Therefore, efficient strategies are urgently needed to mitigate the uptake and accumulation of lithium in plant fruits. Nanotechnology offers promising avenues for enhancing stress resilience and improving the quality of crops grown in contaminated soils. Here, we found that lithium was distributed unevenly among tissues (leaves: 1365, roots: 508, stems: 112, and fruits: 24 mg kg–1) of eggplants grown in lithium-contaminated soil. Notably, foliar spraying of selenium nanoparticles with levorotatory chirality (l-SeNPs) effectively reduced fruit lithium content and promoted its accumulation in the leaves, roots, and stems, in which vacuolar compartmentalization was the primary pathway for tolerance to high lithium content, whereas the dextrorotatory enantiomer showed no such effects. Mechanism investigation elucidated that l-SeNPs can reinforce antioxidant defense systems of eggplant under lithium stress through a microbiome–metabolome–transcriptome bridging cascade, in which l-SeNPs substantially affected rhizosphere bacterial and metabolic networks along with minor changes in the bioavailability of lithium in rhizosphere soil. This study sheds light on the superiority of nanoscale chirality in modulating lithium uptake and accumulation in plants grown in metal-contaminated soil, providing strategies for agromining of lithium.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149221688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using more than 20model compounds representing common CDOM chromophores, we demonstratethat carboxylation enhances triplet quantum yields (Φ) by 1.1–69-foldrelative to their parent compounds. Consistently, Φ values ofCDOM isolates positively correlate with their carboxyl content. Theoreticalcalculations reveal that carboxylation shifts the lowest excited statefrom locally excited π–π* character toward mixedn−π*/charge-transfer states and increases spin–orbitcoupling, thereby promoting intersystem crossing and triplet formation.Building on these insights, we developed quantitative models thatpredict Φ using thermodynamic and electronic descriptors andestablished empirical relationships between Φ and bulk CDOMproperties, including molecular weight and total antioxidant capacity.Furthermore, solar irradiation of humic acid induced decarboxylationaccompanied by a decline in Φ, whereas carboxyl introductionenhanced the overall photochemical reactivity of CDOM toward organiccontaminant degradation.

This study demonstrates that alkali (OH–), as an inexpensive and environmentally friendly chemical, acts as an efficient promoter for copper sulfide (CuS) by inducing polarization of the disulfide bonds in CuS. OH– substantially enhanced the generation of hydroxyl and sulfate radicals in the CuS/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) system, achieving a >100-fold increase in the apparent degradation rate of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). With OH– assistance, a CuS-packed continuous-flow reactor demonstrated long-term stability (≥800 h), sustaining >95% SMX removal, <1% residual PMS, <0.03 mg/L Cu2+ leaching. Final effluent pH remained stable at 6–9, meeting all applicable discharge standards. Furthermore, the OH–/CuS/PMS system significantly reduced the toxicity of actual wastewater. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the interaction between OH– and disulfide bonds in CuS enhanced the electron spin density and improved the 3d orbital energy level of CuS, promoting electron transfer from CuS to PMS. This work presents a cost-effective Fenton-like system that achieves robust pollutant degradation while ensuring exceptionally low metal dissolution and a consistently discharge-compliant effluent pH (6–9), collectively underscoring its viability for sustainable wastewater remediation.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149221690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
