Trichlorfon (TCF) has the possibility of contaminating agricultural crops and posing some health risks to humans. Herein, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor based on Fe, Cu dual-atom catalysts (Fe/Cu-N-C DACs) and Au@Luminol was developed for the ultrasensitive detection of TCF. Fe/Cu-N-C with diatomic sites has a very high catalytic activity and can be used as a co-reaction accelerator to activate H 2 O 2 to generate a large number of hydroxyl radicals which triggered a strong cathodic ECL signal of luminol. TCF molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was further introduced as a specific recognition element, and the interaction between the template molecule and the functional monomer was verified by molecular docking technique. The developed sensing platform was successfully applied to the ultrasensitive detection of TCF with a linear range from 1.0 pg/mL to 5.0 μg/mL with a low detection limit (0.39 pg/mL). This study broadens the application of DACs in ECL sensing.

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential, emphasizing the critical need to develop efficient elimination methods. Electrocatalytic N2O reduction reaction (N2ORR) stands out as a promising approach, offering room temperature conversion of N2O to N2 without the production of NOx byproducts. In this study, we present the synthesis of a copper-based single-atom catalyst featuring atomic Cu on nitrogen-doped carbon black (Cu1–NCB). Attributed to the highly dispersed single-atom Cu sites and the effective suppression of the hydrogen evolution reaction, Cu1–NCB demonstrated an optimal N2 faradaic efficiency (82.1%) and yield rate (3.53 mmol h–1 mgmetal–1) at −0.2 and −0.5 V vs RHE, respectively, outperforming previously reported N2ORR electrocatalysts. Further, a gas diffusion electrode cell was employed to improve mass transfer and achieved a 28.6% conversion rate of 30% N2O with only a 14 s residence time, demonstrating the potential for practical application. Density functional theory calculations identified Cu–N4 as the crucial active site for N2ORR, highlighting the significance of the unsaturated coordination and metal–support electronic structure. O-terminal adsorption of N2O was favored, and the dissociative adsorption (*ON2 → *O + N2) was the rate-determining step. These findings reveal the broad prospects of N2O decomposition via electrocatalysis.

In this study, Cu doped carbon dots (Cu-CDs) of uniform particle size and good water solubility was synthesized using Angelica Sinensis Radix as precursor materials through a one-step hydrothermal. The Lucigenin-(Cu-CDs) chemiluminescence sensor allows the simultaneous determination of o -toluenesulfonamide (TFA) and sulfamethoxazole (STZ) concentrations. Under optimal conditions, the sensor demonstrates the capability to detect TFA and STZ within the ranges of 50 μM–800 μM and 15 μM–120 μM, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) for TFA and STZ are determined as 0.09 μM and 0.05 μM, respectively. While the limits of quantification (LOQ) are established at 0.3 μM and 0.17 μM, respectively. The feasibility of the method for determining TFA and STZ content in chicken samples was substantiated, demonstrating spiked recovery rates ranging from 97.5% to 102.3 % and 97.5%–99.8 %, respectively. The possible reaction mechanism was clarified based on chemiluminescence, UV–vis measurement and free radical analysis results. The newly established system is characterized by stability, convenience, and robust anti-interference capabilities, thus expanding the application of carbon dots and offering a promising strategy for the detection of TFA and STZ.

Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a nontoxic and ideal storage material for hydrogen due to its safety and high hydrogen storage capacity. In order to improve the practicality of the sodium borohydride hydrogen production system, we deposited non-precious metal catalytic materials on readily available polymer foams using a simple chemical plating method, developing a suitable 3D catalyst. Its high specific surface area enables it to produce hydrogen at a rate of up to 3.92 L min−1g−1. Its unique structure gives the catalyst excellent durability. In addition, an efficient NaBH4-based H2supply system was developed using this catalyst. Co-Cu-B can facilitate stable hydrogen production from NaBH4, yielding a consistent power output ranging from 0 to 100 W. This work provides a new pathway for developing high-efficiency monolithic self-supported catalysts for industrial applications.

Structural design of semiconductor photocatalysts plays an important role in promoting light absorption, molecular activation, and charge separation in the CO 2 reduction reaction, which is beneficial for improving photocatalytic activity. In this paper, a simple photodeposition strategy was employed to load Cu onto Bi 2 O 2 SO 4 and form a Cu-Bi alloy. Under simulated sunlight conditions, the optimal catalyst demonstrates impressive photocatalytic activity and selectivity for CO 2 reduction, with a corresponding yield of 18.8 μmol g -1 h -1 , 15 times higher than that of pure Bi 2 O 2 SO 4 , and CO selectivity reaching 97.1%. The results indicate that metal deposition enhances light absorption utilization efficiency and promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers. Additionally, the combination of in-situ FT-IR spectra and theoretical calculations reveal the molecular mechanisms of photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. This work discusses the synergistic effect of metal deposition and oxygen vacancies on photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 , providing a feasible method for constructing metal deposition structures with defects.

In the realm of advanced materials research, graphene/Cu composites have emerged as promising candidates due to their exceptional properties. This study explores the critical role of carbon source type in optimizing the performance of in-situ graphene/Cu composites. By systematically investigating 18-carbon chain olefins with different end-functional groups in octadecene (ODE), oleic acid (OA) and oleamine (OAM) as carbon sources, we uncover their profound impact on graphene quality, composite grain boundaries, and load transfer efficiency. OA and OAM can enhance carbon retention and promote the formation of Cu 2 O and Cu 3 N nanoparticles, thereby enhancing the binding of graphene/Cu interfaces and improving load transfer. Moreover, the functional groups in the carbon sources play a crucial role in copper grain refinement and strengthening, which enhances the overall mechanical properties. Specially, the composites prepared with OAM demonstrated superior mechanical properties, including the highest yield strength (468 MPa), tensile strength (515 MPa), and fracture elongation (11.9 %), as well as good electrical conductivity (87.8 % IACS) and a low resistance temperature coefficient (3.46 × 10 −3 °C −1 ). This study underscores the importance of carbon source selection in optimizing graphene/Cu composites and provides valuable insights into the intricate relationship between chemistry, microstructure, and material properties, paving the way for the rational design of multifunctional materials.

Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs), which have been widely recognized as nontoxic and green energy conversion devices, show attractive application prospects for liquid hydrogen-carriers, due to the higher specific energy and lower toxicity of ethanol. Pt-based catalysts are widely used in DEFCs, while their poor poisoning resistance highlights the importance of composition and structure optimization. Herein, we synthesized a series of reduced graphene oxide supported ternary alloy AuxPt1−xCu3/rGO (x = 0-1) catalysts with excellent ethanol oxidation performance and a composition-dependent volcano plot trend of the ordering degree was observed and rationalized. The highest Pt-normalized mass activity of Au0.8Pt0.2Cu3/rGO is attributed to the optimized CO binding energy according to DFT calculations. This work not only provides an efficient EOR catalyst based on ordered alloys AuxPt1−xCu3 (x = 0-1), but also offers valuable insight into the role of a third metal in tuning the structure and function of alloys.

Titanium alloys are widely used in marine environments and medical fields due to their excellent corrosion resistance and high specific strength. However, their good biocompatibility can lead to severe biofouling, thereby limiting their effectiveness. To inhibit biofouling on the surface of titanium alloys, this study proposes an antifouling solution, which involves the in situ preparation of Cu-MOF film on titanium alloys by leveraging the antibacterial properties of Cu ions. Here, the dense and stable TiO2 film on the surface of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy was removed by alkali-heat treatment; meanwhile, a porous surface structure was simultaneously obtained where OH– ions were retained. In the subsequent step, the retained OH– ions in the pores attracted Cu2+ ions in solution to form Cu(OH)2 in the pores, providing active sites for the formation of Cu-MOFs. Subsequently, Cu(OH)2 reacted with organic ligand (1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, BTC) at room temperature to form Cu-MOFs in the pores, which then grew quickly to cover the alkali-heat-treated surface within 1 h. The formation mechanism of Cu-MOF film on Ti-6Al-4V was elucidated, which provides a reference for designing and preparing multifunctional MOF film in situ on titanium alloys. The stability of in situ-grown Cu-MOF samples and their inhibitory effects on bacteria and microalgae have also been verified. The results indicate that although the stability of Cu-MOFs is relatively poor, their bactericidal and algicidal effects are extremely significant, suggesting that this material has significant potential for short-term applications that require high antibacterial performance.

Copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) materials with multiple active sites have attracted increasing attention to the electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (ECR), however, face the huge challenge owing to the poor stability and low C 2 selectivity. Here, the Cu 2 O/Cu-CuTCPP heterojunction (Cu 2 O/CPFs) with three Cu active sites are firstly constructed through in-situ electrodeposition method. The effect of CuSO 4 concentration and electrodeposition conditions on ECR is systematically investigated. The optimized Cu 2 O/CPFs composite achieves the ethylene Faraday efficiency (FE C2H4 ) of 61.8 % at –1.3 V vs. RHE, which is 1.9 and 3.42 times higher than those of CPFs and Cu 2 O, respectively. Meanwhile, the C 2 H 4 partial current density ( j C2H4 ) of –7.96 mA·cm −2 is 2.91 and 4.68 times higher than those of CPFs and Cu 2 O. Further experiments reveals that the formation of Cu 2+ –O–Cu + –O bond between Cu 2 O and Cu–O 4 sites in Cu 2 O/CPF heterojunction is crucial. Consequently, the hydrogen (H 2 ), formic acid (HCOOH) and methane (CH 4 ) evolution reactions are restricted, the C–C coupling reaction of *CHO and *CO intermediates is significantly enhanced, and the Cu–O 4 sites in CPFs are protected. This work provides an effective strategy to stabilize MOF structure and obtain high value-added C 2+ products.

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.

Cu/ZnAl 2 O 4 spinel is a promising catalyst for CO 2 -to-methanol due to its dual-site H 2 activation. However, controlling surface properties and metal-support interactions (MSI) through the coordination environment of spinel cations remains underexplored. Herein, the occupancy of Zn 2+ and Al 3+ cations in Cu/ZnAl 2 O 4 spinel is fine-tuned by manipulating the calcination atmosphere. More disordered structures (AlO 4 and ZnO 6 ) observed on the CZA-Ar catalyst benefit the creation of oxygen vacancies and surface hydroxyl groups, which facilitate the formation of highly dispersed small-sized Cu species. This enhances MSI and hydrogen spillover effects, thereby boosting CO 2 conversion and the space-time yield (STY) of methanol. High-pressure in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) results reveal that the crucial formate intermediates form at tetrahedral sites in ZnAl 2 O 4 spinel, with more Al-HCOO - species observed on the CZA-Ar catalyst due to the formation of AlO 4 . This work advances the understanding of spinel catalysts in CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol.
