Metal-organic framework MIL-53 (Fe)@C/graphite carbon nitride hybrid (MFeCN), a novel flame retardant, was synthesized by hydrothermal reaction and subsequently added into unsaturated polyester resin (UPR). The structure, morphology, and thermal stability of MFeCN were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The thermal stability and flammability of the UPR composites were characterized by TG and cone calorimeter tests (CCT). The results of CCT demonstrated that the peak heat release rate (pHRR), total heat release (THR), peak smoke production rate (pSPR), and total smoke production (TSP) of UPR/MFeCN-4 were reduced by 39.8%, 10.2%, 33.3%, and 14.5%, respectively, comparing with UPR. The results of TG and CCT indicated that MFeCN could improve the thermal stability, flame retardancy, and smoke suppression properties of the UPR composites. The residues after CCT were then characterized by laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS), XPS, and SEM. Finally, based on the above experimental results and analysis, the flame retardancy mechanism of MFeCN was proposed.

M–Nx single-atom catalysts (SACs) with a high coordination number (x > 4) are effective catalysts for eliminating organic pollutants, while the origin of SACs with high activity still remains elusive. In this work, we successfully synthesized an Fe–N5 SAC with axial N coordination, which exhibited exceptional catalytic performance by peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for degrading 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) in a wide pH range (4.0–10.0). The rate constant of Fe–N5 (2.99 min−1) was 6.36 times higher than that of Fe–N4, and the turnover frequency (TOF) of Fe–N5 was found to be 4–149 times higher than those of state-of-the-art SACs and nanocatalysts reported in the literature for 4-CP degradation by PMS activation. Moreover, Fe–N5 was not significantly affected by coexisting substances (HA, HCO3−, SO42−, H2PO4−, NO3−, and Cl−) and had satisfactory degradation efficiency for various chlorophenols. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), quenching experiments, and radical probe experiments demonstrated that 1O2 played a key role in the Fe–N5/PMS system for 4-CP degradation. Density functional theory calculations confirmed that a narrower gap between the Fe-3d band center and Fermi level enhanced the electron transfer in Fe–N5, which resulted in promoted PMS activation. In addition, the Fe–N5/PMS system showed good potential for application in real wastewater. The above findings offer important implications for the future of coordination chemistry in designing M–Nx–C SACs (x > 4), highlighting their practical applications in environmental remediation.

A direct hydrothermal synthesis strategy is developed to prepare the Cu–Fe-ZSM-5 zeolites by using the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium dihydrate (EDTA-2Na·2H 2 O) chelated Cu 2+ and Fe 3+ precursors as metal sources. During the crystallization, the metal chelates were spontaneously embedded into the ZSM-5 crystals and subsequently transformed to the zeolites encapsulated copper and iron species after removing the chelating agent via the high-temperature calcination . Rigorous characterizations indicate that the resulted Cu 2+ /Cu + and Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ species are formed ultra-small nano-composites with an average diameter of ∼2.2 nm and highly dispersed in the ZSM-5 zeolite crystals. The acidity of the ZSM-5 zeolites is subtly modulated by the encapsulated Cu–Fe nano-composite. As expected, the as-prepared Cu–Fe-ZSM-5 exhibits outstanding catalytic performance for the selective catalytic reduction of NO x with ammonia (NH 3 -SCR) in the broad reaction temperature ranges of 220–480 °C, which is much better than the Cu–Fe/ZSM-5 prepared with the conventional wetness impregnation method. Furthermore, the resultant zeolites show high stability and good tolerance to H 2 O and SO 2 , and it is very competitive for practical application to eliminate NO x . The developed one-pot hydrothermal synthesis route by using EDTA-2Na·2H 2 O as chelating agent is very convenient and easily reproducible, providing a general guideline to design and fabricate the superior transition metal modified zeolite catalysts for NH 3 -SCR and the related reactions.

Disruptions in metal balance can trigger a synergistic interplay of cuproptosis and ferroptosis, offering promising solutions to enduring challenges in oncology. Here, we have engineered a Cellular Trojan Horse, named MetaCell, which uses live neutrophils to stably internalize thermosensitive liposomal bimetallic Fe-Cu MOFs (Lip@Fe-Cu-MOFs). MetaCell can instigate cuproptosis and ferroptosis, thereby enhancing treatment efficacy. Mirroring the characteristics of neutrophils, MetaCell can evade the immune system and not only infiltrate tumors but also respond to inflammation by releasing therapeutic components, thereby surmounting traditional treatment barriers. Notably, Lip@Fe-Cu-MOFs demonstrate notable photothermal effects, inciting a targeted release of Fe-Cu-MOFs within cancer cells and amplifying the synergistic action of cuproptosis and ferroptosis. MetaCell has demonstrated promising treatment outcomes in tumor-bearing mice, effectively eliminating solid tumors and forestalling recurrence, leading to extended survival. This research provides great insights into the complex interplay between copper and iron homeostasis in malignancies, potentially paving the way for innovative approaches in cancer treatment.

Magnetic-dielectric composites attract numerous attentions for good microwave absorption performances based on magnetic-dielectric loss mechanism and tunable electromagnetic parameters. Fe/carbon fibers are prepared through carbonization of Fe doped polyaniline nanotubes , in which Fe nanoparticles are embedded in carbon fibers. The introduction of Fe nanoparticles results in good electromagnetic impedance and proper quarter-wavelength cancellation induced, which ensure that microwave penetrate composites to the great extend and is consumed as much as possible, leading to enhanced microwave absorption performance. The minimal reflection loss of Fe/carbon fibers composites starts being less than −10 dB from 1.7 mm and is up to −44.09 dB at 6.62 GHz and 4.1 mm and the effective bandwidth reaches 6.0 GHz with 2.4 mm.

Ni-Fe bimetallic catalysts demonstrate high catalytic activity and strong resistance to deactivation during biomass steam reforming (BSR). However, their activation and reaction with steam (H 2 O) are complex, and a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms is crucial for enhancing catalyst stability. This study systematically investigates the influence of H 2 O on the deactivation mechanisms of Ni-Fe/Al 2 O 3 catalysts, focusing on its dual role in modulating carbon deposition patterns and triggering metal particle sintering. Our experimental results reveal a paradoxical effect of steam: the introduction of H 2 O reduces the total amount of carbon deposits, it promotes the formation of structurally disordered carbon. Crucially, this disordered carbon is identified as the primary driver of catalyst deactivation. It not only physically blocks active sites but also accelerates the sintering of metal particles, leading to profound alterations of the catalyst’s surface architecture and a consequent loss of performance. Combining experimental results and DFT calculations, we reveal the energy barriers for carbon evolution and correlate them with catalytic stability. These insights provide a theoretical foundation for improving the deactivation resistance of the catalyst, controlling the structural type of carbon deposits, and optimizing the anti-sintering performance of the etallic catalysts.

In recent years, most of the studies on nanozymes have focused on improving their catalytic activity and direct synthesis, but this task is still very complex. Bimetallic oxides are particularly popular due to their mixed valence and synergistic effects between different metal ions. In this study, Fe-Mn bimetallic oxide nano-cubes were prepared by fast and effective solvothermal synthesis, and nano-flower-like structures were grown on the surface of Fe-Mn oxide nanocubes via controlled etching. The synthesized Fe-Mn bimetallic oxide nano-flowers (FMBO NFs) have great oxidase-like activity. On this basis, a simple, economical and accurate colorimetric sensor was established by combining 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Exposure to L-cysteine (L-Cys) inhibited the catalytic activity of FMBO NFs. As the concentration of L-Cys increased, the absorbance at 652 nm decreased, with a good linear relationship in the range of 0.01-1000 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.99 × 10 -11 M, and the detection of L-Cys in the actual sample egg yolk was successfully achieved. This study provides theoretical support for the effective design of bimetallic oxide nanozyme activity, and can guide the development of an accurate detection system for the analysis of L-Cys in food.

Many methods used to synthesize efficient reducing agents of Fe and Al–layered double hydroxide (Fe/Al–LDH) nanosheets against oxidizing contaminants often require the use of unstable bivalent iron salts and long aging times at ambient temperatures. Here, we developed an easy-to-operate, environment-friendly, and scaled-up electrochemical engineering method without adding metal salts to synthesize Fe/Al–LDHs via an electrolytic reaction of active metal electrodes (Fe and Al). The process resulted in the growth of thin hexagonal Fe/Al–LDHs with a lateral size of approximately 100 nm and thickness of approximately 32 nm. The crystallization process of Fe/Al–LDHs strongly relied on the crystal nucleus of the first precipitate Al(OH) 3 and the Fe chemical valence. The oxidation state of Fe was markedly influenced by hydroxyl ions that formed on the cathode surface and the oxygen evolution reaction at high current density ( i ). The fast and simple manufacturing technique not only had high yield (approximately 0.2 g of Fe/Al–LDHs was obtained when i was 2 mA/cm 2 within 25 min) but also afforded Fe/Al–LDHs with excellent reducibility for the removal of Cr(VI). This study demonstrated an attractive option for the rapid and large-scale synthesis of Fe/Al–LDHs to enhance their application prospects.

Lattice-doping and surface decoration are prospective routes to improve the visible-light photocatalytic ability of TiO 2 , but the two techniques are difficult to combine into one preparation process because they are usually conducted under different conditions, which limits the efficiency of TiO 2 modification. In this study, TiO 2 was successfully modified by simultaneous lattice-doping and surface decoration, and the visible-light photocatalytic capacity was largely improved. Upon comparing the method reported here with previous ones, the most significant difference is that Fe(II)-phenanthroline was first used as the co-precursor of the introduced elements of C, N, and Fe. These three elements were simultaneously introduced to TiO 2 at high levels by this co-precursor method. The as-synthesized photocatalysts were systemically investigated and analyzed by several characterization methods such as XRD , FT-IR, XPS , Raman spectroscopy , EPR , UV-Vis DRS, photoluminescence spectra, photocurrent , electrochemical impedance spectra, TEM, and HRTEM . The photocatalytic degradation of 4-NP under visible-light irradiation was used to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalysts. Based on the experimental data, a probable mechanism for the photocatalytic degradation by the photocatalysts is proposed. This is a novel method of using one source to simultaneously introduce metal and non-metal elements to TiO 2 at high levels, which may provide a new way to prepare highly effective TiO 2 photocatalysts.

Heterogeneous Fenton oxidation using traditional catalysts with H 2 O 2 for the degradation of 1,4-dioxane (1,4-DX) still presents challenge. In this study, we explored the potential of Fe-ZSM-5 zeolites (Fe-zeolite) with three Si/Al ratios (25, 100, 300) as heterogeneous Fenton catalysts for the removal of 1,4-DX from aqueous solution. Fe 2 O 3 or ZSM-5 alone provided ineffective in degrading 1,4-DX when combined with H 2 O 2 . However, the efficient removal of 1,4-DX using H 2 O 2 was observed when Fe 2 O 3 was loaded on ZSM-5. Notably, the Brønsted acid sites of Fe-zeolite played a crucial role during the degradation of 1,4-DX. Fe-zeolites, in combination with H 2 O 2 , effectively removed 1,4-DX via a combination of adsorption and oxidation. Initially, Fe-zeolites demonstrated excellent affinity for 1,4-DX, achieving adsorption equilibrium rapidly in about 10 min, followed by effective catalytic oxidative degradation. Among the Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts, Fe-ZSM-5 (25) exhibited the highest catalytic activity and degraded 1,4-DX the fastest. We identified hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) as the primary reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsible for 1,4-DX degradation, with superoxide anions (HO 2 · /O 2 · − ) mainly converting into 1 O 2 and ·OH. The degradation primarily occurred at the Fe-zeolite interface, with the degradation rate constants proportional to the amount of Brønsted acid sites on the Fe-zeolite. Fe-zeolites were effective over a wide working pH range, with alkaline pH conditions favoring 1,4-DX degradation. Overall, our study provides valuable insights into the selection of suitable catalysts for effective removal of 1,4-DX using a heterogeneous Fenton technology.

A novel in situ templates etching method is used to prepare three-dimensional (3D) interconnected Fe-N doped hierarchical porous carbon materials. Citric acid serves as a carbon source and etchant. Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles not only provide the iron source by in situ etching but also act as templates to construct the hierarchical porous structure. The prepared optimal sample displays a high specific surface area of 1643.6 m 2 g −1 with an interconnected abundant hierarchical porous structure and homogeneous distribution of Fe and N elements in the carbon. The optimized sample displays excellent catalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance with a positive half-wave potential (0.85 V), efficient four-electron reaction and excellent durability, which are superior to those of Pt/C (20 wt%) catalyst. Meanwhile, due to the unique interconnected hierarchical porous structure, it also exhibits a high specific capacitance of 378.6 F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 and an excellent rate capability of 276.6 F g −1 at 20 A g −1 as supercapacitors electrode materials in 6 M KOH. This work provides a simple design for the preparation of 3 D interconnected Fe-N doped hierarchical porous carbon electrode materials that display potential applications in ORR catalysts and supercapacitors.

The heterogeneous Fenton-like process with bimetallic chelated magnetic chitosan aerogel (Cu-Fe@CTS) as catalyst was applied to treat pre-coagulated leachate nanofiltration concentrate. The process conditions were optimized by Box-Behnken Design (BBD) and the maximum UV 254 removal reached 96.06% under the conditions of temperature 87.62 °C, oxidant dosage 0.2395 mol/L and catalyst dosage 1 g/L. The TOC concentration was reduced from 847.5 to 99.7 mg/L and COD concentration was reduced from 1625 to 464 mg/L. The three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence analysis showed that most of Fulvic acid-like (FA-like) was removed. The adsorption experiment showed that the catalyst reached the adsorption balanced after 60 min and the corresponding FA adsorption removal reached 14.1%. The addition of Tert-butanol (TBA) reduced the FA removal by 59.4%, indicating that the hydroxyl radicals ( OH) was the main active species. Experiments of the OH capture at different pH showed that the Fenton-like system produced more OH at pH of 4, at which the maximum FA removal was 96.61%, while the FA removal still reached 94.26% at pH of 7. The OH capture at different temperature showed that the Fenton-like system produced more OH at 90 °C. KI and TBA shielding experiments showed that OH was produced on the catalyst surface rather than being produced by catalysis of free metal ions in the solution.
