The regulation of heterogeneous material properties to strengthen the peroxymonosulfate activation to destroy refractory pharmaceuticals remains a challenge. Herein, a promising nitrogen-deficient catalyst (FeCN) with single atom Fe and Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles dispersing on g -C 3 N 4 matrix was synthesized and applied as a competent peroxydisulfate (PDS) activator for tetracycline (TC) degradation under visible light. The K-edge X-ray absorption fine structures and 57 Fe Mössbauer measurements confirmed the unique configuration of Fe 2 O 3 and single atom Fe active sites (pyrrolic and pyridinic FeN 4 ) induced by the neighbouring nitrogen vacancies. The theory calculations and experiments provided a deep insight into the PDS activation and TC degradation via radical and non-radical pathways. The pyrrolic FeN 4 active sites dominated the electron transfer, while the pyridinic FeN 4 and Fe 2 O 3 decomposed PDS to produce free radicals. The synergistic effect between the Fenton-like oxidation and photocatalysis is responsible for efficient TC degradation. This study offers a new strategy by integrating novel catalysts and advanced oxidation technology for effective wastewater purification.

This work for the first time reports on a simple and rapid colorimetric immunoassay with rapid coordination of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP) and iron (III) for determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, used as a model) by using Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticle based-chromogenic substrate system. The signal was produced rapidly (1 min) from the coordination of AAP and iron (III) with color development of colorless to brown. TD-DFT calculation methods were employed to simulate the UV–Vis spectra of AAP-Fe 2+ and AAP-Fe 3+ complexes. Moreover, Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticle could be dissolved with the aid of acid, thereby releasing free iron (III). Herein, a sandwich-type immunoassay was established based on Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticle as labels. As target CEA concentration increased, the number of Fe 2 O 3 labelled-antibodies (bound specifically) increased, resulting in loading more Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticle on platform. The absorbance increased as the number of free iron (III), derived from Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticle, increased. So, the absorbance of reaction solution is positively correlated with antigen concentration. Under optimal conditions, the current results showed good performance for CEA detection in the range 0.02–10.0 ng/mL with a detection limit of 11 pg/mL. Moreover, the repeatability, stability, and selectivity of the colorimetric immunoassay were also acceptable.

High electrochemical performance of asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) depends on exquisite nanostructure design and synthesis of electrodes, including structural controllable design and synthesis of high theoretical performance materials and nanocomposite materials. Herein, a template-free hierarchical core-shell nanostructure of CoNiO 2 @NiAl-layered double hydroxide (NiAl-LDH) and α-Fe 2 O 3 with a hollow spherical structure composed of nanoparticles are successfully prepared. The CoNiO 2 @NiAl-LDH as the cathode electrode and the hollow spherical α-Fe 2 O 3 as the anode electrode of the ASC devices exhibit superior electrochemical performance. The gel of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and KOH acts as the solid electrolyte and the separator to assemble into the all-solid-state flexible ASC devices. Two of the CoNiO 2 @NiAl-LDH//α-Fe 2 O 3 ASC devices in series are fabricated to meet the voltage requirement of mobile energy equipment, which exhibit a maximum energy density of 65.68 Wh kg −1 at the power density of 369.45 W kg −1 . Interestingly, in addition to many advantages that the solid electrolyte in ASC devices already have, we find that it can be an alternative way of solving the problem of iron oxide cycling performance, and of course it can also be used as a reference for other materials with poor cycling performance.

Nowadays, agglomeration and leaching of metal active sites during reaction and recycle processes are considered to be a thorny problem for noble metal-based catalysts. Therefore, to make improvements, nano-gold was selected as a representative research object for many noble metals. In this study, Au nanoparticles (NPs) and magnetic γ-Fe2O3 were intercalated in situ in the walls of MCM-41 via a one-pot hydrothermal method, in which the intercalation process was preceded by co-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) with MPTS-Au complexes ((3-mercaptopropyl)-trimethoxysilane (MPTS), HAuCl4·3H2O), and a Fe3O4 sol. By the confinement of silica, Au NPs and γ-Fe2O3 were well dispersed in the walls of MCM-41, the sintering and loss of Au NPs was highly restricted, and the magnetic property of γ-Fe2O3 facilitated the recycling of Au-based catalysts. Additionally, abundant void defects appeared in MCM-41 by assembly of micelles in different sizes and shapes, greatly improving the surface area of target catalysts (>1800 m2 g−1), which provided more opportunities for contact and collision between reactors and gold active sites, effectively solving the problem of mass transportation. As expected, a series FeAu@MCM-41 catalysts showed superior catalytic activity in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and organic dyes (MB, RhB, and MO), and these catalysts were recycled five times without significant loss of metal species or catalytic activity. This is attributed to the confinement effect of the silica walls and the excellent magnetic properties of γ-Fe2O3. This special structure of FeAu@MCM-41 catalysts provides more insights for designing and fabricating noble metal-based catalysts with desirable performances.

Developing an efficient visible-light-driven photocatalysts for conversion of atmospheric CO 2 into valuable fuels is a promising strategy to mitigate the escalating greenhouse gas, environmental, and energy crisis. This study presents an innovative design for a cascade Z-scheme comprising of dimensional matched SnO 2 -α-Fe 2 O 3 /g-C 3 N 4 (SO-FO/CN) nanosheets heterojunction. In this configuration, SnO 2 functions as an optimal energy platform that not only facilitates charge transfer and separation but also sustains sufficient thermodynamic energy for redox reactions and inhibits the undesired type-II charge transfer pathway. The optimized cascade Z-scheme exhibits a remarkable 20-fold improved photoactivity for CO 2 conversion to CH 4 and CO compared to bare g-C 3 N 4 (CN). It also shows significantly improved photocatalytic activity for the degradation of toxic organic pollutants, 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) ∼6.6-fold and bisphenol A (BPA) ∼4.2-fold, respectively. The improved photocatalytic activity results from effective charge separation facilitated by the Z-scheme, along with a favorable energy platform and extended charge lifetime. This innovative strategy, which utilize an energy platform, presents a promising approach for designing an efficient Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts for solar-to-fuel conversion and pollutant degradation.

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.

To realize the simultaneous measurement of gap and gas concentration between narrow curved surfaces, in this article, a flexible spiral sensing element based on $\alpha $ -Fe2O3-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) (mass ratio is 100) coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is prepared by spraying and spin coating technology using polyimide (PI) film as the substrate. The spiral structure has eddy current effect under ac excitation, which is sensitive to the change in the gap between the sensing element and metal target. Meanwhile, the $\alpha $ -Fe2O3-doped MWCNTs can respond to gas. The experimental results indicate that the gas response values of impedance amplitude, impedance angle, and resistance are 0.509%, 0.216%, and 1.376% at ethanol vapor concentration of 5000 ppm when the curvature radius is 50 mm with a gap of 0.5 mm, respectively. The absolute/relative sensitivities of impedance amplitude and impedance angle to the gap are 175 $711.54~\pm ~1424.85~\Omega \cdot \text { mm}^{-1}$ /11.347% $\pm ~0.095{\%}\cdot \text { mm}^{-1}$ and $2.614^{\circ }~\pm ~0.015^{\circ }\cdot \text { mm}^{-1}$ /5.307% $\pm ~0.033{\%}\cdot \text { mm}^{-1}$ in the gap range of 0–0.5 mm, respectively. In addition, according to impedance complex plane diagram of the sensing element, a signal processing method based on R–X is proposed, and the ability of flexible spiral sensing element to simultaneously measure the gap and gas concentration between narrow curved surfaces is preliminarily verified.

Nowadays, simultaneous removal of organic pollutants and heavy metals from wastewater is still a complicated task with great challenge. Herein, a newly-designed Fe-g-C 3 N 4 /α-Fe 2 O 3 composite with an active N-Fe-O bridge was prepared by coupling Fe-doped g-C 3 N 4 (namely Fe-g-C 3 N 4 ) and α-Fe 2 O 3 . Interestingly, the combination of Fe-g-C 3 N 4 with α-Fe 2 O 3 broadened the light absorption region and restrained the photoinduced electron-hole pair recombination. Meanwhile, elaborate construction of N-Fe-O bridges based on coordination interaction can reduce electrochemical impedance and facilitate electron transfer, thereby prolonging the charge lifetime. As expected, the Fe-g-C 3 N 4 /α-Fe 2 O 3 composite displayed excellent photocatalytic performance in simultaneous removal of tetracycline (TC) and Cr(VI). More importantly, Fe-g-C 3 N 4 /α-Fe 2 O 3 -mediated electron transfer from TC to Cr(VI) also played an essential role on TC oxidation and Cr(VI) reduction under visible light. Both experimental analyses and theoretical calculations revealed that the migration route of photogenerated carriers followed a direct Z-scheme heterojunction mechanism under built-in electric field. The Fe-g-C 3 N 4 /α-Fe 2 O 3 composite with great stability also displayed promising practical application potential. In short, the current work not only provided a highly-efficient photocatalyst with N-Fe-O bridges but also shared new insights into the simultaneous removal of organic pollutants and heavy metals.

A S-scheme Fe/Fe 2 O 3 @CBO photocatalyst was synthesized via a grinding calcination method, proficiently degrading tetracycline via radicals and non-radical. The reaction rate of Fe/Fe 2 O 3 @CBO-20 was recovered to 0.0255 min −1 that is 4.3 and 7.3 times as many as pristine Fe/Fe 2 O 3 and CBO after introducing visible light at the degradation process. The characterization outcomes also bear out that the S-scheme heterojunction is formed by passivation layer Fe 2 O 3 and CBO, which enhances the visible light responsiveness of catalyst and promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated electrons to generate h + and O 2 − . Meanwhile, the molecular oxygen is more easily activated to form H 2 O 2 due to the strong reduction potential of the CB (−1.21 eV), further to facilitate the transformation of O 2 − to 1 O 2 . And the carriers excited in CBO activate Cu + , forming a Cu/Fe dual-metal electron cycle. The generated Fe 2+ reacts with H 2 O 2 to establish photocatalysis-self-Fenton system to generate ·OH. Additionally, the high TC removal in simulated aquatic environment exhibit that the catalytic performance is slightly affected by practical wastewater and the cyclic experiment show the stability and practicality. In conclusion, innovatively employing Fe/Fe 2 O 3 for pollutant degradation via photocatalytic technology, this research paves a promising and efficacious pathway for the application of Fe/Fe 2 O 3 .

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), the main component of pollutants in atmospheric environments, causes and exacerbates respiratory diseases, especially during outdoor sports even at the 100 ppb level. Currently, environmental gas detection still faces challenges such as high detection limits, low SNR, and low sensitivity. A NO2 sensor based on In(OH)3-α-Fe2O3–ZnO was prepared using a hydrothermal method, featuring an ultralow detection limit of 82 ppt, an exceptionally high SNR of 574,000, and an ultrahigh sensitivity of 252.25 mV/ppm (100 ppb to 1 ppm). And this sensor exhibits excellent response, selectivity, and repeatability. These excellent sensing characteristics come from the adsorbed oxygen on the surface of the material with the formation of n–n heterojunctions. Additionally, a low-power, portable, and cost-effective environmental monitoring system (named Smart Breath Sentinel (SBS)) was designed to intelligently upgrade ordinary masks. SBS enables real-time wireless environmental gas monitoring with integrated humidity compensation to ensure accurate measurements in high-humidity environments. SBS has already been tested in multiple environments, and the test results have proven the feasibility of SBS. This sensor based on In(OH)3-α-Fe2O3–ZnO demonstrates significant potential for applications aimed at enhancing human safety.
