MIL-101(Cr) is an ideal material for wastewater treatment due to its large specific surface area, excellent water stability, and chemical stability. However, its limited light absorption capacity hinders its application. We loaded ferrocene carboxylic acid (Fc-COOH) onto MIL-101(Cr) by a post-synthetic modification method, which resulted in the MOF possessing excellent optical properties while maintaining its original skeleton structure. The MIL-101(Cr)/Fc-COOH (1:2), (abbreviated as CFCC-2) exhibited the best performance, achieving a removal rate of 96% for tetracycline (TC) in just 30 min. This removal rate is significantly higher compared to MIL-101(Cr) and Fc-COOH, which achieved removal rates of only 15% and 21%, respectively. We propose a possible Z-type heterojunction mechanism between MIL-101(Cr) and Fc-COOH to explain the excellent photocatalytic performance of CFCC-2. The intermediates in TC were identified using LC-MS, and the toxicity of these intermediates was predicted and evaluated through the Toxicity Estimation Software Tool (T.E.S.T.). This study provides new insights into the design and fabrication of MIL-101(Cr)-based catalysts as photodegrading organic pollutants.

The hydrogenation of CO2to methanol over Cu-based catalysts is one of the attractive routes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and generate high-value-added chemicals. Industrial CuZnAl catalysts possess some shortcomings, but various promoters can enhance the activity and durability of Cu-based catalysts for CO2hydrogenation. Herein, we systematically investigated the variations in the physicochemical properties of ternary CuZnM (M: Cr, Ce, Zr, Al) catalysts induced by different promoters, as well as their impact on CO2hydrogenation to methanol. The results demonstrate that the catalytic activity followed the order of CZCr > CZCe > CZZr > CZAl, with CZCr exhibiting the highest stability among them. Combined with XRD, SEM, TEM, H2-TPR, TPD, XPS, Raman findings and the experimental results, the smaller Cu particle size was conducive to increasing the CH3OH yield, and the lower Cu+/Cu0ratio exhibited better stability in CO2hydrogenation to methanol reaction. This approach offers theoretical insights and practical solutions for the industrial application of ternary Cu-based catalysts.

The controllable Curie temperature and high magnetic permeability of NiCuZn ferrites make them promising candidates for magnetic thermal medium. However, the temperature control of existing NiCuZn ferrite materials is not accurate enough to achieve the low Curie temperature required for tumor hyperthermia. In order to further achieve the desired Curie temperature and facilitate the advancement of temperature control materials for tumor hyperthermia, Cr–Mg co-doped NiCuZn ferrite was studied. The study investigated the influence of varying concentrations of Cr 3+ on the crystal structure and magnetic properties of Mg–NiCuZn ferrites. The results of structural characterization demonstrate that Cr–Mg co-doped NiCuZn ferrites exhibit high density and uniform distribution of elements. The introduction of Cr 3+ leads to a reduction in lattice parameters and a preference for octahedral B-sites. The hysteresis loop results show that the saturation magnetization first increases and then decreases with the increase of Cr 3+ concentration. Ni 0.09 Mg 0.20 Cu 0.14 Zn 0.60 Fe 1.89 Cr 0.050 O 3.94 ferrite at 0.30 wt% of Bi 2 O 3 exhibits optimal magnetic characteristics, including a saturation magnetization of ∼36.7 emu/g, low coercivity of ∼0.07 kA/m, high permeability of ∼982.43 @1 MHz, and an appropriate Curie temperature of 45.59 °C. Such permeability and Curie temperature can be used in the body cavity perfusion hyperthermia and deep thermal therapy.

Photocathodic protection has obtained enormous attention in the field of metal corrosion control as an efficient and eco-friendly technology. Developing the photoelectrode with good photoelectrochemical properties is a prerequisite for achieving satisfactory photocathodic protection performance. Here, the NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr)/TiO 2 heterostructures are prepared. Meanwhile, the organic linkers and metal ions from NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr) are used to synthesize the N- and Cr-doped TiO 2 anodes, respectively. The UV–vis DRS, photoluminescence spectra and photoelectrochemical tests conducted under visible light demonstrate the enhanced light absorption, suppressed photoinduced charge carrier recombination, and accelerated separation and transfer rates of photoinduced electron-hole pairs in the TiO 2 composites. The 304 stainless steel connected with NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr)/TiO 2 heterostructures shows the most negative potential (about −0.72 V vs. SCE) and satisfied stability in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The result can be explained by the significantly enhanced optical and photoelectrochemical properties and the strong electric field intensity in the composite heterojunctions. Besides, it has been observed that the NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr)/TiO 2 heterostructures exhibit the best photocathodic protection performance than Cr and N-doped TiO 2 anodes. This research broadens the application scope of MOFs in corrosion resistance and helps to assess the effect of heterostructure construction and element doping on TiO 2 .

Microplastics (MPs) are novel pollutants that can adsorb heavy metals in water environments and migrate together as carriers and are prone to aging due to the light in water. However, few reports have been published on the synergistic behavior and effects of these different types of aged MPs on the adsorption and desorption of Cr(VI). Here, two MP types─polyamide (PA) and polylactic acid (PLA)─were aged by UV irradiation, and the adsorption and desorption behaviors of MPs on Cr(VI) were studied. The results indicated that UV light can rapidly age MPs. After the MPs were exposed to UV light, their specific surface area, negative charge, and oxygenic groups increased, resulting in enhanced hydrophilicity. The aged MPs depicted a markedly enhanced adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) compared with the results of aged-PA > pristine-PA > aged-PLA > pristine-PLA. The process followed the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models, confirming that chemical and monolayer adsorption are the primary processes involved in the adsorption of Cr(VI) by aged MPs. Cr(VI) was more easily desorbed in the simulated gastric fluid environment. The desorption rate of aged MPs was lower than that of pristine MPs because of their stronger binding forces to Cr(VI). The binding of Cr(VI) to MPs mainly depends on synergistic mechanisms such as electrostatic attraction, reduction reactions, and chelation of oxygenic groups. This study clarifies the reciprocity mechanism between aging MPs and Cr(VI) and provides further insights and guidance for controlling the joint pollution between MPs and heavy metal pollutants in the future.

Microplasma jet (MPJ), serving as excitation sources in miniaturized systems, has been widely used for contaminant detection. However, the employment of the MPJ is conditioned due to the limit generation of the radicals. Here, a novel 4-channel microplasma jet array (MPJA) is designed for 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) rapid oxidation without oxidizing reagents and catalysts. The jet array, generated from a ceramic tube, allows direct contact with the sample. A colorimetric system containing the MPJA has been developed for the detection of hexavalent chromium. Compared to the MPJ, the employment of MPJA significantly makes the detection system effective and sensitive. Under optimal operating condition, the system exhibits a linear response for Cr (VI) detection within the range of 0.3–1.2 μmol L −1 , with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.11 μmol L −1 . The practicality of the system is validated through the analysis of real-world samples. The system can be packed into a case with 40 cm in length, 30 cm in width and 30 cm in height. The power consumption is 0.052 W. The system provides a potential method for samples determination in emergency.

Developing efficient, low-price non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts for overall water splitting in alkaline medium remains a formidable challenge. In our work, Cr-doped CoP/Fe2P (Cr-CoP/Fe2P) flower-like microsphere was synthesized through a simple hydrothermal and phosphating process. The resulting Cr-CoP/Fe2P electrocatalyst shows significantly enhanced oxygen evolution reaction performance (262 mV @ 10 mA cm-2) and has a satisfactory hydrogen evolution reaction performance (114 mV @ 10 mA cm-2), coupled with favorable stability in an alkaline medium. Furthermore, when assembling Cr-CoP/Fe2P into an electrolytic cell, the two-electrode system can provide a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at a voltage of 1.61 V. At high current density, the performance of the electrolytic cell composed of Cr-CoP/Fe2P is superior to that of noble metal catalyst electrode pair. Electronic structure analysis and various characterizations confirm that Cr doping and the formation of CoP/Fe2P heterogeneous interfaces redistribute the electron densities of the active sites, enlarge the specific surface area, and enhance the aerophobicity of the catalysts, thereby improving the electrocatalytic property. This work provides a referable method for engineering highly efficient and stable non-noble polymetallic phosphides, which serve as bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

ABSTRACT The highly desired goal is to employ visible light for the photocatalytic reduction of toxic Cr(VI) to environmentally friendly Cr(III). Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered one of the most promising materials for the photoreduction of Cr(VI). Nevertheless, developing MOFs with high stability and activity is still challenging. Herein, we report a stable Zn-based MOF (named DZU-64 ) with an anthracene functionalized ligand, and its reduction of Cr(VI) under sunlight irradiation was investigated. DZU-64 exhibits excellent chemical stability in pH range of 2−14 aqueous solution, and remarkable thermal stability to 570°C. For the photoreduction of Cr(VI) under visible light irradiation, DZU-64 gives a record rate constant of 0.467 min −1 and a high Cr(VI) reduction rate of 6.68 mg Cr (VI) g −1 cata min −1 at pH 2. Moreover, under real solar light, DZU-64 can also efficiently reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) while retaining its catalytic activity throughout 5 cycles without any notable decline, further demonstrating its great application prospect. By combining the photovoltaic performance tests and electron spin resonance test, the possible photoreduction of Cr(VI) mechanism in DZU-64 was analyzed.

In this work, a novel nanosystem with a sandwich-like structure was synthesized via face-to-face combination of two pieces of waste cotton fabrics (CFs) carrying ferrous sulfide (FeS) and carboxyl-functionalized ferroferric oxide microsphere (CFFM), respectively, and the obtained nanosystem was named as FeS/CFFM/CF. Therein, FeS has high reduction and adsorption capabilities for hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), CFFM possesses a high adsorption ability on cadmium ion (Cd(II)) through electrostatic attraction and chelation, and CF displays high immobilization ability for FeS and CFFM and adsorption performance on Cd(II). FeS/CFFM/CF could simultaneously remove Cr(VI) and Cd(II) from water and inhibit the uptake of Cr and Cd by fish and water spinach, ensuring the food safety. Besides, this technology could efficiently control the migration of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) in the sand–soil mixture, which was favorable to prevent their wide diffusion. Importantly, FeS/CFFM/CF possessed a high flexibility and could be conveniently produced with needed scale and shape and easily separated from water and soil, displaying a promising approach to remediate Cr(VI)-/Cd(II)-contaminated water and soil and a huge application potential.

Here, micron-sized high-entropy alloy (HEA) electrocatalysts (FeCoNiMoCr, Cr-HEA; FeCoNiMoCu, Cu-HEA) with dual-phase heterostructures were fabricated by mechanical alloying and subsequently loaded onto nickel foam (NF) to form the working electrode, exhibiting excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Specifically, the Cr-HEA/NF exhibits an overpotential of 271 mV at current density of 10 mA/cm 2 and a small Tafel slope of 69.1 mV/dec in 1 mol/L KOH solution, outperforming the performance of Cu-HEA/NF, commercial RuO 2 /NF and bare NF. HEA catalysts achieve outstanding long-term stability, as evidenced by chronopotentiometry (1 mol/L KOH for 48 h @10 mA/cm 2 and 6 mol/L KOH at 85 °C for 100 h @500 mA/cm 2 ) and chronoamperometry (1 mol/L KOH for 100 h @100 mA/cm 2 ). The impressive OER activity and stability of Cr-HEA can be attributed to the highly heterogeneous nested interfaces between amorphous and metastable nanocrystals, as well as the in-situ formation of multiphase structures. Notably, both density functional theory calculations and experimental results demonstrate that the synergistic interactions among the metal active sites in HEA collectively regulate the adsorption and desorption of oxygen-containing intermediates, thereby enhancing the OER catalytic activity. Specifically, the Cr-HEA presents a lower Gibbs free energy change during the transformation from O* to OOH*, resulting in a reduced overpotential.

Metal doping for improving the reactivity of zerovalent iron (ZVI) has been well studied, while Mn(II)-modified microscale ZVI (Mn-mZVI) has not yet been explored. Herein, ball-milled Mn-mZVI was fabricated and used for Cr(VI) removal. Characterization analysis showed that the structure, composition, and charge of mZVI changed after the Mn(II) modification. The comparative test showed that Mn-mZVI could remove 100% of Cr(VI) within 10 min, whereas mZVI removed negligible Cr(VI) within 60 min. The zeta-potential and electrochemical evidence verified that the enhanced electrostatic attraction and electron-transfer ability contributed to the superior Cr(VI) removal performance of Mn-mZVI. Moreover, the solution pH increase caused the decline of Cr(VI) removal, and the presence of NO3– inhibited Cr(VI) removal, whereas other coexisting ions showed little influence on the Cr(VI) removal performance of Mn-mZVI. Chemical and material characterization analyses revealed that Cr(VI) reduction by Mn-mZVI was the combined action of Fe(0) and generated Fe(II). In addition, the reusability of Mn-mZVI was not ideal due to the surface passivation and loss of Mn(II), but the reactivity could be reactivated by ball-milling the reacted Mn-mZVI again with Mn(II). Overall, this work provides a new mentality for mZVI modification and is important to develop promising mZVI-based materials for Cr(VI) pollution control.

Smart adsorbents with responsive self-healing ability will be promising, as they can meet the desirable requirements of sustainable and efficient usage in water treatment. Herein, a photo-induced self-healing gel adsorbent is fabricated by the combination of transition metal carbides Ti 3 C 2 T x (MXene), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMAA) for sustainable and efficient removal of specific target Cr(VI) from water. PEI, as a potent adsorptive motif, endows the gel with high maximum adsorption capacity ( q m ) (i.e., ∼300 mg g −1 for Cr(VI)). Crucially, leveraging the photothermal conversion of Ti 3 C 2 T x and the self-healing repair of PDMAA, the gel is imbued with rapid photo-induced self-healing ability, which facilitates its sustainability in adsorption application. The photoinduction applied to the damaged gel adsorbent enables its rapid self-healing repair, as well as maintains its efficient removal efficiency for reapplication, which makes it more suitable for long-time usage in environments. This work provides a new insight into the application of smart adsorbents for sustainable and efficient adsorption in the field of wastewater treatment.
