Summary: Monitoring the dynamics of RNA granules and phase separation inside cells is important for understanding cellular responses under various stresses, such as oxidative stress. Current small-molecule RNA probes face limitations in stability and biocompatibility, highlighting the urgent need for RNA-targeting fluorescent nanoprobes that can be used in living cells. In this study, a novel RNA-targeting, red-emissive carbon dots (M-CDs) were designed and synthesized, which showed high water solubility, fluorescence quantum yield, and selectivity for RNA. The M-CDs were successfully internalized into cells within 5 seconds and were able to image the dynamic process of intracellular stress granules under oxidative stress in real-time. This research opens up new possibilities for visualizing bulk RNA dynamics and studying phase-separation behaviors in living cells.

Summary: The search for novel fluorescent materials has attracted the attention of many researchers. In recent years, nonconventional fluorescence emitters have been developed as promising bioimaging candidates due to their enhanced biodegradability and relatively low cost, and their luminescent mechanism is similar to clustering-triggered emission (CTE). Our contribution involves the preparation of a series of glycopolymers with designed components using nonaromatic sugar as a monomer through sunlight-induced reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization, which can be utilized in bioimaging fields due to their bioactivity and CTE capacity.

Summary: Red emissive carbon dots (BNCDs), based on 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine (BNDM) and citric acid as a carbon source, were prepared through a one-pot solvothermal method. The synthesized BNCDs have uniform size distribution, photobleaching resistance, and show emission performance that is independent of the excitation wavelength. Moreover, the BNCDs exhibit bright red emission in a composite film with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix and the optical behavior can be tuned by changing solvent polarity. Additionally, BNCDs can serve as a fluorescence sensor for highly sensitive quantitative detection of trace water in organic solvents and as a fluorescence sensor for detection of Fe3+ and F-.

Summary: Microwave biochar produced with activated carbon catalyst shows excellent potential in removing heavy metals from waste water due to its high specific surface area and adsorption capacity. The optimum pH value for heavy metal removal is between 5-6, and Pb2+ exhibits the strongest affinity. The adsorption process is mainly explained by monolayer adsorption and chemical adsorption mechanisms. Complexation with oxygen-containing functional groups and precipitation with carbonate are the predominant adsorption mechanisms.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of biofilm, specifically Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis (BS), Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), and wild microbiota (WM), on the transport of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in saturated sand columns. The results showed that biofilm increased the retention of PFOA, but the effects varied depending on the bacterial species. In addition, the influence of ionic strength on PFOA transport differed among the biofilm types. The findings of this study have important implications for the risk assessment and remediation of PFOA contamination.

Summary: Biochar has shown great potential in environmental remediation due to its low cost, large specific surface area, porosity, and high conductivity. However, there is still a need to further explore the effects of biochar properties on catalytic performance and fill in the knowledge gaps in the reaction mechanisms of biochar-assisted advanced oxidation processes. Additionally, there is a lack of regeneration methods for biochar catalysts. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically review the latest research progress of biochar-assisted advanced oxidation processes in the treatment of organic pollutants in water.

Summary: Hydrochars derived from hydrothermal carbonization of hickory wood, bamboo, and wheat straw were modified with potassium permanganate for effective sorption of heavy metals. The modified wheat straw hydrochar (WSHyC-0.2KMnO(4)) exhibited the highest adsorption capacity, attributed to its large specific surface area, abundant surface oxygenic functional groups, and significant presence of MnOx microparticles. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that WSHyC-0.2KMnO(4) had a faster adsorption rate and much higher adsorption capacity (12-17 times) for Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) compared to WSHyC, due to increased OCFG and MnOx microparticles on its surface facilitating ion exchange, electrostatic interactions, and complexation mechanisms.

Summary: Lignin biochar was effectively modified using acid washing and ultrasound treatment to enhance its CO2 sorption capacity. The treatment improved the surface cleanliness and porosity of the biochar, resulting in increased specific surface areas and micropore volumes. The post-treated biochar exhibited high CO2 uptake due to its developed micropore structure, and adsorption analysis revealed multilayer physical adsorption as the main mechanism. The acid washing and ultrasound treatment technique showed great potential for CO2 capture with its high adsorption capacity, excellent reusability, and selectivity.

Summary: In this study, hydrogen radicals were found to be a new pathway for the production of hydroxyl radicals, which increased the dissolution of cadmium sulfide and the solubility of Cd in paddy soils. Soil incubation experiments showed that the bioavailable Cd concentrations in flooded paddy soils increased by 8.44% after 3 days of aeration. The presence of hydrogen radicals in aerated soil sludge was observed for the first time. Electrolysis experiments confirmed the association of CdS dissolution with free radicals. The application of biochar decreased soil DTPA-Cd by 22-56% through multiple mechanisms, including the quenching of radicals and stimulation of Fe/S-reducing bacteria.

Summary: Biochar, attapulgite, and diatomite were co-ball milled to prepare mineral-biochar composites for wastewater treatment. The composites showed better adsorption capacity for methylene blue compared to ball milled biochar and mineral alone. The 10% composites of attapulgite-biochar and diatomite-biochar had the highest adsorption capacities, which were 2.7 and 2.3 times that of ball milled biochar, respectively. The improved adsorption is attributed to the oxygen-containing functional groups and cation exchange capacity of the composites.
