Abstract
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have drawn attention among renewable energy devices. High capital cost, poor durability, and slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics are the major hindrances in the commercialization of the technology. In this work, an environmentally benign approach is followed to synthesize a composite of magnesium cobaltite (MgCo2O4) embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon to optimize the performance of MFCs. Detailed characterization confirms the formation of MgCo2O4 nanostructures in the catalyst treated at 700 °C. Electrochemical studies suggest the superior performance of the MgCo2O4/NC-700 catalyst with a peak reduction current of -0.068 mA and a charge transfer resistance (Rct) of 40.5 Ω. The performance of the air cathodes is evaluated using activated sludge as inoculum in the anode chamber in single-chamber MFCs. The power output of MFC with MgCo2O4/NC-700 as an air cathode reaching 873.81 mW m-2 is 59.56 and 216.05% higher than those of MFCs with Pt/C (547.65 mW m-2) and Co/NC-700 (276.48 mW m-2) cathodes, respectively. These findings suggest that substituting magnesium in transition metal-nitrogen-carbon composites could help realize long-term application as air cathodes for power generation and wastewater treatment in MFCs.

Abstract
This paper reports the synthetic route of 3-D network shape α-Fe2O3 from aqueous solutions of iron precursor using a non-ionic polymeric soft-template, Pluronic P123. During the synthesis of α-Fe2O3, particle sizes, crystal phases and morphologies were significantly influenced by pH, concentrations of precursor and template. The unique shape of worm-like hematite was obtained only when a starting solution was prepared by a weakly basic pH condition and a very specific composition of constituents. The synthesized nanocrystal at this condition had a narrow pore size distribution and high surface area compared to the bulk α-Fe2O3 or the one synthesized from lower pH conditions. The hydrocracking performance was tested over the synthesized iron oxide catalysts with different morphologies. The worm-like shape of iron oxide showed a superior performance, including overall yield of liquid fuel product and coke formation, over the hydrocracking of heavy petroleum oil.

Abstract
The Fe3O4/FeAl2O4 composite coatings were successfully fabricated on Q235 carbon steel by plasma electrolytic oxidation technique and used to degrade phenol by Fenton-like system. XRD, SEM, and XPS indicated that Fe3O4 and FeAl2O4 composite coating had a hierarchical porous structure. The effects of various parameters such as pH, phenol concentration, and H2O2 dosage on catalytic activity were investigated. The results indicated that with increasing of pH and phenol content, the phenol degradation efficiency was reduced significantly. However, the degradation rate was improved with the addition of H2O2, but dropped with further increasing of H2O2. Moreover, 100 % removal efficiency with 35 mg/L phenol was obtained within 60 min at 303 K and pH 4.0 with 6.0 mmol/L H2O2 on 6-cm(2) iron oxide coating. The degradation process consisted of induction period and rapid degradation period; both of them followed pseudo-first-order reaction. Hydroxyl radicals were the mainly oxidizing species during phenol degradation by using n-butanol as hydroxyl radical scavenger. Based on Fe leaching and the reaction kinetics, a possible phenol degradation mechanism was proposed. The catalyst exhibited excellent stability.
