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.

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.

Heavy metals are prevalent environmental contaminants in pest habitats. This study investigates the tolerance of Hyphantria cunea larvae to β-cypermethrin under cadmium (Cd) stress. Exposure to Cd markedly enhanced larval tolerance to β-cypermethrin. The P450 enzyme was found to be crucial in triggering this cross-tolerance. Notably, Cd exposure significantly upregulated the expression of HcCYP333A29 and HcCYP6AE184 both before and after β-cypermethrin treatment. Silencing these genes reduced the β-cypermethrin tolerance in Cd-exposed larvae. Furthermore, overexpression of HcCYP333A29 and HcCYP6AE184 significantly improved the tolerance of Sf9 cells and Drosophila to β-cypermethrin. Silencing of HcDicer-1, a key gene in the miRNA synthesis pathway, significantly diminished the β-cypermethrin tolerance in Cd-treated larvae. The miR-2739 controlled overexpression of HcCYP333A29, while miR-2854 controlled HcCYP6AE184 overexpression, both of which were essential for β-cypermethrin cross-tolerance in H. cunea larvae under Cd exposure. Collectively, Cd exposure induces cross-tolerance to β-cypermethrin in H. cunea larvae through miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulation.

A newly developed cadmium coordination polymer, [Cd(HEA)(L1)] n ( 1 ), was prepared via a hydrothermal method and demonstrated to function as a multifunctional fluorescent probe for detecting heavy metal ions and antibiotics in aqueous solutions. The compound exhibits an unique two-dimensional layered structure that self-organizes into a robust three-dimensional framework, showcasing exceptional thermal stability and significant solvent tolerance. Fluorescence studies emphasized the outstanding metal ion detection capabilities of complex 1 , which demonstrated a detection limit of 0.01434 μM for Fe 3+ and 0.05949–0.06148 μM for Cr 6+ . Furthermore, the material exhibited selective fluorescence quenching towards specific antibiotics, with detection limits of 0.0369 μM for Ornidazole (ODZ) and 0.0687 μM for Nitrofurazone (NFZ). Notably, the material retained its fluorescent properties over five consecutive usage cycles. Comprehensive experimental studies and theoretical calculations show that the fluorescence quenching process involves the synergistic action of multiple mechanisms, mainly including: static quenching, dynamic quenching, competitive absorption, and light-induced electron transfer pathways. This work presents a promising strategy for sensing trace heavy metals and antibiotics in water systems, offering valuable contributions to the development of advanced environmental monitoring methodologies.

The utilization of nanotechnology based ameliorative strategies has emerged as an effective method to reduce the potential toxicity of environmental stressors on crops. However, there is limited information available regarding the interaction of silica-coated iron oxide nanocomposite (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 , NCs) with plants under abiotic stress. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different doses of silica-coated iron oxide nanocomposite (NCs) (25/50 mg Kg -1 ) in mitigating Cd phytotoxicity in rice. The results revealed that Cd-contaminated soil (30 mg Kg -1 ) inhibited plant growth, reduced physiological attributes, and induced ultrastructural changes in stressed plants. The presence of Cd in the soil also reduced rhizospheric soil pH and soil enzyme activities while increased Cd bioavailability and its uptake in plants. However, the foliar application of silica coated iron oxide NCs stimulated plant biomass production, chlorophyll biosynthesis, and antioxidant capacity. The application of NCs significantly decreased the activities of lipid peroxidation markers (MDA, EL and LOX) and reduced levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation ( • OH, O 2 ·− and H 2 O 2 ) in stressed plants. Additionally, NCs application influenced Cd accumulation in different tissues, potentially through modifying chemical profile of root exudates (amino/organic acids), which facilitated Cd precipitation through chelation and its sequestration in vacuoles via modulating the expression of metal transporters. Furthermore, the application of NCs indirectly regulated Cd fractionation, solubility, mobility and Cd enrichment in the rhizosphere. This study demonstrates the effective mitigation of Cd toxicity in rice plants by applying silica-coated iron oxide NCs. The results provide valuable insights into nanotechnology-based approaches for improving plant stress tolerance and offer promising strategies for sustainable agricultural practices.

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.

Layered double hydroxides (LDH) show great promise for the remediation of heavy metals and metalloids in aqueous media and soils. In this study, we propose a green synthesis approach for LDH utilizing industrial waste granulated ground blast furnace slag (GGBS) and readily available magnesium oxide (MgO), and applied these green synthesized LDH for As and Cd remediation in both water and soil. The synthesized LDH were characterized via multiple approaches including SEM , HRTEM-EDS, TGA , XRD, and FTIR, demonstrating that the addition of 20% MgO in the raw materials (LDH b ) substantially improved the stability of LDH compared to LDH synthesized solely from pure GGBS (LDH a ). Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the adsorption efficiency of LDH a and LDH b for Cd(II) and As( V ) under varying initial solution pH conditions . Results showed that as the pH increased, calcium leaching remained high while aluminum leaching gradually increased. The adsorption isotherms and kinetic studies further revealed that LDH b displayed better adsorption performance for As( V ) across different pH conditions, while both LDH showed a 100% removal rate of Cd(II) at pH ranging from 6 to 9. Both LDH a and LDH b exhibited promising immobilization effects on As and Cd in contaminated soils, with LDH a showing superior stabilization performance toward As, immobilizing 83.8% of bioavailable As in the farmland soil and 78.7% in the industrial site soil, compared to LDH b 's 54.8% and 50.6%, respectively. The findings of this study hold promise for the practical application of LDH as an efficient and environmentally friendly remediation material for contaminated water and soils containing toxic metal(loid)s.

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.

Heavy metals are significant environmental pollutants that contribute to widespread contamination. This study demonstrated that Cd transfer through the food chain imparts cross-tolerance to λ-cyhalothrin in Hyphantria cunea larvae. Cd-induced activation of the P450 detoxification system, particularly HcCYP6AE179 and HcCYP9A286, was identified as a critical mechanism for the development of pesticide cross-tolerance in Cd-exposed H. cunea larvae. The dual-luciferase reporter assays, RNAi, and agonist treatment experiment confirmed that HcAhr (Aryl hydrocarbon receptor) upregulated the expression of HcCYP6AE179 and HcCYP9A286. Additionally, H2O2 generation under Cd stress served as a key upstream signal for activating the HcAhr-HcCYP6AE179/HcCYP9A286 detoxification pathway. The nucleic-acid-based pesticides targeting HcAhr, HcCYP6AE179, and HcCYP9A286 exhibited superior stability, biosafety, and gene silencing efficacy. Treatment with these nucleic acid pesticides significantly reduced the tolerance of H. cunea larvae to λ-cyhalothrin in the CK and Cd groups. This work introduces novel approaches for mitigating pesticide cross-tolerance induced by heavy metals.

Two homologous new mixed-metal phosphates K 2 PbBi 2 (PO 4 ) 2 (P 2 O 7 ) ( I ) and Rb 2 CdBi 2 (PO 4 ) 2 (P 2 O 7 ) ( II ) were successfully synthesized in A 2 BBi 2 (PO 4 ) 2 (P 2 O 7 ) (A = K, Rb, B = Pb, Cd) system through the traditional high-temperature solid-phase method. The single crystal structures of the two compounds are shown to be the unique three-dimensional (3D) framework composed of different types of layers, but not isomorphic. We compared series compounds A 2 PbBi 2 (PO 4 ) 2 (P 2 O 7 ) (A = K, Rb, Cs), which are isomorphic and crystallize in the same space group Pnma . It is noteworthy that they are distinct different in degree of structural disorder, which is tuned by A-site cations. The effect of A-site cations is recognized by analyzing the disorder degree in three related structures and other available 182 mixed-metal phosphates. To the best of our knowledge, such structural analysis is rarely reported in inorganic phosphates and the cation modulation strategy can be used to guide structural disorder according to the difference-value (D-value) of cation radii. Furthermore, the syntheses, thermal analysis, relevant spectroscopic measurements and theoretical calculations for I and II compounds were also discussed. Graphical Two new mixed-metal phosphates K 2 PbBi 2 (PO 4 ) 2 (P 2 O 7 ) and Rb 2 CdBi 2 (PO 4 ) 2 (P 2 O 7 ) were firstly reported and the cation size effect has substantial influence on the crystal structural disorder combining with the title compounds and 182 phosphates.

Improving the biocompatibility and water dispersibility of hydroxyapatite (HAP) is an effective way to expand its application in biomedicine. Here, we present a nanosystem (HAP-β-CD-HPG) that is constructed by riboflavin sodium phosphate (HE) functionalized hydroxyapatite (HAP) and hyperbranched β-cyclodextrin (β-CD-HPG) through a simple, mild and rapid approach. Firstly, the successful construction of HAP-β-CD-HPG nanosystem is confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and so on. Next, Doxorubicin (DOX) is loaded onto HAP-β-CD-HPG with a high encapsulation potency (60.3%) and further use for the simultaneously cell-imaging and controlled release of the cytotoxic drug DOX. Furthermore, the pH-triggered DOX release process in A549 cancer cells can be visualized dynamically by tracking the fluorescence of HAP-β-CD-HPG and DOX. This work both provides a new protocol for the construction of dual-function nanosystem for imaging of cell cytoplasm and drug delivery via a simple approach and promotes a potential application of this diagnosis-therapy integrated system for cancer treatment in the future.

In this paper, a capillary coated with poly(glycidyl methacrylate) nanoparticles (PGMA NPs) was prepared and applied to construct a capillary electrophoresis (CE) enantioseparation system with glucosyl- β -cyclodextrin (Glu- β -CD) as a chiral selector. The PGMA NP coating can be easily introduced through a simple ring-opening reaction. Two basic drugs were used as models to evaluate the separation performance of the PGMA coating. Under the optimal conditions selected, the separation of the two enantiomers was obtained.
