The energy industry is placing more and more emphasis on the need for effective and affordable electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). In this work, an iron-doped NiS/Ni(OH)2/CC composite material was synthesized by simple hydrothermal sulfurization processes of bimetallic Prussian blue analogue (PBAs) precursors grown in situ on three-dimensional (3D) Ni(OH)2 nanosheets. The overpotential can be 103 mV to attain current densities of 10 mA cm−2. The excellent catalytic activity of Fe-NiS/Ni(OH)2/CC is because of the unique 3D structure and the uniform doping of iron caused by the in situ growth of PBA, as well as the high conductivity of the self-supported electrode carbon cloth.

To enhance nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment , a novel method of wrapping waste iron shavings (Fe-C) in polyurethane sponge cubes tied in anoxic zones of a continuous reactor was proposed. Three types of denitrifying bacteria were enriched simultaneously in biofilms and activated sludge , including iron autotrophic denitrifying bacteria (7.83–8.71 %), heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria (10.60–11.95 %), and heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrifying bacteria (23.47–40.06 %). Iron autotrophic denitrifying bacteria ( Dechloromonas and Sphaerotilus ) can remove NO 3 − -N using Fe 2+ as electron donor produced by micro-electrolysis of iron shavings without organic carbon demand, and heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrifying bacteria ( Ferribacterium and Zoogloea ) can simultaneously accomplish nitrification and denitrification under aerobic conditions . The enrichment of these two functional bacteria strengthened the nitrogen removal performance compared to conventional heterotrophic denitrifying process, which could achieve efficient and stable total nitrogen removal (87.4 %) even with low organic carbon. In addition, the synergy of biological and chemical processes through Fe-C micro-electrolysis also enhanced total phosphorus removal (86.0 %).

The rational design of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts with unique morphology and luxuriant porous structure is significant but challenging for accelerating the reaction kinetics of rechargeable Zn–air batteries (ZABs). Herein, zinc-mediated Fe, N-codoped carbon nanocages (Zn-FeNCNs) are synthesized by pyrolyzing the polymerized iron-doped polydopamine on the surface of the ZIF-8 crystal polyhedron. The formation of the chelate between polydopamine and Fe serves as the covering layer to prevent the porous carbon nanocages from collapsing and boosts enough exposure and utilization of metal-based active species during carbonization. Furthermore, both the theoretical calculation and experimental results show that the strong interaction between polyhedron and polydopamine facilitates the evolution of high-activity zinc-modulated FeNx sites and electron transportation and then stimulates the excellent bifunctional catalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). As expected, the Zn–air battery with Zn-FeNCNs as an air cathode displays a superior power density (256 mW cm −2 ) and a high specific capacity (813.3 mA h gZn −1 ), as well as long-term stability over 1000 h. Besides, when this catalyst is applied to the solid-state battery, the device exhibited outstanding mechanical stability and a high round-trip efficiency under different bending angles.

An iron (Fe)-modified carbon dots (CDs) doped ZIF-8 zeolite imidazole metal-organic frame pyrolyzed composite (5Fe@NC) was prepared and then evaluated as a peroxydisulfate (PDS) activator for the oxidative removal of organic pollutants . The 5Fe@NC/PDS system not only has a good recovery performance, wide pH adaptability, and low activation energy, but also is resistant to environmental interference. The quenching experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) detection, and electrochemical analysis all revealed that unlike the widely reported singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) dominated nonradical mechanism, an electron transfer process (ETP) involving a surface bound PDS complex played the main role in pollutants’ degradation by 5Fe@NC/PDS system. The FeN x , defect, graphitic N and hydroxyl group (-OH) acting as active sites, prompted the 5Fe@NC-PDS complex to capture electrons (e − ) from acetaminophen (ACT). This study provides a new approach for xFe@NCs rational design, and deepen the understanding of FeN x activation mechanism of PDS in carbon nanomaterials .

A method involving the application of an elevated proton conductive shell onto Fe-base amorphous alloys (Fe am ) through the mechanical ball-milling process with oxalic acid dihydrate (OA-BFe am ) is presented. The investigation highlights that the resulting Fe 2 C 2 O 4 ·shell remarkably enhances the removal rate of acid orange II (AO II) by Fe am , exhibiting an approximately 2.17-fold increase. This enhancement is attributed to the superior proton conductivity of the Fe 2 C 2 O 4 shell in comparison to the iron oxide shell. Consequently, protons can effectively traverse the Fe 2 C 2 O 4 shell and permeate into the iron core, where they serve as reducing agents to generate H. Simultaneously, the formation of surface-adsorbed Fe 2+ occurs rapidly, contributing to a highly efficient AO II removal process across a broad pH range. Additionally, it is noteworthy that OA-BFe am exhibits equivalent efficacy in the removal of both direct and reactive dyes. Overall, this work introduces an environmentally benign surface modification technique for Fe am and underscores the influence of proton conductivity on the dye wastewater removal capability of Fe am .

The widespread implementation of ultrafiltration (UF) technology, which has gained popularity for drinking water treatment, has been impeded by rising operational costs and shortened membrane lifespans resulting from membrane fouling. Here, an integrated pretreatment technique combining oxidation, adsorption, and coagulation was developed using the S(IV)–Fe(II) binary activated permanganate (PM) system, S(IV)–Fe(II)/PM. The efficacy of S(IV)–Fe(II)/PM pretreatment in mitigating UF membrane fouling was investigated for various raw water sources, including lakes, rivers, and seawater. The operational parameters of S(IV)–Fe(II)/PM pretreatment were optimized, and the underlying mechanisms for fouling alleviation were explored. Relative to conventional pretreatment methods, S(IV)–Fe(II)/PM pretreatment reduced reversible fouling-induced resistance by 13%–92% and irreversible fouling-induced resistance by 11%–86%. The S(IV)–Fe(II)/PM system exhibited optimal mitigation of membrane fouling at a PM:S(IV):Fe(II) dosage ratio of 2:3:3, with G rapid × T rapid = 45948, G slow × T slow = 12480, and a settling time of 30 min (where G is the velocity gradient and T is contact time). The effectiveness of S(IV)–Fe(II)/PM pretreatment in controlling UF membrane fouling can be attributed to the following mechanisms: 1) modification of feed water quality in terms of organic compound characteristics and concentration, colloidal particle quantity and size distribution, and microbial activity and quantity; and 2) adjustment of the membrane surface deposition environment, resulting in reduced polysaccharide and protein content, particle size distribution range, and biomass, as well as alterations in physicochemical properties such as hydrophilicity and interfacial free energy. This study highlights the efficacy of S(IV)–Fe(II)/PM pretreatment in ensuring high-quality UF effluent while effectively reducing membrane fouling, especially its potential for alleviating irreversible membrane fouling.

Carbon-defect engineering in metal single-atom catalysts by simple and robust strategy, boosting their catalytic activity, and revealing the carbon defect-catalytic activity relationship are meaningful but challenging. Herein, we report a facile self-carbon-thermal-reduction strategy for carbon-defect engineering of single Fe-N 4 sites in ZnO-Carbon nano-reactor, as efficient catalyst in Fenton-like reaction for degradation of phenol. The carbon vacancies are easily constructed adjacent to single Fe-N 4 sites during synthesis, facilitating the formation of C-O bonding and lowering the energy barrier of rate-determining-step during degradation of phenol. Consequently, the catalyst Fe-NCv-900 with carbon vacancies exhibits a much improved activity than the Fe-NC-900 without abundant carbon vacancies, with 13.5 times improvement in the first-order rate constant of phenol degradation. The Fe-NCv-900 shows high activity (97% removal ratio of phenol in only 5 min), good recyclability and the wide-ranging pH universality (pH range 3-9). This work not only provides a rational strategy for improving the Fenton-like activity of metal single-atom catalysts, but also deepens the fundamental understanding on how periphery carbon environment affects the property and performance of metal-N 4 sites.

Single-atom metal-anchored porphyrin-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown excellent light absorption, catalytic sites, and high stability during photocatalytic reactions, while there are still challenges for facile assembly with quantum dots to enhance catalytic dynamics. Herein, a kind of Fe single atom-doped MOF material (Fe-MOF-525) was ball milled with CdS in a proper ratio through Fe–N4 and Fe–N–C bonding, which showed the enhanced photoinduced carrier separation ability. As a result, extended light absorption ranges of CdS/Fe-MOF-5252.3 induced the promotion of the photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) value (3638.6 μmol g–1 h–1), which was 7.2 and 2.3 times higher than those of Fe-MOF-525 and CdS. In this work, the facile synthetic technique, specific active sites, and enhanced catalytic dynamics in the composite highlight the future research on MOF-based heterojunctions and their potential photocatalysis applications..

The omnipresence of natural organic matter (NOM) in water bodies traditionally hinders the degradation of trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). This study elucidates the positive role of NOM in enhancing the degradation of TrOCs through the Fe(III)/PMS process. During this process, NOM reduces Fe(III), yielding semiquinone-like radical (NOM • ) and concurrently forming NOM-Fe(III) colloids. In addition to the Fe(II)-mediated activation pathway, Fe(III) sites on NOM-Fe(III) colloids effectively transfer electrons from NOM • or some redox-active moieties to PMS, resulting in the generation of long-lived colloid-bound SO 4 •− , which can readily undergo hydrolysis to produce HO • . The stabilization of SO 4 •− and HO • by NOM-Fe(III) colloids, combined with their moderate adsorption of TrOCs, results in surface-confined reactions that significantly enhance TrOC removal, despite the presence of concurrent quenching reactions between radicals and NOM. Further, the significant positive correlation between the phenolic contents of eight NOM types and TrOC degradation kinetics suggests phenolic moieties as the primary electron source for PMS activation. By in-situ utilizing NOM in raw water, a PMS-amended iron coagulation process with 0.2 mM Fe(III) and PMS effectively removes 90–100 % of six coexisting TrOCs. This study unveils the previously unrecognized role of colloid-bound radicals in decontamination processes, offering valuable insights into harnessing NOM's influence in advanced oxidation water treatment processes.

A boron and iron co-doped biochar (B-Fe/biochar) from Masson pine bark was fabricated and used to activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) for the degradation of guaiacol (GL). The roles of the dopants and the contribution of the radical and non-radical oxidations were investigated. The results showed that the doping of boron and iron significantly improved the catalytic activity of the biochar catalyst with a GL removal efficiency of 98.30% within 30 min. The degradation of the GL mainly occurred through the generation of hydroxyl radicals (·OHs) and electron transfer on the biochar surface, and a non-radical degradation pathway dominated by direct electron transfer was proposed. Recycling the B-Fe/biochar showed low metal leaching from the catalyst and satisfactory long-term stability and reusability, providing potential insights into the use of metal and non-metal co-doped biochar catalysts for PDS activation.Keywords:Masson pine bark;biochar;peroxydisulfate activation;B/Fe co-doping

Immobilized microbial technology is a simple, cost-effective, and efficient technique to minimize the difficulty and energy consumption of heavy oil extraction, as well as the COD of oilfield wastewater. In this work, PC- g -Mag(Fe-MOF) was prepared to immobilize microorganisms obtained by grafting lecithin after magnetization using Fe-MOF. The orthogonal tests showed that the optimum temperature for immobilized microorganisms was 38 °C, the optimum pH was 7, the optimum inoculum was 7 % and the desired mineralization level was <20,000 ppm. The viscosity of free and immobilized microorganisms decreased by 61.5 % and 76 %. The recovery efficiency of the carrier with two species of bacteria after 5 cycles of experiments was 87.5 % and 73.2 %, respectively. The removal rate of COD in the 5th time was 69.3 %, the viscosity reduction rate of heavy oil was 61.6 %. The recovery efficiency of heavy oil was increased by 25.09 %. Fe-MOF acts as a biocarrier to immobilize bacteria and enhance the metabolic activity of their microbial communities and improves COD removal from oilfield wastewater and viscosity reduction in heavy oil.

In this work, a carbon-based catalyst Fe/Co@C with MOF as a self-sacrificing template was prepared by high-temperature roasting of FeCo-MIL101, which was applied to activate PMS for the degradation of chlorotriazine herbicides (ATZ and SIM) showing excellent performance. Characterization analysis revealed that Fe/Co@C possesses a certain graphene structure and has a saturation magnetization rate of 0.87 emu/g, which can be separated from the solution easily and quickly. The degradation of ATZ and SIM was enhanced by introducing chloride ions into the system, and 100 mmol/L Cl - could lead to the complete removal of ATZ and SIM in 6 min, while improving the interfacial electron transfer of Fe/Co@C/PMS. In combination with quenching experiments, ESR test results and DFT calculations, two important roles of chlorine radicals in the reaction are proposed: (1) direct electron transfer and (2) indirect promotion of 1 O 2 generation through the production of HOCl. In addition, the testing of the influencing factors of the catalyst in the system (catalyst dosing, PMS dosing, pH, temperature), the testing of coexisting anions in the aqueous matrix, and the reusability all showed satisfactory performance. Finally, the degradation mechanisms of ATZ and SIM were proposed in combination with GC–MS determination of contaminant intermediates and analysis of their toxicity.
