Real-time monitoring of hypochlorous acid (HClO) in biological systems is of great significance for exploring and regulating its pathological functions because abnormal production of HClO is closely related with many diseases, such as atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. Herein, we developed a reliable fluorescent Fe-doped carbon dots (Fe-CDs) for the sensitive and selective detection of biological HClO using ferrocenecarboxylic acid and m-phenylenediamine as precursors through a one-step solvothermal procedure. The Fe-CDs exhibited excellent a wide HClO detection range from 20 nmol/L to 1000 nmol/L with corresponding limits of detection at 7.8 nmol/L. The sensing mechanism is based on the chemical oxidation of the hydroxyl groups on the surface of Fe-CDs by HClO. In addition, Fe-CDs also displayed high photoluminescence yield, excitation-independence emission, as well as good biocompatibility, enabling the successful imaging of endogenous and exogenous HClO in HeLa cells. These results revealed that Fe-CDs holds great promise as a robust fluorescent probe for investigating HClO-mediated biological events.

It is of great significance for the development of hydrogen energy technology by exploring the new-type and high-efficiency electrocatalysts (such as single atom catalysts (SACs)) for water splitting. In this paper, by combining interface engineering and doping engineering, a unique single atom iron (Fe)-doped carbon-coated nickel sulfide (NiS) quantum wires (NiS@Fe-SACs) is prepared as a high-performance bi-functional electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Theoretical calculation and experimental results show that the addition of atomic Fe species can effectively adjust the electronic structure of sulfide, the interfacial electron transfer modulates the d-band center position, optimizing the transient state of the catalytic process and adsorption energy of hydrogen/oxygen intermediates, and greatly accelerates the kinetics of HER and OER.

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on peracetic acid (PAA) offer a promising strategy to address antibiotic wastewater pollution. In this study, Fe-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) nanomaterials were used to construct Fe-N sites, and the electronic structure was tuned by boron nitride quantum dots (BNQDs), thereby optimizing PAA activation for the degradation of antibiotics. The BNQDs-modified Fe-doped g-CN catalyst (BNQDs-FCN) achieved an excellent reaction rate constant of 0.

This study explores the controlled, continuous production of thin carbon rods between graphite electrodes (continued electrode deposits) during an arc discharge of high voltage alternating current with a frequency of 50 Hz in liquid paraffin, along with in situ doping of the resulting material using a suspension of liquid paraffin and iron powder ( <10 μm). The surface morphology of the obtained carbon rod nanomaterials was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with EDX chemical composition analysis, X-ray microtomography (micro-CT), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The AFM technique in scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) and conductive probe (CP) modes was employed to determine the temperature and electrical conductivity of the obtained nanostructures.
