As a type of iodinated contrast medium (ICM), the diatrizoate (DTZ) found in aquatic systems has posed a serious threat to the ecosystem and to human health. In this study, Fe(II)-activated persulfate (Fe 2+ /PS) oxidation was employed to degrade DTZ, and the optimal operating conditions were determined. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were adopted to determine the dominant radicals and analyze the degradation paths, respectively. It was found that a PS concentration of 10 mmol/L, an n(Fe 2+ )/n(PS) ratio of 1:10, an initial pH of 3.0, and a high temperature increased the degradation efficiency of DTZ. After suppression of the oxidation process by tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) and methanol (MtOH), the EPR spectra demonstrated that DTZ degradation was attributed to the combined effects of SO 4 − and OH and that OH played a more important role. Based on the theoretical calculation and comparison of the reduction energies of possible degradation products, the path from DTZ to TP630 and then to TP628 and finally to TP602 was recognized as the main DTZ degradation pathway during the Fe 2+ /PS oxidation process. These findings validated and demonstrated that DTZ could be effectively degraded by Fe 2+ /PS oxidation, which is a promising approach to remove DTZ from water.

In this paper, non-aqueous Fe(OH) 3 /palygorskite dispersion was prepared and its liquid crystal phase behavior was investigated. Positively charged Fe(OH) 3 colloidal particles were put in to non-aqueous and organically modified palygorskite dispersion. The effects of organically treated palygorskite and Fe(OH) 3 on the preparation of stable palygorskite dispersion were characterized with FT-IR, XRD , Contact Angle measurement , Zeta potential detection, Settlement measurement and SEM , respectively. The addition of Fe(OH) 3 particles shifted the concentrations of the coexisting isotropic and nematic phases to higher values while at the same time markedly accelerated the phase separation. The influence of Fe(OH) 3 particles on the dispersion in magnetic field was also discussed.

Hybrid flow batteries are one of the most promising technologies for storing the electricity generated from intermittent renewables , such as wind and solar. However, most of the existing hybrid systems currently suffer from low power density and poor cycle performance resulted from the parasitic reactions. To mitigate these issues, here we report a tin-iron hybrid flow battery in which the stannous chloride anolyte is separated from the ferric/ferrous chloride catholyte. With the reversible tin metal deposition/stripping and ferric/ferrous chloride redox reactions at carbon surfaces , the present battery delivers an energy efficiency of 78.5% even at the current density of 200 mA cm −2 . In addition, owing to high hydrogen overvoltage of metallic tin, the parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction in the negative electrode can be largely avoided so that the battery can stably operate over 700 cycles without obvious efficiency decay. With the excellent rate and cycle performance, it is envisioned that the tin-iron flow battery is a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage applications .

The photocatalytic degradation of sulfonamides in aqueous TiO2 suspension under UV irradiation has been investigated using potassium ferrate as electron acceptors. The results showed that the stability of Fe(VI) is dependent on pH significantly, and the stability reduces obviously in the presence of UV-TiO2. The experiments indicated that Fe(VI) could effectively scavenge the conduction band electrons from the surface of TiO2. The photocatalytic oxidation of sulfonamides with Fe(VI) was found to be much faster than that without Fe(VI). The SD, SM, and SMX concentration was greatly reduced by 89.2%, 83.4%, and 82.0%, respectively, after 10 min with UV-TiO2-Fe(VI), comparing to 65.2%, 66.0%, and 71.9%, respectively, with Fe(VI) only in the dark and 71.3%, 72.7%, and 76.0%, respectively, with UV-TiO2. The pH value of solution significantly influenced the sulfonamides degradation in UV-TiO2-Fe(VI) system. The degradation amount of sulfonamides after 10 min was a maximum at pH 7. The intermediate products of sulfonamides oxidation by UV-TiO2-Fe(VI) were analysed by LC-HESI-MS-MS and the results suggested that a majority of sulfonamides turned into large-molecule products without complete mineralization.

The initiators for continuous activator regeneration (ICAR) atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) were investigated in microemulsion under light irradiation with ethyl 2-bromoisbutyrate (EBiB) as an ATRP initiator, ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O) as a catalyst, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,2-ethanediamine (TMEDA) as a ligand, and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator and reducing agent. The linear dependence of ln([M] 0 /[M]) on polymerization time was observed, indicating that the polymerization was living polymerization. Furthermore, the number-average molecular weights (Mn), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and molecular weight distributions (MWD) of the PMMA obtained from GPC were controlled. The product was characterized by 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and GPC. The living features were verified by chain-extended with MMA with the obtained PMMA as macroinitiator.

Fe-doped HTaWO6 (H1−3xFexTaWO6, x = 0.23) nanotubes as highly active solid acid catalysts were prepared via an exfoliation–scrolling–exchange process. The specific surface area and pore volume of undoped nanotubes (20.8 m2 g−1, 0.057 cm3 g−1) were remarkably enhanced through Fe3+ ion-exchange (>100 m2 g−1, 0.547 cm3 g−1). Doping Fe ions into the nanotubes endowed them with improved thermal stability due to the stronger interaction between the intercalated Fe3+ ions and the host layers. This interaction also facilitated the preservation of effective Brønsted acid sites and the generation of new acid sites. The integration of these functional roles resulted in Fe-doped nanotubes with high acidic catalytic activities in the Friedel–Crafts alkylation of anisole and the esterification of acetic acid. Facile accessibility to active sites, generation of effective Brønsted acid sites, high stability of the tubular structure and strong acid sites were found to synergistically contribute to the excellent acidic catalytic efficiency. Additionally, the activity of cycled nanocatalysts can be easily recovered through annealing treatment.

Ni/Fe-Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites were synthesized for dechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP). The effects of the Ni content in Ni/Fe-Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites, solution pH, and common dissolved ions on the dechlorination efficiency were investigated, in addition to the reusability of the nanocomposites. The results showed that increasing content of Ni in Ni/Fe–Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites, from 1 to 5 wt.%, greatly increased the dechlorination efficiency; the Ni/Fe–Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites had much higher dechlorination efficiency than bare Ni/Fe nanoparticles . Ni content of 5 wt.% and initial pH below 6.0 was found to be the optimal conditions for the catalytic dechlorination of 2,4-DCP. Both 2,4-DCP and the intermediate product 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) were completely removed, and the concentration of the final product phenol was close to the theoretical phenol production from complete dechlorination of 20 mg/L of 2,4-DCP, after 3 hr reaction at initial pH value of 6.0, 3 g/L Ni/Fe-Fe 3 O 4 , 5 wt.% Ni content in the composite, and temperature of 22°C. 2,4-DCP dechlorination was enhanced by Cl − and inhibited by NO 3 − and SO 4 2 − . The nanocomposites were easily separated from the solution by an applied magnetic field. When the catalyst was reused, the removal efficiency of 2,4-DCP was almost 100% for the first seven uses, and gradually decreased to 75% in cycles 8–10. Therefore, the Ni/Fe–Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites can be considered as a potentially effective tool for remediation of pollution by 2,4-DCP.

MIL-100(Fe) was used for the first time in the catalytic transformation of hexose sugars into lactic acid (LA). The as-synthesized MIL-100(Fe) was systematically characterized, and its superior morphological and textural properties were demonstrated to contribute greatly to the pronounced catalytic performance in fructose-to-LA conversion (up to 32% yield), as compared with other catalysts like Cu-BTC and MIL-100(Cr). The effects of reaction conditions including temperature, reaction time, and substrate loading were explored. In addition, MIL-100(Fe) could be easily reused for 4 cycles with no evident decrease in catalytic activity.

Hematite displays diverse crystal structures and often coexists with Fe(II), both of which are crucial in controlling the fate and mobility of Cr(VI). However, the mechanisms underlying Cr(VI) removal in the presence of Fe(II) on various hematite facets remain elusive. This study aims to elucidate the facet-dependent reactivity of hematite nanocrystals in conjunction with Fe(II) for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. Hematite nanoplates (HNPs), predominantly composed of {001} facets, and nanorods (HNRs), exposing both {001} and {110} facets, were synthesized and characterized. Their Cr(VI) removal capabilities were evaluated in hematite–Cr(VI) and hematite–Fe(II)–Cr(VI) systems, as well as the Fe(II)–Cr(VI) system. The adsorption of Fe(II) and Cr(VI) on hematite surfaces was highly dependent on the crystal facets and pH, with HNRs demonstrating superior Cr(VI) adsorption over HNPs, especially under acidic conditions. Neutral pH favored Fe(II)–Cr(VI) redox reactions and Fe(II) adsorption. The hematite–Fe(II) couple displayed a synergistic effect in removing Cr(VI) under acidic conditions, which was not observed under neutral conditions. The presence of Fe(II) notably enhanced Cr(VI) adsorption onto hematite, and bound Fe(II) facilitated electron transfer, accelerating Cr(VI) reduction. HNRs–Fe(II) exhibited higher Cr(VI) removal efficiency than HNPs–Fe(II) due to their lower free corrosion potential and improved electron transport properties. This research underscores the potential of facet engineering in optimizing hematite nanocrystals for environmental remediation, specifically in Cr(VI)-contaminated environments.

The rapid development of communication technology has led to severe microwave pollution, which presents a challenge for microwave-absorbing composites. Current research suggests achieving superior microwave absorption requires the use of multi-component operation and ingenious structural design. Consequently, the present study has prepared continuous porous carbon (CPC) materials doped with large amounts of Fe 3 C/Fe nanoparticles (Fe@CPC) using carbonization and acid etching. By balancing the advantages of the above strategies, it is possible to address issues such as poor impedance match, single loss capacity, easy oxidation of magnetic metals/alloys, and the limited absorption bandwidth of conventional absorbing materials at the same time. The material exhibits a minimum reflection loss of −23.2 dB with an efficient absorption range of 5.3 GHz at 1.9 mm at a filler content of just 10 wt% in the paraffin matrix. In this paper, the samples with a continuous porous structure were prepared by a simple method, and the properties were excellent due to the appropriate preparation method and the synergistic effect of the multi-component composite. The porous structure facilitates the presence of a considerable number of active sites, which enables the loading of a substantial quantity of metal ions. Furthermore, nanoparticles are capable of aggregating and dispersing on the surface. This paper presents a theoretical framework for understanding the synergistic effect of microwave radiation through interfacial polarization and micro-scale magnetic interaction. Nevertheless, there are still obstacles to overcome in terms of achieving precise control over the structural design and ensuring the compatible integration of metal components.

Because of their superior power and energy densities, supercapacitors have garnered considerable amounts of attention in energy storage technologies. Co3O4 is considered as a regularly used electrode material for supercapacitors because of its high theoretical capacitance and outstanding electrochemical activity. However, owing to the Co3O4 electrode materials’ rapid capacity decay and low intrinsic conductivity, it is challenging to achieve high theoretical capacitance. As a result, doping Co3O4 with metal components can enhance its electrical and surface characteristics while also raising its conductivity. Through a straightforward hydrothermal reaction and subsequent thermal decomposition, a series of Fe doping into Co3O4 has been successfully realized in this paper. This generates a nanosheet floral cluster structure and exposes more active sites, and the two metal elements work in concert to improve the capacitance performance. The electrochemical performance of the Co-0.2Fe-450 electrode material appears satisfactory when the doping amount of Fe is 0.2 mmol and its thermal decomposition temperature is 450 °C. The specific capacitance at 1 A g−1 is 680 F g−1. The capacitance retention rate at 10 A g−1 current density after 5000 charge–discharge cycles is 84.67%. Notably, the assembled asymmetric supercapacitor retains 105.5% of its capacitance after 5000 cycles and has a power density of 803.13 W kg−1 and an energy density of 17.78 W h kg−1. Fe-doped Co3O4 has a strong future in energy storage, as evidenced by its exceptional electrochemical characteristics.

Doped polymer spheres are essential for preparing targets for the inertial confined fusion (ICF) experiments since they can provide important information about the implosion. To prepare Fe-doped polystyrene (PS) spheres, ferrocene-doped PS spheres were successfully prepared by a straightforward method combining physical doping and microfluidic technology. The effect of ferrocene on the quality of the PS spheres was investigated and the relevant mechanism was discussed. Due to the compatibility of PS, ferrocene and fluorobenzene, the Fe-doped polystyrene spheres exhibited good monodispersity, sphericity and surface finish when the ferrocene content in the oil phase solution was lower than 3 %. These properties can meet stringent design requirements for ICF. This study provides valuable insights for the preparation of doped polymer spheres for ICF experiments.
