Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) have garnered significant interest due to their environmental friendliness, low cost, and high energy density. However, their practical application is significantly hindered by high overpotential and sluggish reaction kinetics. Here, we propose a hollow nitrogen-doped carbon supported atomically dispersed Fe and Mn sites (FeMn-HNC) through a facile NaCl-assisted pyrolysis strategy. The synthesized FeMn-HNC catalyst possesses a hollow porous structure, resulting in exceptional oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic activity, remarkable durable stability, and good tolerance to methanol. Furthermore, integrating this catalyst into ZABs demonstrates significant performance advantages, achieving a maximum power density of 223.1 mW cm −2 and a high specific capacity of 804.3 mAh g −1 . This study offers a promising approach for boosting the power density and specific capacity of nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts in ZABs.

The doping strategy with dark metallic oxide has proven effective in improving optical absorptions and heat storage performances of calcium-based materials for the direct solar-driven thermochemical energy storage system, but the microscopic mechanisms of accelerated decomposition of CaCO 3 during heat storage process are still unclear. Carbide slag as an industrial waste with low cost and high CaO content is considered as a potential calcium-based precursor for large-scale thermochemical energy storage. Herein, the novel Fe-doped and Mn-doped calcium-based materials were synthesized from carbide slag and their optical absorption properties and heat storage performances were determined in the experiment. The optimum decomposition temperatures of CaCO 3 during heat storage process decreased 10.5 °C and 18.6 °C due to Fe doping and Mn doping, respectively. The acceleration mechanisms by Fe doping and Mn doping for enhancing the CO 2 separation of CaCO 3 in the calcination stage of the heat storage process were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The structural parameters, partial density of states, electron differential densities and energy barriers during CO 3 2– dissociation in heat storage process on the doped CaCO 3 and undoped CaCO 3 surfaces were compared to clarify the effects of Fe doping and Mn doping on the CaCO 3 decomposition. The energy barriers of Fe-doped material and Mn-doped material are 1.68 eV and 1.42 eV, respectively, which are 29.4% and 40.3% lower than that of undoped material. This work helps to understand the microscopic mechanisms of accelerated CaCO 3 decomposition by Fe and Mn during heat storage process.

This study aims to design and evaluate a two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 -MXene contrast agent, codoped with iron and manganese, with the aim of achieving T 1 /T 2 dual-mode magnetic resonance imaging contrast, and to investigate its effect on Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) contrast agents. Single-layer Ti 3 C 2 was synthesized via the HCL/LiF etching technique, with the flake size subsequently tailored and the hydroxylated surface modified through a hydrothermal process. Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and MnO 2 nanosheets were integrated onto the two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 -MXene surface using an in situ doping approach, and the final modification was achieved with carboxymethyl chitosan. Various characterization techniques were employed to assess the physical and chemical properties of the probe, which were then combined with a CEST contrast agent to investigate the mechanisms of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging and in vitro photothermal effects. Upon integrating the multi-modal molecular probe with Ioversol for imaging purposes, at a magnetic field strength of B 1 = 1.25 μT and with a molecular probe concentration of 0.5 mg/mL, the CEST signal from Ioversol is almost entirely suppressed. This allows for the successful identification of a distinct concentration range where both contrast agents can coexist. In vitro photothermal studies on MXene codoped with iron and manganese have shown that the composite molecular probe exhibits excellent photothermal efficiency. The method combining complex nanoprobes with CEST contrast agents successfully achieved simultaneous imaging of both contrast agents. In vitro MRI experiments successfully obtained distinguishable concentration ranges for both, with changes in CEST signals reflecting the concentration variations of the complex molecular probes, which also exhibit good photothermal therapy (PTT) capabilities.

The emergence of nanozymes based on metal-organic frameworks has successfully addressed some limitations of natural enzymes. ZIF-8 is a framework with high pore rate consisting of Zn 2+ and 2-methylimidazole, but its catalytic activity is limited. In this study, a new metal organic framework named ZIF-8 (FM) was prepared by doping iron and manganese in ZIF-8, which exhibited enhanced catalytic performance. ZIF-8(FM) showed the peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity by oxidizing chromogenic substrates and was capable of colorimetric detection of dopamine in actual samples. In addition, in order to improve the photothermal conversion efficiency, ZIF-8(FM) was wrapped with polydopamine (PDA) to prepare ZIF-8(FM)@PDA. The antibacterial experiments of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus showed that ZIF-8(FM)@PDA had strong antibacterial effect. Nanomaterials based on ZIF-8(FM) have great potential in dopamine detection and effective photothermal antibacterial treatment.

This study presents a systematic investigation into the catalytic oxidation of toluene using metal–organic framework (MOF)-derived porous metal oxide catalysts obtained through controlled pyrolysis. The MOF-derived catalysts (Mn3O4-BTC, CeO2-BTC, Co3O4-BTC) demonstrated remarkable improvements in catalytic activity and stability compared to their commercial counterparts (Mn3O4-c, CeO2-c, Co3O4-c), achieving 90% toluene conversion (T90) at significantly lower temperatures of 240 °C, 241 °C, and 237 °C, respectively. Besides, a comprehensive suite of characterization techniques was employed to elucidate the structure–activity relationships. Specifically, various traditional and in situ characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 physisorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H2 programmed reduction (H2-TPR), online-tandem thermogravimetry-mass spectrometry (online-tandem TG-MS), and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (in situ DRIFTS), were employed to elucidate crystallinity, porosity, morphology analysis, probe surface chemistry, redox properties, real-time tracking of thermal decomposition, and reaction mechanisms during the catalytic oxidation of toluene. It was found that the enhanced catalytic performance could be attributed to the synergistic effects of a high surface area, well-dispersed active sites, and abundant oxygen vacancies. These insights provided fundamental insights into the design and optimization of MOF-derived catalysts for efficient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) abatement in environmental catalysis.

In this study, Mn-Ni-layered double hydroxides (Mn-Ni-LDHs) were synthesized and utilized to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for degrading reactive brilliant blue KN-R (KN-R) in aqueous solutions. The characterization results demonstrate that the catalysts synthesized are layered structures, and the surface area is 169.3 m 2 /g. The Mn-Ni-LDHs exhibited significant efficiency effective for the degradation of KN-R via activating PMS, achieving 96.5% degradation of KN-R within 90 min under optimal conditions (0.20 g/L catalyst, 10 mM PMS, pH=10.0 and 25°C). The reaction followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.0351 min -1 , and the apparent activation energy was calculated to be 11.94 kJ/mol. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and free radical scavenging experiments identified ·O 2 − and 1 O 2 as the primary reactive species involved in the reaction for KN-R degradation. The proposed catalytic mechanism suggests that redox cycling between Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ and Ni 3+ /Ni 2+ within Mn-Ni-LDHs plays a critical role in enhancing PMS activation, thereby promoting the continuous generation of active oxygen species.

Developing efficient low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (CO-SCR) catalysts remains a key challenge in reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Here, we report a photothermal-enhanced Rh–Mn/CoAlOx heterostructure catalyst that achieves excellent NO conversion (more than 90% at 140 °C) and N2 selectivity (>80%) under visible to infrared light irradiation. By integration of highly dispersed Rh units with Mn clusters onto a hydrotalcite-derived CoAlOx support, the catalyst exhibits synergistic light absorption and dynamic lattice oxygen migration capabilities. Through combined analysis using in situ DRIFTS, XAFS, XPS, EPR, and other techniques, we reveal that Mn doping induces numerous oxygen vacancies and promotes electron transfer between Rh and Mn, facilitating lattice oxygen activation via a mechanism similar to the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism. Light exposure reduces the activation energy and, according to Arrhenius analysis and NO-TPD results, accelerates the decomposition of nitrate intermediates and enhances the conversion rate of nitrous oxide to N2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that N2O is more likely to be generated at the Rh–Mn interface, demonstrating its enhanced low-temperature activation ability for NO. This study innovatively enhances the catalytic performance of CO-SCR using light, providing a sustainable method for reducing low-energy NOx emissions.

This study presents a novel nonradical catalytic oxidation system for targeted p-hydroxybenzene sulfonate (PHS) production from sulfonamides (SAs). A positive external electric field was applied to induce the in-situ activation of O 2 on Mn-doped Co 3 O 4 surface, with Mn-doping used to manipulate the reactivity of surface complexes. Theoretical simulations predicted CoMn-peroxides as thermodynamically favorable candidates for the targeted PHS production. Experimental validation achieved PHS yields of 18.4–32.6 % from five typical SA compounds. While 1 O 2 also actively participated in the oxidation of SAs, disruption of the 1 O 2 oxidation pathway significantly enhanced the PHS yields to 47.6–50.3 %. The intensity of electric field regulated the O 2 activation pathways by influencing the stability of CoMn-peroxides. This nonradical catalytic oxidation system demonstrated excellent catalyst reusability and environmental robustness for energy-efficient SAs removal and PHS recovery. These findings provide new insights into leveraging nonradical = pathways to advance catalytic oxidation technology for sustainable water management.

Volcanic rock is a natural mineral with a porous structure and rich in various metal oxides. It has been used in environmental applications such as water and soil pollution remediation as stable chemical properties and low cost. In this work, volcanic rock was used in the field of nitrogen oxide control, and the feasibility of preparing NH 3 - Selective Catalytic Reduction catalyst was evaluated. The catalyst AVR-10Mn-450 was prepared by acidification-impregnation-calcination process, and it can achieve more than 90 % denitration effect at 175 °C, 25000 h −1 . It removes nitrogen oxides through the Eley–Rideal and Langmuir–Hinshelwood pathways. AVR-10Mn-450 has the advantages of simple preparation and low cost compared with the mainstream nano-denitration catalysts. It can be applied to the pretreatment of industrial flue gas such as cement plant or glass plant, thereby extending the service life of the precious metal or nano-catalyst at the back end. This work not only realizes the high-value resource utilization of volcanic rock, but also reduces the production cost of denitration catalyst.

This study explored how pore size engineering in Nb-Mn/MCM-41 catalysts affects plasma-catalytic toluene oxidation. Adjusting the pore diameter (2.49–3.98 nm) modulated metal-support interactions and oxygen dynamics, with pore expansion to 3.73 nm (M3) optimizing the Mn4+/(Mn2++ Mn3+) ratio (XPS: 36.8%), the amount of lattice oxygen species (O2-TPD: 0.222 mmol/g), and crystallite size control (1.5 ± 0.2 nm, TEM). Smaller pores (M1: 2.49 nm) enhanced toluene adsorption but limited active site accessibility, while oversized pores (M4: 3.98 nm) reduced oxygen storage capacity (0.600→0.412 mmol/g). The Nb-Mn/M3 catalyst achieved superior performance with 96.8% toluene conversion, 55.0% CO2selectivity, and 85.4% carbon balance, while minimizing organic byproducts (GC-MS). Mechanistic studies revealed pore-mediated oxygen storage-transport cycles as critical for decoupling adsorption and oxidation steps. This study reveals fundamental mechanisms linking pore architecture to plasma-catalytic synergy in toluene oxidation, offering critical insights for the systematic design of energy-efficient, plasma-catalytic systems targeting industrial VOCs remediation.

Although hydrometallurgy is the primary method for recycling spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), handling the waste liquid produced during the leaching process remains a challenge due to the additional procedures and costs involved. This study presents an efficient, closed-loop recycling process for spent LiMn 2 O 4 (LMO) batteries. The waste LMO powders were initially leached with H 3 PO 4 and citric acid (CA) to obtain the leachate containing Li + , Mn 2+ , PO 4 3− and citrate ions. The metal ions leached into the solution are complexed by CA, achieving complete leaching of LMO. The H 3 PO 4 and CA provide both PO 4 3− and carbon sources for subsequent product preparation, minimizing resource waste and secondary pollution. The molar ratio of Li:Mn:Fe:PO 4 3− in the leachate was adjusted to 1:0.75:0.25:1, and LiMn 0.75 Fe 0.25 PO 4 (LMFP) with excellent performance was regenerated by spray drying and calcination. The regenerated LMFP-650 exhibited a capacity retention rate of 89.7% after 500 cycles, significantly improving the structural stability and cycling performance of LMO. This green, closed-loop recycling process prevents secondary pollution and promotes the sustainable development of the battery industry.

Elevated manganese (Mn) exposure has been implicated in a broad spectrum of neurological disorders, including motor dysfunction and cognitive deficits. Previous studies have demonstrated that Mn induces neurotoxicity by disrupting the integrity of the blood–brain barrier (BBB), a critical regulator in maintaining central nervous system homeostasis and a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of numerous neurological disorders. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying Mn-induced BBB disruption and its role in facilitating neurotoxicity remain incompletely understood. The primary objectives of this study were to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the relationship between Mn exposure and BBB tight junction proteins (TJPs), and to further investigate potential neuroprotective strategies for mitigating Mn-induced cognitive impairments. In this investigation, we developed Mn exposure models utilizing both murine subjects and cell culture systems to elucidate the mechanisms underlying TJPs involvement and to assess the potential neuroprotective effects of gastrodin (GAS), a bioactive compound extracted from traditional Chinese medicine. Our findings revealed a significant reduction in TJPs expression, both in vivo and in vitro , in Mn-induced BBB disruption. The overexpression of Occludin (OCLN), a crucial component of TJPs, mitigated Mn-induced BBB damage. GAS administration effectively attenuated Mn-induced disruption of the BBB, enhanced the expression of TJPs, and mitigated Mn-induced cognitive dysfunctions, potentially through the modulation of the RhoA/ROCK2 signaling pathway. This research sought to advance our understanding of the molecular pathways involved in Mn-mediated BBB disruption and to identify novel therapeutic approaches for mitigating the deleterious effects of Mn exposure on cognitive function.
