2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) is a typical chlorophenol that has been widely used in industrial production and caused serious pollution to the environment. In this study, the performance of Fe/Ni bimetallic nanoparticles supported on polystyrene cation exchange resin (Fe/Ni-D072) to remove 2,4-DCP was evaluated. The effects including the doping amount of Ni, the dosage of Fe/Ni-DCP, the initial concentration of 2,4-DCP, and pH value of the solution on the removal efficiency were also investigated. The results showed that when the initial concentration of 2,4-DCP was 20 mg/L and pH = 7.3, 90% of 2,4-DCP could be dechlorinated by Fe/Ni-D072 (Ni% = 30 wt%, dosage: 6.7 g/L) after 12 h reaction. The dechlorination process followed a pseudo-first-order model, and the reaction constant was 0.252 h −1 . In addition, the effects of humic acid and common coexisting ions on dechlorination were studied. The results showed that humic acid with a low concentration (5 mg/L) and CO 3 2− restrained the degradation of 2,4-DCP. The dechlorination products of 2,4-DCP were identified by HPLC and the result showed phenol was the main product with a slight amount of 2-CP as the dechlorination intermediate, and 4-CP was barely detected. These results suggest that Fe/Ni-D072 was a promising catalytic material for the removal of chlorophenol and has great application prospects in groundwater remediation .

Recently, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have become a dazzling star among porous materials used in many fields. Considering their intriguing features, MOFs have great prospects for application in the field of sustainable agriculture, especially as versatile pesticide-delivery vehicles. However, the study of MOF-based platforms for controlled pesticide release has just begun. Controlled pesticide release responsive to environmental stimuli is highly desirable for decreased agrochemical input, improved control efficacy and diminished adverse effects. In this work, simple, octahedral, iron-based MOFs (NH2-Fe-MIL-101) were synthesized through a microwave-assisted solvothermal method using Fe3+as the node and 2-aminoterephthalic acid as the organic ligand. Diniconazole (Dini), as a model fungicide, was loaded into NH2-Fe-MIL-101 to afford Dini@NH2-Fe-MIL-101 with a satisfactory loading content of 28.1%. The subsequent polydopamine (PDA) modification could endow Dini with pH-sensitive release patterns. The release of Dini from PDA@Dini@NH2-Fe-MIL-101 was much faster in an acidic medium compared to that in neutral and basic media. Moreover, Dini@NH2-Fe-MIL-101 and PDA@Dini@NH2-Fe-MIL-101 displayed good bioactivities against the pathogenic fungus causing wheat head scab (Fusarium graminearum). This research sought to reveal the feasibility of versatile MOFs as a pesticide-delivery platform in sustainable crop protection.Keywords:metal–organic framework;polydopamine;pesticide;pH-sensitive release;fungicidal activity

A composite catalyst Fe@C was successfully prepared by chemical blowing and carbonization method, at the same time its defect level, pore distribution and specific surface area were investigated. In addition, the Mg–Ce–Y + x wt.% Fe@C ( x = 1, 3, 6, 10) composites also were synthesized by mechanical ball-milling. The effect of the Fe@C content on hydrogen absorption and desorption property of the Mg–Ce–Y alloy was characterized by XRD, SEM , TEM, PCI , and DSC method. The activated composites exhibit an excellent absorption and desorption kinetic performance, which attributeed to the efficient catalysis of Fe@C composite catalyst. The Mg–Ce–Y + 6 wt % Fe@C composite exhibits the fastest hydrogen absorption/desorption kinetics and relatively lower decomposition temperature and it can absorb 90% of the maximum hydrogen capacity within 2 min and only takes 12 min to release the same amount of hydrogen under 300 °C. Besides, the dehydrogenation activation energy is reduced to 84.9 kJ/mol and the initial hydrogen release temperature is less than 250 °C, which is owing to the outstanding synergistic catalyst effect of Fe@C on Mg-based hydrogen storage alloy . However, the thermodynamic properties of the composites have not been improved, of which the enthalpy change is 80.6 kJ/mol.

In this paper, iron and nitrogen co-doped carbon material with nanotube structure (Fe/N-C CM -T) was synthesized by pyrolyzing a mixture of Fe salt, chitosan and melamine and displayed high electrocatalytic performance for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The structure of the Fe/N-C CM -T was characterized and their ORR performance in alkaline media was investigated by linear sweep voltammetry , cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry . Fe/N-C CM -T displayed better ORR performance than other carbon materials like Fe/N-C C -800. The Fe/N-C CM -800 with a large surface area (302.5 m 2 /g) especially exhibited the best ORR electrocatalytic performance among the prepared carbon materials, which was also proved by its similar Tafel slope (76 mV decade −1 ) to Pt/C catalyst (74 mV decade −1 ). Fe/N-C CM -800 showed similar ORR activity as commercial Pt/C catalyst, but superior tolerance to methanol and stability. Such high ORR performance of the Fe/N-C CM -T can be attributed to its nanotube structure, high specific surface area (SSA), high graphitic-N and pyridinic-N contents.

Defective electrocatalysts, especially for intrinsic defective carbon, have aroused a wide concern owing to high spin and charge densities. However, the designated nitrogen species favorable for creating defects by the removal of nitrogen, and the influence of defects for the coordination structure of active site and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity have not been elucidated. Herein, we designed and synthesized a pair of electrocatalysts, denoted as Fe-N/C and Fe-ND/C for coordination sites of atomic iron-nitrogen and iron-nitrogen/defect configuration embedded in hollow carbon spheres, respectively, through direct pyrolysis of their corresponding hollow carbon spheres adsorbed with Fe(acac) 3 . The nitrogen defects were fabricated via the evaporation of pyrrolic-N on nitrogen doped hollow carbon spheres. Results of comparative experiments between Fe-N/C and Fe-ND/C reveal that Fe-ND/C shows superior ORR activity with an onset potential of 30 mV higher than that of Fe-N/C. Fe-ND sites are more favorable for the enhancement of ORR activity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation demonstrates that Fe-ND/C with proposed coordination structure of FeN 4− x (0< x <4) anchored by OH as axial ligand during ORR, weakens the strong binding of OH* intermediate and promotes the desorption of OH* as rate-determining step for ORR in alkaline electrolyte. Thus, Fe-ND/C electrocatalysts present much better ORR activity compared with that of Fe-N/C with proposed coordination structure of FeN 4 .

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown a great potential to act as heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts. However, the lower catalytic efficiency and reaction rate are limiting their practical applications. Herein, a facile and efficient strategy was studied to boost the catalytic oxidation performance of MIL-68(Fe)-mediated Fenton-like process with the addition of a minor amount of bisulfite. The factors affecting the catalytic oxidation capacity of the MIL-68(Fe)/HSO 3 − /H 2 O 2 system were investigated using methyl orange (MO) as model pollutant. Under the optimal condition, the degradation rate of MO could be increased by 11.5 times compared to that in MIL-68(Fe)/H 2 O 2 system, and the total organic carbon (TOC) removal in 120 min reached 46.8%. The MIL-68(Fe)/HSO 3 − /H 2 O 2 system also displayed a wide applicable pH range. Besides MO, other organic contaminants such as acid red 18 (AR18), rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB), xylenol orange (XO) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) could be effectively degraded in the MIL-68(Fe)/HSO 3 − /H 2 O 2 system as well. The quenching tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometry confirmed that OH, SO 4 − , HO 2 , and 1 O 2 were the main reactive species for MO degradation in the MIL-68(Fe)/HSO 3 − /H 2 O 2 system. The coumarin fluorometry further disclosed that much more hydroxyl radicals were generated in the MIL-68(Fe)/HSO 3 − /H 2 O 2 system than in MIL-68(Fe)/H 2 O 2 system. Cyclic voltammetry analysis, on the other hand, indicated that the presence of HSO 3 − facilitated the Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle in the MIL-68(Fe)/HSO 3 − /H 2 O 2 system. Based on these results, the enhancement mechanism of the Fenton-like MIL-68(Fe)/HSO 3 − /H 2 O 2 system was proposed. Finally, the cyclic experiments manifested the MIL-68(Fe)/HSO 3 − /H 2 O 2 system had good stability and reusability. This study suggests that the addition of bisulfite being an excellent approach to construct the Fe-MOFs mediated Fenton systems for eliminating organic contaminants in water with high efficiency.

Pillaring technologies have been considered as an effective way to improve lithium storage performance of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene. Nevertheless, the pillared hybrids suffer from sluggish Li + diffusion kinetics and electronic transportation due to the compact multi-layered MXene structure, thus exhibiting inferior rate performance. Herein, the few-layered Ti 3 C 2 MXene (f-Ti 3 C 2 MXene) which is free from restacking can be prepared quickly based on the NH 4 + ions method. Besides, Fe nanocomplex pillared few-layered Ti 3 C 2 T x (FPTC) heterostructures are fabricated via the intercalation of Fe ions into the interlayer of f-Ti 3 C 2 MXene. The f-Ti 3 C 2 MXene which is immune to restacking can provide a highly conductive substrate for the rapid transport of Li + ions and electrons and possess adequate electrolyte accessible area. Moreover, f-Ti 3 C 2 MXene can efficiently relieve the aggregation, prevent the pulverization and buffer the large volume change of Fe nanocomplex during lithiation/delithiation process, leading to enhanced charge transfer kinetics and excellent structural stability of FPTC composites. Consequently, the FPTC hybrids exhibit a high capacity of 535 mAh·g −1 after 150 cycles at 0.5 A·g −1 and an enhanced rate performance with 310 mAh·g −1 after 850 cycles at 5 A·g −1 . This strategy is facile, universal and can be extended to fabricate various few-layered MXene-derived hybrids with superior rate capability.

Graphical Peak Power ! Novel hybrid materials composed of N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with several embedded Fe−Co alloy nanoparticles (CNTs@(Fe,Co)PP) that can serve as highly efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts are derived from bimetallic Fe/Co-coordinated polyporphyrin-CNTs self-assemblies via pyrolysis. The optimal electrocatalyst is used at air electrode in zinc-air battery (ZAB) delivering a higher peak power density and showing a better long-term cycling stability than a ZAB containing the noble metal electrocatalysts Pt/C+RuO 2 . The design and fabrication of efficient, less costly, and stable bifunctional oxygen electrode electrocatalysts is crucial for large-scale production of rechargeable zinc-air batteries. Herein, electrocatalytically active, hybrid materials composed of Fe−Co alloy nanoparticles-embedded N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are synthesized from Fe/Co-polyporphyrin-CNTs via pyrolysis. The materials serve as highly effective bifunctional oxygen electrode catalysts for zinc-air batteries. In particular, the one synthesized at 700 °C, named CNTs@(Fe,Co)PP-700, shows a very good activity for both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline solution. This material catalyzes ORR with a limiting current density of 5.11 mA cm −2 and a half-wave potential of 0.86 V vs RHE. It also catalyzes OER with 10 mA cm −2 at a small overpotential of 360 mV. Besides, it operates well as an air cathode in a home-made rechargeable zinc-air battery, with a small voltage gap of 0.71 V at 2 mA cm −2 , while remaining stable in hundreds of charge-discharge cycles for >83 h. Its performance in a zinc-air battery is better than that of a benchmark air-electrode containing noble metals, Pt/C+RuO 2 .

In this work, we developed a novel magnetic bimetallic Al/Fe (oxyhydr)oxide adsorbent through a facile and cost-effective method and explored its potential to adsorb fluoride in water. Its synthesis involved corrosion of natural magnetite in aluminium chloride solution, followed by titration with NaOH solution for in-situ synthesis of Al/Fe (oxyhydr)oxide-coated magnetite (Mag@Al2Fe). Characterization data indicated a uniform coating of Al/Fe (oxyhydr)oxide on magnetite, and the resulting composite possessed large specific surface area (∼90 m2/g) and good magnetic property. In batch adsorption experiments, the isotherm and kinetic data fitted well to the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of Mag@Al2Fe is 26.5 mg/g, which was much higher than natural magnetite (0.44 mg/g). Moreover, this material retained high adsorption capacity toward fluoride within a wide pH range (3.0–8.0) and offered facile magnetic separation from water. Influence of competing ions was also evaluated which showed that the presence of Cl− and NO3− posed negligible interference, while HCO3− and SO42− had negative effects on fluoride adsorption. Thermodynamic investigations revealed that fluoride adsorption was exothermic and spontaneous. The observed increase in solution pH and formation of Al–F and Fe–F bonds (as indicated by XPS analysis) after fluoride adsorption suggested the major adsorption mechanism of ligand exchange. Besides, the adsorption/desorption cycle studies demonstrated the well-retained performance of Mag@Al2Fe for repeated application after regeneration by 0.5 mol/L NaOH solution. Facile synthesis, high defluoridation, lower cost, and quick separation of Mag@Al2Fe indicates its promising potential for drinking water defluoridation.

To meet the increasing demand for methyl methacrylate, a series of Fe modified Cs–P/γ-Al2O3 catalysts were developed through the impregnation method and tested for the aldol condensation of methyl propionate with formaldehyde in a fixed-bed reactor. Through various characterization studies, the physicochemical properties of the catalysts were systematically studied, especially the relationship between the number of the acid sites and catalytic activity. The number of medium acid sites was increased effectively by the addition of Fe, and the catalytic selectivity was improved consequently. Moreover, the reaction conditions were also optimized, and the life span of the optimized catalyst was evaluated. The Cs–P–0.1Fe/γ-Al2O3 showed excellent reusability during a 260 h lifetime experiment.

To further improve the ethanol sensing performance of LaFeO 3 (LFO) nanoparticles, the co-doping of acceptor and donor at La and Fe sites at equal mole amount was designed to increase the oxygen adsorbing ability of the resultant nanoparticles. A series of (La,Ba)(Fe,Ti)O 3 nanoparticles, with the designed mole ratios of Ba/La (Ti/Fe) as 0, 0.25, 0.33, 0.50, and 1.0, were prepared by a citric sol–gel method. XRD confirmed the main phase of orthorhombic LFO, and the impurity phases of cubic BaTiO 3 (BTO) and orthorhombic BaCO 3 . The incorporation of Ba and Ti into the LFO lattice was verified by the increased unit cell volume of LFO upon more doping. TEM, BET, and XPS measurements indicated that the appropriate co-doping of Ba and Ti into the LFO lattice and the simultaneous existence of BTO and BaCO 3 resulted in smaller grain size, larger BET surface area, and thus higher concentration of adsorbed oxygen species than those in the pristine LFO nanoparticle. Among all (La,Ba)(Fe,Ti)O 3 sensors, the sensor based on the (La,Ba)(Fe,Ti)O 3 nanoparticles with the designed Ba/La = 0.50 exhibited the highest gas response and sensitivity toward ethanol at the prime working temperature of 132 °C, which was ascribed to the higher surface oxygen coverage contributed by the synergistic effect of co-doping and impurity phases on the number of surface active sites and oxygen adsorbing ability.

A series of Fe-Zr mixed-metal oxides were prepared and examined for the simultaneous reduction of NO and SO 2 with CO. The catalyst containing 40 mol% exhibited near-complete conversion of both pollutants at a minimum temperature of 350 °C and a GHSV of 90,000 h −1 . The addition of Fe 3+ to ZrO 2 decreased the crystallinity of the latter phase and significantly enhanced surface area. Concentrations of 30 mol% or greater produced segregated FeO x phases, which affected catalytic performance in distinctly different ways: supported Fe 3+ (30 mol%) possessed similar activity to doped Fe 3+ ; α-Fe 2 O 3 (50 mol%) inhibited activity due to its’ lower reducibility; an amorphous phase (40 mol%) promoted iron-weighted areal activity. A complete identification of the ambiguous component was not successfully established, but the obtained properties revealed that it exhibited weaker interaction with the support and had a size greater than that of oligomeric-Fe 2 O 3 yet smaller than 3 nm.
