Applications of engineered biochar in remediation of heavy metal(loid)s pollution from wastewater: Current perspectives toward sustainable development goals.

Environmental pollution of heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) caused adverse impacts, has become one of the emerging concerns and challenges worldwide. Metal(loid)s can pose significant threats to living organisms even when present in trace levels within environmental matrices. Extended exposure to these substances can lead to adverse health consequences in humans.

Review on fate, transport, toxicity and health risk of nanoparticles in natural ecosystems: Emerging challenges in the modern age and solutions toward a sustainable environment.

In today's era, nanoparticles (NPs) have become an integral part of human life, finding extensive applications in various fields of science, pharmacy, medicine, industry, electronics, and communication. The increasing popularity of NP usage worldwide is a testament to their tremendous potential. However, the widespread deployment of NPs unavoidably leads to their release into the environmental matrices, resulting in persistence in ecosystems and bioaccumulation in organisms.

Intermolecular interactions of an isoindigo-based organic semiconductor with various crosslinkers through hydrogen bonding.

Three crosslinkers (1,4-diaminobutane, 1,8-diaminooctane, and 1,6-hexanediol) were selected to produce hydrogen-bonded networks using a simple and effective method. The effects of these crosslinkers on the arrangement of crystalline structures were successfully studied using X-ray diffraction and high-voltage electron microscopy. The hydrogen-bonded isoindigo-based small molecules with 1,4-diaminobutane showed the best performance, with a crystal structure showing long-range order, due to the more suitable length of the 1,4-diaminobutane chain.
