We designed an amplified detection strategy for the sensitive determination of lead ions (Pb 2+ ) based on a target-triggered nuclear acid cleavage of Pb 2+ -specific DNAzyme as a selectivity interface combined with Pd-Pt alloys modified Fe-MOFs (Fe-MOFs/PdPt NPs) hybrids acting as the signal tag. Streptavidin modified reduced graphene oxide-tetraethylene pentamine-gold nanoparticles (rGO-TEPA-Au) served as a sensor platform for immobilizing more DNAzyme. In the presence of Pb 2+ , the substrate DNA strand can be specifically cleaved at the ribonucleotide site by DNAzyme to produce a new single-DNA on the interface. Then, the hairpin DNA with hybrid strand matched by its complement to the single-DNA was employed to modify the Fe-MOFs/PdPt NPs bioconjugates for signal amplification . Fe-MOFs/PdPt NPs catalyze hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) to produce the electrochemical signal which was recorded by chronoamperometry . Benefiting from the Pb 2+ -dependent DNAzyme, the proposed method can selectively detect Pb 2+ in the presence of other metal ions . The newly designed biosensor exhibited a good linear relationship ranging from 0.005 to 1000 nmol L −1 with a low detection limit of 2 pM (S/N = 3) for Pb 2+ . This Pb 2+ -dependent DNAzyme based ultrasensitive biosensor showed high sensitivity and selectivity, providing potential application for Pb 2+ detection in naturally contaminated sewage and spiked drinking water samples.

Fe(II)EDTA can remove NO efficiently, but it has not been industrially applied. This is because the oxygen present in the flue gas will oxidize Fe(II)EDTA and Fe(II)EDTA-NO to Fe(III)EDTA and deactivate them. In order to solve this problem, this paper innovatively proposes to use NaHS to reduce Fe(III) EDTA, because NaHS has high reducing ability and low price. Therefore, a series of experimental conditions were explored in order to obtain the best reaction setup. The results indicate that increasing the concentrations of NaHS, temperature, and pH enhances the rate of NaHS reduction. The mechanism of the increase in reduction rate was studied in depth using potentiometric titration. It was found that an increase in OH - concentration will generate S 8 precipitate, which is beneficial to the forward progress of the reaction and promotes the large-scale production of the active component Fe 2+ . Oxygen is an inevitable factor in actual flue gas, so this study innovatively proposed a kinetic model under aerobic conditions and used this model to predict the trend of Fe(III)EDTA reduction by NaHS. On this basis, NO removal experiments were conducted under high oxygen conditions. After 15 cycles, the reduction performance of NaHS was still very high, and the NO removal rate was higher than 70%. The reason for this phenomenon is that the stabilizer exists in a form that is conducive to the removal of NO by the active component Fe 2+ . Therefore, this study provides theoretical guidance for promoting the industrial application of Fe(II) EDTA technology for NO removal.

It is of great significance to establish an effective method for removing Cr(VI) from wastewater. Herein, Fe-doped g-C 3 N 4 (namely Fe-g–C 3 N 4 –2) was synthesized and then employed as photocatalyst to conduct the test of Cr(VI) reduction. Notably, the embedding of Fe ion in g-C 3 N 4 can offer the Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ redox couples, so reducing the interfacial resistance of charge transfer and suppressing the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. The impurity energy levels will form in g-C 3 N 4 after the introduction of Fe ion , thereby boosting the light absorption capacity of catalyst. Thus, Fe-g–C 3 N 4 –2 showed good performance in photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction, and the reduction efficiency of Cr(VI) can reach 39.9% within 40 min. Different with many previous studies, current work unexpectedly found that the addition of p -benzoquinone (BQ) can promote the Cr(VI) reduction, and the reduction efficiency of Cr(VI) over Fe-g–C 3 N 4 –2 was as high as 93.2% in the presence of BQ (1.5 mM). Further analyses showed that BQ can be reduced to hydroquinone (HQ) by photogenerated electrons, and UV light can also directly induce BQ to generate HQ by using H 2 O as the hydrogen donor . The HQ with reducing ability can accelerate the Cr(VI) reduction. In short, current work shared some novel insights into photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction in the presence of BQ. Future research should consider possible reactions between photogenerated electrons and BQ. For the UV-induced photocatalysis , the suitability of BQ as the scavenger of O 2 •‒ must be given carefully consideration.

This study investigated the mediating effect of Triethanolamine on Fe@C- Rhodobacter sphaeroides hybrid photosynthetic system to achieve efficient biohydrogen production. The biocompatible Fe@C generates excited electrons upon exposure to light, releasing ferrum for nitrogenase synthesis, and regulating the pH of the fermentation environment. Triethanolamine was introduced to optimize the electron transfer chain, thereby improving system stability, prolonging electron lifespan, and facilitating ferrum corrosion. This, in turn, stimulated the lactic acid synthetic metabolic pathway of Rhodobacter sphaeroides , resulting in increased reducing power in the biohybrid system. The ternary coupling system was analyzed through the regulation of concentration, initial pH, and light intensity. The system achieved the highest total H 2 production of 5410.9 mL/L, 1.29 times higher than the control (2360.5 mL/L). This research provides a valuable strategy for constructing ferrum-carbon-based composite-cellular biohybrid systems for photo-fermentation H 2 production.

Metal organic frameworks are attracting scientific interest in adsorption applications owing to their large surface area and controllable pore size or shape over both microporous and mesoporous domains. Based on this, an iron(III) trimesic acid MIL-100(Fe) was facilely synthesized by hydrothermal treatment and used as adsorbent to remove neutral red (NR) from aqueous solution. MIL-100(Fe) was characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transform infrared spectroscopy. MIL-100(Fe) was studied in view of the adsorption isotherms, thermodynamics, kinetics, and regeneration of the adsorbent. The adsorption kinetics data of NR were found to be in agreement with pseudo-second-order model. Temkin model was observed to be more suitable than Freundlich and Langmuir models in describing the adsorption isotherm. The maximum adsorption quantity was 333 mg g –1 at 313 K from Langmuir model. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that the NR adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. The NR-loaded MIL-100(Fe) adsorbent was regenerated and reused using pH = 2, 75% ethanol. A single-stage batch design for NR adsorption onto MIL-100(Fe) was also presented based on Temkin isotherm model equation. Based on the findings, MIL-100(Fe) is a promising adsorbent for the removal of cationic dyes from solution and thus can be used in practical application.

Solvent vapor-driven soft actuators have been seen as promising devices for human-environment interaction and gained considerable attention in recent years. Considering the limited types of response solvent and the lack of quantification, MOF/polymer intelligent soft actuators may be a potential candidate of the fabrication of the bio solvent-driven actuators. Thus, this paper present a multiple solvent-driven soft actuator based on MIL-88B/PVDF asymmetric film, and also the comparison to the analogs based on other MIL-88(Fe) series flexible MOFs (including MIL-88A, 88C and 88D) was made for the deformation-structure relationship and the solvent-driven mechanism investigation. The deformation behavior to various organic solvent (including methanol, toluene and chloroform) of the MIL-88(Fe)/PVDF composite films have been investigated, and the structure and composition of the MIL88(Fe) fillers and the composite films were also characterized by SEM, FT-IR, and XRD. Based on the above results, the MIL-88B/PVDF composite which shows the diversity of response objects and the fast deformation response to most of the organic solvents through the solvent swelling/adsorption of the MOF skeleton, was used to fabricate a monolayer soft film composed by MIL-88B, carbon black (CB) and PVDF, namely MIL-88B/CB/PVDF. The MIL-88B/CB/PVDF film not only realizes the excellent deformation-discolor dual-responsive to methanol atmosphere with the visible deformation which could being quickly achieved within 1s under 10 vol % methanol atmosphere and the maximum crimp angle being up to 558o within about 50 s, and also a wide color change range including six view angle-dependent high saturation color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple), but also shows an approximate linear relationship to three of the organic solvents (methanol, toluene and chloroform) between the maximum curl angle and the solvent concentration. Furthermore, several smart devices have also been fabricated, including the methanol-driven bionic petals, worm robot, alertor and LIG sensor. Therefore, such soft composites of flexible MOF and polymer have great potential in bio-robot and this work may provide new design strategy for the MOFs/polymer smart materials.

Hard tissue implant materials which can cause a suitable alkaline microenvironment are thought to be beneficial for stimulating osteoblast differentiation while suppressing osteoclast generation. To make the local pH around the interface between materials and cells controllable, we prepared a series of Mg–Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH) films on acid-etched pure titanium surfaces via hydrothermal treatment. By adjusting the Mg/Fe proportion ratio, the interlayer spacing of Mg–Fe LDHs was regulated, making their OH− exchange abilities adjustable, and this ultimately resulted in a microenvironment with a controllable pH value. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the Mg–Fe LDH film-modified titanium surface possessed good biocompatibility and osteogenic activity, especially the Mg–Fe LDH film with Mg/Fe proportion ratio of 4, which could form a suitable alkaline microenvironment for the growth and osteogenetic differentiation of stem cells. These results demonstrate the potential application of the prepared Mg–Fe LDH films in enhancing the osteogenesis of implant materials while providing a new way into the design of controllable alkaline environment.

A novel heterogeneous Fenton-like system (Mg/Fe-O 2 ) which could directly convert oxygen (O 2 ) to hydrogen peroxide/hydroxyl radicals (H 2 O 2 / • OH) was developed and used to degrade 4-chlorophenol. The Mg/Fe bimetallic particles were prepared by chemical displacement process and characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM. The in situ continuous production of H 2 O 2 / • OH and the effect of the mole ratio of Mg to Fe in the Mg/Fe bimetallic particles and the operating parameters on the degradation 4-chlorophenol in Mg/Fe-O 2 system were investigated in detail. It was found that the Mg/Fe bimetallic particles with the mole ratio of Mg to Fe of 32:1 had the best performance for the 4-chlorophenol degradation and the maximum cumulative concentration of H 2 O 2 , the degradation efficiency of 4-chlorophenol and the removal efficiency of TOC in Mg/Fe-O 2 system were 34.5 mg/L, 100% and 91.8%, respectively, at pH 3, O 2 flow rate 400 mL/min, dosage of Mg/Fe bimetallic particles 2 g/L, 4-chlorophenol initial concentration 50 mg/L and reaction time 60 min. It was revealed by radical scavenging experiments that • OH, particularly the surface-bound • OH, were the predominant reactive oxygen species in Mg/Fe-O 2 system for the degradation of 4-chlorophenol. The main intermediates of 4-chlorophenol degradation were detected by high-resolution liquid chromatography equipped with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HRLC–ToF-MS) and ion chromatography (IC). Based the results of control experiments and the electrochemical tests, the possible pathway and mechanism of 4-chlorophenol degradation in Mg/Fe-O 2 system were tentatively proposed.

The diatomic catalysts (DACs) provide a new strategy for efficient catalysis of CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) owing to their maximum atomic utility and more flexible active sites. However, it is still challenging to precisely design heteronuclear diatomic active centers and understand the coordination mechanism of binary sites at the atomic level. Herein, a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix with precisely controlled Fe–Cu diatom sites is synthesized through a metal–organic framework. The as-obtained Fe/Cu–N–C catalyst exhibits an excellent CO faradaic efficiency (>95% over a wide potential range of −0.4 to −1.1 V vs. RHE, 99.2% at −0.8 V vs. RHE), a high turnover frequency (5047 h−1 at −1.1 V vs. RHE), and a low overpotential (50 mV), thus outperforming most reported atomically dispersed catalysts. Further density functional theory calculations indicate that the synergy between Fe–Cu diatoms causes rapid charge transfer and effectively adjusts the position of the d-band center, which reduces the energy barriers for *COOH formation and *CO desorption. This work provides a new approach for advancing universal synthesis strategies to construct heteronuclear diatomic catalysts and explore synergistic effects.

Zinc (Zn)-based metals and alloys are emerging as promising biodegradable implant materials due to their inherent biodegradability and good biocompatibility. However, this class of materials exhibits low mechanical strength and a slow degradation rate, which hinders their clinical application. Here we report the development of a new biodegradable Fe/Zn–3Cu composite fabricated by infiltration casting of a Zn–3Cu alloy into an Fe foam followed by hot-rolling. Our results indicate that the hot-rolled (HR) Fe/Zn–3Cu composite exhibited an α-Zn matrix phase, a secondary CuZn 5 phase, and an α-Fe phase. The HR Fe/Zn–3Cu composite exhibited an ultimate tensile strength of 269 MPa, a tensile yield strength of 210 MPa, and an elongation of 27%. The HR Fe/Zn–3Cu composite showed a degradation rate of 228 µm/year after immersion in Hanks’ solution for 30 d The diluted extract of the HR Fe/Zn–3Cu composite exhibited a higher cell viability than that of the HR Zn–3Cu alloy in relation to MC3T3-E1 and MG-63 cells. Furthermore, the HR Fe/Zn–3Cu composite showed significantly better antibacterial ability than that of the HR Zn–3Cu alloy in relation to S. aureus . Overall, the HR Fe/Zn–3Cu composite can be anticipated to be a promising biodegradable implant material for bone-fixation applications. Statement of significance This work reports a new biodegradable Fe/Zn–3Cu composite fabricated by infiltration casting and followed by hot-rolling for biodegradable bone-fixation application.

Designing one-dimensional (1D) magnetic-carbon composites microwave absorbers is a promising strategy that can meet the current demand for high-performance microwave absorption (MA) materials. In this work, hierarchical structured Fe 3 O 4 /Fe@C@MoS 2 nanofibers were successfully obtained via a simple three-step method. 1D Fe 3 O 4 /Fe@C nanofibers were fabricated through electrospinning technology and in-situ polymerization followed by carbonization and reduction in H 2 /N 2 atmosphere. MoS 2 nanosheets grew irregularly on the surface of 1D Fe 3 O 4 /Fe@C nanofibers to form the flower-like structure. The morphology, composition and magnetism of samples were systematically investigated. Furthermore, electromagnetic characteristics and MA properties of Fe 3 O 4 /Fe@C nanofibers and Fe 3 O 4 /Fe@C@MoS 2 nanofibers were compared. The minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of Fe 3 O 4 /Fe@C@MoS 2 nanofibers could reach −53.79 dB at 11.12 GHz and the corresponding absorption bandwidth (RL < -10 dB) of 4.4 GHz was achieved at the absorber thickness of 2.24 mm. This work combines electrospinning technology with traditional chemical synthesis to prepare a novel 1D core-shell microwave absorber, which provides some inspiration for preparing MA material in the future.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a vital role in electrolytic water splitting. It is urgent to explore highly active non-precious metal OER catalysts. Herein, the etching combined with the electrodeposition was used to synthesize the efficient Ni–Fe/p-CoAl catalyst, which exhibits ideal OER performance. A low overpotential of 282 mV and 296 mV are needed to achieve the current density of 50 mA/cm 2 and 100 mA/cm 2 in 1 M KOH, respectively. Moreover, the as-prepared catalyst shows good durability with no detectable degradation during long-term operation. The enhanced OER performance can be attributed to the large electrochemical surface area and the strong interaction between Ni–Fe nanosheets and active substrate. Graphical Abstract Etching combined with the electrodeposition method was used to synthesize an efficient Ni–Fe/p-CoAl catalyst for OER.
