The removal of urea poses a significant challenge in reclaiming waste dialysate, especially for portable dialysis. Here, we developed a novel Cu (II)-phenolic complex incorporated hemodialysis membrane through an adsorption-diffusion mechanism for efficient urea removal. The synergistic effect between the hemodialysis membrane and the adsorbent composed of tannic acid (TA), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and Fe (II)/Cu (II) bimetal ions exhibited enhanced coordination towards amine groups present in urea, resulting in rapid adsorption kinetics and high adsorption capacity via chemical interactions. Additionally, uniformly distributed Cu (II) sites on the membrane surface promoted the hemocompatibility by converting S-nitrosothiol to nitric oxide (NO), thereby inhibiting platelet activation. In simulated hemodialysis experiments, our adsorptive-diffusive membrane demonstrated high removal efficiency (∼90 %) for urea using 1 L dialysate compared to ∼10 % of pristine membrane. The incorporation of Cu (II)-phenolic complex into the hemodialysis membrane presents a novel approach for enhancing urea removal, thereby reducing dialysate consumption and simultaneously improving the hemocompatibility of the membrane.

Aqueous-phase reforming of methanol (APRM) stands out as a viable approach for providing hydrogen to polymer electrolyte fuel cells, offering advantages over traditional gas-phase methodologies conducted at relatively high temperatures. Nevertheless, the development of an effective and hydrothermally stable non-noble-metal catalyst remains a formidable challenge. This paper presents a series of resilient and efficient Cu/CuOx/C catalysts synthesized by encapsulating Cu/CuOx nanoparticles (NPs) within a carbon matrix, utilizing Cu-BTC as a precursor. The Cu-CuOx/C-700 catalyst, in particular, demonstrates a remarkable hydrogen evolution rate of 33.7 μmol·gcat−1·s−1 at 210 °C, significantly surpassing that of conventional catalysts. The exceptional stability of the Cu/CuOx/C catalysts can be ascribed to the protective carbon coating, which enhances the interaction between the Cu/CuOx NPs and the support and primarily inhibits the aggregation of copper nanoparticles under harsh aqueous reaction conditions. The reused catalysts were explored through XRD and ICP-OES analyses, which indicated that the structural integrity of the Cu-CuOx/C catalysts is largely preserved.

We have developed an innovative Cu-doped and DTX-loaded Cu-MnO2@DTX@FA (MCDF) nanodrug designed to strategically alter tumor microenvironment (TME) by harnessing the synergistic effects of chemodynamic therapy (CDT), chemotherapeutic agents, and the induction of ferroptosis and cuproptosis. The MCDF nanodrug efficiently degrades, releasing abundant Mn4+, Cu2+, and DTX. The conversion of Cu2+ to Cu+ facilitated by FDX1 initiates cuproptosis, while, similar to Mn2+, Cu+ reacts with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Cu2+ and Mn4+ oxidize glutathione (GSH), significantly depleting GSH levels in tumor cells and inactivating GPX4, which further promotes ferroptosis. The release of Cu2+ and Mn4+ intensifies the cuproptosis. DTX effectively disrupts the cell division cycle, thereby inhibiting the proliferation and spread of tumor cells. The FA-modified MCDF is designed to evade immune detection while selectively targeting tumor tissues, ensuring precision in treatment delivery. This cutting-edge material not only provides a multifunctional therapeutic strategy but also sets the stage for the next generation of tumor-targeting nanomedicines.

Porous architecture of titanium implants offers significant advantages in promoting osseointegration and mitigating the “stress shielding” effect. However, challenges remain in enhancing vascularization and preventing infection, especially given the complexities of modifying the intricate surface structure of porous titanium (PT). This study introduces a novel surface modification technique of PT using anti-gravity perfusion electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique to fabricate antibacterial coatings containing silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) co-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Ag-Cu@MSN) and chitosan binder on the surface of PT. The developed coating exhibits rapid and stable photothermal response to 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) light, leading to a localized temperature rise and triggered release of Ag and Cu ions for synergistic bactericidal efficacy against both E. coli and S. aureus . In vitro studies further demonstrated that the coated PT significantly promoted the proliferation of mouse calvaria pre-osteoblast (MC3T3-E1) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), with a notable increase in HUVECs migration and angiogenesis, attributable to the presence of Cu ions. This innovative EPD-based coating strategy offers a promising avenue for developing uniform, photothermally-activated antibacterial surfaces on PT implants, with substantial implications for advancing clinical bone repair applications.

ABSTRACT Photocatalytic decomposition of sugars is a promising way of providing H 2 , CO, and HCOOH as sustainable energy vectors. However, the production of C 1 chemicals requires the cleavage of robust C−C bonds in sugars with concurrent production of H 2 , which remains challenging. Here, the photocatalytic activity for glucose decomposition to HCOOH, CO (C 1 chemicals), and H 2 on Cu/TiO 2 was enhanced by nitrogen doping. Owing to nitrogen doping, atomically dispersed and stable Cu sites resistant to light irradiation are formed on Cu/TiO 2 . The electronic interaction between Cu and nitrogen ions originates valence band structure and defect levels composed of N 2 p orbit, distinct from undoped Cu/TiO 2 . Therefore, the lifetime of charge carriers is prolonged, resulting in the production of C 1 chemicals and H 2 with productivities 1.7 and 2.1 folds that of Cu/TiO 2 . This work provides a strategy to design coordinatively stable Cu ions for photocatalytic biomass conversion.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Early detection of HCC is pivotal for early treatment, thereby improving survival rates. Golgi protein 73 (GP73) is a promising biomarker for early HCC diagnosis, making it crucial to develop a sensitive method to detect GP73. In this study, a novel ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor was fabricated for the sensitive detection of GP73 using Hemin-Cu-based metal-organic framework (Hemin-Cu-MOF) nanocomposites and GP73 aptamers. The Hemin-Cu-MOF nanocomposites possessed not only excellent electroactive property with the Hemin and Cu-MOF as dual signal outputs, but also good electroconductivity to amplify the electrochemical signals. The Hemin-Cu-MOF nanocomposites with numerous active sites was used to label the GP73 aptamer (AptI) and construct the Hemin-Cu-MOF-AptI signal probe. Another sulfhydryl-modified GP73 aptamer (AptⅡ) was immobilized on the gold nanoparticles (Au) modified screen-printed carbon electrode (Au/SPCE) through gold-sulfur (Au-S) bonds and used as a capture probe. Upon adding GP73, AptI and AptⅡ specifically recognized GP73 to form the sandwich complex AptⅡ@GP73@Hemin-Cu-MOF-AptI, making the dual signal of Hemin-Cu-MOF change and indicating GP73 level. Under optimal experimental conditions, the ratio of two oxidation peak currents (I Cu-MOF /I Hemin ) was proportional to the GP73 concentration (1.0–300.0 ng/mL), with a detection limit as low as 0.625 ng/mL. Furthermore, the aptasensor was tested in real human serum samples using the standard recovery method, with recoveries ranging from 104.10 % to 116.66 %. Thus, the proposed aptasensor has great potential in clinical analysis for detecting GP73 and early diagnosing of HCC.

The nitrate (NO 3 − ) electroreduction into ammonia (NH 3 ) represents a promising approach for sustainable NH 3 synthesis. However, the variation of adsorption configurations renders great difficulties in the simultaneous optimization of binding energy for the intermediates. Though the extensively reported Cu-based electrocatalysts benefit NO 3 − adsorption, one of the key issues lies in the accumulation of nitrite (NO 2 − ) due to its weak adsorption, resulting in the rapid deactivation of catalysts and sluggish kinetics of subsequent hydrogenation steps. Here we report a tandem electrocatalyst by combining Cu single atoms catalysts with adjacent Co 3 O 4 nanosheets to boost the electroreduction of NO 3 − to NH 3 . The obtained tandem catalyst exhibits a yield rate for NH 3 of 114.0 mg \({}_{{{{{{\rm{NH}}}}}}_3}\) h −1 cm −2 , which exceeds the previous values for the reported Cu-based catalysts. Mechanism investigations unveil that the combination of Co 3 O 4 regulates the adsorption configuration of NO 2 − and strengthens the binding with NO 2 − , thus accelerating the electroreduction of NO 3 − to NH 3 .

The degradation of Chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) by catalytic oxidation forms toxic products, and catalysts may be poisoned by chlorine at low temperatures. To address this, a Cu-assisted strategy is proposed for enhancing the catalytic degradation of chlorobenzene (CB) over cobalt oxide nanosheets. The Cu-doped Co 3 O 4 catalysts exhibited lower T 90 values (temperatures with 90 % conversion) and improved stability compared to the unmodified catalyst. These results were attributed to strong metal-metal interactions between Cu species and cobalt oxide nanosheets, which showed a high specific surface area, reduced binding energy of lattice oxygen, higher surface oxygen concentration, and more surface Co 3+ species. These properties promoted low-temperature catalytic activity. In addition, the disappearance of Cu 2+ satellite peak after the catalyst is used, indicating that the Cu 2+ also contributes to the catalytic activity. Furthermore, the in situ FTIR spectra provided details about the reaction mechanism of CB degradation over Cu-doped cobalt oxide nanosheets. The oxygen vacancy generation and the surface absorption of chlorine-containing intermediates were calculated using density functional theory calculations. This study provides new insight into novel pathways for catalyst design aimed at CB degradation.

Cu-based tandem catalysts have been widely studied due to their excellent performance in electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR) to produce C2+ products. However, during the CO2RR process, Cu atoms face the issue of dynamic restructuring, resulting in relatively poor stability and single-product selectivity. Herein, Cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) was integrated with Cu nanoparticles (NPs) to prepare a tandem catalyst (Cu/CoPcx) by in-situ growth method, significantly enhancing the selectivity of Cu-based catalysts for C2+ products. The optimal material, Cu/CoPc0.004, achieved a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 73.17% for C2+ products, with a C2+ product current density exceeding 377 mA/cm2. More importantly, tandem catalyst Cu/CoPc0.004 exhibits high selectivity for ethylene, achieving a FE of 52.35% at -1.26 V (versus reversible hydrogen electrode) with a high ethylene current density (270 mA/cm2). The experimental results indicate that the interaction between CoPc and Cu NPs introduces numerous oxygen vacancies and stabilizes the presence of Cu+. Moreover, the unique structure of the cascade catalyst enables CoPc to provide a large amount of CO intermediates for Cu active sites, thus promoting C-C coupling and facilitating the formation of C2+ products.

The emergence of Cu@Ag core-shell nanoparticles presents a promising solution to address issues such as copper oxidation, the high cost of silver, and electro-chemical migration in high-power electronic devices, showcasing their potential for practical applications. In this study, Cu@Ag nanoparticles were synthesized via a liquid-phase reduction method, resulting in an average size of 30 nm. A low-boiling-point mixed organic solvent was meticulously prepared following Raoult's law, enabling the creation of a nano paste utilizing Cu@Ag nanoparticles. This innovation facilitated the sintering of fully dense joints under ambient air conditions, effectively mitigating the oxidation issue caused by silver dewetting behavior in Cu@Ag core-shell nanoparticles. Subsequently, the shear strength and microstructure of the joints were comprehensively studied under various sintering temperatures and durations. Notably, the joint exhibited a shear strength of 17.3 MPa when sintered at 250 °C for 30 min, while achieving full density at a sintering temperature of 300 °C for 30 min. These findings underscore the capacity of Cu@Ag core-shell nano paste to enable the production of high-performance joints under air conditions, utilizing thoughtfully selected organic components.

Photocatalytic urea production from nitrogen (N 2 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to the Bosch-Meiser route. However, it remains a significant challenge in developing highly efficient photocatalysts for enhancing C-N coupling to high-yield urea synthesis. Herein, we propose a multi-site photocatalyst concept to address the concern of low yield by simultaneously improving photogenerated carrier separation and reactant activation. As a proof of concept, a well-defined multi-site photocatalyst, Ru nanoparticles and Cu single atoms decorated CeO 2 nanorods (Ru-Cu/CeO 2 ), is developed for efficient urea production. The incorporation of Ru and Cu sites is crucial not only to generate high-density photogenerated electrons, but also to facilitate N 2 and CO 2 adsorption and conversion. The in situ formed local nitrogen-rich area at Ru sites increases the encounter possibility with the carbon-containing species generated from Cu sites, substantially promoting C-N coupling. The Ru-Cu/CeO 2 photocatalyst exhibits an impressive urea yield rate of 16.7 μmol g −1 h −1 , which ranks among the best performance reported to date. This work emphasizes the importance of multi-site catalyst design concept in guaranteeing rapid C-N coupling in photocatalytic urea synthesis and beyond.
