Magnetically separable Zn 1− x Cd x S/γ-Fe 2 O 3 ( x =0–1) photocatalysts were synthesized by a one-step combustion method. The structures, morphologies, absorbance, optical and photocatalytic properties of the samples were studied by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy , ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry and photoluminescence . The experimental results show that the formation of hexagonal Zn 1− x Cd x S and γ-Fe 2 O 3 and the combination of them were one-pot achieved. The Cd 2+ content has a significant influence on the absorbance of visible light and fluorescence properties. The magnetic properties of samples ensure the magnetic separation by using a magnet. CdS/γ-Fe 2 O 3 shows the best photocatalytic performance compared with other samples, ascribed to its small energy band gap and matching energy band structure between CdS and γ-Fe 2 O 3 . Moreover, no obvious deterioration was observed in the stability tests.

In terms of developing high-performing, multifunctional hetero-nanostructures, an exact control of the growth dynamics at the interface of metal nanoparticles (NPs) and metal oxides is of great significance. Having this in mind, we reported a facile and efficient approach to anchor and control the growth process of Au NPs on the surface of iron oxide, and to synthesis α–Fe2O3–Au heterogeneous structure. The nanocomposite exhibits its outstanding multifunctional performance, the energy absorption rate and energy transfer efficiency of α–Fe2O3–Au heterogeneous structure is obviously more than that of α–Fe2O3 materials. FDTD simulation results also show that α–Fe2O3–Au heterogeneous structure have excellent absorption light property and surface Raman effect compared to the single materials, and exhibit enhanced analysis enhancement factor (to 5 × 104) with R6G molecule probe in SERS measurement. Furthermore, for the electrocatalytic activity of H2O2, the sensitivity and detection limit is 42.265 μA mM−1 cm−2 and 1.166 μM, respectively. This work provides an innovative synthetic route for new heterogeneously structured nanocomposites.

In this study, a series of γ-Fe 2 O 3 -modified V 2 O 5 -MoO 3 /TiO 2 (VMT) catalysts was prepared by wet impregnation method. The γ-Fe 2 O 3 -modified catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic performance, and 1.25 wt% γ-Fe 2 O 3 content improved the deNO x efficiency at 150 °C from 54% (unmodified VMT catalyst) to 84% (modified catalyst). BET, XRD, XPS, NH 3 -TPD, H 2 -TPR, and in situ DRIFTs were employed to characterize the physicochemical properties and reaction mechanisms of the catalysts. The introduction of γ-Fe 2 O 3 increased the V 5+ /V 4+ ratio, surface chemisorbed oxygen content, redox ability, and a number of acid sites in the prepared catalysts. XPS confirmed the addition of γ-Fe 2 O 3 introduced new charge transfer pathways (Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ ↔ V 5+ /V 4+ ). In situ DRIFTs suggested that the addition of γ-Fe 2 O 3 to the catalyst significantly increased the adsorption capacity of catalyst for NH 3 and NO x , while also exerting a strong activating effect on the adsorbed NH 3 . Furthermore, selective catalytic reduction over the VMT and 5PEG@1.25Fe-VMT catalysts followed the Eley-Rideal (E-R) mechanism. At temperatures above 200 °C, the 5PEG@1.25Fe-VMT catalyst also followed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism.

NH 3 -SCR technology with commercialized V 2 O 5 -WO 3 (MoO 3 )/TiO 2 catalysts has become the most efficient technology for the removal of NO x from coal-fired power plants. However, the weaknesses of V 2 O 5 -WO 3 (MoO 3 )/TiO 2 catalysts such as the biotoxicity of vanadium species and high cost restrict their increased applicability. Fe 2 O 3 -based NH 3 -SCR catalysts show potential in placing traditional catalysts due to their good N 2 selectivity, excellent environmentally friendly performance, high thermal stability, and low cost. In this work, low cost Fe 2 O 3 -containing solid waste was exploited as the base material for NH 3 -SCR catalyst preparing. Moreover, bulk MoO 3 and MoO 3-x nanosheets decorated Fe 2 O 3 composite NH 3 -SCR catalysts were synthesized and both revealed conspicuously improved NO x removal efficiency compared with bare-Fe 2 O 3 catalyst. However, the N 2 selectivity of these two catalysts showed significant differences. Therefore, comprehensive characterizations, NH 3 oxidation experiments, and in-situ diffusion Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS) experiments were performed to determine the N 2 O formation pathways of the above two catalysts. The redox properties were highly related to the N 2 O generated from NH 3 oxidation. Moreover, the huge difference in NH 3 and NO adsorption ability led to disparate reaction mechanisms over the two catalysts. This new understanding of the N 2 O formation mechanism has the potential to guide the rational design of improved NH 3 -SCR catalysts suffering from low N 2 selectivity.

Surface exposed catalytic active species are thought to be responsible for overall catalytic activity and selectivity. In this paper, controllable contents of iron oxides were in situ introduced into the inner surface of anionic surfactant-templated mesoporous silica (AMS) by the metal-modified anionic surfactant templating route, in which anionic micelles decorated with different amounts of Fe2+ were direct utilized to assemble with organosilicate. The characterization results demonstrated that, after thermal treatments, Fe2O3 species were in situ formed and highly-dispersed in the channels of AMS, and the pore size was accordingly tailored to the microporous level (<2 nm). In each AMS catalyst, Fe2O3 showed better dispersion and stability compared with the post-impregnated method. Moreover, the catalytic performances of phenol hydroxylation on the as-synthesized catalysts were significantly enhanced, and the optimal catalyst (Fe/Si = 3.5 wt%) gave a phenol conversion of 44.3% with a selectivity of 82.6% to dihydroxybenzene. By comparison with some reference mesoporous silica catalysts (0.15Fe/MCM-41 and 0.15Fe/SBA-15), the iron-based micropore-enriched silica catalyst (Fe/AMS) gave an obviously higher selectivity to dihydroxybenzene. Finally, the optimal catalyst was examined for at least 5 runs in phenol hydroxylation.

Novel hybrid nanostructures or nanocomposites are receiving increasing attention due to their newly evolved properties. In this work, α-Fe 2 O 3 anchored to graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet (α-Fe 2 O 3 @GO) was synthesized through a facile hydrolysis process and its photo-catalytic performances and durability in heterogeneous Fenton system were fully evaluated. The decolorization rates of methylene blue in α-Fe 2 O 3 @GO + H 2 O 2 + UV system within a wide pH range were approximately 2.9-fold that of classical Degussa P25 TiO 2 + UV and 2.4-fold that of α-Fe 2 O 3 + H 2 O 2 + UV. This enhanced decolorization of methylene blue (MB) in α-Fe 2 O 3 @GO + H 2 O 2 + UV system were attributed to the unique incorporation of GO into the catalyst which not only mediated the morphology of active sites α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles but also offered high electron conductivity and electrostatic attraction between negatively charged GO with positively charged MB. High efficiencies of degradation were achieved on various surface charged organic pollutants (around 96–100%), such as cationic compounds of MB and rhodamine B (RhB), anionic compound Orange II (OII) and Orange G (OG), neutral compounds of phenol , 2-nitrophenol (2-NP) and endocrine disrupting compound 17β-estradiol (E2). The dominant reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsible for decolorization, such as hydroxyl radicals ( OH) and superoxide anion radicals (O 2 − ) generated by activation of H 2 O 2 on the surface of α-Fe 2 O 3 @GO were detected and quantified by free radical quenching methods. The possible degradation mechanism of MB involved the rupture of phenothiazine ring by desulfurization and the rupture of phenyl ring due to the attack of ROS, which was analyzed by LC/MS/MS. The reduction of MB and its intermediates was consistent with the decreasing trend of the acute toxicity towards luminous bacteria with the increasing irradiation time. The results lay a foundation for highly effective and durable photo-Fenton technologies for organic wastewater within wider pH ranges than the conventional photo-Fenton reaction.

Heterojunction photocatalysts Fe 2 O 3 –ZnO@C/g-C 3 N 4 (FZCCN) were prepared by precipitation and calcination in this study. Systematic characterization demonstrated that the tight interfacial contact was established between Fe 2 O 3 –ZnO@C and g-C 3 N 4 , and the FZCCN-4 (theoretical mass ratios of ZnO and g-C 3 N 4 was 4) had large BET surface area (110.136 m 2 g −1 ). Bisphenol A (BPA) was selected to estimate the photocatalytic properties of FZCCN and the degradation reaction kinetics was analyzed at the same time. The results showed that, FZCCN-4 had the highest removal rate of BPA (100%, 60 min). The degradation rate of BPA by using FZCCN-4 was approximately 32 and 130 times higher than that of g-C 3 N 4 and Fe 2 O 3 –ZnO@C, respectively. ·O 2 − was proved to be the main active species by capture experiment and electron spin resonance. The UV–vis and PL results proved the formation of heterojunction in FZCCN. This study also identified the intermediates of BPA degradation and tested their toxicity. The excellent visible light catalytic performance of Fe 2 O 3 –ZnO@C/g-C 3 N 4 makes it an ideal material for degrading contaminants.

Fe-MIL-101-NH 2 was prepared by solvothermal method with ferric nitrate and 2-Aminoterephthalic Acid (DBC-NH 2 ), and Fe-MIL-101-NH 2 as precursor was calcined to prepare α-Fe 2 O 3 catalyst. The optimum synthesis condition and the NO conversion efficiency of α-Fe 2 O 3 were systematically investigated, and its crystallinity, micro-morphology and surface acidity were characterized. The results showed that α-Fe 2 O 3 over calcination at 400 °C for 1 h had excellent catalytic activity, SO 2 tolerance, water resistance, and stability. When an initial NO concentration of 500 ppm, the gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 35000 h −1 , and a reaction temperature of 350 °C, the NO conversion efficiency of α-Fe 2 O 3 remained above 90 %. The crystal structure of the catalyst was α-Fe 2 O 3 which retained the original octahedral morphology of Fe-MIL-101-NH 2 and increased a lot of new pores, leading to more abundant Lewis acid sites for promoting NO conversion efficiency.

Exploiting advanced bimetallic oxide as sensing materials for electroanalysis offers new opportunity to improve the electrochemical performance, but still presents a tough challenge. Herein, we synthesized the uniform Fe 2 O 3 /Mn 3 O 4 nanocubes from a framework structure in a facile approach, which were developed as the electrochemical catalyst for individual and simultaneous analysis of Cu(II) and Hg(II) in 0.1 M HAc-NaAc buffer solution (pH5.0). It showed the excellent electrochemical behavior for the simultaneous analysis Cu(II) and Hg(II) with high sensitivities of 69.29 and 190.55 μA μM cm −2 . The corresponding limit of detection values (LODs) were calculated to be 3.94 nM and 1.39 nM, respectively. The excellent electrochemical behavior of Fe 2 O 3 /Mn 3 O 4 could be attributed to the large specific surface area, which could provide a large number of adsorption sites for Cu(II) and Hg(II). Meanwhile, the bimetallic Fe and Mn atoms arranged in the porous nanocubes could offer a synergistic effect and improve the electrochemical activity. Moreover, it could be successfully applied for the simultaneous analysis of Cu(II) and Hg(II) in real water samples with the favorable recovery rate. The results confirmed that the Fe 2 O 3 /Mn 3 O 4 nanocubes could serve as a reliable platform for the simultaneous analysis of Cu(II) and Hg(II).

Fe 2 O 3 is one of promising negative materials for supercapacitors (SCs), because of its low cost and high theoretical value of specific capacitance. However, the inferior conductivity and insufficient ionic diffusion rate of Fe 2 O 3 will seriously hinder the electrochemical performance of Fe 2 O 3 , resulting in limiting its practical application in SCs. Herein, a sea urchin-like 3D Fe 2 O 3 was synthesized via hydrothermal methods. And then, the 2D Ti 2 C 3 T x MXene nanosheets with high conductivity closely self-assemble on the surface of Fe 2 O 3 to provide efficient pathways for the rapid electrons transport. In addition, the sea urchin-like structure of Fe 2 O 3 can facilitate the rapid diffusion of the electrolyte to accelerate faradaic reaction. The optimized Fe 2 O 3 /MXene composite as electrode material exhibits a high specific capacitance of 486.3 F g −1 at current density of 1 A g −1 , and excellent cycling stability with 95.7% capacity retention after 5000 charge/discharge cycles. Furthermore, an asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) device was assembled by using Fe 2 O 3 /MXene composite as anode and MnO 2 as cathode, showing a high energy density of 32.2 Wh kg −1 at the power density of 900.6 W kg −1 , and remarkable long-term durability (95.7 % capacitance retention after 5000 cycles). This work demonstrates an effective approach of integrating the sea urchin-like Fe 2 O 3 with 2D MXene nanosheets to fabricate Fe 2 O 3 /MXene composite for high-performance SCs.

High porosity α -Fe 2 O 3 has attracted a lot of attention due to its exceptional structure. In this paper, nanoflake assembled hierarchical porous flower-like α -Fe 2 O 3 was prepared by hydrothermal and calcination methods without any additional templates. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) morphological characterization results show that with the increase of calcination temperature (400 ∘ C, 450 ∘ C, 500 ∘ C, 550 ∘ C, 600 ∘ C), pores appeared. However, the results of nitrogen adsorption show that the specific surface area of the α -Fe 2 O 3 reaches the maximum value (52.19 m 2 /g) when the calcination temperature is 500 ∘ C. The gas sensing performance of flower-like α -Fe 2 O 3 with different calcination temperature is compared, interestingly, with the increase of calcination temperature, the response of the samples increased first and then decreased, and reached the maximum value (44.2–100 parts per million (ppm) acetone) when the calcination temperature was 500 ∘ C. The minimum concentration for acetone was 200 ppb (response value is 2.0). Moreover, calcined at 500 ∘ C, hierarchical porous α -Fe 2 O 3 has a fast response recovery (4/25 s) and low working temperature (210 ∘ C). These excellent gas sensing properties are mainly due to porous structure, large specific surface area, and oxygen vacancies on the surface, which make it a promising material for acetone sensors.

In this work, the magnetic γ-Fe 2 O 3 –MnO 2 bifunctional catalyst with oxygen vacancy was synthesized for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation under visible light. The activity of γ-Fe 2 O 3 –MnO 2 was investigated by ciprofloxacin (cipro) degradation. Results showed that 98.3% of cipro (50 μM) was removed within 30 min in visible-light/PMS system mediated by γ-Fe 2 O 3 –MnO 2 (2:1) with fine-tuned oxygen vacancy. The cipro degradation data fitted well with pseudo-first-order kinetic model with the highest kinetic constant of 0.114 min −1 . Besides, the γ-Fe 2 O 3 –MnO 2 exhibited stability, recyclability and practicability. High selectivity for cipro degradation was observed with coexisting anions in visible-light/γ-Fe 2 O 3 –MnO 2 /PMS system. Furthermore, the enhanced mechanism of PMS activation under visible light with γ-Fe 2 O 3 –MnO 2 was proposed. The appropriate oxygen vacancy enhanced the separation of photo-induced carriers and Z scheme heterostructure maintained the highest redox potential . Accordingly, the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and PMS activation enhanced cipro degradation. Free radical and non-radical species including , h + , 1 O 2 , • OH and co-existed in the coupled system. Impressively, this study provides a handy approach for oxygen vacancy regulation in metallic oxides composite and an easily recycled catalyst with high-activity in coupled oxidation system towards antibiotic degradation.
