Pb(II) is a prevalent heavy metal ion classified as a 2B carcinogen. Excessive intake of Pb(II) in the human body can damage the central nervous system, kidneys, liver, and immune system, leading to permanent brain damage, anemia, and cancer. Colorimetry can be applied to rapidly determine Pb(II) residues, but there are still many challenges in the accuracy and sensitivity of detection. Based on the inhibitory impact of Pb(II) on the oxidase-like activity of octahedral silver oxide (Ag 2 O), a colorimetric sensor with smartphone-assisted analysis for the Pb(II) detection was first developed. Herein, it has been found that Pb(II) can adsorb onto the surface of octahedral Ag 2 O, hindering the production of O 2 − in the reaction system. This ultimately results in the suppression of oxidase-like activity, leading to a lighter purple appearance of the colorimetric reaction solution. The sensor exhibits a high degree of sensitivity and a limit of detection (LOD) for Pb(II) was calculated as 2.2 μg L −1 . Hence, the developed colorimetric sensor with high sensitivity, excellent specificity, and high tolerance to sodium ions is hopeful to have practical applications in Pb(II) detection in environmental water samples. Moreover, the sensor will provide a novel strategy for heavy metal ion detection and other substances.

A novel method is introduced for extracting and enriching Cd(II) and Pb(II) from edible oils using glutathione disulfide (GSSG) as both an extractant and a phase-separation agent. The ions in the oils were initially extracted into an aqueous solution containing GSSG. After mixing the solution with acetonitrile at the appropriate volume ratio, a new phase formed, resulting in enrichment of the analytes. The experimental conditions were optimized using response surface methodology with a central composite design. Under optimal conditions, the method offered a combined enrichment factor of >660, with combined extraction efficiencies of 84.31% and 83.35% for Cd(II) and Pb(II), respectively. Finally, the method was conjugated to capillary electrophoresis to determine Cd(II) and Pb(II) in edible oil samples, with detection limits of 0.45 and 1.24 ppb, respectively. In comparison to traditional approaches, the GSSG-based method demonstrates rapidity, efficiency, and recyclability in extracting heavy metal ions from complex matrices.

A novel structure-switching “turn-on” fluorometric aptasensor was developed for simultaneous detection of Hg(II) and Pb(II) in grapes, broccoli, and cabbage. The sensing mechanism utilizes fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a FAM-labeled aptamer (FAM-Apt) and a BHQ1-labeled complementary strand (CS-BHQ1). In the absence of target ions, FAM-Apt and CS- BHQ1 bind through complementary base pairing, bringing FAM and BHQ1 into close proximity, which induces FRET and quenches FAM’s fluorescence. Target ion binding induces a conformational change in the FAM-Apt, disrupting FRET and restoring fluorescence. Optimized parameters include reagent addition sequence, Apt and CS concentrations, incubation times, buffer conditions, and salt concentrations. Under optimized conditions, the aptasensor achieved limits of detection (LODs) of 2.29 μg/L for Hg(II) and 0.24 μg/L for Pb(II), much lower than the regulatory limits for fruits and vegetables, and the limits of quantification (LOQ) for food samples were 6.02 μg/kg and 2.07 μg/kg, respectively. Furthermore, the constructed aptasensor could rapidly complete detection within 22.5 min and demonstrated high selectivity against interfering ions. Spiked sample recoveries ranged from 98.07-104.12% for Hg(II) and 89.23-105.46% for Pb(II), with relative standard deviations of 0.95-5.64% and 1.21-14.53%, respectively. This aptasensor provides a sensitive, rapid, and cost-effective alternative to conventional detection methods.

Developing advanced electromagnetic wave absorption (EMWA) materials is crucial for curbing electromagnetic pollution. This study presents the synthesis of core–shell Fe/Fe 3 O 4 /C composites, FFC-700 and FFC-800, derived from Prussian blue@covalent organic framework (PB@COF) via pyrolysis at 700 and 800 °C, and the hollow FFC-900 at 900 °C. Their chemical compositions, microstructures, and EMWA performances were thoroughly examined. FFC-700 and FFC-800, featuring core–shell structures and abundant interfaces, facilitate electron transfer and enhance polarization effects. Notably, FFC-700 achieved a minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of − 75.82 dB at an ultrathin thickness of 1.45 mm, with an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 6.22 GHz at 1.66 mm, spanning the entire Ku-band. FFC-800 also provides substantial EMWA performance, with an RL min of − 30.14 dB at 1.61 mm and an EAB of 6.08 GHz at 1.67 mm, also covering the Ku-band. Radar cross-section (RCS) simulations reveal the absorbers’ exceptional radar stealth, with their coatings significantly reducing RCS values. The composites’ adjustable structure, balanced composition, and dielectric-magnetic synergy optimize impedance matching for full-Ku-band coverage. This work offers a promising approach to fabricating efficient EMWA materials from PBA@COF and MOF@COF precursors.

The intrinsic structural lability and limited processability of inorganic halide perovskites heavily hamper their commercial applications. Herein, we develop a facile and scalable room-temperature (RT) water-based procedure for the synthesis of Na–Cu-codoped CsPbIxBr3–x-embedded Pb(OH)I (denoted as the Na–Cu–CsPbIxBr3–x@Pb(OH)I) composite to overcome the above-mentioned bottlenecks. Compared to Na doping, the codoping with Na and Cu leads to a slight shift of the photoluminescence (PL) peak position from ∼612 to 622 nm, increases the PL intensity by 32.5 times, and improves the PL quantum yield from 1% to 5%. Notably, the optimized Na–Cu–CsPbIxBr3–x@Pb(OH)I composite displays outstanding stability under various harsh environments such as soaking in RT water or hot water (up to 90 °C) and annealing at high temperature, which indicates that Pb(OH)I can act as an effective water-blocking and protective encapsulation layer. It is more interesting that the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of Na–Cu–CsPbIxBr3–x@Pb(OH)I can be significantly increased to 2.17 and 1.29 times after soaking the sample in RT water for 35 and 105 days, respectively, and 1.25 times even after immersing in hot water (90 °C) for 6 h, indicating an improved optical property. Meanwhile, the crystal structure and emission wavelength are maintained. The insight of this work is quite beneficial for designing highly stable inorganic perovskite-based nanomaterials for realization in light-emitting devices and other optoelectronic devices.

The simultaneous adsorption of U(VI), Pb(II), and humic acid (HA) in water solutions on a nanoscale zerovalent iron/molybdenum disulfide (nZVI/MoS2) composite was investigated using batch, spectroscopic, and modeling techniques. An increased removal of U(VI) and Pb(II) and a gradual decrease in HA removal on nZVI/MoS2 was observed with increasing pH from 2.0 to 7.0. The adsorption capacities of U(VI), Pb(II), and HA under ternary systems were 57.72, 40.43, and 55.43 mg/g (298 K, pH 4.0), respectively. In addition, nZVI/MoS2 exhibited good regeneration due to the high surface area and uniform distribution of nZVI. The interaction mechanism was demonstrated to be inner-sphere surface complexation by XPS analysis and surface complexation modeling (SCM). The presence of Pb(II) and HA inhibited U(VI) reduction into U(IV) by nZVI according to XPS analysis; meanwhile, two inner-sphere complexation reactions (weak and strong sites) rather than redox reactions were demonstrated by SCM. These findings showed that nZVI/MoS2 could be used as an efficient adsorbent for the high elimination of radionuclides, heavy metals, and organics in actual compound pollution of wastewater.

Activated carbon supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI/AC) has been proved to be versatile for removing several kinds of contaminants from environmental matrix. The structural properties of NZVI/AC composites play a crucial role in determining both the decontamination efficiency and adsorption capacity of these materials. However, studies relevant to structural evolution and corresponding manipulation routes for AC-supported NZVI are still scarce. Herein, AC-supported NZVI were prepared under different synthesis conditions followed by characterizing them using several techniques and evaluating their reactivity toward heavy metal in aqueous solution. NZVI/AC synthesized under different molecular weight of PEG and m AC :m Fe possessed a similar removal efficiencies of Pb(II) from aqueous solution, meanwhile, NZVI/AC synthesized with a suitably prolonged time at n BH4 :n Fe = 8.0 exhibited obvious enhancement for Pb(II) removal from aqueous solution. As for structural evolution of AC-supported NZVI, results show that the crystallization was more complete, the shape was converted from needle to sphere, the particle size was becoming smaller, the particle distribution was more homogeneous, the specific surface area was smaller, and the surface oxidation was lower as suitably increasing m AC :m Fe , n BH4 :n Fe , and reaction time. The size and density of iron precursor by complexation of PEG and Fe 2+ , and ratio of nuclei formation to growth values are essentially responsible for manipulating structure of AC-supported NZVI. Spherical AC-supported NZVI with higher iron content based on smaller particle size, uniform distribution, and lower surface oxidation in one is responsible for significant enhancement of Pb(II) removal rate and capacity thanks to higher surface reactivity, more accessible surface-active sites, and faster electron transfer from core to shell of iron. This study would provide a new insight into comprehending manipulation mechanism for the key structure of AC-supported NZVI composites for aquatic remediation.

The selective removal of highly toxic heavy metal ion Pb(II) from wastewater is of significant importance to the ecological environment and human health, while the development of high performance adsorbents for selective Pb(II) adsorption remains a big challenge. Herein, a cleverly designed heavy metal adsorbent over potassium and cyano modified carbon nitride (KCCN) is proposed, exhibiting excellent performance toward Pb(II) selective removal. The amino and cyano groups in KCCN are found high affinity to that of Pb(II) in such a potassium doped system, as a result showing an excellent Pb(II) selective adsorption performance in the presence of various ions without obviously changing the distribution coefficient K d value. In addition, the adsorption process is found to follow the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic, with a maximum adsorption capacity for Pb(Ⅱ) of 293.26 mg/g. Furthermore, no obvious adsorption capacity drop is found after five cycles of Pb(II) adsorption processes, demonstrating the high reusability on Pb(II) removal.

The growing issue of Pb 2+ ions contamination in marine environments necessitates the development of effective adsorbents to significantly mitigate this ecological challenge. In response, a novel composite material comprising layered double hydroxide (LDH), boron nitride (BN), and tin ferrite (SnFe 2 O 4 ) was synthesized for the removal of Pb 2+ ions. The synthesized SnFe 2 O 4 /BN/NiAl-LDH composite was characterized using FTIR, XRD, ZP, SEM, and XPS techniques. Pb 2+ ions removal reached equilibrium within 30 minutes, with a removal efficiency of 95.42%. Pb 2+ removal efficiency increased progressively in the following order based on the data: SnFe 2 O 4 /BN/NiAl-LDH (1:1) > SnFe 2 O 4 /BN/NiAl-LDH (3:1) > SnFe 2 O 4 /BN/NiAl-LDH (1:3). Furthermore, the experimental data were consistent with the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, as well as the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 434.8 mg/g. Notably, the composite retained over 70% removal efficiency after five cycles, demonstrating its efficient recyclability. In summary, SnFe 2 O 4 /BN/NiAl-LDH exhibits rapid and efficient adsorption, easy separation, and excellent recyclability.

A kind of new magnetic oyster shell (OS) composite (OS-Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @NH 2 @PEI) was synthesized and used as an adsorbent to remove carmine (CM), sunset yellow (SY) and Pb (II) from water. Firstly, Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanoparticles were introduced on the surface of waste oyster shell powder, then amino silanization was used to improve the stability of the material, and finally polyethylenimide (PEI) was grafted by Schiff base reaction. The composite was characterized by FT-IR, SEM, EDS, XPS , VSM, BET, TEM and zeta potential . The effects of adsorbent dosage and initial solution pH on the three samples were investigated by adsorption experiments. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms were investigated in depth under the best experimental conditions. The composite adsorbent not only selectively removed anionic azo dyes, but also had good recycling. In addition, OS-Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @NH 2 @PEI still had good performance in mixed samples. These results indicated that OS-Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @NH 2 @PEI was successfully used for the removal of a wide range of anionic dyes and heavy metal ions from the environment, and provided a new strategy for recycling waste.

Monochromatic excitation X-ray fluorescence (ME-XRF) spectrometry emerges as a novel technique in trace element analysis, distinguished by its simplicity, rapidity, and efficiency. Its application in forensic toxicology has grown significantly for identifying toxic trace metals in biological samples. This study further expands its utility by developing a method for the rapid determination of arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), thallium (Tl), and lead (Pb) in hair samples. Calibration curves were established using analytical reference samples, and optimal detection conditions were determined and validated. The LODs for As, Hg, Tl, and Pb were 0.03, 0.03, 0.03, and 0.05 μg g −1 , respectively. Method precision was evaluated through seven parallel analyses of samples within the concentration range of 0.27 to 20.051 μg g⁻ 1 , with relative standard deviations (RSDs) consistently below 10%. The feasibility of the ME-XRF technique for forensic toxicology analysis was validated through the analysis of authentic poisoned hair samples collected from the animal experiment.

The novel adsorbent of KMnO 4 -modified spent coffee grounds (KMnO 4 -SCGS) was successfully synthesized for the adsorption of Pb(II). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and other characterization measurements were employed to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of KMnO 4 -SCGS. The results demonstrated that the adsorption behavior of Pb(II) was best fitted by the pseudo-second-order, Ritchie, and Langmuir isothermal models, indicating that the surface of KMnO 4 -SCGS was composed of homogeneous adsorption. The surface complexes with manganese oxide (MnO x ) and oxygen-containing functional groups, along with electrostatic interaction, physical adsorption, and ion exchange, played significant roles in the adsorption of Pb(II). The Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity for Pb(II) was 203.8 mg/g for KMnO 4 -SCGS, which was approximately 11.73 times higher than that of SCGS, and it remained over 80% after five cycles. Finally, the Box-Behnken design was utilized to optimize the results. Therefore, the modification of spent coffee grounds by KMnO 4 is a feasible approach for the adsorption of Pb(II). Graphic
