Nanoscale zero valent iron (ZVI)/graphene (GF) composite was prepared and characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurement and zeta potential determination. The adsorption isotherm of Co(II) in aqueous solution, as well as the influence of pH values and ionic strengths was studied. The mechanism of Co(II) adsorption by GF was investigated through analyzing the sorption products at initial pH of 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 using high-resolution transmission electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray detector (HRTEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM), Raman spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurement. The results indicated that Langmuir isotherm model fitted well and the adsorption capacity was 131.58 mg g(-1) at 30°C. Adsorption capacity was not significantly influenced by ionic strength and kept high at pH 4.0∼9.0. The detail information of GF-Co interaction at different initial pH values was obtained using XAFS analysis combined with other characterization methods. Coordination numbers (CN) and interatomic distances (R) of both Fe and Co were given. At pH 3.0 and pH 6.0, the Co-substituted iron oxides transformed to CoFe2O4-like structure, while at pH 9.0 they changed to green rust-like phases. Co occupied preferentially in the octahedral sites in acid solution. The adsorption mechanism of Co(II) was attributed to inner-sphere complexation and dissolution/re-precipitation of the substituted metal oxides.

The development of robust, efficient, and cost-effective heterogeneous photocatalysts for visible light-driven CO2 reduction continues to be a significant challenge in the quest for sustainable energy solutions. As a result, increasing attention is being directed towards the exploration of high-performance photocatalysts capable of converting CO2 into chemical feedstocks. Imidazolate Frameworks Potsdam (IFPs) can be a promising candidate for CO2 photoreduction due to their ease of synthesis, use of low-cost, earth-abundant metals, and high chemical and thermal stability.

The heme paradigm where Fe=O acts as the C-H oxidant and Fe-OH rebounds with the formed carbon-centered radical guides the design of the prototypical synthetic hydroxylation catalyst. We are exploring methods to evolve beyond the metal-oxo oxidant and hydroxide rebound, to incorporate a wider array of functional group. We have demonstrated the application of CoII(OTf)2 (10 mol% catalyst; OTf = trimfluoromethanesulfonate) in combination with polydentate N-donor ligands (e.

Article Synopsis
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that leads to joint inflammation and bone damage, and high humidity conditions may worsen its symptoms, though the reasons are not fully understood.
- In a study using a mouse model, researchers investigated how elevated humidity (80%) affects splenic cell types and arthritis severity compared to normal humidity (50%).
- Results showed that high humidity led to increased arthritis symptoms, elevated levels of inflammatory markers, and changes in immune cells (MDSCs) and oxidative stress indicators, suggesting humidity might play a significant role in aggravating RA progression.

This research utilized tetraethylenepentamine-functionalized HY cubic zeolite as an adsorbent to effectively remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent was characterized using FT-IR, XRD, TGA, FE-SEM, and EDS-MAP techniques. The synthesis aimed to optimize and evaluate the removal efficiency of Pb(II), Cr(III), Co(II), and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions by investigating key parameters, including initial pH, concentration, adsorbent dosage, and contact time.

Article Synopsis
- Accurate prediction of spin-state energetics for transition metal complexes is crucial for understanding catalytic mechanisms and discovering new materials, but existing methods are often unreliable due to their strong dependency on the computational approach.
- A new benchmark set of spin-state energetics was created from experimental data of 17 transition metal complexes (Fe, Co, Mn, Ni), which helps establish reference values for comparing computational methods like DFT and coupled-cluster theories.
- The study found that the coupled-cluster CCSD(T) method is the most accurate, outperforming multireference methods, while certain double-hybrid DFT methods also showed promising results compared to commonly recommended DFT approaches that performed significantly worse.
