A novel α-FeOOH modified wheat straw biochar (α-FeOOH@BC) was developed and the findings of the current study showed that α-FeOOH@BC is an efficient material for the simultaneous removal of cations (Cd(II)) and anions (As(III)) from aqueous solutions. The SEM, FTIR, and XRD analysis proved that α-FeOOH@BC was covered by α-FeOOH. In the single adsorption system, the maximum adsorption capacities of α-FeOOH@BC for Cd(II) and As(III) were 62.9 and 78.3 mg/g, respectively. In the dual adsorption system, the maximum adsorption capacities of α-FeOOH@BC for Cd(II) and As(III) dropped to 39.3 and 67.2 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption capacities of Cd(II) and As(III) by α-FeOOH@BC were much higher by BC and α-FeOOH both in single and dual adsorbate system. The adsorption results were well fitted by the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetics models. The Cd(II) and As(III) co-adsorption on α-FeOOH@BC had a competitive effect, and the dominant adsorption mechanisms were co-precipitation and ion exchange. Our study showed that α-FeOOH@BC could be an effective remediation material for Cd(II) and As(III) co-adsorption from aqueous environment.

An ultrasensitive electrochemical sensor has been constructed for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) based on DNA-functionalized Cd-MOFs-74 as cascade signal amplification probe under enzyme-free conditions. Interestingly, the introduction of an auxiliary probe did not disturb the detection of SNP targets, but could bind more Cd-MOFs-74 signal elements to enhance the different pulse voltammetry electrochemical signal 2~3 times as compared to sensing system without auxiliary probe, which obviously improves the sensitivity of the proposed sensor. Experimental results taking p53 tumor suppressor gene as SNP model demonstrated that the proposed method can be employed to sensitively and selectively detect target p53 gene fragment with a linear response ranging from 0.01 to 30 pmol/L (detection limit of 6.3 fmol/L) under enzyme-free conditions. Utilizing this strategy, the ultrasensitive SNP electrochemical sensor is a promising tool for the determination of SNPs in biomedicine.

The sensitive detection and efficient removal of heavy metal ions with high toxicity and mobility are of great importance for the environmental monitoring and control. Here, a novel SnS-decorated Bi 2 O 3 nanosheets heterostructure was synthesized via a facile hydro/solvothermal strategy. The as-prepared SnS-Bi 2 O 3 nanocomposites presented impressive merits of the high surface area, mesoporous channels and fast electron transfer for the electrochemical reactions . And the synergistic interaction between SnS and Bi 2 O 3 significantly improved the “deposition-stripping” process involving electron transfer, mass diffusion and phase transition. With the unique characteristics, the SnS-Bi 2 O 3 nanocomposites exhibited improved sensitivity and robust stability on the electrochemical detection of Cd(II) and Pb(II) with low LODs of 1.50 nM and 1.40 nM, respectively, and were successfully applied on the detection of Cd(II) and Pb(II) in tap water and lake water samples. Furthermore, the electrochemical removal performance towards Cd(II) and Pb(II) was achieved as well. These SnS-Bi 2 O 3 nanocomposites could serve as an efficient platform on the detection and removal of heavy metal ions in environmental electrochemistry .

Pluronic F127 is a thermosensitive polymer that has been extensively studied and utilized in biomedicine. To improve the gelation properties of F127, α-cyclodextrin was introduced by physical interactions, such as forming inclusion complexes, hydrogen bond self-assembly, and hydrophobic interactions, to prepare F127−α-CD hydrogels. This study explored the temperature-dependent sol–gel transition behavior, gelation mechanism, interior morphology, and controlled release of the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil. Results showed that hydrogel could be obtained at 1.0%–8.0% weight content of F127. The cross-linking points in this system were PEO−α-CD microcrystalline region and micelle with poly(propylene oxide) as the core. The network inside F127−α-CD hydrogels made it stable and conducive for controlled release. Therefore, this hydrogel is a promising drug release system.

Recently, the pollution and damage caused by antibiotics in water have aroused serious concerns. In this situation, it is extremely important to develop a highly effective approach to detect antibiotics in water. In this contribution, we built a Cd-MOF material with stable fluorescence properties, using bbi = 1,4-bis(2-methyl-imidazol-1-yl)butane and H2L = 1,2-phenylenediacetic acid as organic ligands and Cd(NO3)2·4H2O as the metal node. The highly selective response of this MOF probe to ceftriaxone sodium (an antibiotic) can reach up to the ppb level in water, along with a fast response time, acid and alkali resistance, and anti-interference ability.

In this study, a high flux loose nanofiltration (NF) membrane was fabricated for the desalination of dye wastewater through a facile method which combined doping and surface grafting. First, PES ultrafiltration substrate was prepared via non-solvent induced phase separation by introducing multi-hydroxyl β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) into the casting solution as hydrophilic additive. Then, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles were grafted uniformly on membrane surface with the assistance of 1, 6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI), resulting in the enhancement of surface hydrophilicity and separation performance of the resultant membranes. Remarkably, the membrane prepared at optimized conditions achieved a high pure water flux (52.0 L·m −2 ·h −1 at 0.2 MPa) and high permeate flux for dyes (e.g. 30.5 L·m −2 ·h −1 for Congo Red at 0.2 MPa). It also exhibited high rejection for dyes (e.g. 97.4% for Congo Red) and high transmittance of salts (e.g. 94.0% for Na 2 SO 4 ). Moreover, the membrane possessed good antifouling performance with a high flux recovery ratio of 93.7% after fouled by humic acid (HA). The results indicated that the novel loose NF membrane had an impressive potential application for dye wastewater treatment.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been considered to be a promising metal-free photocatalyst, although the high recombination rate of charge carriers and poor absorption of visible light have limited its applications. In order to overcome these problems, an interlayer composite photocatalyst that comprised β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), oxygen-doped C3N4 (O-C3N4) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was successfully constructed for the highly enhanced photodegradation of glyphosate in this study. The structure and morphology, optical properties, and photoelectrochemical properties of the prepared photocatalyst were characterized via a series of characterization techniques. The average fluorescence lifetime of the composite photocatalyst was extended from 6.67 ns to 7.30 ns in comparison with that of g-C3N4, which indicated that the composite photocatalyst enhanced the absorption of visible light and also inhibited the recombination of electron–hole pairs. The mass ratio of MoS2 that corresponded to O-C3N4/MoS2-5 enabled the highest removal rate under simulated sunlight irradiation, which was almost twice that achieved using pure g-C3N4. Relative species scavenging experiments revealed that ·O2− was the main species during the process of photodegradation. Besides, a toxicity test indicated that glyphosate became less toxic or non-toxic after photodegradation. This study provided an effective, feasible and stable photocatalyst driven by simulated sunlight irradiation for the highly enhanced photodegradation of glyphosate.

In this study, the novel adsorbent PVA-TA-βCD was synthesized via thermal cross-linking between polyvinyl alcohol and β-cyclodextrin. The characterization methods SEM-EDS, FTIR, and XPS were adopted to characterize the adsorbent. The effect of pH, contact time, initial concentrations, and temperature during the adsorption of Pb(II), Cd(II), and Mn(II) onto the PVA-TA-βCD was also investigated. In a single-component system, the data fitted well to pseudo-second-order, and film diffusion and intra-particle diffusion both played important roles in the adsorption process. As for isotherm study, it showed a heterogeneous adsorption capacity of 199.11, 116.52, and 90.28 mg g −1 for the Pb(II), Cd(II), and Mn(II), respectively. Competition between the ions existed in a multi-component system; however, owing to the stronger affinity of the PVA-TA-βCD for Pb(II) relative to Cd(II) and Mn(II), the Pb(II) adsorption onto the PVA-TA-βCD was less affected by the addition of the other metals, which could be effectively explained by the hard and soft acid and base theory (HSAB). Furthermore, PVA-TA-βCD showed good reusability throughout regeneration experiments.

In this work, a novel electrochemical sensor for Cd(II) detection with differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) is fabricated based on hollow ZnO@nitrogen-doped carbon (H-ZnO@NC) polyhedra, which are prepared from ZIF-8 via in situ tannic acid etching and a subsequent calcination process. The as-obtained H-ZnO@NC exhibits a polyhedral morphology with a well-defined hollow structure and a uniform distribution of elements C, N, O, and Zn in the shell. The unique structure of H-ZnO@NC can provide an enlarged surface area and abundant active sites. Moreover, ZnO has a strong affinity for heavy metals, which can enhance the adsorption capacity of H-ZnO@NC for Cd(II) in the accumulation step of stripping voltammetry, and thus improve the electrochemical sensing performances. As expected, the H-ZnO@NC-based sensor achieves a wide linear range of 0.3–300 μg L−1, a low detection limit of 0.1 μg L−1 (S/N = 3), and exhibits good selectivity as well as high stability and reproducibility. Moreover, the proposed electrochemical sensor can be applied for the determination of Cd(II) in real water samples, obtaining satisfactory results.

In this study, a crosslinked yeast/β-cyclodextrin polymer (Y–β-CDP), for use as an effective adsorbent for removal Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution, has been innovatively prepared by grafting β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) onto the surface of baker's yeast (BY) and thiomalic acid as a crosslinker. Several characterization techniques, such as SEM equipped with an EDS analyzer, FTIR, XRD, and XPS were employed characterize the Y–β-CDP. The impact of various operating parameters, such as pH, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration of metal ions, contact time and solution temperature, as well as adsorption kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics were systematically investigated. The adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) on Y–β-CDP reached equilibrium in 25 min, and the kinetic process conforms to the pseudo-second order model. The Langmuir model was used to describe the adsorption isotherm data better than the Freundlich model. The predicted maximum adsorption capacity at 25 °C for Pb(II) and Cd(II) was 150.08 and 102.80 mg g−1, respectively, when the initial concentration of metal ions was 120 mg L−1. The thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption procedure of Pb(II) and Cd(II) onto Y–β-CDP was spontaneous and endothermic. Furthermore, regeneration experiments demonstrated that Y–β-CDP had excellent recyclability. Together, all results suggested that Y–β-CDP could potentially be a promising adsorbent in the purification of water contaminated with heavy metal ions.

Herein, the ECL behaviors of precise mono-Cu+ ion doped Cd–In–S supertetrahedral chalcogenide nanoclusters (Cu@CdInS NCs) were investigated, and the effect of mono-Cu+ ions at the vacancy site of NCs on ECL emission performance was also elucidated. Precise mono-Cu+ ion doping not only induced new ECL emission at 596 nm with enhanced efficiency as high as 21.72% relative to [Ru(bpy)3]2+, but also improved acid tolerance of the ECL performances of NCs. In addition, a simple, fast and label-free dopamine ECL sensor with excellent selectivity was achieved.

Chrysotile nanotubes (ChNTs) synthesized under hydrothermal conditions were functionalized by surface grafting in toluene with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS). The mercapto functionalized ChNTs (ChNTs-SH) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N 2 adsorption–desorption. The adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) on ChNTs-SH was investigated systematically by evaluating the effects of contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial pH and temperature. Initial pH could play an important role on the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) onto ChNTs-SH. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of Pb(II) and Cd(II) on ChNTs-SH indicated that the kinetic data of adsorption reactions were well described by the pseudo-second-order model (R 2 = 0.9960 and 0.9970, respectively) and the adsorption isotherms were fitted well by the Langmuir model ( q m Pb(II) = 83.96 mg/g, q m Cd(II) = 39.23 mg/g at 298 ± 1 K). The thermodynamic parameters (Δ G , Δ H and Δ S ) indicated that the adsorption process of Pb(II) and Cd(II) on ChNTs-SH was spontaneous and endothermic. ChNTs-SH could obviously improve the adsorption capacity for Pb(II) by 225.4% and for Cd(II) by 123.5% as compared with ChNTs. Overall, ChNTs-SH could provide a potential remedy for heavy metal contamination in wastewater.
