Eutrophication of water bodies due to excessive phosphate release is becoming a serious issue. Herein, an Fe(III)-fulvic acid carrier with a synergistic effect with a surfactant was fabricated for the first time by a solvothermal method and evaluated for the removal of phosphate via an adsorption flotation strategy. This study indicated that the solvothermal method significantly improved the specific surface area, pore structure and active site distribution of the adsorption carrier and initially enhanced its adsorption performance. In addition, based on the synergistic effect of Fe(III)-fulvic acid and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), the competitive effect of surfactant and target ion in the adsorption flotation process was effectively broken. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of Fe(III)-fulvic acid increased from 169.205 ± 0.846 mg·g −1 to 274.725 ± 0.550 mg·g −1 after introducing CTAB, which was improved by 62.32% relative to the adsorption stage. FTIR and XPS analyses verified that the re-enhancement of the adsorption performance of the adsorbent carrier was mainly attributed to the chemisorption of CTAB with the carboxyl groups on the carrier surface, which intensified the electrostatic attraction and ligand exchange between the carrier and phosphate. Additionally, fractal and EDLVO theories revealed that CTAB could obviously improve the floatability of the carrier particles. Concurrently, the regeneration studies suggested that Fe(III)-fulvic acid possessed stable adsorption and flotation separation performance after three cycles. Overall, the Fe(III)-fulvic acid fabricated in this study not only realized the resource utilization of fulvic acid but also had practical application potential for the purification of oxyanions.

MIL-100(Fe) has been demonstrated as a commonly used photocatalyst but is limited by the deficient charge separation efficiency and difficult recovery. In this work, by taking advantages of the strong plasmonic absorption and electron conductivity of Ag nanoparticles, as well as the fast magnetic response of the Fe 3 O 4 , core/shell Ag/Fe 3 O 4 @MIL-100(Fe) (AFM) was facilely prepared by a direct hydrothermal reaction between H 3 btc and Ag/Fe 3 O 4 (AF) for photo-Fenton degradation of RhB assisted by H 2 O 2 . Specifically, the Fe 3 O 4 in AF acted as both ion precursor and protector to inhibit Ag aggregation to obtain uniform and dispersed core/shell AFM. By adjusting the MIL-100(Fe) thickness and the Ag proportion, the optimum AFM exhibits superior photo-Fenton activity to decompose 88.5% RhB within 30 min under visible-light irradiation and H 2 O 2 addition, which is much higher than that of AFM in the presence of either light (58.5%) or H 2 O 2 (46.6%) due to the synergistic effects of visible-light absorption by MIL-100(Fe) and ·OH generation from H 2 O 2 . Moreover, the catalyst can be collected conveniently for its strong magnetic responsibility. This work may be beneficial to the development of effective photo-Fenton catalysts. Graphical abstract A novel magnetically recyclable Ag/Fe 3 O 4 @MIL-100(Fe) with special core/shell structure was facilely synthesized by hydrothermal method with superior photo-Fenton activity for dye degradation.

New technology is required for the effective disinfection of pathogenic bacteria in water. A novel type of activator material (Fe-Mg-Mt-SS) was prepared using bimetallic iron-magnesium (Fe-Mg), montmorillonite (Mt), and sewage sludge carbon (SS) and applied it for disinfection. The specific surface area of Fe-Mg-Mt-SS was 115.72 m 2 /g, and the spatial structure of Fe-Mg-Mt-SS was orderly and layered. Mt played a role in frame support, and Fe-Mg was integrated into the structure in an orderly manner. Fe-Mg-Mt-SS effectively activated persulfate (PS) to disinfect Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) in water, with a disinfection rate of 7.00 lg of E. coli within 80 min in the PS/Fe-Mg-Mt-SS system, and the high disinfection rate was stable under different pH and elevated temperatures. Fe-Mg-Mt-SS showed broad spectrum disinfectant efficiency against other bacteria ( Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus subtilis ). Fe-Mg-Mt-SS activated PS killed E. coli mainly by producing hydroxyl and oxygen radicals, which damaged the E. coli cell membrane. Bimetallic activation with Fe and Mg synergistically activated PS, graphitised SS had more orderly spatial and laminar structures, and Mt improved the thermal stability and layer spacing of Fe-Mg-Mt-SS, which facilitated better metal insertion and improved its activation properties. The preparation of Fe-Mg-Mt-SS and activation of PS provide a new technology for the disinfection of pathogenic bacteria in water.

In this study, eco-friendly and magnetic sucrose-derived Fe-containing mesoporous carbon (Fe-MC) composites have been prepared by carbothermal reduction . The Fe-MC3-1000 prepared from sucrose and FeSO 4 with a mass ratio of 1:1 at 1000 °C has a uniform mesoporous structure with a BET surface area of 184 m 2 /g. The carbothermal reduction of Fe 2 O 3 had dual effects of the pore-forming and the loading. Batch adsorption experiments and electrochemical measurements show that the Fe-MC3-1000 has the optimum performance in both adsorption and supercapacitor applications. For adsorption, the maximum adsorption capacity for Congo red (CR) arrived at 972.1 mg g −1 with a removal percentage of 97.2 %. The adsorption process has good agreement with Langmuir isotherm and Elovich kinetic models . Besides, the Fe-MC3-1000 exhibits good recyclability after five adsorption-desorption cycles. For supercapacitor, the Fe-MC3-1000 electrode has a capacitance value of 179.23 F g −1 and a capacitance retention of 92.8 % at 10 A g −1 after 2000 cycles. The outstanding adsorption and electrochemical performances suggest that the Fe-MC3-1000 is a competitive bi-functional material for adsorption and supercapacitor.

The combination of high coercivity and resistivity is a strong requirement for permanent magnets to resist thermal demagnetization under complex operating conditions. However, this still remains a challenge for conventional strategies, which always sacrifice the maximum energy product as the coercivity or resistivity increases. In this work, we report a unique strategy of introducing only 0.1 wt% of insulating nano-diamonds (NDs) into the hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B magnets to significantly and simultaneously improve both magnetic properties ( H ci , B r , (BH) max and H k / H cj ) and resistivity. In particular, the coercivity increased by 60% from 746 to 1193 kA/m. Further microstructure observations indicate that this exceptional effect stems from NDs can effectively inhibit the formation of coarse grains and optimize the distribution of Nd-rich phases, ensuring a strong pinning effect to enhance hard magnetic performance. Meanwhile, the presence of additional grain boundaries and NDs can also lead to higher resistivity by preventing the movement of free electrons. Our work provides a distinctive strategy for interface modification with excellent comprehensive performance in permanent magnets.

Heavy metal complexes pose a challenge in terms of their resistance to removal due to their stable and intricate structure. In this study, we explored the utilization of Fe and N co-doped biochar derived from rice husk (Fe-N-RHBC) as catalytic particle electrodes in a three-dimensional electro-Fenton (3D-EF) system for the decomplexation and removal of a model pollutant, Ni-EDTA. The characterization analysis and comparison of catalytic activities confirmed the beneficial effects of Fe and N co-doping on various aspects, such as the types of active sites, interfacial electron transfer properties, and H 2 O 2 decomposition capacity. Compared to other investigated oxidation systems, the 3D-EF process demonstrated rapid removal of Ni-EDTA within the initial minute, with a maximum H 2 O 2 utilization of 99.1% after 30 min. The prepared catalytic particle electrodes exhibited high stability and catalytic capacity even after three consecutive cycles. Throughout the reaction, several processes, including anode oxidation, particle electrode polarization, catalysis, and adsorption of Fe-N-RHBC, as well as cathodic electro-deposition, synergistically contributed to the treatment of Ni-EDTA. The surface-bound O 2 − radicals and 1 O 2 generated by the Fe-N-RHBC catalytic particle electrode played a crucial role in the decomplexation and removal of Ni-EDTA. Building upon these findings, we further proposed potential mechanisms for the removal of Ni-EDTA in the 3D-EF system using the Fe-N-RHBC catalytic particle electrode.

A series of microwave absorbers (SFs) were prepared using coal hydrogasification semi-coke as the carbon and ferric nitrate as the magnetic precursors. The absorbers were then incorporated to waterborne polyurethane to prepare composites (WSF). The microwave absorption performance of the composites can be tuned by adjusting the annealing temperature of the hybrids. The composite films can be fabricated to gradient or homogeneous structures by a facile viscosity-controlling method. The film with gradient structure is more conducive to alleviating the impedance mismatch and enhancing the attenuation. The WSF700 composite with gradient structure performs favorable MA property, with the minimum reflection loss of −42.08 dB and effective absorption bandwidth of 6.78 GHz at a thickness of 1.7 mm. The preparation strategy is rather facile, and the ingredients are inexpensive and easily accessible. This work shows great potential for the applications of the composites in MA coatings and flexible electronics.

Trichloroethylene (TCE) commonly exists in contaminated water as a persistent toxic pollutant . The advanced oxidation of persulfate (PS) is a promising method for degrading organic pollutants . Heterogeneous Fe-carbon composites prepared by pyrolysis with metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted attention. However, the intrinsic relationship between the physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of MOF-derived carbon compounds via PS is unclear. This study investigates TCE removal by Fe-MOF-derived carbon (MFC) with PS. The effects of the precursor template structure, pyrolysis temperature, and coexisting substances on TCE removal over the MFC/PS system are examined. Fe-MOF-derived from different precursor templates presented different TCE removal rates of 75.2–85.0%. The pyrolysis temperature of MFC alters the pore size, phase composition, and other properties, thereby affecting electron transport in the materials and catalyzing the degradation process. The total TCE removal reached 85.8% with MFC600, derived from MF88B and pyrolyzed at 600 ℃. This catalyst demonstrated excellent performance for PS degradation over a wide pH range (3−9). Moreover, free-radical and nonradical pathways coexist in the MFC600/PS system. During the TCE degradation process, oxygen vacancies, Fe species (Fe 0 , Fe 3 N, Fe 3 C, and Fe 3 O 4 ), and N species (pyridinic N and graphitic N) were active centers in the material and played a major role in catalytic degradation. They participated in the subsequent generation of HO•, SO 4 • - , and •O 2 - , and 1 O 2 . Furthermore, a possible degradation mechanism is proposed. This study elucidates the control of the physicochemical properties of carbon-based catalysts by exploiting MOF diversity.

A fluorometric and colorimetric dual-modal nanoprobe (denoted as Fe 2+ -Phen/SiNPs) has been developed for selective and sensitive determination of nitrite (NO 2 − ). The mechanism is based on fluorescence quenching between silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) and Fe(II)-phenanthroline complex (Fe 2+ -Phen) via inner filter effect and redox. With the addition of increasing NO 2 − , Fe 2+ is oxidized to Fe 3+ , recovering the fluorescence of SiNPs. Meanwhile, the color of the system gradually changes from orange-red to colorless, which enables colorimetric measurement. The NO 2 − concentration shows a wide linear relationship with fluorescence intensity from 0.1 to 1.0 mM ( R 2 = 0.9955) with a detection limit of 2.4 μM in the fluorometric method (excitation wavelength: 380 nm). By contrast, the linear range of the colorimetric method ranges from 0.01 to 0.35 mM ( R 2 = 0.9953) with a limit of detection of 6.8 μM (proposed selective absorbance: 510 nm). The probe has been successfully applied to nitrite determination in water, salted vegetables, and hams demonstrating broad application prospects for the determination of nitrite in complicated matrices.

The development of efficient single-atom catalysts (SACs) for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a formidable challenge, primarily due to the symmetric charge distribution of metal single-atom sites (M-N 4 ). To address such issue, herein, Fe-N x sites coupled synergistic catalysts fabrication strategy is presented to break the uniform electronic distribution, thus enhancing the intrinsic catalytic activity. Precisely, atomically dispersed Fe-N x sites supported on N/S-doped mesoporous carbon (NSC) coupled with FeS@C core-shell nanoparticles (FAS-NSC@950) is synthesized by a facile hydrothermal reaction and subsequent pyrolysis. Due to the presence of an in situ-grown conductive graphitic layer (shell), the FeS nanoparticles (core) effectively adjust the electronic structure of single-atom Fe sites and facilitate the ORR kinetics via short/long-range coupling interactions. Consequently, FAS-NSC@950 displays a more positive half-wave potential ( E 1/2 ) of 0.871 V with a significantly boosted ORR kinetics (Tafel slope = 52.2 mV dec −1 ), outpacing the commercial Pt/C ( E 1/2 = 0.84 V and Tafel slope = 54.6 mV dec −1 ). As a bifunctional electrocatalyst, it displays a smaller bifunctional activity parameter (Δ E ) of 0.673 V, surpassing the Pt/C-RuO 2 combination (Δ E = 0.724 V). Besides, the FAS-NSC@950-based zinc-air battery (ZAB) displays superior power density, specific capacity, and long-term cycling performance to the Pt/C-Ir/C-based ZAB. This work significantly contributes to the field by offering a promising strategy to enhance the catalytic activity of SACs for ORR, with potential implications for energy conversion and storage technologies.

Modification of catalysts by multi-heteroatom doping (S, P, B) is an effective way to improve the peroxomonosulfate activation performance of catalysts. In recent years, highly toxic and persistent trace organic contaminants have been frequently detected in water. Consequently, we proposed the advanced oxidation processes of peroxomonosulfate activated by multi-heteroatom doped Fe@CN (X-Fe@CN) to eliminate trace organic contaminants. The physical phases of X-Fe@CN and its precursors were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. In evaluating the catalytic properties and iron ion leaching of X-Fe@CN-activated PMS for the removal of dicamba and atenolol, B-Fe@CN and PB-Fe@CN were selected and optimized. The active sites of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman. The pathways of PMS activation by B-Fe@CN and PB-Fe@CN were identified in combination with electron paramagnetic resonance and electrochemical experiments. Defects, O-B-O and pyrrolic nitrogen on the surface of B-Fe@CN could adsorb and activate PMS to produce SO4•−, ·OH and1O2. Further doping with P enhanced the electron transfer on the catalyst surface, thus accelerating the activation of peroxomonosulfate. This study compared the effects of multi-heteroatom modifications and further demonstrated the synergistic effect between P and B, which can provide a theoretical basis for the selection of multi-heteroatom doped catalysts in water treatment.Keywords:peroxymonosulfate;trace organic contaminants;multi-heteroatom doping;reaction mechanism

The majority of efficient photocatalysts are powder-like, making recycling difficult. In this work, carbon cloth (CC) was used as the substrate, two MOF cloth composites MIL-88@CC and MIL-100@CC were prepared at room temperature , and the morphology and structure of MOF cloth composites were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results of photocatalytic degradation tests show that the two heat-treated MOF cloth composites have excellent degradation effects on MB . The two MOF cloth composites can degrade above 97 % of MB (20 mg/L) within 30 min under the irradiation of 250 W high-pressure mercury lamp and stirring, far exceeding the raw MOF cloth. The presence of oxygen vacancy defects is thought to have improved the heat-treated MOF cloth's photocatalytic efficiency by upsetting the symmetry of the material and facilitating electron and hole separation.·OH and·O 2 - were found to be the main reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved in the degradation process, according to quenching studies and electron spin resonance (ESR) research. In addition, the macroscale MIL-88@CC and MIL-100@CC have considerable potential for degrading dyes, which presents a practical solution to sustainable development concerns.
