In order to improve the photothermal conversion performance of a phase change material (PCM) PEG2000, a photothermal conversion material Cu 2-x S was introduced to enhance its light absorbance. The influence of S/Cu stoichiometry and Fe 3+ doping modification ratio on the photoabsorption performance of Cu 2-x S was studied. The composite with photothermal conversion performance was obtained by combining PEG2000. The results show that Cu 2-x S (S2) doped with Fe/Cu stoichiometry ratio of 0.3:1 exhibits the best light absorption performance. Moreover, a small amount of additive of the modified Cu 2-x S (Cu 2-x Fe y S, 1.0 wt%) can greatly increase photothermal conversion and energy storage efficiency. The prepared composite can meet the practical application in the field of solar photothermal conversion.

Global warming has caused us to seek a sensible strategy to replace the energy consumption of the Haber–Bosch approach in manufacturing ammonia. NH3 is utilized in agriculture to produce fertilizer to gratify the rapid increase of human food demand. Herein, we report the construction of a heterojunction that adopted g-C3N5 and Fe3+-doped W18O49 (Fe-W18O49) for photocatalytic nitrogen fixation for the first time. The surface of g-C3N5 was porous and fluffy, and its band gap energy was relatively narrow, which could adjust the absorption range of the hybrid and improve the utilization efficiency of light energy. Fe-W18O49 nanowires were rich in oxygen vacancies (OVs) that provided sufficient active sites for nitrogen adsorption and activation. The generated complex had excellent electron and hole separation ability, and the photogenerated carriers were successfully distributed to two different substances, which significantly elevated the nitrogen fixation capacity of the catalyst. The formation rate of ammonia reached 131.6 μmol g−1 h−1 when Fe-W18O49/g-C3N5 was employed as the catalyst for nitrogen fixation, which was obviously enhanced as compared with pure g-C3N5 or Fe-W18O49. This has provided the possibility to construct an inexpensive nitrogen fixation catalyst with outstanding catalytic properties.

Near infrared reflective inorganic pigment YIn 1-x-y Mn y Fe x O 3 (x/y = 0.1–0.5) was prepared by solid state reaction. The X-ray diffraction analysis and CIE1976 L*a*b* colorimetric analysis reveal that the main phase of the sample is changed from YInO 3 phase to YFeO 3 phase and the color of the sample is changed from blue to black (x ≥ 0.4) with the increase of iron content. The brightness value of black pigment ranges from 23.27 to 32.12. When In 3+ is replaced by Fe 3+ and Mn 3+ , the band gap of the black sample is decreased from 1.73eV to 1.39eV. The near-infrared reflectance (R) and near-infrared solar reflectance (R*) of the sample reach the maximum when x = 0.4 and y = 0.1, which are 77.82% and 53.44%, respectively. YIn 1-x-y Mn y Fe x O 3 (x = 0.4–0.5, y = 0.1–0.5) black samples have higher near infrared reflectivity than common commercial black pigments. In the thermal insulation study, under the condition of infrared irradiation for 90 min, the internal air temperature difference between the iron car model coated with YIn 0.5 Mn 0.1 Fe 0.4 O 3 pigment and the iron car model coated with commercial iron black pigment can reach 7 °C. YIn 0.5 Mn 0.1 Fe 0.4 O 3 black pigment was soaked in 5% acid-alkali solution for 24 h, the chromaticity was almost unchanged before and after immersion, indicating that the sample has good chemical stability. The above properties show the potential of synthetic black pigments in the field of energy conservation.

Although self-polarized piezoelectric semiconductor photocatalysts significantly enhance the separation of internally generated photocarriers, their photocatalytic performance is constrained by insufficient internal polarisation and a wide bandgap. Additionally, the low concentration of oxygen in contaminated water limits the effectiveness of such photocatalysts. To the best of our knowledge, this study was the first to determine that the piezoelectric properties of Bi 2 MoO 6 (BMO), was due to the polarisation displacement of the MoO 6 octahedron that occurred along the x -axis, as revealed through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Subsequently, the self-polarisation characteristics of BMO were enhanced and the bandgap was reduced through Fe 3+ doping, as confirmed via atomic force microscopy, hysteresis loop measurements and DFT analysis, resulting in an increase in surface potential from 30.41 to 46.80 mV. Furthermore, an S-scheme WO 3 /Bi 2 MoO 6 :Fe 3+ heterojunction was developed to improve the surface separation of photoelectron–hole pairs. The piezoelectric photocatalytic performance of this sample was evaluated through the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and oxygen generation. Results indicated that the degradation rate of RhB reached 98.63 % within 25 min under the synergistic influence of light and ultrasound, which was 1.85 and 9.60 times higher than those of Bi 2 MoO 6 and WO 3 , respectively. Furthermore, the optimal oxygen production efficiency was 167.41 µmol·g −1 ·h −1 . This study provides a novel approach for designing more efficient piezoelectric photocatalysts.

The near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence (PersL) materials have attracted widespread attention owing to the unique self-sustained light with good penetrability. Currently, most of the reported NIR PersL materials are activated by Cr 3+ . Considering the potential toxicity of chromium ions, there is an urgent requirement to explore the Cr 3+ -free NIR phosphors. Herein, a novel NIR phosphor Sr 2 LuSbO 6 :Fe 3+ (SLSO:Fe 3+ ) is prepared and its luminescence properties are systematically studied. The Fe 3+ -activated Sr 2 LuSbO 6 exhibits a long-wavelength NIR emission band centered at 890 nm with a 110 nm full-width at half maximum (FWHM), and its PersL can last over 18 h. The phosphor shows excellent PersL stability even after being dispersed in solutions of different environments for 7 days. Furthermore, the PersL emitted by the phosphor can penetrate the 2 cm thickness beef, evidencing its good NIR PersL penetration property. This work provides a novel NIR PersL materials based on Fe 3+ luminescence for technological applications and also contributes to accelerate the development of new-generation Fe 3+ -doped NIR PersL phosphor toward versatile applications.

3Al 2 O 3 ·B 2 O 3 ·2SiO 2 ceramic fibers containing 0.01–1.09 wt% Fe 2 O 3 were successfully fabricated using a sol-gel method by adding Fe 3+ . All fibers possessed good strength and morphologies, and the effects of Fe 3+ on the microstructure, crystallization kinetics , and tensile strength of fibers were investigated. Results showed that added Fe 3+ promoted the crystallization of Al 4 B 2 O 9 phase since crystallization temperature and activation energy both decreased as the amount of Fe 2 O 3 increased. In addition, the morphology of Al 4 B 2 O 9 grains changed from globular to rod-like. The lattice parameters of Al 4 B 2 O 9 phase in fibers increased when Fe 3+ was added. XPS results confirmed that Fe 3+ broke down alumina network to create non-bridged oxygen bonds (NBO) that influenced lattice structure and shapes of Al 4 B 2 O 9 crystals. The addition of Fe 3+ is useful for regulating the microstructure and strength of 3Al 2 O 3 ·B 2 O 3 ·2SiO 2 fibers, and the tensile strength reached a maximum value of 1.5 GPa at 0.27 wt% Fe 2 O 3 .

Near-infrared (NIR) luminescent materials based on Fe 3+ are growing interest in recent years because of the low-toxicity, high-efficiency, and adjustable emission. In this work, a broadband NIR emitting β-Mg 3 Ga 2 GeO 8 : Fe 3+ with [Ga/GeO 4 ] tetrahedron for the replacement of Fe 3+ ion is synthesized in air. X-ray diffraction patterns are used to confirm the crystal structure and phase purity. The excitation spectrum is observed in the region from 210 to 550 nm due to the O 2− - Fe 3+ charge transfer and the d – d electron transitions in 3 d 5 orbit of Fe 3+ . A broadband NIR emission of β-Mg 3 Ga 2 GeO 8 : Fe 3+ with full width at half maximum (∼108 nm) in the region from 610 to 880 nm is assigned to the transition 4 T 1 ( 4 G) → 6 A 1 ( 6 S) of Fe 3+ ion. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra under different excitation wavelengths, concentration dependent PL spectra, time-resolved PL spectra, temperature dependent PL spectra, and lifetimes of β-Mg 3 Ga 2 GeO 8 : Fe 3+ are investigated. We confirm the luminous center (Fe 3+ ), the optimal Fe 3+ concentration (0.8 mol%), and the good thermal stability of β-Mg 3 Ga 2 GeO 8 : Fe 3+ . The luminescence mechanism is analyzed theoretically by the Tanabe-Sugano and energy level diagrams of Fe 3+ in β-Mg 3 Ga 2 GeO 8 : Fe 3+ , and the concentration and thermal quenching mechanisms are explained. The research results will be conducive to the development of new Fe 3+ -doped luminescence materials.

Herein, we reported the systematic investigation of synergistic photo-thermal-catalysis for NaBH 4 hydrolysis reaction based on zinc orthogermanate. A series of Zn 2 GeO 4 : x Fe 3+ ( x = 0 to 0.10) catalysts were prepared via solvothermal method. The H 2 evolution experiments demonstrated that the photogenerated holes trap OH − not only shifted the equilibrium of NaBH 4 hydrolysis reaction toward the direction of H 2 evolution, but also inhibited the recombination of photogenerated carriers. With the remarkable photo-thermal synergism for the as-prepared catalysts, the H 2 evolution rate in photo-thermal-driven condition had witnessed several times higher than that in mono-energy driven condition. The catalysts remained stable after circulation tests.

As one of the typical volatile organic compounds, toluene is harmful to human health and challenging to decompose effectively with traditional photocatalysts, such as TiO 2 or ZnO. Here, a trace Fe 3+ doped TiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 composite photocatalyst with abundant oxygen vacancies was successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method and subsequently impregnation treatment. The Fe 3+ doped TiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 were optimized by adjusting the molar ration of TiO 2 and Bi 2 WO 6 , and the optimal molar ratio was found to be TiO 2 :Bi 2 WO 6 = 1:2. The obtained Fe (0.1) -TB 2 with only 0.1 wt% Fe 3+ dopant exhibited superior photocatalytic activity with over 90% toluene removal efficiency after 180 min under visible light irradiation. A series of characterizations reveal that the improved photocatalytic activity of Fe 3+ doped TiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 can be attributed to synergistic effects between the extension of photogenerated carrier lifetime and the increase of visible light absorption range by narrowing the energy bandgap (shortened about 0.32 eV) and the formation of oxygen vacancies. Furthermore, hydroxyl radicals and holes as the key reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the photodegradation reaction were confirmed by electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments. Therefore, introducing Fe-ions into TiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 photocatalysts is an effective way to enhance the photocatalytic activities, and the modified catalysts can be considered as a promising material for decomposing toluene and other VOCs.

Recently, tungsten oxides have attracted extensive attention in the field of photochromic smart windows due to the naturally ultraviolet response, high luminous transmittance (Tlum), and substantial solar light modulation (ΔTsol). To promote its applications, limitations such as slow bleaching speed and poor reversibility need to be addressed urgently. Here, we proposed a Fe3+-doping mediated rapid electron transfer strategy to improve the overall photochromic performance of W18O49. By increasing the Fe3+ doping concentration, the bleaching speed of W18O49 films was significantly improved. Notably, films doped with 6 at% and 8 at% Fe3+ could be fully bleached within 5 min, with bleaching rates twice that of undoped films. This improvement is attributed to Fe3+ doping, which creates more oxygen vacancies in W18O49, facilitating the reduction of W6+ to W5+. Furthermore, the 6 at% Fe3+-doped W18O49 bilayer film exhibited excellent photochromic performance, with the ultrahigh Tlum and ΔTsol of 82.9% and 60.2%, respectively, fast photochromic speed (within 2 min), and nearly complete near-infrared light blocking in the colored state. These findings demonstrate the potential of Fe3+-doped W18O49 to significantly improve the performance of photochromic smart windows, offering promising avenues for energy-efficient building technologies.

This work details the synthesis of paramagnetic upconversion nanoparticles doped with Fe3+ in various morphologies via the thermal decomposition method, followed by comprehensive characterization of their structures, optical properties and magnetism using diverse analytical techniques. Our findings demonstrate that by precisely modulating the ratio of oleic acid to octadecene in the solvent, one can successfully obtain hexagonal nanodiscs with a consistent and well-defined morphology. Further adjustments in the oleic acid to octadecene ratio, coupled with fine-tuning of the Na+/F− ratio, led to the production of small-sized nanorods with uniform morphology. Significantly, all Fe3+-doped nanoparticles displayed pronounced paramagnetism, with magnetic susceptibility measurements at 1 T and room temperature of 0.15 emu g−1 and 0.14 emu g−1 for the nanodiscs and nanorods, respectively. To further enhance their magnetic properties, we replaced the Y-matrix with a Gd-matrix, and by fine-tuning the oleic acid/octadecene and Na+/F− ratios, we achieved nanoparticles with uniform morphology. The magnetic susceptibility was 0.82 emu g−1 at 1 T and room temperature. Simultaneously, we could control the nanoparticle size by altering the synthesis temperature. These upconversion nanostructures, characterized by both paramagnetic properties and regular morphology, represent promising dual-mode nanoprobe candidates for optical biological imaging and magnetic resonance imaging.

The excessive discharge of antibiotics into aquatic systems is a major issue in many countries worldwide and poses a threat to human health and the sustainable development of society. Hence, developing efficient treatment methods and purification technologies to degrade antibiotics is essential. Herein, we present the synthesis of low-cost, self-propelled tubular Fe3+-incorporated graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4-Fe@KF) micromotors using kapok fibers (KFs) as templates and their application as photo-catalysts for the photo-Fenton degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible-light irradiation. The g-C3N4-Fe@KF micromotors moved rapidly when being propelled by oxygen bubbles generated in a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution as a result of a photo-assisted Fenton reaction. The motion behavior of the g-C3N4-Fe@KF micromotors was dependent on the concentration of H2O2and the length of the micromotors. The propulsion mechanism was discussed in detail. The micromotors efficiently degraded antibiotics via the photo-Fenton process. Photo-Fenton degradation efficiency was attributed to the synergistic effects of the doped Fe3+and g-C3N4under visible-light irradiation and self-propulsion of the micromotors. In addition, the micromotors possessed good reusability, thereby efficiently realizing multiple cycles of degradation. The current work offers an avenue for the design of micromotors, using inexpensive approaches, for various potential environmental applications.
