To address the challenges posed by both the inherent limitations including aggregation and passivation of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) and the treatment of acidic chromium-containing wastewater under mild conditions, a three-dimensional sulfonated covalent organic framework (SCOF) polyacrylonitrile (PAN) blended membrane loaded with nZVI (Fe 0 /SCOF-PAN) was fabricated via a green steam-assisted multiphase blending method combined with freeze-drying. Innovatively, SCOF was introduced into the PAN matrix to achieve dual modification, where the electrostatic repulsion provided by sulfonic acid groups significantly improved the dispersion of nZVI. Additionally, the membrane structure created acidic microenvironment within its cavities, effectively mitigating nZVI passivation. Experimental results demonstrated that the Fe 0 /SCOF-PAN composite exhibits excellent nZVI loading capacity and high Cr(VI) removal performance. Compared with unmodified PAN-supported nZVI, the Cr(VI) removal efficiency increased by 33.8%, and the loading capacity improved by 21.9 mg/g, while the removal efficiency remained above 90% in actual wastewater. Based on pseudo-first-order kinetics modeling, Sips isotherm analysis, thermodynamic studies, and XPS characterization, the high removal efficiency of Fe 0 /SCOF-PAN was attributed primarily to the redox reactions involving nZVI and its derived Fe 2+ species, supplemented by the active sites and functional groups of SCOF, which contributed through electrostatic attraction and chelation. This study presents a low-energy strategy for synthesizing SCOF-PAN blended membranes, offering a novel approach for designing high-performance nZVI supported materials and advancing the treatment of acidic chromium-laden industrial wastewater.

Selective vanadium extraction from ultrahigh Cr/V ratios systems remains a key challenge, particularly preventing the generation of chromium-containing solid waste, which poses substantial environmental and material-handling concerns. To enable a cleaner vanadium recovery process from chromate systems, polyethyleneimine-functionalized α -CrOOH was designed via a two-step synthesis. The resulting PEI@CrOOH, enriched with abundant –NH + =/–NH 2 + - functional groups, integrates the intrinsic structural stability of α -CrOOH with the strong chelation capability of PEI, achieving a high equilibrium adsorption capacity of 120.18 mg·g −1 for V(V). In both Cr–V binary systems and simulated chromite leaching solutions, PEI@CrOOH exhibits pronounced selectivity toward vanadium over chromium. DFT calculations further elucidate the origin of this selectivity, revealing substantially more negative adsorption energies for H 3 V 10 O 28 3 ⁻ (−478.1 kJ·mol −1 ) compared with those for Cr 2 O 7 2 ⁻ (−214.9 kJ·mol −1 ) and HCrO 4 ⁻ (−141.7 kJ·mol −1 ). The adsorption mechanism is primarily attributed to coordination interactions and redox reactions, with additional contributions from electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding. PEI@CrOOH demonstrates excellent reusability, maintaining high adsorption efficiency over multiple regeneration cycles. Moreover, the spent adsorbent can be sustainably upcycled via calcination into high-purity Cr 2 O 3 (99.33%), thus eliminating secondary waste generation. This work presents a technically feasible strategy for the purification and selective extraction of vanadium from chromite leaching solutions.

Developing biomass-based solid acid catalysts and converting biomass-derived molecules into high-value chemicals has a dual promoting effect on the high-value utilization of waste biomass. This study introduces a groundbreaking one-pot hydrothermal strategy integrating biomass with MIL-101(Cr) precursor to fabricate hierarchical carbon-based catalysts for the highly efficient and selective dehydration of xylose to furfural, achieving 67.2%–72.0% furfural yield (a 33% enhancement over conventional biomass-derived catalysts) under optimized conditions (180°C, 3 h) in a toluene/water biphasic system. The modified hydrochar exhibits an ultra-high surface area of 2119.3 m 2 /g, abundant dual Lewis/Brønsted acid sites, and dispersed Cr 3+ active centers, enabled by synergistic MOF-templated modification engineering and biomass hydrothermal carbonization. Moreover, the correlation between the physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of modified hydrochar was analyzed. Notably, biomass feedstocks with low ash content and high nitrogen content can yield modified hydrochar with more acidic active sites, which exhibits superior catalytic activity. This study provides new ideas for the high-value utilization of waste biomass.

Coal-fired fly ash poses both environmental challenges and resource utilization potential. In this study, a fly ash-based geopolymer ecological remediation material (MFA-MB) was synthesized from fly ash and bentonite through alkaline roasting activation, montmorillonite acidification, and alkali-activated polycondensation. The structural characteristics and Cr(VI) adsorption performance of MFA-MB were systematically investigated. Compared with raw fly ash, MFA-MB exhibited a more developed mesoporous structure, increased surface activity, and enhanced specific surface area from 19.473 m2/g to 30.813 m2/g. Adsorption experiments demonstrated that MFA-MB showed enhanced Cr(VI) adsorption affinity and rapid adsorption equilibrium behavior. The adsorption process was exothermic and likely involved combined physical adsorption and surface interaction effects. Field experiments further showed that MFA-MB effectively reduced Cr(VI) accumulation in Chinese cabbage while promoting plant growth. At the optimal dosage, Cr concentrations decreased from 0.145 mg/kg to 0.015 mg/kg in roots and from 0.081 mg/kg to 0.009 mg/kg in leaves. These results suggest that MFA-MB exhibits promising potential for fly ash resource utilization and Cr(VI)-contaminated soil remediation.

Constructing a robust interfacial electric field is crucial for efficient spatial separation and directional migration of photogenerated carriers, which further boosts the performance of photocatalytic systems. In this study, a novel CF-supported SnS 2 /UiO-66-NH 2 high-low junction with intimate interface was fabricated via an in-situ solvothermal process. The optimal CF@SnS 2 /UiO-66-NH 2 -2 catalyst shows the best photocatalytic efficiency of 99.5% Cr(VI) removal at pH of 2.0 and nearly complete E. coli inactivation within 150 min, revealing its good photocatalytic redox capability. Moreover, the as-prepared composite possesses remarkable stability and desirable recycling performance. Mechanism analysis reveals that the intense internal electric field (IEF) and energy band bending are pivotal for promoting the separation and migration of charge carriers in the CF@SnS 2 /UiO-66-NH 2 high-low junction. This work offers new insights into the preparation and application of high-low junction photocatalysts.

Thermochemical heat storage based on inorganic salt hydrates is a promising approach to relieve the heat energy supply and demand conflicts, but there exist lots of defects of pure salts when applied to the thermochemical. This paper attempted to use functionalized Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as the porous matrices to improve the heat storage performance of inorganic salt hydrates. A series of MOFs/CaCl 2 composites based on MIL-101(Cr)-X (X = -NH 2 , –SO 3 H, H, –CH 3 , –F) were successfully synthesized and fully characterized by combining multiple techniques (i.e. powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy , energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, N 2 adsorption-desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy , thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry). The water sorption properties of the series of MOFs/CaCl 2 composites were studied during the hydration process, and a continuous adsorption/desorption experiment was also performed to investigate the cycle stability of the MOFs/CaCl 2 composites. The results show that the hydrophilic MOFs based composites have higher water sorption capacity (0.6 g(H 2 O)/g(sample) for MIL-101(Cr)–SO 3 H/CaCl 2 ) accompanied with higher heat storage density (1274 J/g for MIL-101(Cr)–SO 3 H/CaCl 2 ). Moreover, the series of MOFs all presented excellent cycle performance with little loss after continuous 17 adsorption/desorption cycles.

A bimetallic polycrystalline sensor (Cr/Fe-SNCM) having nanosized and high dispersion was designed and used for the electrochemical simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). Catalytic nanosized Cr/Fe were highly anchored on N/S/O-contained porous carbon with high dispersion and polycrystalline Cr/Fe via energetic mechanochemical method and high-temperature carbonization. The obtained Cr/Fe-SNCM exhibited high graphitized carbon supporter and endowed high electron transport and signal output for the whole sensor. Moreover, highly dispersed Cr/Fe sites and the polycrystalline form (metal-N/S/O) efficiently enhanced the catalytic reaction, leading to a limits of detection (based on the 3σ/m criterion) of 25.8 and 22.5 nM for DA and UA, respectively. This is 1–2 orders of magnitude lower than many state-of-the-art reported sensors. The Cr/Fe-SNCM 1.0 sensor exhibited wide working range (0.1 to 10.0 μM), high recovery (96–103%) and low relative standard deviation (RSD = 3.2–4.7%) for DA and UA in real serum samples, possessing high significance for practical large-scale applications.

To effectively utilize the hazardous industrial solid waste manganese residue (MR), a MR-derived Fe 2 O 3 -baesd photocatalyst with efficient charge transfer, abundant reactive sites and high redox performance was developed for simultaneously removing organic pollutants and heavy metals . Herein, a novel “confined growth” strategy was proposed to fabricate an amorphous MnO 2 decorated α-Fe 2 O 3 @geopolymer sphere (A-MnO 2 /Fe 2 O 3 @GS) Z-scheme heterojunction by ion exchange method, which was used as a photo-Fenton catalyst for efficiently reducing Cr(VI) and degrading ciprofloxacin (CIP). Characterization results reveal that the 3D hydrangea-like MnO 2 with low crystallinity could not only capture and accelerate electron transfer but also act as an electron conduction bridge and a surface oxygen adsorption site, resulting in efficient separation and utilization of charge. More importantly, the photocatalytic reduction capacity was greatly enhanced in Z-scheme heterojunction owing to the lower conduction band potential of MnO 2 . A-MnO 2 /Fe 2 O 3 @GS showed excellent photocatalytic activity with CIP removal of 99.1% within 40 min and Cr(VI) removal of 97.6% within 50 min, which were 8.13 and 3.47 times higher than those catalyzed by Fe 2 O 3 @GS, respectively. This can be ascribed to the formation of intimate interface, internal electrostatic field , and rich structure defects in the Z-scheme heterojunction. This work offers a new idea to construct Z-scheme photocatalysts with high reactivity for environmental modification.

High-efficiency interfacial charge transfer is the key to achieve better spatial carrier separation, and thus to develop advanced heterogeneous photocatalysts for environmental remediation. However, It still remains a great challenge to design and exploit the effective charge transfer scheme. Herein, a novel Z-scheme In 2 S 3 /BiOBr with S−O covalent bonding was prepared by hydrothermal and subsequent thermal annealing methods. The obtained photocatalysts were systematically characterized and used for tetracycline hydrochloride degradation and Cr(VI) reduction in aqueous solution. As a result, the optimized In 2 S 3 /BiOBr heterostructure (IS/BOB-39) exhibited superior photocatalytic activities for tetracycline hydrochloride degradation and Cr(VI) reduction under simulated solar light irradiation compared with individual materials. The Z-scheme transfer mechanism was corroborated by trapping experiments, ESR and XPS analysis , which provided an effective transfer pathway for spatial separation of carriers. Moreover, the formation of chemical S−O bond between In 2 S 3 and BiOBr, which acted as a specific bridge to expediently transmit interfacial electrons, showed a synergistic effect with Z-scheme transfer model on the significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance. In addition, the In 2 S 3 /BiOBr heterojunction presented excellent cycle stability, resulting from the tight heterointerface. This work provides a promising approach to design and fabricate high effect Z-scheme heterojunction in wastewater treatment.

High sulfur resistance and high stability of catalysts are crucial for the catalytic decomposition of sulfur-containing volatile organic compounds. In this work, compared to 5Ce-MCM-41, the 5Cr-MCM-41 catalyst exhibited ultra-stability (no activity loss at 600 h) and higher sulfur resistance. The physical structure and chemical characteristics of the catalysts were analyzed by XRD , H 2 -TPR, NH 3 -TPD, CO 2 -TPD, XPS , and TEM. Combining the characterization results, we found that the 5Cr-MCM-41 catalyst presented outstanding catalytic performance due to superior reducibility and appropriate acidity, which results in the conversion of most of the C and S elements in the CH 3 SH to the gas-phase coke- and sulfur-containing products rather than accumulating on the catalyst surface. Meanwhile, the catalytic performance, reaction path, and deactivation mechanism of rare earth metal (Ce) and transition metal (Cr) modified MCM-41 catalysts were systematically investigated by in situ DRIFTS and DFT calculations. Additionally, a new active phase (sulfide state Cr 2 S 3 ) was proposed and proved via accurately designed experiments, which plays a significant role in the collaborative removal of CH 3 SH with hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). These findings are beneficial for designing high sulfur resistance catalysts for the removal of CH 3 SH and other sulfur-containing products.

Using a simple and scalable solid-state synthesis process, a series of spinel-structured high-entropy oxides were systematically designed and synthesized in a Co–Mn–Fe–Cr–Ni–Zn–O system. These included (Co,Mn,Fe,Cr) 3 O 4 , (Co,Mn,Fe,Ni) 3 O 4 , (Co,Mn,Fe,Cr,Ni) 3 O 4 , (Co,Mn,Fe,Zn) 3 O 4 , (Co,Mn,Fe,Cr,Zn) 3 O 4 , (Co,Mn,Fe,Ni,Zn) 3 O 4 and (Co,Mn,Fe,Cr,Ni,Zn) 3 O 4 . The phase, microstructure and color evolution of 1/3Co 3 O 4 –1MnO-1/2Fe 2 O 3 -1/2Cr 2 O 3 –1NiO powders were studied without ZnO addition. These underwent four phase evolution processes and three color evolution processes before forming the final phase of black, octahedral (Co,Mn,Fe,Cr,Ni) 3 O 4 powders. The formation of an intermediate phase of (Co,Mn,Fe) 3 O 4 medium-entropy oxide powders served as the foundation for the creation of other high-entropy oxide powders. The infrared radiation properties of these synthesized medium and high-entropy oxides powders were evaluated in the near-infrared region at room temperature. Among these synthesized powders, the infrared emissivity values of (Co,Mn,Fe) 3 O 4 , (Co,Mn,Fe,Ni) 3 O 4 and (Co,Mn,Fe,Cr,Ni) 3 O 4 powders exceeded 0.8. All the synthesized powders exhibited excellent thermal stability after being annealed at high temperatures. Notably, after being annealed at high temperatures, the infrared emissivity values of these synthesized powders increased markedly without degradation, surpassing a value of 0.8, and displayed potential for applications in the field of high-temperature infrared energy savings.

CeO 2 as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst has attracted wide attention due to its abundant surface acidity and excellent oxygen storage/release capacity. However, its further implication was hindered owing to insufficient catalytic activity and SO 2 resistance. Novel Cr doped CeO x catalysts were synthesized by solid phase method and used for NH 3 -SCR of NO x at middle-low temperature. The effect of Cr addition on the SCR performance and physicochemical properties of CeO 2 catalyst was investigated by activity test and characterizations. Among the tested catalysts, Cr(0.4)-CeO x catalyst exhibited excellent NO x removal efficiency, with >90% NO conversion within 180–300 °C, 100% NO conversion at 220 °C and outstanding SO 2 resistance at 240 °C under 100 or 600 ppm SO 2 . The characterizations results revealed that Cr modified CrCeO x catalyst could effectively increase BET surface area, pore volume, surface acidity and redox capacity. In situ DRIFTS indicated that SCR reactions over Cr(0.4)-CeO x catalyst followed Eley-Rideal mechanism and active –NH 2 was the major intermediate species. After sulfuration, Cr(0.4)-CeO x still exhibited excellent SCR activity due to the increase of Cr 6+ , Ce 3+ and O α concentration and the formation of Cr–O–Ce bond, new Brønsted acid site and more crystallized Cr 2 O 3 .
