Abstract
With the rapid development of industry, the discharge of heavy metal-containing wastewater poses a significant threat to aquatic and terrestrial environments as well as human health. This paper provides a brief introduction to the basic principles of ion-imprinted polymer preparation and focuses on the interaction between template ions and functional monomers. We summarized the current research status on typical heavy metal ions, such as Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Pb(II), and Cr(VI), as well as metalloid metal ions of the As and Sb classes. Furthermore, it discusses recent advances in multi-ion-imprinted polymers. Finally, the paper addresses the challenges faced by ion-imprinted technology and explores its prospects for application.

Abstract
The affinity sites of cadmium (Cd(II)) when binding to cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH) were studied via thermodynamics and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy methods. The results showed that the Cd(II) binding sites of Cys and GSH were -SH (exothermic), -NH2 (endothermic) and -COOH (endothermic). The thermodynamic behaviour of Cd(II) binding to Cys/GSH in boric acid and HEPES buffers differed, with the former being mainly endothermic and the latter mainly exothermic. It could be inferred that, in the boric acid system, the main binding site of Cd(II) with Cys and GSH is changed from -SH in HEPES to -COOH and -NH2 in boric acid. This was confirmed by the results of NMR experiments of Cd(II) with Cys/GSH. 1D 1H-NMR experiments showed that, after the combination of Cd(II) and Cys, the changes in the chemical shifts and peak strengths of protons near the -SH group for the reaction in HEPES were greater than when boric acid buffer was used. Changes in the chemical shift and peak strength of the -NH2 protons due to the binding of Cd(II) to GSH were evident in the boric acid buffer but not in HEPES. The screening of functional monomers is very important in the process of preparation of cadmium ion-imprinted materials. This research provides important theoretical and experimental guidance for the screening of functional monomers.

Abstract
Developing an effective adsorbent for Pb2+ removal from wastewater has huge economic and environmental implications. Adsorbents made from cellulosic materials that have been modified with certain chelators could be used to get rid of metal cations from aqueous solutions. However, their selectivity for specific metals remains very low. Here, we describe the synthesis of 4-(2-pyridyl)thiosemicarbazide (PTC) hydrazidine-functionalized cellulose (Pb-PTC-CE), a polymer imprinted with Pb2+ ions that may be used to remove Pb2+ ions from wastewater. Owing to its potent -NH2 functionalization, PTC hydrazidine not only served as an efficient chelator to effectively supply coordinating sites and construct hierarchical porous structures on Pb-PTC-CE, but it also made it possible for cross-linking to occur through the glyoxal cross-linker. The abundant chelators, along with the hierarchical porous construction of the developed Pb-PTC-CE with PTC functionality, result in a greater sorption capacity of 336 mg/g and a short sorption period of 40 min for Pb2+. Additionally, Pb-PTC-CE exhibits highly selective Pb2+ uptake compared to competing ions. This study proposes a feasible methodology for the development of high-quality materials for Pb2+ remediation by combining the advantages of active ligand functionality with ion-imprinting techniques in a straightforward way.

Abstract
It is of tremendous economic and environmental significance to obtain a powerful adsorbent for the extraction of Gd3+ from wastewater. Adsorbents derived from cellulosic materials functionalized with specific chelators show great promise for the removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater. The selectivity of these sorbents for metal ions is, however, still rather poor. Here, we present a technique for trapping Gd3+ ions from wastewater by synthesizing Gd3+ ion-imprinted polymers based on isatinhydrazone-functionalized cellulose (Gd-ISH-CE). Not only did isatinhydrazone work as a tridentate ligand to directly provide ligand vacancies and build hierarchy pores on Gd-ISH-CE, but it also enabled cross-linking through the epichlorohydrine cross-linker thanks to its very effective NH2 functionalization. The as-prepared Gd-ISH-CE with ISH functionality shows a high adsorption capacity of 275 mg/g and a rapid equilibration time of 30 min for Gd3+ due to its plentiful binding sites and hierarchical pore structure. Furthermore, Gd-ISH-CE shows very selective capture of Gd3+ over competing ions. By integrating the benefits of ion-imprinting and chelator functionalization methodologies in an effortless manner, this study presents a practical approach to the development of superior materials for Gd3+ recovery.

Abstract
Ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) have been widely used in different fields of Analytical Sciences due to their intrinsic selective properties. However, the success of chemical imprinting in terms of selectivity, as well as the stability, specific surface area, and absence of swelling effect depends on fully understanding the preparation process. Therefore, the proposal of this review is to describe the influence of relevant parameters on the production processes of ion-imprinted polymers, including the nature (organic, inorganic, or hybrid materials), structure, properties of the salt (source of the metal ion), ligand, crosslinking agent, porogenic solvent, and initiator. Additionally, different polymerization methods are discussed, the classification of IIPs as well as the applications of these adsorbent materials in the last years (2017–2022).

Abstract
In the last 10 years, we have witnessed an extensive development of instrumental techniques in analytical methods for determination of various molecules and ions at very low concentrations. Nevertheless, the presence of interfering components of complex samples hampered the applicability of new analytical strategies. Thus, additional sample pre-treatment steps were proposed to overcome the problem. Solid sorbents were used for clean-up samples but insufficient selectivity of commercial materials limited their utility. Here, the application of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) or ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) in the separation processes have recently attracted attention due to their many advantages, such as high selectivity, robustness, and low costs of the fabrication process. Bulk or monoliths, microspheres and core-shell materials, magnetically susceptible and stir-bar imprinted materials are applicable to different modes of solid-phase extraction to determine target analytes and ions in a very complex environment such as blood, urine, soil, or food. The capability to perform a specific separation of enantiomers is a substantial advantage in clinical analysis. The ion-imprinted sorbents gained interest in trace analysis of pollutants in environmental samples. In this review, the current synthetic approaches for the preparation of MIPs and IIPs are comprehensively discussed together with a detailed characterization of respective materials. Furthermore, the use of sorbents in environmental, food, and biomedical analyses will be emphasized to point out current limits and highlight the future prospects for further development in the field.

Abstract
The presence of toxic trace metals and high concentrations of essential elements in the environment presents a serious threat to living organism. Various methods have been used for the detection, preconcentration and remediation of these metals from biological, environmental and food matrices. Owing to the complexicity of samples, methods with high selectivity have been used for detection, preconcentration and remediation of these trace metals. These methods are achieved by the use of ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) due to their impressive properties such as selectivity, high extraction efficiency, speciation capability and reusability. Because of the increase of toxic trace and essential metals in the environment, IIPs have attracted great use in analytical chemistry. This review, provide a brief background on IIPs and polymerization method that are used for their preparation. Recent applications of IIPs as adsorbents for preconcentration, removal, speciation and electrochemical detection of trace and essential metal is also discussed.
