The advanced treatment of municipal secondary effluent by heterogeneous and homogeneous Fenton processes using Fe/Ce-RGO (reduced graphene oxide) and Fe 2+ as catalysts was studied and compared. Sulfamethazine (SMT) was spiked in the effluent to examine the effectiveness of the emerging contaminant removal. The Fe/Ce-RGO catalyst was characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and cycle voltammetry curves. The removal of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD), SMT, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy in 254 nm (UV 254 ) of municipal secondary effluents was examined. The DOC removal efficiency of secondary effluent (without addition of SMT) was 36.30% and 11.74% using Fe/Ce-RGO and Fe 2+ as catalysts, respectively. The removal efficiency of DOC, SCOD, and SMT in heterogeneous Fenton process was higher than that in homogeneous Fenton process. The changes of three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3DEEM) fluorescence, soluble microbial products (SMPs), humic acids, and UV 254 were determined, and the results indicated that UV 254, aromatic proteins, and humic acids decreased rapidly in both processes; however, polysaccharides and protein-like substances were difficult to degrade. Although some toxic substances produced after Fenton-like treatment, the biodegradability of the treated effluent was enhanced.

Potassium ferrate [Fe(VI)] is a promising oxidant widely used in water treatment for the elimination of organic pollutants. In this work, the reaction kinetics, products, and mechanisms of the antimicrobial agent chlorophene (CP) undergoing Fe(VI) oxidation in aqueous solutions were investigated. CP is very readily degraded by Fe(VI), with the apparent second-order rate constant, k, being 423.2 M–1 s–1 at pH 8.0. A total of 22 oxidation products were identified using liquid chromatography–quadrupole time-of-flight–mass spectrometry , and their structures were further elucidated using tandem mass spectrometry. According to the extracted peak areas in mass spectra, the main reaction products were the coupling products (dimers, trimers, and tetramers) that formed via single-electron coupling. Theoretical calculations demonstrated that hydrogen abstraction should easily occur at the hydroxyl group to produce reactive CP· radicals for subsequent polymerization. Cleavage of the C–C bridge bond, electrophilic substitution, hydroxylation, ring opening, and decarboxylation were also observed during the Fe(VI) oxidation process. In addition, the degradation of CP by Fe(VI) was also effective in real waters, which provides a basis for potential applications.

Herein, MoO3 nanowires (Fe–MoO3 NWs) along the [110] direction were successfully synthesized in the presence of Fe3+ cations. The Fe–MoO3 NWs present a large specific surface area of 174.7 m2 g−1 and rich surface –OH groups, and the possible formation mechanism of such a structure is due to the adsorption of Fe3+ cations toward non-(110) planes of MoO3 in solution with pH greater than its isoelectric point. The obtained Fe–MoO3 NWs show excellent and highly selective adsorption capacity toward quasi-phenothiazine dyes (methylene blue, toluidine blue, azure I, and acridine orange). The dye removal rate could reach 99% in 3 min, and the maximum adsorption capacity is up to 144.3 mg g−1 and the adsorption is up to 28.86 mg g−1 per minute, which is 11 times greater than that of pure MoO3 and far greater than that of the recently reported MoO3 nanostructures. This excellent selective adsorption performance of Fe–MoO3 NWs was mainly attributed to the enhanced chemical adsorption of quasi-phenothiazine dyes by rich surface –OH groups and Fe species through hydrogen bond and coordination bond adsorption with N and S, respectively, which was confirmed by adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics. These results suggest the potential application of Fe–MoO3 NWs in the field of water pollution treatment.

Synergistic cancer starvation/ROS-mediated/chemo-therapy is developed through a cascade reaction with enzyme glucose oxidase (GOX) modified on the surface of an Fe-based metal organic framework (MOF(Fe)) and drug camptothecin (CPT) loaded into the cavities of MOF(Fe). Once internalized by tumor cells, GOX catalyzes endogenous glucose into hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and gluconic acid (H+) enabling starvation therapy through choking off energy (glucose) supply. Meanwhile, the acidic micro-environment of tumor enhanced by the generated H+ degrades the MOF(Fe) simultaneously releasing CPT for chemotherapy and Fe3+, catalyzing H2O2 into one of the strongest reactive oxygen species (ROS) ˙OH enabling ROS-mediated therapy. Both in vitro and in vivo results show remarkable tri-modal synergistic anticancer effects. This work may shed some light on the development of novel multi-modal cancer therapies without any external intervention.

A high-filling alumina/epoxy nanocomposite with improved thermal stability and insulation performance has been successfully designed as an organic–inorganic coating layer for the toroid-shaped FeSiBPNbCr amorphous magnetic powder cores (AMPCs). Unlike the organic coating, the organic–inorganic hybrid coating cores exhibited superior magnetic properties without compromising on saturation magnetization and permeability. The core loss declined by 40%, and the quality factor was 13% higher as half alumina was introduced into the epoxy resin matrix. A thin and uniform-coating layer of alumina/epoxy nanocomposite led to better high-frequency characteristics than those obtained with direct coating of the cores with alumina. Besides the outstanding magnetic properties, the Fe-based AMPCs with a convenient insulation-coating process cost lesser than Fe–Ni magnetic powder cores, thereby rendering the Fe-based AMPCs a potential candidate for a variety of industrial applications.

Development of low-cost, highly active bifunctional catalyst for efficient overall water splitting based on earth-abundant metals is still a great challenging task. In this work, we report a NiFe-Se/C composite nanorod as efficient non-precious-metal electrochemical catalyst derived from direct selenylation of a mixed Ni/Fe metal-organic framework. The as-obtained catalyst requires low overpotential to drive 10 mA cm −2 for HER (160 mV) and OER (240 mV) in 1.0 M KOH, respectively, and its catalytic activity is maintained for at least 20 h. Moreover, water electrolysis using this catalyst achieves high water splitting current density of 10 mA cm −2 at cell voltage of 1.68 V.

A novel copper and iron doped containing chitosan and heparin sodium carbon dots (CS-Cu,Fe/HS) nanozyme was formulated through a single-step microwave digestion method. CS-Cu,Fe/HS exhibits excellent peroxidase (POD)-like activity and positive charge characteristics, and it can oxidize the negatively charged 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) in the presence of H 2 O 2 to produce a green compound (ox-ABTS). Furthermore, CS-Cu,Fe/HS enhances electron transfer and provides additional active sites through the valence state transformations of Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ and Cu 2+ /Cu + . Interestingly, the POD-like activity of CS-Cu,Fe/HS is inhibited with the introduction of ampicillin (AMP), which may be because the Cu and Fe ions in CS-Cu,Fe/HS form complexes with AMP, leading to changes in the structure or surface properties of the nanozyme, thereby reducing the number of active sites on the nanozyme. Drawing from this, a straightforward and reliable colorimetric sensor was constructed for AMP detection, featuring a linear range of 0.033 to 110 μg/mL and a detection limit as low as 11.6 ng/mL. The proposed detection method for AMP performed well in real samples, with recoveries ranging from 94.8% to 110.2%. Graphical abstract

Replacement of expensive and rare platinum with metal–nitrogen–carbon catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions in proton exchange membrane fuel cells is hindered by their inferior activity. Herein, we report a highly active iron-nitrogen-carbon catalyst by optimizing the carbon structure and coordination environments of Fe-N 4 sites. A critical high-temperature treatment with ammonium chloride and ammonium bromide not only enhances the intrinsic activity and density of Fe-N 4 sites, but also introduces numerous defects, trace Br ions and creates mesopores in the carbon framework. Notably, surface Br ions significantly improve the interaction between the ionomer and catalyst particles, promoting ionomer infiltration and optimizing the O 2 transport and charge transfer at triple-phase boundary. This catalyst delivers a high peak power density of 1.86 W cm −2 and 54 mA cm −2 at 0.9 V iR-free in a H 2 -O 2 fuel cells at 80 °C. Our findings highlight the critical role of interface microenvironment regulation.

An aptasensor with dual-outputs was developed for malathion detection. Fe-MOF was synthesized to design favorable signal probes for catalytic amplification. Owing to the excellent peroxidase-like activity of Fe-MOF, the redox reaction was catalyzed to produce the dual-outputs of colorimetric and electrochemical. In this sensing strategy, malathion was captured by the aptamer on sensing interface, leading to the release of signal probe. Thanks to the catalytic amplification of Fe-MOF and the high capture effect of aptamer, the aptasensor produced a sensitive response for malathion. Based on the dual-signals of absorbance and current, the detection method for malathion was developed ranging from 10 ng/mL to 500 ng/mL. The detection limit of malathion was 5.8 ng/mL for colorimetric output and 4.6 ng/mL for electrochemical output. Furthermore, the aptasensor exhibited high specificity and good repeatability in malathion detection. Finally, the aptasensor was applied to detect malathion in fruit and vegetable samples with satisfactory recovery.

The conversion of nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) into NH3by photocatalysis under ambient conditions has been considered an environmentally friendly strategy. However, developing effective catalysts for N2fixation is still challenging. Herein, we report a bimetallic JH Fe, Co/TiO2derived from NH2-MIL-125(Ti) by the fast Joule heating (FJH) method for visible–light–driven catalytic N2fixation. It was found that the photocatalytic N2reduction efficiency of bimetallic FC@TiO2-JH was improved, enabling an NH3yield rate of 110.14 µmol g−1h−1without any sacrificial agents. Furthermore, the rate was higher than those of Fe@TiO2-JH and Co@TiO2-JH, suggesting that the synergistic effect between Fe and Co broke the electronic equilibrium and increased the center of its d-band, enhancing electronic feedback to the antibonding π* orbitals of N2while weakening the bonding energy of N≡N. Meanwhile, the rate was about 2.75 times higher than that of FC@TiO2-TF, which was calcined in a tube furnace. It is assumed that FJH might lead to the formation of lattice defects, leading to localized charge deficiency, enhanced carrier separation, and transport. Thus, doping of Fe and Co synergistically interacted with the defects produced from FJH, facilitating the photocatalytic reduction process. As detected, it had a greater ability to separate hole–electron pairs and transferred electrons to adsorbed N2at faster rates. Our work demonstrates a prospective strategy for designing bimetallic catalysts derived from NH2-MIL-125(Ti) for N2fixation.

The timely detection of freshness changes of aquatic products is crucial. In this study, we have developed a reliable, cost-effective, and user-friendly method for rapidly detecting hypoxanthine using a xanthine oxidase (XOD)/nanozyme enzymatic cascade system. The nanozyme, derived from the Fe 7 /Ni 3 metal–organic framework (Fe 7 Ni 3 MOF), exhibited good peroxidase-mimetic activity and stability. Our proposed XOD/Fe 7 Ni 3 MOF enzymatic cascade system demonstrated a linear response to hypoxanthine in the range of 3–70 μM, with a low detection limit of 1.39 μM. We also analyzed hypoxanthine in actual aquatic products, achieving spiked recoveries ranging from 90.04 % to 107.37 %. The correlation coefficient between our developed colorimetric method and the HPLC method was 0.98. Importantly, our proposed method holds several advantages over alternative techniques, particularly in terms of cost-effectiveness, precision, and speed. Consequently, this methodology shows great promise for the early detection of freshness changes in aquatic samples.

Nickel-iron based (Ni-Fe) catalysts are widely used in the electrolysis of water due to their high activity and low cost. However, the development of highly active non-precious metal catalysts is still a great challenge. Herein, self-supported nickel–iron phosphide is fabricated through a sulfurization/phosphorization approach (Ni-Fe-P-S-1/Ni-Fe-P-S-2). The prepared catalysts show excellent catalytic performance and stability. The HER performance of Ni-Fe-P-S-1 reaches 500 mA cm −2 with small overpotentials of 289 mV in alkaline freshwater. Meanwhile, the Ni-Fe-P-S-2 requires 312 and 375 mV to reach 500 mA cm −2 in alkaline freshwater and alkaline seawater for OER. Remarkably, at the current density of 500 mA cm −2 , the Ni-Fe-P-S-1||Ni-Fe-P-S-2 electrolyzer requires only 1.85 V in alkaline. Interestingly, sustainable energies can power the electrolyzer effectively. The work provides methods for potentially promising and cost-effective electrocatalysts.
