Abstract
A sensitive and biocompatible N-rich probe for rapid visual uranium detection was constructed by grafting two trianiline groups to 2,6-bis(aminomethyl)pyridine. Possessing excellent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property and the advantages to form multidentate chelate with U selectively, the probe has been applied successfully to visualize uranium in complex environmental water samples and living cells, demonstrating outstanding anti-interference ability against large equivalent of different ions over a wide effective pH range. A large linear range (1.0 × 10-7-9.0 × 10-7 mol/L) and low detection limit (72.6 nmol/L, 17.28 ppb) were achieved for the visual determination of uranium. The recognition mechanism, photophysical properties, analytical performance and cytotoxicity were systematically investigated, demonstrating high potential for fast risk assessment of uranium pollution in field and in vivo.

Abstract
Uranium poses severe health risks due to its radioactivity and chemical toxicity if released into the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent demand to develop sensing materials in situ monitoring of uranium with high sensitivity and stability. In this work, a fluorescent Eu3+-TFPB-Bpy is synthesized by grafting Eu3+ cation onto TFPB-Bpy covalent organic framework (COF) synthesized through Schiff base condensation of monomers 1,3,5-tris(4-formylphenyl)benzene (TFPB) and 5,5'-diamino-2,2'-bipyridine (Bpy). The fluorescence of Eu3+-TFPB-Bpy is enhanced compared with that of TFPB-Bpy, which is originated from the intramolecular rotations of building blocks limited by the bipyridine units of TFPB-Bpy coordinated with Eu3+. More significantly, Eu3+-TFPB-Bpy is a highly efficient probe for sensing UO22+ in aqueous solution with the luminescence intensity efficiently amplified by complexation of UO22+ with Eu3+. The turn-on sensing capability was derived from the resonance energy transfer occurring from UO22+ to the Eu3+-TFPB-Bpy. The developed probe displayed desirable linear range from 5 nM to 5 μM with good selectivity and rapid response time (2 s) for UO22+ in mining wastewater. This strategy provides a vivid illustration for designing luminescence lanthanide COF hybrid materials with applications in environmental monitoring.

One particle three targets: Phosphate anion-modified magnetic mesoporous silica with enhanced fluorescence for sensitive detection, efficient adsorption, and repeated removal of uranium (VI) ions. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133286.

Abstract
An ideal adsorbent material that combines the multiple capabilities of sensitive detection, efficient adsorption, and repeatable removal of uranium (U) from the environment remains a serious challenge. Herin, a general method was developed for synthesizing a series of phosphate anions (such as: PO43-, P2O74-, P3O105- and P6O186-) modified magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Fe3O4 @mSiO2-Zn2+ NPs). The mesoporous surfaces and abundant phosphate groups provide potential, powerful uranium-binding sites for capturing U(VI) ions. Especially, the optimum adsorption capacity of Fe3O4 @mSiO2-Zn2+/P3O105- NPs was as high as 885.90 mg·g-1 (298 K), which was higher than that of unmodified or other phosphate anions-modified Fe3O4 @mSiO2-Zn2+ NPs. Meanwhile, P3O105--binding sites and mesoporous surfaces also strongly restrict U(VI) ions' fluorescence vibrational inactivation, the adsorption results in rapid green fluorescence enhancement (within 180 s), and an ultra-low detection limit (4.5 nmol·L-1), which is well below the standard in drinking water of the World Health Organization (WHO). Furthermore, even after 5 cycles, the adsorbent still maintained their original adsorption capacity of 80.21% and displayed excellent selectivity for detecting and removing U(VI) from seawater. Based on these results, the Fe3O4 @mSiO2-Zn2+/P3O105- NPs seem to be a suitable multifunctional adsorbent for the detection, adsorption, and removal of U(VI) from environment.

Abstract
The uranyl ion (UO22+) is the most stable form of uranium, which exhibits high toxicity and bioavailability posing a severe risk to human health. The construction of ultrasensitive, reliable, and robust sensing techniques for UO22+ detection in water and soil samples remains a challenge. Herein, a DNA network biosensor was fabricated for UO22+ detection using DNAzyme as the heavy metal recognition element and double-loop hairpin probes as DNA assembly materials. UO22+-activated specific cleavage of the DNAzyme will liberate the triggered DNA fragment, which can be utilized to launch a double-loop hairpin probe assembly among Hab, Hbc, and Hca. Through multiple cyclic cross-hybridization reactions, hexagonal DNA duplex nanostructures (n[Hab•Hbc•Hca]) were formed. This DNA network sensing system generates a high fluorescence response for UO22+ monitoring. The biosensor is ultrasensitive, with a detection limit of 2 pM. This sensing system also displays an excellent selectivity and robustness, enabling the DNA network biosensor to work even in complex water and soil samples with excellent accuracy and reliability. With the advantages of enzyme-free operation, outstanding specificity, and high sensitivity, our proposed DNA network biosensor provides a reliable, simple, and robust method for trace levels of UO22+ detection in environmental samples.

Abstract
Developing a fluorescent probe for UO22+, which is resistant to interference from other ions such as Cu2+ and can be applied in acidic and high-water systems, has been a major challenge. In this study, a "turn-off" fluorescent probe for triamine-modified flavonoid derivatives, 2-triphenylamine-3-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one (abbreviated to HTPAF), was synthesized. In the solvent system of dimethyl sulfoxide:H2O (abbreviated to DMSO:H2O) (v/v = 5:95 pH = 4.5), the HTPAF solution was excited with 364 nm light and showed a strong fluorescence emission peak at 474 nm with a Stokes shift of 110 nm. After the addition of UO22+, the fluorescence at 474 nm was quenched. More importantly, there was no interference in the presence of metal ions (Pb2+, Cd2+, Cr3+, Fe3+, Co2+, Th4+, La3+, etc.), especially Cu2+ and Al3+. It is worth noting that the theoretical model for the binding of UO22+ to HTPAF was derived by more detailed density functional theory (DFT) calculations in this study, while the coordination mode was further verified using HRMS, FT-IR and 1HNMR, demonstrating a coordination ratio of 1:2. In addition, the corresponding photo-induced electron transfer (PET) fluorescence quenching mechanism was also proposed.

Abstract
Hazardous chemical compounds such as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are widespread and part of the materials we use daily. Among these compounds, bisphenol A (BPA) is the most common endocrine-disrupting chemical and is prevalent due to the chemical raw materials used to manufacture thermoplastic polymers, rigid foams, and industrial coatings. General exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals constitutes a serious health hazard, especially to reproductive systems, and can lead to transgenerational diseases in adults due to exposure to these chemicals over several years. Thus, it is necessary to develop sensors for early detection of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. In recent years, the use of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as sensors for EDCs has been explored due to their distinctive characteristics, such as wide surface area, outstanding chemical fastness, structural tuneability, gas storage, molecular separation, proton conductivity, and catalyst activity, among others which can be modified to sense hazardous environmental pollutants such as EDCs. In order to improve the versatility of MOFs as sensors, semiconductor quantum dots have been introduced into the MOF pores to form metal–organic frameworks/quantum dots composites. These composites possess a large optical absorption coefficient, low toxicity, direct bandgap, formidable sensing capacity, high resistance to change under light and tunable visual qualities by varying the size and compositions, which make them useful for applications as sensors for probing of dangerous and risky environmental contaminants such as EDCs and more. In this review, we explore various synthetic strategies of (MOFs), quantum dots (QDs), and metal–organic framework quantum dots composites (MOFs@QDs) as efficient compounds for the sensing of ecological pollutants, contaminants, and toxicants such as EDCs. We also summarize various compounds or materials used in the detection of BPA as well as the sensing ability and capability of MOFs, QDs, and MOFs@QDs composites that can be used as sensors for EDCs and BPA.

Abstract
It is an important challenge to develop a chemosensor for trace uranyl ion in an aqueous medium for sustainable development of nuclear energy and environmental conservation. A conjugated fluorescent polymer sensor P2 based on amidoxime groups and polyfluorene, which showed good hydrophilous resulting adequate contact with uranyl ions and selectivity and sensitivity even in the presence of other metal ions in DMA/H2O (v/v = 20:80, pH = 6.0) solution, for uranyl ion was designed and prepared in this work. And it possesses good thermal stability and a larger Stokes shift (108 nm). Importantly, the fluorescence quenching occurred when P2 combining uranium. It had a good linear relationship with UO22+ concentration in the range of 10 to 200 nM with a fairly low LOD 7.4 × 10-9 M. Interaction properties between the sensor P2 and UO22+ and the fluorescent mechanism were investigated by density functional theory (DFT). More importantly, the sensor can be successfully used for the detection of uranyl ion in environmental solutions. This work suggests that conjugated fluorescent polymer with amidoxime groups will be a prospective sensor of uranyl ion in the environmental sample.

Abstract
Maintaining a clean water supply is of utmost importance for human civilization. Human activities are putting an increasing strain on Earth’s freshwater reserves and on the quality of available water on Earth. To ensure cleanliness and potability of water, sensors are required to monitor various water quality parameters in surface, ground, drinking, process, and waste water. One set of parameters with high importance is the presence of cations. Some cations can play a beneficial role in human biology, and others have detrimental effects. In this review, various lab-based and field-based methods of cation detection are discussed, and the uses of these methods for the monitoring of water are investigated for their selectivity and sensitivity. The cations chosen were barium, cadmium, chromium, copper, hardness (calcium, magnesium), lead, mercury, nickel, silver, uranium, and zinc. The methods investigated range from optical (absorbance/fluorescence) to electrical (potentiometry, voltammetry, chemiresistivity), mechanical (quartz crystal microbalance), and spectrometric (mass spectrometry). Emphasis is placed on recent developments in mobile sensing technologies, including for integration into microfluidics.

Abstract
More and more severe energy problem triggers extensive application of nuclear energy, and the adverse effects brought by nuclear materials such as uranyl to the environment are becoming the concern, as it has become a threat to human's health. Therefore, the detection of uranyl is increasingly important, which aims to make the application of uranium under surveillance and protection. A lot of detection methods employing varying materials based on different techniques for uranyl have been proposed including those using expensive and complicated instruments such as ICP-MS, ESI-MS, and neutron activation analysis etc. Those methods based on expensive instruments often provide quite low limit of detection (LOD) and excellent validity and repeatability, however, methods that are low-cost, convenient and rapid are in demand because these are satisfied characters for on-site and in-time determination. In the review, we discuss uranyl sensors based on spectrographic techniques, which is facile and promising for rapid assessment of uranium content in practical application. Spectrographic techniques including fluorescence, UV-vis spectrophotometry, resonance light scattering (RLS) and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) are evaluated. In detail, the core materials that playing extremely important roles in detection performance are stated consisting of small molecule, biomolecule, polymer and nanomaterial.
