The monitoring of Pb as a hazardous heavy metal element for the environment and human health is of high importance. In this study, a simple and sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) probe based on sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) was designed for the determination of Pb . To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the analytical application of the CL method based on SQDs. For this purpose, SQDs were synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method and characterized using transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Then, the direct CL of SQDs elicited by common oxidants was investigated. The highest CL intensity was observed for the SQDs-KMnO reaction, and its CL mechanism was studied. We indicated that the CL intensity of introduced system can be diminished as a result of the interaction between Pb and SQDs, and exploited this fact for designing a CL-based probe for the determination of Pb . The CL intensity of the SQDs-KMnO reaction was linearly quenched using Pb in the range 50-2000 nM with a limit of detection of 16 nM (S/N = 3). The probe was used for the determination of Pb in different water samples and the recovery results (95.2-102.8%) indicated the good analytical performance of the developed method.

This study uses the Quantum ESPRESSO code to introduce Hubbard correction (U) to the density functional theory (DFT) in order to examine the effects of non-metals (C, F, N, and S) doping on the structural, electronic, and optical characteristics of rutile TiO. Rutile TiO is a substance that shows promise for use in renewable energy production, including fuels and solar energy, as well as environmental cleanup. Its wide bandgap, however, restricts their uses to areas with UV light.

Photocycloreversion reactions of three diarylethene derivatives whose structures differ only in the placement of two sulfur atoms in the cyclopentene rings are investigated. Despite the minuscule differences between the molecules, both the yields and times of the photoreactions vary considerably. Using UV-vis and infrared femtosecond spectroscopy and quantum chemical dynamics simulations, we elucidate the relationships among the quantum yield, electronic and vibrational relaxation time, and structural properties of the dithienylethene photoswitches.

To enable highly efficient in situ hydrogen release from methanol/water reforming at lower temperature, the integration of solar-energy offers a promising approach to activate methanol/water and substantially lower the activation energy of this reaction. Herein, we present a novel dual-vacancy defective hollow heterostructure derived from Metal-Organic Frameworks, featuring abundant surface hydroxyl groups and S/O vacancies, for photothermal-promoted methanol solution reforming into hydrogen. The [In2S3-x/In2O3-x](OH)y exhibits exceptional photothermal H2 evolution activity, achieving a production rate of 215.

High-quality two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs), such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS), have significant potential for advanced electrical and optoelectronic applications. This study introduces a novel approach to control the localized growth of MoS through the selective oxidation of bulk molybdenum patterns using Joule heating, followed by sulfurization. By passing an electric current through molybdenum patterns under ambient conditions, localized heating induced the formation of a molybdenum oxide layer, primarily MoO and MoO, depending on the applied power and heating duration.

Rapid, effective, and cost-effective methods for large-scale screening of pesticide residues in the environment and agricultural products are important for assessing potential environmental risks and safeguarding human health. Here, we constructed a novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) electrochemical aptamer (Apt) sensor based on red-emissive sulfur quantum dots (SQDs), which aimed at the rapid screening and quantitative detection of malathion. SQDs were prepared using a two-step oxidation method with good electrochemiluminescence (ECL) optical properties.
