Summary: The limitations of traditional chitosan-based adsorbents in wastewater treatment include low water solubility in acid solution, relative low adsorption capacities, and unsatisfactory separation performance. To overcome these limitations, hydrophilic magnetic Fe3O4 embedded chitosan-crosslinked-polyacrylamide composites (m-CS-c-PAM) were synthesized. The m-CS-c-PAM showed excellent adsorption capacity and pH-independent adsorption capability for food dye, along with easy separation and satisfactory reusability. It can be considered as a promising material for food wastewater treatment.

Summary: In this study, the removal of phenol from synthetic and real wastewater using a new polyacrylic acid-modified graphene oxide (GO-PAA) composite material was investigated. Results showed that the adsorption capacity of GO-PAA was double compared to un-modified GO, and under the optimum conditions (pH 2 and 25°C), GO-PAA was able to remove approximately 75% of phenol from synthetic wastewater. These findings suggest that adsorption using GO-PAA could be an effective and simple method for remediating pollution, especially in acidic conditions.

Summary: This study encapsulated quantum dots in a thermoplastic polypropylene matrix using thermal processing technology to prepare a more stable color conversion film. The quantum dots in the polypropylene film exhibited longer-lasting stability compared to traditional polymethyl methacrylate film. The improved stability was attributed to the better moisture and oxygen barrier properties of the polypropylene film and the milder environment around the quantum dots.

Summary: The authors of this study synthesized chiral CdSe/CdS dot-in-rods (DRs) with different sizes using the post-ligand-exchange method. The high-resolution imaging and cytotoxicity performances of these DRs were investigated, and it was found that the chiral cysteine coverage strategy significantly enhanced their biocompatibility. Photodynamic and chemodynamic therapy studies showed that chiral DRs exhibited improved efficacy under circularly polarized light radiation, with right-handed circularly polarized light activation demonstrating higher efficacy compared to left-handed or linearly polarized light irradiated samples.

Summary: This study proposes an effective strategy to achieve high CPL activity in quantum dots by introducing 2D chiral perovskite as a chiral source, providing spin polarized carriers through the CISS effect. The as-synthesized QDs/CP composites exhibit dissymmetry factors (g(lum)) up to 9.06 x 10(-3). These findings provide a useful method to achieve CPL in QDs/2D chiral perovskite heterojunctions, which could be promising in spin-optoelectronics application.

Summary: The chirality of 2D chiral perovskite films has been significantly enhanced by a solvent modulation strategy, leading to the formation of CPL-active materials. By creating chiral perovskite/quantum dot composites, an increase in the CPL intensity was observed, attributed to the generation and transportation of spin-polarized charge carriers as well as the enlarged lattice distortion of the chiral perovskite films achieved through solvent modulation. This approach provides an effective way to construct CPL-active materials.

Summary: We propose a method for synthesizing well-controlled core-shell nanoheterodimers (NHDs) based on single bimetallic Au@M (M = Au, Ag, Pd, Pt) nanodots (BNDs) grown on TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs). The process involves a two-step laser-assisted deposition. The first step uses a focused UV laser to nucleate and grow a single core nanodot (ND) with quantitatively controlled size. In the second step, a new metal precursor is added to the Au-TiO2 NHDs and a second laser deposition takes place on the first gold NDs. The synthesized NHDs exhibit different growth patterns depending on the metals involved.

Summary: Stimulating and harnessing circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is crucial for understanding chirogenesis in physical chemistry and implementing it in research fields such as chiral optoelectronics and theranostics. In this study, red-emissive carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) with enhanced circular dichroism (CD) and CPL activities were synthesized using a biomolecule-tailored organic-inorganic co-assembly strategy. The obtained CPL signals can be manipulated in an excitation-dependent manner, indicating a synergistic-competition phenomenon between configurational chirality and intermolecular energy-transfer dynamics.

Summary: This article introduces a top-down chemical etching process that allows for precise control of nanocrystal solutions with identical concentrations, enabling the study of ligand-induced chiral conduction mechanisms. The results indicate a negative correlation between the shell layer and the chirality of the first exciton peak, but a positive correlation with the chirality of the CdS shell absorption. The integrity of the core is essential for maintaining high circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence signals.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
