In this study, we developed a facile method for synthesizing dual-emission carbon nanodots (CDs) through trimesic acid and -phenylenediamine through electrolysis for 2 h. The synthesized CDs were mainly 3-7 nm in size, with an average size of 5.17 nm. The dual-emission fluorescent property of these CDs could be observed under two different excitation wavelengths. The green emission of the CDs could be quenched after the addition of mercury ions or copper ions, and the blue emission of the CDs could be inhibited using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Furthermore, the quenched fluorescence of CDs/Cu could be recovered through the addition of glyphosate. We developed a multifunctional chemical sensor by using these special fluorescence materials. Under optimal conditions, the detection limits of mercury ions, glyphosate, and HCQ were 0.42 μM, 1.1 mg L, and 0.14 μM, respectively. Moreover, this method can be used to detect mercury ions, glyphosate, and HCQ in environmental water, cereals, and urine samples, respectively.

A lateral flow assay (LFA) was developed for the simultaneous or separate detection of mercury ion and silver ion based on isothermal nucleic acid amplification. T-Hg-T and C-Ag-C were utilized in the isothermal nucleic acid amplification strategy to form specific complementary base pairs. Under the action of KF polymerase and endonuclease Nt.

With the rising prevalence of lithium-ion batteries, efficient recovery of metal ions, particularly those potentially released from LiFePO anodes, has become critical. Given that both Fe and Li ions can form electrostatic adsorptive interactions, achieving effective separation of conventional adsorbent materials becomes challenging. This study presents an amino acid-functionalized nanocellulose hydrogel (ANH) synthesized by incorporating L-threonine, which significantly enhances the selective adsorption of Fe in a mixed-ion environment by leveraging coordination differences between Li and Fe.

Nanozyme-based colorimetric sensors are promising approaches for environmental monitoring, food safety, and medical diagnostics. However, developing novel nanozymes that exhibit high catalytic activity, good dispersion in aqueous solution, high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability is challenging. In this study, for the first time, single-atom iridium-doped carbon dot nanozymes (SA Ir-CDs) are synthesized via a simple in situ pyrolysis process.

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiONPs) as an emerging pollutant in aquatic environments can interact with metals reducing or enhancing their toxicity in these environments. This study examined and compared the toxic effects of mercury ions (Hg ions) on immobilization percentage, fatty acid profile, and oxidative stress of nauplii, individually (Hg) and simultaneously in the presence of 0.10 mg.

Mercury ions (Hg) seriously harm the central nervous system of humans, leading to brain damage and even heart failure and death. Therefore, effective detection of Hg in water quality has become an urgent research field. It is very important to develop economically efficient fluorescent sensors to achieve rapid and sensitive detection of Hg.
