The sensitive and accurate detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) as a gold biomarker for cardiovascular diseases at an early stage is crucial but has long been a challenge. In this study, we presented such an electrochemical (EC) aptasensor by combining hybridization chain reaction (HCR)-enhanced electrochemically mediated atom transfer radical polymerization (eATRP) amplification with high-efficient separation of magnetic beads (MBs). Aptamer-modified MBs empowered effective recognition and separation of cTnI from complex samples with high specificity. The specific binding of cTnI and aptamer could release triggered DNA (T-DNA) into solution to drive an HCR process, which produced plentiful active sites for eATRP initiators labeling followed by initiating eATRP process. With the development of eATRP, a great many of electroactive polymer probes were continually in situ formed to generate amplified current output for signal enhancement. Compared to no amplification, HCR-enhanced eATRP promoted the signals by ∼10-fold, greatly improving detection sensitivity for low-abundant cTnI analysis. Integrating MBs as capture carriers with HCR-enhanced eATRP as amplification strategy, this EC aptasensor achieved a low detection limit of 10.9 fg/mL for cTnI detection. Furthermore, the reliable detectability and anti-interference were confirmed in serum samples, indicating its promising application toward early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.

In natural freshwater and wastewater environments, thallium (Tl) is an infrequent yet exceptionally toxic heavy metal, presenting a formidable peril to human health. The arsenal of substances accessible for Tl(I) adsorption encompasses biochar, activated carbon, metal oxides, and diverse materials. The adsorption capabilities of activated carbon and biochar are limited, while metal oxide materials are expensive and challenging to regenerate. Developing cost-effective materials with high selectivity for Tl(I) removal poses an ongoing challenge in material technology. In this investigation, a novel composite denoted as PB@PDA/PEI-MF has been successfully synthesized, comprising Melamine Foam (MF) co-supported with Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) via the incorporation of polydopamine (PDA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI). The PB@PDA/PEI-MF material demonstrates remarkable efficacy in the efficient sequestration of Tl(I) across a broad pH spectrum, ranging from 6 to 10. Moreover, even in the incidence of various coexisting metal ions (e.g., Na + , K + , or Ca 2+ ), the Tl(I) removal rate by PB@PDA/PEI-MF remains consistently high, exceeding or equal to 90%. Its high selectivity, anti-ion interference ability, and ease of recycling address the most prominent shortcomings of previous materials. Leveraging these advantages, the PB@PDA/PEI-MF material demonstrates exceptional proficiency in the remediation of real-world Tl(I)-contaminated Pearl River water, aligning with the stringent industrial wastewater standards. The conclusive outcomes affirm that PB@PDA/PEI-MF presents a viable technological solution for the effective removal of Tl(I) in intricate environmental contexts.

Near-infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) lighting sources are applied in non-destructive examination and illumination supplements for night monitoring. As a critical component of NIR pc-LED, NIR phosphors are required to possess a high external quantum efficiency (EQE), super thermal stability, and broadband emission to meet applications. Here, Na 2 SrGe 6 O 14 :Cr 3+ (NSGO:Cr) glass ceramics (GC) bulk via highly crystallization from glass precursor is fabricated and demonstrates an ultrabroad emission band centered at 815 nm with a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 214 nm and a high EQE of 49.2%. Moreover, Yb 3+ co-doping significantly enhances Cr 3+ → Yb 3+ energy transfer (ET) due to the stronger Yb 3+ : 2 F 7/2 - 2 F 5/2 absorption. Benefiting from the ET process, the Cr/Yb co-doped GC exhibits NIR-I/II emission with improved thermal stability from 30.1% to 65.0%. Furthermore, an encapsulant-free NIR GC-converted LED (GCc-LED) is prepared and exhibits 52.2 mW NIR output power with a high photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.4%. Under a large current of 600 mA, the NIR device exhibits a watt-level output power of 922.4 mW with a PCE of 9.1%. Compared to conventional NIR powder phosphors, NSGO:Cr/Yb GC with high performance can open up an avenue for the fabrication of high power NIR lighting sources.

In this study, Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 decorated reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets were synthesized by loading iron oxide on the surface of RGO nanosheets and subsequently coating by titanium oxide, which can be employed as the persulfate (PS) activator and high-performance adsorbent toward thallium (Tl). PS could be effectively activated by the Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 decorated RGO nanosheets due to the presence of RGO and Fe(II), resulting in the rapid oxidation of Tl(I) to Tl(III). The removal of Tl(I) was found to be pH-dependent, with the removal efficiency of more than 88.5% in the pH range of 8.0–12.0 at the optimal PS dosage of 10 mM and material dosage of 0.2 g/L. The surface precipitation of Tl 2 O 3 and enhanced adsorption affinity toward Tl were deduced to be main mechanisms for the extremely efficient removal of Tl(I) ions during the oxidation and adsorption hybrid process. The maximum removal capacity of the material at pH 8.0 was estimated as 673.2 mg/g based on the fitting result from the Langmuir model. Approximately 94.7% of ultimate removal capacity could be accomplished within the first 10 min at the initial Tl concentration of 8.5 mg/L. The PS catalytic oxidation coupled with the adsorption technique using the prepared Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 decorated RGO nanosheets were proven to be a promising approach for Tl(I) removal from water.

It is a difficult task to remove Ag(I) ions selectively from the complex wastewater containing low concentration of silver(I) ions and high concentration of interfering ions. In this work, the polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) hybrid polymer (PSDT) functionalized with thioether/hydroxyl groups was facilely synthesized by photo-initiated thiol-ene polymerization of vinylPOSS and 1, 4-dithiothreitol. The PSDT showed ultrahigh selectivity to Ag(I) ions in a wide pH range, which could completely remove trace level of Ag(I) ions (1 mg L −1 ) from the complex wastewater containing concentrated interfering ions such as Pb(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Ca(II) and Fe(III) ions (each 200 mg L −1 ), nevertheless, those interfering ions were hardly adsorbed on the PSDT polymer. Moreover, the maximum adsorption capacity for Ag(I) by PSDT was 303 mg g −1 at pH 0.5, and the distribution coefficient ( K d ) for Ag(I) ions could reach 1,620,000 mL g −1 , which was significantly greater than most of the adsorbent materials reported. The high sulfur content (5.93 mmol g −1 ) of nanostructured PSDT and the formation of a stable five-membered Ag(I)-chelated ring may be the major causes for the ultrahigh selective adsorption of Ag(I) ions by PSDT.

Silica gel (SG) was modified using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and used as an adsorbent for the recovery of gold(I) from a thiosulfate solution, based on the hard and soft acids and bases theory. The interfacial properties of the mercaptopropyl-functionalised silica gel (MP–SG) and its performance for the adsorption of gold(I) from a thiosulfate solution were examined. An optimized modification procedure was determined to produce a MP–SG mercapto group content of 1.1 mmol·g −1 . Characterisation of the prepared samples revealed the immobilisation of the MPTMS on the SG surface through chemical adsorption, and that the modification process was accompanied by the release of methanol. The ratio of methanol to the mercapto groups was determined to be 2.06, indicating the formation of 1, 2, or 3 bonds between the SG and MPTMS. The effects of the solution pH, adsorption temperature, thiosulfate concentration and gold concentration on the adsorption of gold(I) onto MP–SG, were also evaluated. The adsorption of gold onto the MP–SG surface was determined to involve ion-interchange between the mercapto groups and Au(S 2 O 3 ) 2 3− . Numerical investigation of the gold adsorption mechanism, revealed that the charge of gold(I) decreased through charge transfer from the ligand to gold(I). The Au–MP–SG could be eluted using mixture of 1% thiourea and 2 mol·L −1 HCl. The findings of this study demonstrate the potential of SG for practical application to gold recovery from a thiosulfate solution.

Thallium as a highly toxic metal element has been listed as one of priority drinking water contaminants. In this study, manganese oxide nanoparticles were synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method and applied for the removal of thallium(I). The adsorbent was composed of numerous needle-like nanorods and had an average volume diameter of 230 nm after heat-drying procedure. The crystal form of adsorbent was determined as α -MnO 2 . The adsorbent exhibited a much faster adsorption rate than most of previously reported adsorbent, achieving over 66.4% of equilibrium adsorption capacity in the first 10 min. The adsorption process was found to be highly affected by solution pH and higher than 100 mg/g of adsorption capacity could be obtained in a wide pH range of 6.0–10.0. The isotherm study indicated that the adsorption of Tl(I) on the adsorbent was favorable and governed by a chemisorption process, with the maximum adsorption capacity of 505.5 mg/g at pH 7.0. The adsorption process was confirmed to be thermodynamically spontaneous and endothermic. The presence of Na + , K + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , and Cu 2+ cations had certain negative effects on the uptake of Tl(I). Based on the batch experiments and XPS analysis, the deprotonated hydroxyl groups that bonded to manganese atoms worked as the binding sites for the effective removal of Tl(I) ions and no redox reaction occurred during the adsorption process.

All-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are promising photoelectric materials for their high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), narrow emission width and tunable optical band gap. Traditionally, the hot injection (HI) method has been utilized to prepare perovskite NCs. However, the HI method requires high temperature, protection under inert gas and other harsh synthetic conditions, which severely hinders large-scale production of these NCs. Herein, we directly synthesized CsPbBr 3 perovskite NCs by a modified LARP (ligand-assisted re-precipitation) approach, and then conducted a specific anion exchange reaction with inexpensive, readily available, non-toxic, and non-polluting KX (X = Cl, I) salts aqueous solution to obtain various compositions of CsPbX 3 perovskite NCs at room temperature (RT). The obtained RT-NCs have high PLQY and outstanding stability, and their photoluminescence can be precisely regulated across the whole visible region (419–670 nm). The use of inorganic salts for the ion exchange provides an efficient method for the design of various halogenated perovskite NCs and their large-scale synthesis at RT.

Aggregation of plasmonic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been widely used for label-free colorimetric sensing. Adding salt is a commonly used method to induce a color change, but salt-induced aggregation by charge screening is a slow kinetic process, making quantitative and reproducible measurement difficult. Herein, we explored an alternative method by charge neutralization using positively charged molecules, such as a DNA-staining dye, SYBR Green I (SG), for efficient and stable assembly of AuNPs. Even submicromolar SG effectively triggered the aggregation of AuNPs in less than 1 min, and the resulting intense blue color was stable for over 10 h. The charge neutralization effect of SG was confirmed with zeta potential measurements. Besides, pH-dependent aggregation of AuNPs by SG agreed well with the pKa of the nitrogen atoms responsible for the positive charges in the SG structure. Moreover, the charge neutralization effect was also observed from polycations such as polyamines. The SG-induced assembly of AuNPs was developed into a label-free colorimetric sensing platform. Benefiting from the intense blue color, this new sensing strategy allowed visual detection of as low as 0.1 nM DNA, 50-fold lower than that by salt. Such a charge neutralization strategy may inspire further thinking on fundamental colloidal science and its applications in analytical chemistry. This work itself significantly improved AuNP-based colorimetric sensors in terms of detection time, signal stability, and sensitivity.

This work presented a new strategy to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by the addition of nano-zero-valent tungsten (nZVT) via accelerating the redox cycles of Cu(II)/Cu(I), which induce the consecutive generation of highly reactive oxygen species ultimately. The oxidation capacity of the nZVT/Cu(II)/PMS process and the detailed mechanisms of PMS activation were investigated with tetracycline (TC) as the targeted pollutant. Our results indicated that about 70% TC removal was obtained in the nZVT/Cu(II)/PMS system in 15 min with an initial pH of 4.6. In addition, hydroxyl radicals ( OH), sulfate radicals (SO 4 − ), and superoxide radicals ( O 2 − ) were identified as the reactive oxygen species (ROSs) attributed to rapid TC decomposition according to the quenching studies and EPR technology. The effective component that was responsible for PMS activation and ROSs generation was ascertained to be the resulting Cu(I), which derived from the direct reduction pathway driven by epigenetic low valence tungsten species and the indirect reduction pathway driven by active hydrogen atoms. Further, the presence of Cu(II) significantly accelerated the corrosion of the nZVT powders, leading to the accumulation of low valence tungsten species and the decrease in the mean diameter of the ZVT nanoparticles. There was no obvious change of the composition and structure between the original and residual nZVT powders, as evidenced by XPS and XRD analysis. The degradation process of TC included the cleavage of specific functional groups, the ring-opening reactions and the hydroxylation process. This study provided theoretical significance in applying zero-valent metals to activate PMS through a cupric/cuprous redox cycling mechanism.

Measurement of cardiac troponin I in the blood is crucial for the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Herein, a novel and ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor has been developed for determination of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) by using Au nanoclusters and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) signal amplification. In this ECL immunosensor, Au nanoclusters were dual-labeled at each end of hairpin DNA (H1 and H2) and acted as the luminophore. DNA initiator strands (T1) and secondary antibody (Ab2) were conjugated on Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) to obtain a smart probe (Ab2-AuNP-T1). In the presence of target cTnI, the sandwiched immunocomplex composed of cTnI, Ab1, and Ab2-AuNP-T1 was formed. Then the initiator strands T1 of Ab2-AuNP-T1 opened the hairpin DNA structures and triggered a cascade of hybridization events. Consequently, a large number of Au NCs were indirectly modified on the surface of the electrode, which could react with the coreactant (K2S2O8) and emit a strong ECL signal. Under the optimal conditions, the immunosensor exhibited a wide detection range for cTnI from 5 fg/mL to 50 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 1.01 fg/mL (S/N = 3). Because of the excellent specificity, stability, and reproducibility of the proposed ECL-HCR sensor, it has a great application prospect for cTnI detection in clinical diagnosis.
