Lead immobilization for environmentally sustainable perovskite solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Hui Zhang, Antonio Abate

Lead halide perovskites are promising semiconducting materials for solar energy harvesting. However, the presence of heavy-metal lead ions is problematic when considering potential harmful leakage into the environment from broken cells and also from a publ ...

Evidence that Pacific tuna mercury levels are driven by marine methylmercury production and anthropogenic inputs

Hélène Paule Angot

Pacific Ocean tuna is among the most-consumed seafood products but contains relatively high levels of the neurotoxin methylmercury. Limited observations suggest tuna mercury levels vary in space and time, yet the drivers are not well understood. Here, we m ...

Poisoning of Mn-Ce/AC catalysts for low-temperature NH3-SCR of NO by K+ and its counter-ions (Cl- /NO3- /SO42- )

Oliver Kröcher, Jie Yang, Davide Ferri, Rob Jeremiah G. Nuguid

Mn-Ce/AC catalysts for low-temperature NH3-SCR of NOx were deliberately loaded with various potassium salts (KCl, KNO3, and K2SO4) to investigate the influence of the counter-ions on the poisoning impact. Whereas K salts poisoning had only marginal impact ...

Probiotics and gut microbiome-Prospects and challenges in remediating heavy metal toxicity

Edgard Gnansounou, Ranjna Sirohi

The gut microbiome, often referred to as "super organ", comprises up to a hundred trillion microorganisms, and the species diversity may vary from person to person. They perform a decisive role in diverse biological functions related to metabolism, immunit ...

Development of a Heavy Metal Sensing Boat for Automatic Analysis in Natural Waters Utilizing Anodic Stripping Voltammetry

Qiuyue Yang, Bhawna Nagar

Determination of the levels of heavy metal ions would support assessment of sources and pathways of water pollution. However, traditional spatial assessment by manual sampling and off-site detection in the laboratory is expensive and time-consuming and req ...

Inkjet-Printed Carbon Nanotube Electrodes Modified with Dimer-captosuccinic Acid-Capped Fe3O4 Nanoparticles on Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanosheets for Single-Drop Determination of Trifluoperazine

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Milica Jovic

Here we report the design of a disposable single-drop voltammetric sensor for the quantitative determination of antipsy-chotic drug trifluoperazine (TFP). The sensor was build using inkjet-printed carbon nanotube (CNT) electrodes which were modified with d ...

Transport of zinc ions in the hyporheic zone: Experiments and simulations

David Andrew Barry

Large amounts of toxic metals are discharged into rivers and lakes, but little is known about the factors that drive the adsorption and transformation of these metals in the hyporheic zone and the exchange flux across the sediment-water interface. To bette ...

Towards simple tools to assess functional effects of contaminants on natural microbial and invertebrate sediment communities

Sophie Campiche, Maria del Carmen Casado Martinez, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari

Surface sediments can accumulate contaminants that affect microorganisms and invertebrates and disturb benthic ecological functions. However, effects of contaminants on ecological functions supported by sediment communities are understudied. Here, we teste ...

Mechanistic Investigations of Nickamine-catalyzed Hydrosilylation of Alkenes: Nickel Nanoparticles Are the Active Species

Xile Hu, Marten Leendert Ploeger

Hydrosilylation is an important chemical process for the synthesis of organosilanes and for the production of silicone polymers. The wide variety of catalysts developed for this reaction generally follow a Chalk-Harrod, or a sigma-bond metathesis mechanism ...

Chelating agents as coating molecules for iron oxide nanoparticles

Heinrich Hofmann, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Débora Bonvin, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen

Due to their high chemical affinity towards metal ions, chelating agents (CAs) have been used for decades for water purification, but also for protection against metal intoxication and in nanomedicine as linking molecules at the surface of nanoparticles. H ...

Mercury tissue residue approach in Chironomus riparius: Involvement of toxicokinetics and comparison of subcellular fractionation methods

Along with the growing body of evidence that total internal concentration is not a good indicator of toxicity, the Critical Body Residue (CBR) approach recently evolved into the Tissue Residue Approach (TRA) which considers the biologically active portion ...

Metal Distribution and Characterization of Cultivable Lead-Resistant Bacteria in Shooting Range Soils

Aline Sondra Adler

Shooting ranges represent about 10% of polluted sites in Switzerland. This pollution, mainly consisting of lead (Pb) and antimony (Sb), can spread into the local groundwater, wildlife and plants. In this study, shooting range stop butt soils (elevated soil ...

Improving Heterogeneous Catalyst Stability for Liquid-phase Biomass Conversion and Reforming

Jeremy Luterbacher, Bartosz Rozmyslowicz, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel

Biomass is a possible renewable alternative to fossil carbon sources. Today, many bio-resources can be converted to direct substitutes or suitable alternatives to fossil-based fuels and chemicals. However, catalyst deactivation under the harsh, often liqui ...
