Claimed herein is a method of applying amorphous Co—SiOx to activate PMS and produce SO.sub.4..sup.− due to the formation of Co(II)-O.sub.v, pairs via the substitution of Si by Co. The inherent Co significantly change the electronic structure of O and Si atoms in the Co—SiOx via final state effects and increase the conductivity in terms of more effective electron transfers. The claimed method using Co—SiOx functions as a more effective oxidative catalyst for the faster degradation of pollutants. The simplicity of the synthetic procedures indicates that the conductive Co—SiOx could be used for the activation of PMS and other electrochemical applications on a wider scale.

The invention discloses a phosphorus-doped tubular carbon nitride micro-nano material and application thereof in waste gas treatment. Melamine is partially hydrolyzed into cyanuric acid through a phosphorous acid-assisted hydrothermal method to form a melamine-cyanuric acid super molecular precursor; the center of the precursor starts to be pyrolyzed under heating calcination, and thus phosphorus-doped tubular carbon nitride is obtained; the phosphorus-doped tubular carbon nitride and sodium borohydride are mixed and subjected to low-temperature calcination in an inert gas atmosphere, and defect-modified phosphorus-doped tubular carbon nitride is obtained. The defect-modified phosphorus-doped tubular carbon nitride micro-nano material has a good photocatalytic effect on catalytic degradation of waste gas; besides, the production raw materials are abundant and easy to obtain, and the phosphorus-doped tubular carbon nitride micro-nano material is good in stability and recyclable and has application prospects in waste gas treatment.
