Herein, mesoporous hollow kapok-tubes (denoted as MHKTs) is first used as carbon electrocatalyst for CO 2 electroreduction that can selectively convert CO 2 to formate without doping active elements, achieving the highest Faradaic Efficiency (FE) for formate at a potential range from −1.0 to −1.1 V vs. RHE (E = −1.0 V, FE = 48%; E = −1.1 V, FE = 50%). Moreover, MHKTs is also first used as new carbon support for loading metals in CO 2 electroreduction, metals (Sn, Bi, Pb and Cd) in-situ anchored on MHKTs are all prepared via in-situ simple one-pot synthetic strategy. The four electrocatalysts Sn@MHKTs (E = −0.9 V, FE = 94%; E = −1.0 V, FE = 95%; E = −1.1 V, FE = 90%), Bi@MHKTs (E = −0.9 V, FE = 90.5%; E = −1.0 V, FE = 93%; E = −1.1 V, FE = 92%), Pb@MHKTs (E = −1.0 V, FE = 85%; E = −1.1 V, FE = 80%) and Cd@MHKTs (E = −0.9 V, FE = 71%; E = −1.0 V, FE = 74%; E = −1.1 V, FE = 70%) all exhibit high selectivity for electrocatalytic CO 2 to formate at a wide potential range with low overpotential and high current density , respectively outperforming electrocatalysts synthesized under the same conditions that use traditional MWCNTs and rGO as carbon support (Sn@MWCNTs, Bi@MWCNTs, Pb@MWCNTs, Cd@MWCNTs; Sn@rGO, Bi@rGO, Pb@rGO, Cd@rGO). These outstanding performances of low cost metal@MHKTs electrocatalysts display great potential for large-scale using in CO 2 -to-formate process.

Chiral, pH-responsive hydrogels are constructed by poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate/ α -cyclodextrin (PEGDA/ α -CD) inclusion complex and L- N -acryloyl-alanine or D- N -acryloyl-alanine (L-NAA or D-NAA) by an effective free radical polymerization approach. PEGDA containing two C=C end groups was used simultaneously to introduce α -CD units in the resulting hydrogels and to serve as a cross-linking agent, by which forming the designed hydrogels in quantitative yield. Hydrophilic α -CD moieties acted as pore-forming agent, while the L(D)-NAA-based polymer chains bearing –COOH groups enabled the hydrogels to display remarkable swelling–deswelling behavior in response to pH variation. The chiral NAA monomer-derived polymer chains rendered the hydrogels with intriguing optical activity, according to circular dichroism spectra. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the uniformly porous microstructures of hydrogels. More remarkably, the L-NAA-based hydrogels preferentially adsorbed trans -4-hydroxy- d -proline and preferentially released trans -4-hydroxy- l -proline, while D-NAA-based hydrogels provided opposite results. The hydrogels also demonstrated remarkable enantioselective release ability towards chiral drug ibuprofen. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper, air-dried lake sludge was pretreated by ball milling, and then pyrolysed at 600°C to prepare lake sludge-derived ball milling biochar, and Fe 3 O 4 was loaded on lake sludge-derived ball milling biochar by chemical precipitation. Scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate and characterize the adsorbents. The results demonstrated that ball mill pretreatment and Fe 3 O 4 -loaded can effectively increase the content of O-containing groups in the adsorbent. The batch adsorption experiments revealed that Cd(II) removal followed the pseudo-second- order kinetic model and the Langmuir model. Additionally, the Cd(II) maximum adsorption by biochar (BC), MBBC and Fe 3 O 4 @MBBC was 31.33, 47.36 and 92.42 mg/g, respectively. The Cd(II) removal mechanisms were complexation, ion exchange, co-precipitation and electrostatic interaction. The Cd(II) removal efficiency on Fe 3 O 4 @MBBC was maintained at 91.35% after 5 adsorption– desorption experiments, indicating that Fe 3 O 4 @MBBC had the ability to be better applied for the removal of Cd(II)-containing wastewater.

Since Cd(II) and As(III) have extremely opposite chemical characteristics, it is a huge challenging to simultaneously remove these two ions from aqueous solutions. Therefore, a novel iron sulfide-based porous biochar (FSB) was synthesized and used to evaluate its Cd(II) and As(III) removal performance and mechanisms. The characterization and batch experiments results indicated that FeS was successfully loaded on the surface of biochar and increased its adsorption sites. The iron sulfide-based porous biochar was very favorable for the removal of Cd(II) and As(III) in the weakly acidic environment. The maximum adsorption of Cd(II) and As(III) by FSB was 108.8 mg g −1 and 76.3 mg g −1 , respectively, according to the Langmuir and Freundlich isothermal adsorption model, and the adsorption equilibrium time was 12 h and 4 h, respectively, according to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In the coexisting ion system, Cd(II) adsorption was suppressed by Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , and humic acid, but enhanced by PO 4 3− and As(III). As(III) adsorption was inhibited by PO 4 3− and humic acid. Precipitation and complexation are the predominant adsorption mechanisms of Cd(II) and As(III), which contribute to the formation of Cd-O, Fe-O-Cd, As-O, Fe-O-As, ternary complex Cd-Fe-As, and stable compounds FeAsO 4 ·2H 2 O and CdS. Therefore, The iron sulfide-based porous biochar can be an efficient and environmentally friendly candidate for the treatment of Cd(II) and As(III) co-polluted irrigation water.

The co-contamination of cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) in agricultural soils threatens ecosystem safety and human health via food crop accumulation. However, simultaneous remediation of Cd and As remains challenging due to their opposing chemical behaviors. Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a promising technology for heavy metal remediation. In this study, we developed a novel bioremediation strategy by employing newly isolated Rummelibacillus sp. (ANY-1) and Rummelibacillus pycnus (ANY-2) for simultaneous immobilization of Cd and As via MICP. This study systematically investigated and compared the efficacy of ANY-1, ANY-2, and the model strain Sporosarcina pasteurii in immobilizing Cd and As in both aqueous solution and soil. Results revealed that ANY-1, ANY-2 could not only efficiently remove Cd(II) from co-contaminated aqueous solution (75.08%-93.13%), but also achieve considerable removal of As(III) (16.74%-37.32%). In soil incubation MICP remediation resulted in 47.26%-64.09% and 8.12%-25.74% decline in available Cd and As contents, respectively. XRD and FTIR analyses confirmed that the immobilization of Cd(II) and As(III) by the three strains occurred not only via co-precipitation with CaCO₃ but also through mineralization, forming (Ca₀.₆₇, Cd₀.₃₃)CO₃ and Ca₅(HAsO₄)₂(AsO₄)₂·5H₂O. Biomineralization induced by ANY-1 and ANY-2 upregulated soil urease gene and without negative impacts on soil bacterial communities. Further field experiment demonstrated that ANY-1 can effectively reduce the accumulation of Cd(63.4%) and As(24.4%) in rice grains, without compromising yield. Our findings highlight the potential of MICP as an eco-friendly and effective strategy for mitigating the combined ecological and health risks posed by Cd and As co-contamination in soil.

A novel indium doped bismuth hybrid nanofilm was prepared on a glassy carbon electrode (Bi@In/GCE) and successfully used for the simultaneous measurements of aqueous zinc (Zn(II)), cadmium (Cd(II)) and lead (Pb(II)). The Bi@In hybrid nanofilm was greatly improved in the ability of electron transfer, surface morphology as well as hydrophilicity over single Bi or In film, and exhibited well-defined and separate peaks for Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) by square wave stripping voltammetry. Analytical characteristics of the developed Bi@In/GCE were explored by comparing with single Bi and In film modified electrodes with calibration curves, which exhibited the most preferable electrochemical behaviors toward three metals as predicted. The synergistic effect of Bi and In mainly contributed to the enhanced electrochemical activity of the new electrode. In the concentration range of 0-120 µg L -1 , a good linear relationship was achieved between the peak current and the metal concentration with correlation coefficient higher than 0.995. The detection limits were calculated to be 0.52, 0.15 and 0.67 µg L -1 for Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) (S/N=3), respectively. The analysis of river sample with Bi@In/GCE was performed with satisfactory recoveries higher than 98%, suggesting that the new method is promising as a simple, sensitive and efficient approach to detect the heavy metals in water samples.

The analyses of the structures indicate that all three materials crystallize in the tetragonal crystal system, space group P 4 1 2 1 2. They have similar structures; i.e., the Schiff base coordinates in its deprotonated form and behaves as a hexadentate (4N+2O) coordinated ligand to form a distorted octahedron geometry. On the other hand, as a result of the alternate arrangement of chains through N–H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds interactions, 2-D layers are formed for the three complexes. Furthermore, the luminescent properties and thermal stabilities of the three complexes were investigated.

A novel asymmetrical bis-Schiff base, (E)-3-(((di(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)hydrazono)methyl)-1-methyl-1H-indole (3DM), incorporating both pyridine and indole units, was synthesized and structurally characterized alongside its two cadmium(II) complexes (3DMCd, p-3DMCd). Comprehensive spectroscopic characterization (elemental analysis, HRMS, NMR, fluorescence) was performed. Both cadmium(II) complexes exhibit visible fluorescence, and p-3DMCd in particular displays intense yellow emission readily observable to the naked eye, indicating its potential as a novel aggregation-induced emissive material. Cytotoxicity assays conducted against A375, A549, and HeLa cancer cell lines, as well as normal HFF-1 fibroblasts, show that the free ligand 3DM is minimally toxic, whereas both cadmium(II) complexes selectively inhibit tumor cell proliferation and display markedly lower toxicity toward normal cells relative to CdCl2. In HeLa cells specifically, both 3DMCd and p-3DMCd exhibit substantially higher cytotoxicity than CdCl2, while maintaining significantly reduced toxicity toward normal cells. These results highlight the potential role of 3DM as a detoxifying ligand and support the promise of its cadmium(II) complexes as low-toxicity, metal-based candidates for anticervical cancer therapy. Given the established significance of DNA in the mechanism of action of metal-based drugs, docking studies were conducted against a DNA target to elucidate the structural basis for the differential potencies exhibited by the three compounds.

A mixed mono−/multidentate ligand strategy engineered defective MIL-100(Fe). • Coordinatively unsaturated Fe O sites promoted rapid heavy-metal adsorption. • Defect engineering integrated Fe O exposure and amino functionalization. • Synergistic Fe–O/NH₂/COO − sites enhanced adsorption kinetics and affinity. • A flexible MOF membrane achieved efficient and recyclable heavy-metal removal. To address Pb(II) and Cd(II)-dominated heavy-metal contamination in water, a series of amino-bearing, defect-regulated Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were constructed using ligand engineering. In the synthetic design, the tritopic linker 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H₃BTC) was coupled with the monotopic modulator p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), enabling the simultaneous generation of coordinatively unsaturated Fe O centers and exposed -NH₂ functionalities within the framework. This dual functionalization substantially strengthened the affinity of the adsorbent for divalent heavy-metal ions. Among the obtained samples, 6 mg Fe(BTC)₈(PABA)₂, corresponding to an H₃BTC/PABA feed ratio of 8:2, delivered the best adsorption performance under the conditions of 25 °C, pH 5, and an initial concentration of 150 mg/L, with maximum uptake values of 732.03 mg/g for Pb(II) and 654.05 mg/g for Cd(II), and equilibrium was achieved within 15 min. Kinetic and equilibrium analyses followed the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm, respectively, indicating that monolayer chemisorption dominates the capture process. To improve the handling, recovery, and reusability of Fe(BTC)₈(PABA)₂ particles, they were incorporated into a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous matrix via electrospinning to obtain a Fe(BTC)₈(PABA)₂@PAN membrane. The membrane retained good structural stability and pronounced selectivity, particularly for Pb(II), in both binary-ion media and multi-cationic aqueous systems. After five adsorption-desorption cycles, more than 83% of the initial adsorption capacity was retained. DFT (Density functional theory) calculations further supported the experimental observations, showing that the adsorption originated from cooperative coordination among unsaturated Fe-O-M sites, carboxyl oxygen atoms, and amino nitrogen atoms. Therefore this study provides a defect- and functionality-coupled strategy for developing MOF-based adsorbents with both rapid uptake and high capacity for heavy-metal remediation.

Background Chirality plays a critical role in drug efficacy and environmental safety. The antibacterial activity of ofloxacin resides almost exclusively in its S-enantiomer (levofloxacin, LEV), while the R-enantiomer contributes little to therapeutic effects but may pose unnecessary risks. Rapid and reliable methods for enantioselective determination of ofloxacin enantiomers are therefore essential for pharmaceutical quality control, food safety monitoring, and environmental analysis. However, existing electrochemical sensors often suffer from limited enantioselectivity and insufficient sensitivity. To address this challenge, a novel enantioselective electrochemical platform is developed. Results A β-cyclodextrin/cerium-doped copper metal-organic framework/carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube composite (β-CD/Ce-doped Cu-MOF/MWCNTs-COOH) was fabricated on a glassy carbon electrode. The sensor achieves discrimination of ofloxacin enantiomers with an I L /I D ratio of 3.39. DFT calculations at pH 4.0 reveal that β-CD binds LEV with higher adsorption energy (−63.8 kJ/mol) than DEX (−58.3 kJ/mol), confirming the superior response for LEV originates from stereospecific inclusion. Quantitative analysis of LEV shows two linear ranges (0.03–1 μM and 1–10 μM) with a low detection limit of 0.01 μM. The sensor also enables accurate determination of LEV percentage in enantiomer mixtures across 0–100%. Excellent selectivity against common interferents, good reproducibility (RSD = 0.98%), repeatability (RSD = 1.26%), and long-term stability (95.2% retention after 21 days) are demonstrated. Practical applicability is validated by detecting LEV in commercial eye drops, honey, and tap water with satisfactory recoveries (96.0–108.0%). Significance and novelty This work presents the first application of Ce-doped Cu-MOF/β-CD/MWCNTs-COOH composites for the enantioselective electrochemical sensing of ofloxacin, a chiral fluoroquinolone antibiotic. The synergistic combination of high conductivity, abundant catalytic sites, and stereospecific host-guest recognition provides a generalizable strategy for high-performance enantioselective sensing, with promising applications in pharmaceutical, food, and environmental analysis.

γ-CD-MOF@Eu-MOF flower-like probe synthesized for sensitive sulfonamides detection. • Paper-based sensor enables portable, visual on-site testing via smartphone imaging. • Machine learning algorithm boosts detection speed and reliability for quantitation. • The detection limit of the γ-CD-MOF@Eu-MOF for SAs is as low as 25.5 nmol/L. The protection of human health and the guarantee of food safety necessitate rapid and precise identification of sulfonamides (SAs) residues in food. Herein, we propose a fluorescence sensor based on γ-CD-MOF@Eu-MOF, which is used for quantitative and visual detection of SAs. The γ-CD-MOF@Eu-MOF exhibits high selectivity toward SAs, with detection limits for sulfamerazine (SMR), sulfamethazine (SM 2 ), and sulfamethoxydiazine (SMD) as low as 25.5 nmol/L, 36.7 nmol/L, and 39.8 nmol/L, respectively. The fluorescent probes were immobilized on paper substrates to construct a paper-based sensor, which was combined with a smartphone-assisted machine learning algorithm to enable high-throughput, intelligent, and rapid detection of SAs. After optimizing the constructed prediction model, the coefficient of determination can reach 0.99, indicating the accuracy and applicability of the model. Overall, this sensor exhibits excellent stability, sensitivity, and specificity, providing a practical approach for the intelligent, rapid, and high-throughput on-site visual detection of SAs.

To address environmental remediation challenges from ciprofloxacin (CIP), this study pioneers a ligand pre-metallization strategy diverging fundamentally from conventional post-synthetic approaches. By pre-constructing Fe-N 4 coordination in Fe(III) meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine chloride (H 4 TCPP(Fe)) ligands before assembly with Cd 5 polynuclear clusters, a stable three-dimensional Fe 3+ -doped Cd-TCPP metal-organic framework (MOF) was engineered, overcoming pore collapse limitations in conventional porphyrinic MOFs. This coordination engineering enables triple synergistic mechanisms: (1) Metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT)-enhanced light absorption, (2) built-in electric fields at FeN 4 -Cd 5 heterojunctions reducing charge-transfer resistance, and (3) high-density active sites accelerating hydroxyl radical ( • OH) production. The optimized system achieves near-complete CIP degradation within 25 min (maximum kinetic constant ( k ) = 0.40 min −1 ) under 10 W visible light and ultrafast solar degradation (99.2 % removal in 2.5 min, k = 1.92 min −1 ), surpassing state-of-the-art Fe-TCPP ( k = 0.23 min −1 ). Mechanistic analysis via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) revealed piperazine cleavage/defluorination pathways, while ecological structure activity relationships (ECOSAR) verified reduced aquatic toxicity of intermediates. This work establishes a coordination-directed paradigm for precision MOF electronic engineering, offering a scalable solution for antibiotic remediation.
