Rationally designing high-efficiency catalysts for electrochemical two-electron water oxidation reaction (2e− WOR) to produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is extremely important, while designing bimetallic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is of great significance for effective 2e− WOR. Herein, MIL-53(Fe) and different proportions of Co-doped MIL-53(Fe) were prepared by a hydrothermal method. The structural characterization and elemental analysis showed that the Co ions were successfully doped into MIL-53(Fe) to form a MIL-53(Fe/Co) bimetallic MOF, and the morphology of MIL-53(Fe/Co) became more regular after Co doping. We found that the optimized MIL-53(Fe/Co) exhibits remarkable 2e− WOR performance, which gave an overpotential of 150 mV at 1 mA cm−2. The overpotential of MIL-53(Fe/Co) was approximately 220 mV (at 1 mA cm−2) lower than that of MIL-53(Fe), which may be attributed to the change of microstructure of MIL-53(Fe) after Co doping and the synergistic effect between Fe/Co. Our work introduces a strategy for designing bimetallic MOF-based electrocatalysts, opening up new possibilities for efficient 2e− WOR systems.

The risks associated with dye wastewater to the ecological environment are becoming increasingly significant. The efficient utilization and effective protection of water resources have become a persistent challenge. Employing coupling technologies to enhance the wastewater treatment process is an effective strategy for achieving sustainable water resource utilization. Herein, composite catalysts with iron-based metal-organic frameworks loaded with molybdenum disulfide (Fe-MOF@MoS₂) were prepared by a hydrothermal approach. The Fe-MOF@MoS 2 composite catalysts demonstrated superior degradation efficiencies towards various organic dyes like methylene blue, rhodamine B, and Congo red, especially in conditions of low hydrogen peroxide concentration and ultrasonic vibration. Results indicated that after 30 minutes of piezoelectric-Fenton-like treatment, the removal efficiency of the above organic dyes exceeded 90 %. The piezoelectric effect led to efficient cyclic conversion of Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ ions, while the inclusion of MoS 2 enhanced H 2 O 2 activation efficiency. Moreover, the Fe-MOF@MoS 2 catalyst displayed remarkable recycling capabilities, retaining 90 % of its initial catalytic activity even after six degradation cycles. Thus, the development of composite catalysts with combined piezoelectric and Fenton-like functions holds great promise for improving organic dye wastewater treatment and safeguarding environmental and water resources.

Performance enhancement of Fe-C materials for Cu 2+ removal, removal capacity, and pH range of applicability is achieved through the environmentally friendly, long-lasting magnetic fields in this study. Specifically, the utilization of the magnetic field to the Fe-C materials significantly improves the performance of Cu 2+ removal in contrast to the single Fe-C, which also brings about improvement under various water condition parameters. The concentrations of Cu 2+ , Cu + , Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ in solution were monitored, and the relevant properties of Fe-C materials were characterised. Results showed that Cu 2+ was removed by reduction of Fe-C material either in solution or after adsorption onto the surface of the material. Additionally, the magnetic field accelerated the exposure of the active sites present in the material, leading to the acceleration of adsorption of Fe-C to Cu 2+ for reduction and removal, as well as accelerating mass transfer. In addition, the magnetic field facilitated Fe-C materials' active sites and expedited the adsorption of Fe-C onto Cu 2+ for reduction and removal, as well as accelerated mass transport. Furthermore, it was verified that MF maintained a positive reinforcing impact on the Fe-C micro-electrolysis system for eliminating other heavy metal ions, with a particular emphasis on paramagnetic heavy metal ions. This research has expanded our understanding of the mechanism underlying Fe-C/MF micro-electrolysis system, and aided in the application in Fe-C/MF micro-electrolysis system for the remediation of heavy metal ions present in water environment.

Thiocyanate (SCN − ), a non-volatile inorganic pollutant, is commonly found in various types of industrial wastewater, which is resistant to hydrolysis and has the potential to be toxic to organisms. Premagnetized iron-copper-carbon ternary micro-electrolytic filler (pre-Fe/Cu/C) was prepared to degrade SCN − . Pre-Fe/Cu/C exhibited the most significant enhancement effect on SCN − removal when magnetized for 5 min with an intensity of 100 mT, and the SCN − removal rate was the highest at an initial pH of 3.0 and an aeration rate of 1.6 L/min. The electrochemical corrosion and electron transfer in the pre-Fe/Cu/C system were confirmed through SEM, XPS , FTIR , XRD , and electrochemical tests. This resulted in the formation of more corrosion products and multiple cycles of Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ and Cu 0 /Cu + /Cu 2+ . Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) were utilized to illustrate the oxygen adsorption properties of the materials and the participation of reactive oxygen species ( 1 O 2 , ·O 2 − , and ·OH) in SCN − removal. The degradation products of SCN − were identified as SO 4 2− , HCO 3 − , NH 4 + , and N 2 . This study introduced the use of permanent magnets for the first time to enhance Fe/Cu/C ternary micro-electrolytic fillers, offering a cost-effective, versatile, and stable approach that effectively effectively enhanced the degradation of SCN − .

Constructing cost-efficient and robust Fe-MIL-based photocatalysts for efficiently photodegrading antibiotics is highly appealing, however, their intrinsic defects, particularly unsatisfied visible light harvesting efficiency and rapid recombination of charge carriers, provide significant challenges. Herein, oxygen-vacancy-rich Bi 2 WO 6 -OVs/NH 2 -MIL-88B (Fe) composites were successfully constructed via a two-step approach consisting of a hydrothermal reaction followed by NaBH 4 treatment. The chemical compositions, microstructure, morphology, as well as optical properties of the as-prepared samples were thoroughly established. The optimized Bi 2 WO 6 -OV(40)/NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe) photocatalyst exhibited the maximum photocatalytic efficiency (95.3 %) for the photodegradation of Norfloxacin (NOR), which was considerably greater than that of the heterostructure (56.9 %). The enhancement of photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the collaborative effect between oxygen vacancies and hybrid heterojunctions, which jointly enhances photoexcited electron generation and accelerates charge transfer. Furthermore, from the perspective of practical applications, the effects of pH, NOR concentration, and photocatalyst reuse were carefully investigated. The radical trapping experiments and ESR results verified that superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ), holes (h + ), and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) were the main active species in the NOR degradation process, and the possible photocatalytic mechanism was speculated accordingly. This research provides a promising approach to fabricating Fe-MOF-based heterojunctions with surface oxygen vacancy defect modification for the photodegradation of antibiotics.

The construction of heterojunctions between non-noble-metal based compounds affords a scheme for accelerating the reaction kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) without using precious mental materials, which is extremely important but remains challenging. Herein, the heterogeneous structure between Fe 60 Co 10 Ni 10 Cr 10 Mn 10 medium-entropy alloy (MEA) and FeS 2 is developed by a mechanical alloying approach. The resulting MEA-30 wt%FeS 2 delivers a high OER activity with a low overpotential of 261.6 mV at 10 mA/cm 2 , along with Tafel slope of 52.7 mV/dec in 1.0 mol/L KOH solution, superior to the commercial RuO 2 . The combination of detailed characterization techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculation reveals that the heterojunctions between Fe-based MEA and FeS 2 generates the synergistic effect on the activation and formation steps of OOH*, thus promoting the OER reaction kinetics. Furthermore, the abundant active sites provided by the reconstructions of MEA-30 wt%FeS 2 during OER process also contributes to the catalytic performance. This work greatly expands the application scope of medium-entropy materials and provides a new method for the fabrication of novel heterogeneous electrocatalyst of Fe-based MEA and FeS 2 .

In this work, ultrasonic-assisted laser cladding technology was employed to fabricate shape memory alloy (SMA) coatings composed of Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni on the surface of 304 stainless steel. Both experimental and simulated results unequivocally demonstrate a substantial improvement in both microhardness and wear resistance of the metal surface. Subsequently, a superhydrophobic coating with an “armor-like” structure was comprehensively prepared by integrating femtosecond laser (FSL) and nano SiO 2 spray-coating techniques. The creation of this microstructure on the coating surface efficiently facilitated the high-efficiency embedding of nano SiO 2 particles. Notably, the modified SMA coating exhibited stable superhydrophobic properties and exceptional corrosion resistance. This research not only provides novel approaches and methods for the preparation and modification of Fe-based memory alloy coatings but also highlights potential applications in the corrosion-resistant field. The work offers valuable insights for researchers in the field of materials science, emphasizing the synergistic effects of ultrasound-assisted laser cladding technology, femtosecond laser, and nano SiO 2 spraying techniques. It provides robust support for the development of new functional coatings.

The extensive use of organic dyes has led to significant water pollution. Using lignocellulosic waste as a precursor for catalysts preparation for sewage remediation presents an effective alternative with numerous advantages in sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental compatibility. In this work, wood fiber waste collected from wood processing plants was decorated with Prussian blue (PB) and then annealed to produce carbonized wood fiber catalyst (Fe 3 C@Fe-CB). In the presence of peroxymonosulfate (PMS), the prepared catalyst could achieve over 98.69 % efficiency in degrading methylene blue (MB) solutions (20 mg/L) in 60 min across a pH range of 3 to 11. Electrochemical test and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis respectively verified that electron transfer pathway and radical pathway were the key factors for the degradation of MB. Cyclic degradation tests demonstrated that the degradation efficiency remained above 93.67 % after five recycling experiments. Moreover, the used magnetic catalyst can be easily recycled by magnet. This study proposed a facile and sustainable carbonized wood fiber catalyst decorated by Fe 3 C@Fe-CB, which could realize efficient elimination of organic dyes. Moreover, we offered a novel choice for dyes-polluted water treatment and paving a new route for converting low-value lignocellulosic waste to high-value utilizations.

Background: In sepsis, the lung is one of the worst affected organs, often leading to acute lung injury (ALI). More and more evidence suggests that macrophages are also involved in the pathogenesis of ALI. In our previous study, we successfully synthesized Iron-capsaicin-based nanoparticles (Fe-CAP NPs) and found that it could inhibit the secretion of inflammatory cytokines to alleviate ALI. Here, we further explore the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Fe-CAP NPs.Methods: Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) and C57 mice were divided into four groups: control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group, CAP + LPS group and Fe-CAP + LPS group. Western blot and Immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of macrophage phenotypic markers CD86 and CD206 in BMDM and lung tissue. Fluorescence microbeads, Transwell and ROS kit were used to detect the phagocytosis, migration and ROS clearing capability of BMDM. Western blot was used to detect the expression of JAK2/STAT3 pathway and apoptosis proteins in BMDM. TUNEL kit and H&E staining were used to evaluate apoptosis and pathological changes in lung tissue.Results: In vitro, CD86 expression was increased in LPS, but decreased after Fe-CAP pretreatment. CD206 expression was the opposite. Fe-CAP reduced phagocytosis, migration and scavenged ROS in LPS-treated BMDM. Fe-CAP inhibited P-JAK2 and P-STAT3 expression and reduced apoptosis. In vivo, Fe-CAP improved lung histopathology and reduced apoptosis in lung tissue of LPS group. CD86 expression was increased in lung tissue of LPS group, but decreased in Fe-CAP preconditioning, and CD206 expression was reversed.Conclusion: Fe-CAP NPs could alleviate sepsis-induced ALI by regulating the polarization and function of macrophages, reducing ROS level and apoptosis.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) as photo-Fenton-like catalysts have attracted widespread attention in water purification. However, the development of SACs with renewability, cleanliness, high mass loading, and raw material abundance is a formidable challenge to achieve efficient pollutant removal. In this study, we fabricated high-performance Fe-nanocluster embedded biomass-derived carbon (Fe/Bio-C) from Ficus altissima wastes for quinolone antibiotics degradation. The high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy with aberration correction (AC-HAADF-STEM) and X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS) revealed that the Fe/Bio-C exhibited a porous structure with abundant Fe-N 4 active sites. The Fe/Bio-C catalysts achieved an exceptional efficiency of 98.6 % for the removal of the representative quinolone antibiotic, namely lomefloxacin (LOM), within 30 min. Furthermore, an in-depth exploration was conducted to assess the influence of reaction parameters on degradation performance, kinetics, toxicity, and mechanism. The free radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra demonstrated the existence of ·O 2 − , 1 O 2 , ·OH, SO 4 · − in the reaction system and the ·O 2 − radicals played a relatively important role in the degradation progress. This work broaden the avenue for constructing metal-nanocluster photocatalysts with the high reactivity, low metal leaching, and universality to various pollutants.

With the rising prevalence of lithium-ion batteries, efficient recovery of metal ions, particularly those potentially released from LiFePO 4 anodes, has become critical. Given that both Fe 3+ and Li + ions can form electrostatic adsorptive interactions, achieving effective separation of conventional adsorbent materials becomes challenging. This study presents an amino acid-functionalized nanocellulose hydrogel (ANH) synthesized by incorporating L-threonine, which significantly enhances the selective adsorption of Fe 3+ in a mixed-ion environment by leveraging coordination differences between Li + and Fe 3+ . The morphology, functional groups, and pore structure of ANH were extensively characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and mercury intrusion porosimetry techniques. Through batch experiments, the adsorption thermodynamics and isotherms of ANH for Fe 3+ were examined. Furthermore, the adsorption selectivity of ANH for Li + and Fe 3+ was evaluated in a mixed-ion system, revealing that the adsorption capacity for Fe 3+ was four times higher than for Li + at elevated concentrations. The adsorption mechanism of Li + /Fe 3+ was elucidated through multi-scale simulations, and the influence of varying amino acid grafting degree on adsorption metrics, such as solvent-accessible area and hydrogen bonding numbers, was investigated. The combination of experimental and theoretical results demonstrates the potential of ANH to inform the development of high-performance, selective adsorbents.

Constructing 2D geometric structure and optimize electronic structure of transition metal oxide have been demonstrated to be effective strategy to reinforce its electrochemical dinitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) performances. But combining these two advantages into metal oxide based electrocatalyst simultaneously to achieve synergic effects remains one technological challenge but very significant. Here, a self-sacrificing template coupling with Fe doped strategy were proposed to optimize the geometric and electronic structure of Zr-based electrocatalyst. Experimental results revealed that the optimal sample 2Fe-YSZ was endowed with uniform 2D heterostructures, rich oxygen vacancy and increased electronic density, which induced by the framework Fe element. These traits thus confer the 2Fe-YSZ produced through extensive exposure to extra active sites, significantly boosting the absorption and activation of N 2 molecules. And the DFT calculation further validates the promotive effect of framework Fe. As expected, in the electrocatalytic NRR test, 2Fe-YSZ demonstrated high Faradaic efficiency (38.89 %) and NH 3 yield rate (19.58 μg h −1 mg −1 ) at − 0.5 V in 0.1 M HCl, comparable to most Zr-based electrocatalytic materials for ambient NRR. This geometric/electronic structure engineering strategy could provide an idea the rational design of efficient NRR catalysts.
