Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation is considered to be a promising approach to converting solar energy into clean chemical fuels. α-Fe2O3 is a potential photoanode material for water oxidation with a high theoretical photocurrent density (12.6 mA cm–2) driven by visible light. Constructing α-Fe2O3-based heterojunction with other semiconductors is a promising strategy to improve the actual photoelectrocatalytic activity. In this work, nitrogen-doped Ta2O5 is introduced to synthesize N-Ta2O5-h@α-Fe2O3 nanorod heterojunction with different band structures. At the interface, electrons transfer from N-Ta2O5-h to α-Fe2O3, which forms a built-in electric field. The heterojunction structure contributes to inhibiting the severe recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. By controlling the duration of mild heat treatment, the N-Ta2O5-h nanorods with different Fermi energy levels and contents of oxygen vacancies are obtained. A mild heat treatment in N2 is proved to enlarge the ΔE by leveling up the Fermi level and to promote the content of oxygen vacancies for the N-Ta2O5-h@α-Fe2O3 heterojunction as the heat-treatment time increases. The PEC water oxidation performance of the N-Ta2O5-h@α-Fe2O3 heterojunction increases when the mild-heat-treatment time is 2 h and decreases for 6 h treatment. Eventually, N-Ta2O5-2@α-Fe2O3 exhibits an enhanced photocurrent density of 3.10 mA cm–2 (4.4 times higher than that of bare α-Fe2O3), an efficiently boosted charge separation (2.0 times higher than bare α-Fe2O3), and a high chemical stability after a long-term test.

The onset potential is an important descriptor of the photoelectrochemical water oxidation performance of photoanodes. Herein, we prepared Gd-doped hematite (Gd-Fe 2 O 3 )/iron (III) oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) core-shell photoanodes by in-situ isovalent doping and secondary hydrothermal treatment . This Gd-Fe 2 O 3 /FeOOH photoanode shows a record alkaline water oxidation onset potential (0.59 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode) in hematite-based photoanodes and a 2.4-fold increase in photocurrent density over pristine hematite . Detailed studies demonstrate that the origin of the ultra-low onset potential is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of isovalent Gd-doping and FeOOH cocatalyst. Specifically, Gd doping enhances donor density and reduces charge transport resistance, and FeOOH cocatalyst significantly improves water oxidation kinetics. In addition, the strong interfacial coupling of FeOOH and Gd-Fe 2 O 3 promotes electron flow, which also improves the charge separation remarkably. This work gives hope for the achievement of stable and bias-free hematite-based photoanodes.

Nanocomposites composed of Ag and γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles within poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) derived amorphous carbon nitride (a-CN) films (Ag + γ-Fe 2 O 3 @a-CN) were synthesized by a one-step facile pyrolysis strategy. Transmission electron microscopy analysis shows that Ag and γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles were obtained in situ and homogeneously dispersed on the a-CN matrix. The average size of nanoparticles was 8.1 nm. The presence of γ-Fe 2 O 3 , Ag, and a-CN in the nanocomposite was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis, UV–visible absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Ag + γ-Fe 2 O 3 @a-CN catalyzed the degradation of methyl orange. This catalyst was also recycled ten times by magnetic separation without any loss in efficiency. Ag + γ-Fe 2 O 3 @a-CN exhibited strong antibacterial activity against E . coli and S . aureus . It also exhibited excellent antibacterial activity even after 20 times magnetic recycling. This indicates that this is a promising recyclable antibacterial and catalyst for environmental applications.

Constructing advanced photo-Fenton catalyst provides an effective strategy to improve photogenerated charge separation for catalytic removal of organic contaminants, however it faces challenges in efficient morphology control and recovery methods. Biochar has become a promising material on account of its high efficiency and adjustable physicochemical properties. For the purpose of enhancing the economic applicability of biochar catalysts, a series of the biochar modified multi-morphologies Fe 2 O 3 photo-Fenton catalysts (Fe 2 O 3 /BC) were prepared for efficient removal tetracycline (TC) in this work. The obtained characterization results revealed that the adoption of biochar can avoid the agglomeration of Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles and obtained the Nanosheet-, Cube- and Ring-like photo-Fenton catalysts, respectively. The Nanosheet-like Fe 2 O 3 /BC displayed the highest TC removal of 97.0 % within 80 min, which the degradation rate constant was approximately 3 and 18 times those of Cube-like Fe 2 O 3 /BC and Ring-like Fe 2 O 3 /BC photo-Fenton catalysts. The photocurrent signal density was in the order of Nanosheet-like Fe 2 O 3 /BC>Cube-like Fe 2 O 3 /BC>Ring-like Fe 2 O 3 /BC, while the semicircle radius of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results in the order of Nanosheet-like Fe 2 O 3 /BC

Wastewater from uranium mining activities is highly acidic and contains uranium, thereby posing severe risks to the ecological environment and human health. Accordingly, uranium purification is extremely crucial. Herein, we delicately designed a novel adsorbent of diethylenetriaminepenta(methylenephosphonic) acid (DTPMP) and meso -SiO 2 modified γ-Fe 2 O 3 (γ-Fe 2 O 3 @SiO 2 @DTPMP, denoted as FSD), and found that the adsorbent can remarkably boost the removal performance of U(VI) under highly acidic conditions. The removal efficiencies of U(VI) by FSD are 90.26 % and 99.81 % in strong acidic solutions of pH = 1.0 and pH = 2.0, respectively, which are much higher than most of the reported adsorbents. Importantly, FSD exhibits high adsorption capacity (51.45 mg/g) and excellent anti-interference, even the wastewater stream contained a lot of organic substances ( e.g. , fulvic acid), cations ( e.g. , K + , Na + , Mg 2+ , NH 4 + , Zn 2+ , Co 2+ , etc.), radioactive nuclides ( e.g. , Cs + and Sr 2+ ). After five cycles, the adsorption efficiency and desorption efficiency of FSD only reduced by 8.83 % and 9.61 %, respectively, which are mainly attributed to the unique structures and good chemical stability of FSD. The removal of U(VI) by FSD is a heterogeneous adsorption process which is dominated by chemical adsorption, mainly involving surface coordination complexation. Multiwfn wavefunction and VMD programs based on density functional theory (DFT) further analyzed and visualized the interaction sites and relative strengths of reactions. The results of detailed characterization analysis and theoretical calculations confirmed that the highly efficient U(VI) removal by FSD is mainly ascribed to the strong coordination of the phosphate groups and amino nitrogen atoms in DTPMP with UO 2 2+ . Therefore, this study provides a promising strategy for the removal of U(VI) in strongly acidic wastewater.

For effectively strengthening the comprehensive properties of intumescent flame-retardant epoxy resins (EPs), a microencapsulating γ-Fe 2 O 3 by polypyrrole (PPy) named PPy-Fe 2 O 3 was synthesized and used as a synergist to simultaneously enhance the flame retardancy, smoke toxicity suppression and mechanical strength of EP composites containing diaminodiphenylmethane modified ammonium polyphosphate (DDP). The results demonstrate that the mixture of PPy-Fe 2 O 3 and DDP exhibits a surprising synergistic effect on strengthening the comprehensive properties of EP composites. Specifically, EP composite containing 0.2 wt% PPy-Fe 2 O 3 and 9.8 wt% DDP achieves the UL94 V-0 rating with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of 35.5%, while 10 wt% DDP only imparts a UL94 V-1 rating and a LOI value of 34.0% to EP. Furthermore, 0.2 wt% PPy-Fe 2 O 3 shows a 11.0% reduction in peak smoke production rate and a 12.3% reduction in peak heat release rate of the EP/DDP system. The enhanced fire security of EP/DDP/PPy-Fe 2 O 3 is attributed to the formation of more phosphorus-rich structures retained in the char, thus reducing the release of harmful gases including NH 3 , CO, and CO 2 , and generating more incombustible gases including H 2 O to weaken burning intensity. Meanwhile, the satisfactory compatibility of PPy-Fe 2 O 3 with epoxy matrix imparts a superior mechanical strength to EP composites.

The Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ cycle has been identified as the rate-limiting step in the Fenton system, and many efforts have been made to promote the Fe 3+ reduction via external electrons provided by various electron donors. However, how to design an efficient electron transport pathway and then inhibit the invalid electron shuttle has been largely underestimated. In this study, two kinds of heterogeneous Fenton catalysts of CuO@Fe 2 O 3 and CuO@C@Fe 2 O 3 were prepared. The key role of carbon in transporting electrons as an electron bridge and its enhancement mechanism in photo-assisted Fenton-like performances were explored in detail. Compared with CuO@Fe 2 O 3 , the removal efficiency of tetracycline (TC) and the corresponding pseudo-first order reaction rate constants over CuO@C@Fe 2 O 3 increased significantly from 88.6 % and 0.1054 min −1 to 99.7 % and 0.2058 min −1 , respectively. Based on a series of probe experiments, visible light irradiation can promote the reduction of Cu 2+ to Cu + , then the carbon in CuO@C@Fe 2 O 3 can effectively transfer electrons from Cu + to Fe 3+ , enhancing the Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ cycle and the following Fenton-like efficiency. Since more ·OH while less ∙O 2 - was produced over CuO@C@Fe 2 O 3 , which further supports the fact that the enhanced Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ cycle was due to the transfer electron from Cu + to Fe 3+ instead of the Haber-Wiss mechanism. Hence, this study provides new insight for effectively improving the transfer efficiency and effective utilization of electrons in Fenton systems.

The Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene (KRAS) represents one of the most frequently mutated oncogenes in a variety of malignant tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC), and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Therefore, it is regarded as a pivotal tumor marker, and the detection of it holds immense significance in the realm of tumor prevention, diagnosis, and disease monitoring. In this project, an α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 @Au-DNA/BSA probe was progressively constructed to capture KRAS, and the binding probe was immobilized onto the surface of magnetic glass carbon electrodes (MGCE) through magnetic self-assembly for detection purposes. The fabrication process was validated by changes observed in cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was employed to optimize crucial experimental conditions and analyze biosensor performance. This condition optimization resulted in enhanced sensitivity of the biosensor, leading to improved linearity of data obtained. The limit of detection (LOD) achieved was 1.93 pM, with a limit of quantification (LOQ) at 5.84 pM, and a linear range ranging from 10 pM to 1 μM. Additionally, the stability (the current maintaining stability during the initial eight days), reproducibility (RSD = 2.47 %), selectivity, and real sample analysis (recovery rates ranging from 95.26 % to 109.80 %, RSD ≤ 1.22 %) were found to be favorable. These findings suggest promising prospects for practical applications of this biosensor.

The tendency of small-sized covalent organic framework (COF) nanoparticles to easily agglomerate, and the propensity of photo-generated carriers in α -Fe 2 O 3 to recombine pose challenges in the efficient removal of tetracycline (TC) through adsorption-photocatalysis synergy. This study addresses these challenges by introducing MIL-101, known for its excellent chemical stability and large specific surface area. The amino functional group facilitates the in-situ growth of acyl chloride-covalent organic framework (AC-COF) on the surface of MIL-101, resulting in the fabrication of AC-COF@MIL-101 with a core-shell structure. Loading α -Fe 2 O 3 through structural regulation leads to the preparation of the final α -Fe 2 O 3 /AC-COF@MIL-101 ternary nanocomposite. In α -Fe 2 O 3 /AC-COF@MIL-101 composites, the high surface energy of AC-COF is mitigated by the strong chemical energy of N C-N, reducing AC-COF aggregation and decreasing the recombination rate of photogenerated carriers in α -Fe 2 O 3 . The heterojunction structure between AC-COF@MIL-101 and α -Fe 2 O 3 enhances the degradation of TC, attributed to the synergistic effect of adsorption and photocatalysis. Experimental results demonstrate that α -Fe 2 O 3 /AC-COF@MIL-101 has a maximum adsorption capacity of 135.14 mg/g, achieving a 100% TC removal rate within 30 min. Compared to AC-COF, MIL-101, and α -Fe 2 O 3 , α -Fe 2 O 3 /AC-COF@MIL-101 exhibits higher adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity. Specifically, its adsorption capacity is 2.1 times that of AC-COF, 1.8 times that of MIL-101, and 10.6 times that of α -Fe 2 O 3 . Additionally, its degradation ability is 8.6 times that of α -Fe 2 O 3 . The adsorption of TC by α -Fe 2 O 3 /AC-COF@MIL-101 occurs through monolayer chemical adsorption, and the process is exothermic. The main active species involved in the photocatalytic degradation process are h + and ·OH. This study introduces a new ternary composite multifunctional material with high adsorption and photocatalytic performance for TC, offering a potential strategy for enhancing the synergistically adsorption-photocatalytic effect in ternary composite systems.

A systematic study of the preparation and metallurgical properties of magnesia flux pellets was used to elucidate the mechanism for oxidation and consolidation occurring during oxidative roasting. The compressive strength of the finished pellets was 3545 N/P. With sufficient basicity and MgO contents, magnetite (Fe) x [Fe] 2 O 4 and maghemite γ-Fe 2 O 3 with spinel-type crystal structures combined with MgO/CaO to form nonstoichiometric Mg x Fe 1-x Fe 2 O 4 (0 < x < 1) and Ca y Fe 1-y Fe 2 O 4 (0 < y < 1). With higher basicity and MgO contents, the participation of CaO/MgO was the driving force for gradient conversion from olivine Fe 2 SiO 4 to olivine Mg x Ca 2-x SiO 4 . The CaO/MgO combined with magnetite (Fe) x [Fe] 2 O 4 and maghemite γ-Fe 2 O 3 to form stable (Ca, Mg) x Fe 1-x Fe 2 O 4 , CaFe 2 O 4 and CaFe 3 O 5 , thereby inhibiting recrystallization of the pellets and resulting in poorer metallurgical properties of the magnesia flux pellets.

Photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC) is a novel energy conversion device that can effectively convert light into chemical energy and then electrical energy, accompanied with the pollutant purification treatment by photocatalytic technology. In this study, the synergetic photocatalytic degradation of organic dye in anode and the reduction of heavy metal Cr(VI) in cathode are carried out in an improved dual-chamber PFC device with TiO 2 and core–shell structured Ag@Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles as photoanode and cathode materials , respectively. Among different materials, Ag@Fe 2 O 3 shows the highest catalytic activity to the reduction of Cr(VI) with an apparent kinetic constant of 0.058 min −1 , even much better than commercial Pt foil (0.027 min −1 ). From morphology and electrical characterizations, the excellent electrical conductivity of noble metal Ag and suitable conduction band positions between TiO 2 and Fe 2 O 3 lead to a rapid and directional transfer of photoinduced electrons, and the variable valence of Fe(II)/(III) in iron oxide facilitates continuous catalytic reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). Moreover, the addition of H 2 O 2 into anode chamber can significantly accelerate the reactions and electricity output. The radical quenching tests prove that the existence of H 2 O 2 can efficiently increase the production of photoinduced carriers, and more oxidizing species (such as O 2 − and OH) can be produced from the reactions between H 2 O 2 and photoinduced holes or electrons.

Novel, efficient and environmentally friendly approaches have been developed for the synthesis of 1,5-benzodiazepine-2,3-dicarboxylates by one-pot three-component domino reactions in the presence of a catalytic amount of γ-Fe 2 O 3 @SiO 2 /Ce(OTf) 3 in EtOH at ambient temperature. A total of 32 2,5-dihydro-1 H -1,5-benzodiazepine-2,3-dicarboxylates and 2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1 H -1,5-benzodiazepine-2,3-dicarboxylates with enamine or imine structure of the heterocycle, respectively, were obtained in good yields by reacting substituted 1,2-phenylenediamine, β-carbonyl esters, and ethyl glyoxylate or ethyl pyruvate. One-pot reactions were successfully realized to form one new cycle and four new bonds (one C–C, two C–N, one C=C or two C–C, one C–N, one C=N). Furthermore, plausible mechanisms for the formation of 1,5-benzodiazepine-2,3-dicarboxylates have been proposed. The salient features of this reaction include short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, moderate to excellent yields, recyclability of the catalyst, and wide substrate scope.
