Previous reports from our team revealed the significant potential advantage of Mn–Zn ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), whereas anisotropic NPs reportedly increased the blood circulation time of nanocarriers. Thus, anisotropic Mn–Zn ferrite displayed a huge potential in cancer synchronous diagnosis and treatment, that is, enhanced MRI observation was performed simultaneously when drug-targeted delivery therapy was applied to the tumor. Here, we developed three shaped Mn–Zn ferrite (Mn0.63Zn0.37Fe2O4) MNPs used as cancer theranostic nanoagents and compared the effect of the three shaped MNPs on cancer theranostics. Compared to the monodisperse sphere MNPs (S-MNPs-PPR) and clustering MNPs (C-MNPs-PPR), worm-like Mn–Zn ferrite MNPs (W-MNPs-PPR) achieved better results in T2-weighted MRI and achieved more sustained drug release than S-MNPs-PPR and more complete drug release than C-MNPs-PPR in vitro. Additionally, polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating and RGD modification encouraged the three shaped MNPs to evade the recruitment of macrophages more easily and to target the integrin-enriched endothelial cells instead. Meanwhile, W-MNPs-PPR coupled with Paclitaxel (PTX) exhibited more delivery of PTX in the integrin-enriched cells than the other two shaped MNPs, and the content of PTX was far more than that of the wild-type Taxol control group. What is more, in vivo results demonstrated that PTX-coated W-MNPs-PPR not only gained good dual-mode imaging in the tumor (MRI and fluorescence images) but also achieved longer blood circulation time and more PTX-targeted delivery to the tumor, as well as more efficiency in tumor cell killing, which make the simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of tumors to be conducted. Therefore, our works further revealed the importance of the NP shape on its functionality and ultimately provided an alternative and efficient worm-like theranostic nanoagent for tumor theranostics.

Sulfite has been proven to promote advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to achieve low-cost and efficient degradation of contaminants, serving as an alternative to persulfate. In this study, a novel composite Fe/Mn@carbon felt (CF) electrode was successfully constructed to remove carbamazepine (CBZ). The capacity of the Fe/Mn@CF anode to activate sulfite was evaluated under various electrode preparation conditions and operating parameters. Results clearly indicated that the complete removal of CBZ was achieved in Fe/Mn@CF anode activated sulfite system under the specific conditions including Na 2 SO 4 electrolyte concentration of 50 mM, sulfite dosage of 1 mM, initial pH of 7, and current density of 1 mA/cm 2 . The capacity of Fe/Mn@CF anode for sulfite activation was further presented by its excellent reusability and stability in terms of CBZ removal and metal ion release. Both radical and non-radical pathways were significantly contributed to the CBZ removal, including OH, SO 4 · - , O 2 · - , 1 O 2 , and other reasons. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that Fe-Mn bimetals effectively promoted sulfite activation, with the electric field further boosting the process of Fe-Mn valence cycle and oxidation. Overall, the novel Fe/Mn@CF activated sulfite system exhibited outstanding performance and had great potential for sustainable use in removing organics.

The combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) in tumor treatment has attracted considerable attention. However, tumor hypoxia and glutathione (GSH) overproduction in the tumor tissue restricted the progress of their applications. Herein, a Mn-porphyrinic metal–organic framework (Mn-TCPP) was constructed by the one-pot method and further used for immobilizing glucose oxidase (GOx) to obtain GOx@Mn-TCPP. GOx would rapidly exhaust endogenous glucose into hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and gluconic acid, thus shutting off the energy supply of tumor cells for starvation treatment. Mn-TCPP catalyzed H 2 O 2 to produce oxygen, regulating the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and in turn improving 1 O 2 generation under laser irradiation. Interestingly, Mn-TCPP can reduce reactive oxygen species consumption owing to the redox reaction between Mn 3+ and GSH, thus greatly enhancing PDT. Furthermore, benefiting from GOx-mediated starvation therapy, Mn 2+ produced by Mn 3+ reduction can react with sufficient intracellular H 2 O 2 to generate ·OH with high cytotoxicity through a Fenton-like reaction. After treatment by GOx@Mn-TCPP under laser irradiation in vitro, the cell viability of 4T1 and A549 tumor cells reached to 20%, reflecting GOx@Mn-TCPP could give full play to the advantages of PDT/CDT/starvation therapy. The results in vivo demonstrated that GOx@Mn-TCPP mediated synergistic cascade therapy could significantly inhibit tumor growth and improve the therapeutic effect.

A hierarchically flower-like structure with nanoarrays coupled with 3D macroporous sponge graphene combines the preponderances of the hierarchical nanoarchitecture and composition to enhance electrochemical performance. A graphene-karst cave flower-like Ni-Mn layered double oxides (GL) electrode material was prepared through a mild hydrothermal-carbonization process. As an electrode material, the resulting GL composite exhibited excellent performance with high specific capacitance (1,648 and 1,252 F g −1 at 0.5 and 10 A g −1 , respectively) and good cycling stability (almost 96% retention after 6,000 charge-discharge cycles) for energy storage electrode. The GL composite material acting as a positive electrode for the asymmetric supercapacitor also exhibited high specific capacitance of 116.56 F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 and excellent cycling stability with 86.7% capacitance retention after 6,000 cycles at a current density of 5 A g −1 . This outstanding electrochemical performance may be attributed to the synergistic effect of the layered double oxides and 3D macroporous graphene oxide sponge.

A novel (CdS-Mn/MoS 2 /CdTe)-sensitized TiO 2 nanotube arrays (NTAs) photoelectrode has been prepared by electrodeposite, successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) coupled with hydrothermal method . When a ZnS layer was added on the top of CdS-Mn/MoS 2 /CdTe/TiO 2 , a notable red-shift and high absorption was observed in the visible light region. The photocurrent density (mA/cm 2 ) systematically increases from TiO 2 NTAs (0.43), CdTe/TiO 2 (1.09), MoS 2 /CdTe/TiO 2 (1.80), CdS-Mn/MoS 2 /CdTe/TiO 2 (2.40), to ZnS/CdS-Mn/MoS 2 /CdTe/TiO 2 (3.41) under visible light irradiation, due to the type-II semiconductor heterostructures comprising multiple components with a staggered band offset. Such a heterostructure possesses an enhanced photocatalytic performance towards degradation of organic contaminant, e.g. P-Nitrophenol (PNP) and Rhodamine B (RhB) .

Ag-MFe2O4 (M = Co, Mn) nanocomposites were synthesized and loaded onto carbon supports. As-prepared Ag-MFe2O4/C demonstrated higher catalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) than Ag+MFe2O4/C. The direct coupling and electron transfer between Ag and MFe2O4 in nanocomposites were proposed to enhance their catalytic activities. The Koutecky-Levich plots confirmed a direct four-electron reaction pathway for the ORR on Ag-MFe2O4/C. Furthermore, Ag-MFe2O4/C showed superior catalytic activities and excellent stability for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Thus, Ag-MFe2O4/C nanoparticle are potential non-Pt candidates with bi-functional catalytic activity for ORR and OER.

The objective of this paper was to study the influence three promoters (Co, La, Mn) had on the catalytic activity of Rh-based catalysts for autothermal reforming of diesel. The catalysts were supported on CeO 2 -ZrO 2 and the loading was 1 wt.% Rh and 6 wt.% promoter. The catalytic activity was evaluated in a monolith bench scale reactor with Swedish Environmental diesel, MK1. The process parameters employed at the ATR experiments were; O 2 /C ∼ 0.45, H 2 O/C ∼ 2.5 and GHSV ∼ 50,000 h −1 , meanwhile the reactor temperature was ramped from 700 °C to 950 °C. The catalysts were compared based on their fuel conversion, H 2 yield and the selectivity of different short-chain hydrocarbons. The results showed that all three catalysts had both high fuel conversion and H 2 yield in the optimal ATR operation temperatures. The H 2 yield and fuel conversion were increasing in the order Rh/Mn, Rh/La, Rh/Co. To get further insight in the difference between the materials the fresh and aged catalytic materials were characterized. The characterization methods used were H 2 -temperature programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and BET surface measurements. The BET surface measurements showed that promotion with La gave improved thermal stability of the material. The XRD showed a high dispersion of all metals except Co, which was present as crystals in the size range of the particles of the support.

Visible-light-driven manganese doped SrTiO 3 nanocubes with various manganese atomic percentages in the range of 3–7%, were prepared by a hydrothermal method. These obtained photocatalysts were systematically characterized by XRD, EDX, TEM, STEM, XPS, UV–vis, PL, EIS. The results demonstrated that the Mn 4+ has substituted into the lattice of SrTiO 3 nanocubes and the absorption onset shifted toward the visible region. It is beneficial to the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline under the visible light irradiation. Interestingly, the optimal doping atomic percentages at 5% exhibited the highest degradation rates (66.7%) in 60 min. The high photocatalytic activity could be ascribed to the Mn doping adjustment the energy band of SrTiO 3 and the highly effective separation of photo-generated electron–hole pairs. Furthermore, the possible photocatalytic mechanism has been discussed based on the active species trapping experiments and ESR analysis.

A series of Mn-doped CdS hollow sphere photocatalysts has been directly synthesized by a simple and facile hydrothermal route for the first time. It was demonstrated that GSH acts as the S source and a gas bubble-template in this process. The products were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, XPS, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The as-prepared CdS and Mn-doped CdS hollow spheres all showed much higher activity than P25 under visible light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation. Among them, the 2.0 mol% Mn-doped CdS sample exhibited the highest photoactivity for the removal of organic pollutant RhB, and about 99.2% MO was decomposed after 50 min of visible light irradiation. Moreover, this catalyst also showed good stability, and after four cycles, the degradation efficiency still remained at 85%. The excellent photoactivity of the as-prepared Mn-doped CdS hollow spheres could be attributed to the synergistic effects of its appropriate band-gap structure and the special porous spherical morphology. The unique hollow sphere structure may favor the harvesting of excited light due to its special multiple scattering effect within the interior space, and the doping of Mn2+ may facilitate the generation of photoinduced electrons and hole pairs, and inhibit their recombination rate by acting as temporary trapping sites. This material may have great application potentials in environmental remediation and energy harvesting.

Ni modified Ce 0.6 Mn 0.3 Fe 0.1 O 2 (Ni-CMF) material is evaluated as an anode material for hybrid direct carbon fuel cell (HDCFC). The Temperature Programmed Reaction (TPR) and GC test results show that the Ni additive significantly promotes the oxidation of carbon and consequently accelerates the formation rate of CO. Moreover, the Ni-CMF material is found to show a high electrical conductivity compared to pure CMF in HDCFC operating conditions. Taking advantage of the excellent catalytic activity and high conductivity, the electrolyte-supported HDCFC with Ni-CMF anode shows a high maximum power density of 580.7 mW cm −2 at 800 °C, when activated carbon is used as the fuel. Furthermore, the cell displays good stability under galvanostatic operation at current density of 50 mA cm −2 at 750 °C. These results indicate that the designed Ni-CMF composite material has the potential to be developed as an alternative anode for HDCFCs.

Efficient removal of extremely mobile and toxic As(III) from water is a challenging but critical task. Herein, we developed a functionalized sorbent of chitosan nanofiber with iron–manganese (Fe-Mn@CS NF) using a one-step hybrid electrospinning approach to remove trace As(III) from water. Batch adsorption studies were performed to determine the adsorption efficiency under a variety of conditions, including contact time, starting concentration of As(III), ionic strength, and the presence of competing anions. The experimental results demonstrated that the concentration of As(III) dropped from 550 to less than 1.2 µg/L when using 0.5 g/L Fe-Mn@CS NF. This demonstrates the exceptional adsorption efficiency (99.8%) of Fe-Mn@CS NF for removing As(III) at pH 6.5. The kinetic tests revealed that the adsorption equilibrium was reached in 2.6 h, indicating a quick uptake of As(III). The ionic strength effect analysis showed that the adsorbed As(III) formed inner-sphere surface complexes with Fe-Mn@CS NF. The presence of SO42−or F−had a negligible impact on As(III) uptake, while the presence of PO43−impeded As(III) absorption by competing for adsorption sites. The exhausted sorbent could be effectively regenerated with a dilute NaOH solution. Even after 10 cycles of regenerating Fe-Mn@CS NF, the adsorption efficiency of As(III) in natural groundwater was maintained over 65%. XPS and FTIR analyses show that the presence of M–OH and C–O groups on the sorbent surface is essential for removing As(III) from water. Overall, our study highlights the significant potential of Fe-Mn@CS NF for the efficient and quick elimination of As(III) from water.

In this work, ultrasonic-assisted laser cladding technology was employed to fabricate shape memory alloy (SMA) coatings composed of Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni on the surface of 304 stainless steel. Both experimental and simulated results unequivocally demonstrate a substantial improvement in both microhardness and wear resistance of the metal surface. Subsequently, a superhydrophobic coating with an “armor-like” structure was comprehensively prepared by integrating femtosecond laser (FSL) and nano SiO 2 spray-coating techniques. The creation of this microstructure on the coating surface efficiently facilitated the high-efficiency embedding of nano SiO 2 particles. Notably, the modified SMA coating exhibited stable superhydrophobic properties and exceptional corrosion resistance. This research not only provides novel approaches and methods for the preparation and modification of Fe-based memory alloy coatings but also highlights potential applications in the corrosion-resistant field. The work offers valuable insights for researchers in the field of materials science, emphasizing the synergistic effects of ultrasound-assisted laser cladding technology, femtosecond laser, and nano SiO 2 spraying techniques. It provides robust support for the development of new functional coatings.
