Capturing and utilization of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) not only leads to effective use of carbon resources, but also alleviates environmental pollution caused by increasing concentration of CO 2 , thus making it a hot research topic in recent years. In this study, a series of highly dispersed iron-cobalt (Fe-Co) catalysts was prepared by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-2Na) modification, which could efficiently convert CO 2 into high value-added chemicals (C 2 -C 4 = and C 5 -C 11 ). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the addition of a small amount of Co and EDTA-2Na contributed to enhance the sintering resistance of Fe species. During the calcination process, EDTA 4− can be decomposed into small organic molecules with reducibility, thus promoting the reduction of iron species. The CO temperature-programmed desorption (CO-TPD) results showed that cobalt enhanced the adsorption and activation of intermediate CO on Na x Fe-Co catalyst, thereby promoting the catalytic conversion of CO 2 . The complexation of EDTA promotes the synergistic effect of Fe-Co bimetals, enhances the chemical adsorption of CO 2 . Sodium in EDTA-2Na promotes the surface basicity of the catalysts, which is favored for improving the product distribution of hydrocarbons. At lower H 2 /CO 2 (1/1) ratio, the EDTA-2Na modified Fe-Co/Al 2 O 3 catalyst exhibited high conversion of CO 2 (32.8 %) and excellent selectivity toward high value-added chemicals. The selectivity of by-product CO was only 8.1 %; and C 2 -C 4 = (32.5 %) and C 5 -C 11 (46.3 %) accounted for ∼79 % selectivity among the hydrocarbons generated.

It is of great practical significance to explore and prepare cheap, high-performance, and stable catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), but it is still in progress at present. Herein, a straightforward evaporation–pyrolysis strategy is designed for the preparation of 3D porous electrocatalysts (denoted as \(\textrm{Fe}-\textrm{Co}-\textrm{NC}\) , which represented carbonization products at °C) made of carbon nanoparticles combined with metallic Fe-Co-doped N-enriched bridged carbon nanotube by carbonization of a pristine ZIF8 as highly efficient and durable ORR electrocatalysts. The obtained Fe–Co–NC structure possesses 3D open porous texture, abundant active sites, desired nitrogen bonding type, and high specific surface area, providing them with excellent ORR activity. The optimal performing \(\textrm{Fe}-\textrm{Co}-\textrm{NC}\) catalyst presents an outstanding ORR performance in terms of a high onset potential ( \(\textrm{E}_{\text{ onset } }\) ) of 0.96 V (vs. RHE) and half-wave potential ( \(\textrm{E}_{1 / 2}\) ) of 0.86 V (vs. RHE), respectively, possible to rival those of the commercially available \(\textrm{Pt} / \textrm{C}\) in an alkaline electrolyte solution. Besides, the \(\textrm{Fe}-\textrm{Co}-\textrm{NC}\) catalyst manifests better stability than those of commercially available \(\textrm{Pt} / \textrm{C}\) , which is of importance for the optimization and characterization of novel electrocatalysts originated from non-precious metals.

Lactate-intercalated Co–Fe layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were successfully prepared by coprecipitation and hydrothermal method. In this process, divalent metal ions as precursors can be obtained from the reduction reaction of lactic acid and metal powder (cobalt and ferrous). In order to obtain Fe 3+ , H 2 O 2 (30%) was used to oxidize Fe 2+ . Meanwhile, the produced lactate was intercalated into the LDHs interlayers to compensate the positively charged layers. The as-synthesized LDHs were studied by element chemical analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravitry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), TEM. The results indicated that the basal spacing value of the LDHs was larger than that of lactate-intercalated Mg–Al or Zn–Al LDHs. It proved that the lactate anions were inserted into the gallery in the form of dimers which made it easy to be delaminated in water. The obtained nanosheets were deposited on the substrates to form the film which was characterized by TEM and AFM, and infrared emissivity value (8–14 μm) was also investigated. The infrared emissivity values of Co–Fe LDHs were lower than that of Zn–Al which took advantage of the special electronic structure in Co and Fe. Besides, the orderly structure and the reduction of the interfacial deficiency of the film made the values further reduced.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been reported to be used for the illegal treatment of fishery products in order to obtain “fake” freshness. Residues of H2O2in food may be of toxicology concern. In this study, a nonenzymatic sensor was developed based on Fe@PCN-224 metal–organic frameworks wrapped by Nafion to detect H2O2concentration. The hybrid structure of Fe@PCN-224 was fabricated by incorporated free FeIIIions into the center of PCN-224, which was ultra-stable due to the strong interactions between Zr6and the carboxyl group. Scanning electron spectroscopy images exhibited that Nafion sheets crossed together on the surface of Fe@PCN-224 nanoparticles to form a hierarchical and coherent structure for efficient electron transfer. Electrochemical investigations showed that the Fe@PCN-224/Nafion/GCE possessed good linearity from 2 to 13,000 μM (including four orders of magnitude), low detection limits (0.7 μM), high stability in continuous monitoring (current remained nearly stable over 2300 s) and in long-term measurement (current decreased 3.4% for 30 days). The prepared nanohybrid modified electrode was effectively applied to H2O2detection in three different fishery products. The results were comparable to those measured using photometrical methods. The developed electrochemical method has a great potential in detecting the illegal management of fishery products with H2O2.Keywords:Fe@PCN-224;Nafion;nonenzymatic sensor;hydrogen peroxide;fishery products

Lake eutrophication leads to the excessive proliferation of cyanobacteria in aquatic environments, resulting in microcystin-LR (MCLR) concentrations exceeding regulatory limits. The associated environmental risks and health concerns attract widespread attention. As one of the most active chemical substances in aquatic environments, dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a critical role in the phototransformation of MCLR. In environments where Fe(II) and Mn(II) coexist, the phototransformation process of MCLR may be influenced. Among fulvic acid (FA), humic acid (HA), cyanobacteria-derived DOM (CDOM), and reed leaf-derived DOM (RDOM), FA has the highest apparent reaction rate constant for MCLR at 0.03567 h -1 . Using isopropanol, furfuryl alcohol, and sorbic acid as quenchers, the contributions of different photochemically produced reactive intermediates(PPRIs) to MCLR photodegradation follow the order: 3 DOM⁎ > ·OH > 1 O 2 . As pH increases, changes in the conformation and charge distribution of DOM and MCLR suppress MCLR photodegradation. The addition of Fe(II) or Mn(II) enhances the photodegradation of MCLR by DOM. Electron paramagnetic resonance tests and radical quenching experiments indicate that the introduction of Fe(II)/Mn(II) increases ·OH production. The enhanced ·OH promotes MCLR photodegradation more effectively than the suppression caused by Fe(II)/Mn(II) quenching of ³DOM⁎. Product analysis reveals that demethylation, hydroxylation, decarbonylation, decarboxylation, denitration, and bond cleavage are the main pathways of MCLR photodegradation. These findings provide valuable insights into the migration and transformation of MCLR in complex environments, contributing to a deeper understanding of the fate of pollutants in natural water systems, particularly in the presence of metal ions.

In recent years, zinc-air battery (ZAB) has received great attention because of their high energy density, low manufacturing cost, environmental friendliness, and high safety. The main obstacle to the widespread use of ZAB is the design and preparation of low-priced and high-performance electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, the paired Fe single-atoms with Se, N-atom coordination supported on N, S-codoped carbon (FeN x Se y @SNC) are designed and synthesized as catalyst for ZABs. The physical and chemical characterizations indicate the existence of paired Fe single-atoms. The FeN x Se y @SNC exhibits exceptional ORR catalytic activity with a half-wave potential ( E 1/2 ) of up to 0.92 V RHE and an onset potential ( E onset ) of 1.057 V RHE and a overpotential of 346 mV for OER at 10 mA cm −2 . The FeN x Se y @SNC-based ZAB shows a high peak power density of 307 mW cm −2 at 475 mA cm −2 , a high specific energy density of 760.9 mAh g −1 at 10 mA cm −2 , and superior long-term durability. DFT reveal that the asymmetric Fe─Se─Fe bridging bonds and S-atom coordination in the Fe 2 N 5 SeS allow precise control of Fe active sites, and can well modulate the electronic properties of Fe sites, optimize the adsorption energies of oxygen intermediates and improve catalytic performance.

Fe-based metal organic framework with high active site exposure, wide light absorption and fast H 2 O 2 activation are pivotal for photo-Fenton degradation of contaminants. However, insufficient active site exposure, weak visible light adsorption and low charge transfer efficiency in iron-oxo clusters usually lead to the slow Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle. In this study, we develop a novel citric acid (CA)-modified MIL-88A(Fe) strategy to boost photo-Fenton efficiency by accelerating Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle for emerging contaminants removal. Relationship between CA coordination mode and photo-Fenton performance was studied by using methylene blue (MB) and carbamazepine (CBZ) as model contaminants. It was found that the degradation rate constants of MIL-88A(Fe)-CA-3 were 6.5 and 2.6 times higher than those in the pristine MIL-88A(Fe) for MB and CBZ degradation, respectively. The optimized MIL-88A(Fe)-CA-3 also exhibited good recyclability, enabling multiple cycles in photo-Fenton reaction. The results of experimental characterizations and density functional theory calculations demonstrated that ligand substitution was conductive to active site exposure, visible light absorption, charge carrier transfer and Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ redox cycle, which are responsible for an improved photo-Fenton performance.

The quantitative determination of cholesterol in foods, drugs, and biological fluids holds significant importance due to its potential health risks. Herein, a self-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was developed for cholesterol detection. The photoelectrochemical system was constructed by modifying fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrodes with ZnO/C (serving as the photoanode) and iron-modified CuBi 2 O 4 (denoted as CBFO, functioning as the photocathode) through a controlled deposition process. To enhance detection selectivity, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were electrodeposited on the photocathode surface. The optimized sensor exhibited a linear detection range of 1–1000 nmol L −1 and a detection limit of 0.26 nmol L −1 (S/N = 3). Practical application of the sensor for cholesterol detection in milk samples demonstrated satisfactory recovery rates (98.6 %–107 %) with relative standard deviations (RSD) ranging from 2.38 % to 4.25 %. These results underscore the potential of this self-powered PEC sensor as a robust platform for rapid and accurate cholesterol determination in food products, pharmaceuticals, and environmental samples.

A new material, polyacrylic acid-b-polyptyrene (PAA-b-PS) covered Ni/Fe nanoparticles (PAA-b-PS-nZVI-Ni), was developed and evaluated for the selective dechlorination of 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) in the presence of potential interferents. The average size of the PAA-b-PS coated Fe/Ni bimetallic nanoparticles was approximately 50 nm, which resulted from agglomeration prevention by PAA-b-PS. The removal efficiency of 1,1,1-TCA by an optimal dose with a 1.0 g/L Fe/Ni (Ni/Fe = 2 wt%) and 0.5 g/L PAA-b-PS-coated concentration was higher (87.5%) than that of bare Fe/Ni (60%). The pseudo-first-order rate constant (Kobs) of 1,1,1-TCA removal by PAA-b-PS-nZVI-Ni was 0.0142 min−1 within 240 min. Comparatively, the Kobs values of 1,1,1-TCA removal by other materials (Fe, pure bimetallic Fe/Ni, PAA-b-PS-Fe) were only 0.003, 0.0052 and 0.0103 min−1, respectively. The 1,1,1-TCA removal efficacy by PAA-b-PS-nZVI-Ni showed no obvious gap regardless of pH or various common inorganic anions (NO3−, HCO3− and SO42−) at different concentrations. However, humic acid (HA) had great influence on the degradation of 1,1,1-TCA. In conclusion, PAA-b-PS-covered Ni/Fe nanoparticles with its selectivity high effectiveness could be used as one remedial agent for the degradation of 1,1,1-TCA in water.

Recently, nitrogen-doped porous carbon supported single atom catalysts (SACs) have become one of the most promising alternatives to precious metal catalysts in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) due to their outstanding performance, especially those derived from porphyrin-based materials. However, most of them involve other metal residuals, which would cause the tedious pre- and/or post-treatment, even mislead the mechanistic investigations and active-site identification. Herein, we report a precursor-dilution strategy to synthesize Fe SACs through the Schiff-based reaction via co-polycondensation of amino-metalloporphyrin, followed by pyrolysis at high temperature. Systematic characterization results provide the compelling evidence of the dominant presence of atomically dispersed Fe-N x species. Our catalyst shows superior ORR performance with positive half-wave potential ( E 1/2 =0.85 V vs. RHE) in alkaline condition and moderate activity ( E 1/2 =0.68 V vs. RHE) under the acidic condition, excellent methanol tolerance and good long-term stability. All the results indicate Fe SACs would be a promising candidate for replacing the precious Pt in metal-air batteries and fuel cells.

The Fenton method is an important water treatment process. However, the mechanism of the Fenton reaction is still not widely recognized. In this article, the autocatalysis process responsible for the degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) as well as the generation of Fe(II) and the decomposition of H2O2 is elaborated using a Fe(III)/H2O2 system. It was found that the one electron reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) via oxidization of H2O2 to ˙HO2 is not spontaneous according to the standard electrode potential rather than being limited by the rate constant of 0.0027 M−1 s−1 in view of the Haber–Weiss circulation. However, the reaction of Fe(III) and 4-CP is spontaneous with a second-order kinetic rate constant of >0.12 M−1 s−1 and a conversion rate of 0.56%, which triggers the switch of the Fenton-like reaction as a real rate-determining step. The circulation of Fe(III) to Fe(II) in the proposed Fenton-like reaction mechanism depends on the organic species and various intermediates, which indicates its reaction selectivity, preferable for organics with a stronger thermodynamic and kinetic activity. Besides, a slight pH decline with time-scale and the stoichiometric ratio of ˙OH to H2O2 and H2O2 to 4-CP being 1 and 2, respectively, pointed to the new proposed reaction mechanism. The discovery of the new reaction mechanism might promote the theoretical and technical advancement of the Fenton-like process.

Fe, N-doped graphene-like carbon layers-wrapped carbon black composite (L-Fe-AD+C) was developed by pyrolyzing the mixture of Fe-adenine precursors and conductive carbon black as an efficient catalyst to oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Graphitic N sites with more ORR activity are preferentially formed due to the facilitation of metallic Fe. Furthermore, graphene-like ultra-thin networks wrapped around nanoparticles of carbon black greatly increase the exposure of active sites and construct continuous diffusion channels favorable for the transfer of substances. As a result, the as-prepared L-Fe-AD+C exhibits an excellent ORR activity in alkaline electrolyte with a high half wave potential (0.88 V), and superior selectivity together with admirable stability, which are comparable to those of the benchmark Pt/C catalyst. More encouragingly, the L-Fe-AD+C can serve as an efficient cathode catalyst in a zinc-air battery, which reaches a peak power density of 221 mW cm −2 approximating to that of Pt/C catalyst (236 mW cm −2 ). The battery also shows a steady discharge voltage plateau of 1.26 V and specific capacity of 799 mAh g −1 at a discharge current density of 10 mA cm −2 . The results suggest the considerable potential of the L-Fe-AD+C catalyst to replace precious metal catalysts.
