Photocatalysis-self-Fenton combining photocatalytic production of H 2 O 2 with Fenton reaction has been a hotspot, but the pH limitation and iron sludge production problems remain unsolved. Herein, we proposed a self-fenton system based on N-doped carbon dots modified ZnIn 2 S 4 (NCDs@ZnIn 2 S 4 ) composites that exhibits effective degradation of antibiotics under neutral pH using low amounts of Fe 2+ . The decoration of ZnIn 2 S 4 with NCDs significantly increased the surface area, visible light absorption, charge transfer ability and oxygen adsorption ability. NCDs@ZnIn 2 S 4 composites exhibited a high H 2 O 2 production rate (1528 μM g −1 •h −1 ) under visible light, which was 1.9 and 5.3 times higher than ZnIn 2 S 4 and NCDs, respectively. Meanwhile, the Fe 2+ /NCDs@ZnIn 2 S 4 system with a low concentration of Fe 2+ (1 mg/L) could remove over 95% levofloxacin and oxytetracycline within 30 min. Interestingly, the highest degradation efficiency occurred under neutral pH. Quenching experiments and analytical measurements indicated that the high catalytic performance under pH = 7 with low amounts of Fe 2+ stemmed from the higher amount of inner-generate H 2 O 2 under neutral pH and easy regeneration of Fe 2+ by photoinduced electrons for high •OH yields. Additionally, the Fe 2+ /NCDs@ZnIn 2 S 4 system exhibited high degradation performance under different water matrix and ultrahigh degradation efficiency towards levofloxacin under real sunlight irradiation. The work shows the prospects of photocatalysis-self-Fenton systems for overcoming the pH limitation and the difficulty of iron sludge separation in the purification of effluents.

A facile and energy-efficient synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA complex and its application as adsorbent for removal of Cu 2+ from aqueous solution were investigated. Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA was synthesized by mixing Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 and HEMA monomer and then initiating the polymerization of HEMA monomer by H 2 O 2 under Fe 2+ catalyzing at room temperature . As adsorbent, the maximum sorption capacity of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA for Cu 2+ was calculated to be 20.7 mg/g at pH 6.0. And the efficient enrichment of Cu 2+ on Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA depended on its multiple carbonyl groups and the electrostatic interaction between carboxyl groups and Cu 2+ . The carboxyl groups were from slow hydrolysis of partial ester bonds of PHEMA under acidic conditions. The possible hydrolysis process of ester bonds was facilitated to avoid sorption capacity of Cu 2+ decreasing caused by other ions sorption (like Fe 2+ ) during the synthesis of the adsorbent. The adsorption of Cu 2+ on Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA coincided with Langmuir model. The Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA had good dispersity in water and it could be easily collected from wastewaters by a magnet. The results showed that Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA was a promising adsorbent in wastewater treatment.

The inhibition of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) on the cysteine-mediated aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has great potential to rapidly visualize H 2 O 2 and disease-associated biomarkers. However, associated applications have been rigid due to the low cysteine-oxidation efficiency or the insufficient interference-resistance of previous catalysts. Here, we proposed a novel AuNPs colorimetric method termed Fe 2+ -catalyzed H 2 O 2 -preventing aggregation of AuNPs by oxidizing Cysteine (FeHOAuC) for the visible and rapid detection of H 2 O 2 with high specificity. Formed Fe 2+ -cysteine composites in the beginning, Fe 2+ accelerates the oxidation of cysteine by H 2 O 2 with an intramolecular electron-transferring model, and the generated cysteine oxides (including cysteic acid or cystine , dependent on the ratio of cysteine to H 2 O 2 molecules) lose the pro-aggregation effect on AuNPs. Notably, FeHOAuC can quantify 2–30 μM of H 2 O 2 within 5 min, and the monitoring process works well with tolerance to the impact of dissolved oxygen. The FeHOAuC paired with lactate oxidase was successfully used for measuring lactic acids in real sweat samples with a practicable detection window (2–60 μM) and a low variable coefficient (<10%). In summary, FeHOAuC is a feasible platform for rapid and convenient detection of H 2 O 2 and oxidase-specific substrates.

Smart theragnostic nanoplatforms exhibit great promise in clinical tumor treatment. The Fe-based Fenton reaction in tumor sites may generate reactive oxygen species to kill cancer cells with negligible side effects on normal tissues. However, its efficiency and duration are limited by the low intracellular concentration of H 2 O 2 , weak acidicity of tumor tissue, and low catalytic activity of conventional Fenton reagents. Herein, a facile strategy is proposed to efficiently overcome these obstacles. An efficient enzymatic/Fenton-starvation nanoreactor PMs loaded with glucose oxidase and perfluoropentane (PGPMs) is constructed through synthesizing methoxy-PEG-carboxymethy-modified iron (Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ )-based metal–organic frameworks (PMs), followed by loading glucose oxidase (GOx) and perfluoropentane (PFP). PGPMs accumulating in the tumor tissue exhibit tumor microenvironment-responsive biodegradable behavior and unusual catalytic activity for Fenton reaction advantageous over Fe 3+ -based MOFs. Meanwhile, encapsulation of GOx into PGPMs further significantly increases the catalytic activity for Fenton reaction and also induces starvation therapy. PGPMs also exhibit considerable capabilities of ultrasound and tumor microenvironment-responsive T2 MR imaging applicable for contrast-enhanced diagnosis. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate the great diagnostic and therapeutic potentials of this nanoreactor in tumor.

Intracellular amplification of oxidative stress has been proved to be an effective strategy to induce cancer cell death and the Fenton reaction was regarded as a robust way to generate ROS which are the main cause of amplified oxidative stress. However, current Fenton reaction-inducing agents lacked stability in the bio-environment and failed to exert their ideal catalytic performance. We, hereby, designed an Fe2+-based metal–organic framework (MOF) to deliver Fe2+ to cancer cells to trigger the Fenton reaction and produce excessive ROS. The obtained nano-scale MOF that was constructed by ferrous acetate and organic ligands (BDC-NH2) endowed itself with excellent stability in bio-media and pH responsively degraded itself to release Fe2+ in the acid tumor microenvironment. Such a characteristic demonstrated robust capacity to catalyze the Fenton reaction and produce considerable ROS and thus induced distinct Fe2+-mediated cell ferroptosis. Meanwhile, directly exploiting an Fe2+-based MOF to inhibit and kill cancer cells circumvented the potential adverse effects of loading drugs (like the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin, and the nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity of cisplatin) and proved to be biocompatible in in vivo experiments. More importantly, observations of the in vivo antitumor experiment attested its impressive inhibition on cancer cells and amelioration on the physical health of treated mice. Our study thus presented a novel and biocompatible ferroptosis strategy to be applied in effective clinical cancer therapy.

Here, we present a first investigation of the inhibition mechanism of surfactant Triton X-100 (TX-100) on the oxidation degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in site soil aggregates using sodium citrate assisted Fe 2+ -activated persulfate (SC/Fe 2+ /PS). First, TX-100 was not only competed the adsorption sites of soil aggregates with PS, but also consumed PS, which inhibit the PAHs remediation rate in the TX-100 elution followed by the SC/Fe 2+ /PS oxidation system from 55.6% in the oxidation system to 50.3%. Furthermore, in the oxidation followed by elution system, PAHs was adsorbed on the iron minerals produced during the oxidation, which would be form a bound PAHs that was difficult to react with PS, and then re-eluted to the soil by the TX-100. Additionally, it was found that the oxidative and the elution efficiency of PAHs exhibited negative correlations with aggregate particle sizes. Finally, soil microorganism communities were more strongly changed by SC/Fe 2+ /PS oxidation and PAHs concentration than that of TX-100 elution, with obvious alterations bacteria than fungi, the effects of SC/Fe 2+ /PS and PAHs concentration on microorganism communities were opposite. This study provided a proof of regulating mechanisms for the site soil remediation using surfactants combined with the iron-PS system. Environmental Implications Surfactants may have inhibitory effects in advanced oxidative systems on the removal of PAHs and may alter soil microorganism diversity. It is necessary to comprehensively analyze the intrinsic regulatory mechanisms, and the correlation between the remediation process and soil microbial community structure of surfactants affecting the remediation efficiency of PAHs in site soil aggregates. This work comprehensively discussed the controlling mechanisms of surfactants affect the oxidation remediation of PAHs in the site soil and providing new insights for the design of the remediation technologies for the soil polluted with PAHs in the future.

In this study, a facile synthesis of two ionized carbon dots (CDs-2 and CDs-3) is reported, in which different ionic pairs are formed at the surface of the carbon core. In contrast to CDs-3, the accumulation of carbon core can be clearly observed in the TEM image of CDs-2. This is due to the linkage of the dibromine alkyl group. Compared with naked CDs in the absence of the ionic pair, the maximum emission wavelength undergoes a red-shift of nearly 60 nm. Moreover, protic solvents (water, ethanol and N,N′-dimethyl formamide) have an apparent effect on the emission intensities of CDs-2 and CDs-3. The time-resolved average lifetimes of CDs-2 and CDs-3 are calculated as 56.34 ns and 54.50 ns, respectively. Furthermore, they both have much better fluorescence stability in the solution with pH ranging from 2 to 11 due to the presence of the imidazolium cation. It is interesting to see that CDs-2 and CDs-3 have much different responses towards Cu2+ and Fe2+. The CDs-3 solution generates clear fluorescence quenching when treated with Fe2+. In brief, we believe that these findings can inspire more research developments in the synthesis and further application of functional CDs.

In this study, Fe 2+ :ZnSe x S 1-x (0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solution laser ceramics with cubic crystal structures were prepared for the first time via hot pressing sintering, using FeSe, ZnSe, and ZnS powders. The resulting ceramics exhibit a unique combination of the optical and physical properties of Fe 2+ :ZnSe and Fe 2+ :ZnS. An increase in the ZnS content led to a blueshift in the maximum absorption spectra of Fe 2+ ions and an enhancement in Vickers hardness. These findings suggest that Fe 2+ :ZnSe x S 1-x solid solution ceramics could serve as promising gain media for mid-infrared solid-state lasers, offering a novel approach for the development of directly pumped mid-infrared laser systems.

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.

4-Phenyl-2-(2′-pyridyl) quinoline ( L1 ) was synthesized by a three-component reaction of aniline, phenylacetylene and pyridine-2-aldehyde catalyzed by trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH). Its structure was confirmed by FT-IR, MS, NMR and X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. L1 was investigated as a probe for the detection of Fe 3+ and Fe 2+ ions, which displayed fluorescence enhancement by Fe 3+ and fluorescence quenching by Fe 2+ . This unique fluorescence switching property of L1 was used to identify Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ with high selectivity and sensitivity. The detection limit of Fe 2+ was 8.772 × 10 −9 mol/L and that of Fe 3+ was 1.912 × 10 −9 mol/L. Mechanism investigation revealed that the fluorescence quenching of probe L1 was caused by ferrous-induced PET process and the fluorescence enhancement was due to the combinational effect of ferric-induced PCT enhancement and PET inhibition. In addition, the cyclic voltammetry curves demonstrated that both the Fe 2+ complexes and the Fe 3+ complexes displayed reversible redox process, indicating that the Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ complexes can be reversibly converted into each other upon electrical stimulation. The reversible “On” and “Off” of the fluorescence emission of iron complexes upon electrochemical stimulation could potentially be used in information recording and erasing.

Fenton/photo-Fenton reaction was limited by slow Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ cycle, low H 2 O 2 activation efficiency, and narrow applicable pH range. Here, Fe atoms doped MoS 2 (Fe–MoS 2 ) with abundant of low-valence Mo δ+ (0 < δ < 4) was prepared. Benefiting from the powerful reduction capacity of Mo δ+ , the rate-limiting step of Fe 3+ reduction was significantly accelerated. Nearly 100% of H 2 O 2 utilization efficiency was realized. Importantly, 90% of H 2 O 2 was effectively activated to be • OH. As a result, tetracycline degradation rate in photo-Fenton reaction catalyzed by Fe–MoS 2 was 5.8 and 4.2 times higher than those of MoS 2 and Fe–MoS 2 -Hyd (prepared by hydrothermal reaction). In comparison with MoS 2 and Fe–MoS 2 -Hyd whose efficient work range were limited in acidic condition, Fe–MoS 2 was a pH-universal catalyst (pH = 2.6–14.0) by taking advantage of the exposed Mo δ+ and photoinduced electrons, largely improving the environmental tolerance. This work simultaneously addressed three bottlenecks in Fenton/photo-Fenton reaction, and provided a new strategy for the preparation of catalysts with powerful catalytic performance and high environmental adaptability.

Ferrous ion (Fe2+) is an important component of hemoglobin and plays a role in transporting O2 to human tissues. If iron deficiency is present, iron deficiency anemia may occur, so it is critical to develop sensitive and accurate methods to detect Fe2+. Herein, a novel luminescence energy transfer (ET) system has been designed for the sensitive detection of Fe2+ by a single-particle enumeration (SPE) method in the near-infrared (NIR) region through combining NIR-to-NIR β-NaGdF4:Yb,Tm@NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and IR-808 dye. IR-808 dye can quench the luminescence of the UCNPs because of the efficient overlap between the absorption spectrum of IR-808 and the emission spectrum of the UCNPs. When Fe2+ and H2O2 are added to the system, the Fenton reaction produces hydroxyl radicals (˙OH). The generated ˙OH reacts with IR-808 and the structure of IR-808 is destroyed. As a result, the ET process is suppressed, causing recovery of the luminescence of the UCNPs, which is reflected as an increase in the number of luminescent particles. Accurate quantification of Fe2+ is achieved by statistically counting the target concentration-dependent luminescent particles. Under the optimal conditions, the linear detection range of Fe2+ is 5–10 000 nM, which is much wider than the ensemble luminescence spectra measurements in bulk solution. Moreover, this strategy can be applied to detection in serum samples with satisfactory results.
