Electro-Fenton (e-Fenton) reactions boosted using microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can degrade contaminants with high efficiency, the treatment is generally performed in the aqueous phase and the sludge pollution is ignored in such MFCs. In this study, a sediment MFC e-Fenton (SMFC-e-Fenton) system was proposed for the degradation of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in both aqueous and solid phases. A Fe@Mn-codoped biochar gas diffusion cathode was fabricated to produce hydroxyl radicals without any additional power input. The studied NSAIDs of ibuprofen (IBU), naproxen (NPX), and diclofenac (DCF) exhibited total degradation efficiencies (including aqueous and sludge phase) of 99.1%, 98.5%, and 80.6%, respectively, in the SMFC-e-Fenton system. Compared with sludge anaerobic digestion, the residual amounts of IBU, NPX, and DCF reduced from 10.2%, 24.6%, and 32.2% to 2.7%, 4.4%, and 8.5%, respectively, in the sludge phase. Moreover, the electricity generation and sludge reduction improved owing to the e-Fenton process. Using the SMFC-e-Fenton system, the effects of NSAIDs were reduced and the richness and diversity of the microbial community are maintained, improving the overall system performance. These results demonstrate that the SMFC-e-Fenton method is a high-efficiency, economic and environmental friendly technology for simultaneously treating NSAIDs in the aqueous and sludge phases.

Four new Zn(II)-, Cd(II)-, Mn(II)-, and Co(II) - based 1D to 2D coordination polymers (CPs) were synthesized from metal salts and 1,4-di(1-imidazol-1-yl)naphthalene (DIN) ligand via the coordination reaction under hydrothermal conditions with quantitative yields , namely, [Zn(SO 4 )(DIN)(H 2 O)] ( CP-1 ), [Cd(NO 3 ) 2 (DIN)] ( CP-2 ), [Mn(SO 4 )(DIN)(H 2 O) 3 ] ( CP-3 ), and [Co(NO 3 ) 2 (DIN) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ] ( CP-4 ). The CPs were analyzed and characterized using FT-IR, Elemental Analysis , TGA , SC-XRD, and PXRD . CP-1 was selected as a model sensor for fluorescence detection , and the sensor exhibited high quenching rates at two excitation wavelengths of λ ex = 230 and 290 nm, and at a single emission wavelength of λ em = 350 nm. At these two different excitation wavelengths, CP-1 behaved differently during the sensing of pesticides, and the highest quenching rate was achieved by the sensor for nitenpyram ( λ ex = 230 nm) and imidacloprid ( λ ex = 290 nm). Furthermore, during the sensing of vitamins, CP-1 encountered a strong quenching effect toward vitamin B2 . During the sensing processes, the inner filter effect (for nitenpyram , imidacloprid , and vitamin B2), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (for nitenpyram, imidacloprid, and vitamin B2), and photo-induced electron transfer (for vitamin B2) were the mechanisms responsible for fluorescence quenching .

Background Hexavalent chromium ions (Cr(VI)), a notorious toxic heavy metal pollutant with proven carcinogenicity, endangers human health and the environment. Meanwhile, l -ascorbic acid (L-AA), a vital biological antioxidant, has abnormal levels closely tied to various diseases. Developing efficient synchronous detection methods for these two key analytes is of great value in clinical and environmental monitoring. Traditional fluorescent nanomaterials, particularly those emitting in the blue/green region, suffer from limited tissue penetration depth and autofluorescence interference, hindering their application in deep-tissue imaging and real-time monitoring. Therefore, the development of red-emitting nanomaterials with enhanced optical properties and multifunctionality is crucial for advancing biosensing and bioimaging technologies. Results Herein, we present a facile hydrothermal synthesis of manganese-doped carbon dots (Mn-CDs) that exhibit red fluorescence ( λ ex / λ em = 520 nm/675 nm) and exceptional sensitivity for the simultaneous detection of Cr(VI) ions and L-AA. Mn-CDs were synthesized using o -phenylenediamine (OPD) and 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid (DSA) as precursors, along with manganese chloride tetrahydrate as a metal dopant source, achieving a high fluorescence quantum yield of 11 %. The Mn-CDs function as a dual-responsive "off-on-off" fluorescent sensor, demonstrating low detection limits of 0.44 μM for Cr(VI) and 1.11 μM for L-AA. Utilizing smartphone-integrated RGB analysis, the detection limits were further improved to 0.021 μM for Cr(VI) and 0.06 μM for L-AA. The Mn-CDs exhibit excellent biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, enabling successful application in HeLa cells imaging and real-time intracellular monitoring of Cr(VI) and L-AA. Significance This study introduces a novel Mn-CDs-based fluorescent-colorimetric dual-mode probe that overcomes the limitations of traditional blue/green-emitting CDs by offering enhanced tissue penetration, minimized background interference, and multifunctional integration for biosensing and bioimaging. The integration of Mn-CDs with a smartphone-based analytical platform enhances their portability and user-friendliness for on-site detection, providing a valuable tool for heavy metal pollution monitoring and clinical biomarker detection. This work not only broadens the application scope of metal-doped carbon dots in biosensing but also provides a new strategy for environmental monitoring and clinical diagnostics, demonstrating significant application prospects in advancing biomedical research and clinical practice.

This study explored how the Si/Al ratio in Nb-Mn/MCM-41 catalysts affect toluene degradation via plasma catalysis. Adjusting the Si/Al ratio altered catalyst acidity and redox properties, decreasing the Si/Al ratio led to increased acidity, higher Mn 3+ /Mn 4+ ratio and greater O ads /O lat ratio as indicated by NH 3 -TPD, XPS, and O 2 -TPD analysis. Lower Si/Al (Nb-Mn/M(25)) boosted toluene removal efficiency to 98.2% under dry conditions due to increased oxygen vacancies and acidity. Moderate humidity enhanced conversion, but higher humidity levels proved detrimental, especially for low Si/Al catalysts. At a humidity level of 3.11 vol%, the toluene removal efficiency of Nb-Mn/M(25) exhibited a reduction of 15.3%, while Nb-Mn/M(200) with higher Si/Al ratio decreased only by 3%. Hydrophobic, higher Si/Al catalysts showed better resistance to humidity's negative impact. These findings offered insights into designing efficient catalysts for VOC removal by optimized Si/Al ratio and managing humidity.

It is highly desirable to enhance the charge separation and introduce catalytic functions for efficient water splitting into hydrogen on g-C 3 N 4 . Herein, heterojunctions of PCN-222(M)/g-C 3 N 4 -AA were successfully synthesized through the in-situ hydrothermal method, where metallic ions (M) were strategically incorporated into porphyrinic metal-organic framework (MOF) ligands. This heterojunction design strategy is considered to establish directional charge transfer channels for photogenerated electron-hole (e − -h + ) pairs and thereby enhance its separation efficiency. Remarkably, the 1 % PCN-222(Pd)/g-C 3 N 4 -AA composite demonstrated superior photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance, achieving a rate of 2338.17 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 . This rate was 3.23 times higher than that of pure g-C 3 N 4 and 2.79 times higher than that of g-C 3 N 4 -AA. The composite morphology was characterized by a series of physicochemical properties. Bandgap analysis via Tauc plot revealed that metal ion doping in the porphyrin center effectively modulates the HOMO-LUMO levels at the composite interface. First-principles calculations coupled with hydrogen adsorption free energy analysis elucidated how interfacial engineering between PCN-222(M) and g-C 3 N 4 -AA governs heterostructure formation and charge transfer pathways. This work systematically deciphers the synergistic effects of bimetallic MOF integration and provides insights into the underlying photocatalytic reaction mechanism.

Biomass electrocatalytic-conversion coupled with hydrogen generation exhibits low energy consumption, efficient hydrogen production and green syntheses of value-added chemicals. However, constructing electrocatalysts with precise electronic modulation and structures for efficient biomass electrocatalytic conversion coupled hydrogen production remains challenging. Herein, a bacterial cellulose substrate was combined in situ with a Mn-doped NiFe Prussian blue analogue (PBA) precursor, and one-step carbonization-phosphorylation was developed for the preparation of Mn-doped nickel iron phosphate (MNFP) embedded in a P, N codoped carbon (PNC) substrate grown directly on P-doped carbonized bacterial cellulose (MNFP-PNC/PCBC). Benefiting from the three-dimensional network structure of P-doped carbonized bacterial cellulose (PCBC) and atomic doping, MNFP-PNC/PCBC exhibited an optimized electronic structure, abundant active sites and excellent electrical conductivity. Therefore, the voltages required with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and glucose electrocatalytic-conversion (GCR) to drive a current density of 50 mA cm −2 were 0.214, 1.5, and 1.34 V, respectively. Moreover, the required cell voltage of the novel electrolyser containing MNFP-PNC/PCBC as electrodes can be further reduced to 1.55 V at 50 mA cm −2 compared to overall water splitting, resulting in more than 8-time improvement in hydrogen production efficiency and production of value-added formate. This work provides a unique approach for electrocatalytic-conversion of biomass coupled with electrocatalytic hydrogen generation.

This study presents a novel modification strategy involving the replacement of Mn with Sc in the cathode of NaNi 1/3 Fe 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 (NFM). The results of this study confirmed that Sc doping introduced strong Sc–O bonds to enhance the bonding between transition metal ions and O 2− . Additionally, Sc doping reduced the proportion Mn 3+ in the material (from 50.23% to 47.46%), thereby inhibiting the material structural distortion due to the Jahn–Teller effect induced by Mn 3+ . These factors were the main contributors to the improved cycling performance of the modified material. Furthermore, the introduction of Sc decreased the band gap of the material (1.7416–1.6706 eV) and the Na + activation barrier energy (0.773–0.732 eV). These changes not noly facilitated the de-embedding of Na + in the material lattice but also significantly enhanced the material electronic conductivity, leading to an excellent rate performance of the modified material. These results indicate that the NFM-Sc0.01 sample maintained an ultra-high capacity retention of 86.45% after 200 cycles at 1 C. At 5 C, the discharge capacity of NFM-Sc0.01 significantly increased from 79.3 mAh g −1 in NFM to 93.4 mAh g −1 , demonstrating great potential for industrialized applications.

Ni(OH) 2 /NF demonstrates strong electrocatalytic performance in the oxidation of 1-methoxy-2-propanol (MOP) to 1-methoxy-2-propanone (MOA). However, its catalytic efficiency is restricted by two sluggish dehydrogenation stages: the oxidation of Ni 2 + –OH to generate the active Ni 3+ –O intermediate, and the abstraction of the α-hydrogen from the MOP molecule. To address these limitations, the present study introduces a strategy centered on tuning the electronic structure. By incorporating manganese (Mn) into the coordination structure of Ni(OH) 2 /NF nanosheets in a controlled manner, both reaction steps are effectively enhanced through synergistic effects. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and synchrotron-based X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analyses reveal that Mn incorporation modifies the local electronic environment of Ni through electronic interactions. This adjustment decreases the d -orbital electron density of Ni, thereby facilitating the oxidation of Ni 2+ to the catalytically active Ni 3+ species during MOP conversion. Electrochemical measurements combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that Mn incorporation markedly enhances the adsorption of MOP molecules on the catalyst surface, which thereby promotes more efficient reaction kinetics. This synergistic regulation effectively lowers the energy barrier associated with the dual dehydrogenation steps, resulting in markedly improved catalytic performance of Mn–Ni(OH) 2 /NF for MOP oxidation, with the product Faradaic efficiency reaching around 90 %.

Developing a novel extraction process for battery minerals-nickel laterites is a key aspect of building a resilient and low-carbon future, as the current process produces heavy metal residues, electrolytic wastewater, and toxic gases, while also facing issues of long process flow and low resource utilization. The primary bottlenecks in the process stem from the low separation coefficients and poor selectivity of commercial extractants. In this paper, a novel synergistic solvent extraction (SSX) system, dinonylnaphthalenesulfonic acid (DNNSA)-N,N-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)tetradecan-1-amine (NNPA), has been proposed to address the bottlenecks. Based on the DNNSA-NNPA SSX system, a novel hydrometallurgical process has been proposed for the stepwise extraction of valuable metals from nickel laterites. In the proposed process, Cu, Ni, Co, and Zn were directly extracted from the nickel laterite leachate, reducing their concentrations to below 1 mg/L. The enriched metals were subsequently separated as CuSO4, NiSO4, CoSO4, and ZnSO4 solutions, each with a purity exceeding 99.9%. Thereafter, Cr, Fe(III), and Al were sequentially removed from the raffinate through stepwise precipitation, achieving their preliminary separation. Mn was then selectively extracted from the resulting precipitate–mother liquor, yielding a high-purity MnSO4 solution (>99.9%). This integrated approach enables the comprehensive resource extraction of nickel laterites. Systematic mechanistic studies and pilot plant tests demonstrate that the novel extraction process significantly improves metal ion separation coefficients, avoids coprecipitation losses of Ni and Co, simplifies the process flow, avoids hazardous waste generation, reduces energy consumption, and improves resource utilization.

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) derived from biomass is a versatile platform chemical for producing various degradable polymers, especially polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate (PEF). To reduce the high cost of feedstock, fructose instead of expensive 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was used as the feedstock for producing FDCA in the acetic acid (HOAc) solvent by a one-pot, two-step method. Fructose was first catalytically converted into HMF and 5-acetoxymethylfurfural (AMF) in HOAc over the Amberlyst-15 catalyst. After the separation of only Amberlyst-15, the in situ-formed HMF and AMF were further catalytically oxidized to FDCA by air (oxygen) over homogeneous Co/Mn/Br catalysts following the free-radical chain reaction mechanism. HOAc was not only used as the solvent for the dehydration and following oxidation process but also served as the effective co-catalyst for the dehydration of fructose. The effects of catalyst species, dosage, and reaction temperature on the dehydration process and oxidation temperature on FDCA yield and purity were evaluated systematically. Under the optimized reaction conditions, a total yield of HMF and AMF of 50% and a final FDCA yield of 35% were achieved. Combined with experimental results and theoretical calculation, the reaction mechanism for fructose dehydration side reactions and the HMF and AMF oxidation reactions was proposed correspondingly. The proposed two-step, one-pot method using fructose as the starting material is a promising route for the commercial production of FDCA with the simple operation and viable yield.

The highly efficient catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are of great significance for electrochemical water splitting. Direct transforming nickel foam (NF) into nickel-based catalysts attracts extensive attention because of its excellent stability and high conductivity. However, the catalytic performances of this kind of catalyst are still far from expected. Herein, we report a series of Ni oxides co-modulated by Mo, V and M ( M =Mn, Fe, Co, Cu) as efficient catalysts for water splitting, which are directly prepared through a simple NF-transformation method. Especially, a MoVNi catalyst displays a low Tafel slope of 68 mV/dec and a small overpotential of 76 mV at 10 mA/cm 2 for HER in 1.0 M KOH solution. The OER performances of MoVNi can be greatly enhanced by M introduction. For example, Fe-MoVNi only requires 374 mV to achieve 100 mA/cm 2 and shows no declination in a-20 h stability test at 100 mA/cm 2 in 1.0 M KOH media. Such performances outperform the recently reported best-performing Ni oxides catalysts in an alkaline environment. The excellent catalytic performances suggest great promise in practical applications.

A comprehensive utilization process of Fe, Mn, Ni and Co in the acid leaching liquor of spent lithium ion batteries was put forward. Fe and part of Mn were extracted to synthesize Fe-doped lithium ion-sieve. Ni, Co and the rest of Mn were coprecipitated to prepare ternary lithium ion battery cathode material precursor Ni x Co y Mn 1-x-y (OH) 2 . After removing Cu 2+ ions in acid leaching liquor by adding MnS, two-stage counter current extraction and one-stage stripping were used to extract all Fe 3+ and 40.3% of Mn 2+ ions in sulfuric acid leaching solution to obtain a MnSO 4 stripping solution containing Fe 3+ ions. Iron-doped lithium ion-sieve was synthesized by oxidation of the resulting MnSO 4 solution with KMnO 4 followed by roasting and acid leaching. Fe incorporates into the lattice of lithium ion-sieve and improves the structure stability. Fe-doped lithium ion-sieve shows Li adsorption capacity of 35.29 mg.g −1 and Mn dissolution loss of 1.66%. The Li + adsorption in salt lake brine with the Fe-doped ion-sieve follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model . Ni x Co y Mn 1-x-y (OH) 2 is regular spherical particles with β-Ni(OH) 2 -like structure. This process provides a simple method for recovery and utilization of Mn, Fe, Ni and Co in spent lithium ion batteries .
