Heavy metal pollution has resulted in serious environmental damage and raised significant
public health concerns. One potential solution in terminal waste treatment is to structurally …

The dark production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) coupled to biogeochemical cycling of
iron (Fe) plays a pivotal role in controlling arsenic transformation and detoxification …

Poorly-crystalline ferrihydrite is ubiquitous in the environment and contributes to controlling
the fate of arsenic in sediments and soils. Although there is evidence that ferrihydrite has a …

Contaminated soil with high mobility of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can threaten the
environment and human health. Precisely quantifying trends in PTEs accumulation in the …

The incorporation of secondary metal atoms into iron oxyhydroxides may regulate the
surface chemistry of mediating electron transfer (ET) and, therefore, the biogeochemical …

Hematite nanoparticles commonly undergoes isomorphic substitution of Al 3+ in nature,
while how the Al-substitution-induced morphological change, defective structure and newly …

The dynamics of trace metals at mineral surfaces influence their fate and bioaccessibility in
the environment. Trace metals on iron (oxyhydr) oxide surfaces display adsorption …

Goethite is a commonly found iron (hydr) oxide in soils and sediments that has been proven
to possess abundant defects in structures. However, the underlying impact of these defects …

Redox-driven reactions involving Mn (II) species adsorbed at Mn (IV) oxide surfaces can
release Mn (III) in the form of dissolved Mn (III)–ligand species in natural waters. Using …

Iron oxide minerals are ubiquitous in soils, sediments, and aquatic systems and influence
the fate and availability of trace metals. Ferrihydrite is a common iron oxide of …
