A simplified sample pretreatment procedure was developed for quantitative measurement of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) in environmental water. On the basis of coordination capacity between NTA and metal ions, aluminum-based metal organic framework (MOF, MIL-53(Al)) was adopted for the adsorption of NTA, followed by stripping with copper sulfate as the eluent. The adsorbed NTA was converted into Cu-NTA during the desorption process, which facilitated the ensuing measurement by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A linear range within 0.10 - 10 mg L was achieved, along with a limit of detection (LOD, S/N=3, n=7) of 0.03 mg L and an enrichment factor of 10.4. The developed method was validated by the analysis of sea water, influent of wastewater treatment plant and industrial wastewater, with satisfactory recoveries (90.2 - 91.1%) obtained.

Multimetal nanoparticles, including medium- and high-entropy spinel ferrites (MESF/HESFs), are of significant interest, but large-scale production with high monodispersity remains challenging and poorly documented. Traditional synthesis methods balance simplicity and quality, with thermal decomposition being optimal for scalable, uniform nanoparticle production. However, its utility is limited by costly and sensitive precursors like acetylacetonates and carbonyls, or oleates, which require tedious synthesis, are hard to handle, and are moisture-sensitive, impacting nanoparticle quality.

Bacterial infections represent an increasing global health threat, exacerbated by the decline in antibiotic effectiveness due to widespread resistance. Biofilms, structured microbial communities embedded in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), significantly hinder treatment by limiting antibiotic penetration and promoting bacterial persistence. With over 80 % of bacterial infections involving biofilms, there is an urgent need for antibiotic-free approaches that can disrupt these protective matrices.

Alkaline zinc-based flow batteries suffer from poor zinc reversibility due to dendrite growth and parasitic reactions, which significantly shorten their cycling lifespan. A key challenge lies in the rational design of ligands to eliminate concentration polarization caused by mismatched diffusion and interfacial reaction rates, thereby inducing and regulating uniform zinc deposition. In this study, we propose a thermodynamic descriptor-guided ligand screening strategy, using the metal-ligand stability constant (log K) as a quantitative criterion to simultaneously optimize deposition morphology and interfacial ion kinetics.

The electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CORR) to ethanol (CHOH) represents notable research significance and commercial value in large-scale chemical production. However, the limited selectivity for CHOH and the uncontrollable changes in active sites during reaction process restrict the ability of catalyst to achieve stable and efficient CORR to CHOH at industrial current density. Here, we report a system that immunizes the reconstruction of catalytic active sites, where the CuAg catalytic centers are protected by nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA).

Turn-on fluorescent probes consisting of dye-ligand conjugates serve as a powerful tool for detecting cell surface proteins (CSPs) and their interactions with binding partners. However, generating such probes from protein-based ligands remains challenging. This challenge became particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted the need for assays to evaluate inhibitors of the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 virus receptor-binding domain (RBD) and the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor.
