Abstract
The development of chemiluminescence-based innovation sensing systems and the construction of a sensing mechanism to improve the analytical performance of compounds remain a great challenge. Herein, we fabricated an advanced oxidation processes pretreated chemiluminescence (AOP-CL) sensing system via the introduction of cobalt-modified black phosphorus nanosheets (Co@BPNs) to achieve higher efficient thiabendazole (TBZ) detection. Co@BPNs, enriched with lattice oxygen, exhibited a superior catalytic performance for accelerating the decomposition of ferrate (VI). This Co@BPNs-based ferrate (VI) AOP system demonstrated a unique ability to selectively decompose TBZ, resulting in a strong CL emission. On this basis, a highly selective and sensitive CL sensing platform for TBZ was established, which exhibited strong resistance to common ions and pesticides interference. This was successfully applied to detecting TBZ in environmental samples such as tea and kiwi fruits. Besides, the TBZ detection mechanism was explored, Co@BPNs-based ferrate (VI) AOP system produced a high yield of ROS (mainly 1O2), which oxidized the thiazole-based structure of TBZ, generating chemical energy that was transferred to Co@BPNs via a chemical electron exchange luminescence (CIEEL) mechanism, leading to intense CL emission. Notably, this study not only proposed an innovative approach to enhance the chemical activity and CL properties of nanomaterials but also offered a new pathway for designing efficient CL probes for pollutant monitoring in complex samples.

Abstract
Cr(VI) rebound is the primary risk associated with the reduction remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil. The potential impact of sulfites, which can be produced by microbial activities or originate from sulfur-containing remediation agents, on the Cr(VI) rebound in the vadose zone has been overlooked. When sulfites are present, the stability of CrxFe1-x(OH)3 is compromised and significantly inferior to that of Cr(OH)3, as demonstrated in this paper. First, Fe acts as a catalyst for the conversion of adsorbed sulfite to SO4·-, which subsequently triggers the oxidation of Cr(III) and results in the rebound of Cr(VI). The heterogeneous catalysis by Fe on the surface of CrxFe1-x(OH)3 plays a predominant role, contributing to 78% of the actual oxidation of Cr(III) among all employed catalytic processes. The presence of ambient Cl- can exacerbate the rebound effect of Cr(VI) by promoting the generation of HOCl. Furthermore, a portion of released Cr(VI) was reduced to Cr(III) by dissolved sulfite in the presence of dissolved Fe as a catalyst, thereby increasing the dissolution and migration risk associated with CrxFe1-x(OH)3. Hence, the presence of sulfites results in a significant increase in the Cr(VI) rebound and Cr(III) release from CrxFe1-x(OH)3. This challenges the conventional understanding of the stability of CrxFe1-x(OH)3.

Abstract
This work describes the construction and evaluation of a fluorometer for use in paper analytical devices, using a smartphone to operate the instrument and to perform real-time image-based detection. In this approach, a circular PAD containing twenty analytical plates is rotated at 18° increments under a UV LED source, providing a sequential irradiation of plates and the detection of the luminescence with a lab-made application, capable of automatically identifying the analytical zones and collecting the RGB intensities from the selected pixels. As a proof of concept, the fluorometer performance was evaluated for the determination of quinine in beverages and riboflavin (B2 vitamin) in supplements. Quinine, which is less photoreactive, provided steady-state signals, while riboflavin, which rapidly degrades under UV photons, presented transient responses for RGB detection. For both analytes, linear calibration ranges (R2 > 0.99) were observed from 2.0 mg L-1 to 10.0 mg L-1 with limits of detection estimated at approximately 1.0 mg L-1. Nevertheless, it was demonstrated that successive additions of standard solutions to a single analytical plate of PAD could enhance the signal-to-noise ratios for less concentrated samples, acting as a pre-concentration step. In addition, suitable deviations for the signals (ca. 4.0%) and the absence of systematic errors for most samples (9 out of 11), when compared with a reference method at 95% confidence level, indicates that the proposed strategy is precise and accurate enough to be used as analytical tool for fluorescence detection in PAD.

Abstract
Enhancing the sensitivity and selectivity of chemiluminescence (CL) sensors for detecting chemical species in complex samples poses a significant challenge in nanoparticle surface engineering. Graphitic carbon nitride (CN) shows promise but suffers from weak CL intensity and unknown luminescence mechanisms. In this study, we propose a nitrogen defect strategy to enhance the CL efficiency of europium-functionalized graphitic carbon nitride (Eu-CNNPs). By controlling the dosage of the europium modification, we can adjust the nitrogen defect content to reduce the energy gap and improve the CL performance. Remarkably, Eu-CNNPs with rich nitrogen defects exhibit strong chemiluminescence emission specifically for singlet oxygen (1O2) without responding to other reactive oxygen species (ROS). Building upon this finding, we developed a direct, selective, and sensitive CL sensing platform for 1O2 in PM2.5 and monitored 1O2 production in photosensitizers without interference from metal ions. Through extensive experiments, we attribute the 1O2-driven CL response to the presence of abundant nitrogen defects in the CN material, accelerating electron transfer and yielding a high generation of 1O2. Furthermore, chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) between (1O2)2* (1O2 dimeric aggregate) and Eu-CNNPs contributes to strong CL emission. This work provides insights into enhancing the CL performance of CN and offers new possibilities for advancing the practical analysis of nanomaterials using the intriguing mechanism of nitrogen defects.

Abstract
Chemiluminescence (CL) probes that possess near-infrared (NIR) emission are highly desirable for in vivo imaging due to their deeper tissue penetration ability and intrinsically high sensitivity. Herein, a novel iridium-based CL probe (NIRIr-CL-1) with direct NIR emission was reported as the result of hypochlorous acid (HClO)-initiated oxidative deoximation. To improve its biocompatibility and extend the CL time for in vivo imaging applications, this NIRIr-CL-1 was prepared as a CL nanoparticle probe (NIRIr-CL-1 dots) through encapsulation by an amphiphilic polymer Pluronic F127 (F127). All results demonstrate that the NIRIr-CL-1 dots have good selectivity and sensitivity for visualization of HClO even at the depth of 1.2 cm. Owing to these advantages, the CL imaging of exogenous and endogenous HClO in mice was achieved. This study could provide new insights into the construction of new NIR emission CL probes and expand their applications in biomedical imaging.

Abstract
Defect engineering has become a significant research area in recent years; however, little has been reported on the biological method for modulating the intrinsic carbon defects of the biochar framework. Herein, a fungi-enabled method for the fabrication of porous carbon/Fe3O4/Ag (PC/Fe3O4/Ag) composites was developed, and the mechanism underlying the hierarchical structure is elucidated for the first time. By regulating the cultivation process of fungi on water hyacinth biomass, a well-developed interconnected structure and carbon defects acting as potential catalytic active sites were formed. This new material with antibacterial, adsorption and photodegradation properties could be an excellent choice for treating the mixed dyestuff effluents with oils and bacteria, also guiding pore channel regulation and defect engineering in materials science. Numerical simulations were carried out to demonstrate the remarkable catalytic activity.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) as one kind of air pollution not only causes extreme environmental pollution but also negatively affects human health. Chemiluminescence (CL) methods applied for sulfite analysis with high selectivity based on activating sulfite with oxidants are always implemented in acid media with a high background rise. In this work, we proposed to develop a mild CL system of Fe2+-SO32- to detect sulfite under neutral conditions and provide in situ CL spectral data for deeply studying the CL mechanism of Fe2+-SO32-. Herein, we first synthesized one type of water-soluble supramolecular nanosheets, APDI NSs, which had a strong oxidation potential (+2.9 V) due to a π-conjugated system for activation of sulfite to enhance the generation of SO3̇- and other active radicals, and strong a CL signal from the APDI NSs-Fe2+-SO32- system was generated. By studying the CL mechanism under acidic and neutral conditions, a new CL reaction pathway (path-1) and a key intermediate, S2O42-, from the reaction of Fe2+ and SO32- were found. The CL signal was emitted by SO2* after oxidation of S2O42- by strong oxidants like SO4•- and further amplified by APDI NSs through the CL resonance energy transfer (CRET) process. Based on the APDI NSs-Fe2+-SO32- system under neutral conditions, a CL method for detecting SO32- was established. The detection limit was 2.7 × 10-8 M (S/N = 3), and the recovery rates in spiked water samples were in the range of 87%-101%. This study strengthens the understanding of the CL reaction process of the Fe2+-SO32- system and provides a mild sulfite sensing platform for environmental samples.

Abstract
Total organic carbon (TOC) is a valuable indicator to evaluate the degree of organic pollution in wastewater. Real-time analysis of TOC in wastewater can allow the wastewater treatment plants to manage the treatment process efficiently, avoid violations of the discharge regulations, and eliminate overtreatment. However, traditional methods for TOC determination are time-consuming. Benefitting from the rapid generation of SO4•- in the iron(II)-activated peroxymonosulfate (Fe(II)/PMS) system and the high reactivity of SO4•- towards naproxen as a chemiluminescence (CL) probe, a surrogate for TOC based on the determination of CL quenching capacity (CLQC) of organics in the Fe(II)/PMS-naproxen system was developed. According to the derived equation by considering both non-fluorescent and fluorescent quenching, the CLQC of organics in the Fe(II)/PMS-naproxen system was highly dependent on their TOC, making it to be a potential surrogate for TOC. The interferences of ubiquitous inorganic ions in wastewater on the determination of CLQC were leveled by adjusting electrical conductivity and adding mercury ions. Finally, the feasibility of CLQC as a surrogate for TOC in two real wastewaters containing different concentrations of inorganic anions was confirmed. This work can provide a TOC value within several seconds by determining the CLQC of wastewater with Fe(II)/PMS-naproxen system.
