Regulating interfacial active sites to improve peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation efficiency is a hot topic in the heterogeneous catalysis field. In this study, we develop an inverted loading strategy to engineer asymmetric Mn–O V –Ce sites for PMS activation. Mn 3 O 4 @CeO 2 prepared by loading CeO 2 nanoparticles onto Mn 3 O 4 nanorods exhibits the highest catalytic activity and stability, which is due to the formation of more oxygen vacancies (O V ) at the Mn–O V –Ce sites, and the surface CeO 2 layer effectively inhibits corrosion by preventing the loss of manganese ion active species into the solution. In situ characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) studies have revealed effective bimetallic redox cycles at asymmetric Mn–O V –Ce active sites, which promote surface charge transfer, enhance the adsorption reaction activity of active species toward pollutants, and favor PMS activation to generate (•OH, SO 4 •− , O 2 •− and 1 O 2 ) active species. This study provides a brand-new perspective for engineering the interfacial behavior of PMS activation.

Medium/high-entropy alloys (MEAs-HEAs) and rhenium-based compounds with a non-centrosymmetric (NC) structure have received a lot of attention for offering a fertile soil in search for unconventional superconductivity. Here, five previously unreported NC Re-based MEA-HEA superconductors with an α-Mn lattice are successfully synthesized, with their superconducting transition temperatures (Tcs) ranging from 4 to 5 K. An increase in the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) can be achieved by modulating the valence electron count (VEC) through compositional adjustments. Magnetization measurements confirm that all the synthesized Re-based MEA-HEAs are bulk type-II superconductors. Specific heat analysis reveals that the superconducting state of these HEAs can be well described by a single-gap s-wave model. Our results show that the Kadowaki-Woods ratio (KWR) of these α-Mn MEA/HEA superconductors are close to the typical value of heavy fermion compounds, suggesting the existence of strong electronic correlation. These findings provide promising material platforms to study the role of high disorder in the origin of superconductivity in the NC MEAs-HEAs.

Rational design of efficient and low-cost oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is a key challenge in the development of various clean energy technologies. Here, flower-shaped FeCo-MOF-74/Mn-MOF-74 (FeCo/Mn mass ratio x:y, denoted as FCMx-y) electrocatalysts were synthesized through a two-step simple solvothermal methods and applied to the OER. These synthesized OER catalysts exhibited effective synergistic effects, high conductivity, electrochemical active surface area, carrier density, enhancing the intrinsic activity of MOF-74. Among them, the optimized FeCo-MOF-74/Mn-MOF-74 (named FCM1-2) required only a low overpotential of 280/382 mV to achieve 10/300 mA cm −2 in 1 mol/L KOH, outperforming control samples and commercial IrO 2 . Furthermore, the catalyst demonstrated high electrocatalytic activity, rapid catalytic kinetics, and excellent stability. This research provides a reference for the industrial design of advanced OER electrocatalysts with high current density for sustainable energy technologies.

Background Melanoma is an aggressive skin tumor with limited therapeutic options due to rapid proliferation, early metastasis, and poor prognosis. Baicalin (BA), a natural flavonoid, shows promise in inducing ferroptosis and apoptosis but faces challenges of poor solubility and bioavailability. To address these issues, we developed a multifunctional drug delivery system: manganese-doped ZIF-8 nanoparticles (ZIF(Mn)) loaded with BA and modified with folic acid (FA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG). FA targets melanoma cells by exploiting folate receptor overexpression, while PEG enhances biocompatibility and systemic circulation. Manganese enables magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for real-time, non-invasive therapy monitoring.Methods BA-loaded ZIF(Mn)/FA-PEG nanoparticles were synthesized via a one-pot method, enabling drug encapsulation, Mn²+ incorporation, and surface modification. The nanoparticles were comprehensively characterized (particle size, Zeta potential, FTIR, and XRD). Cytotoxicity and cellular uptake were evaluated in B16-F10 melanoma cells, and in vivo experiments in C57BL/6J mice investigated MR imaging capability, antitumor efficacy, and biosafety.Results BA@ZIF(Mn)/FA-PEG nanoparticles demonstrated excellent stability, a BA loading capacity of 33.50 ± 0.04%, and pH-responsive release, with accelerated drug release under acidic tumor conditions. Mn²+ provided strong T1-weighted MR imaging contrast. Cellular and animal studies showed enhanced uptake, reduced premature drug release, and improved compatibility. Mechanistically, the nanoparticles induced significant ferroptosis and apoptosis in melanoma cells, leading to potent antitumor effects.Conclusion The BA@ZIF(Mn)/FA-PEG nanoplatform effectively integrates targeted delivery, imaging guidance, and dual ferroptosis-apoptosis induction, offering a promising strategy for improving melanoma treatment outcomes.

Fingerprints are unique characteristics of an individual, and their imaging and recognition is a top-priority task in forensic science. Fast LFP (latent fingerprint) acquirement can greatly help policemen in screening the potential criminal scenes and capturing fingerprint clues. Of the two major latent fingerprints (LFP), eccrine is expected to be more representative than sebaceous in LFP identification. Here we explored the heavy metal-free Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots (QDs) as a new imaging moiety for eccrine LFPs. To study the effects of different ligands on the LFP image quality, we prepared Mn-doped ZnS QDs with various surface-capping ligands using QDs synthesized in high-temperature organic media as starting material. The orange fluorescence emission from Mn-doped ZnS QDs clearly revealed the optical images of eccrine LFPs. Interestingly, N-acetyl-cysteine-capped Mn-doped ZnS QDs could stain the eccrine LFPs in as fast as 5 s. Meanwhile, the levels 2 and 3 substructures of the fingerprints could also be simultaneously and clearly identified. While in the absence of QDs or without rubbing and stamping the finger onto foil, no fluorescent fingerprint images could be visualized. Besides fresh fingerprint, aged (5, 10, and 50 days), incomplete eccrine LFPs could also be successfully stained with N-acetyl-cysteine-capped Mn-doped ZnS QDs, demonstrating the analytical potential of this method in real world applications. The method was also robust for imaging of eccrine LFPs on a series of nonporous surfaces, such as aluminum foil, compact discs, glass, and black plastic bags.

TS-1 zeolite with desirable pore structure, an abundance of acidic sites, and good thermal stability promising as a support for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3(NH3-SCR). Herein, a series of Mn–Fe/TS-1 catalysts have been synthesized, adopting tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) as a metal complexing agent using the one-pot hydrothermal method. The introduced TEPA can not only increase the loading of active components but also prompts the formation of a hierarchical structure through decreasing the size of TS-1 nanocrystals to produce intercrystalline mesopores during the hydrothermal crystallization process. The optimized Mn–Fe/TS-1(R-2) catalyst shows remarkable NH3-SCR performance. Moreover, it exhibits excellent resistance to H2O and SO2at low temperatures. The characterization results indicate that Mn–Fe/TS-1(R-2) possesses abundant surface Mn4+and Fe2+and chemisorbed oxygen, strong reducibility, and a high Brønsted acid amount. For comparison, Mn–Fe/TiO2displays a narrower active temperature window due to its poor thermostability.Keywords:Mn-Fe/TS-1;one-pot synthesis;NH3-SCR;metal complexing;resistance to H2O and SO2

Mn-based oxides exhibit outstanding low-temperature activity for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR) compared with other catalysts. However, the underlying principle responsible for the excellent low-temperature activity is not yet clear. Here, the atomic-level mechanism and activity-limiting factor in the NH3-SCR process over Mn-, Fe-, and Ce-based oxide catalysts are elucidated by a combination of first-principles calculations and experimental measurements. We found that the superior oxidative dehydrogenation performance toward NH3 of Mn-based catalysts reduces the energy barriers for the activation of NH3 and the formation of the key intermediate NH2NO, which is the rate-determining step in NH3-SCR over these oxide catalysts. The findings of this study advance the understanding of the working principle of Mn-based SCR catalysts and provide a fundamental basis for the development of future generation SCR catalysts with excellent low-temperature activity.

Permanganate [Mn(VII)] needs to be activated to improve its reactivity towards refractory organic contaminants in practice. Herein, visible light (VL) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) were introduced to enhance the activation of Mn(VII) for the first time. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) can be degraded effectively by VL/Mn(VII)/g-C 3 N 4 system in neutral and alkaline environments. Different from conventional Mn(VII) activation and photocatalytic processes, the performance of VL/Mn(VII)/g-C 3 N 4 system in various real water samples was superior than Milli-Q water. Mn(V) was found to be the dominant active species responsible for SMX degradation. Photo-induced electron (e cb – ) of g-C 3 N 4 under VL irradiation was proved to be the initiator of Mn(VII) activation. Density functional theory calculations revealed the strong affinity of g-C 3 N 4 for Mn(VII), which can resist the interference of water substrates on the Mn(VII) activation process by photo-induced e cb – . This work deepens the understanding of reactive manganese intermediates in the Mn(VII) activation system.

Designing semiconductor photocatalysts with unique structures can improve the transfer efficiency of solar energy to hydrogen (H 2 ). In this study, a dual modification method of element doping and morphological control was used. The Mn-doped hollow octahedron ZnIn 2 S 4 (ZHO-Mn) was synthesized by a simple one-pot solvothermal method using the octahedral Mn-based metal–organic framework (Mn-MOF) as a template. Experiments and theoretical calculations show that the ZHO-Mn has additional active sites, strong light absorption ability and good photoelectric performance. The H 2 production performance of optimized ZHO-Mn10 was the best (11.9 mmol h −1 g −1 ), which was 7.4 times that of monomer ZnIn 2 S 4 (1.6 mmol h −1 g −1 ). This study provides a new one-step method for the dual control of doping and morphology of ZnIn 2 S 4 photocatalyst

The development of metal oxide flame retardants that are easy to synthesize, efficient, and recyclable would be more beneficial to circular economy. In this work, a porous core-shell Mn 3 CoO x was developed to efficiently reduce heat, smoke as well as hazardous gas during the combustion of epoxy resin (EP). Compared with pure EP, the peak heat release rate (pHRR), total heat release (THR), peak smoke production rate (pSPR), total smoke production (TSP), peak CO production rate (pCOPR), and peak CO 2 production rate (pCO 2 PR) of EP/Mn 3 CoO x are reduced by 47.5 %, 21.5 %, 34.6 %, 17.6 %, 58.6 %, and 55.4 %, respectively. It has been shown that Mn 3 CoO x not only catalyzes the formation of high-quality char layer but also effectively catalyzes the conversion of hazardous gas products into CO 2 . Recovery experiments of Mn 3 CoO x filler in EP composites show that the recovery of Mn 3 CoO x can reach 90.0 %. This work provides insights into the design of efficient metal oxide flame retardants and ideas for the development of recycled flame retardants.

The Fenton oxidation system is a widely employed advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in wastewater treatment. However, the traditional Fenton oxidation system suffers from low oxidant utilization efficiency, leading to significant resource wastage. This study presents a novel self-Fenton Cu-Mn bimetallic catalyst (with a Cu:Mn ratio of 10:1), which is capable of simultaneously activating O 2 to generate H 2 O 2 in situ and further catalyzing the decomposition of H 2 O 2 to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Notably, this self-Fenton system demonstrate high removal efficiency for ciprofloxacin (CIP) across a broad pH range (2−9), achieving up to 92.55 % removal in water. Quenching experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis, steady-state concentration measurements, and Galvanic oxidation reactor (GOR) experiments collectively confirmed the generation of multiple ROS species (·OH, ·O 2 − , and 1 O 2 ) and indicated that electron transfer plays a significant role in pollutant degradation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed that Cu 0 exhibited high catalytic activity, enabling simultaneous generation and activation of H 2 O 2 . Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and toxicity assessments demonstrated a significant reduction in the toxicity of CIP degradation products. This work elucidates a novel Cu-Mn synergistic mechanism wherein Mn facilitates the generation of H 2 O 2 , while Cu effectively activates it into ROS. This synergism effect enables the removal of pollutants through both radical and non-radical pathways, thereby offering an innovative strategy for environmental remediation and AOPs.

In the current study, catalytic oxidation technology is among the most widely used methods for removing chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs). This article details the preparation of the Ag-Mn@ZSM-5 catalyst, which was prepared via the hydrothermal approach, followed by the incorporation of nano-Ag. The focus of the study is the catalytic oxidation of chlorobenzene (CB). Experimental results indicate that the hydrothermally synthesized nano-silver modified Ag-Mn@ZSM-5 catalyst, exhibiting a T90 of 290 °C, demonstrates superior performance compared to the Ag-Mn/ZSM-5 catalyst prepared via the traditional impregnation method, which has a T90 of 365 °C. As the operating airspeed increased from 7000 h −1 to 42000 h −1 , the removal efficiency of CB consistently remained above 90%, with stability maintained over a duration of 30 h. Furthermore, the catalyst exhibited excellent water resistance during a 12 h switching water test. Based on the characterization results, after loading Ag, the ratio of Mn 4+ and Mn 3+ on the surface of the Ag-Mn@ZSM-5 catalyst increases, the reducibility is enhanced, and the surface adsorbed oxygen species is increased, which is conducive to improving the catalytic activity. In addition, the Ag-Mn@ZSM-5 catalyst possesses an optimal pore structure, the proportion of mesoporous is 79.06%, suitable redox capacity, abundant acidic sites, and features a compact crystal stacking structure, which results in remarkable stability, catalytic activity, and space velocity resistance of the catalyst. These advantageous properties facilitate the adsorption and deep oxidation of CB. This study presents promising prospects for industrial applications and aims to offer innovative strategies for the treatment of chlorine-containing waste gases.
