Abstract
N2H4 is a common raw material used in the production of pesticides and has good water solubility, so it may contaminate water sources and eventually enter living organisms, causing serious health problems. Viscosity is an important indicator of the cellular microenvironment and an early warning signal for many diseases. The high reactivity of hydrazine depletes glutathione (GSH) in hepatocytes, causing oxidative stress ultimately leading to significant changes in intracellular viscosity and even death. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an effective method to detect N2H4 and viscosity in environmental and biological systems. On this basis, we developed two fluorescent probes, BDD and BHD, based on xanthene and 2-benzothiazole acetonitrile. The experimental results show that BHD and BDD have good imaging capabilities for N2H4 in cells, zebrafish and Arabidopsis. BHD and BDD also showed sensitive detection and fluorescence enhancement in the near-infrared region when the intracellular viscosity was changed. Notably, the probe BDD has also successfully imaged N2H4 in a variety of real water samples.

Abstract
Aluminum is a key component in nearly nourishment stuffs and medications. It is also found in treated drinking water in the form of reactive species, and aluminum salts are commonly utilized as flocculants in water treatment. Meanwhile, it was not thought to be a dangerous metal for people, but research showed a possible link with Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer, autism, and aluminum. Controlling the amount of aluminum in food processing, agriculture, and drinking water is crucial, thus newly synthesized Al(III) ion selective electrode based on innocuous reagent, flubendazole drug, has been developed. The electrode displayed Nernstian slopes of 20.11 0.47 mV decade-1 at 25 ± 1 °C, covering a wide concentration range of Al(III) from 1 × 10-7 to 1 × 10-1 mol L-1. The response mechanism is studied using IR, computational calculations, morphological tools. The developed sensor has been utilized to accurately measure Al(III) ions in genuine water samples, multivitamin syrup, and food stuff.

Abstract
The propagation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) greatly endangers the ecological safety and human health. This study employed pyrite (FeS2, naturally abundant mineral) for periodate (PI) activation to disinfect ARB. FeS2/PI system could disinfect 1 × 107 CFU mL-1 of kanamycin-resistant E.coli below the limit of detection in 20 min. Efficient ARB inactivation performance was achieved in pH from 3 to 9, ionic strength from 0 to 300 mM, with HA (0.1-10 mg L-1) in suspension, and in real water samples including tap water, river water and sewage. FeS2/PI system could also efficiently disinfect gentamycin-resistant E.coli and Gram-positive B. subtilis. The generated reactive species including Fe(IV), ·O2- and ·OH would attack cell membrane and overwhelmed intracellular defense system. The intracellular kanamycin resistance genes in cells would be released and then degraded in FeS2/PI system. PI preferred to be adsorbed on Fe site of FeS2 (with lower adsorption energy, more occupancy of bonding state and stronger bonding strength). The subsequent transfer of electron cloud from Fe site to PI would cleave IO bond to generate reactive species. Moreover, FeS2/PI system could also combine with sand filtration system to efficiently capture and disinfect ARB. Therefore, FeS2/PI system is a promising approach to inactivate ARB in different scenarios.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are two types of pollutants coexisting in the environment. Their co-exposure is a source of increasing concern. MPs present in the natural environment suppose an ideal surface for the sorption of hazardous contaminants. This study investigates the adsorption behaviour of six PFASs on polyamide (PA) MPs. Adsorption experiments under various internal (PA and PFASs dosage, PA particle size) and environmental (pH, ionic strength, dissolved organic matter) factors were carried out. Isotherm results (from 0.1 to 25 mg/L of PFASs) showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of the selected PFASs on the PA was as follows: perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS, 0.873 mg/g) > perfluorooctanoic acid (0.235 mg/g) > perfluoroheptanoic acid (0.231 mg/g) > perfluorohexanoic acid (0.201 mg/g) > perfluoropentanoic acid (0.192 mg/g) > perfluorobutanoic acid (0.188 mg/g) (pH 5.88, 0% salinity and 0% of dissolved organic matter). The PFOS has more tendency to be sorbed onto PA than perfluorocarboxilic acids. The MP characterization by scanning electron microscopy, X ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed changes in the PA surface after adsorption assays. Pore filling, hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds governed sorption process. The sorption capacity of PFASs was crucially affected by the PA size (from 19.6% to 99.9% for 3 mm and 50 μm particle size, respectively). The process was not significantly influenced by salinity while the dissolved organic matter exerted a negative effect (decrease from 100% to 26% for PFOS in presence of 25 mg/L of humic acid). Finally, adsorption rates of PFASs were quantified in real water matrices (influent and effluent wastewater, surface and tap water samples). The results revealed interactions between PA and PFASs and evidenced the role of PA as a vector to transport PFASs in the aquatic environment.

Abstract
In this paper, a fluorescent probe (QFR) for the detective work of 4-methylthiophenol was successfully synthesized with a simple but highly effective probe structure. In the buffer solution (V(ACN): V(PBS) = 3:7), by observing the response of the probe after the fluorescence was turned on, we concluded that the probe had good characteristics such as high selectivity, low detection limit (116 nM), and fast response speed (20 min). In addition, the probe was a rare fluorescent probe that detected 4-methylthiophenol but did not respond to thiophenol. Fluorescence intensity was linearly related to 4-methylthiophenol concentration in the range of 0 to 2 equivalents (0-10 μM). The probe demonstrated good results in the determination of the recovery rate (92.28% to 110.1%) of actual water samples, and has great potential in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
A novel dual-functional peptide probe FLH based on fluorescent "on-off-on" strategy and colorimetric visualization method was designed and synthesized. This new probe exhibited highly selective and rapid detection of Cu2+ with significant fluorescent "turn-off" response, with a visible colorimetric change from yellow to orange. The combination ratio of FLH to Cu2+ (1:1) was determined using ESI-HRMS spectra and Job's plot. The fluorescent emission showed a good linear response (R2 = 0.9986) with a low detection limit of 1.5 nM. In addition, the FLH-Cu2+ complex displayed colorimetric changes and a fluorescent "off-on" response toward CN- over a wide pH range from 7 to 12. This detection behavior was observed within 20 s, with a limit of detection (LOD) for CN- at 12.7 nM. Based on stability and accuracy, FLH was next developed as dual-functional test strips, and was also successfully applied to detect Cu2+ and CN- in two actual water samples. More importantly, the cytotoxicity studies indicated that FLH had good biocompatibility and low toxicity, and was successfully utilized for monitoring Cu2+ and CN- in living cells through fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
A new fluorescent probe (MBT) for the detection of 4-methylbenzenethiol (p-MePhSH) was developed by using 4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-methoxyphenol as the fluorophore and 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether as the sensing moiety. Probe MBT displayed good selectivity toward p-MePhSH in DMSO/PBS buffer (5/5, v/v) solution and anti-interference over other competitive species via nucleophilic aromatic substitution. The fluorescence intensities of the probe responded p-MePhSH showed a 22-fold enhancement and good linearity with p-MePhSH concentration collected in the range of 0-15 μM. Moreover, the probe is sensitive to p-MePhSH and the limit of detection is 45 nM. The sensing mechanism of probe MBT was verified by high-resolution mass spectrometry and fluorescence lifetime. Furthermore, the probe was used to the detection of p-MePhSH in real water samples.

Abstract
Water pollution has become a worldwide threat as the natural water resources are shrinking day by day. Emergent actions are needed to conserve water stocks to fulfill the sustainable development goals. Herein, we have prepared activated carbon-doped magnetic nanocomposites (AC@CoFe2O4) with environment friendly approach and characterized for FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDS, BET surface area, and pHzpc. AC@CoFe2O4 nanocomposite was applied for the decolorization of toxic food dyes (rhodamine B and tartrazine) from wastewater. Effect of ultrasonic waves, pH, contact time, surfactants, temperature, and analysis of real wastewater systems were studied. Adsorption isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamics of the experiment were calculated for the present removal process. The effect of ultrasonication shows that the maximum removal percentage for RhB was found to be 92% and for tartrazine, it was found to be 86% at 60 min. Ultrasound-assisted adsorption and degradation revealed good results because of the formation of highly active ·H and ·OH radicals in the liquid through the decomposition of water molecules by the formation of hot spots under ultrasonic waves. Highest decolorization of 69% was obtained for RhB with anionic surfactant SDS and climax decolorization of tartrazine was acquired in case of CTAB as 60.5%. Analysis of real wastewater samples shows that the decolorization of RhB was found to be ~ 91% from well-water and ~ 95% removal of tartrazine was observed from submersible water on AC@CoFe2O4 nanocomposites. The decolorization best fitted (R2 < 0.988) with Langmuir model and value of Langmuir climax decolorization efficiency (Q0) was found to be 142.68 and 435.72 mg/g for RhB and tartrazine, respectively. Kinetic analysis revealed that adsorption follows pseudo-second-order equation. The dye-loaded AC@CoFe2O4 nanocomposites were recycled by 0.1 M HCl or NaOH and regenerated AC@CoFe2O4 nanocomposites were used up to five rounds with better adsorption efficiency.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the fabrication of green bell pepper, Capsicum annuum L. extract capped gold nanoparticles (CA-AuNPs) in aqueous medium using tetrachloroaurate (HAuCl4·3H2O) as precursor salt and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution as accelerator as well as pH adjuster. Formation of CA-AuNPs was verified via colour change from yellowish to ruby red with further confirmation through surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band at 519 nm using ultraviolet violet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. Other characterizations techniques include, Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) with Zeta-potential analysis (ZPA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. The resulting AuNPs were efficaciously implemented as highly sensitive colorimetric sensor for selective detection of Fe2+ in the presence of several interfering cations including Fe3+. Importantly, the fabricated CA-AuNPs based colorimetric sensor functioned linearly in the range of 0.3-7.0 ppb Fe2+, based on increasing absorption intensity with R2 value of 0.9938 using UV-Vis spectrometry. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for Fe2+ were estimated as 0.036 and 0.12 ppb, respectively. Finally, the sensor was effectively tested for determination of Fe2+ in some locally collected real water samples.

Abstract
As an important environmental indicator, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) was proved extremely harmful to human body. In this article, hollow molecularly imprinted fluorescent polymers (@MIPs) for the selective detection of 2,4,6-TCP were devised and fabricated by sacrificial skeleton method based on SiO2 nanoparticles. As the most innovation, highly luminescent europium complex Eu(MAA)3phen played the role of both fluorophores and functional monomers of the MIPs. The obtained @MIPs showed monodispersity and the average particle size was around 130 nm. It had a linear fluorescent response within the concentration range 10-100 nmol L-1 with the correlation coefficient calculated as 0.99625, and the limit of detection was identified as 2.41 nmol L-1. The results show that Eu(MAA)3phen as a fluorophore has high luminescent properties, and as a functional monomer, it can improve the selectivity and anti-interference performance of MIPs. Furthermore, the hollow structure made it possible that the imprinted specific recognition sites distributed on both inner and outer surfaces of @MIPs. The experimental results showed that these @MIPs could be employed to the selective detection of chlorophenols under low concentration. And this work will provide a reference for further optimization of fluorescent imprinted sensors.

Abstract
A new ratiometric fluorescent strategy for detection of alizarin red (ARS) was designed based on the fluorescence of CDs and scattered light of scatterer. The CDs-ARS system can be used to detect Pb2+ based on that the complexation between ARS and Pb2+. With the addition of ARS, the fluorescence of CDs was apparently quenched via inner filter effect (IFE). Resonance Rayleigh Scattering (RRS) at 350 nm was enhanced by an increase in the number of scatterer. The value of ln(I350/I425) was linearly correlated with ARS concentration in the range of 0-80 μM, and the detection limit for ARS was calculated to be 68.1 nM. When Pb2+ was added to the CDs-ARS system, the complexation of ARS with Pb2+ increased the size of the scatterer, resulting in the increase of the RRS intensity at 350 nm. Due to the affinity between ARS and Pb2+, the overlap of the emission spectra of CDs and the absorption spectra of ARS was reduced, resulting in the IFE effect was inhibited and the recovery of the fluorescence of CDs. The value of I350/I425 linearly increased with the addition of Pb2+ within the range of 10-50 μM, the limit of detection was 36.8 nM. As for practical application, CDs and CDs-ARS were applied to detect ARS and Pb2+ in tap water and poor water, respectively. The recovery values were obtained to be 95.4-98.8% and 93.4-101.7%. Furthermore, the system of CDs-ARS has been successfully applied to H1299 cell imaging.

Abstract
Mercury is one of the most hazardous pollutants, and mercury pollution is a serious hazard to our environment. Herein, we designed and synthesized a new peptide-based fluorescent chemosensor (L) based on a Fmoc-Lys (Fmoc)-OH backbone conjugated with two Serines and dansyl groups using solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) technology. L exhibited highly selective and excellent sensitive detection of Hg2+ ions in 100% aqueous solutions through fluorescence quenching. The chemosensor L forms a 2:1 stoichiometry with high binding constants (4.89×106M-1) and the detection limit for Hg2+ ions of the proposed assay was 7.59nM. In addition, the recovery test results of Hg2+ concentration in actual water samples showed that the quantitative detection of Hg2+ ions can be realized in two water samples. Moreover, L showed low cytotoxicity and excellent membrane permeability in HK2 cells, which has been successfully applied for monitoring Hg2+ ions in living LNCaP cells.

Abstract
We reported a novel colorimetric method for highly selective halide ions (Cl-, Br-and I-) recognition by Ag nanoclusters hydrogel (Ag-NCs hydrogel). The Ag-NCs hydrogel could discriminate Cl-, Br-and I- ions from a wide range of environmentally important anions, identified by the distinct UV-vis absorption band changes or the change in the color of Ag-NCs hydrogel. On the basis of this strategy, 20 μM and 200 μM of Cl-, 5 μM and 100 μM of Br-, 5 μM and 100 μM of I- could be recognized within 5 min by UV-vis spectrum and naked eye observation, respectively. The surface color of hydrogel changed from yellow to dark green for Cl-, to brown for Br-, and to deep brown for I-. In addition, this sensing method had been applied successfully to detect chloride anion in real water samples such as tap water, pond water and pure water. Therefore, this rapid, facile, and cost-effective colorimetric assay based on Ag-NCs hydrogel was attractive and promising.

Abstract
A new covalent organic framework (COF) was synthesized by the amide coupling between 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene and trimesoyl chloride at room temperature. The COF was applied as a steel fiber coating for the solid phase microextraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from water samples. The effect of extraction time, salt concentration, and extraction temperature on the efficiency of SPME was optimized by a Box-Behnken design. The PAHs were quantified by gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection. Figures of merit include (a) a wide linear range (typically from 0.2 ng L-1 to 2 μg L-1), (b) low limits of detection (0.29 to 0.94 ng L-1 at S/N = 3), and (c) high enrichment factors (EFs; 819-2420). Density functional theory was employed to study the interaction between the COF cluster and the PAHs. The results demonstrated that the EFs increase with the enhancement of π stacking interaction. The repeatability (one fiber; n = 5) and reproducibility (fiber to fiber; n = 5), expressed as the relative standard deviations were in the range of 4.3%-8.4% and 8.5-11.0%, respectively. The recoveries of the PAHs from water samples spiked at levels of 20.0 and 100 ng L-1 ranged from 79.0% to 105.0%. Graphical abstract A covalent organic framework prepared from 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene and trimesoyl chloride (TAPB-TMC-COF) was synthesized and employed as solid phase microextraction (SPME) fiber coating for the extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from water samples prior to gas chromatography (GC) - mass spectrometric (MS) detection.

Abstract
The fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) with high fluorescent quantum yield (φf = 62%) and down- and up-conversion fluorescence properties were synthesized by one-pot hydrothermal treatment of citric acid and tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl aminomethane. The CDs displayed the capability to absorb excitation wavelength at 660 nm and 330 nm with fluorescence emission wavelength at 398 nm and 399 nm, respectively. The CDs showed high selectivity towards Hg2+ against various metal ions. Around 70% fluorescence was quenched by 40 μM Hg2+ through dynamic and static quenching mechanisms. Because of stronger affinity between the thiol and Hg2+, over 90% fluorescence was recovered by adding 40 μM glutathione to CDs-Hg2+ system. The calibration curves exhibited wide linear region for Hg2+ (0-4 μM) and glutathione (0-30 μM). The limits of detection with down- and up-conversion for Hg2+ were calculated to be 0.23 μM and 0.25 μM, and for glutathione were 0.28 μM and 0.29 μM, respectively. Inspired by the sensing results, logic gates with Hg2+ and glutathione as inputs were also established. Most importantly, this method was applied to detect Hg2+ and glutathione in tap water and lake water, and the recovery values were obtained to be 96.2%-110.4% and 93.4%-96.9%.

Abstract
We propose a simple, economical, and one-pot method to synthesize water-soluble functionalized fluorescent carbon dots (C-Dots) through electrochemical carbonization of sodium citrate and urea. The as-prepared C-Dots have good photostability and exhibit a high quantum yield of 11.9%. The sizes of the C-Dots are mainly distributed in the range of 1.0-3.5 nm with an average size of 2.4 nm. It has been further used as a novel label-free sensing probe for selective detection of Hg(2+) ions with detection limit as low as 3.3 nM. The detection linear range is 0.01-10 μM. The as-prepared C-Dots are also successfully applied for the determination of Hg(2+) in real water samples.
