The high reactivity of Fe(0) with Cr(VI) makes it the best choice for Cr(VI) removal. Interstitial compound Fe3C was produced during the carbothermic reduction of mesoporous phenolic resin/ferric ions to form Fe(0)/Fe3C nanoparticles embedded in mesoporous carbon (Fe(0)/Fe3C@MesoC). Fe3C accelerates the electrochemical corrosion process of α-Fe(0) in solution, and the positive/negative equipotential interface that is formed by iron–carbon (Fe–C) microelectrolysis of Fe(0)/Fe3C@MesoC induces the capture of Cr(VI) anions and Cr(III) cations as a result of this process. Cr(VI) was completely reduced to Cr(III) by the Fe(0)/Fe3C@MesoC catalyst with a high electron efficiency (40.5%) relative to nanosized zero-valent iron (1.9%) and Fe@MesoC (32.7%). Surface ferrous ions are the principal reactive species responsible for Cr(VI) reduction (at least 64%); Fe(0)/Fe3C and undetectable surface ferrous ions account for a small part of Cr(VI) reduction (around 28%), and only 8% of Cr(VI) ions are reduced by active hydrogen (H*). The proposed structure of Fe(0)/Fe3C@MesoC provides new insight into iron–carbon material preparation and application in in situ chemical reduction.

A series of NCDs-decorated hematite@MIL-101(Cr) (marked as HMC) hybrids were innovatively and successfully developed for the highly efficient removal of carbamazepine in this study, which were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, N 2 adsorption–desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, etc. And, the successful preparation of the hybrid was directly proved by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM and XPS. N 2 adsorption–desorption result revealed good textural properties of the hybrid. The evaluation results indicated that the as-prepared hybrids possessed markedly promoted removal performances for CBZ. Compared with other hybrids, 0.3HMC2 with introducing FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O (0.3 g) and NCDs (2 mL) presented an optimum adsorption–photocatalysis coupling effects. The photodegradation efficiency over the hybrid was able to reach 100% within 60 min under visible-light irradiation. The excellent performances should be ascribed to good textural properties, π – π interaction formation, fast electron separation nature of NCDs and internal Z-scheme construction between hematite and MIL-101(Cr) phases. Meanwhile, the hybrid 0.3HMC2 showed good stability and reusability for photocatalytic degradation of CBZ. Furthermore, a possible mechanism for the removal of CBZ was also proposed to illustrate the photodegradation process. It is thus clear that the hybrid HMC is a promising catalyst for the removal of CBZ in wastewater.

One-step electrochemical approach for synthesis of AuPdNPs/ERGO nanocomposite has been developed for Cr(VI) sensing in water. The bimetallic AuPd nanoparticles and electrochemical reduced graphene oxide (ERGO) composite (AuPdNPs/ERGO) were reduced from H2PdCl4, HAuCl4 and GO mixed solution and deposited onto glass carbon electrode (GCE) through cyclic voltammetry, simultaneously. The bimetallic AuPdNPs were homogeneously modified on graphene nanosheets and characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) technique. Based on the voltammetric results, the bimetallic AuPdNPs/ERGO/GCE had higher catalytic activity for Cr(VI) determination, compared with AuNPs/GCE, PdNPs/GCE and ERGO/GCE obtained by the same method. The fabricated AuPdNPs/ERGO/GCE shows good relationship in two concentration ranges from 0.05 μM to 5 μM and 5 μM to 1000 μM, with a detection of 0.013 μM (at S/N = 3). In addition, the proposed modified electrode presents high selectivity, sensitivity and stability for Cr(VI) detection and a high recovery of more than 95% was obtained towards real water application, which makes it favorable for the further practical field monitoring.

Hybrid membranes were fabricated with active layers composed of polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) and metal organic framework MIL-101 (Cr), together with support layers composed of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen adsorption were used to study the structure of MIL-101 (Cr) particles; scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectrum (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermomechanical analysis and positron anihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) were employed to characterize the structural morphology, free volume property, thermal and mechanical features of the membranes. The effect of MIL-101 (Cr) incorporation on swelling and pervaporation performance of the hybrid membranes were evaluated with thiophene and n -octane mixture as model gasoline. The packing of PDMS chains was interrupted by MIL-101 (Cr), thus the fractional free volume was increased. Accordingly, the separation performance including permeation flux and selectivity was increased remarkably. The optimal performance was achieved when the weight fraction of MIL-101 to PDMS was 6% with a flux of 5.2 kg·m −2 h −1 (increased by 136% compared with the PDMS control membrane) and an enrichment factor of 5.6 (increased by 38% compared with the PDMS control membrane).

ABSTRACT The recovery of Cr(VI) from the solution and the utilization of by-products are significant for waste-water treatment and environmental protection. In this study, the amorphous ZrO 2 was prepared using a solvothermal method and used to treat the wastewater containing Cr(VI). Amorphous ZrO 2 is effective for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI). Without a sacrificial agent, 20 mL potassium dichromate solution (20 mg/L) is reduced to almost 0 mg/L within 10 min. Moreover, the by-products obtained from this process exhibit good performance in the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethane coupled with the reverse water–gas reaction. The maximum yield of ethylene is 12.9%, and the service life of the catalyst reached 160 min. Catalyst deactivation is caused by carbon deposition, and the deactivated catalyst is regenerated by roasting in the air. The feasibility of this green process is demonstrated, including the one-step photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) and utilization of the by-product as an ethane dehydrogenation catalyst.

The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets has provided a broad platform for the study of spintronics and many novel physical phenomena. However, vdW ferromagnetic crystals generally have a low Curie temperature and poor air stability and their magnetic properties are difficult to modulate. As a layered Dirac semimetal, NiTe2 has excellent properties such as high electrical conductivity and high air stability. In this work, we report for the first time the introduction of ferromagnetism into NiTe2 single crystals by doping Cr atoms with the Te-flux method. By controlling the Cr content, the Curie temperature can be tuned from 210 K to 248 K and the saturation magnetic moment from 1.54 emu g−1 to 2.27 emu g−1 which is much higher than the defective magnetism caused by doping. The doped nanosheets still have extremely high air stability, in contrast with most vdW 2D ferromagnet crystals. The results provide opportunities for the study of new highly-tunable, air-stable vdW ferromagnets and their potential applications.

Background Glutathione (GSH) serves as a pivotal antioxidant within biological systems. Dysregulated GSH levels are associated with a spectrum of pathologies, including carcinogenesis, hepatic dysfunction, and neurodegenerative disorders. Developing robust GSH detection methodologies is essential for assessing cellular health, facilitating early diagnosis of disease states, and tracking therapeutic efficacy. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL), which integrates electrochemical reactions with luminescent output, offers low background noise, making it highly suitable for biomolecule analysis. ECL-based GSH assays employing advanced nanomaterials are anticipated to amplify signals at low GSH concentrations, thereby playing a critical role in clinical diagnostics and biochemical research. Results This study presents a novel ECL sensor for the ultrasensitive detection of GSH, utilizing chromium/g–C 3 N 4 –loaded carbon nanospheres (CNs@Cr/g-C 3 N 4 ) composites. Carbon spheres (CNs) and chromium (Cr) can improve the ECL properties of g-C 3 N 4 . However, the ECL signal of CNs@Cr/g-C 3 N 4 is quenched (off-state) due to complex formation with Cu 2+ . Upon GSH addition, the higher coordination affinity between GSH and Cu 2+ partially restores the ECL signal of g-C 3 N 4 (on-state), allowing for quantitative GSH detection. Under optimized conditions, the linear detection range for GSH extends from 5.0 × 10 −9 to 1.0 × 10 −4 M with a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.3 × 10 −10 M (S/N = 3), alongside high selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. More notably, the as-proposed ECL sensor was successfully applied to the quantification of GSH in real drug samples with excellent recovery rates. Signifiance In contrast to traditional techniques for GSH detection, our approach involves a one-time chemical modification of the electrode, eliminating the need for complex probe immobilization steps and streamlining the detection process. Besides, this “off-on” ECL sensing strategy, leveraging Cu 2+ and CNs@Cr/g-C 3 N 4 , offers an innovative approach for developing advanced sensing systems. And this method is user-friendly, cost-effective, holding significant potential for applications in clinical diagnostics and pharmaceutical analysis.

Solar-driven photocatalysis is a promising green technology for wastewater treatment. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) is a highly efficient visible-light photocatalyst. However, due to the rapid recombination of photoinduced electron-hole (e - -h + ) pairs, its photocatalytic activity is severely limited, thereby hindering its practical application. To solve this problem, a novel MoS 2 -3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic acid (MoS 2 -PTCDG) heterojunction was synthesized via a hydrothermal method. In this composite, PTCDG nanosheets are embedded in the interlayer spaces of three-dimensional flower-like MoS 2 nanospheres, forming an organic–inorganic heterostructure. This design not only improves the separation efficiency of photogenerated e - -h + pairs, but also the hydrophilic terminal carboxyl groups on PTCDG can serve as adsorption sites for Cr(VI) pollutants. The MoS 2 -PTCDG composite demonstrates exceptional photocatalytic activity and stability in degrading Cr(VI) under simulated sunlight, achieving a reaction rate constant 2.5 times higher than that of pure MoS 2 . This study highlights the potential of rationally designed organic–inorganic heterostructures to overcome the limitations of traditional MoS 2 -based photocatalysts, thus offering new insights into the development of high-performance photocatalytic materials for environmental remediation.

Polymetallic nanomaterials have important development potential by integrating the properties and advantages of their components. However, their preparation paradigm urgently needs to be updated to make full use of their characteristics to realize their multifaceted applications. In this study, multifunctional trimetallic gold–silver–chromium nanocomposites (Au–Ag–Cr NCs) were successfully synthesized, and their polymetallic plasmonic absorption properties were used in a variety of applications, from multimode and multianalyte sensing, advanced arithmetic, and reversible logic to long-text information protection. Au–Ag–Cr NCs with Au or Ag nanoparticles anchored on Cr nanobelts were synthesized using Au–Cr nanoseeds, Ag + , ascorbic acid as the reductant, and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate as the stabilizer. The resulting Au–Ag–Cr NCs exhibited multichannel sensing ability for 2 analytes (Hg 2+ and hypochlorite), with remarkably improved selectivity and sensitivity when analyzing combined channels. Multiresponsiveness of Au–Ag–Cr NCs to diverse substance combinations underpins input–output mapping relationships, enabling advanced molecular logic computations (such as arithmetic and reversible logic). By digitizing its intrinsic sensing and response mechanisms, advanced molecular information protection (including encoding, encryption, and information concealment) for extended text were successfully implemented. This work not only offers novel insights into the design and multifunctionality of multicomponent nanocomposites but also paves the way for a new paradigm in molecular information technology that integrates sensing, logic processing, and information security.

Persistent environmental pollution by heavy metals, particularly Cr (VI), poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health due to its high toxicity and bioaccumulation potential. The development of high-performance, cost-effective adsorbents from sustainable materials remains a critical challenge in the field of Cr (VI) remediation. This study investigates the influence of pyrrolic-N (N-5) within nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbon (N-HPC) on its adsorption capacity. Results indicate that N-HPC variants with a higher N-5 content exhibit superior adsorption abilities. The optimal sample demonstrated an exceptional adsorption capacity of 386.2 mg/g for Cr (VI). Even after seven regeneration cycles, this N-HPC variant maintained a remarkable 77.8 % removal efficiency for Cr (VI), highlighting its robust stability and selectivity. The relationship between the physicochemical properties of N-5 and N-HPC was thoroughly examined, revealing that N-5 plays a crucial role in the adsorption process. Due to its high electronegativity, nitrogen-doping into the carbon framework generates a dipole moment, enhancing the electronegativity of N-HPC, altering its local electron density and polarity, increasing specific surface area, carbon defect density, and ion exchange capacity. These factors collectively contribute to significant improvements in pore filling, ion exchange efficiency, and electrostatic adsorption by N-HPC. The reduction complexation mechanism emerges as the dominant factor in the adsorption process. N-5 not only provides reducing electrons as an electron donor, facilitating the continuous conversion of Cr (VI) to Cr (III), but also acts as an adsorption active site, complexing Cr to the surface of N-HPC. This synergistic effect strengthens the reduction complexation, enhances adsorption performance, and improves the regeneration cycle and adsorption selectivity for Cr.

The selective catalytic reduction of NOxwith CH4(CH4-SCR) holds the potential to simultaneously abate harmful NOxand CH4greenhouse gases. In this study, a series of bimetallic M-In/H-SSZ-39 catalysts (where M represents Cr, Co, Ce, and Fe) were prepared via an ion exchange method and subsequently evaluated for their CH4-SCR activity. The influences of the preparation parameters, including the metal ion concentration and calcination temperature, as well as the operating conditions, such as the CH4/NO ratio, O2concentration, water vapor content, and gas hourly space velocity (GHSV), on the catalytic activity of the optimal Cr-In/H-SSZ-39 catalyst were meticulously examined. The results revealed that the Cr-In/H-SSZ-39 catalyst exhibited peak CH4-SCR catalytic performance when the Cr(NO3)3concentration was 0.0075 M, the In(NO3)3concentration was 0.066 M, and the calcination temperature was 500 °C. Under optimal operating conditions, namely GHSV of 10,000 h−1, 400 ppm NO, 800 ppm CH4, 15 vol% O2, and 6 vol% H2O, the NOxconversion rate reached 93.4%. To shed light on the excellent performance of Cr-In/H-SSZ-39 under humid conditions, a comparative analysis of the crystalline phase, chemical composition, pore structure, surface chemical state, surface acidity, and redox properties of Cr-In/H-SSZ-39 and In/H-SSZ-39 was conducted. The characterization results indicated that the incorporation of Cr into In/H-SSZ-39 enhanced its acidity and also facilitated the generation of InO+active species, which promoted the oxidation of NO and the activation of CH4, respectively. A synergistic effect was observed between Cr and In species, which significantly improved the redox properties of the catalyst. Consequently, the activated CH4could further interact with InO+to produce carbon-containing intermediates such as HCOO−, which ultimately reacted with nitrate-based intermediates to yield N2, CO2, and H2O.

A weak electric field (WEF, 2 mA cm −2 ) was employed to promote Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle on goethite-impregnated activated carbon (FeOOH@AC) filled in a continuous-flow column for enhanced Cr(VI) elimination from water. Surficial analysis and Cr species distribution showed that α-FeOOH of 0.2–1 μm was successfully synthesized and evenly loaded onto AC. Electron transfer from WEF to α-FeOOH was facilitated with AC as electron shuttles, thereby boosting Fe(III) reduction in the α-FeOOH. The generated Fe(II) reduced Cr(VI) and the resultant Cr(III) subsequently precipitated with OH − and Fe(III) to form Cr(OH) 3 and (Cr χ Fe 1-χ )(OH) 3 . Therefore, the WEF-FeOOH@AC column exhibited a much lower Cr(VI) migration rate of 0.0018 cm PV −1 in comparison with 0.0037 cm PV −1 of the FeOOH@AC column, equal to 104 % higher Cr(VI) elimination capacity and 90 % longer column service life-span. Additionally, under different Cr(VI) loadings by varying either seepage velocities or influent Cr(VI) concentrations, the WEF-FeOOH@AC column maintained 1.0–1.5 folds higher Cr(VI) elimination and 0.9–1.4 folds longer longevity than those of the FeOOH@AC column owing to the interaction between FeOOH@AC and WEF. Our research demonstrated that WEF-FeOOH@AC was a potential method to promote Cr(VI) elimination from water and offer an effective strategy to facilitate Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle in iron oxides .
