Electro-Fenton (e-Fenton) reactions boosted using microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can degrade contaminants with high efficiency, the treatment is generally performed in the aqueous phase and the sludge pollution is ignored in such MFCs. In this study, a sediment MFC e-Fenton (SMFC-e-Fenton) system was proposed for the degradation of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in both aqueous and solid phases. A Fe@Mn-codoped biochar gas diffusion cathode was fabricated to produce hydroxyl radicals without any additional power input. The studied NSAIDs of ibuprofen (IBU), naproxen (NPX), and diclofenac (DCF) exhibited total degradation efficiencies (including aqueous and sludge phase) of 99.1%, 98.5%, and 80.6%, respectively, in the SMFC-e-Fenton system. Compared with sludge anaerobic digestion, the residual amounts of IBU, NPX, and DCF reduced from 10.2%, 24.6%, and 32.2% to 2.7%, 4.4%, and 8.5%, respectively, in the sludge phase. Moreover, the electricity generation and sludge reduction improved owing to the e-Fenton process. Using the SMFC-e-Fenton system, the effects of NSAIDs were reduced and the richness and diversity of the microbial community are maintained, improving the overall system performance. These results demonstrate that the SMFC-e-Fenton method is a high-efficiency, economic and environmental friendly technology for simultaneously treating NSAIDs in the aqueous and sludge phases.

Mn-substituted FeOOH with different Mn/(Mn + Fe) molar ratios are synthesized, and characterized using FESEM, XRD, FTIR, ICP-OES, BET, Zeta potential, TG-DSC, XPS, and VSM. The results show that the actual doping amounts of Mn are 0%, 3.05%, 6.13%, 9.04%, 12.70%, and 15.14%, respectively. The substitution of Mn promotes the transformation of goethite from FeOOH to MnFe2O4, resulting in a saturation magnetization intensity of up to 14.90 emu/g for G-Mn15%, laying a theoretical foundation for magnetic recovery. The specific surface area of Mn-substituted FeOOH increases from 57.15 m2/g to 315.26 m2/g with an increasing Mn substitution amount. Combined with the abundant oxygen-containing functional groups such as -OH, Fe-O, and Mn-O on the surface, sufficient active sites are provided for the efficient adsorption of U(VI). The TG-DSC analysis results indicate that the substitution of Mn improves the thermal stability of goethite. In addition, XPS analysis results indicate that the substitution of Mn leads to the conversion of Fe3+to Fe2+in goethite, and the conversion of Mn2+to Mn3+replaces Fe3+in the structure of goethite. Fe-O and Mn-O coordinate participate in the adsorption and reduction process of U(VI). The batch experiment results show that the substitution of Mn promotes the adsorption performance of goethite for U(VI). When T = 303 K, pH = 4.0, m/V = 0.5 g/L, and I = 0.01 mol/L NaCl, the maximum adsorption capacity of G-Mn15% for U(VI) is 79.24 mg/g, indicating the potential value of Mn substitution for goethite in the treatment of uranium-containing wastewater.

The slow kinetics and poor structural stability prevent transition metal selenides from being widely used in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Herein, the “flower-like” porous carbon anchored by Zn-Mn binary selenides (ZMS@FC) composites are fabricated by selenizing the modified hierarchically metal-organic frameworks. The 2D conductive hierarchically flakes’ abundant pore structure and multiple active sites shorten the ion diffusion length and promote conductivity, while the synergistic effect of the binary metals and intrinsic large pseudocapacitive contribution effectively improve capacity and rate performance. ZMS@FC composites exhibit impressive rate capability of 294.4 mA h g –1 at 10 A g –1 and excellent cyclic stability with 369.6 mA h g –1 specific capacity retention at 2 A g –1 after 1000 cycling in SIBs. It is noted that 156.9 mA h g –1 can be retained at 5 A g –1 and 227.0 mA h g –1 is remained after 500 cycles at 2 A g –1 in PIBs. The ex situ X-ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscopy pictures are used to confirm the conversion reaction processes of the Zn-Mn-Se. Designing high-performance energy storage materials may benefit greatly from the universal synthesis technology of bimetallic sulfide anodes for enhanced SIBs and PIBs.

Strong magnetic coupling interactions originating from a short Mn–Mn distance in some heavy Mn2+-doped matrices have important effects on luminescence of single Mn2+ ions and close-knit Mn2+–Mn2+ pairs. However, the intrinsic mechanism of controlling spectral regulation remains elusive since the underlying relationship among Mn–Mn distances, magnetic coupling interactions, and optical properties is unclear. Herein, we create an unusual red emission (620 nm) of Mn2+ in a typical tetra-coordinated lattice of Li2CdGeO4 by simply enhancing the Mn2+-doped level in addition to regular green emission (528 nm). Although the dual emission peaks occupy the same tetra-coordinated crystallographic lattice of CdO4, different temperature-dependent emission behaviors are observed, which expands a possibility in optical thermometry sensors. Detailed Mn–Mn distances are calculated via Rietveld refinement analysis, and their effects on the Mn–Mn coupling interactions are evaluated. Furthermore, the Mn–Mn coupling interaction types are identified through electron spin resonance and magnetic measurements. The continuously decreasing distances between Mn2+ ions strengthen the dipole–dipole coupling effect, resulting in the atypical red emission in a tetra-coordinated lattice environment. These findings elucidate the spectral regulation mechanism from the perspective of magnetic coupling interactions, providing a new pathway to regulate Mn2+-related emission.

The lack of red emission component with a high color rendering index (CRI) results in a harsh white light-emitting diode. Here, a high-pressure strategy is introduced to achieve a marked piezochromism that shifts from green to red in zero-dimensional (0D) manganese halide (C 6 H 14 N 2 )MnCl 4 . Note that after the pressure is released, the red emission with intense intensity can be stabilized at ambient conditions. The CRI and color purity of the red emission for the quenched (C 6 H 14 N 2 )MnCl 4 are significantly improved to 72 and 85.9% from the initial 14 and 66.5%, respectively. The irreversible pressure-induced amorphization highly contributes to the quenched high-efficiency red emission through the strengthening of the crystal field and Mn–Mn coupling, associated with the shortening of the Mn─Cl bond length and Mn–Mn distance. This work unravels the underlying mechanism of piezochromism from green to red, and retention of intense red emission from the Mn-based metal halides, greatly facilitating the development of new-generation amorphous-state luminescent materials.

Catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions mediated by enzyme have been proposed as an effective remediation strategy to remove micropollutants, however, little is known about how the Mn(II) redox cycling affects the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mediated reactions in wastewater treatment . Here, we explored the removal of two pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), methylparaben (MeP) and acetaminophen (AAP), in HRP-mediated reaction system with dissolved Mn (II). It was found that the conversion rate of AAP was about 284 times higher than that of MeP, and Mn (II) significantly inhibited HRP-catalyzed MeP removal but had little influence on that of AAP. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and theoretical calculations demonstrated that HRP converted Mn(II) into Mn(III), and then generated MnO 2 colloid, which inhibited the removal of the substrates. Moreover, the results of theoretical calculations also showed that the binding energy between HRP and Mn was 27.68 kcal/mol, which was higher than that of MeP (25.24 kcal/mol) and lower than that of AAP (30.19 kcal/mol). Therefore, when MeP and Mn (II) coexisted in the reaction system, HRP preferentially reacted with Mn(II), which explained the different impacts of Mn (II) on the removal of MeP and AAP. Additionally, Mn (II) significantly altered the product distribution by decreasing the amount of polymerization products. Overall, our work here revealed the roles of Mn (II) in the removal of MeP and AAP mediated by HRP, having strong implications for an accurate assessment of the influence of Mn(II) redox cycling on the removal of PPCPs in wastewater treatment.

The long-term accumulation of manganese sulfate residues can lead to the release of soluble manganese ions, thereby contaminating the surrounding environment. Although numerous methods exist to address the issue of soluble manganese ions, current harmless treatment approaches fail to consider the subsequent utilization of manganese slag. This study aims to control the magnetic properties of processed residues by adjusting the addition of barium hydroxide and the reaction duration. Our results reveal that the harmless treatment of manganese sulfate slag is achievable with various amounts of barium hydroxide, and the magnetic properties of the reconstructed slag increase with the increased barium hydroxide dosage. Magnetic separation is employed to separate the magnetic components from the reconstructed slag, and the distribution state of these magnetic substance is modulated by altering the particle size and reagent addition. Under optimal conditions, this study finds that the grade of iron was 24.17 %, the grade of manganese was 8.08 %, and the recovery could reach 79 % for iron and 70 % for manganese. Finally, the fining slag obtained by magnetic separation was utilized as an additive in the preparation of ferrites, reducing the minimum reflection loss of the ferrites to −16.18 dB, signifying up to 90 % electromagnetic wave attenuation. These findings indicate that the fining slags holds great potential as a dopant for ferrites, offering a viable pathway for the resourceful and environmentally friendly treatment of manganese sulfate residues.

Passive NO x adsorbers (PNAs) are promising materials for mitigating cold-start NO x emissions, yet their performance is often limited by poor adsorption kinetics and insufficient hydrothermal durability. Herein, we report a triethanolamine (TEOA)-assisted synthesis strategy for Mn/CeZrO x PNAs that enables highly dispersed MnO x species with strengthened Mn-support interactions. Compared with conventionally prepared Mn/CeZrO x , the TEOA-modified materials exhibit (i) faster NO x adsorption rates during the initial cold-start relevant stage, (ii) a higher nitrate formation rate and a more suitable nitrate decomposition window (200–400 °C) in which the downstream selective catalytic reduction unit utilizing Cu-SSZ-13 SCR catalysts typically displays optimized NO x reduction efficiency, and (iii) enhanced hydrothermal stability with reduced MnO x agglomeration after aging. A combination of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques (XPS, UV–vis, DRIFTS, TEM/EDS) reveal that TEOA modulation promotes uniform MnO x dispersion, increases surface O ads species, and shifts MnO x speciation toward more active states. These structural and chemical modifications collectively account for the improved PNA performance. This work demonstrates a simple yet effective synthesis approach to optimize Mn-based PNAs, providing new insights into the design of thermally robust, precious-metal-free cold-start NO x control materials.

The hydrogen is described as a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels in numerous energy systems. Hydrolysis is an important method for high purity, high volume hydrogen production. In order to accelerate the kinetics of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media, it is essential to explore efficient catalysts. In this paper, the nanoscale self-supported Mn-NiS/Mn-Ni 3 S 4 composite catalysts was assembled on nickel foam. Benefiting from the lattice distortion and vacancy defects caused by the doping of Mn elements, the catalysts exposed an increasing number of electrochemical surfaces and effective active sites, showing impressive electrochemical performance with a HER overpotential of only 94.2 mV at 10 mA/cm 2 and an OER overpotential of only 253 mV to drive 50 mA/cm 2 . Applying as the bifunctional catalysts, the Mn-NiS/Mn-Ni 3 S 4 couple only achieved a low voltage of only 1.52 V to drive 10 mA/cm 2 . This paper provides new ideas and references for the rational design of high-performance sulfide catalysts with non-precious metal composites.

In this research, xylene was utilized as a simulated gas, γ-Al 2 O 3 pellets were selected as catalyst carriers, and FeO x , MnO x , CeO x , and CuO x were used as active components to analyze the synergistic treatment of VOCs–O 3 by low-temperature plasma combined with supported catalysts. Different metal oxides and other factors influence the synergistic treatment of VOCs–O 3 . The results showed that the catalytic effect of Fe–Mn/γ-Al 2 O 3 prepared by the equivalent volumes of consecutive impregnation method was better than that of Fe–Mn/γ-Al 2 O 3 prepared by co-impregnation method. When combined with low temperature plasma technology, high-energy electron collision reaction and oxidation reaction between free radicals occurs, which played a synergistic role in the degradation of VOCs–O 3 . The total removal rate of xylene was 94.88%, and the depletion rate of ozone was 84.1%.

The most crucial part of electrolyzing water lies in the design and preparation of the catalyst. Manganese-doped metal phosphides are often studied as catalysts for water electrolysis due to their outstanding dual-function properties. In this paper, a two-step method of in-situ hydrolysis and low-temperature phosphating is provided to prepare manganese-doped tri-metallic nickel-cobalt-based phosphides ((Mn)CoP 2 /NiCoPs) ultrafine nanoparticles. It is found that the addition of manganese led to a reduction in the unit cell size of NiCoP and CoP 2 in the catalyst. As the amount of manganese element in the raw materials increases, the doping amount of manganese in the catalyst shows an upward trend. In 1 M KOH, (Mn)CoP 2 /NiCoP-2 with the manganese doping content of 0.35 wt% shows the overpotentials of 52 mV for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and 141 mV for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to achieve 10 mA cm −2 . For total hydrolysis reaction, it requires an overpotential of only 1.50 V in 1 M KOH and 1.48 V in simulated seawater environment. Compared with pure Co 2 P/NiCoP, the catalytic activity of (Mn)CoP 2 /NiCoP-2 is higher. This can be attributed to the doping of manganese, which reduces the oxygen content and particle size of the catalyst, and also optimizes its electronic structure.

The depolymerization of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has predominantly focused on zinc-based catalysts, benefiting from their stable Lewis acidity derived from unique 3d orbital electronic configurations. In contrast, manganese-based catalytic materials, which share similar electronic structural features, have rarely been explored. This study developed a synergistic catalytic system using commercially available, low-cost homogeneous MnCl₂·4H₂O and heterogeneous Mn₂O₃ for the methanolysis of PET which achieved complete PET conversion within 1 hour at 180°C with a dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) yield of 95.35%. Compared with other catalytic systems for PET depolymerization, the present system uniquely integrates the capability of homogeneous Mn²⁺ ions to rapidly activate methanol and swell PET with the structural stability and ease of recovery inherent to the heterogeneous Mn₂O₃ oxide. Through systematic in-situ and ex-situ characterizations (XRD, XPS, in-situ DRIFTS, etc.), it was revealed that the essence of the synergistic effect originates from a dynamic composite active center formed at the interface between Mn²⁺ and Mn₂O₃, which efficiently stabilizes key reaction intermediates and promotes product desorption. Aspen Plus process simulation and economic analysis further validate its industrial potential: although the synergistic system introduces an additional step for homogeneous catalyst recovery, its superior product yield and lower activation energy grant it significant economic advantages and industrial potential. In summary, this work establishes a novel homo-heterogeneous catalytic system, offering a strategic approach to develop efficient and scalable solutions for polyester degradation.
