高效性与PAA的强氧化性，成为降解难降解有机污染物的前沿方向。EC/PAA技术降解污染物的过程涉及自由基与非自由基路径的竞争与协同，降解效率受电极材料的导电性、催化活性和稳定性影响。本文系统综述了EC/PAA体系的理论基础、活化机理（自由基与非自由基路径）、关键电极材料（碳质材料、金属氧化物、生物电化学系统），重点剖析了活性物种（OH?、R-O?、高价金属物种等）的生成机制与污染物降解的选择性关联，并探讨了pH、电流密度及共存物质对反应效率的影响。最后，针对当前研究中机理量化不足、材料稳定性差及实际应用场景局限等问题，提出未来应借助先进原位表征（如拉曼光谱、同步辐射）量化R-O·生成动力学和补充非自由基路径，开发低成本、长寿命、无金属泄漏的绿色电极，并推进真实工业废水应用潜力的研究。
Abstract:
Peracetic acid （PAA）， a green oxidant with an asymmetric molecular structure，exhibits significant potential in advanced oxidation processes （AOPs） owing to its high redox potential and low-toxicity by-products. Electrochemical activation of PAA （EC/PAA） technology，which integrates high efficiency of electrochemistry with strong oxidizing capability of PAA，has emerged as a cutting-edge approach for degrading recalcitrant organic pollutants. The degradation process in the EC/PAA system involves competition and synergy between radical and non-radical pathways，and the degradation efficiency is influenced by electrical conductivity，catalytic activity，and stability of the electrode material. In this review, we systematically summarized the theoretical foundations of the EC/PAA system，its activation mechanisms （radical and non-radical pathways），and key electrode materials （carbonaceous materials，metal oxides，and bio-electrochemical systems）. Emphasis was placed on elucidating the generation mechanisms of reactive species （OH·，R-O·，high-valent metal species） and their correlation with selective degradation of pollutants，while the effects of pH，current density， and coexisting substances on reaction efficiency were also discussed. Finally，to address the current issues of insufficient quantitative mechanistic studies，poor material stability，and limited practical application scenarios，future efforts should focus on employing advanced in-situ characterization techniques （such as Raman spectroscopy，synchrotron radiation） to quantify the generation kinetics of R-O· and to clarify non-radical pathways，developing low-cost，long-lasting，and metal-leaching-free green electrodes，and advancing research on the application potential in real industrial wastewater.
