Article Abstract
The spatiotemporal attenuation of Cd and Zn concentrations was assessed in sediments from Sepetiba Bay, which is a coastal system that has been historically impacted by industrial wastes. The evolution of contamination over the years shortly before and after cessation of electroplating industry activities, by the end of 1990's, was elucidated by reviewing the existing datasets for the whole bay area. Metal concentrations exceed Brazilian Sediment Quality Guidelines in most regions, corresponding to concentrations 3 to 4 orders of magnitude higher than background levels and Enrichment Factors reaching values significantly higher than 40 for both elements. In the second decade after electroplating industry closure, the levels of Cd and Zn lowered in most regions of the bay. However, an increase in the relative importance of diffuse sources can mislead the current and future identification of Cd and Zn input, bringing new challenges for environmental monitoring and management for Sepetiba bay.

As advanced optoelectronics continue to integrate, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding technologies have been extensively developed to meet multifunctional requirements, including ultrathin, flexible, and transparent properties. In this study, we develop a transparent EMI shielding film by embedding TiCT MXene particles within one-dimensional (1D) metallic fiber structures. This 1D structure facilitates the formation of a percolative network, enabling high EMI shielding performance while maintaining significant visible light transmission.

In the present work, we report the hydrothermal synthesis and detailed characterization of a series of ultramicroporous, luminescent, multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the general formula [Al(OH)(IATP)(NH-BDC)], constructed from two different dicarboxylate ligands, HIATP = 2-(((1-imidazol-4-yl)methyl)amino) terephthalic acid and NH-HBDC = 2-aminoterephthalic acid. Structural analysis, using both powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED), confirms that the reported MTV-Al-MOFs are topological analogues of the related NH2-MIL-53(Al) MOF. Introducing ultramicroporosity (∼5.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been extensively used in the electroplating globally, yet the source characterization remains inadequately quantified. This study provides a high-resolution characterization of PFAS for the Chinese electroplating industry by combining target and nontarget analysis of samples, including chrome mist suppressants, plating bath solutions, wastewater, and sludge. A total of 91 PFAS homologues, spanning 14 classes, were identified by nontarget analysis.

Due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and resistance to degradation, perfluorinated substances (PFASs) have significant impacts on the environment and human health. This study comprehensively analyzed and assessed the occurrence characteristics, sources, and potential ecological risks of 13 PFASs in the Yangtze River. The results indicated that the concentrations of ΣPFASs range from 5.

Electroplating technology is crucial for interfacial engineering due to its flexible controllability and excellent protective performance. However, electroplated coatings often exhibit uneven deposition morphology due to the uncontrollable nucleation and growth of metal grains, which results in degraded coating performance. Here, we propose ligand coordination equilibria (LCE) that creates a dense coating by simultaneously modulating the solvation structure and optimizing the reduction process, exemplified by Al/Zr alloy electroplating.
