RESUMO
Recently, photo-Fenton technology has been widely used to degrade tetracycline (TC) because of its great efficiency and wide application range. Herein, Fe-Ni layered double hydroxides (FeNi-LDH)/Ti3C2 photo-Fenton system was constructed in this study. The results showed the introduction of Ti3C2 solved some problems of FeNi-LDH such as poor conductivity, easy aggregation, and high recombination rate of photoelectron. Benefiting from these advantages, FeNi-LDH/Ti3C2 exhibited excellent TC removal rate of 94.7% while pure FeNi-LDH was only 54%. Besides, FeNi-LDH/Ti3C2 possessed strong pH tolerance (2-11) and the removal efficiency was still up to 82% after the four-cycle experiment. Furthermore, the quenching experiments revealed the reaction mechanism, where âOH and ·O2- were the primary active radicals for degrading TC. Last, the results of the simulated wastewater treatment and the inorganic ion interference tests showed that FeNi-LDH/Ti3C2 possessed practical application potential. In brief, this study shows that FeNi-LDH/Ti3C2 can offer a certain theoretical basis for the actual development of hydrotalcite in heterogeneous photo-Fenton systems.

The VB2-air battery is currently known for its highest theoretical specific capacity, up to 4060 mA h g-1. This together with the excellent environmental compatibility and high security endues with promising application prospects for the battery. However, the self-discharge of the anode caused by hydrogen evolution corrosion results in a severe capacity loss during discharge. In this work, we studied the FeNi-LDH intercalation for suppressing the self-discharge of the VB2-air battery. We adopt the vertical FeNi-LDH arrays to modify VB2 particles. Hydroxyl ions participating in the discharge reaction are transported along adsorbed water molecules and hydroxide host layers through a rapid hydrogen bond formation and cleavage to the VB2 surface, while the depolarizer hydrogen ions are isolated. The hydrogen evolution corrosion on the VB2 anode is effectively suppressed. As a result, the discharge specific capacity of the battery is increased by 700 mA h g-1.
