During chemical looping combustion (CLC) and chemical looping gasification (CLG) of coal, the release, migration, and speciation of mercury in coal are significantly influenced by oxygen-carrier materials; however, the underlying mechanism remains inadequately addressed. In this work, the effect of a typical iron-based oxygen carrier on the release behavior of mercury from a bituminous coal and a lignite was investigated based on the Ontario-Hydro method. It is found that the effect of the iron-based oxygen carrier is attributed to three aspects: the enhanced release rate of mercury from coal, the adsorption of the released mercury, and the oxidization of gaseous Hg into Hg. With the increasing temperature, the adsorbance of mercury by the iron-based oxygen carrier decreases, while the oxidation of mercury enhances. Even at 900 °C, the adsorbance of mercury by the oxygen carrier remained at 0.1687 g/g, with a relative content of Hg at 22.55%. Additionally, it was observed that iron-based oxygen carriers can physically absorb both Hg and Hg, while chemisorption refers to complex-compound formation between the iron-based oxygen carrier and mercury.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated predominantly during cellular respiration and play a significant role in signaling within the cell and between cells. However, excessive accumulation of ROS can lead to cellular dysfunction, disease progression, and apoptosis that can lead to organ dysfunction. To overcome the short half-life of ROS and the relatively small amount produced, various imaging methods have been developed, using both endogenous and exogenous means to monitor ROS in disease settings.

Nickel-iron-based catalysts are recognized for their high efficiency in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under alkaline conditions, yet the underlying mechanisms that drive their superior performance remain unclear. Herein, we revealed the molecular OER mechanism and the structure-intermediate-performance relationship of OER on a phosphorus-doped nickel-iron nanocatalyst (NiFeP). NiFeP exhibited exceptional activity and stability with an overpotential of only 210 mV at 10 mA cm in 1 M KOH and a cell voltage of 1.

As the energy industries, such as secondary batteries and fuel cells, expand rapidly, the demand for transition metals used as electrode materials is increasing, which has led to a rise in their prices. One promising strategy to address these challenges is upcycling, which involves recycling transition metal-based waste from various industries. In this study, a heterostructure electrocatalyst for anion exchange membrane water electrolysis is developed by upcycling iron-based waste from the automotive industry.

Iron-based materials have demonstrated significant efficacy in catalyzing hydrogen peroxide (HO) for the removal of antibiotics from aquatic environments. Green rust (GR), a hybrid valence state iron-based catalyst, was synthesized. By exploiting the catalytic properties of glucose oxidase (GOx) to generate HO from glucose (Glu), a GR-GOx/Glu system for the removal of recalcitrant organic compound 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) was constructed.

The potential of iron-based therapeutic agents in enhancing radiotherapy efficacy through catalyzing the Fenton reaction has garnered widespread interest. The inherent instability of ferrous ions requires the use of complex ligands for the ligand-dependent reduction from Fe to Fe, thereby boosting ferroptosis through inducing the Fenton reaction. However, the reliance on complex redox systems and potential long-term toxicity have seriously limited the clinical application in cancer treatment.
