With the development of industry, the scarcity of lithium resources is becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, the development of high-performance nanofiltration (NF) membranes for lithium extraction from salt lakes has become crucial. Herein, β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) and amino-rich graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 5 ) sol were uniformly mixed to form β-CD@g-C 3 N 5 , which was then mixed with polyetherimide (PEI) monomer and subjected to interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on a 0.22 μm microfiltration (MF) membrane to prepare the PEI-(β-CD@g-C 3 N 5 )/TMC composite NF membrane. Through thin plate theory and gradient operation pressure filtration tests, it was found that the composite NF membrane prepared on the MF membrane substrate was not only defect-free but also exhibited superior compression resistance. In Li + /Mg 2+ filtration tests, the PEI-(β-CD@g-C 3 N 5 )/TMC membrane showed superior NF performance, with a Li + /Mg 2+ selectivity coefficient of 38.85 and a permeability of 8.91 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 . This was attributed to the effect of β-CD@g-C 3 N 5 , which could thin the separation layer, slightly enlarge and more uniformly distribute the pores, increase hydrophilicity, and enhance positive charge; meanwhile, the cavity structure provided by β-CD helped to effectively separate Li + /Mg 2+ . Furthermore, under conditions of mixed salt solutions with different Mg 2+ /Li + mass ratios and 80 h of continuous filtration, the membrane exhibited excellent stability. This work introduces innovative membrane materials and design concepts to the field of lithium extraction via NF, potentially paving the way for the industrial application of NF technology.

Aquaculture organisms may accumulate metals to induce health risks. Compared with the focus on total contents, chemical-specific risk assessment makes reasonable but is rare. Herein, we elucidated occurrence of twelve metal compounds in shrimp and fish (edible muscle, one of major metal-containing and generally targeted organs), water, sediment, and feedstuff from two aquaculture ponds in Zhejiang Province (one of the major aquatic production and consumption areas). We detected Cd(II) (0.6 −71.4 μg kg –1 in 100 % prawn but 63 % fish), methylmercury (MeHg, 0.5 −7.1 μg kg –1 in 100 % fish but 61 % shrimp), Pb(II) (0.4 −1.0 μg kg –1 in 57 % fish and 39 % prawn), and trimethyltin and triethyltin (0.4 −0.7 μg kg –1 ), which were much lower than the maximum limits in China. Pb(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II) up to 0.38 mg kg –1 were main contaminants in sediment while Cd(II) and Pb(II) up to 0.44 mg kg –1 were major contaminants in feedstuff compared with Cd(II), Sn(II), Hg(II), and Pb(II) majored in water at ng L –1 levels. Ecological risks were low in water but high for tributyltin in sediment. Additionally, light bioaccumulation of Cd(II) from sediment for prawn and methylmercury from feedstuff/sediment for crucian and bighead carp was induced. We also found light health risk of triethyl- and trimethyl lead, and Cd(II) (to children) associated with fish/shrimp consumption (edible muscle). This study proved high necessity of chemical-specific assessment, and shall trigger increasing interest to more metallic compounds in a wide range of uncultured and cultured plants and animals.

To address the ecological and health risks associated with residual tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in water, a green-synthesized adsorbent composed of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), citric acid (CA), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) was developed for the effective removal of TCH from wastewater. The synthetic parameters were optimized, and the resulting PEG-CA-β-CD MOF was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, and SE. TGA analysis indicated an increase in the thermal stability. The maximum adsorption capacity of PEG-CA-β-CD MOF for TCH was 221.6 mg/g at pH = 4. Adsorption kinetics were well-described by the Elovich equation model, while the Freundlich isothermal model accurately described the equilibrium data adsorption Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. Furthermore, the adsorbent maintained 84 % of its initial adsorption capacity after four reuse cycles. Analysis using zeta potential, FT-IR, and XPS confirmed that the possible adsorption mechanism of TCH mainly involves electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and cavity encapsulation. Finally, simulated wastewater experiments showed that PEG-CA-β-CD MOF was able to adsorb TCH efficiently even in the presence of other pollutants. Overall, due to its green synthesis process, low cost, ease of regeneration, and multi-mechanistic adsorption capability, the PEG-CA-β-CD MOF exhibits significant potential for TCH removal in wastewater treatment.

In this study, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) was employed to augment the array of chiral recognition sites, thereby enhancing the affinity of GQDs/β-CD composite for imprinting molecules and realizing heightened chiral selectivity. The incorporation of GQDs/β-CD into the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), synergizing with the host-guest inclusion properties of β-CD and the abundant carboxyl groups of GQDs, enhanced the chiral recognition capacity of MIPs materials. Consequently, a novel MIPs/(GQDs/β-CD) sensor with chiral recognition capabilities tailored for D-carnitine was successfully fabricated. The binding mechanism between GQDs/β-CD and D-carnitine was elucidated via Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The variation in the response signal (ΔI) of the probe molecule exhibited a linear correlation with the logarithm of D-carnitine concentration (lgC) in the range of 1.0 × 10−12mol/L to 1.0 × 10−9mol/L, and the detection limit (3δ/S) was calculated as 2.35 × 10−13mol/L. These results underscore a 7.15-fold enhancement in the selectivity of MIPs/(GQDs/β-CD) sensor for D-carnitine recognition. Moreover, the sensor presented commendable efficacy in real-world scenarios, yielding recovery rates ranging from 98.5% to 103.0% during the determination of D-carnitine content in real samples.

Herein, we report a method that combined “aptamer-locker” DNA with CRISPR/Cas12a-based biosensing for sensitive and rapid melamine analysis. Three strategies were harnessed for designing the DNA sensors that were well characterized by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) in the absence and presence of melamine. The detection parameters were optimized to achieve good analytic performance. As a result, a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 38 nM was achieved, which is below the threshold (1.0 mg/kg) of allowable melamine in infant milk products. In addition, the sensors show high selectivity for melamine against other analogues such as cyanuric acid , ammeline and ammelide . Moreover, our method was effective for rapid melamine analysis in whole milk samples, with or without sample pretreatment , in less than 20 min. Adopting a commercially available portable fluorimeter, on-site analysis of melamine in milk was accomplished. The strategies demonstrated here can expand to detect other non-nucleic-acid targets by simply replacing the aptamers.

Developing an ultra-thin polyamide selective layer with sufficient mechanical robustness on a highly porous ceramic substrate is challenging for removing heavy metal ions from wastewater. We synthesized a reliable ceramic-polyamide membrane by assembling nanocomposite interlayers of alumina and carbon black on the kaolin substrate. The surface morphology, pore size distribution, and roughness of ceramic substrates were improved by introducing the nanocomposite interlayer. The corresponding optimized water flux , Pb(II), and Cd(II) removal efficiency are 2.75 L m −2 h −1 , 98.44%, and 97.51%, respectively, which are better than those of the polyamide films constructed directly on the ceramic substrate. This facile structure provides more active sites for forming ultrathin polyamide layers with satisfactory mechanical robustness. This paper provides a new perspective for fabricating efficient heavy metal ions filters.

The unintended leakage of endocrine-disrupting bisphenol A (BPA) from different industries into the aquatic environment has posed a severe threat to aquatic lives and human health. Herein, we explored a hydrothermal method to synthesize superparamagnetic β-cyclodextrin-cobalt ferrite (β-CD-CoFe 2 O 4 ) catalyst for the selective capturing and efficient degradation of BPA through heterogeneous activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). The as-prepared catalysts were systematically characterized through multi-techniques to explore the relationship between their catalytic performance and material properties. Results showed that, in β-CD-CoFe 2 O 4 /PMS system, the degradation rate of BPA reached 99.23% in 60 min with a rate constant of 0.0708 min −1 , approximately 16.09 times than CoFe 2 O 4 /PMS system (0.0044 min −1 ). Specifically, the large surface area and availability of more reactive sites of β-CD-CoFe 2 O 4 boosted the activation process of PMS compared to pristine CoFe 2 O 4 , thus enhancing the degradation of BPA. Meanwhile, the effect of different operational parameters and co-existing anions on BPA degradation were also investigated. The generation of free radicals ( S O 4 ∙ - , ∙ O H , O 2 ∙ - , a n d 1 O 2 ) in the β-CD-CoFe 2 O 4 /PMS system liable for reducing BPA was corroborated through electron paramagnetic resonance analysis and quenching experiments. The possible degradation pathways of BPA were proposed based on the identification of reaction intermediates formed during the mineralization process. In brief, the findings of this study suggested that β-CD-CoFe 2 O 4 is an efficient and environmentally friendly catalyst that facilitated the degradation of BPA through PMS activation. Moreover, the excellent magnetic separation, stability, and reusability of the β-CD-CoFe 2 O 4 catalyst make them promising candidates for their water purification applications.

Contamination of foodstuffs with harmful substances poses a significant food safety challenge. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), being biodegradable and environmentally friendly, hold considerable potential for removing such contaminants from grain. In this study, water was introduced as a third component to form novel ternary deep eutectic water-based solvents (DEWSs). These were combined with soyasaponin to enhance the system's surfactant properties and improve removal efficiency. The research primarily investigated the removal efficacy, optimal conditions, and mechanisms of 12 DEWSs for the removal of harmful elements in grain. Experimental results indicate that the presence of water and specific concentrations of soyasaponin significantly enhanced the removal efficiency of three DESs (choline chloride + urea (DEU), choline chloride + citric acid (DEC), and choline chloride + xylitol (DEXY)) for harmful elements. Among these, DEWXY 3 (DEXY:H₂O = 1:1) and DEWC 2 (DEC:H₂O = 7:3) demonstrated optimal removal efficiencies for arsenic and cadmium, respectively, achieving 71.59% and 97.51%. Both the molecular interactions between DEWSs and As/Cd and the interfacial modulation provided by soyasaponin acted synergistically to promote the removal of As and Cd. This system significantly enhanced the removal of As and Cd while preserving the primary composition and structural integrity of brown rice flour, providing novel insights and technical references for food safety remediation.

The trigonal planar unit possesses significant hyperpolarizability and polarizability anisotropy, which makes it useful for optimizing nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, however, chalcogenide with this unit has seldom been reported. In this work, a novel approach is introduced by integrating the unprecedented trigonal planar MS 3 (M = Cd/In, Hg/In) motifs into the nearly optically isotropic tetrahedral units, resulting in two novel chalcogenides CsM 2 In 2 S 6 (M = Cd/In, 1 ; Hg/In, 2 ). Notably, structures 1 and 2 feature nearly planar triangular units at the center, encircled by three trimers, further interconnecting each other to create 3D frameworks. Importantly, phases 1 and 2 display phase-matching (PM) capabilities, primarily attributed to incorporating trigonal planar MS 3 units that additionally enhance polarizability anisotropy. Furthermore, compounds 1 and 2 demonstrate moderate second-harmonic generation (SHG) signals (0.70 and 0.84 × AgGaS2@1.7 µm). This study pioneers an efficient strategy for the design of infrared NLO crystals with PM capabilities.

In this study, non-noble metal Cd decorated cubic phase CdS (CdS/Cd) thin layer on a millimeter-scale chitosan-Mg(OH) 2 xerogel beads (CMB) were elaborately designed and successfully synthesized via facile hydrated electrons (e aq •− ) assistant strategy. The in-situ formation of metallic Cd was driven by e aq •− generated from UV/Na 2 SO 3 process. Owing to metallic Cd, CMB@CdS/Cd exhibited better visible-light absorption ability and more efficient separation capability for photo-induced carriers, its hydrogen production efficiency was about threefold improved compared to CMB@CdS. Both characterization methods and density functional theory calculations determined a built-in electric field from metallic Cd to CdS and Ohmic-contact between Cd and CdS, which largely promoted the carriers transfer efficiency. Moreover, the introduction of metallic Cd on the CdS could reduce the ΔG H* , thus greatly boosting the photocatalytic hydrogen production efficiency. This work provides a simple and green approach to construct metallic Cd coupled semiconductor to achieve efficient photocatalytic applications.

Deep investigations on the synthetic and structural chemistry of heterometallic chalcogenidostannates bear fundamental significance for the establishment of the structure–property relationship that would offer guidance on the functional material innovation. Presented here are four ammonium- and/or alkylammonium-directed M–Sn–Q (M = Zn, Cd; Q = S, Se) compounds, namely, [NH4]7[H3O]3Zn4Sn4S17 (1), [NH4]5[(CH3)2NH2]Zn4Sn5S17 (2), [CH3CH2NH3]22Zn16Sn12Se51(H2O)4·16H2O (3), and [NH4]2CdSnSe4 (4). All four compounds were synthesized in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) or ethylamine aqueous solution, both of which function simultaneously as reaction media and structure-directing agents. Compound 1 consists of discrete P1-[Zn4Sn4S17]10– clusters templated by mixed [NH4]+/[H3O]+ cations. In compound 2, such P1 clusters are bridged by Sn4+ ions in a 4,4-connection mode to form a [Zn4Sn5S17]n6n– framework with three types of cavities (I–III) varying in size. The two smaller cavities (I and II) accommodate NH4+ while the larger one(III) is occupied by [(CH3)2NH2]+, reflecting the rational size-dependence of cations on cavities. Compound 3 features an [Zn16Sn12Se51(H2O)4]n22n– open framework constructed from the 4,3-connection of P1-[Zn4Sn4Se17]10– clusters and {Zn(H2O)}2+ bridges. This linkage mode contributes to a large cage-like subunit (inner dimension: 21.99 × 9.06 Å2) and therefore an ultrahigh porosity that are occupied by [CH3CH2NH3]+ cations and water molecules (volume fraction: 57.7%). Compound 4 exists as a stacking of [CdSnSe4]n2n– chains, which are composed of alternatively arranged {CdSe4} and {SnSe4} tetrahedra, in combination with [NH4]+ cations as both charge-compensating and space-filling agents. Detailed synthetic, structural, and topological analyses were performed on these solid materials, coupled with extensive investigations on their optical and thermal properties. Compound 3 exhibits an efficient Sr2+ adsorption performance, featuring ultrafast kinetics (94.69% in 5 min), high removal rate (98.57% in 20 min) at equilibrium, and high capacity (104.17 ± 23.53 mg g–1).
