Public anxiety and concern from cesium pollution in oceans have been back on the agenda since tons of nuclear waste water were announced to be poured into oceans. Cesium ion can easily enter organisms and bioaccumulate in animals and plants, thus its harm is chronic to humans through food chains. Here we showed a kind of hybrid ionic liquid membrane (HILM) for detection of cesium ion in seawater through CsPbBr perovskite fluorescence. With sustainability in mind, HILM was built frugally. The lowest cost of HILM is below 3 cents per piece. The HILM can detect cesium ion quickly with eye-readable fluorescence signal. Ultracheap, portable, easy-to-use on-site detection device could offer benefit for personal security and applications in environment science and ecology in the future decades.

Selective enrichment of cesium ions (Cs) at ultralow concentrations is essential for resource recovery and radioactive waste disposal, yet efficient adsorbents are lacking. Herein, we reported a Prussian blue analogue (KCu(Fe(CN)), Cu-PBA) decorated on MXene nanosheets by in situ fabrication, forming a composite material termed PMX, for enhanced adsorption of Cs in acidic solutions and seawater. The stable, negatively charged MXene effectively anchors Cu precursors and promotes Cs adsorption.

Radioactive Cs removal and treatment have attracted widespread attention since the Chernobyl disaster and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant accident. So far, Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are recognized as the most effective Cs adsorbents possessing excellent sorption ability and radiation resistance. Here, two types of PBA-based Cs adsorbents, potassium zinc hexacyanocobaltate (Zn-Co PBA) and potassium nickel hexacyanocobaltate (Ni-Co PBA), were prepared by chemical precipitation method.

Dichloroethylene is mainly used to prepare high polymer compounds such as vinyl chloride fibers and polyvinylidene chloride. It is also an important raw material for producing lithium-ion battery adhesives. The industrial method for producing dichloroethylene involves a saponification reaction between trichloroethane and sodium hydroxide, which can lead to high environmental pollution.

Metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), known for their strong visible-light absorption and tunable optoelectronic properties, show significant promise for photocatalytic applications. However, their efficiency is often hindered by rapid charge recombination and insufficient exciton dissociation, limiting effective catalysis. Excited-state interactions at the NC interface are critical in determining photocatalytic performance, underscoring the need for strategies that enhance charge separation and minimize recombination.

Nuclear energy, a rapidly advancing clean energy source, generates significant amounts of radioactive waste, including radioactive nuclides such as cesium (Cs), strontium (Sr), and uranyl (UO ). Among these, Sr is particularly concerning due to its long half-life, high mobility in aqueous environments, and its toxic effects on both human health and ecosystems. Its radioactive decay produces beta particles, posing significant environmental and public health risks, especially in the context of nuclear waste disposal.
