In order to investigate the modification of the surface structure of FePS via Ga ion irradiation, we study the effect of thickness and Raman spectrum of multilayer FePS irradiated for 0 μs, 30 μs, and 40 μs, respectively. The results demonstrate that the intensity ratio of characteristic Raman peaks are obviously related to the thickness of FePS. After Ga ion irradiation, the FePS sample gradually became thinner and the E peak and Eg(v) peak in the Raman spectrum disappeared and the peak intensity ratio of A(v) with respect to A(v) weakened. This trend becomes more apparent while increasing irradiation time. The phenomenon is attributed to the damage of bipyramid structure of [PS] units and the cleavage of the P-P bands and the P-S bands during Ga ion irradiation. The results are of great significance for improving the two-dimensional characteristics of FePS by Ga ion beam, including structural and optical properties, which pave the way of surface engineering to improve the performance of various two-dimensional layered materials via ion beam irradiation.

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) exhibit significant potential for water disinfection due to their generation of large quantities of highly oxidizing free radicals. However, the neglect of viable but nonculturable (VBNC) cells obscures their true disinfection efficacy and potential environmental health risks. Therefore, the study evaluated the disinfection effectiveness and mechanisms of typical AOPs, including Fe/HO, Fe/persulfate (PS), and O, from the perspective of the production of VBNC bacteria.

Manipulating two-dimensional (2D) magnetism in layered van der Waals (vdW) materials like FePS (FPS), with its wide-ranging applications in flexible spintronic devices, poses a persistent challenge. Through first-principles calculations, we have achieved reversible ferrimagnetic (FiM, FePS bilayer) ↔ antiferromagnetic (AFM, 1Li-intercalated FePS bilayer) ↔ ferromagnetic (FM, 2Li-intercalated FePS bilayer) phase transitions by using a Li-ion intercalation method. Intercalated Li ions significantly enhance the Fe-3d and S-3p hybridization and reduce the Fe-Fe, Li-Fe, Li-S, and Li-P bond lengths.

Advances in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are intricately connected with addressing the current energy crisis and quest for sustainable energy sources. The necessity of catalysts that are efficient and inexpensive to perform the hydrogen evolution reaction is key to this. Following the ground-breaking discovery of graphene, metal thio/seleno phosphates (MPX: M - transition metal, P - phosphorus and X - S/Se), two dimensional (2D) materials, exhibit excellent tunable physicochemical, electronic and optical properties, and are expected to be key to the energy industry for years to come.

The anaerobic co-fermentation of iron bound phosphorus (P) compounds (FePs)-bearing sludge with corn gluten meal (CGM) and the underlying mechanisms associated with P release and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production were investigated. The optimal CGM dosage for P release was 0.6 g chemical oxygen demand (COD)/g total suspended solid (TSS), which resulted in an increase in efficiency from 7 % (control sample) to 39 %.
