Excessive artificial electromagnetic radiation poses significant health risks and disrupts military equipment. To address this, high-performance microwave absorption materials are urgently required. While ferromagnetic materials have excellent absorption but suffer from high density, limited bandwidth , and perishable properties. Carbon materials, especially metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), offer promise due to low density, chemical stability, and high conductivity. In this study, we synthesized a novel multicore-shell Fe 3 O 4 @Fe@C composite via solvothermal and in-situ pyrolysis methods. This composite integrated Zn-MOF-derived porous carbon with core-shell Fe 3 O 4 @Fe@C, enabling multiple electromagnetic wave routes, strong interfacial polarization , and magnetic-dielectric synergy. It exhibited exceptional electromagnetic wave absorption, with a −59.1 dB reflection loss at 13.36 GHz and a 5.36 GHz effective absorption bandwidth. Our innovative MOF-core-shell approach holds great promise for highly efficient microwave absorbers to mitigate artificial electromagnetic radiation's adverse effects on health and military equipment.

ABSTRACT The practical use of solar-driven interfacial evaporation is hampered by high cost, low photothermal conversion efficiency, and poor stability. Herein, a one-dimensional Fe/C constructed photothermal membrane is rationally developed to replace precious metals via the combination of Fe plasmon resonance with carbon molecular thermal vibration. The membrane exhibits excellent light absorbance (95.72%) and water evaporation rate (2.60 kg·m -2 ·h -1 ) leading to photothermal conversion efficiency up to 95.65% under 1 sun illumination. Janus Fe/C membrane with superhydrophobic and hydrophilic structure is further prepared by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coating to improve long-term stability. The evaporation rate can be maintained at over 90% after 80 h illumination for real seawater treatment with metal ion removal efficiency >99%. It also shows high evaporation performance and stability for organic solvents such as IPA, and NMP. Thus, the 1D Fe/C constructed Janus membrane is a promising candidate for energy-saving solar-driven interfacial solvent evaporation including seawater desalination, wastewater treatment, and organic solvent purification.

Hydrogels possess 3D network with abundant reactive groups, and can bind with active metal ions within their confined 3D structure for fabricating functional materials . In this study, a chitosan grafted polyacrylic acid (CTS-g-PAA) hydrogel was prepared for loading Fe 2+ , which was then converted into magnetic Fe@C via subsequent pyrolysis process . In Fe@C activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) (Fe@C/PMS) system, the degradation behaviors of ciprofloxacin (CIP) were systematically investigated, including influencing parameters, reactive oxygen species (ROSs), degradation mechanism and potential eco-toxicity of degradation intermediates. The results showed that CTS-g-PAA supported, in-situ derived magnetic Fe@C had not only stable catalytic ability at pH 3.0–9.0, but also high degradation efficiency in the presence of inorganic Cl − and HCO 3 − (5–20 mM) as well as organic humid acid (10 and 20 mg/L). Under the optimized conditions, the degradation efficiency of CIP could reach to 96.84 % within 1 h. In Fe@C/PMS system, the main ROSs involved free radicals SO 4 •− , •OH, O 2 •− and non-free radical 1 O 2 . Through free radical quantitative experiments, the concentration of SO 4 •− and •OH at 60 min was determined respectively to be 11.84 µM and 0.14 µM, proving the dominant role of SO 4 •− . By HPLC-MS analysis, the degradation products were proposed via four degradation pathways, including hydroxylation, defluorination and decarboxylation, as well as the ring opening of quinolone and piperazine. Finally, the potential eco-toxicity of CIP and its degradation intermediates was evaluated by using ECOSAR method based on quantitative structure–activity relationships analysis.

Silkworm excrement is a very useful biomass waste, composed of layer-structured fats and proteins, which are great precursors for carbon composite materials. In this work, new porous composites derived from silkworm excrement were prepared for selective separation of flavor 4-methylanisole from the binary 4-methylanisole/4-anisaldehyde mixture. In particular, the silkworm excrement, possessing a unique nanosheet structure, is converted into a graphite-like carbon by a simple calcination strategy followed by a metal-ion-doping procedure. This Fe@C composite exhibits a special nano-spongy morphology, anchoring Fe3C/Fe5C2 on the carbon nanosheets. Density functional theory simulations showed that 4-methylanisole presents a stronger π–π interaction and attraction forces with sp2 carbon nanosheets in Fe@C composites than 4-anisaldehyde. The selective adsorption experiments further confirmed that the Fe@C composites exhibited a 4-methylanisole capacity of 7.3 mmol/g at 298 K and the highest selectivity of 17 for an equimolar 4-methylanisole/4-anisaldehyde mixture among the examined adsorbents including MOFs and commercial activated carbon materials, which demonstrates the potential of this low-cost and eco-friendly porous carbon material as a promising sustainable adsorbent.

2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is one of the most applicable herbicides in the world, its residue in aquatic environment threatens the human health and ecosystems. In this study, for the first time, inexpensive Fe-C after pre-magnetization (Pre-Fe-C) was used as the heterogeneous catalyst to activate persulfate (PS) for 2,4-D degradation, proving that Pre-Fe-C could significantly improve the degradation and dechlorination. The results indicated the stability and reusability of Pre-Fe-C were much better than pre-magnetization Fe 0 (Pre-Fe 0 ), while the leaching iron ion was lower, indicating that using Pre-Fe-C not only reduced the post-treatment cost, but also enhanced the removal and dechlorination efficiency of 2,4-D. Several important parameters including initial pH, Fe-C dosage, PS concentration affecting 2,4-D degradation and dechlorination by Pre-Fe-C/PS were investigated and compared with that of Fe-C/PS, observing a 1.2–2.7 fold enhancement in the degradation rate of 2,4-D. The Fe-C and Pre-Fe-C were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and SEM-EDX-mapping, suggesting that the content of Fe and O changed more obviously after magnetization. The degradation intermediates, such as chloroquinol, 2-chlorophenol, were identified by a gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and an ion chromatography (IC), and a possible degradation pathway was proposed.

The development of highly stable and strongly active electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and overall water splitting (OWS) is critical in sustainable energy storage and conversion systems. Here, a new electrode material N-Fe-C@Nb 2 CT x is introduced, with a layered sandwich structure consisting of N-doping Fe-MOF derived-nanorods (Fe-C) and Nb 2 CT x MXenes. Specifically, Nb 2 CT x obtained by etching Nb 2 AlC with HF acid is used as the main body to construct the layered sandwich structure with Fe-C as the filler. Benefiting from this structure, Fe-MOF grows in situ within Nb 2 CT x , which restrains MXenes aggregation and stacking and also alleviates the bulk effect of sodium-ion embedding/de-embedding, thus improving its stability. Again, the more exposed active sites from the layered sandwich structure and N-doping introduction ensure high reactivity as electrode materials. In addition, Fe-C nanorods strengthen the linkage between the Nb 2 CT x layers and N-doping enhances the ion/electron transport rate, thereby boosting the effective mass transfer and electrical conductivity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that Fe-C and N-doping help increase the density of states (DOS) and material electrical conductivity. Meanwhile, the generated oxygen species (*OH and *O) in OER are captured by in situ FT-IR test. As a result, the N-Fe-C@Nb 2 CT x electrochemical test displays good electrochemical performance in SIBs and OWS.

Two-dimensional microwave-absorbing materials (MAMs) with abundant preferable interfaces are highly desirable for high-performance microwave absorption. Herein, a leaf-like Fe/C structure, consisting of iron veins interpenetrated in amorphous carbon lamina, was fabricated by reducing a petal-like iron alkoxide in an H 2 /Ar atmosphere. The synthesized leaf-like Fe/C composites dissipate microwaves in an effectively similar process green to leaves absorbing sunlight. First, the unique leaf-like structure enables microwaves to pass into the composites because the 2D amorphous carbon, with its high BET surface area, provide adequate access for microwaves. Then, the incident microwave is attenuated by the distinctly improved dielectric loss caused by enhanced interface polarization and an effective magnetic loss from the natural resonance of iron. Therefore, the leaf- like Fe/C composite shows microwave absorption with a maximum reflection loss of − 59.7 dB, whose effective bandwidth (reflection loss ≤ − 10 dB) covers the whole Ku band and X band with thicknesses of only 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm, respectively.

As a promising green and storage/conversion technology, the microbial fuel cell (MFC) was generally restricted by the lower power density in application. Three carbonized derivatives of the same precursor metal organic framework (MOF) MIL-53(Fe) were prepared via carbonization at 385 ℃, 600 ℃ and 750 ℃ in argon atmosphere. Experiments showed that carbonized MIL-53(Fe) (CM53) derivative at 750 ℃ produced Fe 3 O 4 /Fe@C structure and revealed the best performance as bioanode in MFC. As anticipated, the MFC with CM53–750/Ti anode demonstrated superb maximum power density of 1179.08 mW/m 2 , which was 88.04% and 36.24% higher than that of MFC with CM53–385/Ti and CM53–600/Ti anode. Moreover, the charge transfer resistance of CM53–750/Ti (0.23 Ω) bioanode in MFC was 90.49% and 87.29% lower than that of CM53–385/Ti (2.42 Ω) and CM53–600/Ti (1.81 Ω) in MFC. The BCA method and high-throughput sequencing proved that CM53–750/Ti bioanode exhibited good biocompatibility and the function of screening the dominant bacteria for electricity generation. The results were mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of derived carbon, iron and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs). Fe 3 O 4 NPs and porous rod-like carbon promoted the enrichment and cultivation of microorganisms on the anode surface, while Fe NPs provided an efficient path for the transmission of extracellular electrons. This article proved that the carbonized derivatives of MOF have application potential in MFC.

Biochar derived from municipal sludge can be applied to adsorption. But it usually requires activation and pickling due to the generation of impurities such as metal oxide particles, which is uneconomical. Here, a facile strategy, acidification-one-step calcination, was developed and sludge-based Fe–C materials with good Cr(VI) removal effect were obtained by regulating the amount of hydrochloric acid . The results show that the adsorption capacity of Fe/C-5 (the best sample) for Cr(VI) was 150.84 mg g −1 . According to the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, the removal of Cr(VI) by Fe/C-5 is spontaneous and endothermic chemisorption process. In addition, Fe/C-5 has good ability to remove Cr(VI) under the interference of coexisting ions, and has good cycle stability. The removal of Cr(VI) by Fe/C-5 is considered to be synergistic process of adsorption and reduction. The Fe atoms were highly dispersed in Fe/C-5 and tightly bonded with C atoms, which not only strengthened the Cr(VI) adsorption by electrostatic attraction, but also activated the C atoms in the biochar material, so that the C atoms can reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) under acidic conditions. This may be due to the fact that acid pretreatment converted the iron in municipal sludge in the form of Fe–O/OH to free Fe 3+ and entered the C lattice during the calcination process. In this work, Fe–C materials with excellent Cr(VI) adsorption capacity were prepared by one-step calcination method, which has important reference significance for the resource utilization of municipal sludge.

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.

Electrochemical reduction is a promising strategy for the dechlorination of halogenated organic compounds, offering advantages such as enhanced electron transfer efficiency and increased hydrogen atom concentration. It has garnered significant attention for application in mitigating halogenated disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water, owing to its high efficiency and simple operation. In this study, trichloroacetic acid (TCAA), a representative DBP, was selected as the target contaminant. A novel composite cathode comprising a metal–organic framework MIL-53(Fe)@C supported on an Nd magnet (MIL-53(Fe)@C-MAG) and its dechlorination performance for TCAA were systematically investigated. The innovative aspect of this study is the magnetic attachment of the MOF catalyst to the carbonized cathode surface treated through carbonization, which fundamentally differs from conventional solvent-based adhesion methods. Compared to the bare electrode, the MIL-53(Fe)@C-MAG achieved a TCAA removal efficiency exceeding 96.03% within 8 h of contact time. The structural characterization revealed that the α-Fe0crystalline phase serves as the primary active center within the MIL-53(Fe)@C catalyst, facilitating efficient electron transfer and TCAA degradation. The scavenger experiments revealed that TCAA reduction involves a dual pathway: direct electron transfer and atomic hydrogen generation. The modified MIL-53(Fe)@C-MAG electrode exhibited robust electrolytic performance over a broad pH range of 3–7, with TCAA removal efficiency showing a positive correlation with current density within the range of 10–50 mA/cm2. Furthermore, the electrode maintained exceptional stability, retaining more than 90% removal efficiency after five consecutive operational cycles. The versatility of the system was further validated by the rapid and efficient dechlorination of various chlorinated DBPs, demonstrating the broad applicability of the electrode. The innovative magnetic composite electrode demonstrates a significant advancement in electrochemical dechlorination technology, offering a reliable and efficient solution for the purification of drinking water contaminated with diverse halogenated DBPs. These results provide valuable insights into the development of electrolysis for dechlorination in water treatment applications.

In this study, the S modified iron-based catalyst (S-Fe@C) for activating peroxydisulfate (PDS) was fabricated by heating the S-MIL-101 (Fe) precursor at 800 °C. The resulted S-Fe@C composite mainly consisted of carbon, Fe 0 , FeS, FeS 2 , and Fe 3 O 4 , and showed strong magnetism. Compared with Fe@C obtained from MIL-101 (Fe), the S-Fe@C exhibited much higher performance (1.5 times larger) on PDS activation and the S-Fe@C/PDS could rapidly degrade various organic pollutants in 5 min under the attack of the species of SO 4 - · , 1 O 2 , electro-transfer and Fe(IV). The S element in enhancing the PDS activation mainly involved two mechanisms. Firstly, the doped S could speed up the electron transfer efficiency, resulting in a promotion on PDS decomposition; secondly, the S 2- S 2 2- or S 0 could achieve the circulation of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ , leading to the formation of non-radicals Fe(IV) and 1 O 2 .
