Secondary Ni 2+ curing enhances the loading stability of Prussian blue analogs. • Integration of adsorption and separation enables efficient cesium removal • The incorporation of PA layer enhances the anti-interference capability. • The prepared membrane achieves over 99% Cs + removal efficiency in high-Cs + solution. With the rapid expansion of nuclear energy, radioactive cesium ( 137 Cs) contamination poses severe ecological and human health hazards due to its long half-life (30.2 years), intense γ-radioactivity, and high aqueous mobility. Conventional remediation technologies remain constrained by inadequate selectivity, excessive energy consumption, and the generation of secondary pollutants. Although membrane-based separation affords continuous processing, conventional membranes typically exhibit insufficient Cs + selectivity. Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are highly promising for Cs + capture because their crystallographic lattice channels enable size/fit-assisted ion sieving. However, their practical performance is often impeded by PBAs particle aggregation and weak adhesion to membrane substrate. Herein this study presents a PAN-PBAs-PA composite membrane with an interracially engineered architecture, fabricated via a four-step strategy: alkalization, in-situ PBAs growth, secondary Ni 2+ curing, and interfacial polymerization (IP). This design enables efficient and selective removal of Cs + from aqueous media. A systematic optimization was conducted for the secondary Ni 2+ curing parameters and for IP conditions. Optimized secondary Ni 2+ curing conditions (30 mmol·L −1 NiCl 2 , 5 min), uniformly dispersed, highly crystalline Ni Fe PBA nanoparticles were achieved, affording an equilibrium Cs + adsorption capacity of 485 mg·m −2 IP optimization (0.2 wt% PIP, 0.02 wt% TMC, 5 min) further delivered composite membranes exhibiting nearly complete rejection of 2 ppm Cs + (≈100%), while maintaining high selectivity against coexisting salts, with 85% rejection for MgCl 2 , and 92% rejection for Na 2 SO 4 . Meanwhile, the resulting membranes demonstrated markedly enhanced thermal and structural stability. Mechanistically, the secondary Ni 2+ curing strategy promotes robust PBAs anchoring through regulating nucleation and growth at the membrane interface. Benefiting from synergistic size-sieving by PBAs lattice and electrostatic partitioning (Donnan effects) imposed by the PA layer, the membranes achieve enable superior Cs + selectivity. This work provides novel insights into PBAs-membrane interfacial engineering and offers an effective materials platform for advanced nuclear wastewater treatment.

The effective removal of multiple metal ions from aqueous solutions in a single-treatment process was explored using modified natural clinoptilolite (NCP). Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the impact of critical factors, such as adsorbent dosage, contact time, adsorbate concentration, pH, and temperature, on the removal efficiency. The modified NCP achieved maximum adsorption capacities of 81.4, 78.4, 75.2, 72.2, and 68.8 mg·g −1 for Cd 2+ , Fe 3+ , Ni 2+ , Mn 2+ , and Sr 2+ , with removal efficiencies of 95.0 %, 90.1 %, 90.0 %, 86.5 %, and 82.5 %, respectively, at pH 3.0 and 25 °C for Fe 3+ , and pH 7.5 and 85 °C for the others. Adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model while intra-particle diffusion, analyzed via the Weber-Morris model indicated that pore diffusion was a dominant mechanism, particularly for Fe³⁺. The Langmuir isotherm provided the best fit to the equilibrium data. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed the viability of the adsorption process, with Fe 3+ exhibiting exothermic adsorption, while the uptake of Mn 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cd 2+ , and Sr 2+ was endothermic. Negative entropy changes indicated enhanced ordering of adsorbed metal ions via strong electrostatic interactions. The modified NCPs demonstrated excellent regeneration capability and stability under acidic, basic, and thermal conditions. These findings provide valuable insights for designing effective multi-ion adsorption systems with enhanced performance and reliability.

Here, near-infrared broad dual-band emission phosphors were achieved through energy transfer between Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions in the β-Ga2O3 host. All samples co-doped with Cr3+ and Ni2+ exhibit dual-band emission covering 600–1700 nm under 430 nm excitation. Thanks to the doping of Cr3+ ions, the emission intensity of Ga2O3:Cr3+, Ni2+ phosphors has increased by about 2.4 times and the internal quantum efficiency has increased by 83.2% compared to Ga2O3:Ni2+ phosphors. Meanwhile, when the fluorescence lifetime was monitored at 745 nm, an efficient energy transfer between Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions in the β-Ga2O3 host was verified. Due to the significant differences in the emission temperature-sensitive properties of Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions, a thermometer was designed utilizing fluorescence intensity ratio technology, achieving a maximum relative sensitivity of 5.26% K–1, which surpasses most optical temperature measurement phosphors. This suggests that Ga2O3:Cr3+, Ni2+ samples hold promise as potential candidates for optical thermometer materials. Additionally, the broadband near-infrared emission of the Ga2O3:Cr3+, Ni2+ sample has been investigated for potential applications in component analysis and night vision, demonstrating its versatility for multifunctional applications.

Batch tests were carried out to study the effect of simultaneous addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and Ni2+(EDTA-Ni) on anaerobic digestion (AD) performances of kitchen wastes (KWs). The results indicated that the cumulative biogas yield and methane content were enhanced to 563.82 mL/gVS and 63.7% by adding EDTA-Ni, respectively, which were almost 1.15 and 1.07-fold of that in the R2 with Ni2+addition alone. At the same time, an obvious decrease of propionic acid was observed after EDTA-Ni addition. The speciation analysis of Ni showed that the percentages of water-soluble and exchangeable Ni were increased to 38.8% and 36.3% due to EDTA-Ni addition, respectively. Also, the high-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the EDTA-Ni promoted the growth and metabolism ofMethanosarcinaandMethanobacterium, which might be the major reason for propionic acid degradation and methane production.Keywords:EDTA;kitchen waste;methane;microbial community;Ni2+

In this work, a novel Ni 2+ &AABOB bifunctional core–shell magnetic composite nanoparticles (MNPs), Fe 3 O 4 @p(AABOB-co-AIM-Ni 2+ ), were synthesized for the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Two kinds of interaction are simultaneously incorporated to improve the stability and reusability of immobilized HRP: one is the coordination between Ni 2+ and amide group in HRP, and the other is the interaction of the wulff-type boronic acid group with cis-diol-containing HRP which belongs to a type of glycoproteins. Accordingly, the proposed approach achieved high enrichment capacity (174.75 mg/g, protein/beads), and the activity of immobilized HRP still achieved 80% after reuse for 5 cycles. The degradation efficiency of phenol in the presence of immobilized HRP reached 93% within 10 min, which was significantly higher than that of free HRP only about 50% within 20 min. In addition, the immobilized HRP can be easily separated from the reaction solution by an external magnetic field.

The quest for broadband electromagnetic wave absorption to satisfy the demands of various fields has emerged as a prominent research focus in the domain of electromagnetic wave absorption. By considering the effects of magnetic loss and polarization loss across different frequency bands, the development of composite materials incorporating magnetic metal particles and single metal atoms may facilitate an expansion of the electromagnetic wave absorption frequency range. Consequently, we synthesized FeCo@C/Ni@C composites derived from FeCo Prussian blue analogues and polydopamine through wet chemistry and pyrolysis methods. The chelation mechanism of polydopamine, combined with the physical barrier effect provided by Zn ions during synthesis, endows the FeCo@C/Ni@C composite with low-frequency magnetic loss characteristics from the FeCo alloy, high-frequency dipole polarization losses attributed to Ni atoms, and conductivity losses arising from the coupled carbon matrix. Ultimately, the composite exhibits exceptional electromagnetic wave absorption performance: at a thickness of 2.26 mm, it achieves a minimum reflection loss value of − 50.1 dB along with an effective absorption bandwidth reaching up to 6.0 GHz. In summary, this work presents a novel strategy for enhancing broadband absorption capabilities in electromagnetic wave absorbing materials.

Long-lived 137Cs/134Cs, 60Co, and 63Ni with high-energy β/γ emissions are primary toxic fission/activation products in nuclear-contaminated water, causing irreversible damage to the ecological environment and human health. Rapid remediation of these radionuclides emerges as an urgent task, while the deficiencies in adsorption kinetics, selectivity and acid resistance hinder the material innovation for practical applications. Herein, we have developed a hybrid cadmium/tin selenide adsorbent K3.4(CH3NH3)0.45(NH4)0.15Cd2Sn3Se10·3.4H2O (CdSnSe-2K) for the enrichment and sequestration of Cs+, Co2+, and Ni2+ ions. CdSnSe-2K features a unique open-framework constructed from the interlinkage of T2-{M4Se10} (M = SnIV/CdII) supertetrahedral clusters and M bridges, accelerating the ion transfer in the tunnel system and thus affording quick kinetics (k2 = 9.706, 0.182, 0.099 g mg−1 min−1 for Cs+, Co2+, Ni2+). Remarkably, the removal rate RCs increases to 98.54% in just 2 min and 99.57% in 5 min (equilibrium), which is responsible for an ultra-high distribution coefficient Kd of 2.31 × 105 mL g−1. The soft-Lewis basic Se component endows CdSnSe-2K with a fantastic adsorption selectivity for Cs+, Co2+, and Ni2+ against various coexisting cations and anions in complex actual water environments even including the highly salty sea water medium. CdSnSe-2K exhibits a fantastic acid/base tolerance over pH = 2–13, and the maximum adsorption capacities qCsm, qCom and qNim under neutral condition are 218.08 ± 80.08, 43.95 ± 16.57 and 42.53 ± 16.50 mg g−1, respectively. In addition, CdSnSe-2K single crystals were also employed as the stationary phase for the fabrication of an ion exchange column, which shows an elimination efficiency above 99% in the long-term filtration for Cs+ (8200 BVs), Co2+ (4000 BVs) and Ni2+ (4000 BVs). This work not only highlights CdSnSe-2K as a promising Cs+, Co2+, and Ni2+ scavenger in radionuclide remediation, but also provides a supertetrahedral cluster-based construction strategy for open-framework selenide materials with enhanced adsorption kinetics, selectivity, and acid resistance.

In this study, five novel ionic liquids (ILs), namely [N888][Cyanex 272], [N888][P507], [N888][Cl], [N888][NO3], and [N888]2[SO4], were synthesized through an organic acid–base reaction, followed by separation using rotary evaporation. Their structures were confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, showing full consistency with theoretical predictions and no impurity peaks. Under identical extraction conditions, the ILs exhibited the following separation efficiency order for Co2+ from Ni2+: [N888]2[SO4]>[N888][Cl] > [N888][P507] > [N888][Cyanex 272]>[N888] [NO3]. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that these differences in separation performance arose from variations in the ionic radii of the IL anions. With a simple single-stage extraction under optimized conditions, [N888]2[SO4] enabled near-complete separation of Co2+ from Ni2+, achieving an extraction efficiency of 99.5 ± 2.14% and a separation factor approaching + ∞. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed that the extraction process was endothermic and nonspontaneous. The Co2+ -loaded IL-based extraction phase was efficiently stripped using diluted sulfuric acid, with a stripping efficiency of 99.3 ± 0.57%. Using sodium hydroxide as a precipitant, the solid powder of Co(OH)2 was obtained from the Co2+-containing aqueous phase. Co(OH)2 was characterized qualitatively and quantitatively by XRD and ICP-OES, and its morphology was also analyzed using SEM. The recycled IL-based extraction phase, after activation with dilute sulfuric acid, was analyzed via FT-IR spectroscopy. This regenerated IL-based extraction phase was reused for the separation of Co2+ from Ni2+, showing no degradation in performance after three cycles. Based on these findings, a process flowchart was designed for the efficient preparation of Co(OH)2 from minerals or secondary resources using the [N888]2[SO4]-based extraction phase.

In Liquid Phase Catalytic Exchange (LPCE), the strength and hydrophobicity of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer (SDB) carrier are key limitation factors for practical applications. In this paper, a surface-modified nano-SiO 2 (KH570-SiO 2 ) was used to improve the strength and hydrophobicity of SDB. Then, copolymerization of KH570SiO 2 with St, DVB to produce KH570-SiO 2 /SDB, Divinyl benzene (DVB), styrene (St) glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) to produce KH570-SiO 2 /GMA/SDB. The two kinds of new carriers were characterized by scanning electron microscope, static water contact angle, N 2 adsorption–desorption, transform infrared spectrometry and thermogravimetric analysis. Compared with SDB, both KH570-SiO 2 /SDB and KH570SiO 2 /GMA/SDB show better performances, such as a higher hydrophobicity(147° and 145°, respective), a higher strength(107.11 N and 115.37 N, respectively), a better thermal stability(373.8 and 435.67 ℃, respectively), and a larger specific surface area(487.253 and 463.673 m 2 /g, respective). The Nickel ion was uesd as the model ion of Platinum ion. And then the Ni 2+ adsorption performances of KH570-SiO 2 /SDB and KH570-SiO 2 /GMA/SDB were studied. Experiments show that KH570-SiO 2 /GMA/SDB has a much higher adsorption rate and a bigger adsorption amount. Refinement indicates that the adsorption behaviors of SDB, KH570-SiO 2 /SDB and KH570-SiO 2 /GMA/SDB with Ni 2+ are according to pseudo-first-order kinetic. The adsorption of SDB and KH570-SiO 2 /GMA/SDB obeyed Freundlich isotherm, while the adsorption of KH570-SiO 2 /SDB obeyed Langmuir isotherm.

Room temperature phase instability of cubic CsPbI 3 perovskite nanocrystals is one of the notorious limitations for practical applications in optoelectronic fields. Herein, the incorporation of Ni 2+ ions into CsPbI 3 lattice was successfully achieved by a modified hot-injection method using nickel acetate as doping precursor. The as-prepared Ni 2+ (3.3 mol%): CsPbI 3 nanocrystals exhibited an improved, near-unity (95%~100%) photoluminescence quantum yield owing to the enhanced radiative decay rate and the decreased non-radiative decay rate. Additionally, Ni-doping was demonstrated to stabilize CsPbI 3 lattice and the Ni 2+ : CsPbI 3 film and colloidal solution can retain their red luminescence up to 15 days and 7 months in atmosphere, respectively. First-principle calculations verified that the significantly improved optical performance and stability of Ni 2+ : CsPbI 3 nanocrystals arose primarily from the increased formation energy due to the successful doping of Ni 2+ in CsPbI 3 . Benefiting from such an effective doping strategy, the as-prepared Ni 2+ -doped CsPbI 3 perovskite nanocrystals can function well as efficient red-light emitter toward the fabrication of high-performance perovskite LED with a peak external quantum efficiency of ~7%.

A facile approach has been developed to synthesize Fe3O4/PMG (poly (N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide-co-glycidyl methacrylate)) core/shell microspheres using distillation–precipitation polymerization. Treating PMG shell with iminodiacetic acid (IDA) and Ni2+ yields composite microspheres of Fe3O4/PMG/IDA–Ni2+. The Ni2+ ions loaded on the surface of microspheres provide abundant docking sites for immobilization of histidine-tagged proteins. The high saturation magnetization of Fe3O4/PMG (23 emu/g), determined by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), allows an easy separation of the microspheres from solution under an external magnetic field. The composite microspheres were used to purify two His-tagged cellulolytic enzymes (Cel48F and Cel9G) directly from crude cell lysates with high binding affinity, capacity, and specificity. The microspheres can be recycled for many times without significant loss of binding capacity to enzymes. The immobilized enzymes on the surface of microspheres well retain their biological activities in degradation of cellulose. These materials show great potential in the biomedical and biotechnological applications that require low-cost purification of recombinant proteins and instant enzyme immobilization at an industrial scale.

Photo-initiated dispersion polymerization, a photochemical method for preparing poly (styrene-co-maleic anhydride) microspheres, is introduced for the first time in this paper. Ultraviolet lamp, ethanol/water mixture, 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile, and poly (vinylpyrrolidone) were respectively used as the light source, green solvent, initiator, and stabilizer in the preparation. After careful study of the influencing factors, formations, sizes and size distributions of the microspheres were found to systematically vary with light intensity and amount of reagents used. Under the optimal conditions, microspheres with the narrowest size distribution and sizes smaller than 1 μm were obtained. Based on the functional groups contributed by the MAH , an important application of the prepared microspheres in Ni 2+ adsorption was explored. Adsorption capacities were controlled by the MAH amount added in the microsphere preparation.
