Abstract Pesticide wastewater is difficult to treat, and it is necessary to develop a new anode material electrochemical oxidation to efficiently degrade pesticide wastewater. DIL-PbO2-Ti/BDD electrodes with better electrocatalytic oxidation performance were obtained by using dicationic ionic liquid (DIL) for assisted electrodeposition of PbO2 modified boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes. At a current density of 100 mA cmāˆ’2 and a temperature of 25 °C, the DIL-PbO2-Ti/BDD electrode was used as anode and titanium plate as cathode. The electrochemical window and oxygen evolution potential (OEP) of the DIL-PbO2-Ti/BDD electrode obtained by CV testing at a scan rate of 50 mV sāˆ’1 in 1 M H2SO4 were 4.12 and 3.29 V, respectively. Under the conditions of current density of 100 mA cmāˆ’2, 25 °C, pH 12, salt content of 8%, chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 24,280.98 mg Lāˆ’1, and total nitrogen (TN) content of 5268 mg Lāˆ’1, after electrification for 12 h, the removal efficiency of COD and TN reached 64.88 and 67.77%, respectively, indicating that the DIL-PbO2-Ti/BDD electrode has excellent electrocatalytic performance. In order to further understand the mechanism of electrochemical degradation of pesticide wastewater, HPLC-MS was used to detect the intermediates in the degradation process, and the possible degradation pathways were proposed in turn.
