Catalysts with high catalytic performance are crucial for the catalytic ozonation of organic wastewater. This study synthesized an efficient, stable, and practical Fe-Mn/Al 2 O 3 ozone catalyst for wastewater treatment using an impregnation calcination method, and applied it in the catalytic ozonation of wastewater. When the concentration of manganese nitrate was 0.15 mol/L, the Mn/Fe ratio was 3:1, the immersion time was 24 hours, the calcination temperature was 500 ℃, and the calcination time was 4 hours, the prepared Fe-Mn/Al 2 O 3 had the best catalytic effect on simulated wastewater, with a chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency of 73.6%. At the same time, the physicochemical properties of the catalyst were investigated, and the catalytic effect of the catalyst on actual coking wastewater was investigated on a laboratory scale. When the ozone concentration was 20 mg/L, the gas flow rate was 0.5 L/min, the catalyst concentration was 400 g/L, and the pH was 7.02, the actual COD removal efficiency of coking wastewater was 71.6%. The pilot test results showed that the COD of the treated coking wastewater could stably meet the standard (COD<80 mg/L), with an average COD removal rate of about 58.3%, indicating that the Fe-Mn/Al 2 O 3 had high catalytic activity and good stability. Kinetic analysis showed that the degradation process of organic pollutants followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. The results of water quality analysis such as conventional water quality indicators, fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular weight classification indicated that the large molecular organic pollutants were efficiently degraded. Mechanism analysis indicated that the active components of the catalyst reacted with ozone through electron transfer to enhance the ozone utilization efficiency and efficiently remove organic pollutants. This study can provide theoretical support and technical reference for the standardized discharge of coking wastewater in the future.

Unlocking the full potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for water-splitting applications requires innovative strategies to enhance their catalytic efficiency and stability. Here, we introduce a Mo-doped Fe-based MOF (MoFe-NH2-BDC) with a unique 2D nanosheet and plate-like morphology to revolutionize the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Mo incorporation optimizes electronic properties, accelerates charge transfer, and dynamically reconstructs the catalyst surface into highly active FeOOH species, ensuring long-term performance. This next-generation electrocatalyst achieves an ultra-low overpotential of 254 mV at 20 mA cm‒2, with a rapid Tafel slope of 66 mV dec‒1, surpassing conventional RuO2 catalysts. Operando Raman and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy reveal that Mo facilitates an adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM), stabilizing intermediates and boosting reaction kinetics. In a practical two-electrode system, MoFe-NH2-BDC (+) || Pt/C (−) demonstrates an exceptional cell voltage of 1.58 V at 100 mA cm‒2, maintaining stability for 85 h. These results underscore the transformative impact of Mo doping in MOFs, paving the way for highly efficient, durable, and scalable electrocatalysts for sustainable energy applications.

MoS 2 /MIL-88A (Fe) composite catalyst was prepared by in-situ formation method. The material was characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD and XPS, and the Rhodamine B(RhB) was activated and degraded by persulfate (PMS). The results showed that M-10/M 1:2 had the best degradation effect on RhB, the rate constant was 0.66420 min −1 , and the degradation rate could reach 1.89–14 times that of other doped composite catalysts. The SEM results showed that M − 10 had the least sulfur content, fewer MoS 2 flower layers and more exposed Mo 4+ atoms, which improved the electron transfer efficiency and accelerated the degradation reaction. The XPS spectra before and after M-10/M 1:2 reaction showed that the REDOX reaction of Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ and Mo 4+ /Mo 6+ on the catalyst surface played an important role in the activation of PMS. The results of free radical capture experiment and ESR test showed that the main active substances in M-10/M 1:2 /PMS reaction system were SO 4 •− , 1 O 2 , •O 2 − , and •OH, which only played a role in the degradation of RhB. Finally, based on the ESR results of M-10/M 1:2 /PMS system and the changes of Fe and Mo elements in XPS characterization before and after the reaction, the degradation mechanism of M-10/M 1:2 /PMS system was proposed.

Integrating the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with the carbon oxidation reaction (COR) is a promising method for producing H₂ with lower energy consumption. However, due to the passivation effect of oxygen functional groups (OFGs) for COR and Fe³⁺, achieving efficient and sustainable carbon oxidation to assist water electrolysis for hydrogen production remains a challenge over the past decades. This study introduced [EDTA·Fe(III)] – as a mediator to promote COR. [EDTA·Fe(III)] – effectively prevented the oxidation layer on the carbon surface from anchoring Fe (III) and reactivated the carbon that had been passivated by the oxidation layer. Density functional theory calculations indicated that the notable COR activity resulted from [EDTA·Fe(III)] – effectively lowering the vertical ionization potential of carbon, without being affected by OFGs. Notably, in the HER||COR-[EDTA·Fe(III)] – system, a cell voltage of merely 0.74 V is sufficient to reach a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , with the corresponding energy consumption being 1.76 kWh Nm −3 (H 2 ). This strategy offers new insights into achieving stable, low-energy hydrogen production via water electrolysis.

Developing low-cost, efficient, and scalable non-precious metal electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a critical challenge in the field of energy conversion. Among various candidates, Fe-N-doped carbon materials have garnered attention as promising alternatives to commercial Pt/C catalysts for ORR. In this study, we report an Fe-N catalyst synthesized by incorporating iron phthalocyanine withCinnamomum longepaniculatumwaste leaves as the carbon source. This catalyst exhibited an excellent four-electron ORR activity and the half-wave potential (E1/2) reaches 0.875 V, which was superior to that of commercial Pt/C (E1/2= 0.864 V). Additionally, the catalyst exhibits superior methanol tolerance and stability compared to commercial Pt/C. This approach, which utilizes biomass waste for the synthesis of electrocatalysts, not only provides an effective solution for reducing environmental waste but also addresses the issue of sluggish cathodic ORR kinetics in fuel cells, making it suitable for low-cost, large-scale industrial production.

A variety of Cu-Fe oxide supported on Na 2 CO 3 -modified activated carbon (CuFeNaAC-X) catalysts were prepared via the impregnation and calcination methods and their desulfurization performance was evaluated at low-temperature. By optimizing the loading content of Cu-Fe, the sulfur capacity of the CuFeNaAC-5 reached a maximum of 430.09 mg/g, surpassing most activated carbon (AC) catalysts. EPR testing revealed that the loading of Cu-Fe oxide can activate oxygen to form superoxide radicals ( O 2 - ·), thereby promoting the catalytic oxidation of H 2 S. XPS testing revealed that upon loading of Cu-Fe oxide, the formation of FeOOH can facilitate the catalytic oxidation of H 2 S to sulfur (S) through a chain reaction. Combining EPR and XPS analyses, Na 2 CO 3 modification modulates the content of O 2 - ·, directing the formation of S and then significantly improving the catalyst’s desulfurization efficiency. Furthermore, CO 2 -TPD testing revealed that Na 2 CO 3 modification promotes the ionization of H 2 S to HS - , thereby enhancing the catalyst’s desulfurization performance. Based on the distribution of sulfur species in used catalysts, and the results of characterizations, a possible desulfurization mechanism of CuFeNaAC-X has been proposed.

A superamphiphobic microporous array surface was prepared for the first time by adding diamagnetic MoS₂ particles in the process of magnetic field-assisted jet electrodeposition in this paper. The diamagnetic MoS₂ particles were added to the electrodeposition solution. Then, the edges of MoS₂ provided preferential nucleation and deposition sites, and thus they were codeposited on the substrate surface with Ni²⁺ and Fe²⁺. With a magnetic field, the magnetization effect made the microstructures with the same magnetic pole repel each other and they were connected by the MoS₂ to form micropores. Finally, the superamphiphobic effect was achieved through low surface energy modification. Experiments showed that when the concentration of MoS₂ was 6 g/L and the magnetic field intensity was 50 mT, a Ni-Fe-MoS₂ surface with a longitudinal “olive-shaped” microporous structure could be prepared on the substrate. The contact angles of the deposition layer surface to water and oil were 160.87° and 153.92°. In addition, the surface of the deposition layer had good friction performance. The wear debris generated after friction and wear filled the gaps in the hole structure, which leveled the surface of the deposition layer. Moreover, the wear debris produced rolling friction during friction and wear, reducing the dry friction coefficient of the deposition layer surface to as low as 0.153, and the weight-loss rate after friction and wear was only 0.05 %. This paper provided a method for forming a superamphiphobic microstructure on the surface of the deposition layer under the coupling effect of diamagnetic MoS₂ and a magnetic field, which was of great significance for the efficient and rapid preparation of superamphiphobic surfaces with a low friction coefficient.

The hydrogenation of glucose to sorbitol using Raney-Ni is a well-established process in industry, but it faces challenges such as high mannitol content, nickel leaching, and catalyst pyrophoricity. Here, Ni 6 Fe 1 /Al 2 O 3 nanoflower with high sorbitol selectivity and stability was synthesized from Ni x Fe y /Al-LDH precursors, where the distribution of iron in the alloy phase and support can be well-regulated. XANES and FT-EXAFS spectra verified the presence of Fe in the catalyst as NiFe alloy and FeO x . Multiple evidences unveiled that the NiFe alloy phase significantly improving the yield of sorbitol and the iron oxide species can regulate the acidity of the support, thus effectively reducing the byproduct mannitol. Delightfully, the optimal Ni 6 Fe 1 /Al 2 O 3 catalyst achieved a sorbitol yield of 99% and a mannitol yield of 0.45%, showing a significant advantage over Ni/Al 2 O 3 (77% and 1.3%) and Raney-Ni (57% and 1.3%) catalysts. Theoretical calculations indicate that the NiFe alloy surface is more conducive to glucose adsorption and sorbitol desorption, and the intrinsic high activity of NiFe alloy phase is due to the downshift of d-band center, which facilitates H* dissociation from the anti-bonding orbital. This study provides significant insights for designing catalysts with high activity and selectivity in converting lignocellulosic biomass.

Introducing polarity in traditional metal-N4 catalytic sites and strengthening the adsorption of polar NO2* intermediate are advantageous for the deep reduction of nitrate into ammonia. Herein, the planar chlorination engineering strategy successfully introduced the C–Cl bonds adjacent to the Fe–N4 catalytic site with higher polarity, effectively boosting the catalytic activity for the nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR). The maximal NH3 yield rate and the corresponding turnover frequency (TOF) value catalyzed by the Fe–N4/CNCl catalyst were 1.82 mg h–1 cm–2 and 245 h–1 at −0.83 V vs RHE, which were 3.4 times and 2.7 times those of the traditional Fe–N4/CN catalyst without polarity, respectively. The Fe–N4/CNCl catalyst also exhibited satisfactory stability during consecutive 15 cycles. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation revealed that the planar chlorination engineering of the Fe–N4 site with higher polarity strengthened the adsorption of polar NO2* intermediate, facilitated the deep reduction of nitrate into ammonia, lowered the energy barrier of rate-determining step (RDS) and thus improved the catalytic activity. This work exhibited the enormous advantage of a planar chlorination engineering strategy for enhancing the activity of electrocatalysis by introducing polarity in the traditional metal-N4 catalytic site.

Rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) hold great potential in next-generation sustainable energy storage because of their high energy density, safety, and environmental friendliness. Nevertheless, the sluggish kinetics of the air cathode hinder their energy efficiency and cycling stability. Herein, we report a bridging strategy to fabricate a free-standing air cathode (NCNTs-Fe/CMF), consisting of the crosslinked and interconnected Fe nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated on the N-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs-Fe), which are tightly bound to a carbon nanotube macro film (Fe/CMF) substrate to activate Fe NPs sites. The bridging effect of NCNTs-Fe/CMF endows excellent interfacial contact, a large specific surface area, and high electrical conductivity, accelerating electron transfer and promoting oxygen mass transfer/diffusion. In addition, the synergy between activated Fe NPs and N-doping enriches abundant nitrogen species, further facilitating the electrocatalytic process. As a result, the NCNTs-Fe/CMF exhibits excellent bifunctional catalytic activity, featuring a half-wave potential of 0.88 V and an overpotential of 340 mV at 10 mA cm -2 . Furthermore, the assembled rechargeable ZAB based on the NCNTs-Fe/CMF air cathode delivers a satisfactory power density of 130.0 mW cm -2 and outstanding cycling durability up to 200 h at 5 mA cm -2 . This work provides a bridging design strategy for developing highly efficient and stable free-standing air electrodes.

The construction of hollow structures and the incorporation of metal nanoparticles have been shown to be two potential approaches to achieving high-performance microwave absorption. In this study, a hollow polyhedron material featuring an FeN/Fe-doped carbon matrix was synthesized by an acidification corrosion and pyrolysis strategy. The formation of heterojunctions, coupled with the design of hollow structures, significantly improved the dielectric loss capacity of the material. Furthermore, the incorporation of magnetic metal nanoparticles not only increased the magnetic loss but also enriched the loss mechanisms of the material, leading to an overall improvement in the magnetic loss. Under the synergistic effects of these factors, the material exhibited exceptional microwave absorption properties. In particular, at a material thickness of only 2.3 mm, the minimum reflection loss value of the FeN/Fe@HC nanocomposite reached −64.5 dB with an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.1 GHz. These results further highlight the importance of a hollow structure design and metal atom doping in improving microwave absorption performance.

Visible-light-active Fe-2MI assemblies were prepared at room temperature using 2-Methylimidazole (2MI) as organic ligand to form complex with Fe(II) or Fe(III). TGA and XRD characterizations indicated that Fe(II) can form more stable complex and higher coordinating percentage with 2MI relative to Fe(III). Besides, Fe(II)-2MI displayed amorphous state with larger BET surface area and higher photocurrent response. At very low catalyst dosage (0.1 g/L), highest activity for Cr(VI) reduction can be achieved using Fe(II)-2MI as photocatalyst. The estimated pseudo-first-order rate constant (0.021 min −1 ) was 1.4 and 2.1 times that on Fe(III)-2MI and Fe(II)-NaOH, respectively. The well-known ZIF-67 (Co-2MI), ZIF-7 (Zn-2MI) and Fe-MOFs with other organic ligands (H 2 BDC, NH 2 -H 2 BDC or FA) were also used as control samples. Optimal activity for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) was achieved by Fe(II)-2MI. The operating factors was optimized at acidic pH (2.0), higher catalyst dosage (0.3 g/L) and appropriate concentration of coexisting organics (2.0 mM) within the tested range. The stability of Fe(II)-2MI was investigated at different pH values (2, 3 and 4.64), which all displayed good stability. Mechanism study indicated that Fe(II)-2MI has adequate conduction and valence band positions for Cr(VI) reduction and organics oxidation, respectively. Therefore, the as-prepared amorphous Fe(II)-2MI assemblies may be cheap, stable and easy available candidate for the photocatalytic disposal of Cr(VI)-containing wastewaters.
