Themed collection Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Environmental Science: Nano

Cu–cy/Ti₃C₂MXene demonstrated outstanding catalytic performance in activating peroxymonosulfate, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species that decomposed up to 98.6% of carbamazepine.

Ti- and Zn-containing nanoparticles from a mineral-based sunscreen are detected and classified against the natural particle background from river water using single-particle ICP-TOFMS and hierarchical clustering analysis.

Selenate removal from mine-influenced brine down to 20 μg L⁻¹ was demonstrated through continuous photocatalytic reduction using nano-TiO₂, highlighting UV reactor parameters and design considerations critical for practical real-world application.

Using potassium-based nanomaterials to save potassium resources and studying their effects and mechanisms on soybean growth.

Ruthenium species were confined within hollow carbon nitride spheres to efficiently activate peroxymonosulfate to produce reactive radicals and singlet oxygen for decomposing a pharmaceutical contaminant in wastewater, i.e., acetaminophen.

Better blocking performance of Fe⁰ nanoplates on non-essential Cd than essential Cu and Zn in the soil–rice system.

Extracellular polymeric substances from the diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana adsorb onto citrate-coated nAg, forming an eco-corona and reducing nanoparticle dissolution and aggregation.

CNT altered the multifunctionality of agrosystems through both bacterial and plant-based processes impairments.

A Janus graphene oxide filter with heterogeneous nanochannels exhibits a high interception rate and water flux towards dye removal.

A novel mechanism has been revealed by the study that the adsorption of VOC molecules on the surface of semiconductors formed midgap states between the ground state of the VOCs and the conduction band of the semiconductor.
