The determination of specific nucleic acid sequences is key in identifying disease-causing pathogens and genetic diseases. In this paper we report the utilization of Fe-nitrilotriacetic acid coordination polymer nanowires as an effective nanoquencher for fluorescence-enhanced nucleic acid detection. The detection is fast and the whole process can be completed within 15 min. This nanosensor shows a low detection limit of 0.2 nM with selectivity down to single-base mismatch. This work provides us with an attractive sensing platform for applications.

ABSTRACT As an effective and in situ purification strategy, adsorption technology has drawn much attention and recently the utilization of biomass substrate has been regarded as a promising way to enhance the adsorption performance and reduce cost. In this study, chitosan was applied as matrix and the magnetic Fe-crosslinked chitosan (CS-Fe@Fe 3 O 4 ) composite was obtained through a chelation procedure with cheap and environmentally friendly chitosan and iron salts. Then, the resultant CS-Fe@Fe 3 O 4 composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. The sorption and desorption of methyl orange (MO), a common type of azo dye, on CS-Fe@Fe 3 O 4 composite was systematically studied to understand its availability for dyeing wastewater. The results revealed that CS-Fe@Fe 3 O 4 composites could efficiently remove MO in a wide pH range. The mixed Fe 3 O 4 particles were physically mixed andalmost had no negative effect on its adsorption. Moreover, the dye adsorption process was found to be controlled by the pseudo-second-order rate model and the adsorption isotherm behavior could be described by the Langmuir model. The repeatability test showed that the CS-Fe@Fe 3 O 4 composites could retain its high efficiency after desorption and regeneration. In summary, the results presented herein indicated that the resultant CS-Fe@Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposite with high adsorption efficiency and strong magnetic property could serve as a potential adsorbent for remediating industrial dyeing wastewater.

Phenolic compounds are problematic byproducts generated from lignocellulose pretreatment . In this study, the feasibility degradation of syringic acid (SA), vanillic acid (VA), and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA) by Bio-Electro-Fenton (BEF) system with a novel Fe–Mn/graphite felt (Fe–Mn/GF) composite cathode were investigated. The nano-scale Fe–Mn multivalent composite catalyst with core shell structure distributed more evenly on GF surface to form a catalyst layer with higher oxygen reduction reaction performance. Accordingly, the maximum power density generated with Fe–Mn/GF cathode was 48.1% and 238.9% higher than Fe/GF and GF respectively, which further enhanced the in situ generation of H 2 O 2 due to the superiority of nano-scale core shell structure and synergistic effect of Fe and Mn species. The degradation efficiency of the three phenolic compounds in the BEF system could reached 100% after optimization of influencing parameters. Furthermore, a possible SA degradation pathway by BEF process in the present system was proposed based on the detected intermediates. These results demonstrated an efficient approach for the degradation of phenolic compounds derived from lignocellulose hydrolysates.

Na-metal halide batteries are regarded as one of the most promising candidates for large-scale energy storage systems owing to their high energy density and high safety. However, the problems of low kinetics and poor stability caused by the low-conductive chlorides have restricted the development of Na-metal halide batteries. Here, we design a facile approach that combines electrospinning and electrodeposition to prepare electrodes with a nanostructured composite containing carbon nanofibers and Ni-Fe alloy (CNF@Ni-Fe alloy). It is confirmed that the Ni-Fe alloy can stably be oxidized and reformed when discharges from 2.36 V to 2.32 V. Benefiting from the unique nanoscale arrangement of Ni-Fe, the heterogeneous distribution of FeCl 2 and NiCl 2 effectively overcomes the block of low-conductive chlorides. Furthermore, the coreaction of Ni 2+ and Fe 2+ directly decreases the polarization potential, resulting in the improvement of reaction kinetics. Notably, batteries with the CNF@Ni-Fe alloy display a high specific capacity of 199.7 mAh g −1 and a capacity retention rate of 99% after 50 cycles at 0.6 C. The CNF@Ni-Fe alloy cathodes also deliver long-term stability with 104.5 mAh g −1 capacity retention after 600 cycles at 2 C and a good rate capability of 5 C.

To design inexpensive carbon catalysts and enhance their oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity is critical for developing efficient energy-conversion systems. In this work, a novel Fe-N-C hybrid electrocatalyst with carbon nanolayers-encapsulated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles is synthesized successfully by utilizing the molecular-level confinement of graphitic C 3 N 4 structures via hemin biomaterial. Benefiting from the Fe-N structure prevalent on the carbon nanosheets and large mesopore-dominated specific surface area, the synthesized catalyst under optimized conditions shows excellent electrocatalytic performance for ORR with an E ORR at 1.08 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and an E 1/2 at 0.87 V vs. RHE, and outstanding long-term stability, which is superior to commercial Pt/C catalysts (E ORR at 1.04 V versus RHE and E 1/2 at 0.84 V versus RHE). Moreover, the low hydrogen peroxide yield (<11%) and average electron transfer number (~3.8) indicate a four-electron ORR pathway. Besides, the maximum power density of the home-made Zn-air battery using the obtained catalyst is 97.6 mW cm −2 . This work provides a practical route for the synthesis of cheap and efficient ORR electrocatalysts in metal-air battery systems.

Fe-based metal organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) being a newly developed photo-Fenton catalyst, have gained ever-increasing attention for environmental remediation, but have been limited by high synthesis cost (high energy-consumption and low yield). In this work, economical and scalable synthesis of Fe-BDC 1 (BDC denotes as terephthalic acid) was achieved via facile stirring under ambient condition, and its adsorptive, photocatalytic, Fenton-like and photo-Fenton performances were comprehensively explored against contaminants removal . In comparison, synthesized Fe-BDC 2 with the common solvothermal method, the yield of Fe-BDC 1 increased 3.4 times. Also, its adsorption capacity towards Rhodamine B (Rh. B) increased about 5.85 times. Moreover, the significantly improved degradation of Rh. B was observed in the Fenton-like and photo-Fenton systems with the increased reaction rate constants up to 4.90 and 2.33 times, respectively. This enhanced catalytic performance of Fe-BDC 1 was mainly attributed to the enlarged specific surface area (SSA) and favorable electron separation and migration, resulting into the accelerated ≡Fe(II)/≡Fe(III) cycle and increased yield of reactive oxidative species (ROSs). Additionally, the unique light-induced adsorption enhancement further strengthened the contaminants removal. Fe-BDC 1 as photo-Fenton catalyst was found superior over conventional catalysts in terms of advantages including: low dose requirement of catalysts (decrease in an order of magnitude) and H 2 O 2 , wide pH working range (3.0–9.0), excellent reusability and stability, universal removal behavior against all organic pollutants, and remarkable synergism between photocatalysis and Fenton-like process with synergistic factor of 77.23%. Moreover, the Fe coordinative unsaturated sites (Fe CUSs) and ·OH were determined as the active sites and the main ROSs, respectively, responsible for highly efficient pollutant degradation . This work gives a feasible solution for the preparation of Fe-MOFs with low synthesis cost and high yield, paving ways for their practical mass application in heterogeneous photo-Fenton oxidation .

In recent years, lead (Pb) contaminated soil has caused irreversible damage to human beings. It is urgent to develop a novel technology for accurate detection of Pb in the soil solution. Herein, a new electrochemical sensor was fabricated. Fe/ZIF-8 was used as the modification material, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were electrodeposited, and DNAzyme was applied on the surface as the probe. Under the optimum conditions (DNAzyme concentration of 1 μmol, fixation time of 4 min, incubation time of 17 h and reaction time of 30 min), the detection range was 5×10 −12 ∼ 5×10 −5 M, and the minimum detection limit was 10 −13 M (3δ). Furthermore, the electrochemical sensor demonstrated outstanding anti-interference ability to common cations, anions, organic compounds and other interference factors. After four consecutive tests, the relative standard deviation (RSD) was only 0.39%, and it still displayed excellent reproducibility with 0.69% of RSD. After 20 days, the sensor’s response to Pb 2+ remained at 93.58%. In addition, the sensor could accurately detect Pb 2+ in the actual soil solutions, and the recoveries of the samples ranged from 92% to 109.4%. In conclusion, this electrochemical sensor can specifically detect Pb 2+ in the soil solution with enhanced sensitivity, anti-interference capability and stability, which is of great significance for Pb 2+ detection in the field.

Developing electrocatalysts with high-Pt-utilization efficiency and appropriate surface oxygen affinity through a facile and scalable route is urgently needed for proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Here, SPD-annealing strategy is demonstrated to prepare ordered low-Pt-loading Pd–Pt–Fe nanoalloys with an average particle size of less than 5 nm and excellent electrocatalytic performance. Furthermore, the ORR performances of Pd–Pt–Fe/C nanoalloy catalysts are rationally modified by means of both precise composition control and structural transformation. With an optimal component proportion, the prepared Pd 0 . 75 Pt 0 . 25 Fe/C catalyst exhibits the most excellent intrinsic activity due to the synergistic interaction of lattice strain and ligand effect. Benefiting from the compressive strain effect induced by the relatively tight arrangement of the ordered structure, the adsorption energy of the intermediate oxygen-containing species is effectively weakened, enabling the Pd 0 . 75 Pt 0 . 25 Fe/C to obtain enhanced ORR catalytic performance in acidic condition. Notably, compared with the disordered Pd 0 . 75 Pt 0 . 25 Fe/C, the ordered Pd 0 . 75 Pt 0 . 25 Fe/C shows an extremely superior stability of 98.5% mass activity retention after 10 000 cycles. This work could provide a facile and versatile approach to constructing the ordered low-platinum electrocatalysts with enhanced ORR properties.

To insight into the selective adsorption mechanism of fluoride in the bimetallic system, Fe-La or Al-La composites were comparatively embedded onto the cellulose/graphene hybrids (CG hybrids) to fabricate the Fe-La@CG hybrids or Al-La@CG hybrids for fluoride uptake with existing phosphate. The results showed that Al-La@CG hybrids were mainly in the amorphous nature, while Fe-La@CG hybrids have the identical diffraction peaks as compared with those of hydrated lanthanum oxides (HLO) and hydrated iron oxides (HFO). Fluoride capture by Al-La@CG and Fe-La@CG hybrids followed the similar tendencies with the pH altering, but the adsorption performance of Al-La@CG hybrids was better than that of Fe-La@CG hybrids at the same pH levels. Adsorption of fluoride onto Al-La@CG hybrids exhibited less sensitivity and high selectivity with existing phosphate as compared with that of Fe-La@CG hybrids, which further indicated that the Al-La@CG hybrids were more preferable for fluoride adsorption. The fraction areas of La-F and Al-F accounted for 79.1 % and 20.9%, which indicated that the fluoride onto the Al-La@CG hybrids was mainly based on the La species. Similarly, La-F in exhausted Fe-La@CG hybrids accounted for 55.6%, higher than that (44.4%) of Fe-F.

Targeting excess H 2 O 2 in the tumor microenvironment, nanotheranostic agents for catalytic therapy are designed based on Fenton reaction, catalyzing H 2 O 2 into oxygen and hydroxyl radical ( OH). But the catalytic efficiency in tumor microenvironment is not satisfactory. In order to solve the problem, a series of bimetallic-dual ligands metal-organic frameworks Fe/Tm-MOFs were designed, that Fe 3+ and Tm 3+ as metalions, 2-methylimidazole and trimesic acid as ligands. Due to the doped Tm 3+ in Fe/Tm-MOFs and the conjugated structures formed by two ligands, the rate of electron transfer was improved, thus promoting the generation of OH at some extent. In addition, the photothermal effect of Fe/Tm-MOFs further promotes the generation of OH, which was evidenced by the 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB). Combining the drug loading and release capabilities of Fe/Tm-MOFs, synergetic therapy of photothermal/chemo-/catalytic therapy can be achieved. In vitro results reveal that DOX release behaviors are both pH- and thermal-responsive. In vivo anti-cancer results show that the tumors of mice almost disappeared within 10 days, which were injected with Fe/Tm-MOFs/DOX and irradiated with 808 nm for 10 min. Thus, an excellent therapeutic performance has been achieved. Besides, Fe/Tm-MOFs can serve as a multimodality bioimaging contrast agent, covering fluorescence imaging, photothermal imaging and magnetic resonance imaging. Thus, an all-in-one nanotheranostic agent is constructed, improving the catalytic efficiency and providing a novel method to design an efficient nanotheranostic agent.

Decorating porous carbon nanomaterials with rich homodispersed metal cluster and heteroatoms can effectively shorten the diffusion pathway of oxygen and expose more active sites, thereby promoting oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, hierarchical porous carbon nanorods with homodispersed Fe–N x –C active sites are obtained by calcination , etching and ammonia activation of Fe-nitrogenous acid (NTA) coordination polymer nanowires. The obtained Fe-PCNRs-700 as ORR catalysts show the excellent activity with half wave potential (E 1/2 ) of 0.71 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 and 0.87 V vs. RHE in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte, which owe to its huge specific surface area (1652 m 2 g −1 ), hierarchical pore structure , homodispersed Fe–N x –C active sites and structural defects. Furthermore, using Fe-PCNRs-700 as a cathode catalyst in both liquid and flexible solid Zn-air batteries, and the assembled liquid batteries display the high power density of 161 mW cm −2 and robust charge/discharge stability of 116 h.
