Existing electrochemical sensors generally possess limited sensitivity, which necessitates the use of high-cost materials such as precious metals and enzymes. Therefore, the development of electrochemical sensors that have low synthesis cost, short detection time, simple operating process, high sensitivity and non-precious metals is highly desirable for establishing modern and more efficient electrochemical analysis methods. Herein, we used sodium borohydride reduction method to load Fe and Co onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Co,Fe/MWCNT). The successful doping of two metals exposes a large number of active sites in the material and increases the effective area. The morphology and elemental composition of the composite material were determined, and the material was used to modify a glassy carbon electrode for the construction of a hypersensitive electrochemical sensor. Subsequently, the electrochemical behavior of rutin on the constructed sensor was investigated under optimum conditions. The reduction peak current and concentration of rutin were found to exhibit a good linear relationship within the concentration ranges 8 × 10 −4 –8 × 10 −3 µmol/L (R 2 = 0.998), 1 × 10 −2 –0.1 µmol/L (R 2 = 0.996), and 1–200 µmol/L (R 2 = 0.998). The electrode also showed good reproducibility and a low limit of detection of 2.8 × 10 −4 µmol/L (3S 0 /S). Importantly, the sensor was successfully applied for the measurement of rutin content in tablet and urine. Thus, an effective analytical platform for rutin determination during the analysis of real drug and biological samples was developed.

Production of cyclopentanone (CPO) from biomass-derived furfural is attractive but challenging, as deep hydrogenation or ring-opening of furan ring in furfural over Co-based catalysts hinders the formation of the targeting products. In this study, alloying Co with Fe species in Co–Fe–Al catalysts is proposed for selective conversion of furfural to CPO in water. The formation of CoFe alloy in Co–Fe–Al catalyst weakened the interaction between Co species and the alumina carrier, lowered the adsorption/activation of H 2 , suppressed the formation of especially Brønsted acidic sites, facilitated the electron transfer from Co 0 to Fe species, increased the activation energy for hydrogenation of furfural (from 17.2 kJ mol −1 over Co–Al to 33.4 kJ mol −1 over 1.5Co-1.5Fe-1.0Al), and weakened the adsorption of C C and C–O–C functionalities in furan ring of furfuryl alcohol (FA) on metallic sites. These factors together suppressed deep hydrogenation of furan ring in FA or ring-opening of FA to diols, producing CPO and CPL with total yield of 91.5%, which was attributed to the synergy between hydrogenation and Brønsted acidic sites. In addition, the presence of Fe in Co–Fe–Al catalysts also enhanced the structural stability of Co species, preventing the phase transformation and aggregation of Co species, and rendering the catalyst with superior reusability .

A self-assembly strategy was presented for the synthesis of highly dispersed Co/Fe bimetallic carbon cages (CoFe50@C) through thermal morphology-controlled transformation of Fe doping dual metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Taking advantage of the well dispersibility, synergetic effects between Fe and Co species, and enhanced graphitization degree of carbon, CoFe50@C exhibited a high removal efficiency of 98% in 180 min for sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The synergistic effect between Co and Fe species played an important role in promoting the reduction of Co(III) to Co(II) and the adsorption of H 2 O 2 molecules, thus enhancing the generation of hydroxyl radicals (HO•), which had been demonstrated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Meanwhile, the graphitized carbon cages could prevent the loss of bimetallic active component and promote the electron transfer during catalytic reaction . This work provides a new type of highly dispersed Co/Fe bimetal carbon cages as heterogeneous Fenton nanocatalyst for the degradation of organic contaminants.

The co-deposition behavior of Co +2 and Fe +2 in ethylene glycol (EG) are investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. These results imply that Co +2 species can accelerate the Co-Fe co-deposition, while Fe +2 can inhibit the reduction of Co +2 . Moreover, the two effects can be improved as Co +2 or Fe +2 concentration increases. Microstructural and compositional characteristics of the samples show that Co-Fe deposits with various Fe content can be obtained from anhydrous FeCl 2 and CoCl 2 in EG. Scanning electron microscopy imaging of the surfaces of these Co-Fe alloy coatings shows that they present a dense structure with spherical “nodules”, the size of which is related to the Fe content. The electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on the Co-Fe coatings is also investigated. These results indicate that its electrocatalytic activity can be improved as Fe contents increase from 2.2 to 9.8 wt.% and the Co-Fe alloy with 9.8 wt.% Fe exhibits the high electrocatalytic activity for HER with an overpotential of 124 mV at 10 mA cm −2 in 1 M KOH.

Adjusting catalyst/ionomer agglomerate is crucial to a high-performance catalyst layer (CL), particularly for non-precious metal catalysts . As a sacrificial component, the solvent plays a vital role during the CL formation process and resulting microstructure, determining the performance of the anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs). Here, solvent mixtures of isopropanol (IPA) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) are studied for the controllable construction of the Co/Fe–N–C CL. The results indicate that the aggregate state of the ionomers and catalysts and the final CL microstructure strongly depend on the ratio of IPA and THF. The CL prepared with IPA: THF = 1:2 (v/v) shows a homogeneous distribution of Co/Fe–N–C catalysts, embedded in the ionomer matrix, due to the fast volatilization and low viscosity of the catalyst ink. The Co/Fe–N–C CL with high moisture adsorption behavior and retention ability results in a high performance AEMFC with peak power density of 545.3 mW cm −2 at 80 °C. The obtained results can guide the rational design of microstructure in non-precious metal CLs for high-performance AEMFCs.

It was found that Co–Fe layered double hydroxides (Co–Fe LDHs), other than intercalated LDHs, could catalyze the luminol–H2O2 chemiluminescence (CL) reaction and generate a strong CL signal. The as-prepared Co–Fe LDHs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Based on the CL spectra, UV-visible absorption spectra and free radical scavenging assay, a possible CL mechanism was proposed. Under optimum conditions, a good linear relationship between the CL intensity and H2O2 concentration in the range of 1.0 × 10−8 to 3.0 × 10−6 mol L−1, with the limit of detection of 5.0 × 10−9 mol L−1, was obtained. Based on the glucose conversion into H2O2 by glucose oxidase, the sensitive detection of glucose could be realized with the limit of detection of 2.0 × 10−8 mol L−1. This proposed method has been applied to the determination of H2O2 and glucose in real samples with satisfactory results.

Co-based catalysts can effectively active peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for organic pollutants degradation. However, the loaded Co on porous materials could easily release into the solution during the reaction. Herein, a stable layered double oxide (LDO)-supported Co-Fe bimetal catalyst, i.e., Co 2 FeAl-LDO, was synthesized and used to activate PMS for the degradation of carbamazepine (CBZ, a representative pharmaceutical and personal care product). Results show that Co 2 FeAl-LDO/PMS exhibited high removal of CBZ (>99%) in 30 min with the reaction rate constant ( k obs ) of 0.2103 min −1 . The high activity of Co 2 FeAl-LDO could be caused by the specific structure of the LDO and the synergistic effect of Co, Fe, and Al on the catalyst. The high CBZ removal (88%) at the fifth run of Co 2 FeAl-LDO and the low cobalt release (0.4 mg/L) indicate the high stability of Co 2 FeAl-LDO. The activation and CBZ degradation mechanisms in this highly efficient system were proposed and validated by identifying the radicals and intermediates of CBZ and comparing the active sites on fresh and used Co 2 FeAl-LDO. pH had a significant effect on CBZ degradation. CoOH + and HSO 5 − were the predominant species involved in CBZ degradation under the optimal pH 6.0. The anions and humic acid (HA) inhibited CBZ degradation as they occupied the active sites of the catalyst. This work provides a new substrate to stabilize the active components, and vital information on the synergistic effect of active components during PMS activation.

The rational design and synthesis of highly efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of critical importance to the large-scale production of hydrogen by water electrolysis. Here, we develop a bimetallic, synergistic, and highly efficient Co–Fe–P electrocatalyst for OER, by selecting a two-dimensional metal–organic framework (MOF) of Co-ZIF-L as the precursor. The Co–Fe–P electrocatalyst features pronounced synergistic effects induced by notable electron transfer from Co to Fe, and a large electrochemical active surface area achieved by organizing the synergistic Co–Fe–P into hierarchical nanosheet arrays with disordered grain boundaries. Such features facilitate the generation of abundant and efficiently exposed Co3+ sites for electrocatalytic OER and thus enable Co–Fe–P to deliver excellent activity (overpotential and Tafel slope as low as 240 mV and 36 mV dec–1, respectively, at a current density of 10 mA cm–2 in 1.0 M KOH solution). The Co–Fe–P electrocatalyst also shows great durability by steadily working for up to 24 h. Our work thus provides new insight into the development of highly efficient electrocatalysts based on nanoscale and/or electronic structure engineering.

Exploring highly efficient, stable and nonprecious electrocatalysts for both hydrogen and oxygen evolutions is greatly desirable for sustainable energy conversion, but still a huge challenge. Herein, we construct a unique three-dimensional (3D) porous electrocatalyst with hollow (Co,Fe)P nanoframes encapsulated into N,P-codoped graphene aerogel (CFP NFs@NPGA) through one-step in situ encapsulation and selective etching, followed by phosphorization. Due to its uniqure 3D porous nanoarchitecture, CFP NFs@NPGA displays superior electrocatalytic performance. As a highly efficient catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction , the CFP NFs@NPGA catalyst only needs low overpotential of 155 mV to afford 10 mA cm −2 under alkaline condition. Meanwhile, the hybrid reveals remarkable oxygen revolution reaction activity with a small overpotential of 278 mV to afford 10 mA cm −2 in alkaline electrolyte . When adopted as both cathode and anode in overall water-splitting cell, the hybrid requires only 1.59 V to achieve 10 mA cm −2 with nearly 100% faradaic efficiency, and the experimentally measured H 2 and O 2 gas genenaration rates are about 0.18 and 0.09 mmol h −1 , respectively, showing outstanding long-term stability even over 48 h. The present results manifest that the combination of hollow nanostructure and hetero-atom-doped carbon matrix is an effective strategy to enhance water-splitting performance of transition metal phosphides.

Electrocatalytic seawater splitting for generating H 2 has become one of the most promising methods. This study prepared M-NiSe/Ni 3 Se 2 (M = Co, Fe, Cd) electrocatalysts through a one-step hydrothermal selenification reaction. In alkaline seawater, the Co–NiSe/Ni 3 Se 2 electrode requires overpotentials of 273, 369, and 431 mV to drive current densities of 10, 50, and 100 mA cm −2 for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process, respectively. Moreover, the Co–NiSe/Ni 3 Se 2 electrocatalyst needs only potential of 1.395 V to drive a current density of 10 mA cm −2 in the urea oxidation reaction (UOR) process. According to density functional theory result, the synergistic effect between the large H 2 O adsorption capacity of Co–NiSe and the superior electrical conductivity of Ni 3 Se 2 is a key factor for contributing to the superior performance of the Co–NiSe/Ni 3 Se 2 catalyst. This study conducted systematic doping comparison experiments on the NiSe/Ni 3 Se 2 system, providing authentic and reliable experimental support for the design of selenide electrocatalysts.

Sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) were frequently utilized for the degradation of various organic pollutants due to their efficient and clean advantages. In this work, Co-Fe based Prussian blue analogues (PBA) nanoparticles were firmly immobilized on nickel foam (NF) as a novel activator for peroxymonosulfate (PMS), and the complete degradation of tetracycline (TC) was achieved within 20 min under optimal conditions. The TC degradation efficiency of samples were investigated under various factors including Co loading, PMS dosage, initial TC concentration, pH, and inorganic anions. The mechanism for PMS activation indicated that reactive oxygen species including sulfate radicals, hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals and singlet oxygen contributed to TC degradation. The possible pathway of TC degradation was investigated by liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy. This work presented a new combination of efficient and easily recoverable supported catalysts and provided useful information for the wastewater treatment .

Fenton-like catalysis based on peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation has shown great potential in the treatment of organic wastewater. Heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts containing transition metal active sites are highly efficient for PMS activation. However, the reduction of oxidized metal active sites was usually not prompt due to the sluggish reaction kinetics, which caused the insufficient redox cycle of the metal active sites and further hampered the catalysis efficiency. Recent studies have shown that the synergy effect between photocatalysis and PMS activation may address the above obstacle and boost overall efficiency. However, a deeper understanding of this synergy effect is still missing, making it difficult to be rationally controlled; thus, a poor synergy effect is frequently reported. Herein, a Co/Fe bimetal-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was designed representatively through systematical characterization and theoretical calculation, the synergy effect was revealed to be profoundly determined by the competitive role of a hole in the system and the adsorbed metastable PMS* on the catalyst surface, and furthermore, the synergy effect can be rationally manipulated; when the Co/Fe doping ratio is 2.5:2.5, the as-prepared g-C3N4 with a moderate valence band position can endow the catalyst with an optimized photo-Fenton-like synergistic effect and the highest catalytic degradation performance. This work sheds light on the rational design of highly efficient photo-Fenton-like catalysts.
