Designing iron-based catalysts for Fenton-like reactions with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) as oxidants have attracted growing attentions. Herein, pyrite FeS supported on carbon spheres (FeS@C) is synthesized by a facile low-temperature method. The FeS@C/PMS system can degrade carbamazepine (CBZ) effectively in a wide pH range.

Article Synopsis
  • A new CoSe@NC material with selenium vacancies is created from a cobaltic metal organic framework (Co-MOF) using a carbonization-selenization process.
  • This CoSe@NC exhibits a special electronic structure and active sites, allowing it to effectively activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for degrading carbamazepine (CBZ) with high performance and stability.
  • Research shows that the presence of selenium vacancies enhances the material's catalytic activity by optimizing the electron cloud density of Co atoms, leading to better PMS adsorption and transition metal reactions.

Background: Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) are beneficial microorganisms in soil-plant interactions; however, the underlying mechanisms regarding their roles in legumes environmental stress remain elusive. Present trials were undertaken to study the effect of AMF on the ameliorating of salt, drought, and cold stress in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) plants.
