α-AlH 3 is regarded as one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials due to its high hydrogen storage capacity (10.1 wt.%, 148 kg·m −3 ). However, in practical applications, the associated hydrogen release temperature remains relatively high. To effectively address this issue, hollow structured Fe@C nanorods derived from Fe-MOF are introduced as highly efficient catalyst to optimize the dehydrogenation properties of α-AlH 3 . Comparatively, the initial hydrogen release temperature of α-AlH 3 + 3 wt.% Fe@C is reduced to 94.2 °C, which is significantly lower than that of pure α-AlH 3 (137.8 °C). At 100 and 120 °C, it exhibits hydrogen capacities of 5.38 wt.% and 7.47 wt.%, respectively, whereas pure α-AlH 3 only delivers hydrogen capacities of 0.24 wt.% and 5.94 wt.% under the same temperatures. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations further indicate that the existence of Fe@C catalyst can make the length of Al–H bond increase, which is more conducive to the release of hydrogen. The results show that the synergistic effect of Fe and porous carbon in Fe@C nanorods can improve the hydrogen desorption kinetics of α-AlH 3 , providing a good prospect for the application of α-AlH 3 in hydrogen storage fields.

EMIm+, as a substitute for Li+, can solve the initial problems that accompany lithiation/delithiation processes on an anode. However, the larger size of EMIm+ limits the options when it comes to electrode materials. Herein, a multilayered Ti3C2Tx MXene was electrochemically pre-intercalated with Fe ions to achieve EMIm+ hosting abilities. As a result, a pre-intercalated MXene electrode exhibited enhanced EMIm+ transport and storage capabilities. When integrated with an EMIm+[PF6]− ionic liquid electrolyte, the assembled DIB provides an energy density of 76 W h kg−1 at a power density of 360 W kg−1, and 94.3% of the energy density is retained after 50 cycles. Compared with a pristine example, the Fe pre-intercalated Ti3C2Tx MXene showed a significant increase in electrochemical performance. Employing this approach to optimize layered materials may open up a new route for accurately tuning intercalated materials.

Rational design of highly efficient electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential to construct high-performance energy devices. In this study, we have developed an electrospinning, in situ polymerization and carbonization process to fabricate Fe doped CoO/C (Fe-CoO/C) nanofibers as efficient OER electrocatalysts. In the synthesized Fe-CoO/C nanofibers, ultrathin carbon layer can be used as conductive network to promote electron transfer and thus improve the electrocatalytic activity. At the same time, additional active sites, like bridged site, formed by Fe doping, also provides the catalyst excellent electrochemical activity in OER. The as-prepared Fe-CoO/C nanofibers exhibit an excellent OER activity with an overpotential of 362 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm −2 in an alkaline medium, which is comparable with the commercial RuO 2 catalyst. After 2500 cyclic voltammograms (CVs) cycles test, the catalyst still maintains the initial electrocatalytic activity, demonstrating a great durability. This strategy introduces both carbon layer and Fe doping to increase the conductivity and the density of active sites of CoO nanofibers, thus enhancing the electrocatalytic activity and stability. This work offers an efficient route to develop low-cost and highly active transitional metal oxide-based OER electrocatalyst for potential renewable electrochemical energy conversion and storage.

Fe-36Ni invar alloys (Invar 36 alloys), which have a low thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) and good mechanical properties, are typically produced through a high-pollution smelting process. A green and quick-process method for the two-step hydrogen reduction of a designed mixture of Fe 2 O 3 and NiO powders was developed to prepare Fe-36 wt.%Ni alloys. A dense Fe-36 wt.%Ni alloy with an oxygen content of 0.20 wt.% was successfully produced. A single γ -FeNi phase was identified at 1000°C, whereas grains and twins became more evident at 1100°C. The final alloy exhibited excellent mechanical properties at room temperature, showing a hardness of 154 HV, a tensile strength of 486 MPa, a yield strength of 251 MPa, and a fracture strain of 21%.

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.

Herein, a nanocomposite of Cu,Ce-containing phosphotungstates (Cu,Ce-PTs) with outstanding laccase-like activity was fabricated via a one-pot microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. Notably, it was discovered that both Fe 3+ and Cr 6+ could significantly enhance the electron transfer rates of Ce 3+ and Ce 4+ , along with generous Cu 2+ with high catalytic activity, thereby promoting the laccase-like activity of Cu,Ce-PTs. The proposed system can be used for the detection of Fe 3+ and Cr 6+ in a range of 0.667–333.33 μg/mL and 0.033–33.33 μg/mL with a low detection limit of 0.135 μg/mL and 0.0288 μg/mL, respectively. The proposed assay exhibits excellent reusability and selectivity and can be used in traditional Chinese medicine samples analysis.

The Fe-metal organic framework decorated MXene (Fe-MOF/MXene) was in-situ synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method in the presence of MXene. Using Fe-MOF/MXene as modifier, the obtained Fe-MOF/MXene electrode presented excellent electrochemical activity due to the high surface area and good conductivity of MXene. A sensitive arsenite electrochemical sensor was fabricated based on the strong As-hydroxyl bonding at the Fe-MOF/MXene electrode, confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry characterization indicated that MXene facilitated the charge transfer with enhanced electrochemical response. The Fe-MOF/MXene modified electrode exhibited super-high current response to As(III) by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry, with extremely high sensitivity (8.94 µA·(ng·L −1 ) −1 ·cm −2 ) and super-low limit of detection (0.58 ng·L −1 ). The analysis of the real water demonstrated that the Fe-MOF/MXene-based sensor was feasible for the detection of As(III) in practical application.

The construction of metal–organic frameworks that possesses the tunable metal active sites and synergistic effect for the reactant activation is an attractive strategy for the optimization of photocatalytic performance. Herein, a series of MIL-88A(Fe 1-x Cu x ) were synthesized for photocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). It was characterized that the Fe 2+ and oxygen vacancies were produced in MIL-88A(Fe) due to the partly reduction of ligand fumaric acid in synthesis process. The substitution of Fe 3+ with Cu 2+ induces charge imbalance and lattice distortion, further increasing the content of Fe 2+ and oxygen vacancies. The optimal sample MIL-88A(Fe 0.95 Cu 0.05 ) (CMA-5 %) exhibits the highest nitrogen fixation performance of 68.6 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 , which is 8 times higher than that of the pristine material. It is attributable to the synergistic effect of the abundant Fe 2+ and oxygen vacancies as active sites to promote N 2 coordination and photogenerated carrier separation, resulting in the efficient conversion of activated N 2 to NH 3 . Furthermore, the in-situ Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy provide clear evidence of the behavior of the N 2 adsorption and activation on the catalyst. Finally, we propose a potential mechanism at molecular level regarding the relationship between the synergistic effect and the nitrogen fixation activity.

Upcycling the wasted polyamide 6 (PA6) to its monomer caprolactam via depolymerization is a promising way to build the resource cycling and alleviate the environmental pollution. High efficient catalyst for PA6 depolymerization is desirable and crucial. Herein, a sulfonated Fe-MOF catalyst was designed and performed as solid acid catalyst for the PA6 depolymerization for the first time. Results showed that a 100% conversion of PA6 solid to water-soluble liquid products can be achieved at temperatures of 250°C after only 1-h reaction. LC/MS results indicated that the water-soluble products were mainly composed of caprolactam and their oligomers. Without catalyst, nearly no water-soluble products can be obtained at the same condition. Moreover, a high selectivity of 90% caprolactam production in the water-soluble liquid products was achieved at 260°C, 5 h. The reaction rate constants at 240°C, 250°C, and 260°C were determined to be 0.024, 0.033, and 0.064, respectively, with a Ea value of 101.8 kJ/mol, showing positive temperature dependent relationship. The comparison of catalytic performances over sulfonated Fe-MOFs, FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O and the pristine un-sulfonated Fe-MOF suggested the synergistic contribution of Fe sites (Lewis acid centers) and the sulfonic acid sites to the catalytic performances. Graphical Water soluble liquid products (100 wt.%) with a high selectivity of 90% caprolactam can be achieved by the addition of Fe-MOF catalyst under a mild condition through the synergistic catalytic contribution of Fe sites (Lewis acid centers) and the sulfonic acid sites.

The electron transfer rate in photocatalysts is one of the factors determining their hydrogen production activity. In this work, NH2-MIL-88B(Fe) (NFM) was synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal synthesis method and NFM/GDY-25 (NFMG-25) was successfully synthesized by loading graphdiyne (GDY) onto the surface of NFM. The hydrogen production performance and the mechanism of the prepared photocatalysts were systematically investigated using XRD, SEM, FT-IR, XPS, UV-Vis, PL and photoelectrochemical tests. The results showed that the hydrogen production of NFMG-25 reached 61.7 μmol in 5 hours. Photoelectrochemical and Mott–Schottky tests demonstrated that the composite catalyst exhibited high photogenerated carrier separation efficiency and single catalysts were n-type semiconductors. The conduction bands of NFM and GDY were −0.36 V and −0.56 V, respectively, while the valence bands were 1.90 V and 1.12 V. NFM acted as an electron acceptor and donor, which accelerated the transfer of the electrons, and enhanced the photocatalytic hydrogen production efficiency of the composite system. This study provides an effective method for using NFM in photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Icosahedral boron arsenide B 12 As 2 is a self-healing semiconductor potentially applied in harshly irradiated environments. However, doping effects were rarely investigated to expand their applications. Hereby, a low-cost mechanochemical strategy is proposed to synthesize B 12 As 2 nanocrystals with a boron transformation rate of ∼70%. Nano-B 12 As 2 of 40–50 nm could be self-doped with Fe element and purified by aqua regia. Fe accounts from ∼0.00–1.77 at% with rotational speeds. Based on nano-size effects and Fe-doping effects, the photoluminescence process shows an indirect band-gap at E g = 2.81 eV and the presence of impurity energy level at E′= 2.11 eV. The optical absorption is red-shifted from the reported UV region to the visible region. The multiply increased photocatalytic hydrogen production (249 μmol∙h −1 ∙g −1 vs. 92.2 μmol∙h −1 ∙g −1 ) and photocurrent density (∼6 times) indicate that Fe-doping enhances the photo-excitement and the separation of the photoinduced carrier. First-principles calculations reveal a robust B 12 As 2 structure doped by Fe, bonding to icosahedral B 12 clusters and its nearest As via the Fe(III) style. Doped-Fe alters HOMO and LUMO orbital components, reduces the optical band-gap and becomes the activated carrier-separation center. Overall, a novel synthetic method and mechanism of Fe-doping are revealed that would facilitate optical applications of B 12 As 2 crystals under extreme conditions.

The present study utilized W nanopowders (prepared by a two-stage reduction process consisting of steps of carbothermic pre-reduction and hydrogen deep reduction) to produce fine-grained 90W-7Ni-3Fe and 93W-4.9Ni-2.1Fe alloys. The effects of sintering temperature [in a range of 1573 K to 1723 K (1300 °C to 1450 °C)] and time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of W-Ni-Fe alloys were studied in detail. The microstructures of the prepared alloys at 1573 K and 1673 K (1300 °C and 1400 °C) indicated that the grain sizes of W grains are < 5 μ m. However, the grain size dramatically increases to > 5 μ m after sintering for > 60 minutes at 1723 K (1450 °C). The observation shows the as-sintered alloys with different holding times exhibit different fracture modes. With increasing holding time, the hardness of two alloys first increases and then decreases at the same sintering temperature. It is also concluded that the bending strength of alloys increases with the increase of sintering temperature. The maximum hardness of 381 and 393.6 HV was obtained after sintering at 1573 K (1300 °C) for 60 minutes for 90W-7Ni-3Fe and 93W-4.9Ni-2.1Fe alloys, respectively, while the highest bending strength of 1381.4 and 1278.8 MPa could be achieved at 1673 K (1400 °C) for 120 minutes. The excellent mechanical properties of W-Ni-Fe alloys could be attributed to the grain refinement strengthening.
