Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) detection has attracted considerable attention because of the extensive application of OPs. In this research, non-toxic and high-performance metalloenzyme mimics of Zn2+-bonding peptides were developed by obtaining inspiration from phosphotriesterase (PTE) and nanofiber formation. Furthermore, based on the electrochemical activity of p-nitrophenol (PNP), the electrochemical sensor of metalloenzyme mimics was developed. By examining the effect of the active sites of peptides and fibril formation on the degradation of OPs, the optimal metalloenzyme mimic was selected. Furthermore, optimal metalloenzyme mimics were combined with NiCo2O4 to develop an electrochemical sensor of OPs. By monitoring square wave voltammetry (SWV) signals of PNP degraded from OPs, the amounts of OPs in actual samples could be determined in 15 min. We discovered that both the active sites of α metal and β metal were required for metalloenzyme mimics; Zn2+ promoted peptide fibrosis and especially acted as a cofactor for degrading OPs. Compared to traditional methods, the electrochemical sensor of metalloenzyme mimics was sensitive, reliable, and non-toxic; furthermore, the detection limit of methyl paraoxon was as low as 0.08 µM. The metalloenzyme mimics will be a promising material for detecting OPs in the food industry and environment fields.

Abstract
Abstract
AlBaNi-LDH nanoparticles have been synthesized by the co-precipitation method. A series of characterization analyses (Scanning Electron Microscope, Energy Dispersive X-ray, Transmission Electron Microscope, X-ray Diffraction, Atomic Force Microscope, and Infrared spectroscopy) proved that the surface structure of AlBaNi-LDH nano-particles was the key mechanism for UO2
2+ adsorption. The synthesized product showed good performance in UO2
2+ adsorption efficiency in neutral pH with a maximal adsorption capacity of 137 mg/g. The results demonstrated the adsorption process fitted well with pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models. Also, the effects of coexisting ions and different eluents are briefly described. These results confirm that AlBaNi-LDH is an effective material for the adsorption of UO2
2+ from an aqueous solution with reusable availability.

Abstract
Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy provides structural information of prime importance to understand ions coordination to adsorbents. This consequently aids in the design of improved ion exchange materials and help in deriving the optimum adsorption conditions. In the present work, the adsorption mechanism of both U(VI)/Th(IV) and Ra(II)/Ba(II) radionuclides couples onto polystyrene-nano manganese dioxide (PS-NMO) composite is reported in relation to the effect of working solution pH. The separation of each radionuclide couple; i.e. U(VI)/Th(IV) and Ra(II)/Ba(II); could be effectively achieved at pH = 3 and pH = 1 respectively. The pH values not only determine the species of the respected elements that are mainly present in aqueous solution before applying the adsorbent, but it also alters the structure of the composite adsorbent. FTIR spectroscopy showed that Th(IV) formed inner sphere complexes and occupied the A site in the dioxide layer, while U(VI) formed outer sphere complexes on the surface of the composite. Spectra subtraction showed that some aromatic bands and vinyl C-H bands were split or shifted to lower wavenumbers with the loading of Ba(II). This was attributed to changes in the composite stereochemistry to accommodate Ba(II). The working solution pH could be the key in the separation process of both U(VI)/Th(IV) and Ra(II)/Ba(II) from their mixture, and FTIR spectroscopy stands as a useful technique to explain the difference between metal ions responses to adsorbants.

Abstract
Nano-composites were synthesized by the reaction of waste polystyrene (PS) and KMnO4. The structure of the composite was controlled by the solvent/non-solvent system and the concentration of KMnO4. The FTIR spectra indicated the functionalization of PS and the attachment of NMO with the polymer chains. The maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) were 10,000 and 5000 Bq g-1, for U and Th respectively. Different but controllable sorption/desorption behaviours were noted between Th and U, which could be promising in the separation of Th and U from their mixture.
