The rational design and synthesis of efficient and durable bifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great significance and challenging for rechargeable zinc–air batteries. While much attention has been devoted to enhancing ORR performance in recent studies, the effectiveness of OER is equally crucial for charging performance of Zn–air batteries. In this work, NH2-MIL-101(Fe) is employed as a precursor to derive Fe-NC through a straightforward pyrolysis method. Subsequently, NiFe-LDH is synthesized on the surface of Fe-NC via a wet-chemical process to obtain Fe-NC@NiFe-LDH. Capitalizing on the synergistic interplay between Fe-NC, serving as the ORR active site, and NiFe-LDH, acting as the OER active site, Fe-NC@NiFe-LDH demonstrates remarkable bifunctional electrocatalytic performance, boasting a positive half-wave potential of 0.83 V for ORR and a low potential of 1.68 V for OER at a current density of 10 mA cm−2, alongside exceptional stability in alkaline environments. Furthermore, the Fe-NC@NiFe-LDH-based Zn–air battery exhibits outstanding discharge and charge performance, maintaining excellent cycling stability over 600 h (3600 cycles).

The residue of oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC) has emerged as a significant concern impacting both human health and the ecological environment. Photocatalysis has a good application prospect in the treatment of antibiotic pollution due to its advantages of lost cost, high efficiency and environmental friendliness, and the development of photocatalyst has become crucial for achieving effective photocatalytic degradation. The preparation of Z-scheme heterojunction is regarded as an effective strategy to enhance photocatalytic activity. Herein, double Z-scheme MIL-101(Fe)@AgI@TPA/TPB heterojunction materials were innovatively designed and successfully prepared. MIL-101(Fe)@AgI@TPA/TPB could achieve 95.09 % OTC removal efficiency under visible light irradiation in 70 min. The investigation of photoelectric properties and mechanisms revealed that MIL-101(Fe)@AgI@TPA/TPB had a broader range and enhanced ability for light absorption, along with a narrower band gap. It was determined that ·O 2 - and ·OH were the primary active species involved in the photocatalysis process. The mechanism of double Z-scheme heterojunction capable of facilitating efficient photocatalytic degradation was proposed, and the intermediate products and decomposition pathways of OTC in the photocatalytic degradation process were analyzed. This study provides innovative insights into practical application through the prepared double Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst aimed at remediating OTC contamination in water environments.

L-cysteine (L-Cys) is an ideal cocatalyst that enhances the redox cycle of transition metals and accelerates chemical processes, widely used for promoting pollutant degradation in homogeneous systems. However, its role in heterogeneous systems, mechanisms and pathways, remains unclear. In this study, iron-based hydrothermal carbonation carbon (HTCC-Fe) was prepared by reconstituting reed cellulose through hydrothermal carbonization, acid etching, and Fe doping methods. L-Cys promoted the conversion of Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ , which in turn strengthened peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation and increased reactive species formation in the HTCC-Fe/PDS system, with •OH serving as the primary contributor to diclofenac (DCF) degradation, followed by 1 O 2 and O 2 •− . This degradation occurred through pathways including hydroxylation, dehydration, dechlorination, and C–N bond cleavage. As a result, the HTCC-Fe/PDS/L-Cys system achieved a 41.5% higher DCF degradation efficiency than the HTCC/PDS system, coupled with broad pH applicability, strong resistance to anions interference, and effective DCF removal (>70%) in real water matrices. By elucidating the previously unclear role of L-Cys in heterogeneous systems, this work revealed its co-catalytic mechanism in promoting electron transfer and regulating radical/non-radical pathways for enhanced pollutant degradation.

A three-dimensional particle electrode was established by integrating MoS 2 with nitrogen-doped Fe Mn biochar (MoS 2 /NFMB-1.0), enabling efficient electrochemical oxidation of tetracycline (TCH) in aqueous environments. Under optimized conditions, the MoS 2 /NFMB-1.0 achieved a TCH removal efficiency of 96.60%, substantially outperforming the two-dimensional electrode system. After five successive cycles, the degradation efficiency remained at 89.65%. The MoS 2 /NFMB-1.0 also promoted stronger mineralization, with a TOC removal of 74.31%, outperforming NFMB (65.21%), MoS 2 (38.43%). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) analysis revealed that the reaction was primarily driven by 1 O 2 (39.37%), accompanied by O 2 ·- (31.73%) and ·OH (28.90%). The incorporation of MoS 2 facilitated the Fe/Mn redox cycle and ensured continuous ROS generation throughout the reaction. The 3D/MoS 2 /NFMB-1.0 system maintained strong reactivity across a broad pH range from 3 to 11 and remained effective toward several representative antibiotics. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) further clarified the transformation pathways of TCH, while ecotoxicity prediction confirmed that the toxicity of intermediates progressively declined as the reaction proceeded. These results highlight the significant potential of the MoS 2 /NFMB-1.0-based 3D particle-electrode system for future electrochemical water treatment.

Sludge dewatering supernatant is phosphorus-rich yet underutilized because its high ionic strength and dissolved organic matter limit conventional adsorbents. Here, an Fe/Mg bimetallic sludge biochar (FeMg@SBC) was synthesized via one-step impregnation-pyrolysis for phosphate capture. FeMg@SBC exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 116.8 mg/g and maintained efficient phosphate removal over pH 3–11, consistent with the synergistic roles of Fe and Mg sites. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed Fe-O-P and Mg-O-P linkages formed through ligand exchange with surface hydroxyl/oxide groups, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed adsorption-induced surface precipitation via metal-phosphate formation. Together with density functional theory (DFT) calculations identifying Fe/Mg-associated oxygen-containing groups as key active sites, these results indicate that phosphate immobilization was governed by coupled ligand exchange and surface precipitation. In real sludge dewatering supernatant, 1.0 g/L FeMg@SBC reduced phosphate from 131.9 to 40.2 mg/L, retained 65% of its initial capacity after five regeneration cycles, and showed low Fe and Mg leaching of 0.25 and 0.13 mg/L, respectively. The estimated production cost was 1.60 USD/kg. A conceptual process integration was further proposed, providing a cost-effective pathway for sludge valorization and closed-loop phosphorus recovery from sidestreams.

La promotes surface electron transfer in NiFe 2 O 4 to form La-Fe-O precursors. • In-situ LaFeO 3 perovskite scaffold physically confines and anchors active grains. • 20% La doping optimizes the synergy between active site exposure and stability. • Lattice reconstruction enables a high CO 2 conversion of 73% at 700 °C. • Stable CO 2 conversion above 97% over 30 h continuous operation. Catalytic hydrogenation of CO 2 to CO via the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction provides an attractive route for renewable hydrogen utilization and carbon recycling. NiFe 2 O 4 spinels are promising RWGS catalysts owing to abundant oxygen vacancies and excellent CO 2 activation capability. However, the reconstruction-induced aggregation of Fe-Ni active phases under reaction conditions severely limits durability. Herein, La modification regulates phase reconstruction, surface basicity, and oxygen environments. La-induced electron transfer promotes Ni reduction, modifies Fe-O coordination, and enriches defect-related and adsorbed oxygen species, enhancing CO 2 activation. Meanwhile, LaFeO 3 anchors Fe-Ni nanocrystals and suppresses FeO accumulation and sintering. Consequently, 20La 2 O 3 -NiFe 2 O 4 achieves 73.0% CO 2 conversion at 700 °C, and 2.33 times that of pristine NiFe 2 O 4 , while retaining approximately 97% of its initial conversion after 30 h. This work provides an effective strategy for active-phase stabilization, advancing the development of durable catalysts for efficient CO 2 hydrogenation.

Fluoxetine (FLX), a widely used antidepressant, has been increasingly detected in aquatic environments due to its high chemical stability and resistance to biodegradation, posing potential ecological risks. In this study, sludge was used as a precursor to synthesize a Fe–Mn bimetallic nitrogen-doped biochar (FeMn/NBC), enabling the resource utilization of solid waste, which was further applied for peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation to achieve efficient degradation and defluorination of FLX. The superior catalytic performance originated from the synergistic coupling between the N-doped carbon framework and Fe–Mn bimetallic active sites. Nitrogen doping enhanced adsorption and PDS activation, while the bimetallic configuration further improved radical generation efficiency, electron transfer, and catalyst stability. Under optimal conditions (FLX = 10 mg/L, PDS = 2 mM, FeMn/NBC-4 = 0.4 g/L), complete removal of FLX was achieved within 60 min. The system exhibited stable performance over a wide pH range, in the presence of coexisting anions, and in real water matrices, with low metal leaching. Quenching experiments indicated that SO₄•⁻ and •OH were the dominant reactive species. The redox cycling of Fe(II)/Fe(III) and Mn(II)/Mn(III) facilitated continuous PDS activation, while the nitrogen-doped carbon framework enhanced electron transfer. DFT calculations combined with LC–MS analysis revealed that SO₄•⁻ first oxidized FLX via electron transfer, followed by •OH weakening the stability of the C–F bond through electrophilic addition and inducing its cleavage. Toxicity evaluation indicated that the degradation intermediates exhibited reduced ecological risk. These findings provide new insights into the degradation and defluorination mechanisms of fluorinated pharmaceuticals.

A novel ATT/γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticle was synthesized via the alkaline co-precipitation method. • Submicro/nanofibrous membranes incorporating ATT/γ-Fe₂O₃ particles can respond to external magnetic field stimuli. • Moderate-strength static magnetic field enhanced bone regeneration and vascular repair. • In vivo studies suggested that the BMP2-Smad-RUNX-2 signaling pathway was involved in the improvement and healing of cranial bone defects in rats. Currently, the development of multifunctional scaffolds that synergistically promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis remains a significant challenge in bone tissue engineering. It is increasingly recognized that scaffolds composed of a single material or possessing a single function are often inadequate, as they fail to mimic the complex biochemical and physical microenvironments. In this study, we successfully fabricated a submicro/nanofibrous membrane using electrospinning technology, which creates a biomimetic extracellular environment through a polycaprolactone (PCL) / gelatin (GEL) matrix. The incorporation of attapulgite (ATT) supplies essential osteogenic ions, while γ-iron oxide (γ-Fe₂O₃) facilitates mesenchymal cell differentiation and imparts magnetic responsiveness. Co-culturing the membranes with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) revealed that the membranes possessed strong biocompatibility and promoted osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis. Both in vivo and in vitro studies suggested the involvement of the BMP2-Smad‑RUNX‑2 signaling axis in the effects of the PG/ATT/γ‑Fe₂O₃ scaffold, which also upregulated osteogenesis‑related gene expression under a magnetic field. This work offers new insights and provides a scientific foundation for advancing the use of functionalized nanomaterials in the field of bone tissue engineering.

The rising contamination of water resources by levofloxacin (LEV) requires advanced remediation strategies that exceed the capabilities of the conventional methods. This study reports the rational design of a novel, multi-functional cellulose-phytic acid/Fe-MoS 2 (cellulose-PA/Fe-MoS 2 ) hybrid composite for the highly efficient removal of LEV via synergistic adsorption and photocatalysis. Cellulose served as sustainable substrate and phytic acid acted as a natural cross-linker to enhance the integration and distribution of Fe-MoS 2 onto cellulose substrate. This designed architecture results in enhanced hydrophilicity, minimized MoS 2 aggregation, and a maximized density of active sites, as confirmed by comprehensive characterization (SEM, XRD, FTIR, XPS, BET, LC-MS, EPR). The prepared composite demonstrated exceptional, temperature-dependent LEV adsorption capacities of up to 210.97 mg/g (95%) within 40 min, with kinetics and isotherms best described by pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, indicative of chemisorption. The adsorption mechanism driven by a combination of electrostatic attraction, π–π stacking, hydrogen bonding, and coordination complexation, resulting in effective removal across a broad pH range (3−10). The cellulose-PA/Fe-MoS 2 exhibited photocatalytic effect, achieving efficient degradation of levofloxacin (LEV) (98.5%) within short time (15 mins) into small molecules (CO 2 , H 2 O, NH 3 , NO 3 , F, …etc.) as confirmed with LC-MS, driven primarily by reactive species (•O 2 − , •OH, h + ). In addition, it was demonstrated good recyclability, maintaining high performance over five consecutive cycles. These findings suggest that the designed cellulose-PA/Fe-MoS 2 composite could be used as a green and sustainable multifunctional material to simultaneously remove and degrade antibiotics from water environments.

In peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), the precise regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation pathways is a core challenge for achieving selective degradation of target pollutants. In this study, we propose an electronic effect-guided ligand functionalization strategy by systematically introducing electron-donating (-OH, -NH 2 ) and electron-withdrawing (-NO 2 ) groups into the MIL-101 (Fe) framework, thereby establishing a quantitative structure-activity relationship between the electronic structure, coordination environment of Fe centers and ROS generation. The results demonstrate that electron-donating groups (-OH, -NH 2 ) significantly promote the non-radical pathway dominated by singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), achieving efficient degradation of the electron-rich pollutant sulfamethoxazole (SMX) with removal efficiencies of 93.0% and 91.2%, respectively. Notably, the 1 O 2 contribution rate in the MIL-101(Fe)-OH system reached 95.07%. Correlation analysis reveals a significant positive correlation between C O content and 1 O 2 contribution. Combined experimental characterization and DFT calculations indicate that the selective generation of ROS results from the synergistic effects of multiple factors, including electronic structure, adsorption energy, and charge transfer. Electron-donating groups enhance the electron density at the Fe center, elongate the Fe O bond length, and optimize PMS adsorption energy, thereby promoting the self-disproportionation of the key SO 5 •- intermediate to generate 1 O 2 . This work highlights the promotional role of functional group electronic effects on the non-radical pathway, elucidates the core mechanism governing ROS generation, and provides a mechanistic framework for the design of highly selective Fenton-like catalysts. Environmental implication This study employs an electron-effect-guided ligand functionalization strategy to systematically reveal the structure–activity relationship between the electronic structure and coordination environment of metal nodes in Fe-MOFs and the ROS generation. The electronic effects of functional groups enable the precise regulation of ROS, and electron-donating groups significantly promote nonradical pathways, thereby achieving efficient degradation of the electron-rich contaminant sulfamethoxazole. This work highlights the promotion of nonradical pathways by the electronic effects of functional groups, clarifies the core mechanism governing ROS generation, and provides new insights for the design of highly efficient and selective catalysts.

The practical application of direct-ammonia protonic ceramic fuel cells (DA-PCFCs) is constrained by the sluggish decomposition of ammonia and the structural degradation of conventional Ni-based anodes. Herein, a multifunctional anode is developed by depositing a Sr 2 Fe 1.4 Ru 0.1 Mo 0.5 O 6-δ (SFRM) perovskite catalytic layer onto a Ni-BaZr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3-δ cermet. Under operating conditions, this layer enables the in-situ exsolution of uniformly dispersed and sintering-resistant Ru–Fe alloy (RFA) nanoparticles, thereby creating a stable and catalytically active interface. The SFRM-modified single cell achieves peak power densities of 1.33 cm –2 and 1.02 cm –2 at 700 °C in H 2 and NH 3 , respectively, with the NH 3 -fueled performance representing a 15.9 % improvement over the unmodified single cell. Moreover, the cell exhibits excellent durability, operating stably for over 100 h in NH 3 . Combined experimental and density functional theory calculations reveal that the exsolved RFA nanoparticles not only lower the energy barrier for NH 3 dehydrogenation but also, via strong metal-support interaction, regulate interfacial charge transfer and suppress Ni 0 coarsening. This strategy successfully decouples high catalytic activity from long-term stability, providing an effective pathway for durable, high-performance DA-PCFCs.

Manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) to generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH). In this study, SOD was encapsulated via coordination with Cu(II), Fe(II), and phosphate in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to form a hybrid material denoted as SOD@Cu&Fe&PO 4 . Our study demonstrates that SOD and the coordinated Cu(II)/Fe(II) ions exert a synergistic catalytic effect on •OH generation during H 2 O 2 decomposition. This synergistic behavior stems from the dynamic interplay between the production and consumption of superoxide anion radicals (O 2 •− ). Specifically, O 2 •− is generated as an intermediate in the reactions of coordinated Cu(II) and Fe(II) with H 2 O 2 . The in situ generated O 2 •− is subsequently utilized by encapsulated SOD, which in turn reduces Mn 3 + at the enzyme's active site to Mn 2 + . A continuous supply of O 2 •− to SOD accelerates the Mn 3 + /Mn 2 + redox cycle at its active center. Concurrently, the timely removal of O 2 •− from the Cu(II)/Fe(II)–H 2 O 2 reaction system eliminates the potential inhibition of O 2 •− accumulation, thereby promoting the Fe(III)/Fe(II) and Cu(II)/Cu(I) redox cycles. As a result, SOD@Cu&Fe&PO 4 affords a significantly enhanced •OH generation capacity. Moreover, this hybrid material exhibits enhanced contaminant degradation efficiency and potent antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli (MDR E. coli ) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Graphical O 2 •− is generated as an intermediate in the reactions of coordinated Cu(II) and Fe(II) with H 2 O 2 . The in situ generated O 2 •− is subsequently utilized by encapsulated SOD, which in turn reduces Mn 3 + at the enzyme's active site to Mn 2 + . A continuous supply of O 2 •− to SOD accelerates the Mn 3 + /Mn 2 + redox cycle at its active center.
