In Fenton-like processes, achieving rapid and efficient redox cycling of metal active centers remains a challenge. This study presents an innovative strategy that harnesses the mechanical energy of water flow to drive the redox cycling of metal active centers. Herein, Fe 3 O 4 /MoS 2 heterojunction with interfacial Mo-S-Fe bridge bonds was constructed via a one-step hydrothermal method. Under the stimulation induced by water-flow mechanical, the piezoelectric effect of MoS 2 generates charge carriers, which are rapidly directed to Fe active sites through the Mo-S-Fe bonds. This process significantly accelerates the Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle and enhances H 2 O 2 activation, achieving 93.8% removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) within 60 min under water flow stimulation. The composite exhibits robust performance across a broad pH range (3.0-10.7) and in the presence of humic acid (HA) and coexisting anions, demonstrating its strong environmental adaptability. Spectroscopic evidence confirmed the formation of Mo-S-Fe bonds at the heterojunction interface. Mechanistic studies further revealed that the structure improves charge separation, promotes rapid electron transfer from MoS 2 to Fe sites, and strengthens H 2 O 2 adsorption, thereby synergistically boosting reactive oxygen species (ROSs) generation and the overall catalytic efficiency. This study proposes an innovative strategy that exploits mechanical forces generated by water flow to drive rapid redox cycling of active metal centers in Fenton-like reactions.

The photocatalytic behavior of the graphene oxide (GO) modified Fe(III)/peroxymonosulfate (Fe/PMS) system for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation was investigated. With the addition of GO, a dramatic enhancement of BPA degradation was obtained at pH 3.0 under visible light irradiation. According to ESR analysis and quenching tests, both SO 4 - and OH are responsible for BPA degradation. The characterization analysis demonstrates that Fe(III) can chelate with the oxygenic functional groups on the surface of GO forming a stable GO-Fe(III) complex. The detections of different kinds of Fe species reveal that Fe(III) can be reduced to Fe(II) by GO via intramolecular electron transfer in the GO-Fe(III) complex, and visible light could enhance this process. The Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle not only occurs on the surface of GO, but also in aqueous solution via homogeneous reactions. In addition, the degradation pathway of BPA was proposed based on the identification of the intermediates using GC–MS and LC-MS techniques.

Abiotic Fe (II) oxidation widely occurs in the natural subsurface environment and engineered dynamic processes, which possibly impacts the growth of indigenous microbes. As previously discovered, the oxidation of aqueous Fe 2+ at neutral pH effectively inactivates iron-reducing bacteria Shewanella oneidensis strain MR-1 (MR-1). Herein, the impacts of co-existing iron mineral on the oxidation of aqueous Fe 2+ and the subsequent disinfection activity on MR-1 were investigated with siderite selected as a representative iron mineral in the subsurface environment. The oxidation rate of aqueous Fe 2+ and the amount of generated OH radical increased as the content of siderite increased, while the MR-1 inactivation was alleviated. An initial concentration of 2.0 × 10 6 CFU/mL MR-1 was inactivated by about 2.7 orders of magnitude during oxidation of 0.2 mM FeSO 4 alone for 30 min, which was reduced to only about 0.6 orders of magnitude in the presence of 4.3 mM co-existing siderite. ROS scavenging results confirmed that the OH radical generated in the bulk solution was not the leading role for the inactivation of MR-1. Morphological changes of the cells observed by SEM demonstrated that the disruption of the cell membrane was alleviated by siderite, which was further supported by the XRD and FTIR spectra. The underlying mechanism was proposed to be the reduced contact time of Fe 2+ and MR-1 cells due to the accelerated oxidation. This work provides new insights into the disinfection behavior of heterogeneous Fe (II) oxidation on iron cycling bacterial in the natural environment.

Amorphous Fe(II)–Fe(III) hydroxy complex with flower-like nanostructure was synthesized by ferric reduction using a microwave-assisted ethylene glycol approach. Here we investigated the correlation between its chemical composition and the removal rate for Congo red (CR) dye. The results showed that the amorphous complex had similar reduction and anion exchange capacities to the green rust. Due to the synergistic effect of attractive electrostatic interaction, anion exchange, ferrous redox and hydrogen bonding, the Fe(II)–Fe(III) hydroxy complex exhibited strong adsorption of CR with an estimated adsorption capacity up to 513 mg g −1 . In contrast, the Fe(III) hydroxy complex had an adsorption capacity of 296 mg g −1 because of the predominant mechanism based on the electrostatic interaction. The present study provides a facile synthesis of nanostructured iron hydroxy complex, with superior performance in adsorbing CR.

Water-based lubricants are environmentally sustainable, but their inherently low viscosity is not conducive to the formation of stable lubricating films. To address this challenge, we propose a biomimetic strategy that integrates polydopamine (PDA) adhesion and hyaluronic acid (HA) hydration lubrication via Fe³ ⁺ coordination. The PDA-Fe³ ⁺-HA (PFH) ternary composite was prepared stepwise: Fe³ ⁺ coordinated with PDA catechol groups and interacted with HA chains through ionic crosslinking and chelation, thereby anchoring HA onto PDA. Tribological tests of UHMWPE/tin bronze tribopairs lubricated with the optimal PFH composite (mass ratio) showed that, compared with pure water, the average friction coefficient and wear rate decreased by up to 43.93% and 60.28%, respectively. The lubrication mechanism involves three synergistic effects: (i) Fe³ ⁺-enhanced PDA anchoring forms a stable adhesive layer; (ii) surface-exposed HA chains provide a hydrated low-shear lubrication layer; (iii) Fe³ ⁺ coordination bridges PDA and HA, integrating adhesion and lubrication functions. This bioinspired design offers an eco-friendly lubricant additive strategy. Download: Download high-res image (247KB) Download: Download full-size image

Synthesis of high-purity and ultrafine amorphous nanoparticles (AmN) is critical for nanoglass fabrication. Herein, high-purity Fe 67 B 33 AmN with an average size of ∼12.5 nm (counted from 240 nanoparticles via ImageJ) were synthesized for the first time via a soft-mechanochemical method. These AmN were consolidated into a partially dense Fe-B nanoglass with a crystallization temperature of ∼450 °C. Nanoindentation tests reveal that the nanoglass has an average hardness of 6.6 ± 0.3 GPa and an elastic modulus of 114 ± 4 GPa, and undergoes homogeneous deformation without shear band formation. This work demonstrates the soft-mechanochemical method as a promising route for preparing ultrafine AmN for nanoglass fabrication.

(Fe/Zn/Ni)O·(Fe/Al) 2 O 3 spinels are widely used as raw materials for advanced ceramics and refractories and occur as precipitates in slag phases during nonferrous metal pyrometallurgy. The stability and phase-transformation mechanisms of these spinels are important for optimizing material performance and controlling metallurgical processes. The decomposition of Fe 3 O 4 , FeAl 2 O 4 , ZnFe 2 O 4 , ZnAl 2 O 4 , NiFe 2 O 4 , and NiAl 2 O 4 under various atmospheres was experimentally investigated, and phase evolution during reduction was elucidated. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses and reduction experiments showed that Fe(II)-bearing spinels tended to decompose at elevated temperatures in air. ZnFe 2 O 4 and ZnAl 2 O 4 were stable at temperatures up to 1500 °C in air and in an atmosphere with p O2 = 10 −6 atm. At low oxygen partial pressure, aluminate spinels exhibited greater stability. The reduction kinetics of these spinels were also analyzed. The reduction of Fe 3 O 4 , ZnFe 2 O 4 , NiFe 2 O 4 , and NiAl 2 O 4 was described by the Avrami-Erofeev model, indicating that the reduction process was controlled by the nucleation rate. The reduction of ZnAl 2 O 4 was described by a diffusion model.

The electrocatalytic co-reduction of nitrate (NO 3 − ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into urea represents a potential avenue for achieving efficient urea production. However, this process involves intricate C–N coupling reactions and faces a severe kinetic mismatch between the reduction pathways. This disparity typically leads to a disproportionate coverage of key C- and N-containing intermediates on the catalyst surface, resulting in dominant competitive side reactions. Herein, we report the design of a heterogeneous FeNi@AC catalyst that integrates isolated Fe single atoms and Fe–Ni dual-atom sites at the atomic scale, enabling the efficient conversion of NO 3 − and CO 2 into urea. Combined experimental and theoretical investigations reveal that the isolated Fe single-atom sites retain high nitrate reduction capability. Crucially, the introduction of Ni induces an electronic reconfiguration of the Fe center, which significantly lowers the energy barrier for CO 2 activation (from 0.7 eV to 0.1 eV). This activation effectively bridges the kinetic gap between C- and N-species. Consequently, the FeNi@AC catalyst achieves a urea yield rate of 13.6 mmol g –1 h –1 and a Faradaic efficiency of 51.7% at –0.8 V (vs RHE). This work not only presents an active catalyst for urea synthesis but also provides a site-specific regulation strategy for designing multifunctional atomic-site catalysts tailored for complex tandem reactions.

The Fe/FeCl2-Graphite molten salt battery is a promising technology for large-scale energy storage, offering a long lifespan, a low operating temperature (<200 °C), and cost efficiency. However, its practical applications are hindered by the lack of a scalable preparation approach and insufficient redox stability in the Fe/FeCl2 electrode. Our study introduces an electrochemical anodic electrolysis (EAE) strategy, employing the anodic process (Fe → Fe2+) in an Al|AlCl3/NaCl/LiCl|Fe electrolysis system for the Fe/Fe2+ negative electrode in the Fe/FeCl2-Graphite battery. The EAE strategy forms an oxidized film, preventing incipient dissolution in the electrolyte and addressing redox stability issues with FeCl2 as the active substance. The Fe/Fe2+ negative electrode prepared by the EAE strategy exhibits a stabilized capacity of 0.72 mAh/cm2 after 7000 cycles at 5 mA/cm2, with a lower polarization level (∼29 mV) compared to FeCl2 as the active component. The flexibility of the EAE strategy is validated in both galvanostatic and potentiostatic processes, with a discharge capacity of 14 mAh after 1000 cycles, a capacity retention rate of 85%, and a Coulombic efficiency of 98% in the potentiostatic anodic electrolysis Fe/Fe2+ electrode. The scalability and reliability of the EAE strategy are further demonstrated in capacity-expanded Fe/FeCl2-Graphite batteries, reaching a discharge capacity of 155.1 mAh after 1000 cycles at 130 mA, with a capacity retention rate of 94%. For the first time, we showcased an EAE approach capable of producing Fe/Fe2+ electrodes at a rate of about 68.6 m2 per day. Additionally, we successfully assembled an Fe/FeCl2-Graphite battery at about a 0.42 ampere-hour level, paving the way for the scalable application of Fe/FeCl2-Graphite batteries.

Persulfate-based (PS-based) advanced oxidation process is a promising technology for degradation of organic pollutants . PS activation needs efficient and economical catalysts and heterogeneous Fe-carbon composites are competitive. Herein, novel N-doped biochar-loaded nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) composites (Fe@N-BC) were synthesized and evaluated for PS activation. Detailed characterization data indicated that graphitic and pyridine N structures were introduced by N-doping, which enhanced the anchoring, dispersion and loading of amorphous nZVI on biochar. Remarkably, the optimized Fe@N-BC material, Fe@N 2 -BC 900 , presented excellent catalytic performance for PS activation for lindane removal. The N-doped defects in biochar acted as reactive bridges and accelerated the electron transfer between nZVI and PS, showing strong synergistic effects toward nZVI. O 2 • − and 1 O 2 were the dominant active species in catalytic systems. Additionally, Fe@N 2 -BC 900 catalyst showed effectiveness over a wide pH range for lindane removal. This work provides a new approach to the rational design and application of Fe@N-BC for persulfate activation in pollution control, which is certified by deep exploration of reaction mechanism.

The slow reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) in electro-Fenton technology limits pollutant removal and causes Fe sludge production. This study hypothesizes that Shewanella, a dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria, can accelerate the iron reduction of the Fenton reaction. A Shewanella biofilm coupled with Fe2O3 coated electrode (F/S) was used to drive the electro-Fenton reaction, and compared the results with the singlet Fe2O3 (F) anode and Shewanella biofilm anode (S). Meanwhile, dissolved oxygen (DO) is studied as an important influencing factor. The suitable DO was verified at ∼2 mg/L, phenol removal of F/S was 67% higher than that of the sum of three other singlet systems. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was 72% and 50% higher than that of F and S, respectively. F/S corrosion current (Icorr) was 6.3 times higher than F, and induced hematite to transform into Fe2PO5 and FeOOH on the anode. Long-term operation showed that phenol was almost 100% removed for F/S; COD removal was generally 20% higher than F; thus, the toxicity of the effluent could be significantly decreased. The total Fe loss did not exceed 10% at the end of operation. This paper provides a feasibly novel method for electro-Fenton reaction, by employing Fe-reducing bacteria.
