Bacterial infection severely hinders skin wound healing, highlighting the critical application value of developing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory hydrogel dressings. In this work, we focused on β-glucan from Hericium erinaceus (HEBG) as the research object, and proposed a solvent-induced combined temperature manipulation technique to trigger multilevel self-assembly of β-glucan. Furthermore, we incorporated green synthesized near-infrared photosensitizer tannic acid (TA)/iron (III) complex into the system. A hydrogel with exceptional antibacterial properties, capable of responding to near-infrared photothermal stimuli while exhibiting remarkable stiffness and structural consistency, was successfully synthesized. Under near-infrared radiation, HEBG/TA/Fe hydrogels produced local hyperthermia and exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against bacteria-infected wounds. Moreover, the HEBG/TA/Fe hydrogel demonstrates its ability to regulate cytokines by effectively inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators TNF-α and IL-6, while simultaneously enhancing the expression of cell proliferation factor KI-67 and markers associated with angiogenesis such as CD31 and α-SMA. Notably, the results of tissue staining revealed that the NIR + HEBG/TA/Fe 5 hydrogel could effectively promoting granulation and vascularization, improving collagen deposition in infected wounds thereby accelerating the healing process. These findings indicate that mixed hydrogels exhibit potential as viable options for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Seawater electrolysis offers a viable strategy for the large-scale production of clean hydrogen. However, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is often compromised by the competitive chloride evolution reaction and the associated corrosion in seawater environments. Herein, we present a novel NiFe-S aerogel (AG) electrocatalyst featuring a porous 3D-network structure and a core–shell architecture. This catalyst demonstrates outstanding OER performance, achieving a low overpotential of 260 mV at 100 mA cm −2 , a Tafel slope of 55 mV dec -1 , and remarkable stability exceeding 500 h at 500 mA cm −2 in alkaline natural seawater. Through combined experimental and computational analyses, we discovered that the self-reconstructed crystalline-amorphous (Ni,Fe)OOH/NiFeS 2 heterojunction is pivotal to the outstanding performance of the NiFe-S AG electrocatalyst. The unique heterostructure facilitates electron transfer and down shifts the d-band center of the active sites, optimizing the adsorption strength of oxygen-containing intermediate species. Moreover, the stability is augmented by increased Fe and Ni vacancy formation energies, and higher affinity for OH – over Cl - , hence attenuating the corrosion from Cl - and suppressing the leaching of active sties. This work highlights the significance of the crystalline-amorphous heterojunction in aerogel catalyst and offers new insights into the design of efficient electrocatalysts for seawater oxidation.

Ceramsites are extensively employed as substrates for adsorbents in studies focused on phosphorus adsorption, leaving ceramsites crafted from diatomite less explored. Diatomite-based ceramsite, with its distinct porous architecture and surface silanol functionalities, is adept at supporting a variety of metal oxides, presenting a distinct advantage over other ceramsite variants. In light of this, the present study embarked on producing diatomite-based ceramsite using diatomite as the foundational material, subsequently enhancing it through the incorporation of Fe, thus yielding an Fe-modified diatomite-based ceramsite. Through adsorption testing, the modified ceramsite demonstrated a significantly improved adsorption capacity of 4.06 mg P/g, marking a substantial enhancement from the initial capacity of 0.9 mg P/g. The process of phosphorus adsorption exhibited a strong alignment with the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In-depth analyses employing XRD, FTIR, zeta potential, and XPS techniques have revealed that the principal mechanisms driving the adsorption process are centered on interactions involving electrostatic forces, the formation of chemical precipitates, and the exchange of ligands. This investigation not only opens new avenues for the application of diatomite-based ceramsite but also lays down a theoretical foundation for its modification, thereby enriching the spectrum of its utility.

The residues of oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC) in water have potential adverse effects on human health and ecological environment. Photocatalytic degradation has been widely studied in the treatment of antibiotic pollution due to its environmentally friendly and efficient characteristics. However, the band gap of traditional photocatalysts is too wide, and the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes is serious, which has negative effects on photocatalysis . Therefore, the Z-scheme heterojunction g-C 3 N 4 @MIL-101(Fe) composite photocatalyst was synthesized by high temperature calcination combined with solvothermal method. g-C 3 N 4 @MIL-101(Fe) was characterized by XRD, FTIR , SEM, TEM and other tests. All the results showed that the compound was successful A series of photoelectric tests showed that g-C 3 N 4 @MIL-101(Fe) has a narrower band gap, stronger light absorption ability, and improved the separation rate of photogenerated electrons and holes. Under visible light irradiation, g-C 3 N 4 @MIL-101(Fe) could remove 87.68% of OTC in 300 min. g-C 3 N 4 @MIL-101(Fe) showed good potential for practical application in five real water samples and stability after six cycles. Finally, superoxide radicals and hole radicals were identified as the main reactive species in the photodegradation process. The mechanism and pathway of the photocatalytic degradation of OTC by g-C 3 N 4 @MIL-101(Fe) are proposed. This work expands the construction and application of Fe-MOF based Z-scheme heterostructure and provides a new idea for water pollution remediation.

With environmental pollution becoming more serious, developing efficient treatment technologies for all kinds of organic wastewater has become the focus of current research. In this work, the coaxial electrospinning technology was used to one-step fabricate a porous and underwater superoleophobic polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous membrane with an Fe-based metal–organic framework (MIL-100(Fe)). Benefiting from the synergistic effect of two jets, the nanofibers are smaller and denser, which prompt the exposure of more nanomaterial additives (MIL-100(Fe)). The BET surface area increased to 202.888 m2/g, and the membranes demonstrated outstanding underwater superoleophobicity. Moreover, compared with traditional blended matrix membranes by the single-axis method, separation of the modifier and membrane matrix material by coaxial methods also maintained excellent mechanical properties, which enhanced Young’s modulus 3.4 times (∼1.34 MPa). As a result, facing soluble dyes, the porous C-PAN/MIL-100(Fe) membrane can demonstrate outstanding and fast adsorptive property (the Qm of MB and CR reached 44.71 and 88.74 mg g–1, respectively). For oily emulsion, the hydrophilic and oleophobic nanofibrous reticular surface provided excellent separation performance (flux: 1124.0–1549.3 L m–2 h–1, R > 98%). Moreover, the porous and underwater superoleophobic C-PAN/MIL-100(Fe)-0.5 membrane can synchronously purify the dye/oil mixture emulsions by one-step filtration. Based on the above performance, we believe that the modified nanofibrous membrane prepared by one-step coaxial electrospinning technology can promote more studies of the development of membrane preparation technology in the field of oily wastewater treatment.

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have attracted wide attention as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, the poor cycle performance caused by the [Fe(CN) 6 ] 4− defects and Jahn-Teller (J-T) effect hinders its practical application. Here, Zn-substituted PBAs were synthesized through co-precipitation method and studied as cathodes for Na-ion batteries. The synthesized Na 1.14 Zn 0.39 Fe 0.61 [Fe(CN)₆]·4.14H 2 O (NZFC) and Na 1.18 Zn 0.42 Fe 0.58 [Fe(CN)₆]·4.96H 2 O (NZFE) showed outstanding exceptional electrochemical properties , including high capacity (first capacity of 114.56 and 97.76 mAh·g −1 at 10 mA·g −1 , respectively), excellent rate property (71.81 and 68.69 mAh·g −1 at 500 mA·g −1 , respectively), and cycling stability (64.72 % and 80.27 %, respectively) after 350 cycles at 200 mA g −1 , which is attribute to introduction of Zn element induced a weak Jahn-Teller effect and a low-spins and a high-spins Fe II /Fe III redox sites coordinated by C and N atoms prompt reversible diffusion of sodium ions and without structural transformation in the Na-ion storage. Using combined experiment and theory via ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is confirmed that the weak J-T distortion contributes significantly to fast-overall kinetics, structural stability , and high electronic conductivity of the electrode. These findings provide new insights into comprehending for the future development of high-performance and stable sodium ion batteries .

Herein, we synthesized well-dispersed N and Fe-doped CoS 2 (FNCS) with stable sulfur vacancies (S V ) for Fenton-like reaction. The characterization, experimental, and calculation results jointly unveiled the synergistic modification of heteroatoms and defects within FNCS constructed unique Co−N−Fe···S V sites, enabling synchronous activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and dissolved oxygen (DO). Optimized S 3p-Co 3d orbital hybridization facilitated efficient electron cycling, generating both SO 4 •− radicals and singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) at Co−N−Fe···S V sites. Consequently, the FNCS/PMS system, operating via a radical-nonradical synergistic mechanism, achieved an ultra-high pollutant degradation rate constant of 2.71 min⁻¹ , 3.77 times higher than radical-dominated CoS 2 /PMS, while retaining over 90 % of its initial activity after 10 h of operation with strong interference resistance. This work provides a clear perspective on regulating the electronic structure of active sites to synergistically activate multiple oxidants for enhanced Fenton-like catalysis.

The efficacy of electron-hole separation in a single sonosensitizer and the complexities of the tumor microenvironment (TME) present significant challenges to the effectiveness of sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Designing efficient sonosensitizers to enhance electron-hole separation and alleviate TME resistance is crucial yet challenging. Herein, we introduce a novel Z-scheme heterojunctions (HJs) sonosensitizer using Fe-doped carbon dots (CDs) as auxiliary semiconductors to sensitize cubic Cu 2 O (Fe-CDs@Cu 2 O) for the first time. Fe-CDs@Cu 2 O demonstrated enhanced SDT effects due to improved electron-hole separation. Additionally, the introduction of Fe ions in CDs synergistically enhances Fenton-like reactions with Cu ions in Cu 2 O, resulting in enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effects. Moreover, Fe-CDs@Cu 2 O exhibited rapid glutathione (GSH) depletion, effectively mitigating TME resistance. With high rates of 1 O 2 and OH generated by Fe-CDs@Cu 2 O, coupled with strong GSH depletion, single drug injection and ultrasound (US) irradiation effectively eliminate tumors. This innovative heterojunction sonosensitizer offers a promising pathway for clinical anti-tumor treatment.

Microcystin-LR (MCLR) is a highly toxic pollutant widely distributed in eutrophic waters. The interplay between dissolved organic matter (DOM) and metal ions has been extensively reported; however, the impact of DOM-metal complexes on MCLR remains to be thoroughly studied. In this research, equilibrium dialysis was employed to study the kinetics and isotherms of MCLR adsorption by DOM, meanwhile the Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided insights into the theoretical mechanisms of Fe(II)/Mn(II) involvement in the adsorption process. The adsorption kinetics revealed that the process is physicochemical, with chemisorption being the critical factor controlling the adsorption rate. The adsorption isotherms confirmed that Fe(II) alters the spatial arrangement of adsorption sites on the superficies of DOM, with the complexes of Fe(II) and DOM from the macrophyte-dominated regions of Lake Taihu (MDR-Fe(II)) showing the uppermost adsorption capacity of 6193.965 µg/g among all combinations. The influence of different cations (K + , Ca 2+ , Na + , Mg 2+ ) on the adsorption of MCLR to DOM is divergent, with metals either reducing MCLR adsorption through competition for adsorption sites or increasing it by forming ternary complexes. The pH decrease reduced the affinity of DOM to metal ions while simultaneously enhancing MCLR adsorption through changes in its ionization state. DFT calculations demonstrated that Fe(II)/Mn(II) reduces the resistance to interaction between functional groups on DOM and MCLR, with carboxyl-Fe(II)-carboxyl interactions showing the highest binding energy (ΔG = −7.253 eV). Overall, Fe(II)/Mn(II) enhances the adsorption of MCLR via altering the structure and surface electrostatic potential distribution of DOM. This research indicates that the ultimate fate of MCLR in aquatic ecosystems is affected by DOM and metal ions.

This study presents a novel Fe-CNs-P/S carbon composite material, synthesized by doping elements P and S into NH2-MIL-101 (Fe) using the carbonization method. The material’s application in sustainable water treatment was evaluated, focusing on its effectiveness in activating persulfate for pollutant degradation. The research thoroughly investigates the synthesis process, structural characteristics, and performance in degrading pollutants. The results indicate that Fe-CNs-P/S-5 with 50% P and S co-doping is higher than that of other samples, where the degradation rate of TC in 30 min is as high as 98.11% under the optimum conditions, that is temperature at 25 °C, 0.05 g/L of catalyst concentration, and 0.2 g/L of PMS concentration. The composite material demonstrates robust versatility and stability, maintaining high degradation efficiency across multiple organic pollutants, with no significant reduction in catalytic performance after four cycles. Furthermore, the free radical quenching experiments display that the singlet oxygen1O2is the main active species. It is demonstrated that the doping of P and S play a role in the enhancement of PMS activation over the Fe-CNs-P/S catalyst. This material demonstrates remarkable efficacy in treating a range of organic contaminants and exhibits excellent reusability, presenting a promising approach for enhancing sustainability in water treatment applications.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) via Fenton-like reaction is greatly attractive owing to its capability to generate highly cytotoxic •OH radicals from tumoral hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). However, the antitumor efficacy of CDT is often challenged by the relatively low radical generation efficiency and the high levels of antioxidative glutathione (GSH) in tumor microenvironment. Herein, an innovative photothermal Fenton-like catalyst, Fe-chelated polydopamine (PDA@Fe) nanoparticle, with excellent GSH-depleting capability is constructed via one-step molecular assembly strategy for dual-modal imaging-guided synergetic photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy. Fe(III) ions in PDA@Fe nanoparticles can consume the GSH overexpressed in tumor microenvironment to avoid the potential •OH consumption, while the as-produced Fe(II) ions subsequently convert tumoral H 2 O 2 into cytotoxic •OH radicals through the Fenton reaction. Notably, PDA@Fe nanoparticles demonstrate excellent near-infrared light absorption that results in superior photothermal conversion ability, which further boosts above-mentioned cascade catalysis to yield more •OH radicals for enhanced CDT. Taken together with T 1 -weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast enhancement ( r 1 = 8.13 mM −1 s −1 ) and strong photoacoustic (PA) imaging signal of PDA@Fe nanoparticles, this design finally realizes the synergistic photothermal-chemodynamic therapy. Overall, this work offers a new promising paradigm to effectively accommodate both imaging and therapy functions in one well-defined framework for personalized precision disease treatment.

The design of nanomedicines targeting specific tumor microenvironment (TME) characteristics, such as low pH, hypoxia, and elevated glutathione (GSH) concentration, holds significant potential for selectively killing cancer cells. In this study, we have developed a TME-responsive nanoparticle, i.e. , MIL-53(Fe)@MnO 2 stabilized with polyethylene glycol (FMP), which is capable of depleting GSH and sustainably generating hydroxyl radical (•OH) for enhanced chemodynamic therapy of cancer. After endocytosis, the FMP nanoparticles undergo gradual decomposition, resulting in GSH depletion while releasing Fenton-active Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ ions. These ions then subsequently catalyze a Fenton-like reaction to generate highly toxic •OH, ultimately inducing oxidative cell death. As a synergistic effect, the depletion of GSH further enhances therapeutic efficacy by inhibiting intracellular •OH scavenging. In vivo experiments demonstrated that this synergistically chemotherapeutic approach efficiently suppressed tumor growth without inducing significant systemic toxicity. This work presents a promising nanotherapeutic strategy that simultaneously depletes intracellular GSH and sustains cytotoxic •OH generation for enhanced tumor treatment.
