Iron-based 1D nanostructures have been successfully prepared using an electrospinning technique and varying the pyrolysis atmospheres. Hematite (Fe(2)O(3)) nanotubes and polycrystalline Fe(3)C nanofibers were obtained by simple air or mixed gas (H(2), Ar) annealing treatments. Using the air annealing treatment, a high control of the morphology as well as of the wall thickness of the nanotubes was demonstrated with a direct influence of the starting polymer concentration. When mixed gases (H(2) and Ar) were used for the annealing treatments, for the first time polycrystalline Fe(3)C nanofibers composed of carbon graphitic planes were obtained, ensuring Fe(3)C nanoparticle stability and nanofiber cohesion. The morphology and structural properties of all these iron-based 1D nanostructures were fully characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD and Raman spectroscopy.

Graphene aerogels (GAs) with engineered architectures are a promising material for applications ranging from filtration to energy storage/conversion. However, current preparation approaches involve the combination of multiple intrinsically-different methodologies to achieve graphene-synthesis and architecture-engineering, complicating the entire procedure. Here, a novel approach to prepare GAs with engineered architectures based on the laser-upcycling of protein biowaste, hemoglobin, is introduced.

Article Synopsis
- Arsenic-contaminated groundwater, particularly As(III), poses a global environmental challenge due to its toxicity and difficulty in removal; this study focuses on developing a chloramine-functionalized iron hydroxide cellulose nanofibrous membrane (Fe-CNFM-Cl) to address this issue.* -
- The Fe-CNFM-Cl membrane not only adsorbs As(III) but also oxidizes it to a more removable form, As(V), allowing significant reduction of arsenic levels from 1418.73 μg L to below drinking water standards in about 300 minutes.* -
- This innovative membrane shows a high capacity for arsenic removal across a wide pH range, can recover its functionality after use
Augment of Ferroptosis with Photothermal Enhanced Fenton Reaction and Glutathione Inhibition for Tumor Synergistic Nano-Catalytic Therapy.

Introduction: Ferroptosis-driven tumor ablation strategies based on nanotechnology could be achieved by elevating intracellular iron levels or inhibiting glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity. However, the intracellular antioxidative defense mechanisms endow tumor cells with ferroptosis resistance capacity. The purpose of this study was to develop a synergistic therapeutic platform to enhance the efficacy of ferroptosis-based tumor therapy.
