Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) behaves like a two-edged sword, at low concentrations it has beneficial and cytoprotective effects, while at higher concentrations it exhibits toxicity. Hence there is a keen interest in developing light responsive H2S donors with a spatio-temporal controlled release. Herein, we report visible light activatable tetraphenylethylene conjugated p-hydroxyphenacyl (TPE-pHP-H2S) nanoparticles for the release of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) with a real time monitoring ability.

Biosorption is a promising alternative method to replace the existing conventional technique for Cr(VI) removal from the industrial effluent. In the present experimental design, the removal of Cr(VI) from the aqueous solution was studied by Aspergillus niger MSR4 under different environmental conditions in the batch systems. The optimum conditions of biosorption were determined by investigating pH (2.
