Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered as potential substitute in large-scale energy storage systems due to the abundant natural resources and low price of sodium, and environmental friendliness. However, commercial graphite anode in lithium-ion batteries cannot be directly applied to SIBs. Bimetallic selenides stand out among the many anode materials owing to their rich redox chemistry and superior conductivities. Here, a bimetallic selenide Cu 3 VSe 4 is successfully prepared via one-pot reaction in oil phase, and its energy storage performance for SIBs is investigated. It delivers an impressive capacity, excellent rate performance (298 mAh g −1 at 10 A g −1 ), and outstanding long-term cycling life (305 mAh g −1 over 1000 cycles at 2.0 A g −1 ). In addition, the Na + storage mechanism (including intercalation and conversion reactions) is revealed. This work provides a new way for the application of the Cu 3 VSe 4 in SIBs. Graphical abstract A bimetallic selenide Cu 3 VSe 4 is successfully prepared via one-pot reaction in oil phase. When it is evaluated as the anode for sodium-ion batteries, the Cu 3 VSe 4 displays an impressive capacity, excellent rate performance, and outstanding long-term cycling life. In addition, the Na + storage mechanism (including intercalation and conversion reactions) is revealed.

As a safe and environmentally friendly selective hydrogenation method, catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) has aroused great interest in preparation of high-value-added products from biomass derived resources. Herein, a Cu-based catalyst (Cu/CuAl-MMO-400) was prepared by structural topological transformation of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) precursor, which displayed promising catalytic behavior toward CTH reaction of furfural (FAL) with 2-propanol (2-POL) as the hydrogen donor. Notably, the reaction rate is as high as 0.125 mol g −1 h −1 , which is superior to previously reported non-noble metal catalysts. A combination investigation based on XPS, XANES and Bader charge confirms the co-existence of Cu 0 and Cu + sites on the surface of Cu nanoparticles . Both experimental studies ( in situ DRIFTS and isotope labelling MS) and DFT calculations reveal that the Cu 0 − Cu + synergistic effect plays a vital role in determining catalytic behavior: the Cu + species acts as both dehydrogenation and hydrogenation active site; while the Cu 0 site promotes the transfer of H atoms between adsorbed substrates. This work substantiates a Cu 0 −Cu + synergetic catalysis by establishing structure-property correlation and revealing reaction pathway, which could be extended to other CTH reactions in the upgrading processes of biomass.

A dual-emission fluorescent (FL) probe was constructed by coordinating Cu 2+ of copper metal–organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) with − COO − group of carbon dots (CDs) for pesticide thiophanate-methyl (TM) determination. TM was recognized by organic ligands (H 2 BDC and H 2 BDC-NH 2 ) of Cu-MOFs via π stacking. Due to the higher affinity of Cu 2+ to TM than ligands and CDs, TM chelated with Cu 2+ to form TM-Cu complex. Thus coordination of Cu-MOFs was damaged and the ligands were released resulting in the FL intensity increase of Cu-MOFs (F 430 ). And also CDs were released from CDs@Cu-MOFs hybrids and electron transfer from CDs to CuMOFs was inhibited, leading to the FL intensity increase of CDs (F 600 ). The FL intensity ratio (F 430 /F 600 ) showed a good linear relationship with TM concentrations of 0.0307–0.769 μmol L −1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of ~ 3.67 nmol L −1 . The probe was successfully applied to detect TM in spiked food samples with satisfactory recoveries of 93.1–113%. Additionally, visual detection of TM was achieved according to the fluorescence color variation from blue to carmine, indicating promising application of CDs@Cu-MOFs probe. Graphical abstract

Photocatalytic process using core–shell nano-catalyst is an efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective process for removal or minimize hazard of pollutants in waste water. Herein, a recyclable and robust Cu 2 O/Fe 3 O 4 @C/Cu core–shell nanocomposite with photocatalyst activities is designed based on the synergistic photocatalytic activities of Cu 2 O and Cu and the magnetic property and stability of Fe 3 O 4 @C. The Cu 2 O/Fe 3 O 4 @C/Cu is shown to act as nano-catalyst to almost completely convert 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) within 3 min by sufficient electrons in the electron-rich region formed under ultraviolet light irradiation. The Cu 2 O/Fe 3 O 4 @C/Cu nanocomposite shows a good stability, reusability and magnetic separation ability after five recycles. In addition, a photocatalytic mechanism of 4-NP reduction over this nanocomposite is proposed, and the roles of each nanocomponent of this nanostructure played in the synergistic enhancing photocatalytic performance via cascade reaction is demonstrated. This work suggests that Cu 2 O/Fe 3 O 4 @C/Cu nanocomposite with high activity, good stability and magnetically recyclability could be applied for the elimination of pollutants in wastewater.

Ammonia is a very promising source of carbon-free chemical energy. However, current electrochemical technologies for ammonia use are limited by the kinetically sluggish and easily toxic catalyst surface ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR). Here, we report an AOR catalyst in which Ni, Cu, and Co are highly dispersed on single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (Ni–Cu–Co/CNT) in the form of hydroxides and hydroxyl oxides by using a one-step solvothermal method. Ni–Cu–Co/CNT, with Co doping and a support of the CNT, has shown highly efficient catalytic activity for the AOR in alkaline media. Cyclic voltammetry tests show that the catalyst has an onset potential of 0.3 V vs Ag/AgCl and a peak current of 96 mA cm–2. Density functional theory suggests that the addition of Co and a CNT leads to a lower energy barrier for the critical AOR step, which can be attributed to intermetallic synergy and metal–support interactions formed by the CNT.

Rice hull biochar modified by ZnS nanocrystals (RBZ) was developed as an efficient absorbent for the removal of Cu(II) in aqueous solution. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied for modeling and optimizing the performance of RBZ. The maximum adsorption capacity of RBZ toward Cu(II) through the Langmuir model fitting was 248.98 mg g−1, which was four times larger than that of rice hull biochar (RB). The adsorption kinetics of Cu(II) and XPS analysis revealed that the chemisorption process played the leading role when using RBZ. Through competition ions study, Pb(II), Cd(II), or Ca(II) can slightly reduce the adsorption of Cu(II). According to the Box Behnken design method, the analysis of variance results showed that the pH and adsorbent dosage had significant effects on the predicted responses of adsorption capacity and removal efficiency. When using the optimum conditions, pH 6, temperature 27 °C, and dosage 0.20 mg mL−1 for removing Cu(II) in solution, the maximum adsorption capacity and relatively higher removal efficiency could be obtained through the 3D response surface plots. The results demonstrated that RSM is feasible to achieve optimal conditions for adsorption capacity and removal efficiency simultaneously toward heavy metals from aqueous medium, and the interaction between them when using the biochar/ZnS composite.

Transition metal oxalates have attracted people's attention owing to their low cost, low lithium insertion potential and high theoretical reversible capacities. Disappointingly, high irreversible capacity thanks to the formation of SEI as well as the consumption and exfoliation of active materials during the process of cycling severely restrict its application of it. In this work, a comprehensive evaluation of Co, Ni, Cu and Zn doped manganese oxalate was made. All samples are synthesized via facile and time-saving microwave hydrothermal method . It is intriguing that merely 30 min is required to accomplish the entire process and all samples possess fine electrochemical performance. As far as the four bimetallic oxalates, the resulting Mn 0·5 Ni 0·5 C 2 O 4 exhibits the optimum performance (746.2 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 A g −1 and 546.7 mA h g −1 at 1 A g −1 after 400 cycles), which can be attributed to one-dimensional rod-like morphology of Mn 0·5 Ni 0·5 C 2 O 4 as well as the synergistic and catalytic effect of Mn and Ni, resulting in faster electrode kinetics . Mn 0.5 Ni 0.5 C 2 O 4 displays incalculable potential and can be applied in the highly reversible lithium-ion batteries.

Cellulose-based aerogels have considerable potential for various application due to renewable, low cost, and high availability. However, mechanical robustness and functionalization remain major challenges. Here, we synthesized a compressible, recoverable cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/branched polyethyleneimine (BPEI) aerogel via electrostatic-modulated interfacial covalent crosslinking and freeze-drying process. The porous BPEI@CNF/CMC aerogel possessed excellent mechanical compression and high-density metal-chelating groups, which exhibited fast adsorption kinetics and high adsorption capacity (452.49 mg g −1 ) in static copper adsorption process. Furthermore, BPEI@CNF/CMC aerogels displayed excellent recyclability and could still reach 85% after 10 cycles. The integrated analyses of ATR-FTIR and XPS suggested that the predominant adsorption mechanism included electrostatic interaction, ion-exchange and chelation. This strategy provides a sustainable route to fabricate efficient biomass-based adsorbents for selective copper removal from water.

A proof-of-principle concept for free-electrodeposited anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) sensing of Cu 2+ is proposed by using Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/carbon black (Ti 3 C 2 T x @CB) nanohybrids as electrode materials. Owing to the high adsorption and reduction capability of Ti 3 C 2 T x towards Cu 2+ , Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene enables Cu 2+ to be immobilized and self-reduced directly to form Cu 0 on the Ti 3 C 2 T x @CB electrode surface. As a result an oxidation peak current appears from the re-oxidation of Cu 0 via differential pulse voltammetry. Carbon black (CB) was introduced to prevent Ti 3 C 2 T x Mxene aggregation and improve the related electron transfer as well as enhance their surface area. After optimizing various conditions, a considerable low limit of detection (4.6 nM) and a wide linear range (0.01–15.0 μM) for Cu 2+ were achieved at the working potential from − 0.3 V to 0.0 V (vs SCE). Relative standard deviation (RSD) of eight individual Ti 3 C 2 T x @CB electrodes is 3.72%, and the recoveries from tap water sample and lake water sample were in the ranges of 97.0–108% and 104–107%, respectively.

Developing a novel antibacterial material with highly effective and long-lasting antibacterial activity to prevent bacterial infection during or post bone scaffold transplantation is an urgent need for bone regeneration. In this study, a synergistic antibacterial system for a polyglycolic acid (PGA) scaffold was constructed by cation exchange of montmorillonite (MMT) with Cu2+ and then intercalation of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) into the interlayer of MMT. On one hand, the introduced Cu2+ enlarged the interlayer spacing of MMT, facilitating the intercalation of CTAB into the MMT interlayer to impart the antibacterial effect. On the other hand, the intercalation of CTAB into MMT shifted the surface potential of MMT from negative to positive, improving the bacterial adsorption capacity by electrostatic forces so that Cu2+ could act directly on the negatively charged bacteria. As a result, the bacterial adsorption rate of Cu2+ and CTAB modified MMT (Cu-CMMT) improved by 76.5% compared with that of MMT, which could be explained by the increased zeta potential from −26.1 to 19.7 mV. Besides, the scaffold with Cu-CMMT exhibited robust antibacterial activities against E. coli with an antibacterial rate of 98.1%, which was significantly higher than that of the scaffold with Cu2+ or CTAB modified MMT individually. The scaffold with Cu-CMMT exhibited the highest level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which was attributed to the dilapidation of bacterial cells.

Enhanced photocatalytic performance and excellent stability are usually regarded contradictory during photocatalytic reaction. In this study, supercycle ALD was employed to achieve superior performance and stability simultaneously for the system of TiO 2 @Cu during CO 2 reduction reaction, which was unattainable by post-deposition TiO 2 , a commonly-employed technique for enhancing stability. More oxygen vacancy, partially-covered Cu species as well as well-maintained charge separation capability of alternatively-deposited TiO 2 @(2Cu + 2TiO 2 ) × 25 could be the reason for enhanced activity and stability as suggested by a series of characterizations such as Single-particle TRPL and Single-particle PL. Experimental data also suggested unselective and mixed-layer deposition of TiO 2 and Cu loaded in the mode of alternative-deposition. The method proved in our study could be applicable in synthesizing other ALD-prepared catalysts with enhanced performance and stability, which will be a big step forward towards comprehensively utilizing the potential of ALD technique in the field of photocatalysis.
