ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 222:115303. [PMID: 36642126 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 01/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The synthesis of multifunctional cathode with high-efficiency and stable catalytic activity for simultaneously producing and activating H2O2 is an effective way for promoting the performance of heterogeneous electro-Fenton process (HEF). In addition, accelerating mass transfer by adopting a flow-through reactor is also great importance because of its better utilization of catalysts and adequate contact of the contaminant with the oxidants generated on the electrode surface. Herein, a novel flow-through HEF (FHEF) system was designed for the degradation of trimethoprim (TMP) using bifunctional cathode with a sandwich structure FeOCl nanosheets loaded onto carbon cloth (CC) and activated carbon fiber (ACF) (FeOCl/CC/ACF). The cathode exhibited excellent performance in activating H2O2 for the in-situ generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH). The electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements and radical quenching tests proved that the high production of •OH in the FHEF process was favorable to the high catalytic efficiency. 25 mg L-1 TMP was entirely degraded after 60 min, with the TOC removal of 62.6% (180 min) at pH 6.8, 9.0 mA cm-2, and flux rate 210 mL min-1. Moreover, the degradation rate still could reach 83% (60 min) after 10 cycles without obvious valence and crystal phase changes. Simultaneously, the current utilization rate has also been greatly enhanced, with an average current efficiency of 69.9% and a low energy consumption of 0.28 kWh kg-1. The reasonable degradation pathways for TMP were proposed based on the UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS results. Finally, the results of toxicological simulation showed a declining trend in the toxicity of the samples during TMP degradation. These results claim that the FeOCl/CC/ACF-FHEF system is an efficient and economical technology for the treatment of organic contaminants in effluents.

Sb-doped FeOCl nanozyme-based biosensor for highly sensitive colorimetric detection of glutathione. Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:1205-1219. [PMID: 36625896 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-022-04503-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Nanozymes have been emerging as substitutes for natural enzymes to construct biosensors towards biomolecular detection. However, the detection of glutathione (GSH) by nanozyme-based biosensors still remains a great challenge for research on catalytic activity enhancement and the detection mechanism. In this work, Sb-doped iron oxychloride (Sb-FeOCl) with a well-defined nanorod-like structure is prepared by high-temperature calcination. Sb-FeOCl nanorods have high peroxidase-like activity, which can catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 into ·OH and then oxidize 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). In view of these intriguing observations, a reliable colorimetric method with a simple mixing and detection strategy is developed for the detection of GSH. The linear range of GSH detection is 1-36 μM. The detection limit of GSH reaches a low level of 0.495 μM (3σ/slope). The GSH sensing system also exhibits excellent specificity and anti-interference. Taking advantage of the advantages of the Sb-FeOCl nanorod-based biosensor, it can be used to quantitatively detect GSH levels in human serum. It can be anticipated that the Sb-FeOCl nanorods have broad prospects in the field of enzymatic biochemical reactions.

Abstract
2D van der Waals (vdW) transition-metal oxyhalides with low symmetry, novel magnetism, and good stability provide a versatile platform for conducting fundamental research and developing spintronics. Antiferromagnetic FeOCl has attracted significant interest owing to its unique semiconductor properties and relatively high Néel temperature. Herein, good-quality centimeter-scale FeOCl single crystals are controllably synthesized using the universal temperature-oscillation chemical vapor transport (TO-CVT) method. The crystal structure, bandgap, and anisotropic behavior of the 2D FeOCl are explored in detail. The absorption spectrum and electrical measurements reveal that 2D FeOCl is a semiconductor with an optical bandgap of ≈2.1 eV and a resistivity of ≈10-1 Ω m at 295 K, and the bandgap increases with decreasing thickness. Strong in-plane optical and electrical anisotropies are observed in 2D FeOCl flakes, and the maximum resistance anisotropic ratio reaches 2.66 at 295 K. Additionally, the lattice vibration modes are studied through temperature-dependent Raman spectra and first-principles density functional calculations. A significant decrease in the Raman frequencies below the Néel temperature is observed, which results from the strong spin-phonon coupling effect in 2D FeOCl. This study provides a high-quality low-symmetry vdW magnetic candidate for miniaturized spintronics.

Abstract
The removal of gaseous hydrogen sulfide using FeOCl/H2O2 was studied. The effects of the FeOCl dosage, the H2O2 concentration, the reaction temperature, and the gas flow rate on the removal of H2S were investigated. The reaction products were analyzed, and the characterization of FeOCl was carried out by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Furthermore, radical quenching experiments were carried out using butylated hydroxytoluene, isopropanol, and benzoquinone. It was found that the H2S removal rate for a H2S gas concentration of 160 ppm reached 85.6% when bubbling through 100 mL of an aqueous solution containing FeOCl (1 g/L) and H2O2 (0.33 mol/L) at 293 K with a flow rate of 135 mL/min. Although the dissolution of chlorine in FeOCl was found to result in reduced catalytic performance, the activity was restored after soaking the catalyst in concentrated hydrochloric acid (37%) and subsequent calcination. The mechanism of H2S removal was also discussed, and it was found that this process was controlled by H2S diffusion. FeOCl was found to activate H2O2 and produce radicals, such as •OH and •O2 -, resulting in the formation of a water film rich in radicals on the FeOCl surface. Following the diffusion of H2S into the water film, it underwent oxidation by radicals to produce SO4 2-. Overall, the catalyst and the product can be effectively separated.

Abstract
Iron oxychloride (FeOCl) has been reported to be a highly efficient heterogeneous Fenton catalyst over a wide pH range. In order to determine the true catalytic performance of FeOCl, we simultaneously quantified the adsorptive and oxidative removal of formate, oxalate, and rhodamine-B (RhB) and the formation of RhB oxidation products at both pH 4.0 and 7.0. FeOCl was found to be a poor Fenton catalyst at either pH, as gauged by the oxidation of formate, oxalate, and rhodamine B and the decomposition of H2O2, in comparison with ferrihydrite (Fhy), one of the most common Fe-containing Fenton catalysts. The adsorption of target contaminants to FeOCl and homogeneous Fenton processes, induced by dissolved iron, resulted in overevaluation of the catalytic performance of FeOCl, especially for (i) the use of strongly adsorbing target compounds, without consideration of the role of adsorption in their removal and (ii) exceedingly high concentrations of H2O2 to remove trace quantities of target contaminants. Overall, this study highlights that the systematic quantification of H2O2 decomposition, target compound adsorption, and oxidation as well as the concentrations of oxidized products formed are prerequisites for unequivocal elucidation of the catalytic nature and reaction mechanism of solid Fenton catalysts.

Abstract
The development of novel, intrinsic two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnets presents the opportunity to vastly improve the efficiency of spintronic devices and sensors. The strong intrinsic antiferromagnetism and van der Waals layered structure exhibited by the bulk transition-metal oxychlorides provide a convenient system for the synthesis of such materials. In this work, we report the exfoliation of bulk FeOCl into and subsequent characterization of intrinsically antiferromagnetic thin-layer FeOCl nanosheets. The magnetic properties of bulk FeOCl, its lithium intercalate, and its nanosheet pellet are measured to determine the evolution of magnetic properties from the three-dimensional to the quasi-two-dimensional system. This work establishes FeOCl and isostructural compounds as a source for the development of two-dimensional intrinsic antiferromagnets.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared polyaniline-intercalated iron oxychloride (FeOCl-PANI) by aqueous intercalation method to use it as a Fenton-like catalyst that was then assessed in terms of behavior of intercalation, structural evolution, Fenton-like activity, and catalytic mechanism. Gel-permeation chromatography demonstrated that the molecular weight (polymerization extent) of polyaniline fragment gradually increased with the increase of intercalation time. Interestingly, the polyaniline-intercalated materials with varying intercalation times exhibited distinctly different Fenton-like activity trends under acidic (pH 4) and neutral (pH 7) conditions. Specifically, Fenton-like degradation is favored with a shorter intercalation time under acidic conditions, while it is preferred with a longer intercalation time under neutral pH values. We propose that an additional pH-dependent charging of FeOCl-PANI with different polymerization extents of the intercalated polyaniline promotes a switch in the contaminant degradation pathway, leading to opposite trends in observable activity at different pH values. As a class of typical layered metal chalcogenohalides (MeAX, A = O, S, Se, X = Cl, Br, I), FeOCl-PANI is expected to provide new insights into the development of other similar materials. This work could be useful to further understand the H2O2 heterogeneous activation behavior, which is of significance to the application of iron-based heterogeneous Fenton oxidation.

Abstract
To enhance the Fenton catalytic performance in a neutral solution under indoor sunlight, a novel FeOCl/polyoxometalate (POM) (FeOCl/POM-W and FeOCl/POM-Mo) composite was successfully synthesized for the first time, which shows significantly improved Fenton catalytic activity and stability for phenol degradation compared with FeOCl. Furthermore, the degradation constants ( k) of FeOCl/POM-Mo (0.08 min-1) and FeOCl/POM-W (0.06 min-1) are a factor of 4 and 3 times greater than that of FeOCl (0.02 min-1), respectively. The enhanced catalytic activity is attributed to the formation of FeOCl/POM heterojunctions, which results in efficient separation of photoinduced electron-hole pairs and electron transfer from POM to FeOCl. Density functional theory calculations indicate a strong interface interaction of Fe-O-Mo and Fe-O-W in the FeOCl/POM heterojunctions. A Z-scheme mechanism for FeOCl/POM-Mo and a double-transfer mechanism for FeOCl/POM-W are proposed for the enhanced catalytic performance. This study sheds new light on the design and fabrication of high-performance photo-Fenton catalysts to overcome the environmental crisis.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2018; 532:161-170. [PMID: 30081262 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2018.07.128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2018] [Revised: 07/25/2018] [Accepted: 07/29/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Developing a catalyst with high efficiency and recyclability is an important issue for the heterogeneous Fenton-like systems. In this study, magnetic Fe3O4 and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanocomposites were prepared by a facile alkaline-thermal precipitation method and employed as a highly effective heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst for methyl orange (MO) degradation. Characterization of these nanocomposites by XRD, FTIR, Raman, FESEM and TEM revealed that nanoparticles (NPs) of Fe3O4 were tightly anchored on the few-layer RGO sheets. The anchoring of Fe3O4 NPs and the reduction of GO were achieved in one pot without adding any other reducing agents. Based on the measurements of GO surface Zeta potentials, a possible anchoring mechanism of Fe3O4 NPs onto RGO sheets was given. The Fe3O4/RGO nanocomposites exhibited much higher Fenton-like catalytic efficiency for MO degradation than pure Fe3O4 NPs. This degradation process followed the first-order kinetics model, where k1 and T complied with the Arrhenius equation with Ea of 12.79 kJ/mol and A of 8.20 s-1. Magnetic measurements revealed that Fe3O4/RGO nanocomposites were ferromagnetic as indicated by the presence of magnetic hysteresis loops. The Fe3O4/RGO nanocomposites showed good stability and recyclability. Hydroxyl radicals, OH were determined as the dominant oxidative species in Fe3O4/RGO-H2O2 system and the Fenton-like mechanism for MO degradation in water was proposed and discussed.
