In the present work, the structure and electronic properties of Ti-, Cr-, Fe-, Ni-, Zn-, and Cu-inserted in porphyrin-reduced C70 fullerenes (TM-PIC70Fs) and their interactions with the ethenone were studied using DFT, NBO, and TD-DFT at CAM-B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. 2.89-3.83 and 4.02-4.56 eV were obtained for the HOMO-LUMO gap energies and work functions of TM-PIC70Fs, respectively, compared with 3.76 and 4.54 eV for PIC70F. Among considered TM-PIC70Fs, the adsorption of the ethenone on Ti-PIC70F appreciably changed the HOMO-LUMO energy gap and work function. Consequently, Ti-PIC70F may be used as the ethenone's electronic conductivity and work function types sensor. According to calculated UV-visible spectra, the ethenone adsorption may change the color of Fe- and Ti-PIC70Fs. Therefore, they can be used as color-changing sensors of ethenone. In addition, Ti-, Cr-, Fe-, and Zn-PIC70Fs can be employed as suitable adsorbents of ethenone. Among proper sensors and adsorbents of ethenone, Cr-, Fe-, and Zn-PIC70Fs may be recovered and reused.

Effective protection of groundwater requires an accurate health risk assessment of contaminants; however, the diversity of pollution sources, variability, and uncertainties in exposure parameters present significant challenges in this assessment. In this study, groundwater risk estimates associated with NO, and F, along with fourteen heavy metal(loid)s (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, As, Co, Cd, Se, Pb, Hg, Zn, and Al) in an agricultural area were optimized by implementing positive matrix factorization (PMF), multilinear regression, and two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations to characterize source-specific health risks. Groundwater pollution was analyzed considering regional variations, including differences in elevation, land use and land cover, and soil types.

Vanadium-based Na superionic conductor (NASICON) type materials (NaVM(PO), M = transition metals) have attracted extensive attention when used as sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) cathodes due to their stable structures and large Na diffusion channels. However, the materials have poor electrical conductivity and mediocre energy density, which hinder their practical applications. Activating the V/V redox couple (V/V≈4.

The accumulation pattern of some inorganic pollutants in quarry sites around Ogun State was modeled using a Fuzzy comprehensive assessment (FCA). Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and naturally occurring radionuclides materials (NORMs) were assessed from soil samples collected from ten quarry sites in three districts (Odeda, Ajebo, and Ijebu Ode) in Ogun State. Three (3) NORMs ( K, U, Th) were assessed using gamma spectrometer with a NaI detector while ten (10) PTEs (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) were determined by digestion method using Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrophotometer.

Co-cropping of hyperaccumulators is still poorly understood, while associations between hyperaccumulators and other plant species may promote beneficial plant interactions and lead to increased metal phytoextraction from contaminated soils. The aim of this study was to evaluate the phytoextraction potential of the Ni-hyperaccumulator in different co-cropping combinations with and . Plants were grown in ultramafic soil in a growth chamber for 45 days and Al, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn concentrations in roots and leaves were analyzed.
