NiFe-based materials, especially NiFe layered double hydroxides (LDHs), are recognized as the most promising non-precious metal electrocatalysts for alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the precisely designed distribution of active sites for enhancing activities is still significantly restricted due to the lack of reasonable modulation strategies. Herein, sulfur doped Ni/Fe gradient-distributed LDH (GD-NiFe LDH/S) is fabricated by facile air-induced strategy at room temperature. This strategy accelerates the growth process with abundant CO 2 and O 2 in air, which promotes the inward migration of Fe species, resulting in gradient distribution with Ni/Fe-rich edge/planar. This allows significant enhancement of Ni/Fe synergistic effect, which plays a vital role in OER. Moreover, the sharp pine-like morphology of GD-NiFe LDH/S endows superhydrophilicity/aerophobicity characteristics, facilitating electrolyte penetrating and oxygen releasing. The optimized GD-NiFe LDH/S delivers superior OER performance with low overpotentials of 234 and 270 mV at 10 and 100 mA cm −2 . The assembled anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer only requires 1.90 V at 1.0 A cm −2 and 2.10 V at 1.5 A cm −2 with robust stability for at least 130 h. This work introduces a facile air-induced strategy under room temperature to controllably design active site distributions of LDH for enhanced OER performance.

By encapsulating nanoscale particles of goethite (α-FeO(OH)), hydrous ceric oxide (CeO 2 ·H 2 O, HCO) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the pores of polystyrene anion exchanger D201, a novel nanocomposite FeO(OH)-HCO-Ag-D201 was prepared for the effective removal of arsenic from water. The isotherm study shows that FeO(OH)-HCO-Ag-D201 has excellent adsorption performance for As(III) and As(V), with an increased adsorption capacity of As(III) to 40.12 mg/g compared to that of 22.03 mg/g by the composite adsorbent without AgNPs (FeO(OH)-HCO-D201). The adsorption kinetics data showed that the sorption rate of FeO(OH)-HCO-Ag-D201 for As(III) is less than that for As(V), and the adsorption of As(III) and As(V) were consistent with the pseudo-second-order model and the pseudo-first-order model, respectively. Neutral or basic conditions are favored for the adsorption of As(III/V) by FeO(OH)-HCO-Ag-D201. Compared with nitrate/chloride/bicarbonate, sulfate/silicate/phosphate showed more remarkable inhibition of arsenic removal by FeO(OH)-HCO-Ag-D201, whereas natural organic matter showed no interference to the arsenic removal. The As(V) adsorption involved different interactions such as electrostatic attraction and surface complexation, while the adsorption of As(III) involved the part oxidization of As(III) to As(V) and the simultaneous adsorption of As(III) and As(V). In addition to the Ce(IV) in CeO 2 ·H 2 O acted as an oxidant, the synergistic effect of α-FeO(OH) and AgNPs also contributed to the oxidization of As(III) to As(V). Moreover, the reusable property suggested that this FeO(OH)-HCO-Ag-D201 nanocomposite has great potential for arsenic-contaminated water purification.

The large-scale application of water electrolysis technology is limited by the slow kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) that cause vast energy loss. Rational design and construction of hierarchical heterostructures are helpful for developing efficient OER electrocatalysts due to their interesting morphological features and electrochemical properties. Herein, we prepared hierarchical CoS 2 @(Fe,Ni)S 2 heterostructures on carbon fiber paper (CoS 2 @(Fe,Ni)S 2 /CFP) with particle-on-wire morphology using prussian blue analogue as template and precursor. The unique hierarchical heterostructure maximizes accessible active sites and the synergistic effect between different components significantly improves electrocatalytic activity. Impressively, CoS 2 @(Fe,Ni)S 2 /CFP electrocatalyst requires a small overpotential of 237 mV to achieve a current density of 20 mA cm −2 with a low Tafel slope of 54 mV dec −1 and the corresponding voltage has no obvious change after 60 h stability test under a constant current density of 50 mA cm −2 in 1 M KOH solution. This work provides a new idea for the design of efficient and stable non-noble metal-based OER electrocatalysts.

Fluorescent silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have application prospects in cell imaging, optoelectronic devices, and ion detection due to their excellent optical properties, low cytotoxicity, and diverse array of surface modification methods. However, their low product yield using current preparation processes limits their further development. In this study, a high-yield one-step microwave hydrothermal synthesis method of fluorescent silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) was developed using 3-thiocyanopropyl triethoxysilane (3-TCPTES) as the silicon source and sodium citrate as the reductant. The product yield was 91.1 %, and the quantum yield (QY) was 49.1 %. In addition, the mechanism of SiNPs fluorescence quenching by different ions was analyzed, and the quenching contribution ratio of different mechanisms was estimated. The results showed that this method greatly improved the yield of SiNPs while maintaining their excellent luminescent properties and low cytotoxicity, which provides a new method for the large-scale production of high-quality SiNPs. The unique functional group structure on the surface of SiNPs realized fluorescence quenching by changing the proportion of Fe 3+ and Hg 2+ ions via static quenching, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, and aggregation-caused quenching, giving them potential applications as fluorescent probes.

The iron-based metal–organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) NH2-MIL-101(Fe) (MIL) has gained widespread attention as a drug carrier material in agriculture. In this study, a multifunctional nanocomposite, MIL@A@D@C, was successfully synthesized by loading the fungicide azoxystrobin (AZOX) and immunoinducer d-cellobiose (D) onto MIL, followed by surface modification with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The loading capacity of MIL was optimized by varying solvent conditions and the mass ratio of MIL to AZOX, revealing that ethanol as the reaction solvent and a MIL: AZOX mass ratio of 1:4 resulted in the highest loading efficiency (6.73%). MIL@A@D@C exhibited pH- and cellulase-responsive controlled release behavior. In vitro antifungal assays demonstrated that MIL@A@D@C at a low concentration of 1 ppm effectively inhibited Colletotrichum graminicola (the causal agent of maize anthracnose). Foliar application experiments further confirmed that the composite formulation achieved significant inhibition at a low dosage of 10 ppm, outperforming commercial azoxystrobin products. Plant and animal safety assessments indicated that MIL@A@D@C possessed enhanced biosafety. These findings highlight the potential of MIL@A@D@C as an environmentally friendly and highly effective nanodelivery system for crop disease management.

Fe–porphyrin/g-C3N4composites have emerged as promising visible-light photocatalysts, but their performance remains limited by inefficient charge separation and low reactive oxygen species (ROS) yield. Here, iron–tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (Fe–TCPP) was coupled with g-C3N4nanotubes (CNNTs) via a facile self-assembly strategy, creating a morphology-coordinated system. Comprehensive characterization (XRD, FTIR, SEM/TEM, BET, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance, PL, XPS, and EPR) confirmed the structural integrity, electronic coupling, and ROS generation capability of the composites. Fe–TCPP incorporation narrowed the bandgap from 2.78 to 2.56 eV, prolonged the average carrier lifetime from 6.3 to 7.5 ns, and significantly enhanced the generation of •OH and1O2. The optimized 1 wt% Fe–TCPP@CNNTs achieved complete Rhodamine B degradation within 30 min under visible light, with the highest two-stage apparent rate constants (k1= 0.0964 min−1, k2= 0.328 min−1). In addition, the hybrids retained over 90% activity after six consecutive runs, confirming their stability and recyclability. The synergistic effect of Fe–N coordination and nanotubular architecture thus promotes light harvesting, charge separation, and ROS utilization, offering a promising design principle for high-performance photocatalysts in environmental remediation.

We propose a modular synthetic strategy to constitute metallosalphen prodrugs in the form of coordination polymer nanoparticles , comprising magnetite nanocrystal colloidal cluster as core and salphen-In III coordination polymer as shell. These composite nanoparticles are not only equipped with intense photoluminescence , sensitive magnetic responsiveness and pH-dependent degradability, but also serve as prodrugs to accomplish intercellular conversion from non-toxic nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @Salphen-In III ) to pharmacologically active complexes (Fe–salphen), allowing to specifically inhibit the proliferation of A549 cancer cells via caspase activation.

The porous iron-based metal organic frameworks (NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe)), which consists of 2-amino benzene dicarboxylic acid (H 2 BDC-NH 2 ) and ferrous ions were synthesized through one-step hydrothermal method. The surface area and pore volume of as-synthesized NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) were 66.48 m 2 /g and 0.09 cm 3 /g, respectively. The excellent photocatalytic performance endows NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) to generate hydroxyl radical ( OH), which then acting as efficiently active sites for azo dye degradation in wastewater. Meanwhile, the outstanding stability ability of NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) indicates the potential candidate for wastewater treatment.

Fe(III) is widely present in non-stoichiometric pyrrhotite (Fe1−xS, 0 < x < 0.125); however, its role in determining the catalytic activity of Fe1−xS remains unclear. Herein, Fe1−xS with varying Fe(III) were prepared via the sulfidation of goethite and the pyrolysis of pyrite at different temperatures, respectively, and subsequently employed to activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) for tetracycline (TC) removal. A combination of characterization and chemical analysis revealed that the Fe(III) content in sulfurized Fe1−xS and pyrolytic Fe1−xS decreased linearly with increasing sulfidation temperature (R2= 0.9875) and calcination temperature (R2= 0.9665), respectively. Electrochemical and zeta potential measurements showed that both the electron-transfer capability and surface electronegativity of Fe1−xS increased with increasing Fe(III) content. Importantly, in the Fe1−xS/PDS system, the Fe(III) content in sulfurized Fe1−xS and pyrolytic Fe1−xS was positively correlated with the second-order reaction rate constant (k2, R2= 0.9276) and first-order reaction rate constant (k1, R2= 0.9741) for TC removal, respectively, suggesting a clear structure-activity relationship between Fe(III) content and catalytic activity. Meanwhile, Fe release, reactive oxygen species (ROSs) generation, and PDS consumption increased with increasing Fe(III) content in Fe1−xS. In addition, sulfurized Fe1−xS and pyrolytic Fe1−xS show a wide pH operating range and moderate reusability. These findings provide valuable insights into the rational design of Fe1−xS-based catalysts for advanced oxidation processes to remove refractory organic pollutants.

A direct hydrothermal synthesis strategy is developed to prepare the Cu–Fe-ZSM-5 zeolites by using the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium dihydrate (EDTA-2Na·2H 2 O) chelated Cu 2+ and Fe 3+ precursors as metal sources. During the crystallization, the metal chelates were spontaneously embedded into the ZSM-5 crystals and subsequently transformed to the zeolites encapsulated copper and iron species after removing the chelating agent via the high-temperature calcination . Rigorous characterizations indicate that the resulted Cu 2+ /Cu + and Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ species are formed ultra-small nano-composites with an average diameter of ∼2.2 nm and highly dispersed in the ZSM-5 zeolite crystals. The acidity of the ZSM-5 zeolites is subtly modulated by the encapsulated Cu–Fe nano-composite. As expected, the as-prepared Cu–Fe-ZSM-5 exhibits outstanding catalytic performance for the selective catalytic reduction of NO x with ammonia (NH 3 -SCR) in the broad reaction temperature ranges of 220–480 °C, which is much better than the Cu–Fe/ZSM-5 prepared with the conventional wetness impregnation method. Furthermore, the resultant zeolites show high stability and good tolerance to H 2 O and SO 2 , and it is very competitive for practical application to eliminate NO x . The developed one-pot hydrothermal synthesis route by using EDTA-2Na·2H 2 O as chelating agent is very convenient and easily reproducible, providing a general guideline to design and fabricate the superior transition metal modified zeolite catalysts for NH 3 -SCR and the related reactions.

In this study, five salts containing the same anion fac-[FeII(CO)3I3]− were prepared through the reaction of cis-[Fe(CO)4I2] with organic amines whose protonated forms, i.e., (EtNH3+), (PrNH3+), (BuNH3+), (PentNH3+), and (Et2NH2+), become the cations of the salts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. These aminium salts, which are soluble in water and polar organic solvents such as DMSO and methanol, were characterized by various techniques including X-ray single-crystal diffraction. These salts underwent solvolysis in both water and DMSO to release CO, following first-order kinetics. In DMSO, the decomposition of these salts proceeded via a significantly simpler mechanism without the involvement of radicals than that in water, and the CO-release rate of these salts was almost linearly related to the hydrophobicity (the logarithm of the oil/water partition coefficient P) of the amines. The CO-release rate was substantially faster in water and in addition to undergoing solvolysis, the anions generated an iodine radical, I˙. Due to the complicated decomposition of these salts in water, the CO-release proceeded in a two-stage manner. The iodine radical was found to be at least partly responsible for the cytotoxicity of these salts in water; this indicates that the proposed anion has potential for applications in cancer therapy.
