To achieve the purpose of treating waste by waste, in this study, a nitrogen-doped Fe/Mn bimetallic biochar material (FeMn@N-BC) was prepared from chicken manure for persulfate activation to degrade Bisphenol A (BPA). The FeMn@N-BC was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffract meter (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) and found that N doping can form larger specific surface area. Catalytic degradation experiments showed that Fe/Mn bimetal doping not only accelerated the electron cycling rate on the catalyst surface, but also makes the biochar magnetic and easy to separate, thus reducing environmental pollution. Comparative experiments was concluded that the highest degradation efficiency of BPA was achieved when the mass ratios of urea and chicken manure, Fe/Mn were 3:1 and 2:1, respectively, and the pyrolysis temperature was 800 °C, which can almost degrade all the BPA in 60 min. FeMn@N-BC/PS system with high catalytic efficiency and low consumables is promising for reuse of waste resources and the remediation of wastewater.

The issues of polysulfide shuttling and lethargic sulfur redox reaction (SROR) kinetics are the toughest obstacles of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery. Herein, integrating the merits of increased density of metal sites and synergistic catalytic effect, a unique single-atom catalyst (SAC) with nonmetallic-bonding Fe-Mn diatomic pairs anchored on hollow nitrogen-doped carbonaceous nanodisk (denoted as FeMnDA@NC) is successfully constructed and well characterized by aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, etc. Density functional theory calculation indicates that the Fe-Mn diatomic pairs can effectively inhibit the shuttle effect by enhancing the adsorption ability retarding the polysulfide migration and accelerate the SROR kinetics.

As a recycling use of waste activated sludge (WAS), we used high-temperature pyrolysis of WAS to support bimetallic Fe-Mn with nitrogen (N) co-doping (FeMn@N-S), a customized composite catalyst that activates peroxysulphate (PS) for the breakdown of tetracycline (TC). First, the performance of TC degradation was evaluated and optimized under different N doping, pH, catalyst dosages, PS dosages, and contaminant concentrations. Activating PS with FeMn@N-S caused the degradation of 91% of the TC in 120 min.

In this work, sulfur/nitrogen modified reduced graphene oxide (S/N-rGO) was employed as both electron shuttle and support to fabricate Fe-Mn bimetallic organic framework@S/N-rGO hybrids (BOF@S/N-rGO) via a facile two-step solvothermal route. Compared with the transition metal ions (Fe/Mn), the classical metal oxide catalyst (FeO and FeO) and nano zero-valent iron (nZVI), BOF@S/N-rGO catalyst can more effectively activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) with ultra-low concentration (0.05 mM) to degrade sulfamethazine (SMT).

In the development of water splitting, the sluggish electrocatalytic kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) have restricted their energy conversion efficiencies. Along with the continuous rise in the prices of noble metals and transition metals (such as cobalt and nickel), constructing high-efficiency HER/OER catalysts based on low cost transition metals, such as iron and manganese, is becoming more meaningful in developing industrialized water splitting devices. In this paper, in the absence of a template or active agent, three-dimensional, hierarchically porous FeMn nanoparticles (NPs) were embedded and nitrogen-doped carbon materials (denoted as FeMn@NC; x:y, representing the molar ratio of Fe:Mn) were successfully prepared via pyrolysis of corresponding precursors containing different metallic salt components.
