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.

Seawater is more favorable than freshwater in large-scale hydrogen production by electrolysis as it is considered to be the most plentiful natural resource. However, chloride ions with high concentrations in the electrolyte may easily cause corrosion to electrodes or undesirable side reactions during the implementation of seawater electrolysis, thereby degrading the overall system’s efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an electrocatalyst with excellent catalytic activity and corrosion resistance in order to achieve high-efficiency seawater electrolysis. In this study, a three-dimensional heterogeneous architecture of (FeNi)9S8 nanosheets uniformly decorated with an amorphous MoS2 layer on Ni-Fe foam (MoS2-(FeNi)9S8/NFF) was successfully prepared via one-step hydrothermal vulcanization. Benefiting from the strong interaction at the heterogeneous interface, effective charge transfer, and the enhanced corrosion resistance by MoS2-(FeNi)9S8 coupling, the self-supported MoS2-(FeNi)9S8/NFF electrocatalyst exhibited superior catalytic activity and stability toward overall fresh/seawater splitting. Moreover, it required a low battery voltage of 1.57 and 1.62 V to reach 50 and 100 mA cm–2 in an alkaline natural seawater electrolyte, respectively, and possessed impressive durability up to 72 h, exceeding the pair of Pt/C||IrO2. Accordingly, this study provides a route for the preparation of corrosion-resistant electrocatalysts of hydrogen production by seawater electrolysis.

Design of inexpensive and highly efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst is paramount for overall water splitting . In this study, amorphous Ni–Fe–P alloy was successfully synthesized by one-step direct-current electrodeposition method. The performance of Ni–Fe–P alloy as a bifunctional electrocatalyst toward both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was evaluated in 30 wt% KOH solution. It was found that Ni–Fe–P alloy exhibits excellent HER and OER performances, which delivers a current density of 10 mA cm −2 at overpotential of ∼335 mV for HER and ∼309 mV for OER with Tafel slopes of 63.7 and 79.4 mV dec −1 , respectively. Moreover, the electrolyzer only needs a cell voltage of ∼1.62 V to achieve 10 mA cm −2 for overall water splitting. The excellent electrocatalytic performance of Ni–Fe–P alloy is attributed to its electrochemically active constituents, amorphous structure, and the conductive Cu Foil.

In this study, Al-Fe and Al-Fe-Mn alloy anodes are prepared and examined. The influence of impurity Fe on the microstructure and properties of Al alloy anodes is investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electrochemical testing techniques. The results reveal that the presence of impurity Fe in Al alloys significantly shifts the open-circuit potential of the Al anode towards the positive side and reduces its discharge efficiency. However, the adverse impact of impurity Fe is mitigated by alloying with Mn. Specifically, the open-circuit potential of Al-0.20%Fe-0.20%Mn anodes is observed to shift negatively by 70 mV when compared to that of Al-0.20%Fe in a 3 M KOH solution. Furthermore, the anode utilization of Al-0.20%Fe-0.20%Mn anodes, following continuous discharge at 30 mA·cm −2 and 100 mA·cm −2 for 30 min, is found to be 70% and 52% higher, respectively, than that of Al-0.20%Fe anodes. This highlights the effectiveness of Mn modification as a preferable approach to ameliorate the detrimental effects of impurity Fe.

The co-precipitation approach was employed in this study to create Fe doped ZnO (Fe-ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs). To characterize the synthesized NPs, Ultra violet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) were used. Here, a novel electrochemical approach for the detection of tryptophan (Trp) using a glassy carbon electrode modified with Fe-ZnO NPs (Fe-ZnO/GCE) is demonstrated. The research findings revealed that Fe-ZnO/GCE enhanced the electron transfer rate of Trp oxidation. The sensitivity of Trp detection using Fe-ZnO/GCE in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 64.0 was significantly improved compared to bare GCE due to the electrocatalytic activity of Fe-ZnO NPs. Fe-ZnO/GCE exhibited a linear response with Trp concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 150 μM with the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.089 μM (3σ /m ) and limit of quantification (LOQ) about 0.3 μM (10σ /m ) using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The Fe-ZnO/GCE sensor was also effectively used to detect Trp in African catfish and multivitamin tablets. Trp analysis in real samples exhibited good recovery values of 89.60 to 99.15 %, demonstrating the accuracy and practicality of the method.

To design and construct high-performance asymmetric supercapacitors (ASC), we use the same Fe-based metal-organic framework (MIL-88A) as the precursor for the first time to prepare iron-cobalt-nickel ternary metal hydroxides (Fe-Co-Ni-OH) and Fe 2 O 3 compounded with reduced graphene oxide (Fe 2 O 3 /RGO-1). As a positive electrode, Fe-Co-Ni-OH has a specific capacitance of 1065 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and exhibits excellent rate performance and cycle stability due to its unique spindle-like structure of the surface growth nanosheets and the synergistic effect between the three metals. The introduction of RGO effectively connects the independent spindle-like Fe 2 O 3 and enhances the conductivity and structural stability of the material. So that the Fe 2 O 3 /RGO-1 negative electrode has a specific capacitance of 734 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 , and its cycle stability is significantly improved compared with the single Fe 2 O 3 (increasing from 64 % to 85 %). The constructed Fe-Co-Ni-OH//Fe 2 O 3 /RGO-1 ASC possesses a satisfactory energy density of 43.11 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 800 W kg −1 , which is superior to parts constructed with similar material compositions in the same period. This research provides a new perspective for developing high-performance, low-cost, and environmentally friendly green energy storage devices.

The porous structure of composite nanofibers plays a key role in improving their electrochemical performance. However, the dynamic evolution of pore structures and their action during ion intercalation/extraction processes for negative electrodes are not clear. Herein, porous carbon composite nanofibers (Fe@Fe2O3/PCNFs) were prepared as negative electrode materials for potassium-ion batteries. Electrochemical test findings revealed that the composites had good electrochemical characteristics, and the porous structure endowed composite electrodes with pseudo-capacitive behaviors. After 1500 discharge/charge cycles at a current density of 1000 mA g−1, the specific capacity of the potassium-ion batteries was 144.8 mAh g−1. We innovatively used synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) technique to systematically investigate the kinetic process of potassium formation in composites and showed that the kinetic process of potassium reaction in composites can be divided into four stages, and the pores with smaller average diameter distribution are more sensitive to changes in the reaction process. This work paves a new way to study the deposition kinetics of potassium in porous materials, which facilitates the design of porous structures and realizes the development of alkali metal ion-anode materials with high energies.

A new metallo-supramolecular film was prepared by a liquid–liquid interface self-assembly method based on the metal ion Fe(II) in water solution and a star-shaped ligand of triphenylamine-substituted alkyl terpyridine in organic solvents . The film obtained exhibited excellent flexibility due to the presence of flexible alkyl arms, and could tightly adhere to the surface of ITO glass with very smooth surface morphology via SEM characterization. Spectroelectrochemical experiments demonstrated that the film displayed the electrochromism with purplish color in the neutralized state at 0 V vs Ag/AgCl turning to yellow-green color in the oxidized state at 1.2 V vs Ag/AgCl. This work further indicates that the liquid–liquid interfaciad self-assembly method is a promising strategy to prepare the metallo-supramolecular film towards electrochromic applications.

BACKGROUND Dihydroxybenzene (DHB) is a common feedstock in the pharmaceutical and dyestuff industries, which can be prepared by hydroxylation of phenol. It has great potential to find a highly selective catalyst to promote this process. RESULTS Two novel model complexes, FeI 2 (CO) 2 DPPE ( 1 ) and FeI 2 (CO) 2 DPPP ( 2 ), were designed and synthesized, which mimic the active site of [Fe]-hydrogenase. IR and UV–vis spectroscopies and single-crystal X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the structures of complexes 1 and 2 . According to the IR spectra, complexes 1 and 2 have two cis -CO ligands, which is similar to the Fe-GP cofactor isolated from the enzyme. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of complex 1 revealed an angle of 93.7° between the two cis -CO ligands, confirming the structural similarity to the active site of natural [Fe]-H 2 ase. Complex 1 exhibits excellent catalytic properties in phenol hydroxylation, achieving 19.6% phenol conversion and 82.5% DHB selectivity under optimal conditions. CONCLUSIONS Complex 1 is an excellent candidate for mild phenol hydroxylation catalysis. Additionally, a proposed mechanism for hydroxylation catalyzed by complex 1 is presented. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

Hard carbon (HC) is a promising anode for sodium‑ion batteries (SIBs), yet achieving high performance via low‑temperature synthesis remains challenging. Here, HC nanosheets with localized graphitization are fabricated through single‑atom‑Fe‑catalyzed pyrolysis at 750 ℃. Atomic‑scale dispersion of Fe in an Fe–O–P coordination environment is confirmed by high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and synchrotron X‑ray absorption spectroscopy. The Fe single atoms induce short‑range graphitization, creating extra active sites for reversible sodium-ion storage. Accordingly, the Fe-HC anode delivers 141 mAh g −1 at 5 A g −1 , maintains 209.6 mAh g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 after 400 cycles, and retains high reversibility at − 10 ℃. Detailed electrochemical and structural analyses further elucidate the sodium-ion storage mechanism.

Facing the complex application environment and overall inefficiency in the complete water-splitting process, the development of highly efficient and stable catalytic materials is urgently required. This study innovatively proposes and for the first time implements a rapid synthesis technique driven by microwave-induced sulfur sublimation, successfully preparing MS 2 /RuS 2 (M = Co, Fe, Ni) heterostructure interfaces with high structural stability and uniform active site distribution within merely 60 s. By incorporating iron-group sulfides, the electronic structure of pyrite-type RuS 2 is effectively modulated, enabling the developed MS 2 /RuS 2 @G catalyst to exhibit superior activity in alkaline environments. Particularly, the cobalt-based sulfide regulated pyrite-type RuS 2 (CoS 2 /RuS 2 @G) achieves a mass activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) that is 15.4 times that of 20 wt.% Pt/C, and in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), it surpasses commercial IrO 2 by two orders of magnitude. This research not only provides a new pathway for enhancing the performance and environmental adaptability of water-splitting catalysts but also presents a simple and universal method to boost catalytic activity through a synergistic modulation strategy.

As strategic emerging industries represented by clean energy technologies develop rapidly, gallium (Ga), one of the critical elements due to its use in these technologies and limited supply, has attracted worldwide attention. The discovery of appropriate materials to adsorb Ga is crucial for improving the utilization of Ga resources. With the goal to recover Ga ions more efficiently and selectively, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and amino-functionalized MIL-53 series metal–organic skeletons were hydrothermally synthesized into CNT/NH2-MIL-53(Fe) composite adsorbents. The composite's morphology, structure, chemistry and other physicochemical features were characterized, and the adsorption conditions including pH, initial Ga concentration, along with adsorbent dosage were optimized. The outcomes suggest that 2-CNT/NH2-MIL-53(Fe) performs better than the unmodified material in adsorption, and the theoretical maximum adsorption amount of Ga is 1483.8 mg g−1. The adsorption exhibited a single layer chemisorption with an endothermic spontaneous reaction. The adsorption mechanism for Ga onto 2-CNT/NH2-MIL-53(Fe) was mainly via ion exchange and chelation, accompanied by hydrogen bond interaction. The outstanding adsorption capacity and reproducibility using CNT/NH2-MIL-53(Fe) composites provide a novel method for adsorbing Ga from aqueous solutions.
