Ion doping strategy is a promising method to enhance the efficiency of Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cells, however, most of the reported works focus on studying the single ion doping in CZTSSe absorber layers . Here, Li + &Ag + and Li + &Cd 2+ double-ion-doping strategy are applied to improve the microstructure and device performances. We found that the double-ion-doping strategy can obviously increase the grain size, reduce the thickness of fine-grain layers and enhance the device performances. Furthermore, the PCEs of Li + &Ag + and Li + &Cd 2+ doped CZTSSe solar cells are up to 8.87% and 8.39%, respectively. It shows an encouraging improvement of over 43.5% and 35.8% enhancement compared with the traditional method (6.18%), and significantly higher than single ion doping strategy (7.60%, 7.99% and 7.11% for Li + , Ag + , and Cd 2+ doped CZTSSe solar cells). This work provides a new solution to improve the microstructure and device performances of CZTSSe solar cells.

This work report the first AIE-based fluorescence sensor that can simultaneously detect three kinds of IIB elements (Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ and Hg 2+ ) in aqueous media. The thiourea-bridging bis-tetraphenylethylene ( Bis-TPE ) was synthesized by the condensation reaction of formyltetraphenylethylene and bis-thiosemicarbazide derivative in 82 % yield. Due to the AIE effect in the aqueous medium, the long-wavelength fluorescence was observed at 500–526 nm. It displayed high selective Zn 2+ -sensing ability with red-to-green fluorescence change, selective Cd 2+ -sensing ability with red-to-yellow fluorescence change and selective Hg 2+ -sensing ability with fluorescence enhancement, respectively. Moreover, it could detect simultaneously Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ and Hg 2+ in the mixed solution of these three kinds of cations by the fluorescence change with the assistance of Cl − and ATP. The sensing mechanism was confirmed as 1:1 stoichiometric ratio between host and guest. The detection limits were as low as 8.22×10 -8 M, 2.36×10 -7 M and 3.43×10 -8 M for Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ and Hg 2+ , respectively. These sensing abilities were applied as test strips for detecting Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ and Hg 2+ , and were used for living cell imaging, implying a high efficient and simple method for analyzing trace IIB elements (Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ and Hg 2+ ) simultaneously in complex environments and living bodies.

Cadmium ions have variable degrees of toxicity on the environment and organisms. An electrochemical sensor based on self-doped polyaniline (SPAN) modified Metal-organic Framework (SPAN@UIO-66-NH2) with high electron mobility was developed. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicated that doping of SPAN enhanced the electron transfer rate of UIO-66-NH2 in SPAN@UIO-66-NH2. The optimized Cd2+ sensor exhibited good linear response from 0.5 μg L−1 to 100 μg L−1, low detection limit of 0.17 μg L−1 (based on S/N = 3), good stability, and fast response time. It showed decent reliability for detection of trace Cd2+ in natural lake and urine samples.

In this study, bone char pretreated with hydrogen peroxide and traditional pyrolysis was applied to remove Cd2+from aqueous solutions. After hydrogen peroxide pretreatment, the organic matter content of the bone char significantly decreased, while the surface area, the negative charge and the number of oxygen-containing functional groups on the bone char surface increased. After being pyrolyzed, the specific surface area and the negative charge of the material were further improved. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of Cd2+adsorption were studied, and the influence of solution pH and the presence of ionic species were investigated. The experimental results showed that the samples with lower crystallinity exhibited less organic matter content and more surface oxygen-containing functional groups, resulting in stronger adsorption capacity. After being treated with hydrogen peroxide and pyrolyzed at 300 °C, the maximum adsorption capacity of bone char was 228.73 mg/g. The bone char sample with the lowest adsorption capacity(47.71 mg/g) was pyrolyzed at 900 °C without hydrogen peroxide pretreatment. Ion exchange, surface complexation, and electrostatic interactions were responsible for the elimination of Cd2+by the bone char samples. Overall, this work indicates that hydrogen peroxide-treated pyrolytic bone char is a promising material for the immobilization of Cd2+.

A green and effective strategy to prepare a novel lotus root-like three-dimensional (3D) bismuth/biomass derived activated carbon (Bi@BAC) composite was developed for simultaneous electrochemical sensing of Pb2+ and Cd2+. The BAC supports herein were prepared from naturally-abundant Platanus seeds chemically activation by KOH, with dense and uniform bismuth micro/nano-sized particles successfully anchored on the carbon substrate through microwave-assisted hydrothermal treatment and subsequent carbothermal reduction process. Simultaneous electrochemical detection of Pb2+ and Cd2+ using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) was performed with the novel composite modified carbon paste electrode (CPE). Under optimized experimental conditions, the Bi@BAC/CPE demonstrated good linear response for both two target metal ions in the concentration range of 0.5 to 50 μg L−1, with limits of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) of 0.13 and 0.08 μg L−1 for Pb2+ and Cd2+, respectively. Moreover, the modified electrode displayed high resistance to interference, long-term stability and good reproducibility. The Bi@BAC/CPE also demonstrated satisfactory recovery level for the detection of target metal ions in real water samples.

In the field of non-invasive detection methods, sweat analysis has been increasingly capturing the interest of researchers due to its potential for clinical and health monitoring applications. While the detection of various substances in sweat has been extensively documented, the detection of heavy metal ions such as cadmium (Cd 2+ ) and lead (Pb 2+ ) is challenging due to their low concentrations, often falling below 100 ppb. Sweat testing also faces challenges such as variability in sweat production and evaporation rates, biological fouling, and sensor sensitivity decay, which significantly affect the accurate measurement of biomarker levels in sweat. Traditionally, machine learning in the biosensing domain is often employed for final data analysis and fitting, but its application in optimizing experimental conditions is less common. In this study, we developed a sensing platform based on Ti 3 C 2 T x /Bi 2 Se 3 nanoflower-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) for the detection of Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ in simulated sweat. The sensor demonstrates a broad detection range and relatively low limits of detection (LOD), with a linear detection range of 10-150 ppb and an LOD of 2.88 ppb for Cd 2+ , and a linear detection range of 5-150 ppb and an LOD of 3.45 ppb for Pb 2+ . In addition, an LSBoost–NGO machine-learning framework was employed to model the dependence of the stripping current on key experimental variables and to identify operating conditions that maximize analytical performance. These results demonstrate the potential of Ti 3 C 2 T x /Bi 2 Se 3 /SPCEs combined with machine-learning-guided optimization for sweat-based monitoring of trace heavy metal ion..

Coal gasification slag (CGS), a massive industrial solid waste, possesses inherent adsorptive potential that remains underutilized due to pore blockage by amorphous siliceous phases. Conventional modification strategies typically rely on energy-intensive high-temperature processes. Herein, we report a facile, low-temperature alkaline activation approach to transform CGS into a high-efficiency adsorbent (denoted NCGS) for Cd2+removal. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution was employed under mild conditions (90 °C) to selectively etch siliceous species, thereby generating a porous architecture and enriching surface oxygen-containing functionalities. Orthogonal experimental design identified optimal synthesis parameters (1 mol/L NaOH, solid–liquid ratio of 1:30 g/mL, 12 h), yielding NCGS with significantly enhanced textural properties. The adsorption isotherm was well described by the Langmuir model, with a maximum capacity of 87.06 mg/g at pH 6.0, while kinetic studies indicated the adsorption process could be described by pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Comprehensive characterization via SEM-EDS, FTIR, and XPS elucidated a multi-mechanistic adsorption pathway mainly involving ion exchange (Na+/Cd2+) and coordination complexation. Life cycle assessment analysis revealed that NCGS production generates 11.23 kg CO2eq emissions, with transportation accounting for 88%. This study presents an energy-saving and environmentally friendly strategy to unlock the adsorptive potential of CGS, providing a highly promising waste-based adsorption material for the remediation of Cd2+-contaminated water.

This study demonstrates a facile one-step carbonization route for converting loofah sponge into magnetic porous nitrogen-doped biochar (FeN@BC-KOH) for the removal of Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , and Cu 2+ from aqueous solutions. The proposed method integrates KOH activation, nitrogen doping and Fe-based magnetization in a single step, thereby simplifying the preparation procedure relative to conventional multi-step modification strategies. Systematic characterizations confirm the formation of mesoporous structure with high specific surface area, along with abundant oxygen/nitrogen functional groups and Fe-N x active sites. The synergistic contribution of porous structure, nitrogen-containing moieties and magnetic confers the biochar with enhanced adsorption capacity and facile magnetic separation performance. Adsorption conditions were optimized using Box-Behnken Design (BBD). Kinetic investigations demonstrated that the adsorption process adhered to a pseudo-second-order model (R²>0.9688). Meanwhile, the isotherm data were most appropriately characterized by the Freundlich model (R²>0.8723), implying that multilayer adsorption governed by chemisorption was predominant. The principal adsorption mechanisms encompassed complexation, precipitation, ion exchange. FeN@BC-KOH demonstrated excellent reusability (8 cycles). This work provides a green, scalable, and high-efficiency strategy for valorizing agricultural waste loofah sponge into high-performance adsorbents, which exhibits good application potential in the remediation of actual heavy metal-contaminated water.

Cadmium ions (Cd 2+ ) as a class of widespread pollutants, can cause Irreversible damage to population health and habitat quality with small amounts of Cd 2+ . an electrochemical sensor for Cd 2+ detection was developed based on AuPt NPs@ZnNi-MOF bimetallic nanocomposites combined with hyperbranched hybridization chain reaction (HCR) signal amplification strategies. The sensor employed AuPt NPs@ZnNi-MOF as the electrode modification material, which promoted the electron transport on the electrode surface and significantly increased the current signal by 49.16 %, as well as provided a large number of active sites for the sensor. 3D DNA walker was initiated in the presence of the target, generating many DNA single strands that triggered catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA) at the electrode. The production of intermediate strand output is induced, which leads to the construction of hyperbranched HCR. Hyperbranched HCR amplification demonstrated high efficiency, producing numerous long double-stranded chains and creating abundant embedding sites for electroactive molecules. These signal amplification strategies led to a remarkable 2.52-fold enhancement in the current signal. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the detection range of the sensor was 0.001–500 nmol/L, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.221 pmol/L. Furthermore, the sensor exhibits excellent specificity, reproducibility, and stability, and has been successfully applied for the detection of Cd 2+ in tap water and tea, as well as achieving satisfactory results in the analysis of quality control samples such as rice flour and pork liver powder.

A highly effective synthetic clinoptilolite (SCP) was developed and assessed for its potential in the simultaneous removal of Cd 2+ , Ni 2+ , Mn 2+ , Sr 2+ , and Fe 3+ from an aqueous solution. The present work explored the influences of SCP dosage, initial metal ion concentrations, temperature, contact time, and pH value on the adsorption performances of these metal ions. The results revealed exceptionally high adsorption capacities, reaching 2000, 1720, 1875, 1510, and 22 mg/g for Ni 2+ , Fe 3+ , Cd 2+ , Mn 2+ , and Sr 2+ , respectively. The specific surface area of SCP increased from 31.4 to 44.7 m 2 /g after five cycles. The adsorption mechanism and structure assessment were elucidated by XRD patterns and SEM images, showing that the Fe 3+ adsorption conformed to the Langmuir isotherm, while that of Mn 2+ , Cd 2+ , Sr 2+ , and Ni 2+ followed the Freundlich isotherm model with the adsorption kinetics best described by the pseudo-2nd-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic parameters showed endothermic behavior for Cd 2+ , Ni 2+ , Mn 2+ , and Sr 2+ , exothermic for Fe 3+ , and spontaneity for all metals except Sr 2+ . SCP retained over 90 % of its adsorption capacity after five regeneration cycles, maintaining structural integrity under thermal, acidic, and recycling conditions. These findings highlight SCP’s robust characteristics, reusability, and potential for sustainable heavy metal removal from wastewater.

Graphical Core–shell magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @C nanoparticles are functionalized with sulfonic and carboxylic acid groups and employed to capture heavy metal ions in aqueous media. The magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @C nanoparticles can be easily separated with an external magnet and possess rapid removal kinetics, high adsorption capacities, and removal efficiencies for Pb 2+ , Hg 2+ , and Cd 2+ ions from aqueous solution. Core–shell magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @C nanoparticles functionalized with sulfonic and carboxylic acid groups were synthesized and employed to capture heavy metal ions in aqueous media. The Fe 3 O 4 cores possess unique magnetic properties for adsorbent separation, and the –SO 3 H and –COOH groups attached to the surface of the carbon shells determine the efficiency of heavy metal ion removal. Batch adsorption experiments showed that Pb 2+ , Hg 2+ , and Cd 2+ ions can be completely and quickly removed by the Fe 3 O 4 @C nanoparticles. The equilibrium was established within 5 min, and the maximum adsorption capacities of the Fe 3 O 4 @C nanoparticles toward Pb 2+ , Hg 2+ , and Cd 2+ ions were 90.7, 83.1, and 39.7 mg/g, respectively. The removal efficiencies were 96.3, 98.1, and 93.8 % for Pb 2+ , Hg 2+ , and Cd 2+ ions, respectively. This work provides a facile and general approach to synthesize magnetic functional nanocomposites for wastewater treatment.
