Cadmium (Cd) contamination in aquatic systems is a widespread environmental issue. In this study, a solid waste iron tailings and biochar hybrid (Fe-TWBC) was successfully synthesized derived from co-pyrolysis of peanut shell and tailing waste (Fe-TW). Characterization analyses showed that the metal oxides from solid waste iron tailings successfully loaded onto the biochar surface, with more functional groups in Fe-TWBC.

The rational design of advanced oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts is essential to improve the performance of energy conversion devices. However, it remains a huge challenge to construct hierarchical micro-/meso-/macroporous nanostructures, especially mesoporous transport channels in catalysts, to enhance catalytic capability. Herein, motivated by the characteristics of energetic metal-organic frameworks (EMOFs) that produce an abundance of gases during high-temperature pyrolysis, we prepared a unique tetrazine-based EMOF-derived electrocatalyst (denoted as FeC@NSC-900) consisting of highly dispersed FeC nanoparticles and N,S-codoped mesoporous carbon nanotubes.
