Fenton reaction-based reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation provides a new idea for the design of ROS-mediated anticancer agents. Finding ways to increase iron uptake and to elevate the level of H2O2 in cells simultaneously is thus crucial to this strategy. Meanwhile, salicylic acid (SA) or its analogue, as the major metabolite of aspirin, has been reported to be closely associated with an intracellular redox-active product. In this work, a PEG-modified nanoscale coordination polymer (PFNC) via the self-assembly of 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) with Fe3+ ions has been designed for the first time. The results show that the SSA dissociated from the PFNC can lead to the decrease of GSH and the accumulation of H2O2 in cancer cells, and thus elevate cellular ROS via the Fenton reaction. Owing to such intracellular oxidative stress, PFNC-induced ferroptotic cell death was further confirmed. In vitro cytotoxicity studies show that PFNCs display higher cytotoxicity on cancer cells than on normal cells. In vivo experiments further demonstrate that PFNCs not only possess high tumor accumulation, but also significantly inhibit the tumor growth without obvious damage toward the major organs. Based on the results, we expect that this work will provide an inspiration for understanding the role of SA, even aspirin, in the prevention of cancer.

In this study, nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) are synthesized from citric acid and tetraethylenepentamine via a one-step melting method. Leveraging the fluorescence quenching of N-CQDs by Fe 3+ through a combined static quenching and inner filter effect mechanism, an “on–off–on” fluorescent sensing platform was constructed for the detection of captopril (CAP). The method relies on the competitive chelation of Fe 3+ by the thiol and carboxyl groups of CAP, which displaces the metal ions from the N-CQD surface and restores the quenched fluorescence. Under optimized conditions, the sensor exhibited a detection limit of 0.0620 mmol/L and a linear response spanning 0.1–1 mmol/L. The method was successfully applied to the determination of CAP in commercial tablet formulations, with recoveries meeting the acceptance criteria of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 Edition). The proposed approach offers a simple, rapid, and sensitive strategy for the quantitative analysis of CAP in pharmaceutical products.

Food safety is a key public concern, making the detection of harmful substances in food increasingly urgent. Herein, a multifunctional fluorescence sensing platform was designed utilizing glutathione-derived N, S-co-doped carbon quantum dots (N, S-CDs), capable of sensitively monitoring nitrite (NO 2 - ) and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) in both food and living biological cells. The detection relies on Fe 3+ -induced fluorescence quenching of N, S-CDs through inner filter effect and static quenching, combined with the redox reactions of NO 2 - with Fe 2+ and H 2 S with Fe 3+ . The linear ranges and limits of detection (LOD) were as follows: NO 2 - , 1-1000 μM and 0.164 μM; H 2 S, 25-425 μM and 0.114 μM. Thanks to its ideal biocompatibility, N, S-CDs enabled visualization of NO 2 - and H 2 S in living cells. Meanwhile, N, S-CDs paper-based fluorescent sensor was constructed to detect NO 2 - in pickled meat and H 2 S in spoiled meat, demonstrating great potential for biological tracking and portable sensor development.

Herein, a novel magnetic relaxation sensing strategy based on the change in Fe 3+ content has been proposed by utilizing the conversion of Fe 3+ ions to Prussian blue (PB) precipitates. Compared with the common detection approach based on the valence state change of Fe 3+ ions, our strategy can cause a larger change in the relaxation time of water protons and higher detection sensitivity since PB precipitate can induce a larger change in the Fe 3+ ion concentration and has a weaker effect on the relaxation process of water protons relative to Fe 2+ ions. Then, we employ alkaline phosphatase (ALP) as a model target to verify the feasibility and detection performance of the as-proposed strategy. Actually, ascorbic acid (AA) generated from the ALP-catalyzed L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate hydrolysis reaction can reduce potassium ferricyanide into potassium ferrocyanide , and potassium ferrocyanide reacts with Fe 3+ to form PB precipitates, leading to a higher relaxation time. Under optimum conditions, the method for ALP detection has a wide linear range from 5 to 230 mU/mL, and the detection limit is 0.28 mU/mL, sufficiently demonstrating the feasibility and satisfactory analysis performance of this strategy, which opens up a new path for the construction of magnetic relaxation sensors. Furthermore, this strategy has also been successfully applied to ascorbic acid oxidase detection, suggesting its expansibility in magnetic relaxation detection.

The high efficiency and adaptability of reverse osmosis (RO) are two main reasons this separation technology is accepted worldwide, depending on its various uses, such as water purification, desalination, and concentration. The potential of RO can be enhanced by utilizing the hollow fiber (HF) mode, benefiting from higher packing density, ease of cleaning, and cost competitiveness. However, its suitability for RO applications becomes questionable due to its weaker and fragile mechanical resilience. To solve the abovementioned issue and improve the mechanical strength and burst/crush pressure, we propose optimizing the selective layer of the TFC-RO membrane using tannic acid complexation with FeCl 3 . The polyethersulfone (PES) support layer was initially fabricated to host the polyamide (PA) layer. Subsequently, the introduction of tannic acid-ferric chloride complexation was implemented as a sandwich layer between the aqueous and organic phase reactions to host a coherent and selective PA layer to further enhance its performance by controlling the kinetics of interfacial polymerization (IP). The surface morphology, physicochemical properties, and underlying reactions were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and water contact angle measurements. The TFC-RO membrane M_TA0.2/Fe7.5 (7.5 mM FeCl 3 & 0.2 wt% tannic acid) showed significant improvement in pure water permeance and salt rejection along with 7.23 MPa of burst pressure and 68.41 % strain, which proves superior elasticity and mechanical robustness because of PA TA/Fe 3+ complexes formed during the IP. Moreover, the proposed facile tannic acid modification is effective and scalable. It significantly improves the mechanical efficacy of the HF TFC-RO membrane, solving a great problem for its commercial adaptability for RO applications and paving the way for smoother industrial translation for direct human factor applications.

Self-reporting corrosion protection coatings offer effective means to detect potential failures in advance, allowing for timely maintenance and extending the lifespan of metal materials. However, there currently remains a challenge in developing techniques capable of concurrently monitoring coating damage and metal corrosion throughout a procedure. Herein, N-CDs/Fe 3 O 4 hybrid nanoparticles with high peroxidase-like activity were fabricated through a two-step hydrothermal process which exhibit superior affinity (K m =1.2 mM) towards H 2 O 2 than HRP and effectively turn-on the color of TMB . Combined with the excellent responsiveness towards 8-HQ and the strict linear dependent relationships towards Fe 3+ (ranging from 0.75 to 15.15 μM), a novel colorimetric assay is established to not only turn on the signals to report the appearance of damage, but additionally switch the colors of TMB system to reveal the possible crack propagation and metal corrosion underneath. Moreover, the pre-existing corrosion, characterized by higher Fe 3+ concentration, is successfully indicated according to the color intensity enhancement compared with pristine metal sheet. Notably, such a multifunctional colorimetric assay enables the real-time and visual monitoring coating damage and metal corrosion simply through a Python program integrated into smartphones, serving as a promising strategy for promptly alerting of potential structural failures.

A novel core-shell heterojunction photocatalyst Ta 3 N 5 @FeTaO 4 /Mn x O y was designed for efficient persulfate activation to enhance the photocatalytic performance. Ta 3 N 5 @FeTaO 4 /Mn x O y was synthesized using a two-step impregnation-calcination method, and tetracycline was selected as the model pollutant. The results indicated that the tetracycline degradation by Ta 3 N 5 @FeTaO 4 /Mn x O y was 3.79 and 13.42 times faster than those by Ta 3 N 5 @FeTaO 4 and Ta 3 N 5 , respectively. Pollutant degradation via radicals (·OH, SO 4 · − and O 2 · − ) and non-radicals (Fe(IV) and 1 O 2 ) was verified by probe tests, quenching experiments, and EPR analysis. The homologous growth heterojunction promoted the separation of charge carriers owing to the matched structure and seamless interface between Ta 3 N 5 and FeTaO 4 . The loaded Mn x O y enhanced persulfate adsorption and facilitated Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ cycling, consequently improving persulfate activation and the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. This study reveals the often-overlooked role of iron-based catalysts to generate a wider range of reactive species, offering a new perspective to design Fenton-like photocatalytic materials.

Hepatic cancer is a serious disease with high morbidity and mortality. Theranostic agents with effective diagnostic and therapeutic capability are highly needed for the treatment of hepatic cancer. Herein, we aimed to develop a novel mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA)-based theranostic agent for T1/T2 dual magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided cancer chemo-photothermal therapy. Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-loaded MPDA NPs ( [email protected] ) was firstly prepared, followed by modifying with a targeted molecule of sialic acid (SA) and chelating with Fe 3+ ( [email protected] /Fe 3+ NPs). After that, doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded [email protected] /Fe 3+ NPs ( [email protected] /DOX/Fe 3+ ) was prepared for tumor theranostics. The prepared [email protected] /Fe 3+ NPs were water-dispersible and biocompatible as evidenced by MTT assay. In vitro photothermal and relaxivity property suggested that the novel theranostic agent possessed excellent photothermal conversion capability and photostability, with relaxivity of being r 1 = 4.29 mM −1 s −1 and r 2 = 105.53 mM −1 s −1 , respectively. [email protected] /Fe 3+ NPs could effectively encapsulate the DOX, showing dual pH- and thermal-triggered drug release behavior. In vitro and in vivo studies revealed that [email protected] /DOX/Fe 3+ NPs could effectively target to the hepatic tumor tissue, which was possibly due to the specific interaction between SA and the overexpressed E-selectin. This behavior also endowed [email protected] /DOX/Fe 3+ NPs with a more precise T1-T2 dual mode contrast imaging effect than the one without SA modification. In addition, [email protected] /DOX/Fe 3+ NPs displayed a superior therapeutic effect, which was due to its active targeting ability and combined effects of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. These results demonstrated that [email protected] /DOX/Fe 3+ NPs is an effective targeted nanoplatform for tumor theranostics, having potential value in the effective treatment of hepatic cancer.

By means of post-synthetic treatment on the UiO-66 derivative with –SO3H, a novel luminescent hybrid material named Tb3+@UiO-66–SO3H has been prepared simply and efficiently. Given its wonderful luminescence properties like intense green emission, a long lifetime, a robust structure and photostability, it is further developed as a fluorescent probe for the sensing of trans,trans-muconic acid (tt-MA, a biomarker of benzene) and Fe3+, which are closely related to human health. Notably, Tb3+@UiO-66–SO3H shows an outstanding recognition ability for Fe3+ among common cations with a low detection limit (0.11 μM, 0.006 ppm). More importantly, Tb3+@UiO-66–SO3H can realize highly sensitive and selective detection of tt-MA (detection limit, 0.58 μM, 0.083 ppm). Besides, this rapid response probe is facilely prepared, non-toxic and reusable, showing the potential of Tb3+@UiO-66–SO3H in the practical monitoring of tt-MA and Fe3+.

Designing a green and efficient catalyst to effectively degrade antibiotics is still one of the hot topics of research. Firstly, 1D nanorod Fe 2 O 3 /NaNbO 3 composite was successfully prepared by the two steps strategy through hydrothermal combined calcination method. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by the degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light irradiation. The test results show that the 5% Fe 2 O 3 /NaNbO 3 nanorod material exhibits superior degradation rate of TC (89.4% removal efficiency in 90 min), and shows 5.62 times than that of NaNbO 3 nanorods. Under UV–visible light irradiation, 5% Fe 2 O 3 /NaNbO 3 nanorod composite with H 2 O 2 solution can degrade 97.4% of TC in 60 min, which is 12.1 times greater to that of the pure NaNbO 3 nanorods. The outstanding degradation performance may be attributed to the introduction of Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles, which can activate H 2 O 2 more efficiently and produce more free radicals to degrade pollutants. At the same time, the 5% Fe 2 O 3 /NaNbO 3 nanorod composite can also act as an activate persulfate (PS) and generate SO 4 − to efficiently degrade TC. In addition, the catalyst also showed good performance in degrading TC in the presence of different anions and cations. Plant growth experiment ( mung bean seeds ) results showed that the degradation products have obvious lower toxicity. This study provides new domain about the designing of a photo-Fenton catalyst having dual ion synergy (Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ and Nb 5+ /Nb 4+ ) and full spectrum response.

A visible-light-driven photocatalytic fuel cell system integrating electro-Fenton process (EF-PFC), comprised of oxygen vacancies-rich rGO/BiO 1−x I photoanode and biomass-derived N-doped carbon (BNC) cathode, was developed to eliminate organic pollutant and generate electricity synchronously. The structure and properties of rGO/BiO 1−x I were characterized by means of XRD, SEM, TEM, solid-state EPR, FTIR, Raman, XPS, UV-vis DRS and PL spectra. The photoelectrochemical activity of rGO/BiO 1−x I was characterized by Mott-Schottky plots, photocurrent responses and EIS. The experimental results indicated that the introduced oxygen vacancies and graphene modification not only promoted the light-harvesting ability but also greatly improved the generation and transfer rate of charge carriers. Most importanly, BNC, acted as cathode, could efficiently reduce oxygen to H 2 O 2 , thus leading to more ·OH production in the presence of Fe 2+ . Simultaneously, the photogenerated electron could efficiently accelerate Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ redox cycling for continuous Fenton reaction and increasing electricity generation in synergistic EF-PFC system. Using formic acid as sacrificial fuel, approximately 68% removal efficiency was reached in rGO/BiO 1−x I-BNC EF-PFC system under visible light irradiation for 240 min while the photocurrent density ( J sc ) and the maximum power density ( P max ) were measured to be 133.18 μA cm −2 and 17.50 μW cm −2 . Furthermore, the radicals trapping experiments, hydrogen peroxide quantitative studies and ESR tests clearly revealed the mechanism of enhanced performance in rGO/BiO 1−x I-BNC EF-PFC system. Therefore, this engineered rGO/BiO 1−x I-BNC EF-PFC system with the cooperation of Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ redox is a promising means to eliminate organic pollutants and generate electricity synchronously.
