Rational molecular design afforded fluorescent Cd sensors based on bisquinoline derivatives. Introduction of three methoxy groups at the 5,6,7-positions of the quinoline rings of BQDMEN (,'-bis(2-quinolylmethyl)-,'-dimethylethylenediamine) resulted in the reversal of metal ion selectivity in fluorescence enhancement from zinc to cadmium. Introduction of bulky alkyl groups and an ,-bis(2-quinolylmethyl)amine structure, as well as replacement of one of the two tertiary amine binding sites with an oxygen atom and the use of a 1,2-phenylene backbone significantly improved the Cd specificity. The fluorescent cadmium ion selectivity could be explained by the differential binding with Cd and Zn, and the formation of a bis(μ-chloro) dinuclear cadmium complex in contrast to the mononuclear zinc complex.

A sensitized dual-response ratiometric fluorescent sensor integrated smartphone platform for accurate discrimination and detection of tetracycline (TC) homologues was fabricated based on N-CDs-Eu complex. In the sensing system, N-CDs act as a sensitizer of Eu and significantly enhance the fluorescence of TC-Eu complex approximate 40-fold owing to the synergistic effect of antenna effect (AE) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). A paper sensor integrated with a smartphone platform is further fabricated for on-site measurement of TC.

(), a significant ornamental plant species, is adversely affected by the severe soil heavy metal pollution resulting from rapid industrialization, particularly in terms of its growth environment. Cadmium (Cd), a representative heavy metal pollutant, poses a significant threat to plant growth and photosynthetic physiology. Despite the importance of understanding Cd stress resistance in rhododendrons, research in this area is limited.

Microbe-Assisted Phytoremediation (MAP) is an eco-friendly method for remediating soil contaminated with heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr). This study demonstrates the potential of a king grass-Serratia marcescens strain S27 (KS) co-symbiotic system to enhance heavy metal remediation. The KS symbiosis increased the biomass of king grass by 48 % and enhanced the accumulation of Cd and Cr in the whole plant by 2.

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most dangerous environmental pollutants and is easily absorbed by food crops. Quinoa is a kind of coarse grain crop with rich nutrition and strong stress resistance, which is easy to accumulate Cd. The increasingly serious soil Cd pollution poses a serious threat to the food safety of quinoa.
