DescriptionEffective remediation of energetic compounds such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (2,4,6-TNT) and 1,3,5-Trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX) persists as an intransigent problem throughout the lifecycle of munitions. At the point of manufacture, contamination of groundwater with munitions energetics constituents is a major environmental concern while at end-of-lifecycle, demilitarization of stockpiled munitions still requires novel and efficient technological solutions. Utilizing electrochemical methods and reactions implementing Fenton’s Reagent, energetic compounds have proven themselves amenable to molecular degradation via oxidative and reductive processes in the presence of a catalyst. However, traditional catalysts such as iron, in the case of Fenton’s Reagent, or platinum, in the case of electrochemistry, present practical concerns such as recyclability and cost. Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a new class of materials that have generated a substantial amount of attention in the scientific community because of their mechanical, electrical, and catalytic properties. Comprised of a single atomically-thin layer, materials such as graphene and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) have demonstrated excellent catalytic performance in reactions such as the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) and the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR). Here, we propose to study 2D materials as catalysts in various reactions for the chemical degradation of energetic compounds such as 2,4,6-TNT. We will implement electrochemical reactions, study complementary 2D materials, and optimize the reactions’ conditions to elucidate their underlying mechanisms.
