Mesoporous bimetallic Fe/Co was prepared as a Fenton-like catalyst to degrade the tetracycline hydrochlorides (TC). The nanocasting strategy with KIT-6 as a hard template was carried out to synthesize the mesoporous bimetallic catalyst. The mesoporous bimetallic Fe/Co catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. The results showed that the catalyst has significant nanofeatures; the surface area, pore size, and particle size were 113.8 m 2 g −1 , 4 nm, and 10 nm, respectively. In addition, the effects of the operating parameters, such as the iron-to-cobalt ratio, pH, H 2 O 2 , and initial TC concentrations on its catalytic performance were investigated. The best operating parameters were as follows: iron-to-cobalt ratio = 2:1 to 1:1, pH = 5–9, H 2 O 2 : 30 mmol, initial TC less than 30 mg/L. Furthermore, the mesoporous bimetallic Fe/Co showed a good performance for degrading TC, achieving a removal rate of 86% of TC after 3 h under the reaction conditions of H 2 O 2 = 30 mmol, mesoporous bimetallic Fe/Co = 0.6 g/L, TC = 30 mg/L, pH = 7.0, and temperature = 25.5 °C. The mesoporous bimetallic Fe/Co catalyst shows good stability and reusability. This work demonstrated that mesoporous bimetallic Fe/Co has excellent catalytic efficiency, smaller amounts of leached ions, and wider pH range, which enhance its potential applications.

The Fe(III)-doped BiOCl catalyst was successfully prepared via a one-step solution combustion synthesis (SCS), and they were characterized by XRD, FESEM, HRTEM, XPS, PL and DRS analysis. With the doping of Fe(III), the SCS catalysts become finer and more uniform, and show narrowed bandgap, which makes the Fe(III)-BiOCl can be excited to form photogenerated electrons and holes under visible light irritation and improve the photocatalytic performance. Compared with the SCS BiOCl, the FB1-2 sample exhibits doubled surface area (9.62 m 2 /g), narrowed bandgap (1.35 eV) and quadrupling degrading efficiency for Rhodamine B (RhB) (93% at 60 min). In addition, through the capturing of free radicals, the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of RhB was proposed, in which the active substances ∙O 2 − and h + played a leading role in the degradation process. Owing to the novel one-step combustion process and resulting in excellent photocatalytic performance, the Fe(III) doping BiOCl is demonstrated as a prospective catalyst for degrading dye pollutants.

A fluorescent porous tetraphenylethylene-based organic polymer ( PTOP ) was constructed by the reaction of 5,5',5'',5‴-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayltetrakis(benzene-4,1-diyl))tetrakis(pyrimidin-2-amine) and cyanuric chloride in the presence of potassium carbonate. CO 2 sorption experiment at 195 K reveals the permanent porosity of PTOP with a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area of 227 m 2 g −1 . In particular, the existence of rich secondary amines and pyrimidine nitrogen atoms surrounding the 1,3,5-triazine moieties in PTOP provides abundant chelating sites for metal ions, endowing a fast-response and sensitive fluorescence sensing Fe(III) with a low limit of detection of 4.5 μM. In addition, this polymer also shows an excellent sensing performance towards nitrobenzene with good selectivity and a low detection limit of 1.6 nM.

Fe, N-doped graphene-like carbon layers-wrapped carbon black composite (L-Fe-AD+C) was developed by pyrolyzing the mixture of Fe-adenine precursors and conductive carbon black as an efficient catalyst to oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Graphitic N sites with more ORR activity are preferentially formed due to the facilitation of metallic Fe. Furthermore, graphene-like ultra-thin networks wrapped around nanoparticles of carbon black greatly increase the exposure of active sites and construct continuous diffusion channels favorable for the transfer of substances. As a result, the as-prepared L-Fe-AD+C exhibits an excellent ORR activity in alkaline electrolyte with a high half wave potential (0.88 V), and superior selectivity together with admirable stability, which are comparable to those of the benchmark Pt/C catalyst. More encouragingly, the L-Fe-AD+C can serve as an efficient cathode catalyst in a zinc-air battery, which reaches a peak power density of 221 mW cm −2 approximating to that of Pt/C catalyst (236 mW cm −2 ). The battery also shows a steady discharge voltage plateau of 1.26 V and specific capacity of 799 mAh g −1 at a discharge current density of 10 mA cm −2 . The results suggest the considerable potential of the L-Fe-AD+C catalyst to replace precious metal catalysts.

The Fenton method is an important water treatment process. However, the mechanism of the Fenton reaction is still not widely recognized. In this article, the autocatalysis process responsible for the degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) as well as the generation of Fe(II) and the decomposition of H2O2 is elaborated using a Fe(III)/H2O2 system. It was found that the one electron reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) via oxidization of H2O2 to ˙HO2 is not spontaneous according to the standard electrode potential rather than being limited by the rate constant of 0.0027 M−1 s−1 in view of the Haber–Weiss circulation. However, the reaction of Fe(III) and 4-CP is spontaneous with a second-order kinetic rate constant of >0.12 M−1 s−1 and a conversion rate of 0.56%, which triggers the switch of the Fenton-like reaction as a real rate-determining step. The circulation of Fe(III) to Fe(II) in the proposed Fenton-like reaction mechanism depends on the organic species and various intermediates, which indicates its reaction selectivity, preferable for organics with a stronger thermodynamic and kinetic activity. Besides, a slight pH decline with time-scale and the stoichiometric ratio of ˙OH to H2O2 and H2O2 to 4-CP being 1 and 2, respectively, pointed to the new proposed reaction mechanism. The discovery of the new reaction mechanism might promote the theoretical and technical advancement of the Fenton-like process.

Fe N C is the most promising material to replace the noble metal catalyst for cathodic oxygen reduction reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). However, the practical performance of Fe N C catalyst is significantly limited by its low active site (Fe-N 4 ) density. Herein, we propose to promote the formation of Fe-N 4 active sites in Fe N C catalyst by strengthening the interaction of N precursors and Fe precursors during the carbonization synthesis. In our approach, ionic liquid (IL, [EMIM][NTf 2 ]) with high nitrogen content and good thermal stability is caged in the pores of Fe-ZIF-8 through the host–guest interactions. These interactions are critical for the preservation of Fe and N species and formation of active sites during the synthesis. The optimal catalyst developed with this approach (Fe 0.05 N C/10) has a high density of accessible Fe-N 4 sites (1.88*10 19 sites g −1 ). Therefore, in both acidic and alkaline media, Fe 0.05 N C/10 showed excellent ORR activity comparable to commercial Pt/C catalyst. Moreover, PEMFC performance with a peak power density of 300 mW cm −2 was demonstrated with Fe 0.05 N C/10 under H 2 /O 2 conditions. The synthetic approach reported herein may be used for tailoring of advanced catalyst with high intrinsic activity.

In this paper, a series of coated fabrics based on Fe-doped BaSnO3 (BaSn1–xFexO3−δ, x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25) powder pigments were prepared. The results indicate that the developed pigments are substitutional solid solutions with no impurity and the valencies of iron confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) are +2 and +3. The BaSn1–xFexO3−δ pigments possess high near-infrared (NIR) solar reflectance (64.92–79.81%), and the change in the near-infrared reflectance value can be explained by the free carrier concentration and electron trap theory. The pigments exhibit the alteration of yellow-green to brown, which is ascribed to the charge-transfer transition (Sn 5s + 5p ↔ Fe 3d). The BaSn1–xFexO3−δ-coated fabrics exhibit excellent high NIR solar reflectance and thermal insulating performance. The NIR solar reflectance of the BaSn0.80Fe0.20O3−δ-coated fabric is up to 64.30%. Compared with those of brown uncoated fabric and conventional brown (Pigment Yellow 42) coated fabric, the inner surface temperature of the BaSn0.80Fe0.20O3−δ-coated fabric is lowered by 7.6 and 4.2 °C, while the heat absorption is reduced by 51.0 and 37.9%, respectively. The coated fabric shows excellent washing durability and chemical stability. In summary, these coated fabrics have the potential to serve as thermal insulation coated fabrics.

A composite soil conditioner based on Fe-doped hydroxyapatite/polydopamine/amino carbon nanotubes (Fe-HAP@PDA@CNT-NH 2 ) was prepared for controlling release of flavic acid (FA) fertilizers and for the treatment of soil contaminants methylene blue (MB). Firstly, Fe-doped hydroxyapatite (Fe-HAP) was prepared by hydrothermal method. Then, Fe-doped hydroxyapatite/polydopamine/aminocarbon nanotube (Fe-HAP@PDA@CNT-NH 2 ) composite was prepared by in situ polymerization of dopamine (DA) with amino carbon nanotubes (CNT-NH 2 ) on the Fe-HAP surface. Finally, Fe-HAP@PDA@CNT-NH 2 @FA composite soil conditioner was obtained by loading with FA. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were applied to analyze the composition and morphology of the composites. The loading and slow release experiments showed that Fe-HAP@PDA@CNT-NH 2 owned good loading efficiency on FA and had a wide applicability with different fertilizer slow release effects in different pH environments. Adsorption experiment revealed that Fe-HAP@PDA@CNT-NH 2 possessed high adsorption capacity for MB under different pH conditions. The pseudo-second order and Langmuir models discussed above can be utilized to describe the adsorption mechanism utilizing kinetic and isothermal adsorption models. In addition, the plant experiment also proved the effect of the composite soil conditioner on soil and plants. Hence, the new composite soil conditioner has a great promoting effect on soil improvement and crop growth.

In the design of photocatalysts for ammonia synthesis, the construction of effective nitrogen (N2) adsorption and activation sites is critical. Herein, Fe single atoms were effectively fixed on the surfaces of WO2.72–x nanowires. Electronic interactions between single Fe atoms and WO2.72–x resulted in a d-band center shift toward the Fermi level and thus enhancement of N2 bonding with the catalyst surface. The studies of differential charge density and electron localization reveal that there is enhanced electron transfer from Fe-SA/WO2.72–x to the adsorbed N2, signifying that Fe single atoms are active centers for N2 activation. Benefiting from electronic interactions, the optimized catalyst shows a NH4+ generation rate of 186.5 μmol g–1 h–1 during photocatalytic N2 reduction.

The design of efficient iron-based catalysts remains a great challenge for selective cyclohexane oxidation to cyclohexanone under mild conditions. Because of the complex distribution of iron location on the support, the selectivity is always low. Here, we report a general strategy to selectively deposit highly-dispersed FeO x into the micropore of ZSM-5 by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The framework of ZSM-5 and the Brønsted acid sites are intact during ALD, and the Fe species are selectively deposited onto the defect and Lewis acid sites of ZSM-5. Besides, more Fe-O-Si bonds are formed over FeO x /ZSM-5 with a low loading of Fe, while FeO x nanoparticles are generated at high Fe loading. They cannot be realized by the traditional solution method. The obtained FeO x /ZSM-5 catalysts perform high selectivity of cyclohexanone (92%–97%), and ALD cycle numbers of FeO x control the activity. Compared with the Fe nanoparticles, the Fe-O-Si species performs higher turnover frequency and stability in the oxidation reaction.

In order to improve the low ductility of the Mo-Ni alloy, Fe is added and the effects of Ni/Fe mass ratio on the densification behavior, microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of alloy were investigated. The experimental results show that when iron is added to 95Mo-5Ni alloy, the formation of brittle intermetallic phase δ -MoNi at the grain boundary is avoided. Meanwhile, the grain growth of Mo is also effectively inhibited in the sintering process. However, the addition of iron reduces the degree of densification of alloy since the activation effect of Ni is superior to that of Fe. From the experimental results, it could be concluded that the maximum hardness and bending strength are achieved by 95Mo-1.5Ni-3.5Fe alloy, which are HV 614 and 741 MPa, respectively. Combined with the analyses of bending fracture mechanism, the improvement relative to Mo-Ni alloy is likely attributed to the inhibition of the brittle phase.

Designing cost-effective bifunctional catalysts with high-performance and durability is of great significance for renewable energy systems. Herein, typical Fe, Ni-codoped W18O49/NF was prepared via a simple solvothermal method. The incorporation of Fe ions enhanced the electronic interaction and enlarged the electrochemically active surface area. The increased W4+ leads to a high proportion of unsaturated WO bonds, thus enhancing the adsorption capacity of water. The valence configuration of nickel (Ni) sites in such dual-cation doping is well adjusted, realizing a high proportion of trivalent Ni ions (Ni3+). Due to the orbital interactions, the Fe3+/Ni3+ ions and OER reaction intermediates exhibit strong orbital overlap. The positions of the valence band and conduction band are well modulated. As a result, the Fe, Ni-codoped W18O49/NF shows improved electrocatalytic activity, and achieves a low decomposition voltage of 1.58 V at 10 mA cm−2 and retains long-time stability.
