In this work, direct Z-Scheme photocatalyst (ZnFe 2 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 ) was employed to purify Cr(VI) and As(III) in wastewater. Results showed that Cr(VI) and As(III) was completely removed in a wide pH range of 3–7 under visible light irradiation. During photo reaction, oxalate enhanced the generation of Fe(II) and CO 2 − , which were beneficial for formation of OH and O 2 − . In photocatalytic system, Fe(II), photogenerated electron, as well as CO 2 − contributed to Cr(VI) reduction, OH and O 2 − were responsible for treatment of As(III). Moreover, ZnFe 2 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 was easily recycled by magnetic separation, and presented an excellent reuse ability in treatment of Cr(VI) and As(III).

The Z-scheme imprinted ZnFe 2 O 4 /Ag/PEDOT was synthesized by the microwave polymerization method and surface imprinting technique, which possessed good partial hollow spherical structure, good light response ability, good magnetic separation performance, good photocatalytic stability and reproducibility. More importantly, due to the introduction of Ag/PEDOT into the surface imprinted layer, Z-scheme structure was formed to enhance the photocatalytic activity based on Ag acted as the mediator, meanwhile, owing to the existence of the imprinted cavity in the surface imprinted layer, the selectivity had been significantly improved, in a word, the as-prepared Z-scheme imprinted ZnFe 2 O 4 /Ag/PEDOT achieved the goal for simultaneously improving the photocatalytic activity and selectivity. Z-scheme imprinted ZnFe 2 O 4 /Ag/PEDOT possessed the highest photodegradation rate (71.77%) for degradation of tetracycline under the simulated sunlight irradiation of 120 min, which was approximately 4.74 times to that of ZnFe 2 O 4 , 1.42 times to that of Ag/PEDOT and 1.31 times to that of non-imprinted ZnFe 2 O 4 /Ag/PEDOT, respectively. And the coefficient of selectivity of Z-scheme imprinted ZnFe 2 O 4 /Ag/PEDOT relative to ZnFe 2 O 4 , Ag/PEDOT, non-imprinted ZnFe 2 O 4 /Ag/PEDOT was 1.84, 1.82, 1.79 in the single antibiotic solution and 1.78, 1.75, 1.67 in the binary antibiotic solution, respectively. This work provided a new synthesis strategy for the imprinted photocatalysts and also provided a new idea for the treatment of specific pollutants in the water environment.

The aberrant vascularization and uneven vascular distribution stemming from rapid tumor cell proliferation culminate arouse intra-tumoral hypoxia, which substantially compromises the therapeutic response to conventional chemotherapy, as well as photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, we present an innovative α-NaYbF4:Tm@Cu2-xSe@ZnFe2O4-DOX nanoplatform that synergistically integrates PTT, Fenton reaction-enhanced chemodynamic therapy, PDT, and doxorubicin (DOX)-based chemotherapy under 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) light activation and weakly acidic environment-initiation. The 10 nm cubic-phase α-NaYbF4:Tm up-conversion cores were initially synthesized. Subsequently, low atomic number (Z) Cu2-xSe nanocrystal grown as photo-thermal conversion agent demonstrated significantly stronger X-radiation (X-ray) attenuation capabilities and enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging performance compared to clinically used iopromide. Furthermore, zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) shell was obtained in hydrothermal synthesis manner. The 980 nm NIR-excited α-NaYbF4:Tm nanoparticles undergo efficient energy down-conversion, emitting photons that perfectly match the absorption spectrum of ZnFe2O4, thereby maximizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through bandgap-engineered photoconversion. The tumor's glycolytic activity creates a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-rich microenvironment, enabling ZnFe2O4-mediated Fenton-like reactions that produce hydroxyl radicals (•OH) radicals, ultimately triggering oxidative damage and apoptotic cell death. It is noted that dual-mode photothermal therapeutic efficacy was achieved by Cu2-xSe and ZnFe2O4 as photothermal nanocrystal with up-conversion luminescence (UCL), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT multimodal imaging. DOX as anticancer chemotherapeutics was conjugated to form α-NaYbF4:Tm@Cu2-xSe@ZnFe2O4-DOX nanoplatforms. It remains effectively release of large quantities of DOX at tumor part conferred response to excessive lactic and carbonic acids generated in cancer cells. Our research may provide an insight for generalizing enhanced synergetic performance by NIR light-mediated PTT, Fenton reaction, PDT and chemotherapy. It is not a simple assembly of known components, but rather a multi-functional synergistic system constructed through ingenious core-shell structural design, capable of responding to near-infrared light and the tumor microenvironment. For the first time, this system seamlessly integrates up-conversion luminescence-mediated PDT, dual photothermal agent-enhanced PTT, self-supplying H2O2 Fenton reactions, and acid/heat dual-responsive chemotherapy into a single nanoplatform. Additionally, it incorporates multimodal imaging capabilities, providing an innovative and comprehensive solution to overcome the clinical challenge of tumor hypoxia.

Herein, we have synthesized Ni and Mn co-doped ZnFe 2 O 4 ferrites using the simple co-precipitation method and their nanocomposites (NCs) with 10 % rGO using the ultra-sonication route. The structural investigation revealed the successful formation of single-phase ZnFe 2 O 4 NPs with cubic spinel ferrite geometry. The crystallite size was determined to be in the range of 21 nm to 28 nm. The current–voltage (I-V) analysis revealed that Ni and Mn co-doping and the addition of rGO nanosheets in ZnFe 2 O 4 NPs boosted the electrical responses of the fabricated Zn 1-x Ni x Fe 2-y Mn y O 4 /rGO NCs. The BET analysis indicates an increase in the surface area of Zn 1-x Ni x Fe 2-y Mn y O 4 /rGO NCs (132 m 2 /g) that might be attributed to the inclusion of rGO nanosheets, which prevents the NPs from agglomeration. The photocatalytic evaluation of the pristine ZnFe 2 O 4 NPs, Ni and Mn co-doped Zn 1-x Ni x Fe 2-y Mn y O 4 NPs, and Zn 1-x Ni x Fe 2-y Mn y O 4 /rGO NCs photocatalysts was tested by photodegradation of malachite green (MG) dye under sunlight irradiation. Results exhibited improved photocatalytic responses and degraded 94.6 % of MG dye in 45 min using Zn 1-x Ni x Fe 2-y Mn y O 4 /rGO NCs, which was much higher compared to the Ni and Mn co-doped Zn 1-x Ni x Fe 2-y Mn y O 4 NPs (58.7 %) and pristine ZnFe 2 O 4 NPs (38.3 %). The increased degradation potential of Zn 1-x Ni x Fe 2-y Mn y O 4 /rGO NCs was accredited to the highly conducting nature and 2D nano-sheets of rGO, which efficiently inhibited the recombination of charge carrier species. Ultimately, the remarkable photocatalytic capability exhibited by Zn 1-x Ni x Fe 2-y Mn y O 4 /rGO NCs implies that the synthesized NCs could have auspicious practical applications in the elimination of dyes from wastewater.

In this work, a two-dimensional optical sensing platform for H 2 O 2 , glucose, and uric acid (UA) detection is developed, which integrates the advantages of colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent techniques. ZnFe 2 O 4 magnetic microspheres with an intrinsic peroxidase-like activity are synthesized to catalyze the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine in the presence of H 2 O 2 , producing a typical yellow substance (oxOPD) with an absorption peak at 420 nm. The oxOPD can significantly quench the fluorescence of boron and nitrogen co-doped CDs (B,N-CDs) at 430 nm through the inner filter effect and generate a new fluorescence emission peak at 556 nm. Thus, the fluorescence intensity ratio ( I 556 / I 430 ) can be utilized for quantitative analysis of the concentrations of H 2 O 2 and H 2 O 2 -involved metabolites (glucose and UA). The colorimetric “naked-eye” readout based on the color change of solution can also be established to determine H 2 O 2, glucose, and UA levels. The detection limit based on colorimetric sensing for H 2 O 2, glucose, and UA are 0.09, 0.9, and 0.9 μM, respectively, and 0.1, 8, and 1 μM using ratiometric fluorescent sensing. Furthermore, this strategy can detect glucose and UA in human serum with satisfactory results, and provide potential applications in the detection of metabolites related to H 2 O 2 release.

Defect engineering, exposed crystal facets, and Z-scheme mechanism are promising strategies to greatly promote photocatalytic performance. Herein, the ZnFe 2 O 4 (ZFO) with Ag-doping, oxygen vacancies and different exposed crystal facets was firstly prepared by a facile hydrothermal strategy. Subsequently, the MoS 2 flowers were in-situ grown on the surface of the prepared Ag-doping ZFO (Ag-ZFO) for fabricating MoS 2 /Ag-ZFO Z-scheme heterojunction by hydrothermal strategy. Due to the synergistic effects of defect engineering (Ag-doping and oxygen vacancies), exposed crystal facets, and Z-scheme mechanism, the photocatalytic activity for tetracycline degradation was evidently improved. More importantly, the prepared MoS 2 /Ag-ZFO (T) also show excellent photocatalytic performance under real environment water. This work offers a new insight for future design and development of highly active photocatalysts.

The artificial-photosynthesized S-scheme heterojunction for photochemical energy conversion has inspired promising implications for green environmental remediation. Herein, we develop a visible-light response Sn-CdS/ZnFe 2 O 4 heterostructure to exhibit efficient photo-Fenton functionalities on the degradation of dye RhB and antibiotic TC under the simulated solar-driven irradiation. In our work, s-p orbital hybridization by Sn-doping has been employed as an effective strategy to reconstruct a new valence band to further modify the sulfides for their long-term stabilities in strong oxidizing environment. We have not only calculated the rationality of doping model and heterostructure but also experimentally verified the photo-physical process of charge transfer. Furthermore, the modified photocatalyst is conducive to contribute to the rapid and sustainable Fenton-like reactions with the best RhB and TC degradation rates of 1.00 μmol·min −1 ·g −1 cat. and 11.26 μmol·min −1 ·g −1 cat. respectively, which synergistically interplays with the generation and transition of reactive oxygen free radicals. This work extends a new viewpoint for the transition metal doping territory of electronic structure optimization to achieve pollutant degradation with high activity and stability to favor water decontamination applications.

A series of environmental-friendly and cost-effective 0D/2D/2D ZnFe 2 O 4 /Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /BiOBr double Z-scheme heterojunctions (abbreviated as xZnCB) were fabricated by a hydrothermal method using an electrostatic self-assembly strategy. The removal efficiencies toward tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC), and doxycycline (DOX) were 93%, 90.1%, and 89.4% in 10ZnCB/sunlight/permonosulfate (PMS) systems within 20 min, and the degradation rate constants of 10ZnCB were 5.7–8.2 times higher than those of ZnFe 2 O 4 and 2.6–2.9 times higher than those of Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /BiOBr (CB) under the same conditions. XPS valence band spectra, quenching experiments, EPR measurements, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated the existence of the double Z-scheme heterojunctions. The coexistence of radical and non-radical pathways caused by photocatalytic and non-photocatalytic degradation mechanisms was also elucidated. PMS was effectively activated by a photoinduced e − , · O 2 − , and Fe(II)/Fe(III) pathway, and active species including · O 2 − , 1 O 2 , SO 4 · − , · OH, and h + participated in the catalytic processes. Unexpectedly, 1 O 2 , and · OH were determined to be the primary species during the degradation processes instead of SO 4 · − . Recycling experiments, metal leaching measurements, and TC degradation experiments in the secondary effluent demonstrated the excellent catalytic and structural properties of these xZnCB hybrid materials.

The selenylation/sulfuration of magnetic precursor brings about the great challenges to construct magnetic transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)-based multicomponent nanocomposites (MCNCs), which greatly hinders the improvements in magnetic loss ability and impedance matching characteristic. Theoretically speaking, the addition of carbon layer is conducive to protect the magnetic nanoparticles, optimize the impedance matching, strengthen the interfacial polarization and magnetic loss abilities, and so on. In order to verify these ideas, herein, we elaborately designed and produced core@shell ZnSe/FeSe 2 @MoSe 2 and core@shell@shell ZnFe 2 O 4 @C@MoSe 2 flower-like MCNCs. The results of comparative study indicated that the as-prepared ZnSe/FeSe 2 @MoSe 2 and ZnFe 2 O 4 @C@MoSe 2 with the different MoSe 2 contents and flower-like geometrical morphologies could be synthesized by regulating the amounts of Mo and Se sources. And the introduction of carbon layer not only effectively inhibited the selenylation of ZnFe 2 O 4 precursor, but also greatly improved the impedance matching characteristic, dielectric and magnetic loss capabilities. The obtained ZnFe 2 O 4 @C@MoSe 2 MCNCs presented the excellent comprehensive microwave absorption properties (MAPs) including strong absorption capability, broad frequency bandwidth and thin matching thickness. Therefore, our findings not only presented a simple and viable route to produce magnetic TMDs-based MCNCs, but also provided an effective strategy to boost their comprehensive MAPs.
