The polyfunctional chitosan can act as the biological macromolecule ligand not only for the adsorption and the recovery of metal ions from an aqueous media, but also for the fabrication of novel adsorbents which shows selectivity and better adsorption properties. The unmodified chitosan itself, a single cationic polysaccharide, has hydroxyl and amine groups carrying complex properties with the metal ions. In addition, the selectivity of metal ions, the adsorption efficiency and adsorption capacity of the adsorbent can be modified chemically. This review covers the synthetic strategies of chitosan towards the synthesis of hetero-chitosan based adsorbents via chemical modifications in past two decades. It also includes how chemical modification influences the metal adsorption with N, O, S and P containing chitosan derivatives. Hope this review article provides an opportunity for researchers in the future to explore the potential of chitosan as an adsorbent for removal of metal ions from wastewater.

The widespread use of copper (Cu) has raised concerns about environmental pollution and adverse effects on human health, highlighting the need to develop copper detection methods. Developing near-infrared (NIR) luminescent probes for imaging subcellular Cu is still a challenge. In this work, we have developed a luminescence probe based on a NIR iridium(III) complex, which rapidly detects Cu by combining salicylaldehyde and amine groups through a simple Schiff base reaction on the N^N ligand.

The high thermal stability and chemical durability of amide-linked covalent organic frameworks (amide COFs) make them a promising material for a range of new applications. Nevertheless, the low reversibility of the amide bond presents a significant challenge to the direct synthesis of amide-bonded COFs. In this paper, we present a simple method for synthesizing amide COFs.

Formamidine lead iodide (FAPbI) quantum dots (QDs) have attracted great attention as a new generation of photovoltaic material due to their long carrier diffusion length, benign ambient stability, and light-harvesting ability. However, its large surface area with inherent thermodynamic instability and highly defective ionic termination are still major obstacles to fabricating high-performance devices. Herein, a metallic ion dopant is developed to post-treat FAPbI QDs immediately after their fabrication by using a metal-glutamate salt solution.

Amphiphilic dimeric cyanostilbenes with two donor-acceptor moieties connected through variable aliphatic linkers displayed aggregation in aqueous media to produce red emissive nano-assemblies. In the presence of anionic biopolymers such as ctDNA and heparin, they formed electrostatically driven co-assemblies with enhanced luminescence. Moreover, due to the chiral nature of the bio-templates DNA and heparin, the co-assemblies demonstrated induced chirality features.

Developing cost-effective, non-precious metal bifunctional electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial for advancing sustainable energy storage and conversion technologies, including zinc-air batteries, fuel cells, and water electrolyzers. This study presents a one-pot synthesis of cobalt-manganese mixed phosphates as effective bifunctional electrocatalysts for both ORR and OER. Among the catalysts tested, Na-Co-Mn-P [NaCo1.
