Heliyon 2023; 9:e21850. [PMID: 38027943 PMCID: PMC10663911 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e21850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Herein, simple, low-cost, and room-temperature synthesis of beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) stabilized zinc sulfide nanoparticle (ZnS NP) through the chemical precipitation method has been reported for cation exchange reaction (CER) based colorimetric sensing of Pb2+, Cu2+, and Hg2+. Formation of β-CD stabilized ZnS NPs (ZnS@β-CD) was verified by physicochemical characterization techniques such as XRD, XPS, FE-SEM, and TEM. ZnS@β-CD NPs showed color change selectively for the metal ions Pb2⁺, Cu2⁺, and Hg2⁺ among the various metal ions including Sn2⁺, Cr³⁺, Mn2⁺, Fe³⁺, Co2⁺, Ni2⁺, and Cd2⁺. The solubility product of reactants and the transformed products are the reason for selective CER of ZnS@β-CD NPs towards Pb2⁺, Cu2⁺, and Hg2⁺ ions. ZnS@β-CD NPs dispersion revealed rapid color change from white to orange, black, and bright yellow on the addition of higher concentrations of Pb2⁺, Cu2⁺, and Hg2⁺ respectively. This color change is due to the formation of complete CER-transformed nanostructures such as PbS, CuS, and HgS in higher concentrations (10⁻1- 10⁻³ M) of corresponding metal ions. The partial CER altered products Zn1-x,PbxS, Zn1-xCuxS and Zn1-xHgxS were detected due to the appearance of pale color in the lower metal ions concentrations of 10⁻⁴ - 10⁻⁶ M. This CER assisted transformation was also monitored through spectrophotometric methods. Moreover, infrared spectroscopic analysis was used to testify the structure of CER transformed product. The synthesized ZnS@β-CD NPs act as an efficient CER-based sensor for distinguishing and determining Pb2⁺, Cu2⁺, and Hg2⁺ at different level concentrations in the aqueous solution.

Abstract
A functional carrageenan/agar-based film was prepared by combining tea tree oil Pickering emulsion (PET) and zinc sulfide nanoparticles (ZnSNP). PET was formulated using tea tree essential oil stabilized with nanocellulose fibers. PET and ZnSNPs were uniformly dispersed in the binary polymer matrix and formed compatible films. The incorporation of ZnSNPs improved the mechanical strength, whereas PET slightly decreased the strength, but the combined addition of ZnSNP and PET maintained the mechanical strength with slightly improved flexibility. The addition of ZnSNP and PET, alone or in combination, slightly improved the water vapor barrier, water resistance, and thermal stability of the film. In addition, the carrageenan/agar-based composite membrane showed distinct antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The ZnSNP and PET incorporated binary composite films with enhanced physical and functional properties are likely to be used in active food packaging applications.

Abstract
Here we report on the robust synthesis of zinc sulfide nanoparticles (ZnSNP) using a simple one-pot reaction. The prepared ZnSNP was characterized and confirmed to be a petal-shaped nanoparticle. The ZnSNP was added to fabricate the pectin/agar-based functional composite film. The integration of ZnSNP has greatly improved the physical properties of the film, such as mechanical and UV protection properties, without significantly changing the transparency of the film. The addition of the nanofillers did not affect the film's hydrophobicity, water vapor barrier, and thermal properties. Moreover, the composite film showed intense antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogenic bacteria, E. coli and L. monocytogenes. The functional bio-nanocomposite films based on pectin/agar have high potential in active packaging applications.

Valentinite and Colloform Sphalerite in Epithermal Deposits from Baia Mare Area, Eastern Carpathians. MINERALS 2020.

Abstract
Valentinite forms through the alteration of stibnite in sulphide deposits. Colloform sphalerite is a widespread mineral in low-temperature deposits, particularly those of the Mississippi-Valley type. We identified valentinite and colloform sphalerite in hydrothermal deposits occurring in the Baia Mare area. The Baia Mare metallogenic district of Neogene age occurs in the northwestern part of the Neogene volcanic chain within the Eastern Carpathians. The Neogene volcanism from Baia Mare area is related to the subduction processes of the East European plate under two microplates, Alcapa and Tisza-Dacia/Tisia, in the post-collisional compressive phase. We have identified valentinite in the Dealul Crucii and Baia Sprie deposits, associated with other epithermal minerals, in the absence of the stibnite. Valentinite is deposited in the final phase of the epithermal process after calcite and manganese-bearing calcite. Micro-Raman and microprobe determinations indicate the presence of valentinite. The formula of valentinite is close to stoichiometric Me2O3 and contains small amounts of tin as an antimony substituent. Colloform sphalerite was identified in the Baia Sprie ore deposit associated with minerals formed in the final epithermal phase. It was deposited on idiomorphic crystals of stibnite, which it corrodes. Its structure and an alternate banding, exhibited on the nano-/microscale, were identified by optical microscopy, SEM (scanning electron microscopy), and BSE (backscattered electron microscopy) imaging. These structures are typical for colloform sphalerite and suggest a genesis due to episodic precipitation. The spherical nano/micro-particles (nodules) are characteristic of the colloform sphalerite from Baia Sprie. Raman analysis indicates the presence of a colloform sphalerite with low iron content. The typical diffraction lines for sphalerite were identified in X-ray diffraction: 3.118 Å (111), 1.907 Å (220), 1.627 Å (311). Microprobe analysis certifies the presence of sphalerite with the stoichiometric formula close to ZnS. Iron content is low (0%–0.0613%), but Sb (0.7726%–2.6813%), Pb (0.56%–1.1718%), Bi (0%–0.1227%) are also present. The negative correlation between Zn and Sb suggests the simultaneous deposition from the same epithermal fluids. Valentinite and colloform sphalerite were formed at low temperatures (100–150 °C) at the end of the epithermal process.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) possess energy storages advantages, including low cost, high safety, and durable lifetimes. Materials are worth exploring to achieve high-performance batteries. Although Bi2S3 is predicted to be highly capable for energy storage, it has never been used in aqueous ZIBs due to the structure degradation. Herein, we apply Bi2S3 in aqueous ZIBs and develop an ionic liquid enhanced poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) coating to perfectly stabilize the Bi2S3 electrode, which plays three roles of providing high conductivity, inhibiting grain pulverization and sulfur dissolution, and acting as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase. The synergistic merits of the desirable capacity of Bi2S3 and a versatile polymer provide a capacity of 275 mAh g-1 and excellent cycling stability up to 5300 cycles with 95.3% retention. A reversible conversion mechanism into hexagonal ZnS is revealed by investigation of a variety of spectra. The prepared quasi-solid battery based on a high concentration salt electrolyte/polyacrylamide hydrogel exhibits a high energy density (315 Wh kg-1) and long-term cyclability over 5300 cycles. For demonstration, a single battery can power a digital hygrometer thermometer for more than 14 h 48 min. This work highlights a ground-breaking demonstration of incorporating structural integrity with stable interfacial chemistry.

Abstract
Hierarchical nanostructures (HNs) are possibly endowed with novel properties due to their complex three-dimensional (3D) structures. Here, we provide a novel stepwise growth strategy of Coordination Complex Transformation-Assisted Growth for fabricating HNs. By using this, we prepare a new wurtzite ZnS HNs-hollow chestnut-like hierarchical microspheres (HCHMs), which are mesoporous hollow microspheres with single crystalline nanorods arrayed densely and radially from the centre. The HCHMs formation depends on the stepwise decomposition of the two Zn2+ complexes ([Zn(en)m(H₂O)2(3-m)]2+ and [Zn(en)m(NH₃)2(3-m)]2+, natural number m < 3). As the reaction proceeds, [Zn2+] has been distinctly reduced due to the transformation from [Zn(en)m(H₂O)2(3-m)]2+ to [Zn(en)m(NH₃)2(3-m)]2+ with a high stability constant, leading to a low crystal growth rate to obtain single crystalline nanorods. Additionally, the generated bubbles (CO₂, NH₃) acting as a template can induce the generation of hollow structure. The as-prepared ZnS HCHMs show an enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity due to the single crystalline wurtzite phase and the high surface area contributed by the hollow hierarchical structures, as well as the mesoporosity. The versatility of the coordination complex transformation-assisted growth strategy will open up new possibilities for fabricating HNs, especially for those transition metal ions with excellent complex capabilities.
