It was found that Co–Fe layered double hydroxides (Co–Fe LDHs), other than intercalated LDHs, could catalyze the luminol–H2O2 chemiluminescence (CL) reaction and generate a strong CL signal. The as-prepared Co–Fe LDHs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Based on the CL spectra, UV-visible absorption spectra and free radical scavenging assay, a possible CL mechanism was proposed. Under optimum conditions, a good linear relationship between the CL intensity and H2O2 concentration in the range of 1.0 × 10−8 to 3.0 × 10−6 mol L−1, with the limit of detection of 5.0 × 10−9 mol L−1, was obtained. Based on the glucose conversion into H2O2 by glucose oxidase, the sensitive detection of glucose could be realized with the limit of detection of 2.0 × 10−8 mol L−1. This proposed method has been applied to the determination of H2O2 and glucose in real samples with satisfactory results.

In this study, Pt@MOF(Fe)/NF, which was successfully employed as the cathode in the investigation of electrochemical activation of persulfate (PDS) for degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), was successfully prepared by loading Fe-MOF and Pt on NF substrate using hydrothermal method. The loading of Fe-MOF and Pt increases the active site as well as the charge transfer ability, endowing the materials with high catalytic activity. The results revealed a synergistic reinforcing effect in the electrochemical activation of PDS, and the strong oxidizing substances generated by the activation of PDS on the cathode surface facilitated the degradation of TCH. The main active substances are SO 4 − . and OH . , primarily ·OH. The optimal degradation conditions include a current density of 20 mA/cm 2 , an initial concentration of PDS of 5 mmol/L, and an initial pH of 7. The degradation rate of TCH in the activation of PDS based on Pt@MOF(Fe)/NF reached 77.2 % after 120 mins of degradation under the optimal conditions, 32.7 % higher than that of the NF cathode system. In the degradation process of TCH, its characteristic functional groups are attacked and destroyed by active substances such as SO 4 − . and OH . , producing intermediates with structures similar to TCH, followed by further mineralization.

Materials like metallic iron and its alloys are essential to daily living and industrial production. The benefits of using electrolysis technology to prepare iron and its alloys are great efficiency, controllability, and environmental protection. This study focuses on the feasibility of the electrochemical method for the direct preparation of metallic iron and Si–Fe alloys in iron ores with high fluoride content. The electrochemical behavior of Fe(II) and Fe(III) in molten SiO 2 –CaO–CaF 2 slag on tungsten electrodes was investigated by using cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry methods. It was determined that the reduction of Fe(II) ions follows a one-step two-electron transfer process: Fe(II) + 2e − → Fe(0). The reduction of Fe(III) involves a two-step electron transfer process: Fe(III) + e − → Fe(II) and Fe(II) + 2e − → Fe(0), respectively. The Fe(II)/Fe(0) process is an irreversible reaction controlled by diffusion. The diffusion coefficient of Fe(II) is D Fe(II) = 1.5 × 10 −6 cm 2 s −1 . The cathodic deposits of iron were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The findings indicate that the production of Fe 2 Si alloy through electrolysis is more favorable when Fe(II) is present in the slag, while the production of metallic iron is more favorable when Fe(III) is present in the slag. This work provides a basis for the electrochemical direct preparation of Fe–Si alloy and metallic iron in high fluorine iron ore.

The Fe(II)/peracetic acid (PAA) process shows significant potential for the removal of organic pollutants due to the rapid reaction between Fe(II) and PAA. However, the slow reduction from Fe(III) to Fe(II) leads to the continuous or excess dosing of Fe(II) during practical application. In this study, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a typical reagent extracted from green tea, was used to enhance the degradation of coumarin (COU) by Fe(II)/PAA for the first time. A complete elimination of COU (25 μM) was achieved in the presence of 50 μM Fe(II), 300 μM PAA, and 25 μM EGCG, exhibiting a k obs value of 0.108 min −1 , which was 27 times higher than that observed with Fe(II)/PAA (0.004 min −1 ). Further, Fe(II)/EGCG/PAA demonstrated remarkable pH tolerance, with a COU removal efficiency exceeding 80 % across a pH range of 3–9. Mechanisms investigations revealed that •OH played a dominant role in COU degradation by Fe(II)/EGCG/PAA (accounting for 98.2 %). The increase in EGCG concentration from 10 to 100 μM resulted in a decreased formation of •OH yield and an enhanced generation of RO•. These findings highlight the capability of EGCG to improve the oxidation capacity of Fe(II)/PAA and modulate reactive species formation. The outstanding oxidation capacity and environmental friendliness of Fe(II)/EGCG/PAA process render it a potential strategy to eliminate organic pollutants in actual water treatment.

Nitrite ions originate from various natural and anthropogenic sources and can cause health issues including methemoglobinemia and potential carcinogenic effects. As the nitrite in water has become an increasing threat to human health, the accurate evaluation of nitrite is urgently needed for environmental quality and safety management. In this paper, we designed a CTAB/SF5/GCE sensor, which exhibited an obvious enhancement compared to the pristine glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The morphology characterization confirmed the hexagonal nanosheets of SnS 2 and the even distribution of Fe element. The energy band, Tafel plots, and EIS spectroscopy were employed to investigate the enhancement mechanism, demonstrating that improving charge transfer on the sensing interface is crucial in enhanced signals. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was adopted as the electrochemical method to measure the nitrite in water and a sensitivity of 0.129 μA·μM −1 was exhibited in the range of 30–500 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) was calculated to be 6.51 μM. The reliability including the repeatability, reproducibility, and stability of this sensor were estimated and showed satisfactory results. The test in real samples and the assessment of interfering substances showed the CTAB/SF5/GCE possesses a large potential in the practical application of electrochemical sensing of nitrite.

Persulfate oxidation is a promising technology for air pollution control but still suffers from degrading refractory volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under mild conditions. Metal-doped metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a novel strategy to enhance persulfate activation and VOCs degradation. Herein, a novel bimetallic MIL-101 (Fe, Cu) is prepared for more effective degradation of gaseous benzene via persulfate activation. Under optimal conditions (Fe/Cu ratio of 1:4, persulfate concentration of 7 mM/L, pH of 5, and reaction temperature of 70 °C), the MIL-101(Fe1, Cu4) activated persulfate system achieves a benzene degradation efficiency of 79.1 %, a value significantly higher than that of MIL-101(Fe) (20.1 %). The enhanced performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺/Cu⁺ redox interactions facilitating the activation of persulfate and generation of radical species. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate an increase in the adsorption energy of MIL-101(Fe) in the presence of Cu doping from −3.46 eV to −5.92 eV along with a rise in the Fermi energy level from 0.5 eV to 1.33 eV, enhancing the electron density and mobility. A reaction energy diagram is provided to illustrate the reaction pathways and transition states involved in the degradation of benzene. Overall, the incorporation of Cu in MOFs significantly enhances the efficiency of persulfate-based oxidation systems toward VOCs degradation.

Palladized iron (Pd/Fe) represents one of the most common modification strategies for nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI). Most studies prepared Pd/Fe by reducing iron salts and depositing Pd species on the surface of pre-synthesized nZVI, which can be called the two-step method. In this study, we proposed a one-step method to obtain Pd/Fe by the concurrent formation of Fe 0 and Pd 0 and investigated the effects of these two methods on 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) removal, with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) coated as a surface modifier. Results indicated that the one-step method, not only streamlined the synthesis process, but also Pd/Fe-CMC one-step , synthesized by it, exhibited a higher 4-CP removal rate (97.9%) compared to the two-step method material Pd/Fe-CMC two-step (82.4%). Electrochemical analyses revealed that the enhanced activity of Pd/Fe-CMC one-step was attributed to its higher electron transfer efficiency and more available reactive species, active adsorbed hydrogen species (H ads *). Detection of intermediate products demonstrated that, under the influence of Pd/Fe-CMC one-step , the main route of 4-CP was through hydrodechlorination (HDC) to form phenol and H* was the main active specie, supported by EPR tests, quenching experiments and product analysis. Additionally, the effects of initial 4-CP concentration, initial pH, O 2 concentration, anions such as Cl − , SO 4 2− , HCO 3 − , and humic acid (HA) were also investigated. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that Pd/Fe-CMC one-step , synthesized through the one-step method, is a convenient and efficient nZVI-modifying material suitable for the HDC of chlorinated organic compounds.

Hydrogen production from alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) has promising potential in energy storage due to the advantages of low cost and large scale, but its bottleneck is the low current density and poor durability of non-precious metal electrodes. Although numerous electrode designs with superior activity have been reported, the complicated synthesis process and refined microstructure have not changed the high preparation cost, high resistance, and poor durability of conventional AWE electrodes. Here, we report an efficient synthesis strategy of high-density Ni-Fe-Ru electrode (particle size < 5 nm) and explore the synergistic effect between Ni-Fe-Ru elements at different potentials. The electrode exhibits excellent OER activity (264 mV@100 mA cm −2 , Tafel slope = 49 mV dec −1 ) and AWE performance (400 mA cm −2 @1.89 V), it can work stably for 300 h at 500 mA cm −2 , with potential for industrial applications.

As the substitutes of legacy long-chain per-/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), short-chain PFASs have been widely detected in the environment. Compared to long-chain PFASs, short-chain PFASs have smaller molecules and are more hydrophilic. Therefore, they are more likely to experience long-distance transport and pose lasting environmental impacts. In this study, Fe-doped (R-Fe) and Cu-doped biochars (R-Cu) were prepared using reed straw biochar (R). The results showed that the PFBA and PFPeA sorption capacities of R-Fe were 25.81 and 43.59 mg g −1 , 1.65 and 1.55 times higher than those of R, respectively. The PFBA and PFPeA sorption capacities of R-Cu were 19.34 and 33.69 mg g −1 , 1.24 and 1.20 times higher than those of R, respectively. In addition, R, R-Fe, and R-Cu exhibited higher PFBA and PFPeA sorption capacities than the biochars previously reported. The excellent PFAS sorption performances of the biochars were attributed to the highly porous structure of R, which provided rich adsorption sites. Ion-pair sorption, pore filling, electrostatic interaction between the Fe/Cu and cationic groups on biochar and the anionic groups of PFASs, and hydrophobic interaction between the hydrophobic surface of biochar and the fluorinated tails of PFASs were the underlying sorption mechanisms. The biochars presented high removal rates (>86 %) of multiple PFASs (∑PFAS: 350 μg L −1 ) from synthetic wastewaters, including legacy and emerging PFASs of different chain lengths and with different functional groups. The biochars reported in this study are promising candidate adsorbents for treating waters contaminated with short-chain PFASs.

β-lactam antibiotics, extensively used worldwide, pose significant risks to human health and ecological safety due to their accumulation in the environment. Recent studies have demonstrated the efficacy of transition metal-activated sulfite systems, like Fe(Ⅲ)/HSO 3 − , in removing PPCPs from water. However, research on their capability to degrade β-lactam antibiotics remains sparse. This paper evaluates the degradation of 14 types of β-lactam antibiotics in Fe(Ⅲ)/HSO 3 − system and establishes a QSAR model correlating molecular descriptors with degradation rates using the MLR method. Using cefazolin as a case study , this research predicts degradation pathways through NPA charge and Fukui function analysis, corroborated by UPLC-MS product analysis. The investigation further explores the influence of variables such as HSO 3 − dosage, substrate concentration , Fe(Ⅲ) dosage, initial pH and the presence of common seen water matrices including humic acid and bicarbonate on the degradation efficiency. Optimal conditions for cefazolin degradation in Fe(Ⅲ)/HSO 3 − system were determined to be 93.3 μM HSO 3 − , 8.12 μM Fe(Ⅲ) and an initial pH of 3.61, under which the interaction of Fe(Ⅲ) dosage with initial pH was found to significantly affect the degradation efficiency. This study not only provides a novel degradation approach for β-lactam antibiotics but also expands the theoretical application horizon of the Fe(Ⅲ)/HSO 3 − system.

Microwave-assisted hydrogenolysis of lignin is an emerging alternative to conventional depolymerization capable of converting lignin into aromatic compounds. Activated carbon (AC) supported Fe component have been shown to be cost-effective for this process, but its cycle stability needs to be improved due to Fe agglomeration. Herein, a strategy of nitrogen doping to promote stability was developed, which utilized melamine (C 3 H 6 N 6 ) as nitrogen source to prepare the catalyst of N-doped AC supported Fe (Fe/N-AC). The catalyst characterization indicated that the N-doped AC acted as anchor points for Fe components, avoiding catalyst deactivation from the source. Fe/N-AC presented an excellent cycle stability, remaining a phenolic compound selectivity of 93.3 % after five cycles and a decrease of only 4.79 % (compared to the first). The DFT calculation results revealed that Fe/N-AC tended to break C Ar -OCH 3 during the hydrogenolysis of guaiacol, with an energy barrier of 0.877 eV. This work proposes a simple and effective strategy to improve the stability of lignin hydrogenolysis catalysts, providing important references for the high-valued utilization of lignin.

A Fe, Co, N doping hierarchical carbon composite was prepared using stepwise pyrolysis. The prepared composite exhibited excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity with a half-wave potential (E 1/2 ) of 0.88 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE), which was higher than the commercial 20 wt% Pt/C (E 1/2 = 0.83 V). The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity of the prepared catalysts with the potential at 10 mA cm −2 (E j10 ) of 1.543 V was lower than that of the commercial RuO 2 (E j10 = 1.586 V). The corresponding turnover frequency (TOF) of FeCo@NC-3N-900 was 0.076 O 2 s −1 at E 1/2 (TOF of Pt/C was 0.057 O 2 s −1 at E 1/2 ) in ORR and 0.056 O 2 s −1 at E j10 (TOF of RuO 2 was 0.001 O 2 s −1 at E j10 ) in OER. As a result, the performance of the Zn-air battery assembled with FeCo@NC-3N-900 was better than that of the commercial Pt/C + RuO 2 . At the same time, Co was found that can elevate the ORR activity of the prepared composites by improving the mass diffusion, and FeCo alloy elevate the OER activity by improving the electron transfer. This work provided an efficient method for the preparation of ORR/OER bifunctional catalyst.
