A stable B, N-CDs@SiO 2 RTP composite was constructed via silica confinement. • The composite shows blue fluorescence and green phosphorescence with 15 s afterglow. • A UV–Vis/fluorescence/phosphorescence tri-mode platform was developed for TNP sensing. • Portable RTP-foam enables visual and semi-quantitative on-site TNP detection. The development of optical probes with multimodal responses is of great significance for improving the reliability of hazardous pollutant detection. Herein, a room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) composite based on B/N co-doped carbon dots (B/N-CDs) confined within a SiO 2 ) matrix (B/N-CDs@SiO 2 ) was developed for the tri-mode detection of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). B/N-CDs@SiO 2 exhibited blue fluorescence at 450 nm and green phosphorescence at 520 nm, with an average phosphorescence lifetime of 1.91 s and a visible afterglow lasting approximately 15 s, together with satisfactory optical stability. Interestingly, B/N-CDs@SiO 2 exhibits excellent response to TNP in both UV–vis absorption, fluorescence, and phosphorescence, thereby establishing a tri-mode sensing platform for TNP detection with detection limits of 1.81 μM, 0.32 μM, and 0.54 μM, respectively. The probe also demonstrates high selectivity for TNP over common ions and structurally related aromatic compounds, along with strong anti-interference capability. In spiked recovery tests in kinds of real samples, the satisfactory recoveries ranging from 91.2% to 108.9% (RSD: 0.34% to 3.74%) demonstrating its higher detection accuracy. Finally, the composite can be immobilized onto polyurethane foam to construct a portable visual sensing platform, which also successfully enabled the tri-mode and semi-quantitative detection of TNP. This work opens up a new avenue for the development of multi-signal detection systems for expanding their practical applications. Schematic illustration of the synthesis of B/N-CDs@SiO 2 and its application in TNP tri-mode sensing construction for TNP visual detection.

Amorphous metal-based nanostructures have attracted great attention recently due to their facilitative electron transfer and abundant reactive sites, whereas it remains enigmatic as to whether amorphous copper-based nanoparticles (CuNPs) can be achieved. Here, for synthesizing amorphous CuNPs, glutathione is adopted as a ligand to inhibit the nucleation and crystallization process via its electrostatic repulsion. By subtly tailoring the solvent polarity, not only can amorphous glutathione-functionalized CuNPs (GSH-CuNPs) with phosphorescent performance be achieved after transferring the non-conjugation of GSH ligand to through-space conjugation, namely clusterization-triggered emission, but also the phosphorescence-off of GSH-CuNPs toward 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) can be realized by the photoinduced electron-transfer process through the hydrogen bond channel, which is established between carboxyl and amino groups of GSH-CuNPs with the nitryl group of TNT. Benefitting from the intrinsic superiorities of the amorphous CuNPs, desired phosphorescence and detection performances of GSH-CuNPs toward airborne TNT microparticulates are undoubtedly realized, including high quantum yield (13.22%), excellent specificity in 33 potential interferents, instantaneous response, and ultralow detection limit (1.56 pg). The present GSH-CuNPs are expected to stretch amorphous metal-based nanostructures and deepen the insights into amorphous materials for optical detection.

The detection and discrimination of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) from analogues are of great importance to global security and are full of challenges in the field of trace sensing. Here, benefitting from the strong electrophilicity of TNT, a sensing strategy is established by synthesizing polyethyleneimine capped copper nanoclusters (PEI-Cu NCs) with abundant –NH2 groups. By carefully controlling the size and structure of PEI-Cu NCs, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from PEI-Cu NCs to the Meisenheimer complex occurs resulting from their spectral overlap when detecting TNT, while, due to the energy level match of TNP with PEI-Cu NCs, as well as the strong affinity between its –OH and –NH2 in PEI-Cu NCs, photo-induced electron transfer (PET) is feasibly expected. As a result, TNT and TNP could be detected from 26 types of analogues and cations with a limit of detection (LOD) of 26.57 and 12.82 nM, respectively. Besides, owing to the brown color of the Meisenheimer complex, the discrimination of TNT and TNP could be additionally realized by colorimetric detection. We expect that the proposed methodology would not only shine light on the detection and discrimination of TNT and TNP that mitigate against public security concerns, but also pave a way for the deep understanding of FRET and PET related fluorescence quenching mechanisms from the aspect of controllable sensing material design and synthesis.

Herein, we report a simple synthesis of PtNiCo trimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) loaded on carbon black (PtNiCo/C) via ambient-temperature chemical reduction and galvanic replacement reaction. The influence of thermal treatment temperature in 10 %H 2 /N 2 on PtNiCo NPs in PtNiCo/C-X nanostructures is revealed, where, X = 200 °C, 500 °C. XRD, XPS, TEM, HAADF-STEM, HRTEM, STEM-EDX elemental line-scanning (mapping), HS-LEIS, H 2 -TPR, atomic resolution aberration-corrected STEM (AC-STEM), XANES and EXAFS have been employed to characterize various nanostructures of PtNiCo NPs in PtNiCo/C-X. We established the relationship of nanostructure-reducing temperature thus catalytic behavior of PtNiCo/C-X: PtNiCo/C-200 ∼ Pt island (single atom and cluster)-on-NiCo alloy NP, PtNiCo/C-500 ∼ PtNiCo alloy NPs. PtNiCo/C-200 provides much improved catalytic activity and selectivity to target products ( NO 2 group hydrogenation) as compared to PtNiCo/C-500 for nitroarenes selective hydrogenation under mild reaction conditions (1.0 MPa-H 2 pressure, 18 °C or 40 °C-reaction temperature). That is considered to be closely correlated with the synergy effect of Pt islands and NiCo alloy nanoparticles in PtNiCo/C-200.

Utilizing inexhaustible solar energy to realize water purification is a green and sustainable solution to water pollution. Herein, a laser thermal method was adopted to prepare reduced graphene oxide/CuS nanocomposites (rGO/CuS) for solar-driven water purification. By laser treatment of aqueous NaOH solution containing graphene oxide, CuCl 2 , and thiourea, rGO was formed, and CuS was anchored on the rGO surface at an elevated temperature. The prepared rGO/CuS showed high photothermal conversion ability, and the water evaporation enthalpy was reduced for rGO/CuS loaded melamine sponge (rGO/CuS-MS). A notable high solar-driven water evaporation rate of 2.09 kg•m −2 •h −1 was achieved for rGO/CuS-MS under 1.0 kW•m −2 solar irradiation. Integrating with the adsorption ability, the rGO/CuS-MS demonstrated efficient removal capacity of rhodamine B (RhB), volatile m-dinitrobenzene (m-NB), and Ni 2+ in water under solar irradiation. The results indicated that the water evaporation could enhance the RhB, m-NB, and Ni 2+ adsorption capacity of rGO/CuS-MS. Both the unevaporated and distilled water can be efficiently purified by rGO/CuS-MS under solar irradiation. Also, increasing solar flux showed contribution to higher RhB removal ratio for the accelerated water evaporation. This study could contribute to preparing rGO-based nanocomposites for water resources remediation applications.

The realization of efficient and fully controllable synthesis of single atom catalysts is an exciting frontier, yet still challenging in the modern catalysis field. Here we describe a straightforward high-temperature quenching approach to precisely construct isolated palladium atoms supported over cubic indium oxide, with individual palladium atoms coordinated with four neighboring oxygen atoms. This palladium catalyst achieves exceptional catalytic efficiency in the selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline, with more than 99% chemoselectivity under almost 100% conversion. Moreover, it delivers excellent recyclability, anti-CO poisoning ability, storage stability, and substrate tolerance. DFT calculations further reveal that the high catalytic activity stems from the optimized electronic structure and the charge states of palladium atoms in the defect-containing indium oxide. Our findings provide an effective approach to engineering single atom catalysts at the atomic level and open the door to a wide variety of catalytic reactions .

An aggregation-induced emission monomer-based fluorescent molecularly imprinted poly(ionic liquid) (AIE-FMIPIL) was synthesized for the first time with an AIE probe 4-(1,2,2-triphenylvinyl)phenyl acrylate (TPE), and an ionic liquid as dual functional monomers, and an ionic liquid as cross-linker. AIE-FMIPIL displayed a sphere-like shape and its average diameter was 410 nm. The absolute quantum yields of TPE and AIE-FMIPIL were 9.23% and 12.61%, respectively. The synergetic effect of TPE in the AIE-FMIPIL framework contributed to the higher quantum yield of AIE-FMIPIL. 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) efficiently quenched AIE-FMIPIL with high fluorescence based on the Förster resonance energy transfer mechanism. The synthesized AIE-FMIPIL sensor was highly sensitive for 4-NP detection (linear range, 0.02–1.5 μM) in the optimal detection condition, with a low detection limit of 10 nM (S/N = 3). AIE-FMIPIL showed increased sensitivity and quenching efficiency compared with AIE-FMIP comprising a traditional monomer and cross-linker. AIE-FMIPIL exhibited selective binding to 4-NP because of the imprinted sites. AIE-FMIPIL was adopted to detect 4-NP in environmental samples.

Recently, exploring new luminescent metal–organic frameworks (LMOFs) to selectively detect nitro-aromatic compounds (NACs) has been a hot topic of research. Simultaneously, it is still a challenging issue to understand the sensing mechanism of luminescent MOFs interacting with NACs at the molecular level. In this work, highly fluorescent Sc-tetracarboxylate frameworks (Sc-EBTC) have been successfully synthesized through a solvothermal method. The as-prepared Sc-EBTC crystals have good thermal stability, chemical stability as well as strong fluorescence (λex = 320 nm and λem = 400 nm), and they can detect various NACs rapidly (as short as 30 s), selectively and efficiently by the “turn-off” fluorescence mechanism. The detection limits of Sc-EBTC toward 2,4-DNP and 4-NP are quantified to be 5.71 ppb and 6.26 ppb, respectively. Furthermore, to better understand the sensing mechanism, we attempt to use solid-state NMR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to vividly characterize the charge transfer caused by the interaction between NAC molecules and the MOF at the molecular level. Additionally, test strips were made successfully for the practical detection of the NACs. This study demonstrates that the MOF constructed from the H4EBTC ligands might be a promising candidate for the detection of trace NACs.

Carbon dots (CDs) with excellent optical properties are widely used in biomedicine, fluorescence sensing, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, it is still a challenge to prepare CDs that can stably emit red fluorescence in the water environment. In this study, polydopamine-encapsulated luminescent carbon dots (CDs@PDA) with an encapsulating structure were synthesized at room temperature from p -phenylenediamine-derived red-light CDs as the core and using mussel-inspired chemical properties of polydopamine (PDA). In the binary system of water:ethanol = 1: 3 (volume ratio), the as-prepared CDs@PDA had a dual emission of ultraviolet light (330 nm) and red light (640 nm) with the fluorescence quantum yields of 8.0 and 15.5%, respectively, at the same time under 285 nm light excitation. The as-prepared CDs@PDA could be directly used for fluorescence selective sensing of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and Fe 3+ through simultaneously quenching of ultraviolet and red fluorescence based on the internal filtration effect mechanism with detection limits of 3.44 and 3.75 μM, respectively. This research showed that PDA-coated CDs can significantly improve the photoluminescence stability of CDs with new optical features. This means that the encapsulated structure of mussel chemistry is very helpful for expanding the application range of CDs in the water environment.

The development of probes for the testing of the carcinogenic pollutant 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) is of great importance for environmental protection and human health. In this paper, a new rapid and sensitive fluorescence detection method based on carbon dots (CDs) was designed for the detection of TNP. The CDs were synthesized by simple pyrolysis using citric acid as raw material and characterized by various advanced techniques. The addition of TNP caused a significant turn off in the fluorescence of the CDs. The fluorescence quench intensity and TNP concentration exhibited a good linear correlation in the range of 0–80 μM with a minimum detection limit of 0.48 μM and a related coefficient of 0.994. The analytical method was applied to the determination of trace TNP in river water and tap water with recoveries in the range of 98%–110% and relative standard deviations less than 5%. Importantly, carbon dots functionalized papers (CDFPs) were prepared using the synthesized CDs and successfully applied to the determination of TNP in aqueous solutions, demonstrating the promising application of the method.

The hydrogenation of m -dinitrobenzene to m -phenylenediamine is a significant transformation for the synthesis of dyes and pigments in the fine chemical industry. Owing to the complexity of this reaction mechanism and negative effect of the first amino group on the reduction of the second nitro group, it is difficult to inhibit eminently the generation of side products and obtain m -phenylenediamine efficiently. Hence it is imperative to establish kinetic network and investigate the intrinsic kinetic parameters of this reaction for further optimization. In this study, a continuous flow system based on micro-packed bed reactor was developed and a kinetic model of the hydrogenation of m -dinitrobenzene was established successfully. The activation energies and pre-exponential factors were acquired using the kinetic network and the kinetic model exhibited reasonable fit for the transformation of each substance. Moreover, the influence of pressure was investigated, and the accuracy of kinetic model was validated by the comparison with the values in literature. This kinetic model enabled the accurate determination of kinetic parameters with Pt/C and Ni/SiO 2 catalysts, and provided the rate determining steps and characteristics of different catalysts for the process optimization.

As a new family of fluorescent materials, all inorganic perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) CsPbX 3 (Cl, Br, I) have attracted rising attention due to their intrinsic optical superiorities and potential applications in various fields. This work takes advantage of the bright fluorescence of PQDs and the strong electrophilic properties of picric acid (PA) to construct an analytical method for sensitive and selective discrimination of PA against other nitroaromatic explosives, and the limit of detection is as low as 0.8 nM. The quenching mechanism was elucidated as the formation of electrostatic complex and the electron transfer between PA and PQDs. To facilitate visual and on-site detection, the CsPbBr 3 PQDs were printed onto microfiltration membrane by inkjet printing to fabricate test papers for rapid and on-site detections of explosive and pollutant PA, showing a great research prospect in the detection of ultratrace PA at different sites.
