This study investigates the effects of Fe and Fe/Ni nanoparticles on biological denitrification when using Paracoccus sp. strain YF1. Results show that adding Fe and Fe/Ni nanoparticles to the cells decreased their growth and denitrification rate. Compared to that of free cells (control 89.47%), a decrease (64.33%) in the presence of 1000 mg/L Fe/Ni nanoparticles was observed, while a small decline in the denitrification rate (76.36%) was obtained when the concentration of Fe nanoparticles was 1000 mg/L. These were further confirmed by adding Fe(2+), Fe(3+), Fe3O4, Fe(2+)/Ni(2+) and Fe(3+)/Ni(2+) individually to the free cell system. Furthermore, Fe and Fe/Ni nanoparticles influenced the nitrate removal and bacterial growth under different pH and temperature conditions. SEM, XRD and EDS demonstrated that iron oxides formed as a result of nanoparticles corrosion in biological medium. Finally the presence of nanoparticles around some bacteria was observed.

Ni-based catalysts with Co or Fe can potentially replace precious Ir-based catalysts for the rate-limiting oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in anion-exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzers. In this study, density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide atomic- and electronic-level resolution on how the inclusion of Co or Fe can overcome the inactivity of NiO catalysts and even enable them to surpass IrO in activating key steps to the OER. Namely, NiO resists binding the key OH* intermediate and presents a high energetic barrier to forming the O*.

In this work, an efficient sensing platform deoxynivalenol (DON) detection was constructed through monitoring the current change of a competitive mechanism triggered by DON, leading the signal label detached from the electrode surface by square-wave voltammetry using thionine (Thi) as a redox indicator. The complementary strand of aptamer (cDNA) and Thi were loaded onto Fe/Ni bimetallic metal-organic framework loaded with sliver nanoparticles (AgNPs@FeNi-MOF) to construct AgNPs@FeNi-MOF/cDNA/Thi signal probes. In the presence of DON, the aptamer sequence was more predisposed to form an aptamer-DON complex, resulting in the displacement of the cDNA.

Conventional inorganic semiconductors are not suitable for acting as nanozymes or sonosensitizers for therapeutic nanomedicine owing to the lack of excellent biocompatibility. Biocompatible carbon dots (CDs) exhibit a variety of biological activities due to their adjustable size and surface chemical modification; however, the simultaneous sonodynamic activity and multiple enzyme-mimicking catalytic activity of a single CD have not been reported. Herein, we report the development of bimetallic doped CDs as a high-efficiency nanozyme and sonosensitizer for enhanced sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and nanocatalytic therapy (NCT).

Pt-based nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used in catalysis. However, this suffers from aggregation and/or sintering at working conditions. We demonstrate a robust strategy for stabilizing PtCo NPs under high temperature with strong interaction between M-N-C and PtCo NPs with Pt-M-N coordination, namely, "atom glue.

Designing a highly efficient, low-cost, sustainable electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) through water splitting is a current challenge for renewable energy technologies. This work presents a modified sol-gel route to prepare metal-ion(s) doped cerium oxide nanostructures as an efficient electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. Nickle (Ni) and iron (Fe) co-doping impacts the morphology in cerium oxide resulting in 5 nm nanoparticles with a mesoporous-like microstructure.
