The scarcity of arable land and the problem of food security urgently called for a strategy of Remediation-by-Production (RBP). Biochar is a promising method for addressing Cd-contaminated soils, but the time required for remediation and the variability of long-term performance have a direct impact on the realization of the RBP strategy. We have developed a novel approach for remediating cadmium-contaminated flooded soil by utilizing lignin biochar (LBC) in combination with safe rice cultivation. The addition of 1 % LBC achieves efficient Cd passivation (CP: 90.89 %) before rice Cd uptake peaks. Meanwhile, LBC can increase soil organic matter and alter microbial community structure, decreasing the relative abundance of soil pathogenic bacteria from 5.12 % to 4.03 % while raising nutritional bacteria from 15.18 % to 28.82 %. Furthermore, LBC successfully reduced the accumulation of Cd in rice grains by 31.3 % ∼ 54.6 %, making rice dwarf, sturdy, and greener, and lowering the health risk coefficients of Cd across various age groups by Monte Carlo simulations. This study elucidated the critical role of humic substances of LBC in remediation time and performance and laid a solid theoretical foundation for promoting the application of biochar in soil contamination remediation and simultaneously realizing the safe production of crops.

A new type of voltammetric sensor material has been fabricated via a facile self-assembled method. A modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by phenylsulfonic groups grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT-SO3H) with dye molecules via Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) assembling (CNT-SO3H/dye-LB/GCE) were prepared for detecting trace levels of cadmium (Cd2+) ions by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The synergy effect between CNT-SO3H and dye as well as orderly aggregates in composite LB films contributed to greatly enhancing the determination performance. Under selected conditions, voltammetric response of the fabricated electrochemical sensor in 0.1 M acetate buffer solution containing Bi3+ ions for Cd2+ ions was linear with its concentration in the range 0.1 to 1.2 μM, with a detection limit of 0.08 μM. In addition, the preparation process of self-assembled composite film modified electrodes was simple, non-toxic, exhibiting higher sensitivity and potential application prospects in aspects of heavy metal ions detection and environmental analysis.

Combined photothermal/photodynamic therapy is a promising strategy to achieve an enhanced anticancer effect. However, hypoxia is one of the representative characteristics of the microenvironment of solid tumors, which not only attenuates the therapeutic effects but also promotes tumor invasion and metastasis. Herein, a PtBi-β-CD-Ce6 nanoplatform for the generation of sustained O2 was constructed for more effective tumor therapy. In detail, the catalase (CAT)-like nanozyme, PtBi, which could decompose H2O2 to produce O2, was modified with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). O2 would be converted into 1O2 by PtBi-β-CD-Ce6 for enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT) under 650 nm laser irradiation. In addition, by reason of excellent absorption in the near-infrared-II (NIR-II) region, PtBi-β-CD-Ce6 was used for photoacoustic imaging (PA) and photothermal imaging (PT)-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) in the NIR-II biowindow. Furthermore, PtBi-β-CD-Ce6 could be elected to serve as a contrast agent for X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging due to the apparent X-ray attenuation capability of the Pt and Bi elements themselves. Therefore, by integrating the advantages of overcoming the hypoxia function and photothermal effect into a single nanoplatform, PtBi-β-CD-Ce6 showed an immense possibility in multimodal imaging-guided combined PDT/PTT.

Bacteria–phyllosilicate complexes are commonly found in natural environments and are capable of immobilizing trace metals. However, the molecular binding mechanisms of heavy metals to these complex aggregates still remain poorly understood. This study investigated Cd adsorption on Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis , Gram-negative Pseudomonas putida and their binary mixtures with montmorillonite using surface complexation model, Cd K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). We have shown that larger amounts of Cd are adsorbed by B. subtilis than by P. putida at pH<∼6, and Cd sorption that binding to phosphate groups plays a more important role in P. putida than in B. subtilis . This remind us that we should consider the microbe species when predict the biochemical behavior of trace metals in microbe-bearing environments. The observed Cd adsorption on the binary bacteria–clay composites was more than that predicted based on the component additivity approach. When taking bacteria–clay (1:1 mass ratio) as a representative example, an approximately 68%:32% metal distribution between the bacterial and mineral fraction was found. Both the EXAFS and ITC fits showed that the binding stoichiometry for Cd-carboxyl/phosphate was smaller in the binary mixtures than that in pure bacteria. We proposed that the significant deviations were possibly due to the physical-chemical interaction between the composite fractions that might reduce the agglomeration of the clay grains, increase the negative surface charges, and provide additional bridging of metals ions between bacterial cells and clays.

Graphical Cd-doped Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 was synthesized by room-temperature grinding. [CuI 4 ] and [CdI 4 ] tetrahedrons act as photoluminescent centers separately, resulting in the emission colour manipulated by not only Cd feeding amount but also excitation wavelength. The as-prepared Cd-doped Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 was made into anti-counterfeiting ink and printed on paper. The pattern shows different colours when the excitation wavelength increases from 310 nm to 330 nm. With the development of intellectual properties, concern about advanced anti-counterfeiting is accumulating, which conventional single-modal luminescence can no longer satisfy. As one of rapidly developing 0D materials, copper-based perovskite shows great potential to realize multiple luminescent centers for complex emissions. In this work, Cd was doped into Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 and showed resultant emission at 560 nm which surprisingly showed a red-shifted excitation peak from that of intrinsic self-trapped emission, resulting in excitation-wavelength dependent emission. When the excitation wavelength increased from 290 nm to 330 nm, the emission of Cd-doped Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 changed from deep blue to cold white and finally yellow. Afterwards, Cd-doped Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 was mixed with polystyrene to prepare anti-counterfeiting ink for silk-screen printing. Meanwhile, Cd-doped Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 maintains outstanding stability after doping, no matter under ambient, continuous UV radiation or high-temperature environment. The intensity can be almost totally recovered after heating-and-cooling cycles. This study lays groundwork for future research into multiple luminescent center manipulation in 0D materials.

A novel l -arginine modified magnetic bioadsorbent (Fe 3 O 4 -CS-L) was fabricated to remove Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solution by adsorption method. Several techniques such as FT-IR, SEM, XRD, TGA and VSM were used for characterizing the Fe 3 O 4 -CS-L. The results showed that the Fe 3 O 4 -CS-L was successfully prepared. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the parameters affecting the adsorption of the novel magnetic bioadsorbent to metal irons, such as adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics. The adsorption equilibrium was commendably described by pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir model was better than Freundlich model to describe adsorption isotherm data and the predicted maximum adsorption capacities of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) were 256.41 mg/g, 156.99 mg/g and 128.63 mg/g, respectively. Competition adsorption results showed that the adsorption order of Fe 3 O 4 -CS-L to metal ions was Pb(II) > Zn(II) > Cd(II). Moreover, regeneration studies suggested that Fe 3 O 4 -CS-L has a good recyclability. All the results showed that Fe 3 O 4 -CS-L could be a promising material in environment pollution cleanup.

NH3 is the most important gaseous alkaline pollutant, which when accumulated at high concentrations can have a serious impact on animal and human health. More importantly, NH3 emissions will react with acidic pollutant gases to form particulate matter (PM2.5) in the atmosphere, which also poses a huge threat to human activities. The use of adsorbents for NH3 removal from emission sources or air is an urgent issue. However, there are difficulties in the compatibility between high adsorption capacity and recyclability for most conventional adsorbents. In this work, a structural transformation strategy using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is proposed for large-scale and recyclable NH3 adsorption. A series of M(BDC) (M = Cu, Zn, Cd) materials can transform into one-dimensional M(BDC)(NH3)2 after NH3 adsorption, resulting in repeatable adsorption capacities of 17.2, 14.1, and 7.4 mmol/g, respectively. These MOFs can be completely regenerated at 250 °C for 80 min with no adsorption capacity loss. Besides, breakthrough and cycle tests indicate that Cu(BDC) and Zn(BDC) show good performance in the removal of low concentrations of NH3 from the air. Overall, combining the advantages of high adsorption capacity and recyclability due to the reversible structural transformation, Cu(BDC) and Zn(BDC) can be employed as ideal adsorbent candidates for NH3 removal.

Tannin was crosslinked with paraformaldehyde to prepare tannin-phenolic polymer(TP), TP immobilized on cellulose (TPPC) was prepared by the cross-linking reaction of TP and cellulose with epichlorohydrin as crosslinking agent. Tannin was crosslinked prior to being immobilized on cellulose, which could increase the effective phenolic hydroxyl content in cellulose skeleton and improve the adsorption property of TPPC for metal ions. The maximum adsorption capacity of TPPC for Cd(II) and Cu(II) ions were 80.11 mg/g and 55.97 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption equilibrium data for the metal solutions fitted the Langmuir model well. The adsorption rate data fitted well to a Pseudo-second-order model. The TPPC has potential application value in the field of metal wastewater treatment.

The advancement of efficient photocatalysts is essential for tackling global energy and environmental issues. In this work, a unique sheet-on-sheet Cd(OH)2/CdS photocatalyst was synthesized via a facile solution strategy, demonstrating significantly improved photocatalytic performance for H2 generation and Cr(VI) reduction. The optimal 5% Cd(OH)2/CdS obtained an impressive H2 production rate of 3475 μmol·g-1·h-1 under visible light, marking a 6.3 times increase compared to CdS. Additionally, the kinetics of Cr(VI) reduction were markedly accelerated, with a rate constant of 0.2803 min-1, representing a 5.7 times improvement over pure CdS. Moreover, the 2D/2D Cd(OH)2/CdS photocatalyst exhibited exceptional stability, maintaining high photocatalytic activity over multiple reaction cycles. Experimental findings and DFT calculations revealed the charge transfer mechanism between CdS nanosheets and Cd(OH)2 cocatalyst. This work provides insights into designing high-performance CdS-based nanophotocatalysts for water splitting and environmental remediation.

Marine biofouling causes significant economic losses, and conventional antifouling methods are often associated with environmental pollution. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), as a clean energy source, has gained increasing attention in recent years. Meanwhile, electrocatalytic 2e−oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for H2O2production has received growing interest. However, the majority of current studies are conducted on acidic or alkaline electrolytes, and research on 2e−ORR in neutral NaCl solutions remains rare. Here, a bimetallic Zn-Cd zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZnCd-ZIF) is rationally designed to achieve chloride-resistant 2e−ORR catalysis under simulated seawater conditions (pH 7.5, 3.5% Cl−). Experimental results demonstrate that the ZnCd-ZIF catalyst exhibits an exceptional H2O2selectivity of 70% at 0.3 VRHE, surpassing monometallic Zn-ZIF (60%) and Cd-ZIF (50%). Notably, H2O2production reaches 120 mmol g−1in a Cl−-containing neutral electrolyte, exhibiting strong resistance to structural corrosion and Cl−poisoning. This work not only pioneers an effective strategy for designing ORR catalysts adapted to marine environments but also advances the practical implementation of seawater-based electrochemical H2O2synthesis.

This study investigated the effects of the antidepressant sertraline hydrochloride (Ser-HCI) on rice physiology when combined with arsenic (III) and cadmium. Hydroponic experiments revealed that combined lower concentrations (0.2 and 0.6 mg L -1 ) of Ser-HCl and As (III) or Cd increased rice biomass and reduced pH and low molecular weight organic acids. The fluorescence intensity was enhanced with Ser-HCl and As-only treatments, with a significant difference ( p < 0.05) in the dissolved organic matter index. There was a decrease in endophyte-specific operational taxonomic units, with proteobacteria dominating the rice root endophytes. The addition of Ser-HCl resulted in a 535% increase in the Verrucomicrobiota , which was positively correlated with malic acid and negatively correlated with pH. Functional annotation highlighted alterations in carbohydrate metabolism pathways. This study provides insights into the interactive effects of Ser-HCl on rice when combined with As (III) and Cd, addressing gaps in our understanding of the impact of antidepressants on plant systems.

In the S-scheme heterojunction, photogenerated electrons from the oxidation photocatalyst recombine with holes from the reduction photocatalyst, enhancing redox potential and boosting photocatalytic activity. However, the recombination mechanism at these interfaces remains largely unexplored. In this study, we design a Cd 0.9 Zn 0.1 S/ZnWO 4 (CZS/ZWO) S-scheme heterojunction model guided by theoretical predictions. Remarkably, a nano-tetrapod-shaped CZS/ZWO S-scheme heterojunction is synthesized via a simple solvothermal and ultrasonic self-assembly method, achieving hydrogen evolution performance under visible light irradiation for 3 h that is 3.69 times higher than CZS alone and 4.63 times higher than ZWO alone. Further theoretical calculations simulate the charge transfer mechanism, electron density localization, and transition states in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction. Finally, integrating theoretical and experimental data, an S-Zn channel is proposed within the CZS/ZWO S-scheme heterojunction, clarifying the electron transfer pathway. This study provides a detailed understanding of charge transfer dynamics in S-scheme heterojunction.
