An anodic TiO₂/g-C₃N₄ hetero-junction and cathodic WO₃/W were used to build a self-sustained catalytic fuel cell system for oxidizing rhodamine B or triclosan and reducing NO₃^--N to N₂ simultaneously. The WO₃ nano-catalyst was formed in situ by heating and oxidizing a tungsten wire in air. Cyclic voltammetry and current-time curves were used to characterize the electrochemical properties of the electrodes and system. Aeration and activation of molecular oxygen by self-biased TiO₂/g-C₃N₄ led to the formation of reactive oxidizing species in the fuel cell. The mechanism of simultaneous anodic oxidation of pollutants and cathodic reduction of nitrate was proposed. The spontaneously formed circuit and tiny current were used simultaneously in treating two kinds of wastewater in the reactor chambers, even without light illumination or an external applied voltage. This new catalytic pollution control route can lower energy consumption and degrade many other kinds of pollutants.
