The use of antibiotics has become an indispensable part of the production and life of human society. Among them, sulfonamide antibiotics widely used in humans and animals are considered to be one of the most crucial antibiotics. However, antibiotics are difficult to degrade naturally, leading to an accumulation in the environment and a potential hazard to human health. In this paper, WS 2 as a co-catalyst could reduce trace Fe(III) to Fe(II) which exhibited a great activating ability to PS through the exposed W(IV) active sites, and formed the Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle to degrade sulfachloropyridazine (SCP) continuously. This paper systematically discussed the degradation of SCP under different conditions in the PS/WS 2 /Fe(III) system, including the amount of WS 2 , Fe(III) concentration, PS concentration, initial pH, natural organic matter (NOM) and common anions ( NO 3 − , Cl − , HCO 3 − , HPO 4 2− and H 2 PO 4 − ). The experimental results showed that PS/WS 2 /Fe(III) system possessed a strong degradation ability for SCP in a wide pH range. NO 3 − and Cl − could promote the degradation of SCP a little. HCO 3 − , HPO 4 2− and H 2 PO 4 − could significantly inhibit the degradation of SCP. The main types of free radicals that degraded SCP were explored. In addition, the stability and reusability of WS 2 were examined, and two possible degradation pathways of SCP were proposed.

Polyurethane (PU) is widely used in biomedical applications owing to its excellent physical and chemical properties. As an isocyanate-free PU material, fluorescent poly(hydroxyurethane) (FPHU) is synthesized from the addition of the cyclic carbonates with amines rather than the toxic isocyanate with diols, which reduces the possible injury to the human due to trace amounts of the isocyanate residues. Herein, we report the biocompatibility of a FPHU that can be synthesized from carbon dioxide, bisepoxides, and diamine in tandem. Of unique, FPHU exhibits a strong blue fluorescence and is selectively sensitive to Fe 3+ with a detection limit of 4.56 μ M . The overall results of the methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium, cytokine release, and hemolysis assays for FPHU indicates that FPHU has much lower cytotoxicity and immunotoxicity compared with the traditional isocyanate PU, as well as a good blood compatibility with less than 5% hemolysis rate. Therefore, FPHU presents as a kind of safer PU and can be prospectively applied in medical materials.

Iron-based carbon nanofibers (Fe-CNFs) have garnered significant attention due to their promising applications as functional materials or precursors in the field of catalysis, energy storage, and electromagnetic interference shielding. In this work, electrospun Fe3O4-CNFs were reduced under a H2/Ar atmosphere to obtain Fe-CNFs, and the reduction temperature and holding time were systematically optimized. Notably, a pronounced carbon gasification phenomenon was observed at elevated temperatures (>550 °C), leading to a complete consumption of the carbon matrix. The underlying mechanism was explored using temperature-programmed reduction with mass spectrometry (TPR-MS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results suggest that the carbon gasification during the H2reduction process is primarily driven by the carbon-water reaction, which can be catalyzed by the in situ-formed Fe nanoparticles. As the temperature increases, various reactions—including hydrogen dissociation, H2spillover, carbon-water reaction, and Boudouard reaction—may progressively consume the carbon framework, ultimately leading to structural collapse and complete material loss. This study elucidates the underlying mechanism of carbon-water reaction and provides practical guidance for the optimization of synthesis parameters, thereby enhancing the yield and structural integrity of free-standing Fe-CNFs for their application in catalysis and energy storage-related fields.

Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been proven to be more effective for the treatment of hexavalent chromium(Cr(VI)) when modified with the transition metal Cu. In this study, biochar-supported Cu/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles (Cu-nZVI/BC) were prepared and used for Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solution. The effects of the pH value, the initial concentration of Cr(VI), coexisting ions and humic acids (HA) were investigated. The compositional structures of Cu-nZVI/BC were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The maximum removal efficiency of Cr(VI) was 50.57% (126.41 ± 3.75 mg g –1 ) for Cu-nZVI/BC at pH 2. The adsorption kinetic data were in agreement with the pseudo-second- order model, which confirmed that the adsorption step was a chemical adsorption and reduction process. The presence of Ca 2+ and NO 3 – had an inhibitory effect on Cr(VI) removal, while dHA increased the removal efficiency at high concentrations. This study proves that Cu-nZVI/BC removal of solution Cr(VI) is feasible and shows significant potential in practical applications.

Transition metal phosphides with excellent performance are one of the effective alternatives to noble metal catalysts in overall water splitting. In this paper, the Fe–NiCoP–MoO3 composite was prepared by a facile synthesis as the bifunctional electrocatalyst. Fe–NiCoP–MoO3 achieves an operating current density of 10 mA/cm2 at a low overpotential of 65 mV for hydrogen evolution reaction and drives an operating current density of 50 mA/cm2 at only 293 mV for oxygen evolution reaction. Significantly, Fe–NiCoP–MoO3 was employed as the anode and cathode for overall water splitting, which only requires a cell voltage of 1.586 V to reach 10 mA/cm2 as well as shows excellent stability. The electrocatalytic activity of Fe–NiCoP–MoO3 exceeds most of the recently reported typical bifunctional electrocatalysts. This may be due to the coupling effect between the polymetallic phosphides. In addition, heterogeneous catalysts generally expose more active sites than homogeneous catalysts. In addition, replacing MoO3 with WO3 and VO3 can also improve the performance of Fe–NiCoP. This work provides an idea for the modification of phosphides.

The nanomaterials with multiple components and various heterogeneous interfaces have been considered as preferred efficient electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers. In this paper, Fe atoms were bonded to a zeolitic imidazole framework (Fe-ZIF) and Fe-ZIF-derived hollow porous carbon nanofibers (Fe-HPCNFs) were prepared by the microfluid electrospinning method. The EMW absorption properties of carbon nanofibers (CNFs), Fe-ZIF-derived carbon nanofibers (Fe-CNFs), and Fe-ZIF-derived hollow porous carbon nanofibers (Fe-HPCNFs) were systematically studied. The results showed that Fe-HPCNFs has the best performance, when the thickness was only 2.0 mm, the Fe-HPCNFs achieved a minimum RL loss of −46.9 dB at 17.38 GHz, with an effective absorption bandwidth of 3 GHz. The Fe-HPCNF is a flexible, ultralightweight, self-supported material as a potential high-efficiency EMW absorber.

The dominant Haber–Bosch process to produce ammonia, arguably the most important chemical in support of global food supply, is both energy and carbon intensive, resulting in substantial environmental impacts. Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) powered by renewable electricity provides a green synthetic route for ammonia, but still suffers from insufficient yield rate and Faradaic efficiency. Single-atom electrocatalysts (SACs) have the potential to transform this catalytic process; however, controllable synthesis of SACs with high loading of active sites remains a big challenge. Here we utilize bacterial cellulose with rich oxygen functional groups to anchor iron (Fe) and cobalt (Co), realizing high density, atomically dispersed, bimetallic Fe–Co active sites. For electrocatalytic NRR, our catalyst design delivers a remarkable ammonia yield rate of 579.2 ± 27.8 μg h −1 mg cat. −1 and an exceptional Faradaic efficiency of 79.0 ± 3.8%. The combined theoretical and experimental investigations reveal that the operando change in coordination configuration from [(O-C 2 ) 3 Fe–Co(O-C 2 ) 3 ] to [(O-C 2 ) 3 Fe–Co(O-C)C 2 ] is the enabling chemistry. Our findings suggest a general approach to engineer SACs that can drive critical reactions of relevance for sustainability.

A new simple strategy to prepare Mn–Fe Prussian blue analogue (PBA) derived oxide micromotors through co-precipitation and heat treatment is demonstrated. The morphology of the precursors could be precisely controlled from cubic-like to spherical-like by introducing citrate. Because of the synergistic catalytic reaction of bimetallic Mn–Fe oxides, micromotors with different shapes could be powered efficiently in H2O2 solution. In particular, the obtained cubic Mn–Fe oxide micromotors showed strong propulsion at a speed of 71.21 μm s−1 in 1% H2O2 solution. With dual mechanisms of adsorption bubble separation (ABS) and Fenton oxidation, the cubic Mn–Fe oxide micromotors showed extraordinary removal ability for Rhodamine B (RhB) as a simulated pollutant and could remove up to 95.2% of RhB within 30 minutes. Magnetic Fe3O4 contained in the component not only could degrade organic pollutants, but also could be recycled by magnetic field and reused with high degradation efficiency. These dual-functional metal oxide catalytic micromotors provide a practical and environmentally friendly strategy for environmental restoration.

The hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties of catalysts greatly influence product distribution by tuning the secondary reactions during Fischer–Tropsch synthesis. Studies have confirmed that hydrophilic modification can inhibit secondary reactions. Herein, hydroxyapatite (HAP)-supported Fe catalysts (Fe/HAP) were prepared using an impregnation method. The effect of the catalyst surface properties on the product distribution in CO hydrogenation was studied. The surface hydroxyl groups on Fe/HAP promoted the growth of carbon chains and improved olefin selectivity. The addition of Na as a promoter to Fe/HAP suppressed the formation of undesirable CH 4 , further improving the selectivity for light olefins and C 5 + hydrocarbons. Compared with Fe 2 O 3 , Fe/HAP showed lower CH 4 selectivity (15%) and higher C 5 + selectivity (45%). Meanwhile, the Fe/HAP -Na catalysts with a higher selectivity of light olefins (with an O/P ratio reaching 4.51).

Three-dimensional macroporous heterostructural Ni-Fe hydroxides with different mole ratio (Ni x Fe (1−x) -PH) were prepared via a sol-gel process combined with phase separation, and the overall water splitting electrocatalytic activity of the resultant macroporous Ni-Fe hydroxides were investigated in detail. The as-prepared Ni-Fe hydroxide has cocontinuous skeletons and interconnected macropores with a narrow pore size distribution (~150 nm), and possesses outstanding electrocatalytic activity with an overpotential of 263 mV for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and 175 mV for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at 10 mA·cm −2 in 1 M KOH, respectively. The Ni 0.6 Fe 0.4 -PH | | Ni 0.6 Fe 0.4 -PH has efficient overall water splitting performance with a cell voltage of 1.61 V at 10 mA·cm −2 and great stability. The fantastic macropore structure and strong synergistic effect between Ni-Fe hydroxides significantly reinforce the contact area between the electrocatalyst and electrolyte, and endow high electrocatalytic performance of bifunctional electrocatalysts.
The epoxide-induced sol-gel process accompanied by phase separation allows the synthesis of macroporous heterostructural Ni-Fe hydroxide bifunctional catalyst with a mass of active sites, displaying excellent electrocatalytic activity and low overpotential at several current densities for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

The bottlenecks of photocatalytic nitrogen fixation are adsorption and activation of nitrogen, because N–N bond in dinitrogen is one of the strongest bonds in chemistry . Herein, for the first time, Cu-doped MIL-101(Fe) was applications in photocatalytic nitrogen fixation. The photocatalytic nitrogen fixation activity of Cu-MIL-101(Fe) is three times that of MIL-101(Fe). Characteristic of MIL-101(Fe) and Cu-MIL-101(Fe) are systematically compared by XRD , SEM, TEM, BET, PL and energy band structure . These results indicated that the Cu doping not only enlarge the specific surface area from 1413 m 2 /g to 2097 m 2 /g, but also increase the photoreduction capability from −0.13 V to −0.7 V. These results indicated that nitrogen adsorption and activation capacity can be improved by Cu doping. By combining metal ions doping and components regulation of MOFs , this work provides many future opportunities for enhance photocatalytic nitrogen fixation activity.

Sewage containing antibiotics is harmful to the water environment. Here, a newly prepared iron manganese binary oxide (FMBO) activated persulfate (PDS) has excellent performance for the degradation of sulfapyridine (SPY) in an aqueous environment. The effects of initial pH, SPY, PDS concentration and FMBO dosage on the degradation ability of SPY were investigated. When the pH of FMBO/PDS was 4.0 and the initial concentration of PDS was 2.0 mmol/L, the degradation ratio of SPY could reach 94.4%. In the system of removing organic pollutants by transition metal activated PDS, SO

and •OH radicals are generally generated, and •OH radical plays a major role. Through the identification of SPY intermediate products by LC/MS, the degradation mechanism was explored. The degradation pathway showed that the strong oxidation of FMBO and the activity of PDS promoted the production of hydroxyl radical and contributed to the degradation and transformation of antibiotics. This study shows that FMBO/PDS has high degradation efficiency in the degradation of SPY.
