Photocatalysis exhibits great potential for applications in solving energy and environmental problems, and has received widespread attention. This article constructs a new type of Mn-Fe Prussian blue analogues S-scheme mechanism photocatalytic material. The material is composed of oxidized photocatalysts (Ag 2 MoO 4 ) and reduced photocatalysts (Mn-Fe PBAs). The composite photocatalyst constructed in this way shows advantages such as a wide spectral response range, high charge carrier separation efficiency, and strong oxidation–reduction ability, which can significantly enhance photocatalytic efficiency. By studying the construction method and CO 2 reduction performance of the photocatalyst, the structure-performance relationship can be clarified. The CO production rate is 43.3 μmol/g/h, and the selectivity can reach 94.9 %, which is far superior to the current mainstream photocatalytic system. The electron transfer kinetics and S-scheme charge separation mechanism between the Mn-Fe PBAs and Ag 2 MoO 4 interfaces are explained by steady-state surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SS-SPS) and near ambient pressure XPS (NAP-XPS). In-situ DRIFTS techniques are used to monitor the changes of transition intermediates, and combined with theoretical calculations, the activation mechanism of CO 2 by the Mn-Fe catalytic site is deeply revealed at the atomic level. This study provides new theoretical guidance and profound insights for the construction of Prussian blue analogues photocatalysts.

Regulating the electronic structure and oxygen-containing intermediates adsorption behavior on Fe-based catalysts is of great significance to cope with the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics, but it still remains a great challenge. In this work, Fe atom clusters (Fe AC ) modified by high-density Cu single atoms (Cu SA ) in a N,S-doped porous carbon substrate (Fe AC /Cu SA @NCS) is reported for enhanced ORR electrocatalysis. Fe AC /Cu SA @NCS exhibits excellent ORR performance with a half-wave potential ( E 1/2 ) of 0.911 V, a high four-electron process selectivity and excellent stability. The ORR performance is also verified in the Fe AC /Cu SA @NCS-based Zn-air battery, which shows a high peak power density of 192.67 mW cm −2 , a higher specific capacity of 808.3 mAh g −1 and impressive charge–discharge cycle stability. Moreover, density functional theory calculations show that Cu single atoms synergistically modulate the electronic structure Fe active atoms in Fe atomic clusters, reducing the energy barrier of the rate-determining step (i.e., * OH desorption) on Fe AC /Cu SA @NCS. This work provides an effective way to regulate the electronic structure of Fe-based catalysts and optimize their electrocatalytic activity based on the introduction of a second metal source.

In recent years, the rapid economic development has significantly altered industrial production and human lifestyle, resulting in the exacerbation of water pollution. Consequently, photocatalytic technology has received considerable attention as an environmentally friendly and efficient approach for wastewater treatment. In this paper, WO 3 /SiO 2 /SnO 2 composite films were prepared by sol-gel method and subsequently co-doped with Ce, Fe and Ag ions. The photocatalytic performances of these modified composite films toward degradation of methyl green (MG) and tetracycline (TC) were systematically evaluated under UV and visible light irradiation. Comprehensive characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Nitrogen adsorption desorption isotherm test, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectrascopy, were employed to investigate the crystalline phase, morphology, particle size, chemical composition, specific surface area and optical properties of the prepared composite films. The PL spectral analysis revealed that the co-doping of Ce, Fe and Ag significantly enhanced the separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carrier in the WO 3 /SiO 2 /SnO 2 composite films. Radical trapping experiments demonstrated that superoxide radicals (·O 2 - ) and hydoxyl radicals (·OH) played predominant roles in the photocatalytic degradation process. Notably, the prepared photocatalyst maintained stable performance through five consecutive recycling tests, demonstrating excellent reusability. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the WO 3 /SiO 2 /SnO 2 -Ce/Fe/Ag composite films can be attributed to the impactful suppression of electron-hole recombination through the strategic incorporation of dopant ions.

Fenton-like degradation based on iron catalyst have been developed to remove organic pollutants from wastewater. However, iron-based catalysts still face challenges of poor accessibility and stability of active sites. Here, we report a facile and green method for the preparation of Fe x Cu (1-x) @HZSM-5 catalyst using ethylenediamine as an organic ligand to stabilize metal species via a combination of solid-state grinding and steam-assisted crystallization methods without organic templates. Due to the confinement of zeolite ZSM-5 framework and synergistic effect of Fe and Cu bimetals, the optimized Fe 0.8 Cu 0.2 @HZSM-5 catalyst exhibits excellent activity and reusability in the Fenton-like degradation of methylene blue at the neutral condition. Our strategy for fabricating bimetal@zeolite can bring about new thoughts for the preparation of iron-based catalyst with high efficiency for Fenton-like degradation.

The advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) employing bimetallic catalysts for peroxodisulfate (PDS) activation has attracted considerable attention. A novel composite, polyethylene mulch-sorghum straw biochar (Fe-Mo 0.1 /N-PSC), was synthesized via hydrothermal activation, co-impregnation, and high-temperature pyrolysis to enhance catalytic efficiency and facilitate agricultural solid waste valorization. In the Fe-Mo 0.1 /N-PSC/PDS system, this composite efficiently activated PDS, achieving 91.86 % tetracycline (TC) removal within 3 minutes, with a pseudo-first-order rate constant of 0.1426 min⁻¹ , surpassing comparable catalytic systems. The influences of PDS concentration, catalyst dosage, pH, and temperature on TC degradation were systematically investigated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that the reactive Mo 4 + promoted the cycle of Fe²⁺/Fe³ ⁺, accelerating reaction kinetics. Quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance analyses confirmed the generation of radicals (•OH, SO₄•⁻, O₂•⁻), which actively contributed to TC degradation. Additionally, the persistent free radicals derived from PE during hydrothermal activation further enhanced degradation efficiency. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry identified degradation intermediates, elucidating possible pathways and proving the toxicity of intermediates greatly reduced. The system exhibited excellent stability, maintaining over 75 % degradation efficiency after five cycles with minimal metal leaching, offering valuable insights for practical applications. This study highlights Fe-Mo 0.1 /N-PSC as an effective PDS catalyst and a sustainable strategy for agricultural waste reutilization.

In this study, insoluble CaSO3was applied to replace soluble sulfite/bisulfite salt in the Fe(II)-activated sulfite/bisulfite [S(IV)] process for the efficient 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) degradation. CaSO3serves as a low-cost and slow-release source of S(IV), significantly improving S(IV) utilization compared to conventional soluble Na2SO3. The Fe(II)/CaSO3system generated SO4•−and HO•through Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox cycling. Mechanistic studies confirmed SO4•−as the dominant reactive species, selectively attacking C-Br bonds and hydroxyl groups in TBP. Process optimization revealed effective performance under acidic conditions (pH 3.5–4.0) with minimal inhibition by common anions (Cl−, HCO3−). The reactive sites of TBP were identified through Fukui function calculations, and the degradation pathway was elucidated based on LC-MS analysis. Toxicity evaluation indicated reduced ecological risk of degradation intermediates due to debromination and benzene ring cleavage. This work provides a sustainable strategy for efficient TBP removal and detoxification in wastewater treatment with benefiting S(IV) utilization.

Remediating cadmium (Cd) contamination in aquatic and terrestrial environments has become an urgent environmental priority. Biochar has been widely employed for heavy metal removal due to its wide availability, strong adsorption capacity, and potential for recycling agricultural waste. In this study, samples of alkali–Fe-modified biochar (Fe@NaOH-SBC, Fe@NaOH-HBC, and Fe@NaOH-MBC) were prepared from agricultural wastes (ginger straw, Sichuan pepper branches, and kiwi leaves) through NaOH and FeCl3·6H2O modification. A comprehensive characterization confirmed that the alkali–Fe-modified biochar exhibits a higher specific surface area, richer functional groups, and successful incorporation of the iron oxides Fe3O4and α-FeOOH. The fitting parameter qmax from the Langmuir model indicates that the alkali–Fe modification of carbon significantly enhanced its maximum capacity for Cd2+adsorption. Furthermore, a synergistic effect was observed between iron oxide loading and alkali modification, outperforming alkali modification alone. Furthermore, a 30-day soil incubation experiment revealed that the application of alkali–Fe-modified biochar significantly increased soil pH, SOM, and CEC while reducing the available cadmium content by 13.34–33.94%. The treatment also facilitated the transformation of highly bioavailable cadmium species into more stable, less bioavailable forms, thereby mitigating their potential entry into the food chain and the associated human health risks. Moreover, short-term spinach seed germination experiments confirmed that treatments with varying additions of alkali–Fe-modified biochar mitigated the inhibition of seed physiological processes by high concentrations of available cadmium to varying degrees. Overall, this study provides a sustainable and effective strategy for utilizing agricultural waste in the remediation of cadmium-contaminated water and soil systems.

en Transition metal-based amorphous/crystalline (a/c) heterostructured catalysts have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional activity, stability, and cost-effectiveness. However, the precise synergistic regulation of interfacial composition and phase states remains challenging. Herein, we propose an innovative strategy for the controllable synthesis of a/c heterostructures using MIL-100(Mn) template. By leveraging the intrinsic coordination disparity between Ni 2+ and Fe 3+ to drive phase separation, combined with F − mediated ion exchange-phosphidation synergy, we successfully constructed an amorphous FeP x /crystalline Ni 2 P heterostructure (a-(F, Fe)P x /Ni 2 P) with precise compositional control. Systematic investigations reveal that F − not only enhances metal ion exchange through complex stabilization but also induces amorphous/crystalline phase separation via electronic modulation. Meanwhile, a deep reconstruction process occurs under high voltage, transforming the catalyst into active F-Fe/NiOOH species, which further enhances the catalytic activity and durability. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of heterointerface electronic coupling and deep reconstruction, the as-prepared a-(F, Fe)P x /Ni 2 P catalyst exhibits exceptional oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance in 1 M KOH, delivering an ultralow overpotential of 278 mV at 30 mA cm −2 and maintaining excellent stability over 100 h with negligible degradation. This work establishes a novel “coordination difference-driven, fluorine-mediated” interface engineering strategy, offering valuable insights for the rational design of high-performance heterostructured electrocatalysts. 摘要 zh 基于过渡金属的非晶/晶体异质结构催化剂因其卓越的活性、稳定性和成本效益而备受关注。然而,对其界面组成与相态的精确协同调控仍面临挑战。在此,我们提出了一种利用MIL-100(Mn)模板可控合成非晶/晶体异质结构的新颖策略。通过利用Ni 2+ 与Fe 3+ 之间的本征配位差异驱动相分离,并结合F − 介导的离子交换-磷化协同作用,我们成功构建了具有精确组分调控的非晶FeP x /晶体Ni 2 P异质结构(标记为a-(F, Fe) P x /Ni 2 P)。系统研究表明,F − 不仅通过络合稳定作用增强了金属离子交换效率,还通过电子调控诱导了非晶/晶体相分离。同时,催化剂在高电位下发生深度重构过程,转变为活性的F-Fe/NiOOH物种,从而进一步增强了催化活性与耐久性。受益于异质界面电子耦合与深度重构的协同效应,所制备的a-(F, Fe)P x /Ni 2 P催化剂在1 M KOH电解液中表现出优异的析氧反应性能,在30 mA cm −2 电流密度下仅需278 mV的极低过电位,并能稳定运行超过100 h而无明显衰减。本研究确立了一种全新的“配位差异驱动、氟离子介导”的界面工程策略,为合理设计高性能异质结构电催化剂提供了有价值的见解。

Innovative engineering biochar from waste biomass is of huge interest for organic wastewater cleanup. This study introduced lignosulfonate (LS) derived Fe-doped biochar (Fe/LSB), which is prepared by the solvent-free method that integrating the ball-milling treatment with one-pot pyrolysis process, as the Fenton-like catalyst for tetracycline (TC) degradation. Various characterization revealed its porous structure, large surface area, and rich active sites. Degradation test confirmed that Fe/LSB achieves preferable efficiency for TC removal by peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Mechanistic analysis identified a synergistic process involving 1 O 2 (mainly), SO 4 •– and •OH, which drove the effective TC degradation. Meanwhile, new degradation pathway in Fe/LSB/PMS system was proposed and the toxicity assessments revealed an obvious decline in toxicity of intermediate products. Furthermore, Fe/LSB/PMS system also achieved the excellent removal efficiency of TC during a continuous 6-day reaction process. This work transforms LS into Fe-based biochar catalyst, boosting sustainable development and providing a reliable way for TC removal, strengthening low-impact Fenton-like technology.

Rational design of low-cost, highly-efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER) is critical to enable sustainable hydrogen production via water electrolysis. Herein, a novel nanorod arrays catalyst, Fe-NiMoN, has been rationally designed and directly grown on nickel foam (NF) via a facile hydrothermal method followed by a nitridation treatment. The novel 3D porous nanorod architecture is favorable for providing abundant active sites, accelerating mass diffusion/electron transfer, and facilitating gas release. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) simulations reveal that Fe doping shifts the d-band center of NiMoN away from the Fermi level compared to the undoped NiMoN, thereby reducing the hydrogen adsorption free energy (ΔGH*) toward 0, and which in turn enhances the HER activity. Consequently, the Fe-NiMoN catalyst delivers exceptional bifunctional electrocatalytic activity in alkaline media, requiring low overpotentials of 17 mV (HER) and 238 mV (OER) to achieve 10 mA cm–2. Notably, the Fe-NiMoN catalyst assembled into a two-electrode alkaline electrolyzer, requires only a voltage of 1.504 to achieve a current density value of 10 mA cm−2, with no performance declining after 100 h of steady operation. Moreover, for urea-assisted electrolysis, it can deliver 10 mA cm−2 at only 1.367 V. Overall, this work provides a strategy for synthesizing desirable electrocatalysts for green hydrogen production coupled with wastewater treatment.

Li5FeO4 (LFO) is a leading candidate for cathode prelithiation due to its ability to engage in both anionic and cationic redox processes, offering substantial capacity potential. However, the practical implementation of LFO is hampered by incomplete delithiation and susceptibility to air-induced degradation, which together constrain its effectiveness in lithium compensation. In this study, we propose a lattice modulation strategy that incorporates cobalt substitution at the iron sites of LFO, resulting in the novel compound Li5.5Fe0.5Co0.5O4 (LFCO), which enhances both the anionic redox activity and the air stability of the material. We demonstrate that the incorporation of Co2+ ions facilitates the reversible oxidation of lattice oxygen species from O2– to intermediate O2n– and ultimately to O2, thereby augmenting the overall redox capacity. LFCO exhibits superior electrochemical performance with specific capacities of 860.1 mAh g–1 at 0.1C and 580.0 mAh g–1 at 1C, compared to 681.5 and 351.8 mAh g–1 for LFO. Furthermore, LFCO maintains a high capacity of 520.8 mAh g–1 after exposure to 20% relative humidity for 4 days. Integration of LFCO into graphite∥NCM811 pouch cells results in 89.6% capacity retention at 0.5C over 200 cycles, underscoring the potential of this material in developing next-generation energy-dense lithium-ion batteries.

The photocatalytic removal of organic pollutants from wastewater has gained significant attention in recent years due to its environmental benefits and cost-effectiveness. In this study, a pyrolytic iron phthalocyanine/graphitic carbon nitride (FePc/g-C 3 N 4 ) composite photocatalyst was synthesized using ball milling and thermal cracking, and its performance in photocatalytic degradation along with the underlying mechanisms was investigated. Under solar light irradiation, the pyrolytic FePc/g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst achieved complete carbamazepine (CBZ) degradation within 12 min by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS), demonstrating a 29 % enhancement in degradation efficiency compared to the unpyrolytic FePc/g-C 3 N 4 . Additionally, the stability of the catalyst improved significantly post-pyrolysis, maintaining over 98 % degradation efficiency across nine cycles. The thermal treatment disrupted the phthalocyanine structure, modifying the coordination environment of the central Fe atom and facilitating the transfer of photogenerated charge carriers. This research provides valuable insights for designing stable single-atom iron-based composite photocatalysts.
