Electrodes material and electrolytes play an important role in defining energy storage performance of supercapacitors. Therefore, the selection of suitable electrode material as well as electrolyte is very crucial. In this work, hematite α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles supported rGO structure is synthesized by a low cost co-precipitation approach. The developed electrode is investigated for supercapacitor in 1.0 M KOH, Na 2 SO 4 and aqueous hybrid electrolyte. It is found that the fabricated (α-Fe 2 O 3 /rGO) electrode delivers an improved specific capacitance of 1272 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 in hybrid electrolyte as compare to 700 F g −1 for KOH and 978 F g −1 for Na 2 SO 4 electrolyte. Moreover, the electrode shows excellent cyclic stability in contrast to the pristine α-Fe2O3 electrode. Interestingly, the assembled prototype asymmetric coin cell supercapacitor (α-Fe 2 O 3 /rGO//AC) device achieved a specific capacitance of 152 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and energy density of 47.1 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 245.5 W kg −1 . Moreover, the device keeps 94% capacitance retention up to 8,000 cycles at 6 A g −1 . The improved performance is attributing to the increase in conductivity and charge kinetics in hybrid electrolyte. It is suggested that α-Fe 2 O 3 /rGO structure is a useful material for supercapacitors in the presence of hybrid electrolyte.

Ionic liquids are widely employed as electrolytes for electrochemical oxygen sensing due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. Recently, combining inorganic electrochemically active materials with ionic liquids are becomes intensively interesting to improve oxygen sensor performance. In this paper, two imidazolyl-based ionic liquids 1-ethyl-2,3-dimethylimidazole bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)imide [Emmim][TFSI] and 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazole bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)imide [Bmmim][TFSI] with three saturated alkyl substituents on the aromatic ring were prepared by a traditional two-step method. Under the electrochemical test, both ionic liquids exhibit a certain responsibility to different concentrations of oxygen. Subsequently, α-Fe 2 O 3 /rGO was prepared by hydrothermal method and then mixed with the ionic liquids to prepare a composite ionic liquid electrolyte for detecting a wide range of oxygen concentrations. The response performance of prepared composite electrolyte toward the oxygen is improved, which exhibits a sensitivity of 0.1041 μA/[%O 2 ] to gradually changed oxygen concentration and a linear correlation (R 2 ) of 0.9997 between oxygen reduction peak currents. Hence, the results show that the pure ionic liquid has a certain ability to detect oxygen, while adding α-Fe 2 O 3 /rGO compounds further improve responsibility, stability and sensitivity of composite electrolyte to oxygen.

The abnormal contain of uric acid (UA) and tryptophan (Trp) in body could cause the liver and kidney function decline. The simultaneous detection of UA and Trp for early prevention of these liver and kidney diseases is significant. This study had developed the α-Fe 2 O 3 /reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for modification of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in (UA) and (Trp) detection. α-Fe 2 O 3 /rGO composite was synthesized through hydrothermal-calcination method. The optimal electrochemical conditions, including the pH values, scan rate, and accumulative parameters, were discussed for demonstrating the feasibility. Moreover, this α-Fe 2 O 3 /rGO/GCE presented wide linear relationships (0.01–900 μM) and low detection limits (UA (3.56 nM) and Trp (16.4 nM)). The DFT theoretical calculation revealed that the enhanced performance is mainly due to the high electrocatalytic property of α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotube, high conductivity of rGO, and interaction effect between target biomolecule and modified electrode surface. Finally, the approving results were also acquired in detection of practical UA and Trp samples by α-Fe 2 O 3 /rGO modified GCE. The results indicate that α-Fe 2 O 3 /rGO could provide a new and highly advantageous approach for detection of UA and Trp.

In this study, α-Fe 2 O 3 /rGO was smoothly synthesized by a one-step method and employed to activate persulfate (PS) for the degradation of Bisphenol A (BPA) under sunlight. During the degradation experiment, the degradation rates of BPA for PS, α-Fe 2 O 3 /8% rGO, and α-Fe 2 O 3 /8% rGO/PS were 6.6%, 47.6%, and 99.1%, respectively, indicating that the introduction of α-Fe 2 O 3 /rGO and PS significantly enhanced the photocatalytic efficiency because that photocatalytic process and PS activation coupling system not only inhibited the recombination of photo-induced carrier pairs, but also reduced the energy consumption of PS activation. Moreover, electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) and trapping experiments were utilized to explore the active species generated during the reaction. The results showed that •OH and •SO 4 2- were the principal oxidative species in this reaction system. These results showed that Fe-loaded rGO has great potential for activating PS to decompose pollutants in water.

The promotion of magnetic field on catalytic performance has attracted extensive attention for a long time, and substantial improvements have been achieved in some catalysis fields. However, because the Zeeman energy is several orders of magnitude weaker, magnetic field seems unable to alter the band structure and has a negligible effect on semiconductor photocatalytic performance, which makes this task a great challenge. On the other hand, the spin-related behavior usually plays an important role in determining catalytic performance. For example, in some molecular catalysis, such as photosystem II, ferromagnetic alignment of the active material results in spin-oriented electrons, which are selected and accumulated at the interface, leading to great promotion of the oxygen evolution reaction activity. Here, we propose a magnetoresistance-related strategy to boost the carrier transfer efficiency and apply it in α-Fe2O3/reduced graphene oxide hybrid nanostructures (α-Fe2O3/rGO) to improve the photocatalytic performance under magnetic field. We show that both the degradation rate constant and photocurrent density of α-Fe2O3/rGO can be dramatically enhanced with the application of magnetic field, indicating the promotion of the photocatalytic performance.
