Elevated cholesterol is a major cardiovascular risk factor, but current detection methods are resource-intensive. Non-invasive point-of-care testing is promising yet limited by sensitivity, and the blood-saliva cholesterol correlation requires further investigation. We developed an electrochemical biosensor featuring cholesterol oxidase immobilized on screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) modified with conductive Au-Ag@Au core-shell nanoparticles and Prussian blue/poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PB-PEDOT) nanocomposites. Morphological, spectroscopic, and electrochemical analyses (including impedance spectroscopy, heterogeneous electron transfer kinetics, and active surface area quantification) confirmed the biosensor superior conductivity. The biosensor achieved exceptional performance: a broad linear range (0.01–1.0 mM), low detection limit (3.3 μM amperometric LOD; 2.8 μM via EIS), and high sensitivity (57.3 μA/mM·cm 2 amperometric; 781 Ω/mM·cm 2 impedimetric). Clinical validation demonstrated excellent agreement with standard colorimetric methods in human serum and saliva for cholesterol tested in biological compounds and robust stability. A strong serum-saliva correlation (Pearson's correlation coefficient as 0.928) supports noninvasive monitoring feasibility. The anti-interference capability of the proposed biosensor was evaluated against common interferents, including glucose, lactic acid, uric acid, ascorbic acid, bovine serum albumin, cysteine, and their mixture. The results confirmed its high specificity against these typical biological matrix components. Particularly significant is its non-invasive detection capability, which eliminates the need for painful blood draws or invasive sample collection procedures. A key innovation lies in the synergistic integration of conductive Au-Ag@Au core-shell nanoparticles with PB-PEDOT nanocomposites on SPCEs, which significantly enhances electron transfer and catalytic activity, yielding an exceptionally sensitive and stable sensing platform. The biosensor sets itself apart by achieving superior analytical performance concurrently with robust clinical validation in both serum and saliva, firmly establishing its potential for reliable non-invasive cholesterol monitoring.

Polypropylene-based chelating fibers grafted with acrylic acid and acrylamide side chains were simply synthesized, and subsequently employed as adsorbents for Pb(II) removal selectively from aqueous solutions. The assynthesized fibers were characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and water contact angle. The adsorption results revealed that kinetics data were fitted by a pseudo-second order model (semi-saturation time 6.2 min), thereby suggesting chelating interaction to be the main mechanism during the adsorption process. The adsorption isotherm data fitted well with a Langmuir model. The thermodynamic study revealed the adsorption of Pb(II) as an exothermic spontaneous chemisorptive process. Coexisting Na(I), Mg(II), and Al(III) in solution showed negligible effects in the adsorption process. As confirmed by carboxyl amination, the carboxylate oxygen preferentially chelates coexisting Ca(II) over Pb(II), thereby leading to lower extents of Pb(II)-O chelate interaction. The spent fibers were effectively and repetitively (five cycles) regenerated while maintaining high performance upon treatment with 1 M hydrochloric acid solutions.

Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash is hazardous due to its high heavy metal content, particularly Pb, which is highly mobile and poses significant health risks. This study synthesized polyethyleneimine-derived dithiocarbamates (PDTCs) with multiple sulfur-containing functional groups for chelation-based Pb(II) stabilization in MSWI fly ash leachate-related systems. The dissolved Pb(II) removal efficiency exceeded 95% under optimized conditions, indicating effective chelation-based stabilization of mobile Pb(II). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to characterize the properties of Pb–PDTC precipitates and elucidate the chelation mechanism. The results demonstrate that coordination between -CSS- groups in PDTCs and Pb(II) was the main mechanism for Pb(II) chelation and stabilization. Among the tested PDTCs, PDTC-600 exhibited the best overall Pb(II) stabilization performance due to better accessibility of active -CSS- groups. Under acidic conditions, a lower pH destabilized the chelates. Despite this, PDTCs maintained high dissolved Pb(II) removal efficiency in aqueous batch systems, indicating their potential for chelation-based Pb(II) stabilization in leachate-related systems. This study provides a mild and potentially cost-effective strategy for chelation-based Pb(II) stabilization in MSWI fly ash leachate-related systems. Future research should further verify the performance of PDTCs in real, highly alkaline fly ash leachate and optimize chelator molecular weight to balance Pb(II) stabilization efficiency, precipitate stability, reagent safety, and environmental compatibility.

Water vapor plays a pivotal role in both the crystallization of CsPbBr-based perovskites and the operational stability of devices incorporating these materials. However, previous studies on this topic have been limited to indirect ex situ observation. Here, we utilize in situ environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) to directly monitor the dynamic growth of CsPbBr-based perovskite at a water vapor pressure of 609 Pa (equivalent to 75% relative humidity at 4 °C) under a controlled gas atmosphere. Our real-time in situ observation captures the concomitant and direct crystallization of CsPb 2 Br 5 and CsPbBr 3 , challenging the conventional phase-transition-mediated formation pathway. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the dual emission in the mixture of CsPbBr 3 and CsPb 2 Br 5 originates from distinct emissive centers, in contrast to the self-absorption and re-emission mechanism in rod-like CsPbBr 3 . These findings offer direct evidence of water-vapor-mediated crystallization and their impact on material performance, thereby paving the way for both the design of environmentally stable perovskite-based devices and future ESEM investigations into complex multiphase processes.

Lead (Pb) contamination in wastewater poses a persistent environmental challenge. Developing effective, sustainable adsorbents from renewable resources is a key goal of cleaner production. Herein, a bio‑based organic–inorganic composite hydrogel (I‑Hydrogel) was constructed using amino‑functionalized montmorillonite nanosheets (AMMT) combined with lignin (a renewable aromatic polymer), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and polyethyleneimine (PEI). In this design, AMMT provided inorganic adsorption-active sites, while the PVA/PEI network served as a three-dimensional scaffold to immobilize lignin and AMMT, generating a hierarchically porous framework enriched with nitrogen- and oxygen-containing functionalities. The optimized hydrogel exhibited a maximum Pb(II) adsorption capacity of 190.22 mg/g. The adsorption process was better described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models and was thermodynamically favorable and endothermic within the investigated temperature range. Spectroscopic analyses indicated that Pb(II) uptake originated from a synergistic mechanism involving cation exchange at clay-associated sites and coordination interactions with amino, imine, hydroxyl, and other oxygen-containing groups in the hybrid network. This work demonstrates an effective strategy for integrating functional clay nanosheets with renewable bio‑based components into recoverable adsorbent platforms, offering a sustainable materials design approach that aligns with cleaner production principles for heavy‑metal removal from aqueous systems.

Highly crystalline ETS-10 zeolite was prepared with a surface area of 250 m 2 /g and an average pore size of 1.67 nm. • Adsorption was highly pH-dependent, reaching peak efficiency at pH 5.0 for Pb(II) and pH 6.0 for both Cu(II) and Cd(II). • The Sips model best described the adsorption without being limited by concentration. • The adsorption kinetic of Pb(II) follows the PSO model, whereas the ID model controls the removal of Cd(II) and Cu(II). • The removal of Pb, Cu, Cd occurred via stoichiometric Na+/K+ ion exchange within 12-membered rings and surface complexation. Understanding adsorption kinetics and mechanisms play an instrumental role to determine the speed, efficiency, and pathways by which adsorbents remove pollutants. In this study, kinetics and mechanisms of the adsorption of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) onto ETS-10 are investigated based on the combination of experimental, theoretical models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, Pseudo-First-Order (PFO), Pseudo-Second-Order (PSO), Intraparticle diffusion (ID)), and modern analytical techniques (XRD, SEM-EDX, FT-IR and BET-BJH). Obtained results show that Sips models give the best fit with experimental data for three ions, while kinetic of Pb(II) adsorption follows PSO and kinetics of Cu(II) and Cd(II) uptakes follow ID models. The adsorption rates of Pb(II) > Cd(II) > Cu(II) during the diffusion process on the surface, whereas the ones of Pb(II) > Cu(II) > Cd(II) in the intraparticle diffusion process. The mechanisms of intraparticle diffusion, ion-exchange and complexion play mainly roles in the removal of Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II).

In recent years, the surge in industrialization and urbanization has led to the release of a significant amount of heavy metal ions into water. These ions, when present in drinking water, can enter the human body and cause irreversible health problem. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have drawn considerable attention for their outstanding ability to remove these heavy metal ions. However, MOF powders tend to aggregate in water, reducing their adsorption efficiency and potentially leading to secondary environmental pollution. In this regard, the development of MOF composites that are highly adsorptive, recyclable, and maintain stable dispensability in water is crucial for heavy metal ions removal. Herein, the in situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) on melamine sponge (MS) using a secondary growth method is reported. The resultant composite sponges exhibit high efficiency in adsorbing Pb(II) and Cu(II) from water and maintain good reusability. These findings offer a promising method in efficiently eliminating Pb(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions.

The electrocaloric (EC) effect in ferroelectric materials has attracted extensive attention because of its high efficiency and potential applications in chip cooling. In this work, we successfully prepared a Pb(Sc 0.25 Ta 0.25 In 0.25 Nb 0.25 )O 3 (PSINT) ceramic via a solid-state reaction method with high-polar entropy. Next, the prepared ceramics were quenched at 1050 °C for various durations. The grain size of the quenched PSINT samples initially decreased to 0.39 μm and then gradually increased to 0.61 μm with a quenching time of 50 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the PSINT ceramics indicate that the PSINT sample transforms from the tetragonal (pseudo-cubic) to an R-3C rhombohedral phase. The measurements of the electrocaloric effect revealed a significant adiabatic temperature change (Δ T ) of approximately 1.98 K at 60 kV cm −1 and room temperature with a quenching time of 40 h. This value is 0.5 K higher than that of untreated PSINT ceramics. Moreover, the B-site atoms of the PSINT high-polar-entropy ceramics changed from a long-range ordered phase to a disordered phase after quenching. This study provides a new technical approach for room-temperature cooling devices by designing B-site disorder in relaxor ferroelectric ceramics.

Pb and Zn pollution for soil are becoming more and more serious, strengthening the treatment of contaminated soils is conducive to the sustainable development of soil. In this study, the humus-like substances modified montmorillonite (HLS-MMT) were synthesized to remediate the Pb and Zn-contaminated soils. The application of HLS-MMT in simulated and actual contaminated soil were carried, and the long-term stability of HLS-MMT was evaluated. The results showed that the mobility, bioavailability and leachability of heavy metals (HMs) significantly decreased after remediating by HLS-MMT. Compared with MMT, the TCLP leaching ratio ( TLr ) of Pb and Zn reduced by 9.27–13.96% and 10.3–13.18%, while the DTPA effectiveness ( DEr ) Pb and Zn reduced by 9.11% and 8.76% in simulated soil, respectively. Moreover, the aging experiments proved that HLS-MMT possessed a stability to resistance the freeze-thaw cycles, wet and dry alternation, and acid rain leaching. This article provides some theoretical basis for the soil remediation .

Methyl phenyl carbonate (MPC) is one of the versatile carbonates; in particular, it is an important component in lithium-ion batteries. In recent years, the catalytic synthesis of MPC has become an important topic, but the development of highly active catalysts is still challenging. In this study, SBA-15-loaded nano-sized Pb–Bi catalysts with different Pb/Bi molar ratios were prepared by deposition–precipitation to improve the efficiency and selectivity. To investigate the relationship between the structure and performance of the catalysts, XRD , BET, SEM-EDS, HRTEM , H 2 -TPR, and XPS characterization, as well as catalytic activity and stability tests, were conducted. Results revealed that Pb–Bi/SBA-15 can efficiently catalyze the synthesis of MPC under solvent-free conditions, with the highest catalytic activity obtained over 6 Pb–1Bi/SBA-15. SBA-15 with a large pore size and a high specific surface area was suitable as catalyst carrier, and the average diameter of Pb–Bi oxide particles was ∼3.57 nm. The addition of Bi led to the improved dispersion of active components, which were highly and evenly dispersed on the SBA-15 surface. Furthermore, an appropriate proportion of Pb and Bi on SBA-15 was conducive to the considerable enhancement of the catalytic activity. Besides, Pb–Bi/SBA-15 also exhibited good durability and recyclability, making it a promising catalytic material for the synthesis of various carbonates.

In this study, a novel modified nanofiltration (NF) membrane was fabricated to treat radionuclide-contaminated water by incorporation of Prussian blue (PB), graphene oxide (GO) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) into polysulfone (PSf) substrate. In this work, PB provided a large number of adsorption sites for the membrane, GO improved the Donnan effect of the polyamide (PA) layer by enhancing the negative charge, and PEG promoted the uniform dispersion of PB through interparticle electrostatic interaction and steric hindrance while increasing the adsorption sites on the surface of channels in the substrate by adjusting the pore structure. A conceptual model for the role of substrate in interfacial polymerization was then proposed. The modified membrane achieved efficient rejection of cesium (Cs + , 99.5%) and strontium (Sr 2+ , 97.5%). Its Cs + rejection rate still remained high (about 96%) even in the treatment of natural surface water containing various inorganic salts and organic matters. What’s more, the modified membrane exhibited excellent stability in both strong acid solutions and long-term operation. Then, potassium chloride (KCl) solution was applied to regenerate the modified membrane, which achieved high generation rate as compared to traditional acid regenerants. The excellent filtration performance inferred that the novel GO/PB-modified NF membrane holds great application potential for the application of simultaneous removal of radioactive Cs + and Sr 2+ from contaminated water.

Removal of toxic chemicals from the environment using novel adsorbents is of great concern. In this study, a novel composite of molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3 )-engineered biochar (MoO 3 -BC) was derived from corn straw and synthesized for the removal of Pb(II) from water. The pyrolysis temperature of 600 °C was suitable for the thermal self-assembly of MoO 3 -BC. Although MoO 3 -BC had lower S BET (59.3 m 2 /g) than the pristine BC (157.8 m 2 /g), it had a stronger adsorption affinity to Pb(II). The Pb(II) removal capacity of MoO 3 -BC was 229.87 mg/g at pH 4.0, and the adsorptive removal of Pb(II) was fit using a pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir model. High temperature favored the removal of Pb(II) by MoO 3 -BC; However, the removal of Pb(II) was inhibited with increasing the ion strength. The MoO 3 -BC revealed an acceptable stability and reusability, since the removal efficiency of Pb(II) remained above 80.7%, even after 8 cycles. The MoO 3 -BC effectively reduced ≥99.9% of Pb(II) in the polluted irrigation water. The Pb(II) removal mechanisms involved surface electrostatic attraction, ion exchange and surface complexation. These findings conclude that the MoO 3 -BC is a novel composite that can be used for the removal of Pb from contaminated water . More studies are needed to investigate the potentiality of MoO 3 -biochar composite for the removal of other metals from water in a mono and competitive sorption system.
