Transition metal phosphates (TMPs) are considered as promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity (up to 1000 mAh g −1 ) and low cost. However, the poor electrochemical reaction kinetics and large volume expansion of TMPs are not conducive to practical applications in SIBs. In view of this, a kind of self-supported iron nickel phosphide (Fe-Ni-P) composite nanosheet arrays are obtained by reasonable hydrothermal reaction and phosphidation process. The nanosheet arrays construction can significantly release the mechanical strain and promote electrochemical reaction kinetics. Furthermore, the volume expansion can be largely alleviated by the synergistic effect of Fe 2 P and Ni 2 P. Benefiting from the unique design, the robust Fe-Ni-P arrays manifest remarkable Na + storage capability. The Fe-Ni-P nanosheet arrays exhibit a large discharge capacity of 300.9 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g −1 . And there is a reversible capacity of 201.7 mAh g −1 can be maintained without obvious capacity loss after 200 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 in SIBs.

Efficient and low-cost catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation are needed for pollution prevention and environmental remediation. In this work, PMS activation by CoFe layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) was promoted by compositing with biochar (BC). The characterization and catalytic performance of BC, CoFe-LDH, and BC@CoFe-LDH composite (BC-LDH) were investigated. The results indicated that BC could act as a catalyst carrier and electron mediator, which improved the physicochemical properties of CoFe-LDH and promoted the redox cycle of transition metals. The redox-active moieties (RAMs) of BC, especially the reduced functional groups (e.g., phenolic –OH), played an important role in the reduction of Co(III) and Fe(III). Remarkably, benefiting from the synergistic effect between BC and CoFe-LDH, the resulting BC-LDH exhibited excellent catalytic activity and stability for PMS activation. More reactive oxygen species (ROS) were produced in BC-LDH/PMS system. As a result, 100% of dimethyl phthalate (DMP, 10 mg L −1 ) degradation efficiency was achieved within 60 min in BC-LDH/PMS system, while only 62% in CoFe-LDH/PMS system. The intermediates of DMP degradation were identified and the degradation pathways were proposed. Our findings are expected to provide new insights into the rational design and application of BC materials and transition metals/PMS system for environmental remediation.

Constructing and excavating single atom catalysts with high-density active sites and long-life durability for energy storage and conversion devices still remain bestially challenges. In this paper, a novel dual-site electrocatalyst with atomically dispersed Fe/Mn-N x -C dual metal sites embedded in N-doped carbon matrix is successfully designed and synthesized, which exhibits a state-of-the-art oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity with a half-wave potential (E 1/2 ) of 0.88 V (vs. RHE) as well as a superior stability. Besides, the Fe/Mn-N x -C catalyst reaches a high power density of 208.6 mW cm −2 and a specific energy density of 825.5 W h kg -1 when this catalyst is employed in Zn-air battery, which is superior to most of the reported non-precious catalysts. Furthermore, theoretical DFT calculations reveal the excellent performance is induced through a synergic dual-site cascade mechanism, which overcomes the issue of low adsorption energy (E ads ) of *OH on Fe-N x site, followed by transfer of the *OH to adjacent Mn-N x sites. As a result, the first three steps during ORR more favored occur on the Fe-N x sites instead of the Mn sites to generate *OOH and *O intermediates due to the lower energy barriers. This mechanism is further approved by addition of methanol to verify the preferred adsorption of *OH on the Mn-N x site.

Integrating magnetic resonance (MR) and photoacoustic (PA) contrast agents into porous nanomaterials is a favorable way for screening of potential theranostic nanomedicines. Hollow carbon nanospheres (HCSs) dotted with GdPO4 and γ-Fe2O3 (Gd–Fe) nanoparticles are therefore prepared and studied in this work. The resultant Gd–Fe/HCSs possess a size of ∼100 nm with a cavity of ∼80 nm and a shell thickness of ∼10 nm, where the magnetic Gd–Fe nanoparticles are dotted. Owing to the synergistic effects, the Gd–Fe/HCSs give 2.5 times enhanced PA signals as compared with HCSs as well as the inherited MR imaging properties from Gd–Fe nanoparticles. In vivo MR and PA imaging of the liver in mice are consequently evaluated and validated. Furthermore, taking the tunable particle size, hollow cavity, shell thickness, and dotted amounts of nanoparticles into consideration, our studies here provide a useful structural model for the synergistic integration of MR and PA imaging in HCSs.

A lot of nanomaterials are using T1-T2dual mode magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agents (CAs), but multilayer nanowire (NW) with iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) as T1-T2dual modal CAs has not been reported yet. Herein, we synthesized a Fe/Mn multilayer NW with an adjustable Fe layer, as T1-T2dual-mode CAs. The relaxation performance of Fe/Mn multilayer NW was studied at 1.5 T. Results show that, when the length of the Fe layer is about 10 nm and the Mn is about 5 nm, the r1value (21.8 mM−1s−1) and r2value (74.8 mM−1s−1) of the Fe/Mn multilayer NW are higher than that of Mn NW (3.7 mM−1s−1) and Fe NW (59.3 mM−1s−1), respectively. We predict that our Fe/Mn multilayer NW could be used as T1-T2dual mode MRI CAs in the near future.Keywords:dual modal;MRI;CAs;nanowire;relaxation

Both Fe(III) and fatty acids are ubiquitous and important species in environmental waters. Because they are amphipathic, many fatty acids are surface active and prone to enrichment at the air–water interface. Here, we report that by using nonanoic acid (NA) as a model fatty acid, coexisting Fe(III), even at concentrations as low as 1 μM, markedly enhanced the photochemical release of NA-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as octanal and octane into the air. Further studies indicated that the surface-enriched fatty acids dramatically increase the local concentration of Fe(III) at the water surface, which enables Fe(III)-mediated photochemical reactions to take place at the air–water interface, and the VOCs facilely produced by fatty acid photooxidation can then be released into the air. Moreover, the product distribution in the Fe(III)-mediated reactions was largely different from that in other photochemical systems, and a mechanism based on photochemical decarboxylation is proposed. Considering that the coexistence of fatty acids and Fe(III) in the environment is common, the enhanced photochemical release of VOCs by surface-enriched fatty acids and Fe(III) may be an important channel for the atmospheric emission of VOCs, which are known to play an essential role in the formation of ozone and secondary organic aerosols.

CO2 electroreduction into valuable products holds great promise for energy supply and environmental remediation but remains a challenge due to the lack of high-performance electrocatalysts. Herein, we developed an efficient strategy to prepare highly active Fe single-atom catalysts (Fe–N5/Fe–N6) by tuning the coordination number of Fe with N towards CO2 electroreduction. The faradaic efficiency of CO for Fe–N5 exceeded 90% ranging from −0.35 to −0.65 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (vs. RHE) towards CO2 electroreduction. The turnover frequency of CO for Fe–N5 reached 5006 h−1 at −1.05 V vs. RHE, which was 3.8 times that (1324 h−1) of Fe–N6. Besides, CO was generated at an overpotential as low as 50 mV over Fe–N5, smaller than that (90 mV) over Fe–N6. Density functional theory calculations demonstrated that Fe–N5 facilitated the adsorption and activation of CO2 to form the *COOH intermediate, thus leading to superior selectivity and activity for CO2 electroreduction.

A surge of effort has been devoted to establishing super-wetting membranes with versatility for oily waste water purification. However, persistent challenge remains the lower separation flux. Moreover, the majorities of catalysts are only adsorbed on the surface and easily fall off after multiple cyclic separations. In this work, an effective strategy has been taken to construct a composite membrane consisting of polyacrylic acid functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs-PAA) and MIL101(Fe)@platinum nanoparticles (MIL101(Fe)@Pt NPs). The obtained CNTs-PAA/MIL101(Fe)@Pt composite membrane can achieve degradation of dye molecules and at the same time effective separation of oil-in-water emulsions. The separation throughput of this composite membrane can reach up to 11000 L m −2 h -1 bar -1 , which has exceeded most of the previous reported multifunctional separation membranes. Furthermore, this composite membrane has presented stable mechanical property and excellent anti-corrosion ability. This work gives comprehensive consideration to excellent separation performance, versatility and stability, which could have potential applications in practical oily wastewater treatment.

The oxygen evolution reaction is critical to the efficiency of many energy technologies that store renewable electricity in chemical form. However, the rational design of high-performance and stable catalysts to drive this reaction remains a formidable challenge. Here, a facile ink-assisted strategy to construct a series of stable and advanced composite electrocatalysts with single Fe sites for permitting seriously improved performance characteristics is reported. As revealed by a suit of characterization techniques and theoretical methods, the improved electrocatalytic performance and stability can be attributed to the unique coordination states of Fe in the form of distorted Fe O 4 C and the interfacial effect in the composite system that optimize and stabilize single Fe sites in changing to better configurations for intermediates adsorption. The findings provide a novel strategy to in-depth understanding of practical guidelines for the electrocatalyst design for energy conversion devices.

Fe/N/C material is the most competitive alternative to precious-metal catalysts for oxygen reduction. In view of the present consensus on active centers, further effort is directed at maximizing the density of single Fe atoms. Here, the imperfections in commonly used doping strategy of Fe for the synthesis of zeolitic imidazolateframework (ZIF)-derived Fe/N/C catalysts are revealed. More importantly, a strikingly improved catalyst is obtained by a ‘second pyrolysis’ method and delivers a half-wave potential of 0.825 V (vs. RHE) in acidic media. The strong confinement effect of carbonaceous host accounts for the formation of dense single-atom sites and thus the high activity. Our findings will potentially facilitate future improvement of M/N/C catalysts.

Graphical Balancing act : Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is added to different positions of the Fe−N−C catalyst layer by using three methods to adjust its hydrophobicity. An appropriate amount of PTFE in the Fe−N−C catalyst layer is beneficial to the power density of the PEM fuel cell. However, the hydrophobicity of the Fe−N−C catalyst layer does not affect the long-term durability of the fuel cells, although high hydrophobicity will improve the fuel cell initial durability. The hydrophobicity of the cathode catalyst layer (CCL) affects the performance of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) by adjusting the water management of the catalyst layer, which has been extensively studied in Pt-based catalysts. Here, the effect of the hydrophobicity of Fe−N−C CCL on the performance of the PEMFC is investigated. The hydrophobicity of the Fe−N−C CCL is tuned by polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) by using three addition methods: 1) coat PTFE on Fe−N−C powder and heat-treat; 2) mix PTFE emulsion with Fe−N−C ink and then brush the electrode; and 3) transfer a ground PTFE/Fe−N−C composite film onto the gas diffusion layer by the decal method. For each PTFE addition method, the optimized PTFE amount can increase the power density of Fe−C−N PEMFC by 15.1 %, 26.6 %, and 87.2 %, respectively. At the same time, it is found that enhanced hydrophobicity reduces the initial current decay rate of the Fe−N−C CCLs, but their residual current densities are close after a 50 h durability test at 0.5 V in a H 2 -O 2 PEMFC. It can be concluded that the hydrophobicity of the Fe−N−C CLL has a great influence on the power density of the fuel cell, but the influence on the long-term durability of the fuel cell is negligible.

An efficient visible light responsive ZnIn 2 S 4 @NH 2 -MIL-53(Fe/Co 0.75 ) nanocomposite was prepared for photocatalytic hydrogen production application. Under visible light irradiation, the ZnIn 2 S 4 @NH 2 -MIL-53(Fe/Co 0.75 ) photocatalyst displayed improved photocatalytic performance and the hydrogen production rate reached to 161724.8 μmol/g in 6 h. The nanocomposite with large specific surface area and mesoporous structure increased the light absorption, improved the electrons transfer and suppressed the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, thus exhibiting efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production performance. The controllable synthesis of ZnIn 2 S 4 @NH 2 -MIL-53(Fe/Co 0.75 ) nanocomposite as a high-efficiency photocatalyst would have broad prospect for water splitting hydrogen production application.
