Considerable amounts of NOx are generated from the thermal utilization of solid wastes. To control NOx emission, we investigated the influence of mixed Fe/Ca additives on the generation of NOx precursors (HCN and NH3) during pyrolysis at 873, 1073, and 1273 K. Protein, proline, and phenylalanine were selected as model compounds to represent the primary nitrogen forms in typical solid wastes, such as biomass and sludge. According to the results, the iron effect is a remarkable property that enables the obvious reduction of NH3. This was most likely because NH3 was consumed by iron compounds to generate FeNx. Iron compounds facilitated thermal cracking of heterocyclic N with the release of HCN. Ca(OH)2 promoted the conversion of HCN to NH3 and fixed HCN to form CaCxNy simultaneously. These intermediates (FeNx and CaCxNy) play important roles in the reduction of NOx precursors. A lower emission of NOx precursors was observed with mixed Fe/Ca additives than with either Fe or Ca individually. This is because the generation of Ca2Fe2O5 enhanced the tranformation of intermediates to N2. The transformation of intermediates to N2 was enhanced at elevated temperatures, which allows for the lowest emission of precursors (NH3 and HCN) at 1273 K, with a higher ratio of Ca2Fe2O5 in char.

High-performance, cost-effective cathodes are essential for grid-scale sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) have shown great potential as SIB cathodes, but achieving both high capacity and long lifespan remains challenging. In this study, a series of low-cost ternary PBAs synthesized through structural regulation is presented to simultaneously achieve high capacity, stable cycling performance, and broad temperature adaptability. Among them, CuHCF-3 demonstrates a specific capacity of 132.4 mAh g −1 with 73.3% capacity retention over 1000 cycles. In-depth analyses, using in situ techniques and density functional theory calculations, reveal a highly reversible three-phase transition (monoclinic ↔ cubic ↔ tetragonal) in Na 1.96 Cu 0.45 Mn 0.55 [Fe(CN) 6 ] 0.91 ·□ 0.09 ·2.14H 2 O (CuHCF-3), which is driven by synergistic interactions between Mn and Cu. Mn enhances conductivity, increases the operating voltage, and introduces additional redox centers, while Cu mitigates the Jahn–Teller distortions associated with Mn and buffers volume changes during cycling. This structural synergy results in excellent temperature stability across a wide temperature range (−20 to 55 °C). 18650-type cylindrical cells based on CuHCF-3 with high loading density achieve 73.54% capacity retention over 850 cycles. This study offers valuable insights for designing durable, high-capacity electrode materials for SIB energy storage applications.

Unlike conventional Fe₃O₄-MnO₂ composites, an architecture-engineered Fe₃O₄-MnO₂ (FM-21) heterostructure was constructed by anchoring Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles onto α-MnO₂ nanorods. Under visible light irradiation, the FM-21/PDS system achieves 96.5 % Orange II degradation within 60 min with a kinetic rate constant of 0.0596 min −1 , significantly outperforming its individual components and dark condition controls. Multiple characterization techniques confirm that the unique interfacial configuration establishes a direct Z-scheme charge transfer pathway, substantially enhancing charge carrier separation efficiency. XPS analysis provides direct evidence that visible light accelerates the co-cycling of Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ and Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ redox pairs, thereby maintaining highly efficient PDS activation. Quenching experiments and EPR analysis further reveal that the synergistic effect between radical and non-radical pathways, which is dominated by singlet oxygen ( 1 O₂) and holes (h + ), drives the degradation process. This mechanism enables the degradation of various pollutants with minimal dependence on their charge characteristics, demonstrating the catalyst's broad applicability. The catalyst also exhibits practical advantages including magnetic separability and stable performance over five consecutive cycles. This study demonstrates that the synthesized FM-21 exhibits significant potential for visible light-enhanced PDS activation in eliminating recalcitrant organic pollutants.

Graphical Promoting : A series of Fe-modified CeO 2 catalysts with nanoparticle, nanorod, nanocube and nano-octahedron morphologies were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The Fe-modified CeO 2 nanorod catalysts exhibit a remarkably promoting effect on the formation of DMC from CO 2 and methanol. A series of Fe-modified CeO 2 catalysts with nanoparticle, nanorod, nanocube and nano-octahedron morphologies were synthesized and applied for direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO 2 and methanol. The Fe-modification shows a remarkably promoting effect on the formation of DMC over Fe-modified CeO 2 nanorod. The DMC yield was improved from 0.202 to 2.568 mmol DMC per g cat by 2 %Fe-modification of CeO 2 nanorod. A synergistic effect among the moderate acid-basic sites, specific surface area and surface composition resulted from Fe-modification was proposed to be crucial to obtaining the high reactivity of DMC formation.

Graphical In hot water : CeO 2 /A−Fe(OH) 3 composites synthesized by a secondary water bath at 100 °C exhibit superior photocatalytic activity. A−Fe(OH) 3 increases specific surface area, passivates the surface of CeO 2 , and reduces the activation energy of water oxidation. This work provides a new insight into exploring amorphous cocatalysts to enhance photocatalytic O 2 evolution activity and augment the possibility of overall water splitting based on CeO 2 . Noble-metal-free composites with good photocatalytic property are of great interest. Here, CeO 2 nanorods composites loaded with amorphous Fe(OH) 3 cocatalyst were designed and prepared via a secondary water bath at 100 °C. The as-synthesized CeO 2 /amorphous Fe(OH) 3 composites exhibited superior light photocatalytic activities compared to pure CeO 2 , especially the sample with a loading time of 60 min. The photocatalytic oxygen generation rate could reach to 357.2 μmol h −1 g −1 , and the average apparent quantum yield (AQY) was 24.67 %, which was a 5.5-fold increase compared to the CeO 2 sample. The improvement of photocatalytic performance could be ascribed to three main reasons: First, loading the amorphous Fe(OH) 3 enlarged the specific surface area and passivated the surface of the pristine CeO 2 . Second, the amorphous Fe(OH) 3 ,which acted as a cocatalyst, provided many active sites, and reduced the reaction activation energy. Thirdly, the maximum interface with intimate contact between CeO 2 and amorphous Fe(OH) 3 cocatalyst accelerated the photogenerated charge separation efficiency and thus improved the photocatalytic performance of CeO 2 in photocatalytic water oxidation.

Non-Pt catalysts with excellent performance regarding the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) have aroused enormous interest in recent years. Herein, we propose a dual-template method to synthesize a multiscale porous Fe–N–C (FeNC) catalyst. SiO2 and Zn are used as co-templates to produce a multiscale porous structure. Chitosan and glutaraldehyde are used as building blocks to fabricate the frameworks of the hydrogel. After lyophilization and annealing treatments, FeNC aerogel with a multiscale porous structure could be obtained. The as-prepared FeNC catalyst annealed at 900 °C (FeNC-900) exhibits a larger electrochemically active surface area and an improved ORR activity compared to FeNC annealed at other temperatures. FeNC-900 shows a superior ORR performance in comparison with that of commercial Pt/C in terms of the onset potential and half-wave potential, i.e., 0.959 and 0.837 V, which are 28 mV and 10 mV higher than those of Pt/C, respectively. Multiscale porosity is responsible for the outstanding ORR performance of FeNC-900. The electron transfer number of FeNC-900 for the ORR was calculated to be 3.95, which is comparable with that of Pt/C. In addition, the FeNC-900 catalyst possesses an excellent long-term duration and anti-poisoning capacity against methanol crossover. All these results endow the FeNC catalyst with tremendous potential for use in fuel cells.

Clay-based materials have attracted attention owing to their dual effects of adsorption and advanced oxidation degradation in removing organic pollutants. In this study, the introduction of humic acid (HA) in the Fe-bearing montmorillonite (Fe-Mt) nano platform enhanced its tetracycline (TC) adsorption and degradation were investigated. The result showed that the adsorption and degradation efficiency of humic acid/poly-hydroxyl-iron/montmorillonite (HA-Fe-Mt) was greater than those of Fe-Mt. The adsorption performance and characterization confirmed that HA-Fe-Mt had more functional groups, stronger hydrophobic character, and higher specific surface area. The introduction of HA onto the Fe-Mt platform enhanced its specific surface area, electrostatic interaction, and hydrophobic character, therefore providing more active sites to interact with the carbonyl and amide groups of TC. Moreover, the catalytic performance and characterization results revealed that HA-Fe-Mt had greater persulfate (PS) activation, the coupled HA would speed up the transmission of electrons between Fe (III) and PS in the Fe (III) / Fe (II) cycle when PS was captured by the HA-Fe-Mt system, and the in situ generated Fe accelerates the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to further degrade TC. Consequently, HA can not only promote the adsorption of TC but also promote the degradation of TC in the Fe-Mt nano platform. HA-Fe-Mt provided a feasible and promising platform with PS activation for TC adsorption and degradation.

Novel CoFe 2 O 4 /MIL-100(Fe) (CFO/MIL-100(Fe)) core/shell nanofibers were prepared by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) assembly of MIL-100(Fe) on electrospun CoFe 2 O 4 nanofibers. The MIL-100(Fe) shells were constructed on the dispersed CoFe 2 O 4 fiber surface with high uniformity, homogeneous thickness and high stability. Due to the inherent porosity of MIL-100(Fe), a higher specific surface area of 225.77 m 2 /g is achieved for the CFO/MIL-100(Fe)-10 sample. The formed CFO/MIL-100(Fe) catalysts exhibit high catalytic activity towards degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic activity remains above 77 % within 60 min illumination after four cycles. Due to the simple synthetic method, highly uniform structure, strong magnetic recoverable, as well as good photocatalytic performance, the obtained CFO/MIL-100(Fe) core/shell nanofibers could be promising photocatalysts for practical application.

Red-emitting carbon dots (C-dots) were synthesized from p-phenylenediamine (p-PD) aqueous solution with nitric acid (HNO3) assistance by hydrothermal reaction at 200 °C for 2 h. p-PD aqueous solution can be transferred to C-dots (or poly(p-PD)) with (or without) the addition of acid. Different acid systems, such as HNO3, H3PO4 and HF, can directly synthesize red-emitting C-dots, and the fluorescence can be enhanced by increasing the strength of acids. N-CDs, 3.46 nm-average-sized C-dots, prepared in dilute HNO3, have a quantum yield of 15.8% with unique, excitation-wavelength independent emission in the red region (600 and 680 nm) and a broad visible excitation band. Carboxyl, ester and hydroxyl groups on the C-dots surface directly lead to red emission. N-CDs have a certain selective specificity for Fe3+ detection and the linear range is 10–300 nmol L−1 with a limit of determination of 1.9 nmol L−1.

In general, the final product of atrazine (ATR) degradation by reactive oxygen species is cyanuric acid bearing a stable s -triazine ring, which is not further oxidized under mild conditions. In this study, we demonstrate that the presence of Ni(II) can increase the aerobic ATR degradation rate of core–shell Fe@Fe 2 O 3 nanowires (CSFN) by 6 times and also achieve the cleavage of recalcitrant s -triazine ring. The cleavage of s -triazine ring in this novel system was confirmed by the measurements of formic acid and nitrite acid. On the basis of experimental results, a feasible mechanism was proposed to account for the promoted aerobic ATR degradation and the facile s -triazine ring cleavage as follows. First, Ni(II) adsorbed on the surface of CSFN was reduced to nickel metal, which favored the generation of active hydrogen (•H). The in-situ generated •H then reduced ATR to 4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine intermediate of easy ring opening property, rather than the recalcitrant cyanuric acid. Finally, this ATR degradation pathway change promoted the aerobic ATR degradation and benefited the s -triazine ring cleavage. This study clarifies the importance of degradation pathway on the ring-opening of organic pollutants, and also provides a mild method to remove s -triazine herbicides with molecular oxygen and zero-valent iron.

Graphical A magneto-fluorescent bifunctional Fe(II) complex is synthesized through decoration of the pyrene fluorophore to Fe(II)-pybox moiety. Its magnetic and fluorescent properties are characterized via X-ray structural analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurement, 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, and fluorescent spectroscopy. As expected, the coexistence of spin-crossover and fluorescence is achieved. The construction of magneto-fluorescent bifunctional complexes is a feasible approach toward multifunctional molecular materials. Herein we report the synthesis and properties studies of a mononuclear Fe(II) complex [Fe L 2 ](ClO 4 ) ( 1 ), where L is a pyridine-2,6-bis(oxazoline) (pybox) ligand decorated by the pyrene fluorophore. Magnetic susceptibility measurement of desolvated complex 1-d shows an incomplete and gradual spin-crossover in the temperature range 50–300 K, which is further confirmed via 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy study. Light-induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) is also observed below 70 K when the powder sample is irradiated by a 532 nm laser. The change in absorption during the spin-crossover (SCO) process is investigated via the temperature-dependent UV-vis spectroscopy. As expected, through introducing the chromophore, 1 displays fluorescence in both solution and solid state, achieving the coexistence of spin-crossover and fluorescence in one compound.

In the realm of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS), the escalating cost of cobalt has spurred interest in Co-Fe bimetallic catalysts as substitutes for monometallic Co catalysts. Unfortunately, it is difficult to clarify specific functions and interactions of the two phases, as investigating catalysts in a unified dimension of both metal and support is still a challenge. Herein, we realize precise control over synthesizing nitrogen-doped carbon materials supported bimetallic catalysts containing CoFe alloy and Co + Fe 2 C dual active phases. The catalysts are comprehensively characterized to address the above problem by excluding the influence of metal sizes and support properties. Our findings reveal that compared to metallic Co alone and Co + Fe 2 C dual active phases, the Co-Fe interaction in CoFe alloy with electron transfer from Fe to Co optimizes reactant adsorption behaviors through achieving a larger number of strongly adsorbed CO per active site to increase the density of C* adsorbates and a higher surface CO/H 2 ratio to inhibit the hydrogenation of CH x * intermediates for chain termination, as well as an appropriate ability for CO adsorption/ dissociation. These advantages collectively enhance both CO activation and C-C coupling, and consequently, the CoFe/NC (CoFe alloy) catalyst exhibits the superior catalytic performance in the cobalt space–time yield in C 5+ products (3011.2 g C5+ kg Co −1 h −1 ), which surpasses the Co/NC (monometallic Co) and Co + Fe/NC (Co + Fe 2 C dual active phases) by 2.2 times and 2.4 times, respectively. This study serves as a promising route for the development of efficient and low-cost bimetallic catalysts through the strategic arrangement of multiple active phases for various reactions.
