Conventional metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors often suffer from high operating temperatures, low selectivity, and complex synthesis processes for NO2 detection. In this work, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets are coated on NaOH-etched Cu2O/CuO urchin-like spheres to form Cu2O/CuO@rGO composites via a one-step green synthesis method at room temperature (RT). The gas sensor based on this material has been utilized for detecting NO2 at RT (25 °C), and the effects of Cu2O addition and reaction time on the morphology as well as gas-sensing properties of the as-prepared sensor are investigated. Of interest, the sensor based on the 550Cu2O/CuO@rGO-5 composite has an ultra-high response (S = 871) to 5 ppm NO2 gas at RT with a response/recovery time of 32/73 s, and the detection limit is as low as 90.6 ppt. In addition, the gas sensor shows excellent selectivity and repeatability. The excellent sensing performance of the as-prepared 550Cu2O/CuO@rGO sensor is attributed to the framework structure of Cu2O/CuO@rGO, the urchin-like hierarchical structure of the Cu2O/CuO and the synergistic effect of the p–p (Cu2O–CuO) heterojunction. This exploration of the present work offers a good reference for mass, green, and low-power sensing material preparation.

Phytophthora sojae is an oomycete pathogen that causes significant agricultural losses worldwide, mainly the soybean damping-off and root/stem rot. To counter this, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites (CuO-rGO) have been proposed as a potential solution in nano-agriculture. In this study, we aimed to investigate the inhibitory mechanisms of CuO-rGO, CuO NPs, and CuCl2 on P. sojae through phenotypic and transcriptomic analysis. Even a low concentration of 10 mg Cu2+ L−1, CuO-rGO, CuO NPs, and CuCl2 exhibited remarkable inhibitory effects on the pathogen. This was due to the capacity of these three forms of Cu to induce oxidative stress, which caused disruptions in the mycelial cell membrane, intracellular structure, carbon metabolism, organic acid metabolic processes, and amino acid metabolism. Among them, CuO-rGO showed a better slow-release effect and long-lasting antimicrobial properties, making it more suitable for practical agricultural use. Furthermore, the transcriptomic analysis revealed distinct patterns of antioxidant enzyme-related genes among treatments. Compared to the other two treatments, the CuO-rGO treatment showed higher expression of differential expression genes (DEGs) associated with superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxiredoxin (PRDX). The CuO NPs treatment had the most significant expression of DEGs related to catalase (CAT), while the DEGs linked to glutathione peroxidase (GPX) were significantly expressed in the CuCl2 and CuO-rGO treatments. These findings suggest that CuO-rGO has great potential as a practical agricultural agent against oomycete pathogens. Further investigations are essential to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the oxidative stress and antioxidant systems induced by different copper forms in the future.

Monitoring and reducing NO 2 pollution at room temperature is indispensable for human survival. Thus, we propose a light-activated route (UV light, 100 mW/cm 2 ) to realize a high-performance NO 2 detection based on CuO/rGO gas sensor. The CuO/rGO sensor under UV light illumination exhibits a high response of 22.18–100 ppm NO 2 at 23 ℃, which is approximately 1.36 times of the CuO/rGO sensor and 2.31 times of the CuO sensor under dark, respectively. Meanwhile, under UV light illumination, the CuO/rGO sensor has a fast response/recovery speed of 10.9/30.9 s to 20 ppm NO 2 at 23 ℃, which is obviously better than that under dark. Moreover, the light-activated CuO/rGO sensor has excellent repeatability, selectivity, ultra-low detection limit (50 ppb) and long-term stability. The significantly appealing gas-sensing performance of CuO/rGO sensor is mainly ascribed to the mesoporous structure, high specific surface area and plentiful oxygen vacancy of CuO/rGO nanocomposites . More attractively, the photo-generated carriers and formed heterojunction also greatly improve the carrier migration in the context of the NO 2 /CuO/rGO interaction, enhancing the gas-sensing performance of gas sensor. Our work will provide insight in utilizing light illumination to realize ultrasensitive and room-temperature detection of ppb-level NO 2 gas.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanocomposites, based on graphene and transition metal oxides , hold great promise as high-performance electrode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. Herein, a novel 2D CuO/RGO has been constructed by CuO ultrathin nanosheets and reduced graphene oxides (RGO) through in-situ oxidizing the Cu/RGO nanocomposite with hydrogen peroxide. CuO nanosheets with a thickness of 1.17–1.57 nm are uniformly and tightly anchored on the RGO surface without aggregation and thus the as-prepared CuO/RGO nanosheets electrode show strong interfacial coupling and fast electron transfer . Electrochemical characterizations reveal that the CuO/RGO nanocomposite electrode exhibits a remarkably enhanced cycling performance and rate performance. At the current density of 0.1C, the initial discharge capacity of 811 mAh/g has been delivered by CuO/RGO nanosheets electrode and the coulombic efficiency maintains 99.44% after 100 cycles. Moreover, the CuO/RGO nanosheets exhibit a stable specific capacity of 386 mAh/g after 200 cycles at 3C. In addition, the as-prepared CuO/RGO nanocomposite electrode exhibited excellent rate performance and lower charge transfer resistance. The current study presents a feasible route to fabricate nanosheets electrode materials for next-generation energy storage devices.

Ternary copper oxides/reduced graphene oxide (Cu 2 O-CuO-RGO) composites were successfully synthesized in situ by a self-assembly solvothermal method in a water-ethanol mixture and used directly as the anode material for lithium ion batteries . The Cu 2 O-CuO-RGO composites delivered a reversible capacity of 842.5 mAh g −1 after 80 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g −1 , and after every 10 cycles at current densities of 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 and 100 mA g −1 , respectively, the specific capacities of the composites were approximately 840, 723, 511, 402, 336, 224, and 703 mAh g −1 , respectively. The improved electrochemical performance of the composites is closely related to its sandwich structure, with multicomponent Cu 2 O-CuO nanospheres adhering tightly to both sides of RGO nanosheets . This structure could shorten the transport pathways for both electrons and lithium ions , prevent the RGO nanosheets from stacking, enhance the electrical conductivity and accommodate the volume expansion that occurs during prolonged cycling.

This study featured about the synthesis of graphene oxide hydrogel-CuO@reduced graphene oxide (rGH-CuO@rGO) micromotors with core-shell structure via an ultrasonication-assisted chemical precipitation method and their application for catalytic dye degradation. The micromotors were comprehensively characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), spectroscopic techniques (Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman), surface area measurement (BET), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to determine their microstructure, composition, and chemical states. Degradation performance for methylene blue (MB) was evaluated under varying conditions: reaction time (0–120 min), peroxymonosulfate (PMS) concentration (0–5 g·L −1 ), pH (3–8), quantity of micromotors (12–24), and MB concentration (5–100 mg·L −1 ). The removal rate of MB was achieved over 90 % within 120 min at pH 8. The micromotors demonstrated excellent catalytic efficiency, reusability and stability over four cycles. In the dual oxidant system (H₂O₂/PMS) the micromotors exhibited effective self-propulsion and stable MB removal. The generation of hydroxyl (•OH) and sulfate (•SO₄ − ) free radicals in the system was confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer (EPR). Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF/MS) was used to identify the degradation intermediates, and the possible MB degradation pathways were proposed. Moreover, the micromotors showed satisfactory performance in removing mixed dye wastewater and phenolic compound. Additionally, the low ecotoxicity of the micromotors was demonstrated by cytotoxicity assessment. This study provided a novel and valuable route to synthesizing self-driving micromotors with potential extensive applications in environmental remediation.

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SDIE) holds immense potential for sustainable desalination, yet current solar evaporators remain severely obstructed by the limited evaporation efficiency, inherent mechanical fragility and the complex fabrication of robust photothermal layers. Herein, we propose a “waste-to-wealth” structural engineering and in situ interfacial coupling strategy to develop a highly robust, 3D evaporator (CuO/rGO/PVA/SA-CF). By utilizing recycled waste carbon fiber needle-punched felt as a rigid skeletal constraint for a hydrogel-derived porous matrix, the device achieves an exceptional loading stress of 54.61 MPa at 3% strain, fundamentally resolving the issue of structural deterioration under demanding operational conditions. Furthermore, a highly efficient, single-step vacuum-assisted thermal process was designed to drive a synchronous transformation: the in-situ oxidation of copper alongside the reduction of graphene oxide (GO). This simultaneous oxidation-reduction mechanism yields a highly coupled photothermal architecture, delivering broadband solar absorbance of 95% and effectively reducing the equivalent evaporation enthalpy to 1587.02 kJ kg −1 . Under 1 sun illumination (1 kW m −2 ), the evaporator exhibits a high evaporation rate of 2.142 kg m −2 h −1 with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 91.8%. Furthermore, the device maintains a stable evaporation rate of 1.753 kg m −2 h −1 even in high-salinity brine (20 wt%), demonstrating outstanding salt-rejection performance. This work establishes a scalable, mechanically durable, and eco-friendly paradigm for next-generation solar desalination systems.
