Article Abstract
Owing to low cost and high efficiency, nonprecious metal catalysts have been widely used in various types of fuel cells. To obtain a high-activity electrocatalyst, a simple method for the synthesis of iron-modified covalent triazine frameworks by the direct heating of a mixture of FeCl, ZnCl, ZnO, and -phthalodinitrile is reported. The role and a possible evolution pathway of the oxygen of metallic oxides are well discussed. To further verify our assumption, the FeO microspherical nanomaterials were synthesized and the relative Fe-based catalyst (Fe-N/C) was successfully obtained by the ionothermal polymerization method. Fe-N/C exhibits an extraordinary oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance in acidic solution, with a half-wave potential of only 25 mV negative shifts compared with Pt/C, while the power density is approximately 56% of that of Pt/C catalysts under the proton exchange membrane fuel cell testing condition. This work represents a new strategy to synthesize high-performance Fe-based catalysts toward ORR.

Unlabelled: Hazardous heavy metals, particularly cadmium (Cd), are widely distributed in the environment and cause oxidative stress in various animal and human organs. Clove oil (CLO), a common aromatic spice, has been used as a traditional medication as it has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective properties.
Background/objectives: This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and anti-inflammatory effects of clove oil (CLO) against hepatorenal toxicity induced by cadmium (Cd).

Fluorescent iron nanoclusters are emerging fluorescent nanomaterials. Herein, we synthesized hemoglobin-coated iron nanoclusters (Hb-Fe NCs) with a significant fluorescence emission peak at 615 nm and investigated the inner-filter effect of fluorescence induced by a manganese dioxide nanosheet (MnO NS). The fluorescence quenching of Hb-Fe NCs by a MnO NS can be significantly reversed by the addition of ascorbic acid.

Mixed-metal nickel-iron, NiFe materials draw attention as affordable earth-abundant electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here, nickel and mixed-metal nickel-iron metal-organic framework (MOF) composites with the carbon materials ketjenblack (KB) or carbon nanotubes (CNT) were synthesized in situ in a one-pot solvothermal reaction. As a direct comparison to these in situ synthesized composites, the neat MOFs were postsynthetically mixed by grinding with KB or CNT, to generate physical mixture composites.

Toxic materials are a threat in workplaces and the environment, as well as households. In them, gaseous substances are included, especially ones without any colour or fragrance, due to their non-detectability with the human senses. In this article, an attempt was made to find a solution for its detection in various conditions with the use of intelligent textiles.

The use of reduction leaching in the production of alumina from bauxite by the Bayer process in order to decrease the amount of waste (bauxite residue) by adding elemental iron or aluminum, as well as Fe salts and organic compounds in the stage of high-pressure leaching, requires the purchase of relatively expensive reagents in large quantities. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of the use of electrolytically reduced bauxite residue (BR) as a substitute for these reagents. Reduced BR was obtained from Al-goethite containing BR using a bulk cathode in alkaline suspension.
