Article Abstract

Here, we report that black photothermal materials elevate solar heating temperatures across high solar absorption and low infrared radiation. FeO nanostructure films can be heated to 350 °C under light irradiation, and this system shows effective visible-light-driven ammonia synthesis production of 3677 μg g h under gas-solid phase catalysis without noble metals.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) presents a serious threat to health, highlighting the urgent need for more effective antimicrobial agents with innovative mechanisms of action. Nanotechnology offers promising solutions by enabling the creation of nanoparticles (NPs) with antibacterial properties. This study aimed to explore the antibacterial, anti-biofilm, and anti-virulence effects of eco-friendly synthesized α-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles (α-Fe₂O₃-NPs) against pathogenic bacteria.

The integration of membrane separation with heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes is a prospective strategy for the elimination of contaminants during wastewater treatment. Fe-based catalysts and the green oxidant peracetic acid (PAA) are desirable candidates for the development of catalytic membranes because they are environmentally friendly. However, the construction of catalytic ceramic membranes (CMs) modified with efficient Fe-based catalysts that generate increased amounts of high-valent Fe-O species during PAA activation for the degradation of specific pollutants, especially during instantaneous membrane filtration, remains challenging.

Fe Single-Atom and Fe Cluster-Coupled N, S Co-doped Carbon Nanomaterial-Based Flexible Electrochemical Sweat Biosensor for the Real-Time Analysis of Uric Acid and Tyrosine.

Fe single-atom and Fe cluster-coupled N, S co-doped carbon nanomaterials (Fe-FeO-NSC) were prepared through a two-step high-temperature pyrolysis process using Gelidium corneum enriched with C, Fe, O, N, and S as precursors. The analysis by aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed the presence of single-atom Fe in Fe-N coordination structures, along with small clusters as Fe-O-coordinated FeO. Single-atom Fe in the form of Fe/Fe provides more electrocatalytic active sites, which synergistically accelerates the charge migration process in the assembly of Fe-FeO-NSC with FeO clusters.

Vacancy-Activated Surface Reconstruction of Perovskite Nanofibers for Efficient Lattice Oxygen Evolution.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

School of Minerals Processing and Bioengineering, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan 410083, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on enhancing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in perovskites by inducing surface reconstruction through trace Ce-doped LaCeNiFeO nanofibers (LCNF-NFs), which improves their catalytic activity.* -
  • High oxygen vacancies in the LCNF-NFs lower the reconstruction potential and increase electrolyte access, leading to significant generation of self-reconstructed electroactive Ni/FeO(OH) species on the surface.* -
  • The restructured LCNF-NFs demonstrated superior performance with a lower Tafel slope of 50.12 mV dec and a reduced overpotential of 342.3 mV, making them highly efficient compared to conventional electrocatalysts.*
