This study presents the development of a magnetic relaxation switching (MRS) immunosensor for the sensitive detection of chlorpyrifos (CPF) with a signal amplification strategy using Pd/Cu-TCPP(Fe) hybrid nanosheets and polydopamine (PDA). Pd/Cu-TCPP(Fe) nanosheets, which exhibit high peroxidase-like activity and excellent storage stability, making them suitable replacements for natural enzymes in biosensors, are further functionalized with goat anti-mouse IgG (Ab 2 ) to construct an immunosensor. The mechanism relies on the competition between free CPF and the immobilized bovine serum albumin-CPF conjugates for antibody binding, which modulates the aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) that are related to the transverse relaxation time. The optimized immunosensor shows a linear detection range from 0.5 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.24 ng/mL, outperforming traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods by achieving an LOD that is about 9 times lower. Real sample analysis demonstrates the applicability of the Pd/Cu-TCPP(Fe)-PDA-MRS immunosensor for detecting CPF residues in tomato and water samples, with results well consistent with those obtained using gas chromatography. This work highlights the potential of nanomaterials in enhancing the performance of MRS immunosensors for pesticide residue analysis in environmental and food safety monitoring.

The acidic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) offers a promising approach to mitigate CO 2 reactant loss and carbonate deposition, which are challenging issues in alkaline or neutral electrolytes. However, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) competes in the proton-rich environment near the catalyst surface as a side reaction, reducing the energy efficiency of generating multi-carbon (C 2+ ) products. In this work, we proposed a palladium (Pd) doping strategy in a copper (Cu)-based catalyst to stabilize polarized Cu 0 -Cu + sites, thus enhancing the C C coupling step during the CO 2 RR while suppressing HER. At an optimal doping ratio of 6%, the Pd dopants were well dispersed as single atoms without aggregation, allowing for the stabilization of subsurface oxygen (O Sub ), preserving the polarized Cu 0 -Cu + active sites, and reducing the energy barrier of C C coupling. The Pd-doped Cu/Cu 2 O catalyst exhibited a peak Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 64.0% for C 2+ products with a corresponding C 2+ partial current density of 407.1 mA∙cm −2 at −2.18 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode, a high CO 2 single-pass conversion efficiency (SPCE) of 73.2%, as well as a high electrochemical stability of ∼ 150 h at industrially relevant current densities, thus suggesting a potential approach for tuning the electrocatalytic CO 2 performances in acidic environments with higher carbon conversion efficiencies.

The germ-killing functions of silver and copper nanoparticles (NPs) were worthy of biomedical applications, but as heavy metals, NPs need to be more antimicrobial at lower doses to minimize hazards to human health, which requires more explorations on the new structures resulting from the compositing between two metals. In this study, self-assembled Cu-Ag bimetallic NPs were synthesized using a two-step reduction method. Results showed that both the Cu and Ag in Cu-Ag NPs existed as pure phases, the nanoparticles comprised ∼5 nm primary particles that self-assembled into ∼50 nm secondary particles surrounded with carbon-chain coatings. The larger secondary particles provided Cu-Ag with good particle dispersibility and chemical stability against deeper oxidation above ∼360 °C, while the smaller primary particles facilitated their suspensions in achieving a maximum inhibition ring of 10.01±0.25 mm and a minimum optical density (OD) of 0.11±0.01. Cu-Ag NPs demonstrated superior antimicrobial performance against all target strains, exhibiting synergistic enhancement through released active ions and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cell viability ranged from 74.4 % to 95.4 % after co-culturing for 24 h, confirming that all synthesized nanometals were non-toxic to L929 cells at most concentrations. Increasing the suspension concentration enhanced antimicrobial activity while reducing cell viability. This conflict established an optimal Cu/Ag ratio of 10:4 and a concentration of 4 μg/mL, allowing Cu-Ag NPs to perform both broad-spectrum bactericidal activity and cell safety.

Monosultap (Mon) poses significant environmental and human health risks due to its widespread and irregular use. However, due to the lack of intrinsic fluorophores and identifiable sites in monosultap, there were few fluorescence analytical methods achieved sensitive detection of monosultap. Hence, we present a BSA-Cu nanocluster-based turn-off-on fluorescent sensor for sensitive detection of monosultap. The sensor exhibits fluorescence quenching ("turn-off") in the presence of DTAB-CuTPyP. The competitive binding of monosultap with DTAB-CuTPyP switches the sensor to the "turn-on" state. Under optimized conditions, the sensor demonstrates a linear response to monosultap concentrations ranging from 0.33 × 10⁻ 2 to 3.33 × 10⁻ 2 mg/kg, with a detection limit of 0.098 mg/kg, which is below the permissible exposure limit (approximately 1 mg/kg). In addition, the co-existence of nine interference pesticides does not affect the sensor's ability to detect monosultap. This fluorescence restoration mechanism enables sensitive monosultap detection and provides a guide for detecting trace pesticides in food.

Electrochemical CO 2 -to-ethanol conversion is challenged by sluggish C-C coupling kinetics and wide products distribution. Although Cu + has been demonstrated to enhance multi-carbon (C 2+ ) formation, the stabilization of Cu + under reduction conditions is difficult. Here, we report a hydrogen-ethanol pretreatment strategy to obtain Cu nanoparticles covered by highly dispersed and disordered ZnO 1- x clusters. Ethanol-induced ZnO 1- x redispersion gives rise to abundant Cu + on the subsurface. The optimal catalyst delivers a 73.0% ethanol Faradaic efficiency (FE) and 86.0% total C 2+ FE at −0.9 V, with a 2.3 mmol cm −2 h −1 ethanol formation rate and single-pass ethanol yield of 18.0%. The catalyst also exhibits stability beyond 500 h, attributed to the stabilization of Cu + by the ZnO 1- x shield that requires a high energy barrier for lattice oxygen removal. In situ X-ray spectroscopy and calculations reveal a volcano relationship between Cu + ratio in Cu species and ethanol FE. Optimal Cu + density not only facilitates *OC-COH coupling but also optimizes the adsorption energy of *CH 2 CH 2 O on catalyst for ethanol electrosynthesis.

To elucidate how CeO2 additives enhance the activity and stability of Cu-SSZ-13 SCR catalysts, we investigated two CeO2/Cu-SSZ-13 composite catalysts with Cu loadings of 1.0 and 2.5 wt %. These catalysts were characterized using an array of techniques, including XRD, SEM, TEM, NMR, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, DRIFTS, DFT and SCR reactions under both steady-state and transient kinetic analysis conditions. Our findings demonstrate that CeO2 promotes low-temperature SCR by forming exchanged, isolated Ce-ions, which enhance Cu-ion coupling efficiency. External surface CeO2 particles can convert NO + O2 to surface nitrates, but these species primarily act as spectators below ∼250 °C, and do not contribute to the enhancement of low-temperature SCR activity. In contrast, these surface CeO2 particles can synergizes with Brønsted acid sites (BAS) to elevate high-temperature SCR activity. Furthermore, hydrothermal stability and sulfur resistance are improved by the presence of external surface CeO2 particles, a benefit that applies irrespective of Cu loading.

This paper presents a novel tubular microreactor immobilized a photocatalyst to overcome the limitations of low light utilization and the challenges associated with catalyst recovery in traditional photocatalysis reactors. The copper-sulfur co-doped carbon quantum dots (Cu, S-CQDs)/bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ) composites were successfully immobilized on the inner surface of the microreactor channel through the sol–gel process. The catalytic layer in the microreactor enlarged the specific surface area and facilitated the mass transfer. Meanwhile, it also greatly reduced the consumption of chemical supplies and eliminated the need for recycling the photocatalyst. The morphology and structural features of the catalytic layer were studied by characterization. Then the photocatalytic performance of the microreactor was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B. The photocatalytic kinetics of the photocatalytic reaction in the microreactor was 0.60925, which was 10.49 times greater than that in the macroscopic system. The results showed that the microreactor led to a significant improvement in degradation efficiency. The reproducibility experiments conducted on the microreactor system further demonstrate its excellent stability. In short, integrating the beneficial properties of microreactors with Cu, S-CQDs/BiVO 4 exhibits highly promising prospects of photocatalytic applications.

CO 2 electroreduction is a potential pathway to achieve net-zero emissions in the chemical industry. Yet, CO 2 loss, resulting from (bi)carbonate formation, renders the process energy-intensive. Acidic environments can address the issue but at the expense of compromised product Faradaic efficiencies (FEs), particularly for multi-carbon (C 2+ ) products, as rapid diffusion and migration of protons (H + ) favors competing H 2 and CO production. Here, we present a strategy of tuning the 2-position substituent length on benzimidazole (BIM)-based copper (Cu) coordination polymer (CuCP) precatalyst – to enhance CO 2 reduction to C 2+ products in acidic environments. Lengthening the substituent from H to nonyl enhances H + diffusion retardation and decreases Cu-Cu coordination numbers (CNs), favoring further reduction of CO. This leads to a nearly 24× enhancement of selectivity towards CO hydrogenation and C-C coupling at 60 mA cm −2 . We report the highest C 2+ product FE of more than 70% at 260 mA cm −2 on pentyl-CuCP and demonstrate a CO 2 -to-C 2+ single-pass conversion (SPC) of ~54% at 180 mA cm −2 using pentyl-CuCP in zero-gap electrolyzers.

This paper introduces a method to synthesize thick-shell Cu@Ag particles, with nanorod-shape silver wrapped on the copper surface after substitution and reduction reactions. The average size of silver nanorods is less than 50 nm and that of the copper particles is about 1 μm. The surface morphology, structure, and sintering properties of Cu@Ag particles were characterized in detail. The results show that the sintering temperature of thick-shell Cu@Ag is 127.5 °C, which is lower than that of Cu@Ag particles covered with island-shape and block-shape silver nanoparticles. The conductive ink was prepared by mixing it with resin paste, and the bulk conductivity of the conductive paste under different sintering conditions was investigated. The optimal -process parameters were chosen to conduct the printing of radio frequency identification (RFID) antennas. The farthest reading distances achieved by the ultra-high frequency RFID (UHF RFID) and the high-frequency RFID (HF RFID) were 9.4 m and 3.5 cm, respectively, which have good prospect of practical application.

It also showed excellent performance in HNO 3 and neutral media, expanding its application scope. Ultimately, the BCN-CuCo facilitated the production of 320 mg of ammonium diuranate in a neutral medium, supporting sustainable resource utilization. This research provides an efficient strategy for ammonia synthesis and introduces a method for recycling resources from uranium and nitrate-contaminated wastewater.

Artificial mimic enzymes have attracted wide attention for their superior characteristics to natural enzymes in extensive applications of diagnosis and therapy. In this paper, a nanozyme Cu-BDC@FeMo 6 was designed and fabricated by embedding polyoxometalate (NH 4 ) 3 [FeMo 6 O 18 (OH) 6 ]·6H 2 O (FeMo 6 ) into a copper-based metal–organic framework (Cu-BDC). The integration of FeMo 6 and Cu MOF based on the synergies of oxidability of FeMo 6 and oxygen-driven reversible Cu + /Cu 2+ enhanced the peroxidase mimicking activity, which accomplished the sensitive visual monitoring of H 2 O 2 and dopamine (DA). The detection of H 2 O 2 was driven by Cu-BDC@FeMo 6 catalyzing the oxidation of TMB with colorimetric evolution to blue, and consecutive monitoring DA via the reverse process of reduction of ox-TMB was further achieved. The limit of detection (LOD) of H 2 O 2 and DA were 10 μM and 2.27 μM, with excellent stability, and outstanding selectivity. The mechanism of the catalysis was further evaluated, and the generation of O 2 · - played a crucial role in the catalysis for oxidation. The logic gate design was constructed to illustrate the process and application. This work provides a feasible reference for the reasonable design of simulated enzyme in biosensor applications.

Metalloenzyme mimics based on small molecules are valuable therapeutic candidates, but there are few reports on their mechanism of action. Inspired by natural enzymes, we designed two Cu–Fe bimetallic multienzyme mimetics (CuFc1 and CuFc2). Due to the coordination of the bimetallic centers, CuFc1 exhibits mimetic activities for multiple enzymes, including peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione oxidase (GSHOx). CuFc1 can catalyze cascade reactions from •O2– and H2O2 to O2 and •OH, which leads to a storm of reactive oxygen species and causes cuproptosis and ferroptosis in cancer cells simultaneously. As CuFc1 treatment upregulates the expression of PD-L1, it acts synergistically with the PD-L1 inhibitor (BMS-1) to remodel the tumor immune microenvironments and stimulates intense anticancer immune responses in vivo. In summary, through reasonable molecular design, we first demonstrate the enormous potential of metallo small molecule-based multienzyme mimics in cancer immunotherapy.
