Collagen/cellulose bead was prepared by the reconstitution of collagen and cellulose (collagen/cellulose mass ratio = 1/6) from 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate. Based on this, a novel bio-adsorbent, bayberry tannin immobilized collagen/cellulose (BT-CC) bead, was obtained via the
reaction of collagen with bayberry tannin. The adsorption properties of BT-CC to Cu(II) in aqueous solution were investigated. Results from SEM and XRD indicated the well preservation of structure after the adsorption of Cu(II). Furthermore, the maximum decomposition temperature of BT-CC after
the adsorption of Cu(II) was even increased for ∼7 °C, confirming the stability of BT-CC. The adsorption of Cu(II) on BT-CC displayed pH-dependence and the maximum adsorption was obtained at pH = 5.0. Based on the mass content of collagen, the maximum adsorption capacity of BT-CC was
0.73, 0.96 and 1.12 mmol/g at 298, 308 and 318 K, respectively, according to the experimental adsorption isotherms. In kinetics studies, the adsorption equilibrium at both of 298 and 318 K reached within ∼300 min, and the experimental data could be well fitted by the pseudo-first-order
rate model. Furthermore, good adsorption properties of BT-CC remained after three cycles of adsorption–desorption. These results indicated that high stability, great adsorption capacity and good reusability of BT-CC as the adsorbent to Cu(II) could be obtained.

In this study, EDTA-functionalized Fe 3 O 4 (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -EDTA) was prepared by silanization reaction between N-(trimethoxysilylpropyl) ethylenediamine triacetic acid (EDTA-silane) and hydroxyl groups for Pb(II) and Cu(II) removal from aqueous solutions. Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -EDTA composites were characterized using SEM, TEM, EDX, FTIR, XPS, TGA and saturated magnetization techniques. Maximum Pb(II) adsorption capacity was found to be 114.94 mg g −1 with SiO 2 /EDTA molar ratio of 2.5:1. The adsorption rate was significantly fast and the equilibrium was reached within 10 min. The optimum pH was recorded to be 5.0. The maximum adsorption capacity of the studied heavy metal ions calculated by Langmuir model followed the order: Cu(II) (0.58 mmol g −1 ) > Pb(II) (0.55 mmol g −1 ) ≈ Ni(II) (0.55 mmol g −1 ) > Cd(II) (0.45 mmol g −1 ). Moreover, Pb(II) and Cu(II) adsorption capacities were not significantly affected by co-existing cations and NOM. These results suggested that this adsorbent can be considered as a promising adsorbent to remove Pb(II) and Cu(II) from wastewaters.

In this paper, catalysts with different aluminum contents were prepared by a co-precipitation method using LDHs (layered double hydroxides) as the precursors through the adjustment of Cu2+ : Fe2+, and the catalysts were named LDO catalysts. The effect of aluminum on CO2 hydrogenation to methanol was investigated by evaluating the characterization. With the addition of Al, Ar physisorption results showed an increase in BET-specific surface area, TEM demonstrated a decrease in catalyst particle diameter, XRD showed that Cu and Fe existed in the catalyst mainly in the form of CuFe2O4 and CuO, XPS demonstrated a decrease in electron cloud density and an increase in base sites and oxygen vacancies, and CO2-TPD and H2-TPD results indicated that Al promoted the dissociation and adsorption of CO2 and H2. When the reaction temperature was 230 °C, the pressure was 4 MPa, H2/CO2 = 2.5 and the space velocity was 2000 ml (h gcat)−1, the best conversion (14.87%) and the highest methanol selectivity (39.53%) of the catalyst were obtained at 30% aluminum content.

Fe3O4@polydopamine@polyamidoamine (Fe3O4@PDA@PAMAM) core–shell nanocomposites were successfully fabricated through a monodispersed Fe3O4 nanoflower synthesis, PDA modification and PAMAM grafting. The as-prepared single Fe3O4@PDA@PAMAM nanocomposite possesses a high relevant saturation magnetization (Ms) (30.25 emu g−1), while the coercivity (Hc) (10.85 Oe) and retentivity (Mr) (0.9062 emu g−1) were extremely low. The obtained Fe3O4@PDA@PAMAM has an adsorption capacity as high as 97.18 mg g−1 for Cu(II), and the adsorption process is in conformity with pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model. Moreover, the effect of pH and thermodynamics of the adsorption process is also discussed briefly.

Abstract Homogeneous Cu(I)/NMI/TEMPO catalyst system (TEMPO = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl) has been investigated for its catalysis on the aerobic oxidation of 1-octanol and other alcohols into aldehydes under room temperature. The catalytic species was found to be a Cu(I) centre coordinated by two NMI molecules and other two weakly bound solvent molecules, [Cu(NMI) 2 (Sol) 2 ] + (Sol = solvent). When CuI was used, this species could be [Cu(NMI)I(Sol) 2 ]. Not like being speculated previously, NMI in this system acts solely as a ligand and its role coordinated to the copper centre enhanced the electron density on the metal centre which promoted the O 2 binding in the catalysis. The labile solvent binding to the Cu(I) centre is essential to ensure both oxygen and substrate binding. The catalyst system is suitable for the oxidation of various alcohols using a simple reaction setup and workup. In particular, the system possesses strong oxidizing capability in quantitative conversion of benzylic alcohols regardless of the substituents on the phenyl ring and allylic alcohols into aldehydes. A plausible mechanism was also proposed for the catalysis. Graphical Abstract The aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols at room temperature to corresponding aldehydes was achieved by the catalyst composed by Cu(I) and methyl imidazole (NMI) mediated by TEMPO in acetonitrile. The catalytic species is proposed to be such a Cu(I) complex that two of its four coordinating sites are occupied by a strong ligand(s) and the rest two are weakly bound by solvent molecules.

Copper indium selenide (CISe) quantum dots (QDs) are a class of extremely appealing candidates for various biological applications due to their composition- and size-dependent photoluminescence and low toxicity. However, the synthesis of high-quality water-soluble CISe QDs with controlled composition in the aqueous phase is still a great challenge, which limits their biological applications. Moreover, the effects of the copper content in CISe QDs on the fluorescence and the corresponding mechanism are still subject to debate. Herein, a composition-tunable aqueous synthesis of high-quality Cu-deficient CISe QDs was presented, and the effects of the copper content on the fluorescence of CISe QDs was studied by the time-resolved fluorescence. The composition of CISe QDs could be flexibly controlled by manipulating the reaction temperature, the reaction time, and the Cu/In precursor ratio. The time-resolved fluorescence of CISe QDs with different Cu/In ratios suggested that the donor–acceptor pair (DAP) recombination was enhanced gradually with the increase of copper vacancies, resulting in the enhancement of fluorescence. However, if copper vacancies achieved an excessive concentration, the fluorescence would decrease possibly due to Auger recombination. The optimized CISe QDs with the maximum quantum yield of 10.3% were obtained with the Cu/In ratio, reaction temperature, and reaction time of 1/5, 170 °C, and 1 h, respectively. Based on the intense emission of the Cu-deficient CISe QDs, a highly sensitive “turn-on” fluorescent probe was developed for the detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in living cells with a limit of detection of 56 nM. This work provides a paradigm for the aqueous-phase synthesis and applications of ternary I–III–VI QDs.

Marine biofouling is one of the technical bottlenecks restricting the development of the global marine economy. Among the commercial self-polishing antifouling coatings, cuprous oxide is an irreplaceable component because of its efficiency and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. However, one of the biggest obstacles to achieving long-term antifouling is the “initial burst and final decay” of cuprous oxide in the coating. Here, we lock the copper ions by establishing an antifouling unit composed of Cu2O (core) and Cu-based metal–organic framework (Cu-MOF, shell). Cu-MOF is densely grown in situ on the periphery of Cu2O by acid proton etching. The shell structure of Cu-MOF can effectively improve the stability of the internal Cu2O and thus achieve the stable and slow release of copper ions. Furthermore, Cu2O@Cu-MOF nanocapsules can also achieve active defense by rapid and complete dissolution of Cu2O@Cu-MOF at local acidic microenvironment (pH ≤ 5) where the adhesion of fouling organisms occurs. Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy is used to explain the sterilization mechanism. Relying on the water- and acid-sensitive properties of Cu-MOF shell, the stable, controlled and efficient release of copper ions has been achieved for the Cu2O@Cu-MOF nanocapsules in the self-polishing antifouling coatings. Thus, these controlled-release nanocapsules make long-term antifouling promising.

Cu/Zn/Al-hydrotalcite-like compound (Cu/Zn/Al-HTlc) was prepared by the coprecipitation method with ZnII, AlIII cations solution, and electroplating wastewater containing CuII cation. The preparation conditions of Cu/Zn/Al-HTlc were optimized. The metal ion pollutants removal effect and iodide maximum adsorption capacity of Cu/Zn/Al-HTlc were also studied. The physicochemical properties of the Cu/Zn/Al-HTlc were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, FTIR, SEM, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, and TG-DTG. The results showed that Cu/Zn/Al-HTlc should be prepared with the ZnII-AlIII molar ratio of 1.5 : 1, pH = 11, and aged at room temperature for 0.5 d. Structural analysis showed that the Cu/Zn/Al-HTlc was a layered compound. CuII and other metal ion pollutants can also be successfully removed from electroplating wastewater in the preparation process of Cu/Zn/Al-HTlc and reached Chinese National Emission Standard (GB 21900-2008). The optimal adsorption condition of calcinated Cu/Zn/Al-HTlc for iodide was as follows: the solid-liquid ratio was 1 : 250, the pH value was 8, and the adsorption process was carried out at 25°C for 30 min. The saturated adsorption capacity reached 1000 mg·g−1 at the optimal adsorption condition. The main reason for this high-saturated adsorption capacity of Cu/Zn/Al-HTlc was that iodide penetrated into the layered structure of Cu/Zn/Al-HTlc by physical adsorption and CuII undergoes a specific redox reaction, producing CuI. Hence, coprecipitation synthetic technology and prepared Cu/Zn/Al-HTlc could be potentially used for electroplating wastewater treatment.

Ammonia (NH 3 ) has been regarded as an attractive energy source for hydrogen production via catalytic decomposition , especially over non-noble metal catalysts . Owing to the decent performance and low cost, nickel (Ni) based catalysts have been widely studied for catalytic decomposition of NH 3 where the decomposition rates, can be further tailored by adding other metals. Herein, we synthesized bimetallic M(M = Co, Fe, Cu)Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalysts delivering superior catalytic performance at a wide temperature range of 350–750 °C. Co-Ni/Al 2 O 3 demonstrated nearly 100% conversion of NH 3 decomposition to H 2 at 700 °C and the gas hourly space velocity of 30,000 ml g −1 min −1 , which was ~20.85% higher than that of intrinsic Ni/Al 2 O 3 . The structural characterizations indicated that Co could decrease the particle size and enhance the dispersion of active sites. The density functional theory calculations substantiated that the associative decomposition of N to generate N 2 was the rate-determining step of the NH 3 decomposition reactions . NH 3 Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) results suggested that the enhanced catalytic performance was predominantly attributed to the Co that decreases the energy barrier for the associative decomposition of N to form N 2 . This study provides new insights in designing diverse catalysts for efficient NH 3 decomposition for controllable H 2 production.

Commercially available and inexpensive ethylenediamine/Cu(OAc) 2 · H 2 O has been found to be a highly effective catalyst system for the cyanation of aryl bromides in the solvent of NMP. At the same time, the highly activated aryl chlorides with NO 2 groups gave corresponding benzonitriles in good yields. Similar to the previous observation, it is not necessary to use an excess of K 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ] in the cyanation reaction (only 20 mol% of K 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ] was used). In other hand, a more remarkable KI-accelerated effect was observed for the cyanation reaction: the addition of KI increased the yield from 6% to 91% in the cyanation of bromobenzene.

To achieve polyimide-metal complexes with enhanced properties, 5-amine-2-(5-aminopyridin-2-yl)-1-methyl-benzimidazole (PyMePABZ) that contains stiff 2-(2′-pyridyl)benzimidazole (PyBI) was synthesized and exploited to construct the Cu(ΙΙ)-crosslinked polyimides (Cu-PIs). These Cu-PIs exhibited higher dielectric, thermal, and mechanical properties with an increase in Cu2+content. Among them, their dielectric constants (εrS) were up to 43% superior to that of the neat PI, glass transition temperatures (Tgs) were all over 400 °C, and 5% weight loss temperature (T5%) maintained beyond 500 °C. These data indicate that the metal coordination crosslinking provided a useful guide to develop high performance PIs which possess potential application as useful high temperature capacitors.Keywords:polyimide;metal coordination crosslinking;high performance

Methanol reforming in aqueous solution provides a significantly attractive and promising pathway to release hydrogen with mild H2 release conditions and high H2 storage capacity. Exploring non-noble metal-based catalysts with sufficiently high activity, stability, and selectivity for H2 remains a great challenge. We report here the construction of a chitosan–lignin (CS–LN) carbon framework bio-composite-encapsulated Cu catalyst (Cu@CS–LN) with high loading and dispersion for base-free hydrogen generation from aqueous-phase methanol reforming below 210 °C. With optimized conditions, the hydrogen generation rate of Cu@CS–LN (2.5 × 105 μmolH2 gCu−1 h−1) represents an approximately 2-fold enhancement compared with Cu@CS without lignin incorporation, and more than 3–5 times higher than commercial Cu-based catalysts such as Rainie Cu or CuO/ZnO. The catalyst underwent an intensified water gas shift reaction (WGSR), and it also exhibited extraordinary selectivity toward the CO byproduct. The unique carbon framework structure of CS–LN through electrostatic densification self-assembly not only enhanced the adsorption and dispersion of Cu species, but it also stabilized and further reduced the Cu particles to active phase Cu during the hydrogen generation reaction to promote catalytic activity and stability without obvious catalyst deactivation detected after running for 150 hours. This specific hydrogen production technology exhibits great potential for hydrogen-powered polymer electrolyte membrane (PEMFCs) fuel cells.
