Non-noble metal Cd nanoparticles, as an efficient cocatalyst, are successfully constructed onto the surface of hexagonal CdS nanorods (CdS NRs) for the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction by a facile in situ chemical reduction approach based on a thermal treatment process. The in situ introduction of Cd can significantly improve the photocatalytic H 2 production performance of CdS NRs in sodium sulfide and sodium sulfite aqueous solutions under visible light irradiation. The superior electrical conductivity of metallic Cd and the intimate interfacial contact between Cd and CdS NRs are suggested to account for the enhanced light absorption intensity, more efficient charge separation, and faster interfacial charge migration, resulting in the dramatically promoted photocatalytic H 2 production activity. This work provides a new route for the in situ deposition of Cd nanoparticles onto CdS and other Cd-containing semiconductor photocatalysts with desired morphologies.

The available heavy metals in soil samples can cause the direct toxicity on ecosystems, plants, and human health. Traditional chemical extraction and recombinant bacterial methods for the available heavy metals assay often suffer from inaccuracy and poor specificity. In this work, we construct half adder and half subtractor molecular logic gates with molecular-level biocomputation capabilities for the intelligent sensing of the available lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). The available Pb and Cd can cleave DNAzyme sequences to release the trigger DNA , which can activate the hairpin probe assembly in the logic system. This multifunctional logic system can not only achieve the intelligent recognition of the available Pb and Cd according to the truth tables, but also can realize the simultaneous quantification with high sensitivity, with the detection limits of 2.8 pM and 25.6 pM, respectively. The logic biosensor is robust and has been applied to determination of the available Pb and Cd in soil samples with good accuracy and reliability. The relative error (Re) between the logic biosensor and the DTPA + ICP-MS method was from −8.1 % to 7.9 %. With the advantages of programmability, scalability, and multicomputing capacity, the molecular logic system can provide a simple, rapid, and smart method for intelligent monitoring of the available Pb and Cd in environmental samples.

In this study, a tumor-targeting and pH-sensitive inclusion complex based on the host–guest recognition between the chitosan and folic acid grafted HP-β-CD (FA–CS–CD) and stearic acid modified 2-benzimidazolemethanol (BM-SA) was designed and fabricated for the controlled delivery of paclitaxel (PTX). Through the combination of computational simulations and experiments, the interaction between FA–CS–CD, BM-SA, and PTX was investigated, and the optimized preparation method was obtained. For the optimized PTX-loaded FA–CS–CD/BM-SA inclusion complex, the particle size and zeta potential were 146 nm and +15.4 mV, respectively. In vitro drug release study revealed the pH-triggered drug release behavior of the inclusion complex. Both in vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrated that the PTX-loaded FA–CS–CD/BM-SA inclusion complex exhibited enhanced antitumor efficiency and minimized systemic toxicity. This system might be a promising carrier for PTX.

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has been widely used for the preconcentration and stabilization of various heavy metal pollutants in both the water and soil environment. Nonetheless, there still exists a gap between its synthesis conditions, physicochemical properties and removal performances. Under such a research background, three HAP materials were synthesized via a modified co-precipitation approach by varying initial Ca/P molar ratios (i.e., 4/3, 5/3 and 6/3) and used for capturing toxic cadmium (Cd(II)) from an aqueous solution. According to the experimental results, the three synthesized HAP samples were all the Ca-deficient type and the actual Ca/P molar ratio was in the increasing order of HAP4/3 < HAP5/3 < HAP6/3. In particular, the HAP4/3 sample exhibited higher Cd(II) removal performance due to its higher specific surface area (SSA) value and abundant Ca-deficient sites. More than 93% of Cd(II) was removed within an extremely short period of 5 min and a complete removal was achieved at a prolonged contact time of 24 h. The sorption behavior of Cd(II) was independent of ionic strength variation and scarcely influenced by various inorganic electrolyte ions, low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) and competing heavy metal ions . The desorption data of Cd(II)-containing HAP phases, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses pointed to a predominant removal mechanism of lattice incorporation with a minor contribution of inner-sphere surface complexation. The experimental findings demonstrated the significant application potential of Ca-deficient HAP material for the cost-effective treatment of Cd(II)-polluted water systems.

Advancing room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is pivotal for optoelectronics, yet a key challenge lies in precisely controlling exciton dynamics to boost RTP efficiency. This study presents a strategic approach to enhance RTP in 0D d 10 metal halides by engineering the inorganic units [MBr 4 ] 2– ( M ═Zn, Cd). Using a π-conjugated ligand as organic template, we constructed a pair of isostructural hybrid bromides with 0D “host-guest” structure, namely (PTPP) 2 MBr 4 (PTPP = Pentyltriphenylphosphonium, M ═Zn and Cd). They exhibit the cyan afterglow originating from the RTP emission of PTPP + (T 1 →S 0 ), whose efficiency and lifetime surpass those of the pristine organic chromophore due to enhanced structural rigidity. Importantly, the substitution of Zn 2+ by heavier Cd 2+ triggers a dual role: a stronger heavy-atom effect and a band-edge arrangement transform from Type II to reverse Type I. The phosphorescence quantum yields (Φ P ) increase dramatically from 10.2% ( M ═Zn) to 45.75% ( M ═Cd). The Cd 2+ -system provides more efficient intersystem crossing (ISC) channels (S 1 →T n ) and faster ISC rate, accounting for superior RTP efficiency. Furthermore, they can be employed in multi-level anti-counterfeiting and information encryption. This work elucidates the dual functionality of d 10 metal center in modulating spin-orbit coupling and electronic structure, providing new insights for the rational design of RTP materials.

The back contact adhesion is the important factor of the microstructural performance which can determine the optoelectronic properties of the kesterite-based solar cells. Here, we present a rational and effective strategy to significantly enhance the back contact adhesion of Cu 2 (Zn,Cd)Sn(S,Se) 4 (CZCTSSe) absorber layers by insetting the appropriate thickness carbon-doping CZCTS thin films . We chose the oleylamine as the carbon-doping reagent which can generate a small amount of carbon in the annealing process . The suitable thickness carbon-doping CZCTS films can significantly change the crystal growth mechanism of CZCTSSe absorber layers, and eliminate the holes in the back contact. The efficiency of CZCTSSe solar cells fabricated by insetting the appropriate thickness carbon-doping CZCTS films is above 7%, and shows the excellent repeatability and long-term air stability compared with the control devices.

Development of carbonaceous materials from biomass have attracted tremendous research interest because of their intriguing physicochemical properties and promising applications. However, endowing them with precisely controlled morphologies remains a formidable challenge. Herein, oxygen-functionalized biomass-derived carbon-nanosheets (CNSs) framework was synthesized using ball-milling ultrasonic exfoliation for their application to remove cadmium Cd(II) from water matrices. The obtained CNSs showed remarkably higher surface area (368.9 m 2 /g), thickness-range (∼6–8 nm) and pore size (10.58 nm) than pristine carbon (PC) (10.126 m 2 /g, 1–2 µm and 2.13 nm, respectively). CNSs demonstrated higher adsorption capacity (545.76 mg g −1 ), superior reusability (removal efficiency maintained >91 % after 10 cycles) and excellent selectivity (K d = 4.7 × 10 6 mL g −1 ). The adsorption isotherm and kinetics data were better fitted by Langmuir and pseudo-second order models. High adsorption selectivity of CNSs led to 97.7 % Cd(II) adsorption in presence of Cu(II), Zn(II), Pb(II) and Ni(II) ions. The strong efficiency of CNSs was also evident in complex water matrices including tap water, groundwater (Cd(II) removal of >99 %) and river water (98.97 %). The experimental analyses indicate that electrostatic attraction and surface complexation as the prominent adsorption mechanisms. Overall, this work illustrates an applicable strategy to develop carbon-nanosheets and their successful application to remove toxic metals from water matrices.

In this study, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) were first assembled via the chemical co-precipitation, and high-quality carbon-based metal-free nanomaterials were synthesized using a heat-treatment process. The internal and morphological characteristics of hexagonal Star ZIF-8 were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrochemical sensor with a good response to Cd(II) was prepared via square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) with Star ZIF-8 nanomaterial-modified glassy carbon electrodes. The main parameters were adjusted to obtain the optimal stripping response and a wide linear range. Concurrently, under the calculation of SWASV, the sensitivity of Star ZIF-8-Nafion/GCE to Cd(II) was increased by five orders of magnitude (0.5–230 μg/L), and the determination level was even low to 0.48 μg/L. Based on the high anti-interference ability and stability of the sensor, the application potential of Star ZIF-8 carbon-based metal-free nanomaterials for the detection of trace Cd(II) in was confirmed.

Visualization of the ion exchange mechanism for 137Cs and 90Sr decontamination is important for safe radioactive liquid waste reprocessing and emergency response improvement in the event of a nuclear accident. Here, the remediation of Cs+ and Sr2+ was achieved through ion exchange using a cadmium selenidostannate, [CH3NH3]3[NH4]3Cd4Sn3Se13·3H2O (CdSnSe-1), with rapid exchange kinetics, high β/γ radiation resistances, broad pH durability and facile elution. The framework constructed from mono-lacunary supertetrahedral clusters features a great negative charge density of 3.27 × 10−3 that accounts for the superhigh exchange capacities of 371.4 (Cs+) and 128.4 mg g−1 (Sr2+). Single-crystal structural analysis on the exchanger during the “pristine–ion exchange–elution” cycle supplies instructive information to elucidate the uptake and recycle mechanism for Cs+ and Sr2+. The broken symmetry of the cluster caused by a vacant site, combined with the co-templating effects of mixed methylammonium/ammonium, contributes to the formation of voids I and II that show adsorption activity for both Cs+ and K+ ions. In comparison, the divalent Sr2+ ions with higher hydration degree exchange with (alkyl)ammonium cations in a 1 : 2 molar ratio, resulting in its location at a new void (III) closer to the framework and thus a higher binding strength. The energy variation during the adsorption process based on a DFT calculation illustrates the high efficiency of CdSnSe-1 for capture of both Cs+ and Sr2+. This “visualized” ion exchange underlines the robustness and flexibility of CdSnSe-1 as a Cs+ and Sr2+ trapper, and reveals the deeper structure–function relationship from a new surface interaction viewpoint.

Reactions of polycarboxylate ligand (2,2′-H 2 bpdc or H 3 OABDC), N-donor auxiliary ligand (4-bpmh) with Cd(II) salts under solvothermal conditions resulted in two coordination polymers formulated as [Cd(2,2′-bpdc)(4-bpmh)(H 2 O)] n ·n(H 2 O) ( 1 ) and [Cd 3 (OABDC) 2 (4-bpmh) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ] n ·2n(H 2 O) ( 2 ) (2,2′-H 2 bpdc = diphenic acid, H 3 OABDC = 5-oxyacetate isophthalic acid, and 4-bpmh is N,N-bis-pyridin-4-ylmethylene-hydrazine). Meanwhile, the investigations of luminescent performances and thermal stabilities suggest that the two compounds are candidate materials for the fluorescent emitting material.

Adsorption has been deemed as one of the most efficient technologies for the removal of heavy metals from water because of its diversity of adsorbents, low cost, and simple operation. In this study, acrylic acid underwent free radical polymerization in an aqueous solution of lignocellulose extracted from peanut shells (PS) to form a porous double network hydrogel adsorbent, PS(H)-PAA. The PS(H)-PAA hydrogel had high water permeability and a porous network structure, which could provide a fast channel for metal ions diffusion from solution into hydrogel and gave rise to good adsorption performance. The adsorption process of heavy metal ions on the PS(H)-PAA hydrogel was identified to be a spontaneous endothermic adsorption and reached kinetic equilibrium within only 10 min for Pb(II) and 60 min for Cd(II) at an initial concentration of 100 mg/L using 0.5 g/L of adsorbent. According to a Langmuir model, at T =313 K the maximum theoretical adsorption capacities were as high as 250.42 and 109.89 mg/g for Pb(II) (pH 5) and Cd(II) (pH 6), respectively. Moreover, a PS(H)-PAA hydrogel showed good adsorption performance over a pH range of 4–9. The surface properties, dimensional morphology, and thermal stability of the adsorbents were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and derivative thermogravimetry. The adsorption behavior under different conditions (such as pH, contact time, ion strength, and interfering ions) and the adsorption mechanism were studied. The adsorption mechanism indicated that oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups play a major role in the adsorption process, primarily through chemical interactions, and secondarily through physical interactions. In addition, these adsorbents exhibited strong chemical stability, had very high swelling ratios in water, and could be recycled easily. These results indicate the developed PS(H)-PAA hydrogel is an environmentally friendly and potentially effective adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals.

Electrochemical CO 2 reduction is regarded as a promising strategy for the sustainable conversion of greenhouse gas. However, it still remains a significant challenge to manipulate the selectivity and activity. Herein, amorphous and porous Cd modified by sulfur (P–Cd|S) is synthesized by a p-block sulfur dopant. In comparison with unmodified Cd metal, the P–Cd|S architecture exhibits superior activity for selective CO generation, indicating that the sulfur dopant enables a selectivity shift from formic acid to CO. The high selectivity of P–Cd|S is partially ascribed to the local alkalization and suppression of hydrogen evolution as indicated by the finite element analysis. In-depth mechanistic investigations by operando Raman, Infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in combination with theory calculations indicate that the covalently hybridized sp band system with dual collaborative sites (Cd δ + and S δ − ) gives rise to a strong interplay with CO 2 molecules and carbonaceous species, leading to the natural elimination of linear correlation among intermediates binding for d-band metals and the convenient modulation of selectivity toward CO versus HCOOH.
