Development of highly active and stable catalysts is critical for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. Herein, a Cu-based catalyst was demonstrated by impregnating 20%ZnO onto the Cu–Al spinel followed by reduction. The catalyst delivers a methanol yield of 0.218 g g−1 h−1 with a CO2 conversion of 9.2% at 220 °C, 3 MPa, 6000 mL g−1 h−1, and is stable over a 300 h test. Various characterization techniques reveal that ZnO inhibits the growth of Cu nanoparticles during exsolution. Furthermore, there is strong electronic interaction between the components, i.e., the electron migrates from ZnO to the Cu–Al spinel, which leads to more oxygen vacancies and an electron-rich support and thus beneficial for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol.

Metal organic complexes are regarded as a series of promising combustion catalysts for solid rocket propellants. Their effects on the combustion performance of propellants are closely related to the reaction mechanism. Here, the metal–organic complex Cu(Salen) was investigated as a candidate material for the combustion catalyst of the HMX-added composite modified double-base propellant (HMX-CMDB). The combustion performance of the propellant was found to be evidently enhanced in the presence of Cu(Salen) compared with the propellant samples containing Benzoic-Cu or without catalyst. The addition of Cu(Salen) can improve the burning rate and combustion efficiency of the propellant – and greatly reduce the burning rate pressure index. Analysis shows that the addition of Cu(Salen) can increase the combustion area, flame brightness and combustion surface uniformity of the propellant to a higher degree. The sample can spray more beams of bright filaments on the flat combustion section, and the amount of gas generated by decomposition also greatly increases. In addition, Cu(Salen) shows amazing advantages in improving the surface of the propellant and the temperature gradient of the combustion flame.

Adsorptive desulfurization (ADS) is an effective method for the selective capture of thiophenic sulfur compounds , and the ADS capacity of an adsorbent has been demonstrated to strongly depend on the dispersion degree of active species. Herein, series of zirconia-modified SBA-15 (ZrSBA-15) framework with uniformly dispersed Cu sites have been prepared via a urea-assisted homogeneous deposition strategy, aiming for efficient adsorption towards thiophene . The resultant materials were thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) analysis techniques. It was revealed that the Cu species were highly dispersed inside the ordered ZrSBA-15 framework with platelet morphology, rather than aggregation outside the surface, leading to excellent adsorption capacity for thiophene (up to 9.35 mg/g at 50 °C). The adsorption kinetics and isotherm data can be well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm, respectively. Spent adsorbent can be regenerated by simple heating treatment in N 2 at 500 °C, without obvious losing of thiophene adsorption capacity even after eight cycles.

Traditional powder catalysts are not suitable for industrial applications due to low utilization of active phase and easy sintering. Therefore, monolithic catalyst MCCF with good stability and water-resistance was designed for the catalytic oxidation of toluene-acetone mixture, in which amorphous MnO x derived via pyrolysis of Mn-MOFs loaded on copper foam (CF) and different transition layers were employed between MnO x and CF to regulate Cu-Mn interaction. The combined action of amorphous MnO x and the Cu-Mn strong interaction enhanced the catalytic degradation of toluene-acetone mixture. The existence of amorphous MnO x and the impacts of Cu-Mn interaction on weakening Mn-O bonds and stimulating reactive oxygen species were verified by various characterizations. Furthermore, the reaction pathways of toluene and acetone on catalyst MCCF were revealed as well as their interactions within the mixture.

Introduction: The procedural complexity and time-consuming of conventional pesticide residue detection methods in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) significantly impeded their application in modern systems. To address this, this study presented an innovative dual-mode sensor driven by Cu2+/Cu+ redox-cycling, which achieved efficient signal transduction from enzyme inhibition to optical response for rapid acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and organophosphorus pesticide (OP) residue detection.Methods: The AB-Cu NPs sensor, a dynamic redox-responsive system, was constructed via coordination-driven assembly of Azo-Bodipy 685 (AB 685) and Cu2+. Initially, Cu2+ quenched the optical signals of AB 685 through photoinduced electron transfer (PET), maintaining an “OFF” state. Upon AChE-catalyzed hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine chloride (ATChCl) to thiocholine (TCh), Cu2+ was reduced to Cu+, thereby activating dual ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis)/fluorescence (FL) signals (“ON” state). OP residues were quantified by their inhibition of AChE, which blocked Cu2+/Cu+ conversion and suppressed signal generation.Results: The sensor exhibited positive sensitivity with detection limits of 0.0327 U/L for AChE activity and 1.72 ng/mL for triazophos, leveraging Cu2+/Cu+ redox-cycling for signal amplification. Notably, the Cu2+/Cu+ valence interconversion coupled enzyme inhibition with probe responsiveness, ensuring the both procedural easily and rapid response.Discussion: This study developed a portable detection platform based on valence interconversion coupled enzyme inhibition with probe responsiveness. The dual-signal output enhanced reliability and the redox-driven mechanism enabled signal amplification. This advancement provided a real-time, portable and rapid detection for AChE activity and pesticide exposure of TCMs, bridging gaps in agricultural safety and pharmaceutical standardization.

In this study, the fluorescence enhancement effect of guanine base on DNA-Cu/AgNCs was reported and fluorescent methods for the determination of Hg 2+ or Cu 2+ ion were established. The effect of adjacent and inserted guanine base (G) sequences in DNA template on the fluorescence intensity of DNA-Cu/AgNCs was investigated. It was found that G 5 sequence extended from the 5′ end of a typical C-riched DNA strand, 5′-CCCTTAATCCCC-3′ (DNA1), demonstrated fluorescence enhancement effect in the preparation of the DNA-Cu/AgNCs. Moreover, this G5-DNA-Cu/AgNCs can be used to determine Hg 2+ and Cu 2+ ions due to fluorescence quenching by the two metal ions while the DNA1-Cu/AgNCs only can determine Hg 2+ ions. Specific assays for Hg 2+ ions and Cu 2+ ions were established through masking Cu 2+ ions by EDTA and Hg 2+ ions by NaBH 4 , respectively. In Hg 2+ determination, a linear range from 5.0 nM to 40 nM was obtained with a detection limit of 1.0 nM. In Cu 2+ determination, a wide linear range from 0.01 µM to 5.0 µM was obtained with a detection limit of 5.0 nM. The recoveries of 89.6–106.8% for Cu 2+ ions and 90.6–106.2% for Hg 2+ ions were obtained in the measurements of Hg 2+ and Cu 2+ ions spiked lake samples, respectively. The results indicate the potential application of the DNA-Cu/AgNCs as a metal ions probes in real samples.

This study applied a mineral material of FeS to activate sulfite for efficient degradation of TTC in the presence of Cu(II) based on the identified complexation mechanism through UV–Vis spectra, FTIR spectroscopy and DFT calculation . pH plays an important role in TTC degradation and the initial pH of 6 and 7 were the divide in the contributions of FeS/sulfite oxidation and complex-precipitation. TTC-Cu(II) exhibits a superior promoting effect on the TTC degradation in FeS/sulfite system due to the improvement of TTC electron transfer reactivity and Fe(II) dissolution from FeS. Moreover, the formation of Cu(I) improved the recycling of Fe(II) from Fe(III). Dissolved oxygen-dependent free radicals’ generation was confirmed, and TTC degradation was mainly attributed to SO 4 ·− and ·OH. The characterization of FeS surface through XPS, XRD , SEM-EDS, Fe(II) deactivation tests, together with the comparison of pseudo-first-order rate constants for TTC degradation by FeS and ferrous ion supported the important role of surface and dissolved Fe(II) in sulfite activation . Furthermore, reasonable degradation pathways of TTC have been proposed according to the detected products by LC-MS. This work highlights the important role of pH, DO and Cu(II) complexation in sulfite activation and TTC degradation, furnishing theoretical support for further relevant studies.

Integrating energetic materials into microelectromechanical system (MEMS) to enhance their energy output characteristics has shown extensive potential across aerospace, defense, and civilian applications. Within this study, the MEMS compatible Cu/DNBT (DNBT = [5,5′-dinitro-3,3′-bi(1,2,4-triazole)]) and Cu/DNBT@nano-Al energetic films were successfully synthesized on the copper substrate using an electrochemical method and a drip coating method. The scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential thermal analyses (DTA), and a pulse laser ignition test were used to analyze the morphology, composition, thermal performance, and ignition properties of the prepared samples. The findings indicate that the prepared Cu/DNBT and Cu/DNBT@nano-Al energetic films exhibit a nanostructure, and their morphology can be effectively regulated via modifications to the deposition voltage, deposition time, and aluminum plating frequency. Furthermore, the energetic properties of Cu/DNBT@nano-Al films can be adjusted after the deposition of nano-Al. Their heat release, flame height and ignition duration can reach up to 1823.1 J·g–1, 13.5 mm, and 400 μs, respectively. These findings suggest that Cu/DNBT@nano-Al energetic films being a prime contender for initiating powders in MEMS pyrotechnics. In summary, this work offers valuable insights into the integration and application of energetic materials in MEMS ignition devices.

Environmental benign non-noble NiCu catalysts with well-distributed homogeneous nanoalloy structure was fabricated from layered double hydroxide for semi-hydrogenation of acetylene. Compared with monometallic Ni catalyst, the introduction of Cu enhanced ethene selectivity and decreased the deactivation rate in long-term reaction. Furthermore, to give a thorough understanding on structure dependent performance, conventional impregnation was also used to obtain bimetallic NiCu catalyst for comparison. Interestingly, imp-NiCu/MMO presented the mixture of monometallic Ni, Cu and bimetallic NiCu. Catalytic results indicated that 100% conversion was achieved at 160 °C with improved selectivity (>70%) over NiCu nanoalloy catalyst, while bimetallic NiCu catalyst with mixed structure showed both poor conversion (50%) and selectivity (65%). Enhanced activity was attributed to small particle size (3.2 nm) and high metal dispersion (31.4%). Improved selectivity and anti-coking ability were related to the alloying of Ni with Cu, which was conducive to isolate Ni atoms from one another confirmed by STEM-EDX and transfer electron from Cu to Ni certified by XPS. Additionally, superior performance was also found in semi-hydrogenations of hexyne, phenylacetylene, 1,2-diphenylethyne and ethyl phenylpropiolate over NiCu nanoalloy.

Cu 2 O/MIL(Fe/Cu) composite was fabricated via an in-situ Cu-bridging strategy to enhance interfacial synergistic effect of photo-Fenton catalysis for thiacloprid (TCL) degradation. Characterization results showed that: (1) Cu 2 O was proved to grow on the surface of MIL(Fe/Cu) in Cu 2 O/MIL(Fe/Cu) composite and display a high BET surface area of 1553 m 2 /g; (2) Cu 2 O/MIL(Fe/Cu) reduced band gap from 2.5 to 1.3 eV and extended absorption from UV to visible region; (3) Cu-bridge was proved to promote the intimate interface between Cu 2 O and MIL(Fe/Cu), which accelerated charge transferred and shortened the binding gap and the reaction pathway from photo-induced electrons to Fenton-generated radicals. As a result, this boosted the redox reaction of Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ and promoted the reversible degree of this catalytic redox ability of MIL(Fe). Catalytic performance exhibited that (1) Cu 2 O/MIL(Fe/Cu) showed a fast kinetics (2–40 times faster than the state-of-the-art catalysts) and ultra-high mineralization (82.3% within 80 min) for TCL degradation; (2) Cu 2 O/MIL(Fe/Cu) showed a promising cycling stability due to improved charge transfer ability that could protect Cu 2 O from photo-corrosion during photo-Fenton reaction; (3) The catalytic performance of Cu 2 O/MIL(Fe/Cu) was characterized and seven photocatalytic intermediates were identified by both HPLC/MS and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy. The cyanoimino group in TCL was proved for the first time to be attacked primarily. Moreover, among all the detected intermediates, thiazolidin-2-amine (P6) was found to be the most stable intermediate to be degraded, and it can directly influence the TOC determination during photodegradation process.

Tunable electronic properties of supported Cu/CeO2 catalysts are critical for improving the active site activity in catalysis. In this contribution, we propose a surface engineering protocol that utilizes unique ascorbic acid (AA) properties to generate surface defects and modify the electronic properties of Cu–Ce catalysts. This approach relies on forming abundant (Ce3+-Ov) defective sites on the CeO2 surface synthesized with a Ce-benzene-tricarboxylate metal–organic framework (MOF) as a precursor through AA adsorption. Subsequently, Cu sites can be effectively anchored onto the generated Ce3+-Ov, exhibiting excellent electronic transfer between (Ce3+-Ov/Ce4+ ↔ Cu2+/Cu+) CuCe, resulting in highly active Cu+ with well-balanced Ce3+-Ov defects. A high fraction of Cu+ with Ce3+-Ov was dedicated to the presence of AA. The resultant Cu/AA-MOF-CeO2 catalyst demonstrated outstanding performance toward CO oxidation (90–95 °C), being far superior to that of the conventionally prepared Cu/MOF-CeO2 catalyst (110–115 °C). In-depth characterizations confirmed that the remarkable performance was considerably related to the enhanced Cu–Ce interaction, enriched Cu+ active sites, and balanced Ce3+-Ov defects. This work highlights the potential of the Cu/AA-MOF-CeO2 catalyst as a sustainable solution for low-temperature catalytic CO oxidation reaction.
