The reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and Chitosan (CS) hybrid matrix RGO-CS were coated onto the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface, then, poly- l -lysine films (PLL) were prepared by electropolymerization with cyclic voltammetry (CV) method to prepare RGO-CS/PLL modified glassy carbon electrode (RGO-CS/PLL/GCE) for the simultaneous electrochemical determination of heavy metal ions Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II). Combining the advantageous features of RGO and CS, RGO and CS are used together because the positively charged CS can interact with the negatively changed RGO to prevent their aggregation. Furthermore, CS has many amino groups along its macromolecular chains and possessed strongly reactive with metal ions. Moreover, PLL modified electrodes have good stability, excellent permselectivity, more active sites and strong adherence to electrode surface, which enhanced electrocatalytic activity . The RGO-CS/PLL/GCE was characterized voltammetrically using redox couples (Fe(CN) 6 3−/4− ), complemented with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) has been used for the detection of Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II). The detection limit of RGO-CS/PLL/GCE toward Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) is 0.01 μg L −1 , 0.02 μg L −1 and 0.02 μg L −1 , respectively. The electrochemical parameters that exert influence on deposition and stripping of metal ions, such as supporting electrolytes , pH value, deposition potential, and deposition time, were carefully studied.

It's very essential to exploit a portable wireless integrated sensing platform for field simultaneous, on-site detection of heavy metal ions pollution that has been exhibited to Serious ecological and health risks even under trace levels, including Cd (II) and Pb (II) ions. In this work, we developed a portable sensing platform, consisting of an integrated screen-printed electrode (SPE) with the calcium/aluminum-layered double hydroxide (CaAl-LDH) nanocomposite based on carboxyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH), a hand-held wireless electrochemical potentiostat and a tablet with a specially designed app, for field simultaneous rapid detection of both Cd (II) and Pb (II) in water environmental sample. The CaAl-LDH was produced through a facilely hydrothermal method, and the CaAl-LDH nanocomposite with MWCNTs-COOH was prepared by a one-step ultrasonic route, which demonstrated superior sensing performance for simultaneous determination of both Cd (II) and Pb (II) with a broad detection range (2–250 μg L−1 for Cd (II) and 5–250 μg L−1 Pb (II)) and low limit of detection (LOD) (0.96 μg L−1 Cd (II) and 0.74 μg L−1 for Pb (II)).Furthermore, the proposed tablet-operated portable wireless sensing platform was utilized for detection of both Cd (II) and Pb (II) in farmland irrigation canals with acceptable recoveries.

Environmental pollution often releases multiple contaminants resulting in as yet largely uncharacterized additive toxicities. Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread pollutant that induces nephrotoxicity in animal models and humans. However, the combined effect of Cd in causing nephrotoxicity with 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47), a typical congener of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), has not been evaluated and mechanisms are not completely clear. Here, we applied transcriptome sequencing analysis to investigate the combined toxicity of Cd and BDE-47 in the renal tubular epithelial cell lines HKCs. Cd or BDE-47 exposure decreased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, and exhibited cell swelling and rounding similar to necrosis, which was exacerbated by co-exposure. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 2191, 1331 and 3787 differentially-expressed genes following treatment with Cd, BDE-47 and co-exposure, respectively. Interestingly, functional annotation and enrichment analyses showed involvement of pathways for oxidative stress, NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and inflammatory cell death for all three treatments. Examination of indices of mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in HKC cells showed that the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and intracellular calcium ion concentration [Ca 2+ ]i were elevated, while superoxide dismutase (SOD) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were decreased. The ratio of apoptotic and necrotic cells and intracellular lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release were increased by Cd or BDE-47 exposure, and was aggravated by co-exposure, and was attenuated by ROS scavenger N-Acetyl- L -cysteine (NAC). NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis pathway-related genes of NLRP3, adaptor molecule apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC), caspase-1, interleukin-18 (IL-18) and IL-1β were elevated, while gasdermin D (GSDMD) was down-regulated, and protein levels of NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1 and cleaved GSDMD were increased, most of which were relieved by NAC. Our data demonstrate that exposure to Cd and BDE-47 induces mitochondrial dysfunction and triggers NLRP3 inflammasome and GSDMD-dependent pyroptosis leading to nephrotoxicity, and co-exposure exacerbates this effect, which could be attenuated by inhibiting ROS. This study provides a further mechanistic understanding of kidney damage, and co-exposure impact is worthy of concern and should be considered to improve the accuracy of environmental health assessment.

Three 3D, anionic Cd(II) porphyrinic metal-organic frameworks (PMOFs), 1(3.5:1)-2d-120 ([Cd 3·2 (H 2 TCPP) 2 ][(CH 3 ) 2 NH 2 ] 1.6 ), its Li + -exchanged product (e.g. Li + -1-120 , formula: [Cd 3·2 (H 2 TCPP) 2 ]Li 1.6 ) and 1(10:1)-4d-120 ([Cd 3·7 H 2 TCPP) 2 ][(CH 3 ) 2 NH 2 ] 0.6 ) were synthesized, all of which have the same PXRD pattern. Their VB and CB band-edge positions were determined in nonaqueous electrolyte as −0.59, 1.12; −0.60, 1.11; and −0.60, 1.16, respectively. Their light absorption properties in the range of 250–2500 nm were obtained by UV–Vis-IR reflectance spectroscopy. Transient photocurrent responses, electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) and solid state photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the three PMOFs were obtained. When irradiated using light of 430 nm and −0.5-0.5 bias potentials (versus Ag/Ag + electrode in CH 3 CN), both positive and negative photocurrent were observed. Mott-Schottky plot measurements indicate that they are intrinsic semiconductors. Although these three PMOFs can photocatalytically reduce CO 2 to CO in the absence of Ru (bpy) 3 Cl 2 , their catalytic abilities are very weak. The roles of these PMOFs in CH 3 CN/trimethylamine (TEA) or triethanolamine (TEOA)/H 2 O (400 μL)/Ru (bpy) 3 Cl 2 . 6H 2 O was found to be mainly cocatalysts, and Ru (bpy) 3 Cl 2 was the actual photocatalyst in the presence of small amounts of water (0–400 μL). These PMOFs act as cocatalysts due to the increased reducing power upon light irradiation . Reducing the charge of the framework can reduce the efficiencies of the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction to CO. Li + -1-120 was found to be able to react with Ru (bpy) 3 Cl 2 when sufficient amounts of H 2 O are present in CH 3 CN and TEA system, preventing the photocatalytic property of Ru (bpy) 3 Cl 2 to be released. In addition, we found that TEOA is a worse reducing agent than TEA, leading to much lower photocatalytic efficiency of the system. Mechanisms were proposed for reactions occurred in CH 3 CN/TEA (or TEOA)/H 2 O (400 μL)/Ru (bpy) 3 Cl 2 . 6H 2 O/PMOF system, and strategies to improve the photocatalytic performance of CO 2 reduction to CO were proposed.

This study synthesized novel magnetic biochar (PCMN600) by KMnO 4 –NaOH combined modification using iron-containing pharmaceutical sludge to remove toxic metals from wastewater effectively. Various characterization experiments of engineered biochar showed that the modification process introduced ultrafine MnO x particles on the carbon surface and resulted in higher BET surface area and porosity along with more oxygen-containing surface functional groups. Batch adsorption studies indicated that the maximum adsorption capacities of PCMN600 for Pb 2+ , Cu 2+ and Cd 2+ were 181.82 mg/g, 30.03 mg/g and 27.47 mg/g, respectively, at a temperature of 25 °C and pH of 5.0, which were much higher than that of pristine biochar (26.46 mg/g, 6.56 mg/g and 6.40 mg/g). The adsorption datums of three toxic metal ions fitted well to the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm, and the sorption mechanisms were identified as electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, surface complexation, cation-π interaction and precipitation. The strong magnetic properties of the engineered biochar endowed the adsorbent with remarkable reusability, and after five cycles of recycling, PCMN600 still retained nearly 80% of its initial adsorption capacities.

Oily wastewater caused by the traditional oil spills and the increment of emerging lipid (such as biodiesel) pollution endangers human and nature seriously. Herein, we conceive a novel β-cyclodextrin-threated interface demulsification structural strategy to assemble superhydrophilic aramid nanofibers (ANFs) membranes for surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsion separation. Aim to modify the monomers, p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) molecules were covered by β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) to form inclusion compounds. Different poly (p-phthaloyl-p-phenylenediamine) with poly-pseudorotaxane structure (β-CD@PPTA) was obtained by low-temperature solution polycondensation by adjusting the proportion of modified monomers. The corresponding β-CD@ANFs membrane was successfully fabricated by non-solvent induced phase separation. The effect of β-CD@PPD monomers on the structure, element content, surface wettability, separation performances and durability of the modified membrane were investigated systematically. The modified membranes had the superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity characteristics. The flux and oil rejection of membrane both raised with the increased added proportion of β-CD@PPD monomers. The well-designed membrane exhibited tween 60 stabilized N-hexadecane-in-water emulsion permeances over 126.59 ± 5.35 L/m 2 h with separation efficiency above 99.73%. More significantly, the membrane had long-term demulsification performance and ideal purification effect on the separation of biodiesel wastewater, showing forceful prospect in removing lipid oil pollutants from the oil-in-water emulsions. The membrane prepared by poly-pseudorotaxane modification could better serve the development of oil-in-water separation field.

A simple and miniature analytical system was developed to determine Hg and Cd in small amounts of samples by integrating flow injection capillary liquid electrode discharge (CLED) optical emission spectrometry (OES) and microplasma-induced vapor generation (PIVG) atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS). With the assistance of the inherent capillary driving force and the force arising from the solution vaporization in the microplasma, the sample solution was automatically transported into the discharge chamber wherein analytes were simultaneously excited to generate their atomic emission lines and converted to their volatile species. Subsequently, the volatile species were further swept into AFS for their further determination. Therefore, the same sample could be successively analyzed by OES and AFS. Owing to the unique independent linear-range and sensitivity of CLED-OES and PIVG-AFS, the developed system not only significantly extended its linear range to 6 orders of magnitude but also remarkably reduced the sample consumption to several microliters. Thus, wide linear-range and ultrasensitive determination of Hg and Cd in limited amounts of samples were accomplished simply by sharing one single capillary liquid electrode discharge source. Under the optimized conditions, limits of detection (LODs) of 10 μg L–1 were obtained for both Hg and Cd when CLED-OES was used as a detector, whereas the LODs for Hg and Cd were improved to 0.03 μg L–1 and 0.04 μg L–1 with AFS detector, respectively. In addition, the extremely wide linear-range of 0.001–100 mg L–1 and 0.001–40 mg L–1 were obtained for Hg and Cd, respectively. The potential application of this method was validated by successfully analyzing three Certified Reference Materials (ZK021-1, GBW(E)090033, and GBW(E)090034) and six human blood samples.

A new modified silica gel with alizarin complexone has been prepared and proven to act as a promising adsorbent. Ultra trace Cu(II) and Cd(II) can be selectively enriched and separated from rice and water samples by solid phase extraction and detected by FAAS. What is more, 0.003 mol L−1 and 0.25 mol L−1 of HNO3 can be used as eluent for the gradient elution of Cd(II) and Cu(II), respectively. Cu(II) could be completely separated from Cd(II) and monitored with the naked eye using color agent 5-Br-PADAP. The selectivity of the adsorbent and the effects of solution pH, type and concentration of the eluent, and foreign ions have been investigated and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the adsorption capacity for Cu(II) and Cd(II) was 0.511 and 0.157 mmol g−1, respectively. Determination of Cu(II) and Cd(II) by FAAS was linear in the range of 1.0–200 µg L−1 and 2.5–100 µg L−1 with a detection limit of 0.21 µg L−1 and 0.46 µg L−1, respectively. Comparing the determination results for Cu(II) and Cd(II) in water and rice using the new method with those detected by ICP-MS, a considerable difference was not observed between the two methods. The method was validated with the certified reference material GBW08511 rice. Moreover, the determination of Cu(II) in the range of 20–120 µg L−1 is sensitive to the naked eye and the determination results are good in agreement with those detected by UV-Visible spectrometry. The proposed method was simple and capable of determining Cu(II) and Cd(II) in real samples accurately.

All-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) demonstrate splendid advantages of thermal and mechanical stability. Nevertheless, the rock-ribbed trade-off between the crystallinity and phase separation scale of donor/acceptor (D/A) hinder the power conversion efficiency (PCE) improvement of all-PSCs. Here, a novel two-dimensional transition-metal phosphorus trichalcogenides (TMPTCs) namely Cd 0.85 PS 3 Li 0.3 is intelligently designed and synthesized, and firstly employed as a nanoparticle dopant for PBDB-T:N2200-based all-PSCs. The two-dimensional Cd 0.85 PS 3 Li 0.3 possess enormous surface area that can serve as the nucleation center, inducing the crystallinity of D/A without influencing the original phase separation. Such feature significantly boosted the charge transport, PCE (from 7.18% to 8.79%) and stability of PBDB-T:N2200-based device. Moreover, the Cd 0.85 PS 3 Li 0.3 nanoparticle dopant was proved to be universal in non-fullerene small molecule acceptor (NFSMA)-based organic solar cells (OSCs), for which the PCE was boosted from 15.05% to 17.27% for PM6:L8-BO-based OSCs and from 17.29% to 19.10% for D18:L8-BO-based OSCs. These observations exemplify the significance of two-dimensional TMPTCs nanoparticle dopant as a tool for breaking the rock-ribbed trade-off between the crystallinity and phase separation scale of D/A in OSCs, which may open up a special field for making two-dimensional TMPTCs work in a unprecedented way in OSCs.
