The development of thin film composite (TFC) membrane with a high flux, a good fouling resistance and superior rejections remains a challenging task for membrane researchers, due to the inherent permeability-selectivity trade-off of the polymeric selective layer. In this work, highly permeable TFC membranes with excellent fouling resistance are developed by employing hydrophilic pore-containing monomers – ethylenediamine (EDA)-substituted cyclodextrins ( α , β , γ -CD-EDA) in interfacial polymerization. Effects of CD-EDA type on the surface properties, pore size, separation performance and antifouling properties of TFC_CD-EDA membranes are investigated by considering the differences in CD cavity size and EDA substitution degree. Superior FO flux up to 26–28 LMH (0.5 M Na 2 SO 4 draw solution) and exceptional antifouling properties with relatively low flux reduction (< 20%) and high flux recovery rate (> 91%) can be achieved by TFC_CD-EDA membranes, owing to the unique structure of CD-EDA with the intramolecular cavity and abundant hydrophilic hydroxyl groups. Furthermore, TFC_ β -CD-EDA membrane is applied for the enrichment of high-concentration BSA solution by taking advantage of its high flux, low reverse draw solute leakage and excellent fouling resistance. The obtained high BSA enrichment efficiency and high-quality BSA suggest a great potential of TFC_CD-EDA membrane in this aspect.

A novel cellulose/TiO2/β-CD hydrogel with high photocatalytic antibacterial activity and sustained release of drug was prepared. TiO2 sol with a diameter of about 9 nm in this hydrogel was the photoantibacterial agent. β-CD can significantly enhance photoantibacterial activity and the sustained-release effect of this hydrogel. The structure and property of this hydrogel composite were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were selected as model bacteria to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the composite hydrogel under natural light irradiation and darkness, respectively. The in vitro release experiment used curcumin as a model drug in PBS buffer solution. The influence of β-CD on the antibacterial activity and sustained-release effect of the composite hydrogel was investigated. The results showed that the hydrogel composite presented a good photoantibacterial property, while the antibacterial activity can be neglected under the condition of no light. The complete release of curcumin from the composite was achieved after 120 h. Therefore, the hydrogel system has the characteristics of low cost and high effect, which could be used for an antibacterial sustained-release material.

Highly luminescent CdTe quantum dots (QDs) is a typical luminescent material with great application potential. The photoluminescence (PL) and stability of the QDs depended strongly on Cd precursors, ligand (e.g. thioglycolic acid TGA) and preparation conditions. In this paper, CdTe QDs were prepared using Cd precursors with various molar ratios of TGA/Cd at different conditions. The composition of Cd-precursors depend strongly on the molar ratios of TGA/Cd and storage time due to the formation of Cd-TGA clusters which affects strongly the surface states of the QDs. The effect of the preparation conditions of Cd-precursors (e.g. molar ratios of TGA/Cd) on the PL peak wavelength, the full width at half maximum of PL spectra, PL quantum yields (PLQYs), fluorescence lifetime , and stability were tested in detailed. Interestingly, the PLQYs of the QDs prepared using a large molar ratio of TGA/Cd remarkably increased after Cd precursor stored in dark conditions for long time. This confirms that Cd-TGA clusters in the precursors drastically affected the synthesis of the QDs. The mechanism was discussed in detailed. These aqueous CdTe QDs with high PLQYs were obtained using a molar ratio of TGA/Cd of 1.25. In addition, the PL peak position of the QDs was red-shifted with increasing temperature, but is back to the initial value after cooling down to room temperature . Cycle test indicates red-emitting QDs reveal high stability.

Predicting the sublethal effects of pollutants to aquatic organism is essential in realistic chemical risk assessment. However, only a few dynamics models for sublethal endpoints are available. Here, we investigated the toxic effects of the essential metal Cu and the nonessential metal Cd on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under both single and combined exposure, compared the effectiveness of different effect endpoints as toxic effect factors, and developed a Dynamic Energy Budget toxicology (DEBtox) model to predict the sublethal effects of Cu and Cd on C. reinhardtii . The results showed that the chlorophyll fluorescence parameter is a better toxic effect indicator than others for short-term exposure (<24 h), while algal cell growth is preferred for long-term exposure (2–6 days). The developed DEBtox model could successfully predict single metal toxicity to C. reinhardtii, while the combined metal DEBtox model slightly overestimates the joint toxicity of Cu-Cd due to the antagonistic effect of Cu-Cd on C. reinhardtii. This study is helpful to understanding and better predictions of metal sublethal toxic effects on aquatic organisms.

Metal-hydroxyquinoline-halogen (MqX, M = Cd, Cu; q = 8-hydroxyquinoline; X = Cl, Br, I) nanowires are synthesized via a sonochemical-assisted method. The elemental analysis (EA), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) support an M/q/X ratio of 1:1:1. The electron microscope images reveal a typical CdqX and CuqX nanowire diameter of 30–50 nm and a nanowire length of 400–600 nm. In addition, the synthesis of the MqX nanowires is only observed when there is an excess of halide ions (X/q molar ratio of 3 or greater). This halide deficiency results in the formation of micrometer-sized Mq 2 sheets. We demonstrated the conversion of the MqX nanowires to Mq 2 micro-sheets in an ultrasonic bath of 1 M 8-Hq ethanol solutions (50%, w / w ) at 50 °C for 2 h, but not vice versa. The MqX nanowires exhibited excellent properties for photoluminescence, electrochemiluminescence (ECL), and photoelectrochemistry (PEC). The CdqBr and CdqI nanowires were coated onto a glass carbon and a fluorine-doped tin oxide glass electrode to develop the above ECL and PEC methods for the detection of H 2 O 2 and Cu 2+ , respectively. In the range of 2 to 14 μM, the ECL intensity of the CdqBr nanowires was inversely proportional to the concentration of H 2 O 2 with a detection limit of 0.26 μM. For Cu 2+ sensing, the photocurrent of the CdqI nanowires exhibited a linear response to Cu 2+ over the range of 2 to 16 μM of which a detection limit of 0.2 μM was observed.

In this study, a novel electrochemiluminescent (ECL) sensor for highly sensitive detection of trilobatin (Tri) was developed based on silver metal–organic frameworks (AgMOFs) and nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CDs). N-CDs exhibited high ECL intensity but poor ECL stability, while AgMOFs had a large specific surface area, high porosity, and good adsorption properties. Compositing both of them not only improved the ECL stability of N-CDs, but also enhanced the ECL strength of materials, so AgMOF@N-CD composites were used as the luminophore of the sensor. Under the optimized conditions, the ECL sensor showed a linear range of 1.0 × 10−7 M to 1.0 × 10−3 M for the detection of Tri, and the detection limit was as low as 5.99 × 10−8 M (S/N = 3). In addition, the sensor had excellent reproducibility, stability, and anti-interference ability. It could be utilized for the detection of Tri in real samples with recoveries of 95.78–102.26%, indicating that the constructed ECL sensor for detecting Tri possessed better application prospects.

The effective recognition and enrichment of trace polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the environment are currently challenging issues due to human health concerns. In this paper, a surface absorptive layer coating superparamagnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles for PCBs enrichment were prepared. This protocol involved the synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 particles through a solvothermal reaction and the covering of a silica layer bonded β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) over Fe 3 O 4 via a sol–gel process to construct core–shell Fe 3 O 4 @β-CD composites. β-CD was linked covalently to Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles to generate the binding sites, enhancing the stability of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles in water. Meanwhile, superparamagnetic Fe 3 O 4 core could be rapidly separated from matrix to simplify time-consuming washing extraction. The adsorption capacity of Fe 3 O 4 @β-CD composites to PCB28 and PCB52 in aqueous solutions was investigated. To estimate the theoretical binding site number of Fe 3 O 4 @β-CD, the obtained binding data were replotted according to Scatchard equation. The host–guest interaction between β-CD and PCBs were further examined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It provides theoretical evidence of β-CD as host molecule has a higher binding amount towards PCB-28 than PCB-52 on the basis of their optimized geometries and calculated complexation energies. The nanomaterial reported herein is an ideal candidate for various applications, including the recognition and removal of environmentally deleterious substances.

In this paper, Cd(OH)2 1D three-side nanobelt architectures have been fabricated through a facile two-phase reaction system. Considering their electropositive character proven by zeta potential measurement, the as-obtained Cd(OH)2 nanomaterials have been applied to capture negatively charged DNA. On the basis of the above results, the Cd(OH)2 nanomaterials have been employed for trapping negatively charged double-stranded DNA molecules (salmon sperm DNA). Assisted by the detailed observation of their DNA interaction results as well as through UV–vis spectroscopy, infrared imaging automatic target recognition (IRATR) and inductive coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) measurements, it has been clearly shown that this 1D nanoarchitecture can effectively trap and release DNA molecules without use of any other organic reagents. In addition, a miniaturized electrochemical DNA-releasing device based on the Cd(OH)2 1D three-side nanobelt architectures has been fabricated. Using this device, it is possible to recycle the Cd(OH)2 nanostructures. In addition, the Cd(OH)2 nanomaterials maintain their nanostructures, and no Cd2+ ions were released in repeated DNA separation and transfer processes, which demonstrate their practicality for DNA trapping.

In this study, Na1/3(Ca1−xCdx)1/3Bi1/3Cu3Ti4O12 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.0) ceramics were prepared via solid-state method. Effects of substitution of Ca2+ with Cd2+ on the microstructure, dielectric response, and non-Ohmic properties of Na1/3Ca1/3Bi1/3Cu3Ti4O12 ceramics were studied systematically. Results showed that all samples possessed single perovskite phase, in which grain size increased with the increase in Cd2+ doping content. Energy band gaps and activation energy first increased and then decreased, achieving their maxima (4.22 and 0.642 eV, respectively) at x = 0.2. Besides, dielectric constant of doped samples increased with the decrease in dielectric loss in frequency range of 40–106 Hz. Moreover, improvement in non-Ohmic properties was also observed with Cd2+ doping. The optimal dielectric properties (dielectric constant of ∼12,500, dielectric loss of ∼0.032 at 10 kHz, nonlinear coefficient of ∼3.42, and breakdown strength of ∼2.7 kV·cm−1) were achieved at x = 0.2. Dielectric response mechanism of ceramics followed internal barrier layer capacitor model while nonlinear ohmic properties were derived from Schottky barrier structure. Dielectric relaxation peaks at high temperatures (120 °C–220 °C) were associated with grain boundaries. Therefore, partial substitution of Ca2+ with Cd2+ can improve simultaneously dielectric and non-Ohmic properties of Na1/3Ca1/3Bi1/3Cu3Ti4O12 ceramics, which is conducive to their application in high-energy-density storage capacitors and varistors.

Pedunculoside, a triterpene saponin derived from variousIlexspecies, holds potential as a treatment for cardiovascular diseases. However, its clinical application is hindered by poor bioavailability, rapid elimination, and extensive intestinal metabolism to rotundic acid. To address these issues, a water-soluble inclusion complex of pedunculoside, namely, the beta-CD polymer inclusion complex of pedunculoside (pedunculoside–βCDP), was prepared in this study, and a comparative in vitro stability and pharmacokinetic behavior study was performed between pedunculoside and pedunculoside–βCDP. Both pedunculoside and pedunculoside–βCDP exhibited the highest stability in simulated gastric fluid and simulated intestinal fluid but were readily metabolized when co-incubated withBifidobacterium adolescentisandBifidobacterium breve. An LC-MS/MS analytical method for the simultaneous determination of pedunculoside and rotundic acid in rat plasma was successfully established, validated, and applied to investigate the pharmacokinetic behavior after rats were intravenously administered with pedunculoside or pedunculoside–βCDP. The results indicated that pedunculoside–βCDP could significantly improve the pharmacokinetic profile of pedunculoside by increasing plasma exposure, retarding elimination, and reducing intestinal metabolism. This study enhances our understanding of pedunculoside–βCDP’s metabolic fate and pharmacokinetic properties and potentially advances its further research, development, and clinical application.

Heavy metal composite pollution is becoming increasingly serious. In this study, CaAl-layered double hydroxide (CaAl-LDH) was prepared using the facile co-precipitating method, and was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Lead(II), Cd(II), and As(V) were selected as the representative heavy metals to evaluate the adsorption capability of the synthesized CaAl-LDH by the batch experiments. The maximal adsorption capability of CaAl-LDH for Pb(II), Cd(II), and As(V) was 786.6, 437.2 and 72.9 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption mechanism of Pb, Cd and As may be surface precipitation, isomorphic substitution and ion exchange within the interlayer spaces of LDH, respectively. In conclusion, this experiment provides a LDH material with fast and efficient adsorption performance for both anionic and cationic metals, indicating its potential for practical application in the remediation of heavy metal composite pollution.

The generation of humins by-products in biorefinery is often unavoidable. We here report the valorization of chitosan-derived humins for removal of heavy metal ions to enhance the atomic economy of the biomass conversion. Chitosan-derived humins were synthesized by catalysis of oxalic acid (OA), whereby the adsorption performance for Cd(II), Cr(III) and Cr(VI) was explored. The adsorption data were well fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, complemented by the Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models, revealing maximum adsorption capacities of humins for heavy metal ions as follows: 358.7 mg/g for Cr(VI), 152.6 mg/g for Cd(II), and 40.2 mg/g for Cr(III). The mechanistic studies revealed that the adsorption of Cd(II) and Cr(III) by humins mainly occurs through ion exchange (carboxyl groups) and surface complexation (hydroxyl, carbonyl, and amino groups). In comparison, the adsorption of Cr(VI) by humins involves electrostatic attraction, alongside ion exchange and surface complexation. After carbonization and activation, the specific surface area increased markedly, however the adsorption capacity decreased owing to reduced oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups. Competitive adsorption studies, industrial wastewater experiments, and cyclic adsorption tests demonstrate that humins exhibit remarkable adsorption performance even in complex environments. This work highlights that chitosan-derived humins are promising adsorbents for the remediation of heavy metal ions.
