The sluggish kinetics and high cost of the noble-metal based electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) still seriously limits the efficiencies of water splitting. Herein, for the first time, we rationally design a porous hierarchical nanoarchitecture, constructed by ultrathin CoSe 2 embedded Fe-CoO nanosheets (CoSe 2 @Fe-CoO), which is synthesized via self-assembly hydrolysis driven in-situ synergetic selenization of Fe/Co/O/Se precursor followed by Ostwald ripening. As an OER catalyst, the porous CoSe 2 @Fe-CoO hybrid with abundant CoOOH electroactive sites delivers a small Tafel of 56.2 mV/dec with very low onset overpotential of 280 mV@10 mA/cm 2 and excellent long-term physicochemical stability till 62 h without obvious decay, which outperforms well-established benchmark electrocatalysts (RuO 2 ). The boosted OER performance of CoSe 2 @Fe-CoO nanosheets is mainly attributed to its iron-doping effect, porous nanoarchitecture, and multicomponent synergetic/interfacial effect between ultrathin cobalt (II) oxide and conductive cobalt selenide (CoSe 2 ) nanoframework. This work presents a facile construction strategy to find a nonprecious hybrid OER electrocatalyst with excellent performance and long-term stability.

Layered sodium iron manganese oxide cathodes have attracted great interest owing to their high specific capacity and cost-effective metal resources, while the detrimental phase transitions and surface structural degradation severely limit their commercial applications. In this work, the bulk and surface structure stability of a P 2-Na 0.67 Fe 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 2 cathode can be synergically enhanced by a one-step Li/Nb co-doping strategy. Structural characterizations reveal that Li doping promotes the formation of P 2/O3 biphasic structure and makes the unfavorable P 2-OP4 phase transition convert into a smooth solid-solution reaction. Nb doping enhances the mobility of sodium ions and forms strong Nb-O bonds, thereby enhancing the stability of the TMO 2 layer structure. In particular, the Nb element induces the surface reorganization of an atomic-scale NaNbO 3 coating layer, which could effectively prevent the dissolution of metals and surface side reactions. The synergistic mechanism of enhanced electrochemical performance is proved by multiple characterizations during cycling. As a result, the as-prepared Na 0.67 Li 0.1 Fe 0.5 Mn 0.38 Nb 0.02 O 2 exhibits improved capacity retention of 85.4 % than raw material (45.7 %) after 100 cycles at 0.5C (1C = 174 mA g −1 ) within 2.0–4.0 V. This co-regulating strategy provides a promising approach to designing highly stable sodium-ion battery cathodes. Furthermore, a full cell of Na 0.67 Li 0.1 Fe 0.5 Mn 0.38 Nb 0.02 O 2 with hard carbon displays excellent cycling stability (85.1 % capacity retention after 100 cycles), making its commercial operation possible. This synergistic strategy of biphasic structure and surface reorganization is a critical route to accelerate the application of layer oxide cathodes.

Non-noble-metal catalysts are the key point for the development of water splitting to produce hydrogen, a process which can be used to overcome the energy crisis. In this paper, we investigated water splitting in alkaline environments using skutterudite-type cobalt phosphide (CoP 3 ) nanoneedle arrays fabricated on carbon cloth. A moderate amount of iron is doped into pristine CoP 3 , and the resulting Co 1− x Fe x P 3 shows a significant enhancement for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) compared with the pristine CoP 3 . Co 0.7 Fe 0.3 P 3 displays the best HER performance, with an overpotential of 167 mV vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) to reach a current density of 10 mA cm −2 ( η 10 ) and a Tafel slope of 65.1 mV dec −1 . Co 0.7 Fe 0.3 P 3 also shows the best OER catalytic performance, reaching a current density of 50 mA cm −2 ( η 50 ) at an overpotential of 330 mV vs. RHE. Our results indicate that simple second metal element doping is an effective way to improve the HER and OER performance of skutterudite-type electrocatalysts in alkaline media.

The new (0.96- x )(K 0.48 Na 0.52 Nb 0.96 Sb 0.04 )O 3 -0.04(Bi 0.5 Ag 0.5 )ZrO 3 - x (Fe 2 O 3 -In 2 O 3 ) ceramics with high dielectric, and electromechanical coupling properties were designed. In this work, the effect of KNN-based ceramics lattice distortion (c/a) and microstructure on the electrical properties was explored by varying the doping amount of Fe 3+ and In 3+ . The problem of a large number of oxygen vacancies generated by the volatilization of K and Na can be well solved by introducing Fe 3+ and In 3+ . The bulk density increases significantly and the maximum value is about 4.52 g/cm 3 .The sample with x = 0.003 has the smallest c/a, and exhibits the best piezoelectric and dielectric properties ( d 33 = 536 pC/N, ε r = 3432 and k p = 55.8 %). Low doping concentration of Fe 2 O 3 is considered a “soft” addition for KNN-based piezoelectric ceramics. The study of this mechanism provides a new idea to regulate the electrical performance of KNN-based ceramics.

Iron-nitrogen-carbon graphitic (Fe-N-C), a noble metal-free catalyst holds a lot of promise to substitute platinum (Pt) as an efficient catalyst in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the synthesis process and the stabilization of single atoms that tend to aggregate, without jeopardizing the catalytic activity remain challenging. Here we demonstrate a stabilized assisted method for the preparation of Fe-N-C electrocatalyst by using graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheet as a template. Fe ions are absorbed on the surface of g-C3N4 and imprisoned after the addition of pyrrole, preventing Fe migration that may result in nanoparticles. During the pyrolysis, Fe atoms coordinated with N provided by g-C3N4 and pyrrole on graphitic carbon to form Fe-N-C with a metal loading of 5.4 wt%. Moreover, FeNx species were introduced in the graphitic carbon, where the coexistence of micro and mesopores were favorable to offer a larger density of active sites compared to Fe/NP without pyrrole. Fe-N-C demonstrated a good electrocatalytic performance with a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.82 V (vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)) higher than Fe/NP (0.76 V) and close to Pt/C, with a superior long stability of 85% in alkaline media after 40000 s.

For the first time, the dechlorination of 2,6-dichlorophenol (2,6-DCP) by carbon nanotubes supported Fe/Ni nanoparticles (CNTs-Fe/Ni) was studied to explore the practicability of environmental remediation. Removal capacity of CNTs-Fe/Ni for 2,6-DCP was enhanced obviously compared to Fe/Ni due to reduced aggregation of Fe/Ni nanoparticles .The removal efficiency increased as the increase of CNTs-Fe/Ni dosage and Ni loading, whereas it decreased as the increase of 2,6-DCP concentration. Weak acidic condition was considered to be advantageous to 2,6-DCP dechlorination. The dechlorination kinetics results suggested that the 2,6-DCP removal by CNTs-Fe/Ni accorded with pseudo-first-order equation. Moreover, carbon nanotubes as support accelerated the mass transfer of 2,6-DCP from solution to catalyst surface and promoted the formation of atomic hydrogen, which also led to an enhancement of reactivity of CNTs-Fe/Ni on removing 2,6-DCP.

The current study investigates a nano-Fe/Ce oxygen carriers (OCs) doped with Ni synthesized by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) method for the chemical looping dry reforming of methane (CL-DRM). The thermodynamic analysis and reaction simulation of the CL-DRM process with iron-based oxygen carriers are first carried out. The result shows that when reacting with CH 4 , Fe 2 O 3 is reduced to Fe 3 O 4 at first, accompanied by generation of H 2 O and CO 2 , and then to Fe with H 2 and CO production. Fe can be oxidized to Fe 3 O 4 and FeO by CO 2 . Subsequently, based on the reaction patterns obtained from the aforementioned analysis, CL-DRM experiment using Ni-doped Fe/Ce oxygen carriers is conducted in a fixed-bed reactor, and the effects of different Ni doping and reaction conditions on the performance of the oxygen carriers are investigated. The OC with a Ni/Fe molar ratio of 2/98 (2NiFe) achieves over 30% CH 4 conversion and 90% CO selectivity in the partial oxidation step and stable cyclic performance. The FSP process facilitates high dispersion of Ni and formation of NiCe and NiFe alloys, which are stable active sites. Moreover, the transformation of Fe oxides and CeO 2 into CeFeO 3 on the surface of the OC has enhanced lattice oxygen availability and further improved cyclic stability.

Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in the occurrence and development of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and precise detection of them holds significant clinical implications. The development of luminol-based luminophores in the field of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) for miRNA detection has been significant, while their effectiveness is hindered by the instability of co-reactant hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). In this work, an iron single-atom catalyst (Fe-PNC) was employed for catalyzing the luminol-O 2 ECL system to achieve ultra-sensitive detection of myocardial miRNA. Target miRNA triggers a hybridization chain reaction (HCR), resulting in the generation of a DNA product featuring multiple sticky ends that facilitate the attachment of Fe-PNC probes to the electrode surface. The Fe-PNC catalyst exhibits high promise and efficiency for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in electrochemical energy conversion systems. The resulting ECL biosensor allowed ultrasensitive detection of myocardial miRNA with a low detection limit of 0.42 fM and a wide linear range from 1 fM to 1.0 nM. Additionally, it demonstrates exceptional performance when evaluated using serum samples collected from patients with AMI. This work expands the application of single-atom catalysis in ECL sensing and introduces novel perspectives for utilizing ECL in disease diagnosis.

The catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived phenolic compounds is a critical step in the upgrading of bio-oil. Here, bimetallic Ni-Fe nanoparticles supported on mesoporous carbon spheres (MCSs) were fabricated and applied in HDO of phenol. In comparison with monometallic Ni and Fe catalysts, the bimetallic Ni-Fe catalyst exhibited better performance for phenol HDO due to the formation of Ni-Fe alloy phase identified by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Mössbauer spectroscopy techniques. Among several explored ratios, the catalysts with Ni/Fe ratio of 3/1 presented the highest cyclohexane yield. The reaction occurred in two consecutive steps: the hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanol and the further hydrogenolysis of cyclohexanol to cyclohexane. Kinetic studies showed that the hydrogenolysis of cyclohexanol controlled the overall reaction rate of phenol HDO due to the lower reaction rate of this step. Indeed, the turnover frequency (TOF) values of cyclohexanol normalized by surface metallic Ni sites exhibited a linear correlation with Ni-Fe alloy sites. The alloying of iron in the bimetallic Ni-Fe catalysts significantly enhanced the adsorption strength of cyclohexanol, which is the reason of the high activity of the Ni-Fe alloy particles. Thus, Fe-containing sites adsorb the hydroxyl species while Ni sites perform the H 2 activation, their synergistic effect plays a key role in phenol HDO process.

A novel ferric chloride immobilized poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) catalyst was developed via a coordination chemistry-based approach. The pyridine moiety of poly(4-vinylpyridine) spheres functioned as the nitrogen donor to bind iron ions, as well as to decrease the amount of pyridine used in the catalytic reaction system. The monodispersed catalyst was well dispersed in the organic solvent during the catalytic procedure, taking advantage of its nanomorphology and uniform size. The catalytic activity of various monodispersed catalysts based different mass fractions of the divinylbenzene (DVB) was investigated, meanwhile the capacities of supported Fe(III) in the various catalysts were also discussed. The P4VPDVB 10% -Fe(III) catalyst exhibited high catalytic activity in the benzylic oxidation of benzylic methylenes and secondary benzylic alcohols. It was easily separated from the reaction system and reused several times without obvious degradation of catalytic activity. Moreover, leaching tests suggested that the as-synthesized P4VPDVB 10% -Fe(III) catalyst was a true heterogeneous catalyst without significant metal leaching.

Recent research on the oxygen reduction reaction in has mainly focused on the design and synthesis of non-noble metal catalysts to overcome the cost limitations of precious metals that have a high catalytic activity. The catalytic activity of non-noble metal catalysts has been greatly improved over a large number of studies in the field, but there is still no obvious advantage over precious metal catalysts. In this work, an electrocatalyst with high limiting current density for the oxygen reduction reaction was successfully prepared by codoping a tungsten carbide matrix with Fe and N. The performance of the catalyst was characterized by various physical and electrochemical techniques. The limiting current density in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) can reach 6.644 mA cm −2 , and the catalyst also has good half-wave and onset potentials. In addition to the excellent stability and methanol tolerance of the cathode process under alkaline conditions, the catalyst also exhibited the four-electron transfer mechanism as well as good ORR kinetics, and the yield of H 2 O 2 was close to 0. This catalyst with its excellent properties is of significance in guiding research on non-noble metal catalysts with comparable performance to traditional noble metal catalysts.

Developing and preparation of stable and efficient non-noble metal electrocatalysts is vital for overall water splitting. Herein, a series of Fe-doped Ni 0.85 Se (Fe x Ni 0.85-x Se, x = 0.02, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) catalysts are synthesized successfully by one-step hydrothermal method and studied as high active bifunctional catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in electrolysis water splitting. The results indicates that a suitable doping can make different metal ions have a synergistic effect and improve catalytic performance. The optimal Fe 0.08 Ni 0.77 Se sample shows excellent OER and HER activities. Subsequently, the introduction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) forming Fe 0.08 Ni 0.77 Se/CNT composite further enhances the electrocatalytic activity due to high electric conductivity of carbon nanotubes network. The resulted Fe 0.08 Ni 0.77 Se/CNT 3 composite exhibits smaller overpotential of 204 mV and 108 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 and a low Tafel slope of 58 mV dec −1 and 59 mV dec −1 than that of other composites for OER and HER, respectively. The results demonstrate that Fe 0.08 Ni 0.77 Se/CNT 3 is an excellent bifunctional catalyst, providing a promising candidate for electrocatalytic water splitting .
