Fe-Doped NiO multi-shelled microspheres have been synthesized via a facile hydrothermal reaction. Various characterization techniques were introduced to investigate the structure and morphology of the as-prepared Fe-doped NiO multi-shelled microspheres. SEM and TEM observations showed that NiO microspheres are about 500 nm in diameter and with three shells. The Fe-doped NiO multi-shelled microspheres were investigated systematically as gas sensing materials for chemiresistive semiconductor-based gas sensors. The results showed that the 1.92 at% Fe-doped NiO (1.92Fe-NiO) multi-shelled microspheres exhibited enhanced gas sensing performance compared to the pure NiO multi-shelled microspheres. The gas response of 1.92Fe-NiO multi-shelled microspheres to 100 ppm butanol was 45.1 at 140 °C, which revealed a remarkable improvement over the pure NiO multi-shelled microspheres (6.80). The increased response of 1.92Fe-NiO multi-shelled microspheres may be attributed to the incorporation of Fe ions into NiO nanocrystals, which adjusted the carrier concentration and caused an increase in the oxygen species on the adsorbed surface. Therefore, the Fe-doped NiO multi-shelled microspheres should be a promising material for high performance butanol gas sensors.

Modern technological pressure for property-directing structural design of Fe/oxide core–shell nanoparticles (NPs) requires the basic understanding of the formation mechanisms and the ability to effectively tune the structures. In this work, in-depth transmission electron microscopy characterization reveals the formation of an Fe/Fe3O4 core–shell structure when iron NPs were oxidized at room temperature. More importantly, we present the first atomically resolved dynamical images showing the redox reactions in Fe/oxide NPs at high temperature (400–600 °C). The real-time videos show the unambiguous evidence of the reduction and incorporation of oxygen species along the specific interfaces, leading to the reduction of Fe3O4 to FeO and oxidation of Fe to Fe3O4, which are further investigated based on the theoretical calculations. Meanwhile, it is found that the passive Fe3O4 shell may provide the oxygen ions for the further oxidation of the Fe core at high temperature. These findings contribute to a comprehensive scenario for the structural evolution in metal/oxide nanostructures for improved device design and modeling.

Industrial waste, urban sewage and aquaculture have led to severely increased grades of environment pollutants such as dyes, pesticides and fertilizer. The use of technologies for purifying contaminated waters can be difficult and toxic due to the anti-photolysis, anti-oxidation and anti-bio-oxidation characteristics of organic pollutants, and there is therefore a significant need for new approaches. Here, we report methods of Fenton oxidation and EDTA-Fe(III) Fenton-like oxidation which can be used to degrade malachite green (MG: a dye and antibiotic-like substance) from contaminated water. Compared with the degradation rate (59.34%) of the Fe(III)/H 2 O 2 Fenton process, the EDTA-Fe(III) Fenton-like oxidation got a better degradation rate (92.7%) at neutral pH conditions . By conducting a series of parallel controlled experiments (changing parameters such as the reactant concentration , temperature, and pH), we report the relationships between the degradation effect and different parameters, and we fitted their pseudo first order kinetic curves. Furthermore, we repeated to adjustment of the concentrations of MG in solutions to test the cycle performance and catalytic activities of EDTA-Fe(III)/H 2 O 2 system and it showed good repeatability in the first five rounds and all of them keep the degradation efficiencies greater than 80%. By conducting comparative spin-trapping electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments, we showed indirectly that the OH contributes to the degradation of MG. Additionally, the results of the EPR experiments showed that EDTA contributes to the generation of OH in the EDTA-Fe(III)/H 2 O 2 Fenton-like system. By conducting total organic carbon (TOC) analysis experiments, we found that EDTA was also oxidized to some extent during the degradation of MG. In all, the findings of this work widen the range of the optimal pH values up to neutral condition for degradation of MG by use of EDTA-Fe(III) Fenton-like system. And this system could be used as one approach for the degradation of organic pollutants at neutral conditions and provide some initial information regarding EDTA-Fe(III) Fenton-like oxidations. It's significant for the expansion of the homogenous Fenton-like family and its application in the field of water treatment .

Recently, in situ detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generated from live cells have caused tremendous attention, because it is of great significance in the control of multiple biological processes. Herein, Fe–N–C single-atom nanozymes (Fe–N–C SAzymes) with intrinsic peroxidase-like activity were successfully prepared via high-temperature calcination using FeCl2, glucose, and dicyandiamide as precursors. The Fe–N–C SAzymes with FeNx as active sites were similar to natural metalloproteases, which can specifically enhance the peroxidase-like activity rather than oxidase-like activity. Accordingly, owing to the excellent catalytic efficiency of the Fe–N–C SAzymes, colorimetric biosensing of H2O2 in vitro was performed via a typical 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine induced an allochroic reaction, demonstrating the satisfactory specificity and sensitivity. With regard to the practical application, in situ detection of H2O2 generated from the Hela cells by the Fe–N–C SAzymes was also performed, which can expand the applications of the newborn SAzymes.

An Fe-based catalyst was used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the ozonation of industrial wastewater , and key operational parameters (pH and catalyst dosage) were studied. The results indicated that the Fe-based catalyst significantly improved the mineralization of organic pollutants in wastewater. TOC (total organic carbon) removal was high, at 78.7%, with a catalyst concentration of 200 g/L, but only 31.6% with ozonation alone. The Fe-based catalyst significantly promoted ozone decomposition by 70% in aqueous solution. Hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were confirmed to be existed directly via EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) experiments, and ·OH were verified to account for about 34.4% of TOC removal with NaHCO 3 as a radical scavenger. Through characterization by SEM-EDS (field emission scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive spectrometer), XRD (X-ray powder diffraction) and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), it was deduced that FeOOH on the surface of the catalyst was the dominant contributor to the catalytic efficiency. The catalyst was certified as having good stability and excellent reusability based on 50 successive operations and could be used as a filler simultaneously. Thereby, it is a promising catalyst for practical industrial wastewater advanced treatment.

Electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate (NO3RR) to ammonia offers a promising approach for mitigating the environmental impact of NO3–, while simultaneously enabling the synthesis of NH3 under ambient conditions. Recently, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been proven to have attractive activity on NO3RR, and better catalysts with enhanced activity and stability are still in demand. Here, we report the efficient boosting of NH3 production via the NO3RR using boron-doped Fe SAC (Fe-BCN). Fe-BCN is a normal 12-hedral nanoparticle with a size of 500 nm. The NH3 Faradaic efficiency of Fe-BCN reached 97.48%, with a high ammonia production rate of 2.17 mg cm–2 h–1, in an alkaline electrolyte environment at an electrode potential of −0.3 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode. Density functional theory calculations revealed the strategy of introduced B regulating the intermediate adsorption on Fe-BCN, which enhanced the NO3RR activity. Furthermore, leveraging the high NO3RR activity of Fe-BCN, a nitrate-zinc battery with a power density of 0.90 mW cm–2 was constructed by using Fe-BCN as the cathode and zinc as the anode, respectively. This research demonstrates the broad prospects of Fe-BCN in the NO3RR and provides insights for high-performance Fe SAC electrode materials.

Fluorescent hydrogel were developed for Fe(II) detection to overcome the shortcomings of simple carbon dots solutions (CDs), which are difficult to store and use. CDs were prepared using the hydrothermal synthesis with o -phenylenediamine and dopamine as the carbon sources. Fluorescent hydrogel (CACDs) were obtained by doping CDs in and impregnating them with carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel (CA) prepared using crosslinked carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), which was grafted using acrylamide as the substrate. Using CDs and CA as a fluorescent group and a backbone, respectively, enhanced the fluorescence performance and facilitated Fe(II) detection. The surface groups, elemental composition and optical properties of the prepared CDs and CACDs were systematically studied using FTIR, XRD, UV–Vis and fluorescence spectrometer. The effects of pH, temperature, NaCl salt solution and UV irradiation on the stability of CDs in the hydrogel were discussed. CACDs exhibited strong, bright yellow fluorescence with a fluorescence intensity 4.35 times higher than that of CDs. CACDs can be used as fluorescent probes to realise real-time detection of Fe(II) at a low detection limit (0.22 μM), allowing them to be employed for Fe(II) detection in real water samples. CACDs had stable adsorption properties for Fe(II). The adsorption process of metal ions conformed to pseudo-second order kinetics and Langmuir model, respectively. Therefore, CACDs are expected to be bifunctional materials for effective detection and removal of Fe(II).

The surface acidity and structure of catalysts play crucial roles in cinnamaldehyde (CAL) selective hydrogenation to manufacture cinnamyl alcohol (COL). Herein, a Co–Fe-supported acidified bentonite catalyst (Co–Fe/ACBT) was prepared via sulfuric acid treatment of bentonite (BT) and the traditional impregnation method. The combination study, including FT-IR spectra of adsorbed pyridine and ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), showed that Co–Fe/ACBT has vast acidic sites mainly originating from surface unsaturated metal sites of ACBT, which prefer to adsorb polar >CO but not nonpolar >CC<. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) verified that the effect of electron transfer was significantly enhanced when the active metal was loaded on ACBT, leading to an increase in the electron cloud density of the Co species, which promoted the activation of >CO. Due to the modified electronic properties of Co species and abundant acidic sites, Co–Fe/ACBT exhibited a 90.5% conversion and 86.8% hydrogenation selectivity from CAL to COL, which are notably greater than those of the Co–Fe-supported bentonite catalyst (32.0% CAL conversion and 66.4% COL selectivity).

In this study, a novel bimetallic iron/nickel nanoparticles supported on biochar (BC@Fe/Ni) was established to degrade nitrate pollution in water. The nanocomposite was prepared from steel pickling waste liquor and sugarcane bagasse, which are made at low cost. The particle sizes of the nanocomposite ranged from about 10 nm to 20 nm and its specific surface area (59.83 m 2 /g) was about 71% bigger than that of nanoscale zero valent iron prepared from steel pickling waste liquor (S-NZVI), which proved that biochar had an excellent dispersal effect on bimetallic iron/nickel particles. Without controlling the pH, high nitrate removal rates over 93% could be realized in nitrate concentrations below 50 mg/L. The results of batch experiments demonstrated that the kinetics curves fitted the pseudo-first-order reaction well. And it was also found that higher dosages of the nanocomposite, lower initial nitrate concentrations, and acid medium facilitated nitrate degradation. In addition, the observed pseudo-first order rate coefficient in nitrate (20 mg/L) degradation rate by 4 g/L of the bimetallic iron/nickel supported on biochar was 30% faster than that by 2 g/L the bimetallic iron/nickel nanoparticles , due to the existence of biochar. And it was 75% faster than that by 2 g/L the nanoscale zero valent iron due to the existence of both biochar and the nanoscale zero valent nickel catalyst. Furthermore, iron and nickel ion pollution occurred in the denitrification system with bimetallic iron/nickel nanoparticles but not in that with the bimetallic iron/nickel nanoparticles supported on biochar, due to the biochar’s adsorption. After denitrification by the bimetallic iron/nickel nanoparticles supported on biochar, most of nitrate turned into ammonia (17.04 mg/L) and there only was a small amount of nitrite (0.024 mg/L) with high nitrate removal rate (99.5%). And most of ammonia can be absorbed by cation exchange resin with finial ammonia concentration of 0.58 mg/L. At last, the concentrations of nitrate (0.24 mg/L), nitrite (0.021 mg/L), and total nitrogen (0.84 mg/L) were lowest in the nanocomposite system. Overall, the bimetallic iron/nickel nanoparticles supported on biochar exhibited clear advantages over bimetallic iron/nickel nanoparticles and nanoscale zero valent iron with respect to degrading nitrate efficiently, preventing iron and nickel pollution and removing ammonia pollution in combination with cation exchange resin .

In this study, a novel composite containing an iron based metal-organic framework (MOF) and BiOBr was successfully synthesized by a simple method, and was fully characterized by X-ray diffraction patterns, Fourier transform infrared spectra, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, and transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, the photocatalytic activities of BiOBr/MIL-88B(Fe) composites and the pure materials were evaluated by measuring the degradation of Rhodamine B under visible light. The results show that the composite exhibits better photocatalytic activities than pure materials, which can be ascribed to the high adsorption capacity of MIL-88B(Fe) and the enhanced separation of photogenerated charge carriers from assembly of MIL-88B(Fe) on BiOBr. And the effects of various operating parameters such as catalyst dosage, medium pH, the mass ratio of BiOBr, and MIL-88B(Fe) and the dye initial concentration on the degradation of RhB have been studied.

XRD, SEM and TEM are employed to characterize the morphology and microstructure of the as-synthesized IPB. First-principles calculation is introduced to study the electrochemical mechanism. Generally, the environmental friendliness and low cost of the material make it possible to be used for large-scale electric storage applications.

We report a versatile approach for the colorimetric assay of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity based on the distinctive metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) absorption properties of Fe(II)-phenanthroline reporter. In the presence of ALP, the applied substrate ascorbic acid 2-phosphate is enzymatically hydrolyzed to produce ascorbic acid, which then reduces Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ . The complexation of Fe 2+ with the bathophenanthroline disulfonate (BPS) ligand generates a blood-red Fe(BPS) 3 4− reporter, which is characterized by an intense MLCT absorption band at 535 nm in the visible range. Under optimal conditions, the spectral output exhibits a good quantitative relationship with ALP activity over the range of 0–220 mU mL −1 with a detection limit of 0.94 mU mL −1 . Moreover, the activity of ALP can also be conveniently judged through naked-eye observations. Results indicate that it is highly selective and can be applied to the screening of ALP inhibitors. In addition, it has been successfully employed to detect the endogenous ALP level of undiluted human serum samples, with a detection limit of 1.05 mU mL −1 being achieved. This approach avoids any elaborately designed substrates and holds considerable simplicity and flexibility for reporter design. This study broadens the horizon of the applications of phenanthroline-based transition metal complexes. Furthermore, an efficient and practical method like this has the potential to be widely used in clinical applications and in the point-of-care testing.
