A method to upgrade the iron grade in copper slag was proposed using lime to decompose Al 2 O 3 -containing fayalite melt (AFMT). Thermodynamic calculations indicated that adjusting the CaO/AFMT ratio can yield a residual melt with a FeO concentration of 75-88 wt.% and produce Ca 2 SiO 4 . In-situ observations suggested that the reaction was impeded in some way. Quenching experiments revealed that the initial reaction products consisted of calcium ferrite compounds and FeO-CaO melt. At the FeO-CaO melt/AFMT interface, Ca 2 SiO 4 particles precipitated, forming a dense Ca 2 SiO 4 film that significantly impeded mass transfer. Although trace amounts of Al 2 O 3 in AFMT temporarily enhanced mass transfer, they were insufficient to overcome this retardation effect. The decomposition reaction was far from achieving equilibrium, demonstrating a self-retardation effect. Measures must be implemented to eliminate this self-retardation effect and enhance the efficiency of reaction kinetics.

High-entropy alloys, as a novel type of absorber, exhibit exceptional electromagnetic modulation capabilities and significant potential for electromagnetic wave absorption. In this work, the FeCoNiCrMn high-entropy alloy absorbent prepared through a mechanical alloying process demonstrates a dual-phase solid solution structure comprising face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) phases. By varying the manganese (Mn) content in the system, it is possible to enhance the degree of crystallinity, maintain the integrity of the crystal structure, and effectively control the relative proportion of the BCC phase within the overall phase composition. This adjustment improves the brittleness of the sheet-like particles, reduces particle size, and significantly lowers the permittivity. When the molar ratio of Mn is 0.6, the sample exhibits improved impedance matching due to the optimal permittivity and permeability. Notably, the impedance matching and attenuation constant can also be balanced. At 6.42 GHz, the FeCoNiCr 0.4 Mn 0.6 alloy powder achieves the maximum reflection loss of −48.49 dB at a matching layer thickness of 3 mm. When the matching thickness is reduced to 2 mm, it can effectively cover a frequency range of 8.7–14.1 GHz (effective absorption bandwidth of 5.4 GHz), along with a wide absorption bandwidth and high absorption efficiency.

As a remarkable alternative anode to commercial graphite for the next-generation high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), silicon (Si) has attracted tremendous attention due to its high specific capacity. However, the enormous volume expansions/contractions during the charge/discharge limited its practical application in LIBs greatly. To solve these issues, herein, we fabricated a low-cost FeSi intermetallic compound (FeSi 2 ) by the ball milling with photovoltaic industrial waste micron-sized Si and Fe powders as raw materials and encapsulated it by N, S, O-doped mesoporous carbon with polyvinylpyrrolidone as C, N, O precursor and (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 as template and pore-introducing agent. Owing to the presence of FeSi 2 , abundant meso-pores for mitigating Si and FeSi 2 expansion and the N, S, O-doped mesoporous carbon for facilitating lithium-ion transport and electron conduction, one as-prepared FeSi 2 /N, S, O-doped mesoporous carbon composite anode (FeSiA 1 @C) showed a high specific capacity of 401.7 mAh g −1 even at 1.0 A g −1 after 1600 cycles. More impressively, the assembled LiFePO 4 || 20 % FeSiA 1 @C/80 % commercial graphite full cell presented a high energy density of ca. 312.0 Wh kg −1 and a capacity retention of ca. 80 % after 500 cycles, demonstrating a promising practical applicability of FeSiA 1 @C anode, and showing a new way for the high-value utilization of industrial waste micron-sized Si for LIBs.

Aqueous iron-ion batteries with reversible storage of Fe 2+ have undergone rapid development in recent years. Consistently throughout these studies, metallic iron is selected as the anode material. However, the large overpotential (250 mV) associated with the plating/stripping process of iron in aqueous solutions leads to unsatisfactory energy efficiency of the battery, although high capacity and Coulomb efficiency can be achieved. Herein, an iron-free anode material, 9,10-anthraquinone (AQ) is proposed in aqueous iron-ion batteries, which shows a low reaction potential and minimal polarization during storing iron ions. The organic anode exhibits favorable specific capacity of 106 mAh g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 and excellent cycling stability (92.6% retention after 500 cycles). In addition, an aqueous full iron-ion battery is constructed using AQ as the anode and 9,10-phenanthraquinone (PQ) as the cathode. The full battery demonstrates an enhanced energy efficiency of 72%, which is 206% higher than that of metal iron anode, and shows excellent cycling stability and Coulombic efficiency. This work provides a viable route to overcome the high polarization of metallic iron anode and promote the development of aqueous iron-ion batteries.

Fe/Cu bimetallic catalysts have a synergistic effect that can effectively enhance catalytic activity, so Fe/Cu bimetallic catalysts have been extensively studied. However, the efficacy and mechanisms of Fe/Cu bimetallic catalysts’ peroxidation activation have rarely been explored. In this study, Fe/Cu bimetallic materials were fabricated to catalyze different oxidizing agents, including peroxymonosulfate (PMS), peroxydisulfate (PDS), peroxyacetic acid (PAA), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), for the degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The Fe/Cu/oxidant systems exhibited an excellent degradation efficiency of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). In the Fe/Cu/PMS, Fe/Cu/PDS, and Fe/Cu/PAA systems, the main reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsible for SMX degradation were hydroxyl radical (•OH) and singlet oxygen (1O2), while the main ROS was only•OH in the H2O2system. The differences in the surface structure of the materials before and after oxidation were examined, revealing the presence of a large amount of flocculent material on the surface of the oxidized PMS material. Anion experiments and actual body experiments also revealed that the PMS system had a strong anti-interference ability. Finally, a comprehensive comparison concluded that the PMS system was the optimal system among the four oxidation systems. Overall, this work revealed that the PMS oxidant has a better catalytic degradation of SMX compared to other oxidizers for Fe/Cu, that PMS generates more ROS, and that the PMS system has a stronger resistance to interference.

Hypothesis Perfluorocarbon is commonly used as a coolant, chemical reaction carrier solvent, medical anti-hypoxic agents and blood substitutes. The realization of non-contact complex manipulation of perfluorocarbon liquids is urgently needed in human life and industrial production. However, most liquid-repellent interfaces are ineffective for the transport of ultra-low surface tension perfluorocarbon liquids, and struggle to maintain good durability due to unstable air or oil cushions in the surface. Therefore, preparing surfaces for stable non-contact complex manipulation of ultra-low surface tension droplets remains a challenge. Experiments In this paper, a novel solution, a photothermal responsive droplet manipulation surface based on polydimethylsiloxane brushes, has been reported. On this surface, droplets with different surface tensions (as low as 10 mN/m) can be efficiently manipulated through induced near-infrared light. Notably, this surface maintains its effectiveness after exposure to extreme anthropogenic conditions. Findings The interface effect between perfluorocarbon droplets and polydimethylsiloxane brushes by near-infrared light-induced was investigated in detail. In addition, ultra-low surface tension droplets demonstrate the ability to transport solid particles. The conductive droplets exhibit sophisticated manipulation realizing the controlled switching of smart circuits. This research opens up new possibilities for advancing the capabilities and adaptability of ultralow surface tension droplets in a range of applications.

Lattice engineering of Fe 0 based on heteroatom doping holds great promise in water purification owing to their tunable geometric and electronic structure. However, there is limited understanding of how nitrogen atom in Fe 0 lattice structure affects its local microenvironment and corresponding reactivity toward target contaminants. Herein, microscale zero-valent iron with interstitial N doping (N-mZVI) was successfully prepared by a facile mechanochemical method for heavy metal pollution control. N-mZVI exhibited excellent reactivity for Cr(VI) elimination, and both removal efficiency and conversion rate could reach 100 %, which was 8.06 and 2.73 times higher than that of pristine ball milled mZVI, respectively. Besides, the rate constant of various heavy metals sequestration (Cr(VI), Ni(II), Pb(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II)) over N-mZVI was 61.3 ∼ 115.6-fold faster than that of pristine ball milled mZVI. N-mZVI was also demonstrated to be pH-universal, long-term stability, and environmental applicability. Experimental results and theoretical calculations indicated that tensile strain induced by interstitial N doping expanded Fe 0 lattice and weakened the lattice Fe-Fe interaction, thus significantly accelerating electron transport dynamics in Fe 0 core. Meanwhile, iron nitride species on the surface of N-mZVI promoted electron transfer from iron shell layer to heavy metals. This work comprehensively investigates the structure–property relationships of lattice engineering-based N-mZVI, and provides a new insight into rational design of modified mZVI with high reactivity.

Mechanochemistry has rapidly advanced as an effective method for recovering metals from hazardous wastes due to its mild reaction conditions, while understanding the underlying mechanisms remains a significant challenge. This work investigates the mechanochemical reduction of lead compounds using iron powder at room temperature , focusing on physicochemical properties and electrochemical performance. Notable transformations were observed in the crystal structures, morphologies, and thermal stability of PbSO 4 and PbCl 2 . Electrochemical tests indicated enhanced redox reactivity, decreased reduction potential, and reduced charge transfer impedance after mechanochemical treatment . Additionally, the reduction of PbSO 4 proved more challenging than PbCl 2 under the same conditions. Our findings provide valuable insights into the management of toxic lead waste and improve the understanding of the mechanochemical effects on redox reactions , with important implications for environmental applications.

The performance optimization of zero-valent iron (ZVI) based materials for reductive dechlorination remains challenging. After extensive research on sulfidation modification, the doping of heteroatom nitrogen (N) into ZVI for reductive dechlorination of chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs) becomes a new promising trend. In this study, surface modification of microscale ZVI (mZVI) was carried out by a facile ball milling method, and Fe–N(C) coated mZVI (abbreviated as N(C)-mZVI bm ) synthesized from different N sources of dimethylimidazole, urea and melamine were characterized. The effects of nitrogen-to-iron ratios (N/Fe), ball milling time and speed on the reductive dechlorination of trichloroethylene (TCE) were further investigated. A series of characterization and mechanistic analysis showed that the high reactivity of N(C)-mZVI bm with melamine as nitrogen source (abbreviated as N(C)-mZVI bm (M)) was attributed to the properties and thickness of its particle passivation layer, and faster electron transfer from the reduced iron species to the surface layer. In addition, N(C)-mZVI bm (M) exhibited great performance for dechlorination at a wide pH range of 3 to 11, due to alleviated passivation of the Fe 0 core under alkaline conditions by Fe–N(C). This study presents new ideas and evidences for the environmentally friendly synthesis of N-modified ZVI materials and their practical application in groundwater remediation.

The widespread amines have been found to generate carcinogenic nitro-dimethylamine (NDMA) during ozonation, it's urgent to search effective methods to control its formation. This work investigated the performance and mechanisms of bimetallic organic framework (MIL-100(Fe-Mn)) on reducing NDMA production during ozonation of daminozide (DMNZD). The results demonstrated that NDMA concentration raised from 27.6 to 248.4 μg/L when ozone dosages enhanced from 0.5 to 4 mg/L; while just slightly increased from 0.9 to 3.7 μg/L when MIL-100 (Fe-Mn) was added, with a reduction rate up to 98.5 %. When catalyst dosages increased from 0 to 200 mg/L, NDMA reduction rates enhanced from 54.5 to 97.4%. Moreover, neutral conditions facilitated the exploitation of MIL-100(Fe-Mn) during ozonation. Water bodies containing high concentrations of CO 3 2− , HA, and Br − should be avoided to prevent high NDMA risk. MIL-100(Fe-Mn) enhanced the transformation of ozone molecular (O 3 ) to hydroxyl radical (·OH) other than superoxide radicals (·O 2 − ) and singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ). EPR and scavengers quenching experiments verified that ·OH played important roles in NDMA reduction. Except ·OH, hydrogen radicals (·H) were detected in catalyzed ozonation system for the first time. The results would provide new insights for NDMA risks control during ozonation.

To address the urgent need for developing carbon-neutral technologies, microbial electrosynthesis (MES), as an important contributor to the renewable energy field, can convert carbon dioxide to multi-carbon chemicals using microbes serving as living catalysts at the cathode. However, the performance of the cathode is restricted by the weak electrochemical reaction kinetics of the organisms, the specific area of the electrode, and the mass transfer under high current. Herein, we report a facile 3D-printed graphene aerogel (GA) electrode built with a nanozero-valent iron (NZVI)-functionalized graphene ink. The 3D-printed GA electrode was designed to possess hierarchical pores with an enhanced high specific surface area for microbial colonization while ensuring mass transfer. NZVI can assist in-situ hydrogen generation, facilitating biofilm formation and methane (CH 4 ) production in the indirect electron transfer pathway. Consequently, the optimized 3D-printed electrode achieved a maximum CH 4 production rate of 6993 ± 832 mmol/m 2 /d with a faradaic efficiency of 83.7%, which increased by 3.24-fold to the carbon felt electrode. In addition, integrating the proposed cathode into a PV-electrolyzer cell yielded a solar-to-CH 4 efficiency of 4.70%. This study provides a unique method for the development of advanced cathodes and underscores the potential of integrating MES with renewable energy technologies.

Pyrite-based Fenton-like processes have been extensively studied for wastewater decontamination; however, most relevant studies placed excessive emphasis on the homogeneous Fenton reaction mediated by aqueous Fe 2+ , resulting in the proposed technologies facing issues such as additional acid requirements for pH adjustment and excessive iron sludge production. Herein, through in situ shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS), custom dual-chamber reactor experiments, and a series of control experiments, significant hydroxyl radical generation was identified during the pyrite/H 2 O 2 process, while the dominant reactive iron species was verified to the structural Fe sites on the pyrite surface, rather than structural Fe(II) in secondary iron minerals and surface adsorbed Fe 2+ . Consequently, even with significant suppression of the homogeneous Fenton pathway, the pyrite/H 2 O 2 process exhibited significant degradation efficiency for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) at pH 4. Moreover, the pyrite/H 2 O 2 process was found to selectively remove 50 μM of pollutants with high affinity for pyrite (bisphenol A, carbamazepine, nitrobenzene, and SMX), even in the presence of 50–100 mM methanol. Compared to the typical iron-based reductive catalyst (zero-valent iron, ZVI), pyrite mediated a Fenton process with greater potential for practical applications at pH 4, achieving a 43.75-fold reduction in iron sludge production and almost doubling the H 2 O 2 utilization efficiency. Additionally, in contrast to ZVI, minimal iron oxide formed on the pyrite surface during the oxidation process. Thus, after seven cycles of degradation experiments, the decontamination efficiency of the pyrite/H 2 O 2 process remained stable. These findings are crucial for understanding the complex environmental behavior of pyrite in both natural and engineering processes and provide a new perspective for the efficient utilization of pyrite resources as well.
