The as spun amorphous (Fe78Si9B13)99.5Zr0.5 (Zr0.5) and (Fe78Si9B13)99Zr1 (Zr1) ribbons having a Fenton-like reaction are proved to bear a good degradation performance in organic dye wastewater treatment for the first time by evaluating their degradation efficiency in methylene blue (MB) solution. Compared to the widely studied (Fe78Si9B13)100Zr0 (Zr0) amorphous ribbon for degradation, with increasing cZr (Zr atomic content), the as-spun Zr0, Zr0.5 and Zr1 amorphous ribbons have gradually increased degradation rate of MB solution. According to δc (characteristic distance) of as-spun Zr0, Zr0.5 and Zr1 ribbons, the free volume in Zr1 ribbon is higher Zr0 and Zr0.5 ribbons. In the reaction process, the Zr1 ribbon surface formed the 3D nano-porous structure with specific surface area higher than the cotton floc structure formed by Zr0 ribbon and coarse porous structure formed by Zr0.5 ribbon. The Zr1 ribbon’s high free volume and high specific surface area make its degradation rate of MB solution higher than that of Zr0 and Zr0.5 ribbons. This work not only provides a new method to remedying the organic dyes wastewater with high efficiency and low-cost, but also improves an application prospect of Fe-based glassy alloys.

Nitrogen sorption and small- and wide-angle X-ray and neutron scattering techniques were used to study the porous structure of geopolymers, inorganic polymers synthesized by reaction of a strongly alkaline solution and an aluminosilicate source (metakaolin). The effects of aging and the use of alkali activators (Na+, K+) of different sizes were investigated at room temperature. The influence of aging time on the microstructure of both geopolymer matrixes was verified in terms of pore volume and specific surface area. The results suggested a refinement of the porosity and therefore a reduction in the pore volume over time. Regardless of the age considered, some characteristics of the porous network such as pore size, shape and distribution depend on the alkali activator used. Whatever the technique considered, the potassium geopolymer has a greater specific surface area than the sodium geopolymer. According to the scattering results, the refinement of the porosity can be associated with, first, a densification of the solid network and, secondly, a partial closure of the porosity at the nanometre scale. The kinetics are much slower for the sodium geopolymer than for the potassium geopolymer in the six months of observation.

We have succeeded in preparing micro/nanostructured α-Fe2O3 spheres (MNFSs). The resulted MNFSs have an average diameter of about 5 µm, and are constructed by subunits of interlinked and elongated particles with a diameter of 20~60 nm. MNFSs show an obviously structural enhanced Cr(VI) removal capacity (5.88 mg/g) compared with nanoscaled (0.81 mg/g) and microscaled α-Fe2O3 (0.1 mg/g) due to its high specific surface area together with the special porous structure. Moreover, MNFSs show good availability of reusing to remove Cr(VI) ions.

Porous polydivinylbenzene particles were prepared by dispersion polymerization, using AIBN as initiator, acetonitrile as solvent, calcium carbonate and polypyrrolidone used as dispersion stabilizer and porogen. Ratio of dispersion stabilizer with monomer affects the specific surface area and porous structure. Calcium carbonate and polypyrrolidone used porogen were studied.

We report on the synthesis of 3D mesoporous fullerene/carbon hybrid materials with ordered porous structure and high surface area by mixing the solution of fullerene and sucrose molecules in the nanochannels of 3D mesoporous silica, KIT-6 via nanotemplating approach. The addition of sucrose molecules in the synthesis offers a thin layer of carbon between the fullerene molecules which enhances not only the specific surface area and the specific pore volume but also the conductivity of the hybrid materials. The prepared hybrids exhibit 3D mesoporous structure and show a much higher specific surface area than that of the pure mesoporous fullerene. The hybrids materials are used as the electrodes for supercapacitor and Li-ion battery applications. The optimised hybrid sample shows an excellent rate capability and a high specific capacitance of 254 F/g at the current density of 0.5 A/g, which is much higher than that of the pure mesoporous fullerene, mesoporous carbon, activated carbon and multiwalled carbon nanotubes. When used as the electrode for Li-ion battery, the sample delivers the largest specific capacity of 1067 mAh/g upon 50 cycles at the current density of 0.1 A/g with stability. These results reveal that the addition of carbon in the mesoporous fullerene with 3D structure makes a significant impact on the electrochemical properties of the hybrid samples, demonstrating their potential for applications in Li-ion battery and supercapacitor devices.
