Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a critical half-reaction in electrochemical overall water splitting and metal–air battery fields; however, the exploitation of the high activity of non-noble metal electrocatalysts to promote the intrinsic slow kinetics of OER is a vital and urgent research topic. Herein, Fe-doped Ni3S2arrays were derived from MOF precursors and directly grown on nickel foam via the traditional solvothermal way. The arrays integrated into nickel foam can be used as self-supported electrodes directly without any adhesive. Due to the synergistic effect of Fe and Ni elements in the Ni3S2structure, the optimized Fe2.3%-Ni3S2/NF electrode delivers excellent OER activity in an alkaline medium. The optimized electrode only requires a small overpotential of 233 mV to reach the current density of 10 mA cm−2, and the catalytic activity of the electrode can surpass several related electrodes reported in the literature. In addition, the long-term stability of the Fe2.3%-Ni3S2/NF electrode showed no significant attenuation after 12 h of testing at a current density of 50 mA cm−2. The introduction of Fe ions could modulate the electrical conductivity and morphology of the Ni3S2structure and thus provide a high electrochemically active area, fast reaction sites, and charge transfer rate for OER activity.

Constructing inexpensive, efficient, and stable pH-universal oxygen reduction electrocatalysts with controlled distribution of active species is of great importance for the exploration of green energy conversion devices. Herein, we demonstrated the rational preparation of S-modified Fe–N–C nanosheet catalysts with hierarchical porous architecture, large specific surface area (up to 1471 m 2 g −1 ) and controlled S doping (up to 12.3 at.%) by the co-pyrolysis of cysteine, FeCl 3 with Zn-mediated MgO template. Merited from rich and accessible active sites, the catalysts display outstanding oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity in terms of very small E j3 (potential@3 mA cm −2 , 0.87 V in 0.1 M KOH, 0.66 V in 0.1 M PBS (pH7.4) and 0.64 V in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 ) and overwhelming diffusion-limited current density (9.8, 6.1, 10.3 mA cm −2 in alkaline, neutral, acidic media, respectively), along with extremely respectable stability (∼90% activity retention for 53200, 26728, 43200 s in alkaline, neutral, acidic media, respectively), which underscore comparable or even better overall performance than commercial Pt/C and advanced pH-universal ORR catalysts ever reported. The as-assembled primary alkaline zinc–air battery delivers considerately large peak power density of 205 mW cm −2 and energy density up to 990.6 Wh kg Zn −1 at 10 mA cm −2 (115 mW cm −2 and 676.7 Wh kg Zn −1 for Pt/C-based battery), implying its highly promising application in practical energy conversion devices.

Exogenous ferrous ion dosing allows depassivation of aged zerovalent iron (ZVI) for industrial wastewater treatment, while sustaining the persistent existence of Fe(II) species for continuous depassivation throughout decontamination remains challenging. To tackle this dilemma, pre-oxidized microscale ZVI (poZVI bm ) is proposed via ball milling with peroxydisulfate (PDS) solids, for tailoring an “continuous self-driven depassivation” scenario with Fe 0 /Fe(II) symbiosis. The poZVI bm exhibits a 4.4 ∼ 19.0 times higher equilibrated adsorption capacity for hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) than the referenced ball milled ZVI (ZVI bm ) and other benchmarked mZVI composites (e.g. oxalated ZVI bm , sulfidized ZVI bm , and nanoscale ZVI), following a chemisorption-reduction process. It also demonstrates a 4.5 ∼ 18.7 folds faster surface area-normalized removal rate for nitrobenzene (NB) than all these counterparts, mediated by reductive transformation. Cr(VI) removal and NB reduction depend on the dissolved and surface-sorbed Fe(II), respectively, which can be optimized by regulating pre-oxidation degree of poZVI bm . The “continuous self-driven depassivation” of poZVI bm starts with the local microenvironment acidification due to the adsorption of abundant dissolvable Fe(II) over surface-located Fe(III), which drives continuous dissolution of Fe 0 core to create more reactive Fe(II), and therefore repeats the above procedure. Owing to wide pH adaptability (pH 3 ∼ 9) and impressive corrosion behavior of poZVI bm , these findings inspire the intimate integration of Fe 0 /Fe(II) component for high-efficient remediation of multicomponent industrial wastewater.

It has been reported that the ultrasonic agitation coupled system (US/A) has higher oxidation efficiency than the pure ultrasonic system (US), and the atomic hydrogen ( H) and hydroxyl radicals ( OH) produced by H 2 O cracking and in situ hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) can be significantly detected. In order to utilize the residual H 2 O 2 and explore the role and fate of H, US/A/Fe(III) as an in situ Fenton oxidation system, was constructed in this study. The experimental results proved that the system can generate H 2 O 2 in situ , and adding Fe(III) could significantly promote the oxidation of refractory organic pollutants. Quenching tests, probes experiments and EPR test were performed to successfully monitor the existence of OH. The contribution of H to Fe(III) reduction was speculated and confirmed. In addition, the kinetic model showed the decomposition rate of water molecule and the reduction rate of Fe(III) by H under different ultrasonic power. The effects of the factors (pH, coexisting substance, and actual water environment) on degrading organic pollutants were evaluated. Therefore, this work provides new strategy and mechanistic insight into in situ Fenton technique by coupling ultrasonic agitation and Fe(III) without external oxidants.

Microwave heating (MW) is known for its efficacy in promoting transesterification for biodiesel production. However, the microwave-induced catalysis, linked to catalyst absorbing capability, remains poorly understood. Herein, a class of alkaline catalysts with strong microwave absorption were synthesized, validating their positive impact on transesterification. Various methods were used to reveal the relationship between microwave absorbing capacity and physicochemical properties of the synthesized catalyst (KF/Mg-MIL). Results indicated the previously recognized basicity’s role for KF/Mg-MIL was surpassed by microwave absorbing capability (permittivity and permeability) in MW (2.45 GHz). KF/Mg-MIL, with ε r = 4.94′- j 1.09″ and μ r = 1.03′- j 0.024″, efficiently transformed microwave into thermal energy via the dielectric loss and magnetic loss, saving 50 % energy consumption and reducing 1051.61 kg CO 2 for per ton biodiesel compared to water bath heating (WB). Notably, “non-thermal” effect was observed with KF/Mg-MIL in MW, which reduced activation energy by 2.49 kJ/mol and increased the frequency factor by 793.32 min −1 in comparison to WB.

Transition metal selenides (TMS) have been used to prepare hundreds of electrode materials for ion batteries due to their superior theoretical capacity, but have been repeatedly limited by the sluggish reaction kinetics and the enormous volume change during the repeated charge/discharge process. Here, we report a facile strategy to fabricate organic–inorganic composites by engineering a unique chemical bonding interface between TMS and conductive polymers. For the first time, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is utilized to encapsulate iron diselenide (FeSe 2 ) nanoparticles by in situ polymerization, and the Fe-S bonds are meanwhile formed at the interface of FeSe 2 and PEDOT. The experimental analysis demonstrates the stability of Fe-S bonds during the sodiation/desodiation process and after long cycling, which can serve as a “bridge” for fast charge transfer and also serve as a “rivet” to stabilize the composite structure. When used for sodium ion storage, the composite offers an exceptionally long lifetime of up to 17,000 loops at 10 A/g without capacity degradation. In addition, it delivers a high specific capacity of 490.4 mAh/g and retains 60 % when the current density is amplified 150 times. The assembled full cell also exhibits excellent cycling stability. This work will provide a feasible way to improve the metal oxide/sulfide/selenides for long-life ion batteries.

Sulfite oxidation is critical for the stable operation of desulfurization process and the treatment & recovery of desulfurization by-products. The Fe and Co oxides modified super hydrophobic layer was prepared on tubular ceramic membranes using hydrothermal synthesis and surface modifications to realize the combination of the membrane catalysis and membrane aeration. These two oxides were approximately two-layer distributed on the membrane surface, among which the Fe 2 O 3 located in the bottom layer and the Co 3 O 4 located in the upper layer. The catalytic rate of the bifunctional membrane was about 5.8 times than that of the original ceramic membrane, which was decreased with the increasing of Fe/Co ratio and declined after an initial rise with the increase of urea and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The conjoint effect of Fe and Co could improve the catalytic performance and reduce the dissolution loss of catalyzer. The oxidation rate tended to be constant after a 15 % decrease in 7 times experiments.

The construction of NiFe-based composites on foam metal is an advanced strategy to design high-performance catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we chose Fe foam (FF) as the substrate, which was first modified by anodic electrodeposition to form a porous and loose FeS x / FeO x layer. This modified layer facilitates the construction of nanoflower-structured NiFeS 2 /NiFe 2 O 4 composites with large electrochemical active surface area, higher Ni content and enhanced ratio of Ni 3 + to Ni 2+ , compared with the sample fabricated by direct etching FF. The prepared NiFeS 2 /NiFe 2 O 4 /FF electrode only requires overpotentials of 242 and 273 mV to achieve current densities of 100 and 500 mA cm⁻ 2 for OER, respectively. It also possesses faster reaction kinetics with a low Tafel slope of 31.12 mV dec −1 and superior durability without potential reduction for 200 h at a large current density of 500 mA cm⁻ 2 . Meanwhile, the performance of overall water splitting cell assembled with NiFeS 2 /NiFe 2 O 4 /FF is better than that of cell based on the noble metal Pt/C/FF- |RuO 2 /FF. This work provides a simple and cost-effective strategy for constructing efficient electrocatalysts, making it promising for large-scale industrial applications in alkaline water electrolysis.

Engineering interface, regulating morphology, and doping heteroatoms are regarded as effective strategies for boosting the electrocatalytic performances of transition-metal phosphides (TMPs), while still encounter some challenges to obtain desirable stability and sustaining catalytic activity. Herein, the Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 self-supported electrode was successfully synthesized via pyrolysis of FeNi/ZIF-67/CC precursors followed by phosphating. In this structure, Fe-doped CoP and Ni 2 P composite nanoparticles are uniformly confined in the porous carbon matrix and anchored firmly on the surface of carbon cloth (CC). Moreover, the flocculent-like Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 demonstrates superhydrophilicity to significantly facilitate mass transfer, while the unique morphology originates from a facile strategy of soaking ZIF-67/CC in the mixed solution composed of FeSO 4 and NiSO 4 . The synthesized Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 integrates the advantages of abundant active sites, confinement effect, interface regulation and superhydrophilicity, thereby demonstrating superior HER and OER activities and stabilities in an alkaline medium (1.0 M KOH). Remarkably, Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 electrodes used both as anode and cathode require a cell voltage of only 1.49 V at 10 mA cm −2 , much lower than that of the well-established 20 % Pt-C/CC and RuO 2 /CC couple (1.612 V). Besides, Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 system exhibits an outstanding stability for monitoring water splitting up to 100 h at 10 mA cm −2 . DFT results further confirm that the heterointerface and Fe doping in Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 lead to a upshift d-band center of active sites and decreased reaction Gibbs energy barrier for the rate-determining step during catalysis, thereby contributing to the superior HER and OER activities. The work provides a novel strategy to construct a superhydrophilic microstructure, and the synergistic effect of electrons originating from the heterointerface and doping paves the way for designing electrocatalysts with high activities toward water splitting.

Malathion (MA) is a widely used organophosphorus pesticide globally. Developing efficient photocatalysts is crucial for eliminating MA pollution in water by photocatalytic technology. This study focuses on preparing a series of H-PDI supermolecule/NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) (PM) materials by amidating NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) with the more stable H-PDI supermolecule, forming a covalent O C–NH bond. Among these materials, 40 %PM (indicating a mass percentage content of 40 % H-PDI supermolecule in PM) exhibited the best performance for degradation of MA. Under simulated sunlight irradiation of a 10 mg·L 1 MA solution for 180 min, the reaction rate constants of 40 %PM were 5.95 times and 3.13 times higher than those of NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) and H-PDI supermolecule, respectively. The enhanced performance is attributed to the formation of Z-scheme heterojunctions in the 40 %PM composite lead to fast separation of photogenerated e − and h + . Combining the results of HPLC-MS with Fukui Function, the HOMO, LUMO, and pathway of degradation of MA attracted by 1 O 2 , •OH, and h + were speculated. The pathway involves oxidation, demethylation, P-S bond breakage, decarboxylation, and final conversion to some inorganic molecules. The toxicity of the degradation byproducts were lower than that of MA estimated by Toxicity Estimation Software Tool.

A novel Fe-N 2 O 1 S 1 single-atom catalyst (Fe SA -NS-Ti 3 C 2 T x ) was developed for dual activation of ultra-low concentration peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and dissolved oxygen in wastewater treatment. The catalyst was synthesized via a multivariate heteroatom doping strategy using transition metal salt solution and thiourea on Ti 3 C 2 T x . Under 0.1 mM PMS, the Fe SA -NS-Ti 3 C 2 T x achieved 100 % acetaminophen (20 μM) removal within 6 min, with a K c mp of 889.77 min −1 g −2 L 2 and a turnover frequency over two orders of magnitude higher than homogeneous Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ and iron oxides. Mechanistic analysis and theoretical calculations showed that the asymmetric Fe-N 2 O 1 S 1 site optimizes the generation of ·O 2 − and 1 O 2 , efficiently removing ACE through deacetylation and electrophilic attack on the benzene ring. In the long-term tests, the iron leaching of the high-density catalytic bed is negligible, ensuring environmental safety. This study highlights a cost-effective and scalable strategy to advance PMS-based advanced oxidation technologies in wastewater treatment.

Transition metal nanomaterials are widely applied as flame retardants in materials. Herein, an oxidation-mediated strategy was developed for temporally controlling the in situ growth of Fe(OH) 3 nanoparticles on wool/nylon (W/N) fabrics. The formed particles exhibit homogeneous dispersion on the surface of W/N fabrics, with an average particle diameter of about 60 nm. These Fe(OH) 3 nanoparticles can simultaneously enhance both the flame retardancy (the limiting oxygen index increased by 18.8 % and passed the UL-94 burning test of V-0 rating) and mechanical performance (the tensile strength increased by 9.13 %) of the W/N fabrics. Meanwhile, the obtained W/N fabrics exhibit remarkable smoke-suppressant properties, demonstrating a reduction of 76.4 % and 65.5 % in smoke production rate and total smoke production, respectively, compared to the pure W/N fabrics. Furthermore, the prepared W/N fabrics exhibit good durability. This innovative strategy may be also extended for synthesizing other nanomaterials and pave a new path to develop high-performance flame-retardant materials.
