Dietary intake is an important exposure pathway of environmental bisphenols including bisphenol S (BPS, a typical emerging organic pollutant). However, available data on the occurrence and risk assessment of BPS in food samples are limited due to the lack of high-throughput analytical methods. Herein, based on H 2 O 2 inducing fluorescence turn-off signals, a sensitive and high-throughput fluorescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (FELISA) was developed for BPS investigation in beverages. In this system, the fluorescence of copper nanoclusters in ZIF-8 (CuNCs-CS@ZIF-8) could be quenched with the presence of H 2 O 2 owing to the strong oxidation, being served as signal amplification in FELISA. Meanwhile, the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorescence enhancement of CuNCs-CS through the conformational locking of ZIF-8 provided an effective strategy to overcome the intrinsic limitations of FELISA including high background, serious fluorescence quenching in the detection of real samples. Thus, the integration of AIE building blocks into porous ZIF-8 showed obvious advantages in enhancing the analytical performance of FELISA. Under optimized conditions, satisfactory results with good accuracy were achieved in this proposed FELISA, which was applied for the systematic investigation of BPS in foods and further health risk assessments. The results after 100 beverages analysis displayed an average detection frequency of 55%, and the detected concentration of BPS ranged from below the limit of quantification (LOQ) to 12.08 ng/mL with a mean value of 1.717 ng/mL. Besides, the estimated daily intake (EDI) of BPS was calculated to be 0.05449–4.483 ng/kg-bw/day, in which milk–tea drinks contributed to the majority of BPS daily intake (mean EDI = 4.483 ng/kg-bw/day). And the hazard quotient (HQ) according to EDI values indicated that BPS exposure in beverages might not make a considerable impact on human health.

Birefringent crystals with strong anisotropy are important components in modern optical devices. The newly discovered planar π-conjugated cyanurate group (HxC3N3O3)x−3 (x = 0–3) has been demonstrated as an effective functional motif for improving birefringence in the ultraviolet region. Here, single co-crystals of alkali halide cyanurates, RbBr·(H3C3N3O3) (I), RbI·(H3C3N3O3) (II), and CsBr·(H3C3N3O3) (III) were synthesized by the ethanol solution method, and NaBr·(H3C3N3O3) (IV) was obtained via the solvent-drop grinding method. These four co-crystals feature a planar (H3C3N3O3) arrangement and exhibit wide band gaps (> 4.90 eV), tunable birefringence (Δnexp ∼ 0.124–0.256), and high thermal stability (156 °C–349 °C). In addition, first principles calculations were also carried out to evaluate the relationship between molecule density, spatial arrangement and optical birefringence, and suggested a great tailoring effect of the alkali metal and halogen species on regulating the optical anisotropy of co-crystal cyanurates.

Previously, the formation of a stable adduct 2H3BO3·3CsCl (BC) was observed in CsCl(aq) but not in RbCl(aq). The phase equilibria of the H3BO3 + RbCl + CsCl + H2O system were studied to assess the potential for selective separation of Cs from Rb. Solubility isotherms were determined experimentally. Appropriate liquid composition ranges were preselected using modeling with ISLEC’s equilibrium software. Schreinemakers’ wet solid method, XRD, Raman and IR spectra, Roozeboom’s plots, and SEM-EDS were applied to identify the four phase regions H3BO3, 2H3BO3·3(Cs,Rb)Cl (Bss), (Rb,Cs)Cl, and (Cs,Rb)Cl. Notably, in the presence of RbCl, the BC phase incorporates Rb+, forming a substitutional solid solution, Bss, which inhibits selective separation of CsCl. Roozeboom’s plot analysis revealed that RbCl exhibits higher solubility in the Bss phase compared to the (Cs,Rb)Cl solid solution. The separation factor βCs/Rb between the solid Bss phase and the corresponding solution was 2.0, significantly lower than that of (Cs,Rb)Cl (βCs/Rb = 9.5) in the ternary system without H3BO3. This indicates a stronger coordination between CsCl and H3BO3 relative to that of RbCl in the ternary system without H3BO3. The above understanding provides new strategies designing novel B–OH compounds to enhance Cs/Rb separation efficiency in aqueous systems.

With the rapid development of industry, the problem of water pollution has become increasingly serious. Though there are many separation materials available to solve this problem, how to separate multiple wastewater at the same time remains a challenge. Hydrogel coating is suitable for use in the field of oil–water separation, and chitosan (CS) is effective in removing anionic dyes. Therefore, the preparation of separation membranes with hydrogel coating containing CS and dopamine (DA) can effectively separate oil–water emulsion and anionic dye wastewater. In this paper, DA@CNTs/CS hydrogel coating was prepared by sequentially coating Cu 2+ , DA@CNTs, Cu 2+ and CS on the surface of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane by deposition of self-assembly, which enhanced the hydrophilicity of the membrane and made it highly underwater oleophobic and antifouling. The alkali treated PVDF membrane contained a large amount of –OH, Cu 2+ , which formed coordination bonds with –OH, CS, and DA and the hydrogel coating could be stably loaded on the membrane. In addition, the introduction of rigid CNTs effectively improved the performance of the modified membrane under extreme conditions such as high pH and high salt concentration. PVDF-DA@CNTs/CS membrane had an ideal pure water flux (PWF) of 1470 (L·m −2 ·h −1 ) and the separation efficiency of 99.7 % for anionic dye and 99.4 % for oil–water emulsion. The contaminant on the membrane surface can be quickly removed by washing with DI water. The overall performance of the membrane is also maintained at a very high level of long-term filtration of wastewater. In summary, this study provides a new approach to complex wastewater treatment technology.

Deliberate engineering of built-in electric fields (BEFs) can facilitate electron transfer and promote asymmetrical charge distribution, thereby regulating the adsorption/desorption of reaction intermediates. Herein, an oxygen-deficiency-rich MnO-CeO2 is synthetized supported on a carbon sphere (MnO-CeO2@Cs), adeptly crafted with a prominent work function difference (ΔΦ) and robust BEF, targeting the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Empirical and theoretical results substantiate that the BEF triggers interfacial charge redistribution, fine-tuning the adsorption energy of oxygen intermediates and hastening reaction kinetics. Consequently, the MnO-CeO2@Cs showcases commendable performance (E1/2 = 0.80 V and jL = 5.5 mA cm−2), outshining its single-component counterparts. Impressively, the MnO-CeO2@Cs-based zinc–air batteries (ZABs) boast an exemplary power density of 202.7 mW cm−2 and enduring stability of 297 h. Additionally, the solid-state ZAB commands a peak power density of 67.4 mW cm−2, underscoring its potential in flexible ZAB applications. This work delineates a strategic avenue to harness interfacial charge redistribution, aiming to enhance the catalytic performance and longevity of energy conversion/storage apparatuses.

The large accumulation of superfine iron tailings (SIT) as solid waste may lead to significant environmental and safety risks, urgently requiring resource utilization. The preparation of geopolymers using SIT is high-valued and environmentally friendly method. Therefore, a low-cost, alkali-containing solid carbonate series accelerator (CSA) was used to accelerate the early geopolymerization process of coal fly ash (CFA)/SIT-based three-dimensional printed geopolymers (CS-3DPG). The optimal addition time and content of CSA were 25 min and 6 %, respectively, which significantly shortened the setting time of CS-3DPG to 9 min and increased its early compressive strength to 24.18 MPa. The addition of CSA enhanced the rheological properties of CS-3DPG, improving its printability and buildability. These results provide assurance for achieving rapid prototyping of CS-3DPG. Combined with microscopic characterization, selective chemical extractions (SCE) and isothermal conduction calorimetry (ICC), CSA effectively promoted the CS-3DPG geopolymerization reaction process, transitioning from interactions at the phase boundary (I) to diffusion (D). Additionally, the CO 2 emissions of CS-3DPG were reduced by 76 % compared to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). This study successfully reveals the role and impact mechanism of CSA in 3DPG, providing an important theoretical reference for regulating 3DPG buildability.

The integration of external field-enhanced effects such as the photothermal effect has emerged as a promising strategy for improving the adsorption efficiency of adsorbents toward Cs + and Sr 2+ due to its energy saving and high efficiency. Herein, a multifunctional photothermal adsorbent is rationally designed and synthesized via a simple one-step hydrothermal method and electrostatic assembly by combining V, W co-doped MoS 2 , P-MXene, and biomass-derived carbon aerogel (VWMoS 2 /P-MXene/C). Doping of V and W induces the phase transition of MoS 2 to the more active 1T phase, providing more accessible active adsorption sites. Moreover, the 3D porous structure of the biomass-derived carbon aerogel offers sufficient water transport channels, accelerating the diffusion kinetics of Cs + and Sr 2+ . The excellent photothermal conversion capability of the VWMoS 2 /P-MXene/C composite drives water evaporation, which promotes the increase of local concentrations of Cs + and Sr 2+ in the water medium. This synergistic mechanism combining phase engineering and photothermal enhancement collectively contributes to the excellent performance in Cs + and Sr 2+ capture. The VWMoS 2 /P-MXene/C demonstrates adsorption capacities of 158.3 mg/g for Cs + and 110.1 mg/g for Sr 2+ within 1 h, respectively, under photothermal enhancement. Simultaneously, the adsorbent exhibits excellent ion selectivity and reusability. The possible adsorption mechanisms mainly involve surface complexation and electrostatic interactions. Moreover, VWMoS 2 /P-MXene/C demonstrates a long-term solar-driven desalination capability with an evaporation rate of 1.98 kg·m −2 ·h −1 in natural seawater. Notably, the VWMoS 2 /P-MXene/C also shows promising application potential for dye removal and oil adsorption. This work provides a universal strategy for designing multifunctional integrated adsorbents and promotes their practical applications in radioactive wastewater treatment and seawater desalination

The moving bed bioreactor (MBBR) process has drawn more attention as a promising biological wastewater treatment process . Nevertheless, achieving quick start-up and microbial biofilm formation remains a significant challenge. Consequently, the present study investigated a novel chitosan-based natural sludge (CS@NGS) seeding strategy for the accelerated start-up of MBBR. Three identical bioreactors were employed; the first bioreactor was without sludge seed as the control (BR1), the second was inoculated only with sludge (BR2), and the third was inoculated with CS@NGS according to the proposed seeding method (BR3). All bioreactors were utilised to treat simulated recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) effluent. Resultantly, the CS@NGS shortened the start-up period from over twenty to seven days due to the enhanced initial microbial adhesion and biofilm formation. Under optimal conditions, the ammonium removal in BR3 approached 100%, which was relatively higher than BR2 (96.35 ± 1.12%) and BR1 (92.56 ± 2.17%). Moreover, a low nitrite accumulation was exhibited in the effluents, approximately ≤0.03 mg L −1 . The process performance correlated positively with core bacteria from the genera Nakamurella , Hyphomicrobium , Nitrospira , Paenarthrobacter , Rhodococcus , and Stenotrophobacter . The quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results demonstrated that the CS@NGS enhanced the expressions of amo A, nxr B, nir K, nir S, nar G, and nap A nitrogen metabolism-related functional genes to varying degrees. The present study findings can assist the rapid start-up of aquaculture biofilters utilised to solve high nitrite and ammonia accumulation in recirculated water from industrial RAS.

This study presents an innovative approach to membrane fabrication by integrating electrospinning with surface modification techniques to develop a novel dual-layer protective membrane system. The key innovation lies in the incorporation of photothermally responsive nanocomposites, enabling multifunctional membrane performance. The primary layer is a PVDF-PNIPAAm thermoresponsive matrix synthesized by radical polymerization, integrated with BN@PDA-Ag nanosheets. This design combines Ag nanoparticles’ photothermal conversion and BN’s thermal conductivity to regulate pore size via PNIPAAm chain conformational changes induced by temperature. The secondary layer, comprising CS@CNT and PVDF, significantly enhances membrane hydrophilicity and antifouling properties through chitosan’s hydrophilic groups and chelating capabilities. The membrane demonstrates self-cleaning, adaptive filtration, antifouling and high flux, representing a significant advancement in smart membrane technology for water treatment applications.

ZIF-8 has strong potential for biomedical applications due to its excellent biocompatibility. In this study, 89.67 % of natural drug magnolol (Mag) was loaded in ZIF-8 to form Mag@ZIF-8, which was subsequently modified with chitosan (CS) to obtain Mag@ZIF-8/CS. The prepared materials were characterized using the UV–Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, DLS, SEM and TEM techniques. Thermal stability of materials was analyzed using Thermos Gravimetric Analysis system. PDI and Z -average hydrodynamic sizes of Mag@ZIF-8/CS and Mag@ZIF-8 were increased compared to ZIF-8. Similarly, Mag@ZIF-8 revealed higher zeta potential (+17.5 ± 2.3 mV) than ZIF-8 (+9.8 ± 0.5 mV), but Mag@ZIF-8/CS exposed 3.2 ± 0.9 mV, in water; however, at pH 4 it was changed to +5 mV. Pure ZIF-8 and Mag@ZIF-8 exhibited a hexagonal morphology, while Mag@ZIF-8/CS had a rotund, flat-like structure, with mean particle size of 101 nm, 123 nm and 343 nm, respectively. Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis offered a deeper insight into the electronic properties and binding interactions of the composites. Under acidic conditions, drug release from Mag@ZIF-8 was higher (86.4 %) and faster than from Mag@ZIF-8/CS (74 %), when tested at physiological pH 7.4 and 37 °C. This, suggests that CS modification of Mag@ZIF-8 is crucial for achieving prolonged and sustained drug release. Mag@ZIF-8 and Mag@ZIF-8/CS depicted a two-fold increase in antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus , demonstrating a synergistic effect. The MIC value for E. coli and S. aureus were, 35 μg/mL and 20 μg/mL, respectively, confirming the enhanced antibacterial efficacy of the composites. Molecular docking analysis provided deeper insights into the binding interactions between the materials and the E. coli protein 5AZC.

Cobalt catalysts supported on TiO2 with different crystal forms (anatase and rutile) differ sharply in CO2 conversion and product selectivity for CO2 hydrogenation. The Co/rutile-TiO2 catalyst selectively catalyzed CO2 hydrogenation to CH4, while CO is the main product on the Co/anatase-TiO2 catalyst. In situ DRIFT (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform) results have partially revealed the reaction pathway of CO2 hydrogenation on these two catalysts. On Co/rutile-TiO2, the reaction proceeds through the key intermediate formate species, which is further converted to CH4. Differently, the reaction on Co/anatase-TiO2 undergoes CO2 → *CO, which desorbs to form gas-phase CO instead of subsequent hydrogenation. The strongly bonded *CO is required to enhance the subsequent hydrogenation. By simply changing the calcination temperature of anatase TiO2, the product selectivity can be tuned from CO to CH4 with a significant increase in CO2 conversion due to the surface phase transition of the anatase to the rutile phase. The addition of Zr, K, and Cs further improves the CO, CO2, and H2 adsorption in both the capacity and strength over anatase- and rutile-supported catalysts. The Zr modification makes the reaction pathway over anatase-supported catalyst proceed via the intermediate formate species and enables the subsequent hydrogenation to CH4. In addition, the surface C/H ratio increases significantly in the presence of promoters (unpromoted < Zr-promoted < K-Zr-promoted ∼ Cs-Zr-promoted), which leads to the highest C2+ selectivity of 17% with 70% CO2 conversion over K-Zr-Co/anatase-TiO2 catalyst. These results reveal mechanistic insights into how the product distribution of Co/TiO2 catalysts can be manipulated through adjusting the adsorption performance and surface C/H ratio.

Novel composite of immobilized layered K 2x Mn x Sn 3−x S 6 (x = 0.5–0.95) (KMS-1) on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (r-GO), KMS-1/r-GO (KGO), has been fabricated by employing hydrothermal technique and used for the removal of radioactive Cs + and Sr 2+ ions from aqueous solutions. The KGO was characterized thoroughly with different characteristic techniques and found that the laminar KMS-1 nanoplate were immobilized on the surface of r-GO nanosheets, forming a highly porous stacked structure. Batch studies have been done for obtaining optimal experimental parameters and investigating the effect of adsorption time, initial concentration of pollutant, pH of solution, temperature, and competing anions on the removal properties. At room temperature, the maximum adsorption capacity of KGO was 338.18 mg·g −1 and 220.12 mg·g −1 for both Cs + and Sr 2+ , respectively. Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were fitted well with experimental data of removed Cs + and Sr 2+ . Adsorption showed good selectivity of composite towards Cs + and Sr 2+ in the presence of co-existing ions (Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ). The proposed adsorption mechanism involved ion exchange through the presence of K + ions in KMS-1 and formation of surface ionic interactions between r-GO and ions through COO X or S X (X denoted Cs + and Sr 2+ ). This study highlighted the facile applicability of novel material KGO and could be used as a new adsorbent for the removal of radioactive ions.
