Abstract

A novel pyrene-functionalized silica material (PySiO₂) offers a highly effective solution for detecting and removing mercury ions (Hg²⁺) from water. This material exhibits excellent selectivity and sensitivity, achieving a remarkable 83% removal efficiency. The underlying mechanism involves a combination of charge-dipole and π-electron interactions, which facilitate the capture of Hg²⁺. Importantly, PySiO₂ can be reused, making it a promising and sustainable solution for water purification. More details can be found in article number e202401591 by Supavadee Kiatisevi and co-workers.

期刊介绍： Chemistry—An Asian Journal is an international high-impact journal for chemistry in its broadest sense. The journal covers all aspects of chemistry from biochemistry through organic and inorganic chemistry to physical chemistry, including interdisciplinary topics. Chemistry—An Asian Journal publishes Full Papers, Communications, and Focus Reviews. A professional editorial team headed by Dr. Theresa Kueckmann and an Editorial Board (headed by Professor Susumu Kitagawa) ensure the highest quality of the peer-review process, the contents and the production of the journal. Chemistry—An Asian Journal is published on behalf of the Asian Chemical Editorial Society (ACES), an association of numerous Asian chemical societies, and supported by the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh, German Chemical Society), ChemPubSoc Europe, and the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS).
