Abstract
Industrial and mining wastewater, along with copper tailings, are typically highly acidic and contain copper and other heavy metals, which may contaminate and damage the environment. Copper (Cu) is, however, a valuable metal, making its removal and recovery from such wastewater and tailings environmentally and economically advantageous. Chelating ion exchange resins featuring bis-picolylamine functional groups are especially suitable for application requiring selective recovery of Cu(II) from highly acidic media. In this study, and for the first time, the kinetics, binding capacity and selectivity of Lewatit MDS TP 220 chelating resin towards Cu(II) are reported. The resin was characterized by Zeta potential, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Factors including pH, initial concentration, contact time, temperature, and selectivity were investigated to assess the adsorption performance of the chelating resin. The adsorption kinetics tests revealed fast adsorption within the first 5-30 min and fitted the pseudo-second-order model, signifying chemisorption process. The adsorption isotherm followed the Langmuir model, implying monolayer adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity (qm) for Cu(II) determined by the Langmuir model was 103.9 mg/g. The adsorption thermodynamics showed an endothermic and spontaneous adsorption. FTIR and XPS studies suggested coordination or chelation as the possible adsorption mechanism. Lewatit MDS TP 220 exhibited excellent Cu(II) adsorption, desorption with 2 M ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), and selectivity in multi-metal ions solution. Additionally, the resin demonstrated excellent reusability after five regeneration steps. This chelating resin is a potential adsorbent for effective and recurrent recovery of Cu(II) from copper tailings and wastewater, thereby contributing to environmental remediation.

Abstract
This paper reports the adsorptive behavior of the 4-mercaptopyridine (4MPy) molecule soaked in gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that remain embedded in the bilayer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film matrix of stearic acid (SA) for various soaking times (STs). The as-fabricated substrate proved to be an efficient SERS sensing platform that can sense the analyte 4MPy molecules at trace concentrations of ∼1.0 × 10-9 M. The XPS study not only reveals the adsorption of 4Mpy molecules with AuNPs via a sulfur atom but also suggests partial degradation of the analyte molecule upon adsorption. This observation is further substantiated from the SERS spectral profile, which shows unusual broadening of the enhanced Raman bands of the molecule at higher STs. The experimental observations are supported by Born-Oppenheimer on-the-fly molecular dynamics (BO-OF-MD), time-resolved wavelet transform theory (WT), and the DFT calculations based on adcluster models. Selective enhancements of Raman bands in the SERS spectra further suggest the involvement of charge transfer (CT) interaction to the overall enhancements of Raman bands of the analyte molecule. The molecule → CT contribution has been estimated from electron density difference calculations and the corresponding CT distance; the amount of CT is also envisaged.

Abstract
Copper indium sulfide (CIS) quantum dots are ideal for bioimaging applications, by being characterized by high molar absorption coefficients throughout the entire visible spectrum, high photoluminescence quantum yield, high tolerance to the presence of lattice defects, emission tunability from the red to the near-infrared spectral region by changing their dimensions and composition, and long lifetimes (hundreds of nanoseconds) enabling time-gated detection to increase signal-to-noise ratio. The present review collects: (i) the most common procedures used to synthesize stable CIS QDs and the possible strategies to enhance their colloidal stability in aqueous environment, a property needed for bioimaging applications; (ii) their photophysical properties and parameters that affect the energy and brightness of their photoluminescence; (iii) toxicity and bioimaging applications of CIS QDs, including tumor targeting, time-gated detection and multimodal imaging, as well as theranostics. Future perspectives are analyzed in view of advantages and potential limitations of CIS QDs compared to most traditional QDs.

Abstract
The discovery of Pickering emulsion templated assembly enables the design of a hybrid colloidal capsule with engineered properties. However, the underlying mechanisms by which nanoparticles affect the mechanical properties of the shell are poorly understood. Herein, in situ mechanical compression on the transmission electron microscope and aberration-corrected scanning transmission microscope are unprecedentedly implemented to study the intrinsic effect of nanoparticles on the mechanical properties of the calcium carbonate (CaCO3 )-decorated silica (SiO2 ) colloidal capsule. The stiff and brittle nature of the colloidal capsule is due to the interfacial chemical bonding between the CaCO3 nanoparticles and SiO2 inner shell. Such bonding strengthens the mechanical strength of the SiO2 shell (166 ± 14 nm) from the colloidal capsule compared to the thicker single SiO2 shell (310 ± 70 nm) from the silica hollow sphere. At elevated temperature, this interfacial bonding accelerates the formation of the single calcium silicate shell, causing shell morphology transformation and yielding significantly enhanced mechanical strength by 30.9% and ductility by 94.7%. The superior thermal durability of the heat-treated colloidal capsule holds great potential for the fabrication of the functional additives that can be applied in the wide range of applications at elevated temperatures.

Abstract
Surface functionalization is a key factor for determining the performance of nanomaterials in a range of applications and their fate when released to the environment. Nevertheless, it is still relatively rare that surface groups or coatings are quantified using methods that have been carefully optimized and validated with a multi-method approach. We have quantified the surface groups on a set of commercial ZnO nanoparticles modified with three different reagents ((3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane, caprylsilane and stearic acid). This study used thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) of evolved gases and quantitative solution 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for quantification purposes with 13C-solid state NMR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to confirm assignments. Unmodified materials from the same suppliers were examined to assess possible impurities and corrections. The results demonstrate that there are significant mass losses from the unmodified samples which are attributed to surface carbonates or residual materials from the synthetic procedure used. The surface modified materials show a characteristic loss of functional group between 300-600 °C as confirmed by analysis of FT-IR spectra and comparison to NMR data obtained after quantitative release/extraction of the functional group from the surface. The agreement between NMR and TGA estimates for surface loading is reasonably good for cases where the functional group accounts for a relatively large fraction of the sample mass (e.g., large groups or high loading). In other cases TGA does not have sufficient sensitivity for quantitative analysis, particularly when contaminants contribute to the TGA mass loss. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and solid state NMR for selected samples provide support for the assignment of both the functional groups and some impurities. The level of surface group loading varies significantly with supplier and even for different batches or sizes of nanoparticles from the same supplier. These results highlight the importance of developing reliable methods to detect and quantify surface functional groups and the importance of a multi-method approach.

Abstract
It is demonstrated that ternary Cu-Fe-S nanocrystals differing in composition (from Cu-rich to Fe-rich), structure (chalcopyrite or high bornite) and size can be obtained from a mixture of CuCl, FeCl3, thiourea and oleic acid (OA) in oleylamine (OLA) using the heating up procedure. This new preparation method yields the smallest Cu-Fe-S nanocrystals ever reported to date (1.5 nm for the high bornite structure and 2.7 nm for the chalcopyrite structure). A comparative study of nanocrystals of the same composition (Cu1.6Fe1.0S2.0) but different in size (2.7 nm and 9.3 nm) revealed a pronounced quantum confinement effect, confirmed by three different techniques: UV-vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The optical band gap increased from 0.60 eV in the bulk material to 0.69 eV in the nanocrystals of 9.3 nm size and to 1.39 eV in nanocrystals of 2.7 nm size. The same trend was observed in the electrochemical band gaps, derived from cyclic voltammetry studies (band gaps of 0.74 eV and 1.54 eV). The quantum effect was also manifested in Mössbauer spectroscopy by an abrupt change in the spectrum from a quadrupole doublet to a Zeeman sextet below 10 K, which could be interpreted in terms of the well defined energy states in these nanoparticles, resulting from quantum confinement. The Mössbauer spectroscopic data confirmed, in addition to the results of XPS spectroscopy, the co-existence of Fe(iii) and Fe(ii) in the synthesized nanocrystals. The organic shell composition was investigated by NMR (after dissolution of the inorganic core) and IR spectroscopy. Both methods identified oleylamine (OLA) and 1-octadecene (ODE) as surfacial ligands, the latter being formed in situ via an elimination-hydrogenation reaction occurring between OLA and the nanocrystal surface.

Abstract
The capacity of fluorescent colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals for commercial application has led to the development of nanocrystals with nontoxic constituent elements as replacements for the currently available Cd- and Pb-containing systems. CuInS2 is a good candidate material because of its direct band gap in the near-infrared spectral region and large optical absorption coefficient. The ternary nature, flexible stoichiometry, and different crystal structures of CuInS2 lead to a range of optoelectronic properties, which have been challenging to elucidate. In this Perspective, the optoelectronic properties of CuInS2 nanocrystals are described and what is known of their origin is discussed. We begin with an overview of their synthesis, structure, and mechanism of formation. A complete discussion of the tunable luminescence properties and the radiative decay mechanism of this system is then presented. Finally, progress toward application of these "green" nanocrystals is summarized.
