In this work, a core–shell flame retardant (MF@β-CD) was prepared by coating β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin through in situ polymerization. Amino-functionalized attapulgite (ATP-NH 2 ) was also prepared via silane modification. MF@β-CD and ATP-NH 2 were incorporated with piperazine pyrophosphate (PAPP) to fabricate flame-retardant PP composites through melt blending. The incorporation of MF@β-CD and ATP-NH 2 improved the fire performance and thermal stability of PP composites. The PP composite containing the MF@β-CD/ATP-NH 2 system exhibited a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 33.8% and achieved a UL-94 V-0 rating. Compared with neat PP, the peak heat release rate and total smoke production decreased by 91.9% and 87.7%, respectively. Thermal analysis and char characterization suggested that the MF@β-CD/ATP-NH 2 system promoted the formation of a more continuous and stable char layer during combustion. The MF shell contributed to improved interfacial compatibility between β-CD and the PP matrix, while ATP-NH 2 helped maintain the integrity of the char structure. This work provides a feasible approach for improving the fire safety and condensed-phase stability of PP using bio-based flame-retardant components. Graphical Core–shell structured MF@β-CD was prepared via in situ polymerization and combined with amino-modified attapulgite (ATP-NH 2 ) and piperazine pyrophosphate (PAPP) to synergistically modify polypropylene (PP). The optimized composite achieved a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 33.8% and a UL-94 V-0 rating. The incorporation of ATP-NH 2 resulted in a distinct lamellar stacking structure on the char residue surface, with the layered silicate sheets of ATP-NH 2 uniformly embedded in the organic char matrix. This enhanced the structural stability and thermal shock resistance of the char layer, preventing its cracking and peeling during high-temperature combustion.

Cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) is an effective technique for remediating heavy metal-contaminated soils, yet its practical application in farmland is constrained by the high cement dosage commonly required and the limited chemical stabilization capacity of conventional systems. In this study, highly dispersible graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are introduced as multifunctional additives to enhance the S/S performance of ordinary Portland cement toward Pb- and Cd-contaminated soils at a cement dosage of 15 wt%. The incorporation of GQDs markedly improves heavy metal immobilization, and the optimum dosage of 0.4 wt% reduces the leaching concentrations of Pb and Cd by 81.7% and 84.4%, respectively, compared with the control sample. Meanwhile, Tessier fractionation shows that GQDs promote the transformation of both metals from labile fractions to more stable forms, with the residual fractions of Pb and Cd increasing from 37.53% to 42.74% and from 49.87% to 56.39%, respectively. Multi-scale characterization further reveals the underlying enhancement mechanism. XRD, FTIR, TG/DTG, and SEM analyses demonstrate that GQDs accelerate cement hydration, promote the formation of C–S–H gel, and refine the microstructure, thereby generating a denser solidified matrix that strengthens physical encapsulation. In parallel, aqueous removal experiments provide supporting evidence for the direct interaction between GQDs and heavy metal ions, while molecular dynamics simulations further reveal GQD-metal interfacial interactions at the atomic scale. These results demonstrate that GQDs enhance heavy metal immobilization through the synergistic effects of hydration promotion and surface chemical interaction, offering an effective strategy for developing high-efficiency low-cement S/S systems for contaminated farmland soil remediation.

Foodborne pathogens cause hundreds of millions of illnesses annually, underscoring the urgent need for advanced antimicrobial food packaging materials. The objective of this study was to develop a crosslinked cyclodextrin metal–organic framework, loaded with gold nanoparticles (CL-AuNPs@CD-MOF) and integrated into a PLA-Zein composite film with humidity-responsive antimicrobial release, as a sustainable and high-performance packaging solution to address the critical limitations of conventional materials in controlling microbial contamination during food storage. Therefore, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized via a green approach using CD-MOFs as stabilizers and p-coumaric acid as a natural reducing agent, then crosslinked with diphenyl carbonate (DPC) to produce CL-AuNPs@CD-MOF. Crosslinking conditions were optimized to a CD-MOF:DPC ratio of 1:1, 1080 min reaction time, and 80 °C, preserving the cubic morphology and crystalline structure while transforming burst release into sustained antimicrobial activity againstE. coliandS. aureusover 7 days. Then, the incorporation of CL-AuNPs@CD-MOF into PLA-Zein films yielded a composite packaging material with favorable mechanical and barrier properties, including a water vapor transmission rate of 539.44 g/m2·24 h and an oxygen permeability of 235.90 cm3/m2·24 h·0.1 MPa. Progressive elimination ofE. coli,S. aureus, andL. monocytogenesover 7 days was confirmed, with antimicrobial efficacy originating exclusively from the CL-AuNPs@CD-MOF component. Application onAgaricus bisporusover 12 days of refrigerated storage demonstrated superior preservation performance: mushrooms inoculated withL. monocytogenesand packaged with CL-AuNPs@CD-MOF/PLA-Zein exhibited a weight loss of only 6.20 ± 2.06%, compared to 17.74 ± 3.15% for PLA-Zein and 41.50 ± 3.01% for PE controls. Color stability was equally improved, with lightness values of 71.46 ± 1.47 retained under CL-AuNPs@CD-MOF/PLA-Zein packaging, versus 58.37 ± 0.86 for PLA-Zein and 23.34 ± 2.34 for PE. Mushrooms inoculated withE. coliandS. aureusfollowed consistent trends. These results establish CL-AuNPs@CD-MOF/PLA-Zein as a promising multifunctional antimicrobial packaging platform for sustainable food preservation.

A novel and eco-friendly ZEN phase transfer method was developed using CD-MOF. • Amphiphilic character of CD-MOF promotes transfer of ZEN from oil to aqueous phase. • CTAB micelles on Au NRs facilitated adsorption of hydrophobic ZEN to its hotspot. • Rapid SERS sensing of ZEN was achieved based on this novel pretreatment method. An eco-friendly phase-transfer method based on cyclodextrin-metal-organic framework (CD-MOF) was developed to extract zearalenone (ZEN) from edible oil into aqueous phase. Leveraging this green pretreatment approach, a rapid surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensing platform was established for ZEN detection. CD-MOF possesses an amphiphilic structure, whose hydrophobic cavities can encapsulate ZEN to form host-guest complexes. The gradual structural collapse of CD-MOF leads to the release of ZEN into the aqueous phase, achieving efficient oil-to-water transfer with an extraction efficiency of 80–90%. Following this extraction method, SERS detection was achieved using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-capped gold nanorods (Au NRs). The CTAB bilayer on the Au NR surface facilitates the adsorption of hydrophobic ZEN toward the plasmonic hotspots, significantly enhancing the Raman signal. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of CD-MOF extraction and Au NRs-based SERS enhancement, rapid detection of ZEN in corn oil was achieved with performance comparable to that of conventional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

A “turn-on” fluorescence sensor was developed for cholesterol detection on the basis of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the organic fluorophore 1-(4-(1,2,2-triphenylvinyl)phenyl)pyrene (TPE-Py) and a gold nanoparticle-β-cyclodextrin conjugate (AuNPs-β-CD). Mechanistically, the AuNPs-β-CD, an energy acceptor, was synthesized via Au–S bonding, and TPE-Py transferred energy to the AuNPs via FRET, resulting in fluorescence quenching of TPE-Py. In the presence of cholesterol, which has a stronger binding affinity for the β-CD cavity, TPE-Py was competitively displaced, enabling the recovery of the fluorescence signal. This sensor has high sensitivity for cholesterol, with a low detection limit of 66 nM and a linear range of 0.5–30 µM. Furthermore, the sensor was successfully used to determine the cholesterol content in food samples with satisfactory recoveries, revealing its potential for food analysis.

Integrating β-CD-AgNPs and AuNSs arrays enables rapid, quantitative SERS sensing of antibiotic residues. • The system detects AMP, CIP, ENR, NFX individually and in mixtures with high sensitivity. • The combined substrate enabled accurate, applicable antibiotic detection in real waters. β-Cyclodextrin-functionalized Ag nanoparticles (β-CD-AgNPs) were synthesized via a one-step method and integrated with ordered Au nanoshells (AuNSs) arrays to construct a highly sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor for antibiotic detection. The specific dimensions of the β-CD-AgNPs enable selective binding, drawing antibiotic molecules into close proximity with the AgNPs surface. This proximity generates plasmonic hot spots, significantly amplifying the Raman signals. In this design, the β-CD-AgNPs serve a dual role as both the primary SERS substrate and an internal standard. A strong linear relationship was established between the concentration of antibiotics and the intensity ratio of the characteristic antibiotic peak to the β-CD-AgNPs peak. Based on this principle, we achieved sensitive detection of both individual antibiotics and their mixtures, and validated the method through spike-and-recovery experiments in environmental water samples. The calibration plots were established by linearly fitting the intensity ratio (antibiotic characteristic peak/internal standard peak) against the concentration of Ampicillin (AMP), Ciprofloxacin (CIP), Enrofloxacin (ENR), and Norfloxacin (NFX) solutions, all exhibiting excellent linearity (R 2 > 0.99), as well as for binary mixtures of CIP and AMP, with R 2 values of 0.9942 and 0.9953, respectively. The limits of detection (LODs) for these antibiotics ranged from 0.0827 to 0.3365 μmol·L −1 , and the limits of quantification (LOQs) ranged from 0.27 to 1.11 μmol·L −1 . The linear working ranges were 0.61–5.00, 0.55–12.00, 0.48–12.00, and 1.11–12.00 μmol·L −1 for AMP, CIP, ENR, and NFX, respectively. In environmental water samples, apparent recovery rates of individual antibiotics ranged from 98.84% (±0.03%) to 100.02% (±0.01%), with relative standard deviations (RSDs) between 1.32% and 4.92%. For CIP and AMP mixtures in similar samples, recoveries ranged from 98.53% (±0.01%) to 111.29% (±0.04%), with RSDs between 1.15% and 5.71%. These results demonstrate that the proposed SERS sensor enables efficient and accurate antibiotic detection, offering a viable approach for the rapid and highly sensitive monitoring of antibiotic contaminants in the environment.

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.

Background Enantiomeric separation is essential in pharmaceutical analysis because enantiomers can differ markedly in pharmacological activity, metabolism, and safety. HPLC using chiral mobile-phase additives (CMPAs), particularly cyclodextrin-based selectors, provides a flexible and cost-effective alternative to dedicated chiral stationary phases. However, conventional cyclodextrin CMPA systems are often limited by insufficient stereodiscrimination under aqueous-organic mobile-phase conditions, where solvation and weak noncovalent interactions can restrict chiral recognition. This study explores the potential of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as auxiliary mobile-phase modifiers for enhancing enantioseparation in β-cyclodextrin polymer-based HPLC chiral mobile phase analysis. Results Seven DESs with different hydrogen-bond donor/acceptor compositions and molar ratios were prepared and characterized by FT-IR, 1 H NMR, DSC, viscosity, and column-pressure measurements. The DESs were incorporated into HPLC-CMPA systems containing boric acid-modified β-cyclodextrin polymer (BA-β-CDP) and four other cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral selectors. The DES-assisted BA-β-CDP system improved the resolution of all ten chiral analytes. The resolutions of chlorpheniramine, propranolol, metoprolol, and bisoprolol increased by 17.16, 14.61, 12.63, and 8.86, respectively. Furthermore, danshensu, salbutamol, naringin and neohesperidin achieved complete separation with Rs of 2.60, 1.82, 1.52 and 2.52, respectively, which were slightly separated (Rs = 0.98 for danshensu and 0.40 for salbutamol) or remained unresolved in the absence of DES (Rs = 0 for naringin and neohesperidin). The system remained stable for at least 60 days, with RSD values below 1.30%. Significance and novelty In this paper, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) by modulating the hydrogen-bonding network and solvation microenvironment were introduced as auxiliary modifiers into the chiral mobile-phase additive (CMPA) mode of HPLC for the first time which could synergistically enhance chiral recognition. This strategy offers a green, versatile, and cost-effective solution for advancing chiral separation on conventional C18 columns in HPLC.

Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in soil threaten agroecosystem safety and human health. Due to the high bioavailability and mobility of heavy metals in red soil, the risk is further increased. Biochar is widely used for heavy metal immobilization, but original biochar suffers from inherent limitations. Most existing studies of iron (Fe)–manganese (Mn) modified biochar have not focused on red soil, and the relationship with soil–plant responses remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of sugarcane bagasse biochar (BC) and Fe–Mn modified sugarcane bagasse biochar (FMBC) for Pb and Cd immobilization in red soil, and clarify their effect on plant uptake. BC and FMBC were applied to Pb and Cd contaminated red soil for pot experiments with pak choi ( Brassica rapa chinensis ) as an indicator plant. The results showed that both BC and FMBC elevated soil pH, organic matter (SOM), enzyme activities, reduced Pb and Cd bioavailability, and transformed Pb and Cd to stable fractions. FMBC outperformed BC, and the 5% FMBC treatment achieved the optimal remediation efficacy. The 5% FMBC decreased the acid-extractable Pb and Cd by 9.33 and 34.40% compared to control. The plant biomass was significantly increased, Pb and Cd content in edible shoots met the limit standards, and bioconcentration (BCF) and translocation factors (TF) were lowered. Overall, this study establishes theoretical foundations and empirical bases for the application of FMBC to immobilize Pb and Cd in red soils, thereby providing a feasible and eco-friendly approach to support sustainable agriculture and the recycling of agricultural waste.

Chemical substitution is an effective route to manipulate the magnetic exchange couplings and modify the magnetic properties. However, replacement between ${\mathrm{Cd}}^{2+}$ and ${\mathrm{Hg}}^{2+}$ cations, both belonging to IIB group in the periodic table but having quite close ionic radii, is rarely studied. In this work, the chemical-pressure effect in $A{\mathrm{Co}}_{2}({\mathrm{Te}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{8})({\mathrm{SO}}_{4})\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}(A=\mathrm{Hg},\mathrm{Cd})$ is reported, which is an $S=1/2$ structural screw-chain antiferromagnetic series with two unique Co positions. Magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and high-field magnetization measurements on both polycrystal samples suggest that Hg compound experiences two successive antiferromagnetic transitions at ${T}_{\mathrm{N}1}=25.5\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ and ${T}_{\mathrm{N}2}=21.5\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ in zero field, and multiple field-induced transitions at ${B}_{1}=10.5\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{T}, {B}_{2}=13\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{T}$, and ${B}_{3}=19.5\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{T}$ at 1.6 K. By contrast, a single magnetic transition takes place at ${T}_{\mathrm{N}}=20$ K and ${B}_{\mathrm{c}}=10.7\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{T}$ in Cd compound. Different twists of ${\mathrm{CoO}}_{6}$ octahedra are discussed to be responsible for the distinct magnetic behaviors. To further understand the influence of the chemical pressure, additional anisotropic characterizations are performed on Hg single crystal and subsequently the magnetic field $\mathrm{versus}$ temperature phase diagrams are established. Large magnetic anisotropy is observed with the moments lying within the $bc$ plane. Besides, a possible field-induced order-disorder transition is uncovered under the application of a magnetic field along the $b$ axis. The opposite features of the anisotropic magnetic susceptibility in Hg compound might demonstrate separate antiferromagnetic orders of the two Co sublattices, the discrepancy of which is reduced due to the weakened twist of ${\mathrm{CoO}}_{6}$ octahedra in Cd compound, leading to a simultaneous occurrence of these transitions instead.

The paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of biochar prepared from the co-pyrolysis of rice husk and cow bone (RHCBC) for in situ remediation and amelioration of Cd-contaminated soil. Effects of RHCBC on Cd bioavailability in soil and Cd uptake in corn growth were investigated through cultivation experiments and pot experiments. The results showed that the addition of RHCBC in the Cd-contaminated soil achieved the increase of soil pH, CEC, and SOM, whereas the soil available Cd content was reduced by 29.08–51.06%, which was proved by the transformation of Cd from acid soluble and exchangeable state to residual state. Furthermore, the nutrient contents of soil were also increased by 82.41–230.09% for alkali-hydrolyzable N, 66.81–144.03% for available P, and 16.20–77.70% for available K, respectively, which promoted the growth of corn. Overall, it is a promising strategy to employ RHCBC for in situ remediation of Cd-contaminated soil and promotion of plant growth as efficient soil amendment.

MgO-modified biochar (MgO-BC) has demonstrated enormous potential for practical application of Cd(Ⅱ) removal from wastewater. Exceptionally numerous MgO adsorption sites and enhanced porosity of MgO-BC are both critical for efficiency Cd(Ⅱ) removal. However, the pursuit of high-content of MgO while maintaining unobstructed pore structure remains a challenge due to the blockage of BC pores by the MgO particles. Herein, we demonstrated that Mg(NO 3 ) 2 can synergistically enhance the porosity and MgO active site of biochar attributing to the oxidation of nitrate. The prepared MgO-BC exhibits highly porous framework structure. Remarkably, further adsorption results indicate the MgO-BC has outstanding adsorption capacity of Cd(Ⅱ) in solution. The immobilized contaminant Cd(Ⅱ) onto MgO-BC was predominantly attributable to the chemical and physical interaction, including ion exchange, cation-π interaction, surface complexation and electrostatic interaction. This strategy demonstrates a novel route to develop efficient adsorbents by tailoring structure and metal oxide via nitrate activation.
