Carbon dots have drawn extensive attention in the detection of metal ions with good stability, excellent biocompatibility and low toxicity. Meanwhile, the quantum yield, response rate and the detection mechanism for Cu2+ions are vital to their development and application. To obtain more selective and sensitive materials to detect Cu2+ions, N-doped carbon dots (DN-CDs) were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method using citric acid as the carbon source and diethylenetriamine (DETA) as the nitrogen source. The obtained DN-CDs exhibited stable and intense blue light emission and special near-infrared up-conversion fluorescence at 820 nm, attributed to the effect of introducing N atoms into the structure of carbon dots. Due to the dynamic quenching of the DN-CDs by Cu2+ions, the fluorescence intensity (λex = 820 nm) of DN-CDs was quantitatively decreased in the presence of Cu2+ions. The DN-CDs had a rapid response within 3 min. The DN-CD system exhibited a linear relationship with a concentration range from 2.5 to 50 µM and low detection limit (LOD) of 42 nM. After careful investigation, an interesting conclusion was proposed: N-doped CDs with N/O = 1:1 or higher with relatively abundant N atoms prefer to detect Cu2+ions while those with N/O = 1:2 or lower prefer to detect Fe3+ions.Keywords:carbon dots;up-conversion fluorescence;Cu2+ions detection

A novel two-dimensional Cd-based metal–organic framework, {[Cd(Hcpnc)(DMF)]·DMF·2H2O}n (Cd-MOF) has been synthesized successfully under solvothermal conditions by utilizing a multifunctional N,O-building block ligand, 2-(2,5-dicarboxylphenyl)nicotinic acid (H3cpnc), which is a new and virtually unexplored multifunctional pyridine-tricarboxylic building block. The product was isolated as a stable crystalline solid and was fully characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analyses, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The solid-state luminescence properties of the Cd-MOF were studied at ambient temperature. The compound shows high selectivity and sensitivity for Cu2+ ions and nitrobenzene by the luminescence quenching behavior with excellent repeatability. Additionally, the Cd-MOF exhibits an excellent specific capacitance of 321 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 and it still retains 95.2% of the original capacitance after 1000 cycles. Therefore, the Cd-MOF as a kind of bifunctional material will have broad application prospects in luminescence detection and supercapacitors.

In this paper, a novel quinoline derivative: 8-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)quinoline-2-carboxylic acid (Q) has been successfully synthesized, then it was coupled with carbon dots (CDs) to synthesize a CDs–Q nanocomposite by a simple and green method. The CDs–Q nanocomposite can act as a “turn-off” fluorescent chemosensor for detection of Cu2+ ions. It's a good candidate for Cu2+ sensing on account of its excellent properties such as its high sensitivity and selectivity, easy synthesis, excellent fluorescence stability towards temperature and pH, direct detection in aqueous solution and tap water and distinct fluorescence quenching towards Cu2+. We have also discussed the fluorescence quenching mechanism of CDs–Q and the possible coordination mode of CDs–Q with Cu2+. CDs–Q have a wide linear range (0.01–1.2 μM) and high sensitivity towards Cu2+ ions with a detection limit of 0.56 nM. In addition, this fluorescent chemosensor was also applied to determine Cu2+ in tap water with satisfying results.

The surface functional groups of carbon dots (CDs) play a significant role in the luminescence performances, but it is still unclear about the effects of special groups on the luminescence mechanism since there are different groups on the surface of prepared CDs. Here, electrochemical method was adopted to synthesize initial CDs and graphite rods served as raw materials, and initial CDs were only modified with amino groups to regulate their surface states, which lead to the blue, green and red luminescence for the modified CDs. The amino groups with different contents are only introduced on the surface of CDs without affecting carbon core. With the increased contents of amino groups, the luminescence spectra of CDs can be successfully modulated from blue to red emission. In addition, the blue emitting carbon dots (B-CDs) have a specific response to Cu 2+ ions and can be applied as a fluorescent probe to detect Cu 2+ ions in the solution. Moreover, the addition of DL-serine can restore the blue emission of B-CDs quenched by Cu 2+ ions. Therefore, the B-CDs have great potential application as a fluorescent reversible ion detector.

Hexagonal phase (β-) NaYF4:Yb/Er upconversion (UC) microrods doped with Cu2+ ions were prepared via a facile solvothermal method. Simultaneous phase and shape control of NaYF4:Yb/Er crystals with enhanced upconversion luminescence (UCL) was successfully realized by codoping with Cu2+ ions. With an increasing Cu2+ ion concentration in the NaYF4:Yb/Er system, the crystal structure changed from a mixture of α- and β-phases to the pure β-phase and was converted into highly uniform microrods. As for the Cu2+ ion doped β-NaYF4:Yb/Er upconversion microrods, the maximum emission occurs with the sample added with 60 mol% Cu2+ ions and the UCL intensities of the green and red emissions were enhanced 37 and 25 times, respectively. Meanwhile, the possible mechanisms for the enhanced UCL of NaYF4:Yb/Er crystals were also discussed in detail. Moreover, the temperature dependent UCL properties of 60 mol% Cu2+ ion doped β-NaYF4:Yb/Er were studied under 980 nm excitation, which were temperature-sensitive over a wide temperature range from 123 K to 423 K. The change in UCL intensity influenced by temperature was discussed in detail.

In this paper, a magnetic nano-Fe 3 O 4 /triethanolamine/GO composite (TEA-GO-FE) was prepared by using graphene oxide (GO), triethanolamine (TEA), and ferric chloride. The result indicates that triethanolamine acted as an important role for the growing of Fe 3 O 4 and adsorption ability of composite material. The synthesis mechanism of TEA-GO-FE was investigated through the medium of SEM-EDS, XRD, FT-IR, and TEM. The characterization results indicated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles have been successfully loaded on the surface of graphene oxide and they were encapsulated by TEA and have excellent stability. According to the results of XRD, the general particle size of Fe 3 O 4 on TEA-GO-FE was 27.5 nm. In order to understand the adsorption properties of TEA-GO-FE for Pb 2+ and Cu 2+ , this article uses a static adsorption study method. The optimized adsorption conditions are as follows: pH = 5.0, temperature is 293.15 K, and the ion concentration is 100 mg/L. Under the optimized prerequisites, the adsorption capacities of Pb 2+ and Cu 2+ were 121.5 mg/g and 68.7 mg/g, separately. Through thermodynamic as well as kinetic studies, the adsorption process of Pb 2+ and Cu 2+ on TEA-GO-FE is a self-heating process.

A novel signal amplification strategy based on Cu 2+ -dependent DNAzyme was developed for sensing Cu 2+ ion by combining hybridization chain reaction (HCR) with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technique. In the presence of Cu 2+ ion, the substrate strands of Cu 2+ -dependent DNAzyme immobilized on magnetic beads were specifically cleaved and released. The released strands initiated the HCR process of hairpin H1 and H2 labeled with FAM as the donor and TAMRA as the acceptor, respectively. Long nicked dsDNA structures were self-assembled to bring the donor and the acceptor in close proximity, resulting in a FRET process. The relative ratio of fluorescent intensities of the acceptor and donor was used to quantitatively detect Cu 2+ ion with a limit of detection of 0.5 nmol L −1 . This proposed biosensor was applied to detect Cu 2+ ion in tap water with satisfactory results.

Realizing the high value-added utilization of cheap minerals in environmental catalysis has important practical significance. Herein, four nano-scale minerals, namely halloysite (Hal) nanotubes , palygorskite (Pal) nanorods , and montmorillonite (Mon) and hydrotalcite (LDH) nanosheets , were selected for in-situ supporting CeO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) by a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. Among various nanocomposites (NCs), CeO 2 /Pal behaves the highest peroxidase-like activity, attributing to larger surface area for uniformly dispersing CeO 2 NPs and more exposed active oxygen vacancy (O vac ) defects. A novel off-on colorimetric strategy was constructed for detecting toxic L -penicillamine (LPA) and Cu 2+ ion with limit of detections (LODs) of 8.37 and 9.80 μM, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the O vac defect on CeO 2 (111) surface can catalyze the heterolytic cleavage of H 2 O 2 into H 2 O and oxygen radical (•O), instead of being two hydroxyl radicals (•OH) on clean surface. It can also act as trapping site for O 2 and H 2 O adsorption, improving the oxygen affinity and hydrophilicity of CeO 2 /Pal. This study provides a feasible strategy for designing mineral-based nanozymes and an insight into the possible catalytic mechanism.

We report inter-diffusion of as-synthesized covellite CuS nanocrystals (NCs) with Cu2+ cations at room temperature in the presence of a mild reducing agent (i.e., ascorbic acid). Unlike the previously-reported incorporation of Cu+ or Cu2+ ions with CuS that generates homogenous Cu2−xS NCs, the controlled diffusion of Cu2+ ions into the CuS NCs allows the formation of a unique CuS@Cu2−xS core–shell-like nanostructure as the intermediate and Cu2S NCs in the presence of excess Cu2+ ions. The CuS@Cu2−xS core–shell nanostructure can evolve into homogenous Cu2−xS NCs by further cation diffusion from the Cu2−xS shell toward the center (i.e. the CuS core) under E-beam irradiation during TEM test or when the core–shell NCs are stored in toluene for some time (e.g. four weeks). Notably, the CuS/paraffin composite with filler loading of 50 wt% and thickness of 1.95 mm displays a minimum reflection loss (RL) of −54.84 dB at 12.6 GHz. By adjusting the thickness in the range of 1–5 mm, the effective absorption bandwidth (below −10 dB, 90% microwave absorption) could reach 15 GHz (3–18 GHz). In particular, the diffusion of Cu2+ into CuS NCs leads to dampening of the NIR plasmon absorbance and a decrease in free carrier (i.e., hole) density and conductivity, which accounts for the confinement effect on the microwave absorption properties of the resulting samples.

The compounds with an imidazole structure, DHH and DHM, were synthesized using benzoyl, ammonium acetate, 2-hydroxy-5-methylisophthalaldehyde, and 2-(3-aldehyde-4-hydroxyphenyl)- 4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylate as raw materials. The structures of probes DHH and DHM were characterized by FT-IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and HR-MS. This study found that DHH and DHM can rapidly and highly selectively recognize Cu 2+ in EtOH-H 2 O (1:1 v/v). The spectral characteristics of DHH and DHM were studied using fluorescence spectroscopy and UV–vis spectroscopy. The results show that the combination of DHH and DHM with Cu 2+ produces a significant fluorescence quenching effect, and the influence of other metal ions can be neglected. Subsequently, through Job’s plot analysis, 1 H NMR titration, and DFT calculations, the binding mechanisms of probes DHH and DHM with Cu 2+ were explored, and it was found that they coordinate in a 2:1 ratio. The experimental study on standard addition recovery showed that probes DHH and DHM could be used for the quantitative detection of Cu 2+ in actual water samples. The probes were also successfully applied to the monitoring of Cu 2+ in living cells. Graphical abstract
The compounds containing imidazole structures in probes DHH and DHM were successfully synthesized and characterized. Test strips made of DHH and DHM were used for rapid “naked-eye” detection of Cu2 + in an aqueous medium. The probes were successfully used to monitor Cu2 + in living cells and real water samples.

Implant-related infection and early bone integration are the main risk factors of implants for long-term service, to overcome these difficulties, SLA-TiCu surface was prepared by sandblasting and large-grits etching (SLA) treatment on a novel antibacterial titanium-copper alloy (TiCu), which is the most prevalent surface treatment with micro/submicron hierarchical structures to titanium-based implants. Effects of SLA-TiCu surface on the adhesion, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells as well as the antibacterial activity against a common orthopedic pathogen ( Staphylococcus aureus ) were studied. Compared to the following surfaces: sandblasting and large-grits etched pure titanium (SLA-Ti), mechanically ground pure titanium and TiCu alloy (M-Ti and M-TiCu), these results indicated that SLA-TiCu surface obviously enhanced the bone-related gene expressions (alkaline phosphates (ALP), collagen type I (COL I), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUN × 2), and osteopontin (OPN)). Moreover, SLA-TiCu surface could maintain a sustainable release of Cu 2+ ions and effectively inhibited the viability of bacteria. This study demonstrated that SLA-TiCu surface possessed multifunctional characteristics of improved osteogenic ability and antibacterial activity, making it promising as a novel implant material for hard tissue repairs such as orthopedics and dental implants .

An easy-to-use, fast and highly selective method, which used unmodified gold nanorods (GNRs) as a chiral nanosensor for the chiral recognition of cysteine (Cys) enantiomers, has been developed in this work. Under the optimized conditions, L-Cys caused GNRs aggregation, and the absorbance decrease of GNRs at a wavelength of 650 nm was 0.601. However, the GNRs were almost monodispersed and the absorbance decrease was only 0.289 for D-Cys. The combined assay process with the optical rotation of GNRs, and the chiral recognition phenomenon could be assigned to the fact that L-Cys induced the end-to-end assembly of GNRs through crosslinking agent Cu2+ ions. The detection limit of this method for L-Cys was 0.325 μM. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 1.5% for trace L-Cys, which indicated that the method presented good precision for the analysis of trace L-Cys in solution samples. Futhermore, we demonstrated that the nanosensor possessed high selectivity for the chiral recognition of Cys enantiomers. The response of GNRs (ΔALD) to Cys enantiomers was 7.8 times to tryptophan (Try) enantiomers, and 9.2 times to phenylalanine (Phe) enantiomers. In our perception, the assay showed new opportunities for efficient enantiosensing strategies.
