Iron-based catalysts as peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator are commonly used to oxidize and degrade azo dye. However, there are still some issues such as low catalytic performance, relatively less reactive oxygen species and high metal iron dissolution. As such, a novel iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOHs) with four crystal form was synthesized and employed as efficient PMS activator for AO7 degradation in this study. It was found that the crystal form of catalyst had significant influence on its catalytic performance. β -FeOOH exhibited the best catalytic performance, owing to its smallest lattice size, maximum specific surface area and highest surface hydroxyl density. β -FeOOH/PMS system possessed a great high apparent reaction rate constant (1.3919 h −1 ), which was about 17, 3, 31, 20, 14, 49 and 23 times higher than that in β -FeOOH/persulfate(PS), Fe 0 /PMS, Fe 0 /PS, Fe 2 O 3 /PMS, Fe 2 O 3 /PS, Fe 3 O 4 /PMS and Fe 3 O 4 /PS system, respectively. More importantly, radical quenching tests and Electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis revealed that OH . , SO 4 .− , O 2 .− and 1 O 2 were involved in the reaction process. The catalytic mechanism proposed that β -FeOOH had the effective electron transfer rate performance, and Fe 3+ underwent a reduction to Fe 2+ during the β -FeOOH/PMS catalytic oxidation process. Then, the regeneration of Fe 2+ on the hydroxylated surface of FeOOH promoted the formation of FeOH + , which was crucial for PMS activation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. The recyclability tests proved good stability and reusability of β -FeOOH. This study provides a kind of new understanding of peroxymonosulfate activation for environmental remediation and advances the study of iron-based oxyhydroxide in heterogeneous catalysis.

In order to deal with the environmental pollution caused by complex oily wastewater, it is necessary to develop filtration membrane materials. However, significant challenges such as poor effect of emulsion separation, limited functionality, and susceptibility to membrane fouling require urgent resolution. Here, we successfully prepared a β-hydroxyl iron oxide/polydopamine-polyethylenimine/polyacrylonitrile (β-FeOOH/PDA-PEI/PAN) nanofiber membrane for treatment of complex wastewater by growing PDA-PEI on a blow-spinning PAN nanofiber membrane and decorating the membrane with β-FeOOH. The porous structure and the large number of hydrophilic groups greatly increase the hydrophilicity of the membrane and give the membrane high permeation fluxes (11531.26 L m −2 h −1 ) for surfactant-free kerosene-in-water emulsion. The loaded β-FeOOH nanorods increase the roughness of the membrane surface, which enhances the underwater superoleophobic ability of the membrane, and promotes the demulsification of the emulsion and makes it have high separation efficiency of 99.48 % for surfactant-stabilized kerosene-in-water emulsion. In addition, the β-FeOOH/PDA-PEI/PAN also exhibited high organic dye removal efficiency (99.38 %) due to the presence of β-FeOOH. The synergistic effect of low oil adhesion and photocatalysis enhances the antifouling and self-cleaning performances of the material. Significantly, the multifunctional membrane also shows exceptional oil/water separation ability and good stability. The presented synergistic strategy of β-FeOOH/PDA-PEI/PAN membrane materials represents a prospective candidate for the treatment of complex wastewater.

Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) microporous membranes have garnered extensive research enthusiasm concerning their outstanding permeation performance and separation accuracy in treating oily wastewater. Nevertheless, the inherent hydrophobic chemical structure, along with the noticeable concentration polarization effect, predisposes them to severe membrane contamination during the separation process. Accordingly, it is desirable to design a PPS self-cleaning membrane with superior anti-fouling capability, fast transport, and remarkable flux recovery. This study marks the first combination of PPS membrane materials with the photo-Fenton process. In detail, the polyphenol (tannic acid, TA)-polycation (polyethyleneimine, PEI)-metal ion (Fe 3+ ) double cross-linking coatings were first assembled on the PPS substrate surface. Subsequently, β-FeOOH photocatalysts were synthesized through in-situ mineralization to further strengthen the hydrophilicity of the membranes. The obtained PPS/TA-PEI/β-FeOOH composite membrane achieved exceptional separation of diverse oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. The PPS/TA-PEI/β-FeOOH membranes exhibited in-air superhydrophilic and under-water superoleophobicity, exhibiting under-water oil contact angles greater than 151° for diverse oil agents. The fabricated composite membranes displayed high permeability (a flux of the petroleum ether-in-water (P/W) emulsion reached 3400.5 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 driven by a pressure of 0.05 MPa) along with ideal oil rejection (98.6 %). Significantly, the PPS/TA-PEI/β-FeOOH membrane possessed powerful photo-Fenton self-cleaning capability, and its flux recoveries of the contaminated membrane exceeded 90.3 % for varied O/W emulsions after being cleaned by visible light for 10 min. We believe that our research presents a novel approach for the exploitation of PPS-based photo-Fenton self-cleaning membranes, which also exhibit great applicative potential in oily wastewater treatment.

The two-dimensional (2D) g-C 3 N 4 has a wide application prospect in photocatalysis field due to its larger surface reactions, wider absorption of light and faster charge separation. However, the lack of active site of reduction leads to its poor hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. In this work, the intermediate β-FeOOH was synthesized as a high-efficiency precious metal free co-catalyst in hydrogen production. Then, the g-C 3 N 4 -Fe 3 O 4 /β-FeOOH (CNFF-x,y, x = 1, 2 and 3, y denotes the reaction time (h)) photocatalyst based on p-n and Z-scheme heterojunction was constructed via a subsequent solvothermal process. The chemical composition, microtopography, crystallography, photochemical and electrochemical properties of the CNFF-x,y were analyzed by XRD, FI-IR, TEM, XPS and so on. The visible-light-driven (VLD) catalytic performance of CNFF-x,y heterojunction was evaluated by the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Results showed that CNFF-2,10 photocatalyst based on p-n (g-C 3 N 4 -Fe 3 O 4 ) and Z-scheme (Fe 3 O 4 /β-FeOOH) heterojunction presented the highest VLD catalytic HER activity (33.25 μmol g −1 h −1 ) at the absence of Pt co-catalyst after illumination for 6 h. It indicated that the effective introduction of Fe 3 O 4 /β-FeOOH nanoparticles (NPs) into g-C 3 N 4 to construct double-heterojunction (g-C 3 N 4 -Fe 3 O 4 /β-FeOOH) could greatly broaden the light response property and inhibit the recombination of photo-induced carriers, exhibiting enhanced HER activity. Meanwhile, this double-heterojunction photocatalyst presented robust photostability and reproducibility even been used several times. The findings of an intermediate β-FeOOH were put forward in this study will provide some new ideas for the research of HER.

Biopolymer-based hydrogels have received great attention in wastewater treatment due to their excellent properties, e.g. , high adsorption capacity, fast kinetics, reusability and ease of operation. In the present work, cellulose-chitosan/β-FeOOH composite hydrogels were prepared via co-dissolution and regeneration process as well as hydrothermal in situ synthesis of β-FeOOH. Effect of β-FeOOH loading on the properties of the composite hydrogels and the removal efficiency of methyl orange (MO) was investigated. Results showed that β-FeOOH was uniformly loaded onto the hydrogel framework, and the nanoporous structure of composite hydrogels could increase not only the effective contact area between β-FeOOH and the pollutants but also the active sites. Moreover, the increased β-FeOOH loading led to the enhanced MO removal rate under light conditions. When the loading time was extended from 6 h to 9 h, the MO removal rate increased by 21%, which can be mainly due to the photocatalytic degradation. In addition, MO removal rate reached 97.75% within 40 min under optimal conditions and attained 80.81% after five repetitions. The trapping experiment and EPR results indicated that the main active species were hydrogel radicals and holes. Consequently, this work provides an effective preparation approach for cellulose-chitosan/β-FeOOH composite hydrogel with high adsorption and photocatalytic degradation, which would hold great promise for wastewater treatment applications.

The remediation of wastewater contaminated with heavy metals remains a serious challenge due to the continuing threats posed to ecosystems and human health. While conventional methods such as membrane filtration and flocculation exist, developing sustainable adsorbents with high capacity and reusability is imperative. Therefore, we propose a novel strategy to overcome the limitations of natural polymer-based hydrogels by integrating β-FeOOH nanoparticles into sodium alginate matrices. FTIR, XPS and TG reveal that the incorporation of β-FeOOH not only increases the adsorption active sites but also improves the thermal stability of the composite hydrogels. The composite hydrogel exhibits exceptional adsorption capacity (581.40 mg/g). Crucially, the material maintains over 85 % of its initial efficiency after five adsorption-desorption cycles, demonstrating strong structural integrity and practical applicability. This work provides a mechanistic framework for designing multifunctional hydrogels through nanomaterial hybridization, offering a sustainable pathway for water purification technologies.

Developing an anti-fouling and multifunctional membrane with efficient separation performance is great potential for alleviating water crisis. Here, combining the heterogeneous β-FeOOH/Ag catalyst layer, intercepted GO nanosheets layer, and porous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) substrate, a multi-layer composite membrane (β-FeOOH@GO/AgNWs) was designed and fabricated by the polyphenol (TA)-metal (Fe 3 + ) crosslinking and inductive effect. Hence, the β-FeOOH@GO/AgNWs membrane possesses robust physical and chemical stability, superhydrophilicity (water contact angle ∼0°) and underwater superoleophobicity (underwater oil contact angle >150°). Due to the construction of heterojunctions of β-FeOOH/Ag, the β-FeOOH@GO/AgNWs membrane achieved the degradation of various dyes under the photo-Fenton system, the degradation rate constant is 0.0986 min −1 . Meanwhile, the synergistic effect of multi-layer structure can efficiently intercept the various soluble dyes by electrostatic effect, π-π action and layered channels, the reject rate recached above 97.89 % under the acidic and neutral environment. Faced the membrane fouling phenomenon during the separation process, the flux and rejection of fouled membrane recovered to above 95.1 % and 97.9 % after photo-Fenton cleaning for 10 min. Moreover, the β-FeOOH@GO/AgNWs membrane also realized efficient separation performance for various oil-in-water emulsions, the flux reached 329.2 ± 25–486.1 ± 15 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 , the corresponding separation efficient was above 99 %. Similarly, the photo-Fenton cleaning strategy also regenerated the fouled composite membrane, the flux recovery rate was above 95 %. Therefore, we think that β-FeOOH@GO/AgNWs membrane can bring a new thinking of developing the multifunctional membrane to achieve complex wastewater remediation.

The residues of sulfonamide antibiotics in the environment would pose a threat to aquatic ecosystem and human health. In this study, β-FeOOH@ZnO was synthesized by using a hydrothermal method to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of the typical sulfonamide antibiotic sulfadimethoxine (SDM), in which 98.89 % of SDM was removed in 60 min with activating 0.5 mM PMS. Moreover, the influence of catalyst dosage, PMS dosage, solution pH and anions on the degradation efficiency of SDM was investigated in the system. The results indicated that the material exhibited good applicability and β-FeOOH@ZnO performed well in a wide pH range (5–11). 1 O 2 was the major reactive oxygen species (ROS) rather than ˙ OH , S O 4 ˙ − and O 2 ˙ − through free radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance experiments (EPR). Furthermore, the mechanism was found that ZnO could enhance the electron transfer pathway of β-FeOOH, which accelerated the degradation of SDM. Possible intermediate products and degradation pathways were proposed through LC-MS analysis. In summary, this study offered a new strategy for the efficient degradation of sulfonamide antibiotics in water treatment.

Lately, frequent offshore oil spills and the limitations of traditional oil–water separation membranes in balancing selectivity and permeability have driven the development of innovative membrane technologies for the efficient treatment of oily wastewater. In this study, a durable and recyclable Acrylonitrile–Butadiene–Styrene (ABS) membrane was fabricated using 3D printing, subsequently sulfonated via radiation-induced grafting, and further modified with in situ mineralization to prepare β-FeOOH@ABS membrane. The β-FeOOH@ABS membrane exhibited excellent hydrophilicity and oleophobicity compared to bare hydrophobic ABS membrane, with a water contact angle of 16° and an underwater oil contact angle of 162°. Under gravity-driven conditions, the β-FeOOH@ABS membrane achieved a separation efficiency exceeding 99.78 % across five different oil–water mixtures, along with an exceptionally high flux of 2.93 × 10 5 L·m -2 ·h -1 , attributed to stable hydration layer formed via β-FeOOH nanorods. Combined 100 cycles durability tests and XDLVO theoretical analysis, it was found that the β-FeOOH@ABS membrane showed excellent long-term stability and anti-fouling performance with high flux recovery of 99.41 % and separation efficiency of 99.83 %, originating from its enhanced fouling resistance. The photocatalytic property of β-FeOOH nanorods also endowed the β-FeOOH@ABS membrane with superior catalytic performance. This work underscores the significant potential of novel β-FeOOH@ABS membranes for advanced oil–water separation applications.

Photocatalytic removal of organic pollutants under solar irradiation at room temperature is considered an energy-saving technique of environmental remediation. However, photocatalysis is impeded by the poor response to visible light and fast charge recombination. In this work, sub-nano Pt/β-FeOOH quantum dots (QDs) were designed to shorten the charge migration path and obtain wide light harvesting. Interestingly, the crystalline β-FeOOH QDs can be obtained by loading sub-nano Pt particles via a reconstruction mechanism of amorphous FeOOH induced by H2 spillover, which facilitates the fast kinetics of charge transition and benefits the oxygen-rich surface of the catalyst for photocatalytic oxidation reactions. Moreover, the Pt-VO-Fe interfaces were proved to be the most active sites for the activation of O2. As a result, the catalyst exhibits a predominant photocatalytic performance in toluene oxidation, achieving a TOFPt of 0.591 min−1 at room temperature under visible light irradiation. This work provides a new perspective on the design and preparation of nanocatalysts for high-efficient photocatalysis under visible light irradiation.

The uniform and stable deposition of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) onto membranes without compromising their performance presents a significant challenge. This study reports the fabrication of a photocatalytic self-cleaning membrane using hydrothermal and photochemical substitution methods. These methods enabled the uniform and stable deposition of β-FeOOH nanorods, m-MIL-100(Fe), and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) not only on the members surface but also throughout the interior of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane pores. The synergistic effect of these materials and their uniform and stable distribution within the PVDF membrane resulted in superior photocatalytic efficacy. The membrane's excellent photocatalytic performance facilitated the degradation of most pollutants, ensuring prolonged usage. Unlike other photocatalytic membranes requiring additional cocatalysts, our membrane degraded over 90% of various dyes without H 2 O 2 , demonstrating a greener usage mode and higher photocatalytic efficiency. The valence band (VB) and conduction band (CB) of β-FeOOH nanorods and m-MIL-100(Fe) were calculated, confirming the existence of a type-II heterojunction for the first time. Free radical trapping experiments identified hydroxyl radicals (·OH) as the primary reactive species in the degradation process. This research provides a novel approach to uniformly and stably load MOFs on membranes, enhancing their properties and offering insights into fabricating multifunctional photocatalytic membranes.

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation with the generation of strongly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and sulfate radicals (SO 4 • − ) has attracted widespread attention for the elimination of organic contaminants. However, the design of an eco-friendly catalytic system with high mineralization rate and high stability remains a challenge. Here, an iron-based photocatalyst (β-FeOOH@g-C 3 N 4 ) for the activation of PMS was prepared by a cyclic microwave-assisted reaction, whereby Fe 3+ was introduced at the nitrogen sites of g-C 3 N 4 , resulting in in situ growth and a uniform distribution of nano-β-FeOOH thereon. β-FeOOH@g-C 3 N 4 maintained high catalytic activity after acid treatment or repeated tests, demonstrating excellent stability and reusability. Moreover, compared with the catalytic systems with β-FeOOH or g-C 3 N 4 alone, the catalytic activity of β-FeOOH@g-C 3 N 4 was increased 5–10 times for the catalytic oxidation of carbamazepine (CBZ) and other emerging contaminants under solar irradiation. Importantly, the CBZ mineralization rate with the β-FeOOH@g-C 3 N 4 /PMS system under solar irradiation was as high as 92%. From the results of electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and radical trapping experiments, large amounts of O 2 • − , 1 O 2 , and Fe V = O are present at the beginning of the reaction, which contribute to the rapid oxidative removal of CBZ, while SO 4 • − and •OH contribute to the deep oxidation, leading to a significantly enhanced total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency. This work provides an alternative method for the design of a highly efficient and stable catalyst for PMS activation to eliminate emerging contaminants.
