The development of high-performance membranes for heavy metal remediation remains a key challenge in advanced water treatment. In this work, a hierarchically structured composite membrane was fabricated via a self-confined growth strategy, in which Zn(OH) 2 nanostrands immobilized MoS 2 and directed the in-situ growth of ZIF-8, forming a defect-free interlayer for robust polyamide (PA) deposition. The resulting ZM15-PA membrane exhibits a highly hydrophilic surface with a contact angle of 31.5°, a strong positive surface charge under acidic conditions, and excellent water permeability reaching 83.5 L m -2 h -1 . Most notably, the membrane achieves an ultrahigh Pb(II) rejection rate of 99.2%, consistently reducing effluent concentrations to less than 10 μg L -1 , even in the presence of coexisting ions and dissolved organic matter. Mechanistic investigations reveal that Pb(II) removal is governed by synergistic mechanisms including electrostatic repulsion, molecular sieving, and coordination interactions involving Pb-S, Pb-O, and Pb-N bonds. Furthermore, the membrane demonstrates outstanding antifouling resistance, long-term operational stability, and antibacterial efficiency exceeding 99% under photo-Fenton conditions. These findings highlight the promise of self-confined growth strategies for stabilizing two-dimensional materials and developing multifunctional membranes for selective heavy metal removal in complex water matrices.

Amino-functionalized Fe 3 O 4 @carbon microspheres (NH 2 −Fe 3 O 4 @C) were prepared and the electrochemical sensor was constructed using NH 2 −Fe 3 O 4 @C modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) to determine toxic heavy metals in aqueous solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the structure and phase of NH 2 −Fe 3 O 4 @C. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results indicate that NH 2 −Fe 3 O 4 @C modified GCE possesses large active area and excellent electron transfer. Under optimized electrochemical condition, Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) were determined using NH 2 −Fe 3 O 4 @C modified GCE. The electrode through amino functionalization exhibits higher sensitivity and lower detection limit toward Cd(II) and Cu(II) due to the acid-base pairing interaction between the electron-rich −NH 2 ligand and the electron-deficient heavy metal ions. Compared with other similar results reported in the literature, the NH 2 −Fe 3 O 4 @C modified electrode exhibits wider linear response range while with comparable lower detection limit. It also exhibits excellent stability, reproducibility and anti-interference ability.

This study developed recyclable magnetic layered double oxide beads (Mag-LDO) for composting with heavy metal-contaminated soil and agricultural waste, aiming to reduce heavy metals (HMs) concentration and bioavailable forms, enhance humification, and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Results showed that a 5 % addition of Mag-LDO increased humic acid (HA) formation by 16.02 % and significantly reduced total Cd and Pb by 18.38 % and 21.93 %, respectively, compared to the control group. Moreover, it effectively reduced BF-Cd and BF-Pb by 16.31 % and 10.37 %, respectively. These results demonstrated its potential for enhancing humification and remediating HM-contaminated soil. The analysis of microbial community and Mantel-test showed that Mag-LDO facilitated the formation of HA mainly by modulating the microbial community. Meantime, Mag-LDO not only adsorbed Pb and Cd via ion exchange and precipitation processes to reduce the mobile forms of these metals, but also enhanced the stabilized state of HMs through increasing HA in compost and proliferating Bacillus and Pseudomonas . Furthermore, recovering the Mag-LDO adsorbed HMs could decrease the total HM content in the compost. These findings contribute to advancing new perspectives for the HMs removal and the promotion of humification during composting.

A platform for the determination of Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) has been proposed based on a novel diamond/graphite (D/G) nanoplatelets film electrode using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry method. The microstructure and the composition of the film were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The D/G nanoplatelets structure with two-dimensional diamond nanoplatelet as the stem and highly conducting graphite layers as shells exhibits large specific surface and great electrical conductivity, significantly enhancing the electron transport in the electrochemical reaction. Under the optimum conditions, wide linear ranges and high sensitivity were achieved. In the typical detection process, two linear working ranges were obtained due to the incomplete anodic removal and the limits of detection (LODs) were estimated to be 1.72 μg L −1 , 0.47 μg L −1 , 4.86 μg L −1 and 0.45 μg L −1 for Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II), respectively. The simultaneous detections also verify the superior analytical performance with linear ranges from 10 μg L −1 to 250 μg L −1 and low LODs. Herein, we present a novel diamond/graphite nanoplatelets electrode without any modification/functionalization for the sensitive detection of trace heavy metal ions .

Accurately predicting the accumulation and toxicity of metals in organisms is a challenging work in ecotoxicology . Here, we developed and validated a physiologically based toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic (PBTK-TD) model for adult zebrafish exposed to Cd and Pb. The model included the gill, liver, intestine, gonad, carcass, and brain, which were linked by blood circulation in the PBTK process and by dynamic relationships between the target organ concentrations and mortality in the TD process. Results showed that the PBTK sub-model can accurately describe and predict the uptake, distribution and disposition kinetics of Cd and Pb in zebrafish. The exchange rates and the accumulation of the metals in the organs were significantly different. For Cd, the highest exchange rate was between blood and liver, and the greatest accumulation of Cd occurred in the liver. For Pb, the greatest accumulation occurred in the gill. The TD sub-model further indicated that metal concentrations in the gill may effectively act as more suitable indicator of Cd and Pb toxic effect than whole body or other organs. The proposed PBTK-TD model is helpful to understanding the fundamental processes by which zebrafish regulate the uptake and disposition of metal and to quantitatively predicting metal toxicity.

Pb(II) can accumulate in the body and gradually cause irreversible harm. In this work, a dual-mode colorimetric biosensor based on an aptamer was developed as an effective method for sensitive sensing of Pb(II). The aptamers were immobilized on silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) by Ag–S bonding to increase the active sites on the electrode surface. Gold–palladium bimetallic nanoparticles (Au@Pd NPs) can not only serve as signal indicators but also play a role as nanozymes. On the one hand, Au@Pd NPs were modified on the aptamer to improve the conductivity of the sensor for the detection of Pb(II) by the electrochemical method of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). On the other hand, Au@Pd NPs were porous nanomaterials with numerous active sites on their surface that can catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in solution to generate O 2 , so that 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was oxidized to blue oxTMB, enabling the visual prediction of Pb(II). At the same time, with the property that 8–17 deoxyribozyme and metal ions can co-catalyze, it promoted the binding of Au@Pd NPs functionalized aptamer to the electrode in the presence of Pb(II) and enhanced the electrochemical signal. Under optimal conditions, the detection range of Pb(II) was 1—1000 nmol L −1 , and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.4 nmol L −1 . The biosensor has been successfully applied to the detection of edible mushroom samples. Graphical abstract

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 synthesis conditions of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) have been optimized by a response surface method using central composite design (CCD) to obtain the high adsorption capability for the Pb(II) removal in aqueous solution. The physic-chemical properties of the as-prepared ZIF-8, such as morphology, structure and chemical composition, were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The adsorption capability, influence factors, isotherms, thermodynamics, kinetics and mechanism of Pb(II) in aqueous solutions were investigated. The optimal parameters of which have the highest adsorption capability for Pb(II) were 200 mL of water as the solvent, and the molar mass ratio of 2-methylimidazole and Zn(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O was 45.63. At this condition, the as-prepared ZIF-8 was a pure hexagonal three-dimensional crystal structure. The equilibrium adsorption capacity up to 668 mg/g for 300 mg/L of initial Pb(II) solutions and the adsorption was a spontaneous process. The largest adsorption capacity from Langmuir isotherm model was 686.25 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model. The equilibrium adsorption time and the optimal adsorption pH was 4 h and 6.0–7.0, respectively. The ZIF-8 still kept well adsorption effect after three times of usage. Therefore, this study showed that ZIF-8 is a promising sorbent for removing environmental pollutants.

A self-calibrated ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor was developed for the detection of ochratoxin A. This sensor is based on DNA-mediated gold/prussian blue nanoflowers (Au/PB NFs), methylene blue/platinum/zinc-cobalt metal-organic framework (MB/Pt/ZnCo MOF), and an exonuclease III (Exo III)–driven bipedal DNA walker cyclic amplification strategy. The self-calibration mechanism of this sensor relies on the ratio between the response signal of MB/Pt/ZnCo MOF (I MB ) and the internal reference signal of Au/PB NFs (I PB ). This ratio can effectively resist external interference factors. DNA-mediated Au/PB NFs with a flower-like structure provide stable internal reference signals and promote electron transfer. MB/Pt/ZnCo MOF, leveraging ZnCo MOF with a porous structure and bimetallic synergistic effects, and Pt with electrocatalytic activity, serve as response signals. An Exo III–driven biped DNA walker was used to realize the cyclic amplification strategy. The sensor showed a wide linear range of 0.001~500 ng/mL, with a low limit of detection of 0.17 pg/mL. The detection capability of spiked corn flour, wine, and coffee powder samples was satisfactory, and the detection results for the quality control samples of coarse rice flour and wheat flour were not significantly different from those of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), showing the potential for practical application.

Polycrystalline SnSe has attracted significant attention due to its facile processing, machinability, and scale-up application. However, n-type polycrystalline SnSe consistently exhibits inferior thermoelectric performance compared to p-type polycrystalline, because SnSe is an intrinsic p-type semiconductor. Here, we promoted the thermoelectric performance of n-type polycrystalline SnSe through manipulating the band structure and dislocations. The band convergence and enhanced density of states in the electronic structure of SnSe promoted by Pb/Ge/Br codoping, lead to significant enhanced Seebeck coefficient. The carrier concentration was simultaneously enhanced through Ge/Pb/Br codoping. The combination of a large Seebeck coefficient and the enhanced electrical conductivity gives rise to a high power factor as high as 7.47 μW cm −1 K −2 at 873 K. Furthermore, we found that dopants induce strong atomic strain disturbance in the SnSe matrix because of large differences in atom radius with host elements, leading to the formation of high-density dislocations. The presence of dislocations and nanoprecipitates forms strong phonon scattering centers, effectively scattering phonons and suppressing lattice thermal conductivity. As a result, a high peak ZT of 1.6 has been obtained in n-type Sn 1.04 Ge 0.02 Pb 0.02 Se 0.97 Br 0.03 .

A novel thiol-grafted magnetic polymer (MPPs-SH) was synthesized by “click reaction” between 1,2-ethanedithiol and Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @poly (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate -co- glycidyl methacrylate). The resultant MPPs-SH had high S content (5.4 wt%) and exhibited large specific surface area (156.8 m 2 g −1 ) as well as high adsorption capacity of 254, 64.2, 56.6 mg g −1 for mercury, cadmium and lead ions , respectively. With the prepared MPPs-SH as sorbent , a method of magnetic solid phase extraction combined with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was developed for the quantification of trace mercury, cadmium and lead in environmental water samples. The extraction conditions including sample pH, sample volume, sorbent amount, adsorption/desorption time and elution volume were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, three heavy metal ions were extracted from 150 mL aqueous solution in 10 min and eluted by 0.2 mol L −1 HNO 3 containing 2% thiourea in 5 min. The method presented low limits of detection (0.21, 0.82 and 2.9 ng L −1 ) for target ions. The accuracy of the method was validated by using Certified Reference Materials of Environmental Water including GSB 07–1185–2000 (201435), GSB 07–1183–2000 (201239) and GSB 07–3173–2014 (202046). The application potential was further validated by the determination of trace mercury, cadmium and lead in Yangtze river and East lake water samples. The content of target heavy metal ions in tested water sample was found to be in the range of 6.40–195 ng L −1 , and the recoveries of 86.4–109% were obtained at three spiking concentration levels for mercury, cadmium and lead ions.

Flotation reagents and heavy metal ions always coexist in mineral flotation wastewaters, arousing serious environmental issues or having deleterious effects on mineral flotation. In this work, the steel slag was adopted as a cost-effective adsorbent to synergically remove butyl xanthate (BX), diethyl dithiocarbamate (DDTC), Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions. At the steel slag dosage of 12.0 g/L, Cu(II) and Pb(II) concentrations decreased from 4.0 mg/L to below 10.0 μg/L, and the removal of COD reached 54.33%. The removal efficiency of COD increased from 11.36% to 57.49% as Cu(II) and Pb(II) concentrations rose from 0 to 8.0 mg/L, revealing the promotion effects of metallic ions on collector adsorption. The maximum uptake capacity of steel slag reached 110.45 and 160.48 mg/g for Cu(II) and Pb(II), respectively. The collector adsorption capacity of steel slag increased nearly two magnitudes after modifying with the uptake of Cu(II) or Pb(II) ions. The SEM/EDS, XPS and FTIR analysis indicated that steel slag could be in-situ modified to generate copper or lead hydroxides and oxides during the removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions. Subsequently, these precipitates acted as reactive sites for chelating BX and DDTC to form indissolvable metal-collector chelates. Owing to in-situ modification of steel slag by uptaking metallic ions, the adsorption was potentially feasible for treating flotation wastewaters.
