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.

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.

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.

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.

Disruptions in metal balance can trigger a synergistic interplay of cuproptosis and ferroptosis, offering promising solutions to enduring challenges in oncology. Here, we have engineered a Cellular Trojan Horse, named MetaCell, which uses live neutrophils to stably internalize thermosensitive liposomal bimetallic Fe-Cu MOFs (Lip@Fe-Cu-MOFs). MetaCell can instigate cuproptosis and ferroptosis, thereby enhancing treatment efficacy. Mirroring the characteristics of neutrophils, MetaCell can evade the immune system and not only infiltrate tumors but also respond to inflammation by releasing therapeutic components, thereby surmounting traditional treatment barriers. Notably, Lip@Fe-Cu-MOFs demonstrate notable photothermal effects, inciting a targeted release of Fe-Cu-MOFs within cancer cells and amplifying the synergistic action of cuproptosis and ferroptosis. MetaCell has demonstrated promising treatment outcomes in tumor-bearing mice, effectively eliminating solid tumors and forestalling recurrence, leading to extended survival. This research provides great insights into the complex interplay between copper and iron homeostasis in malignancies, potentially paving the way for innovative approaches in cancer treatment.

The growth of Li dendrites and the instability of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer during plating/stripping has hindered the practical application of high-energy-density batteries based on a lithium metal anode. Building a stable interfacial layer is effective in preventing lithium corrosion by the electrolyte and controlling the deposition of lithium metal. Here, we present a robust polydopamine-Cu ion (PDA-Cu 2+ ) coating layer formed by the aggregation of nanoparticles and Cu ions, which can be obtained by a subtle immersion strategy. We demonstrate that the PDA-Cu 2+ protective layer, with a unique structure comprising nanoparticles, can regulate and guide Li metal deposition, and together with Cu ions, forms a lubricating surface to facilitate uniform Li ion diffusion and induce stable SEI layer formation. Li anodes with this PDA-Cu 2+ layer modification ultimately achieve higher Coulombic efficiencies, which are consistently stable for over 650 cycles at 0.5 mA·cm −2 without Li dendrites. The introduced PDA-Cu 2+ coating can adhere to any material of any shape; additionally, the operation can be realized on a large scale because of its simplicity. These merits provide a promising approach for developing stable and safe lithium metal batteries.

In this work, a novel MOF (metal organic framework) based composite of β-BCoPc/Cu-BTC is fabricated by immobilizing β-aryloxy phthalocyanine cobalt (β-BCoPc) on Cu-BTC (benzenetricarboxylic acid-Cu) via a facile impregnation approach. After a systematic characterization via X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, the above-synthesized catalyst is for the first time applied to photocatalytically decompose refractory malachite green (MG) dye pollutant under UV light irradiation. In comparison with that of the β-BCoPc or Cu-BTC monomers, the synthesized β-BCoPc/Cu-BTC composite shows a significantly enhanced photocatalytic degradation performance of MG with a best degradation efficiency up to 90.12 %, which can easily be attributed to the synergistic effect between the Cu-BTC and β-BCoPc effectively improving light utilization efficiency, accelerating charge transportation and reducing charge recombination due to the desirable properties such as the conjugacy of the MOFs skeleton, the positive catalytic activity of central ion and large specific surface area, etc. In conclusion, the present work provides an effective and novel strategy via preparing MOF-based composite catalyst to realize the photocatalytic degradation of MG.

A photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on hierarchically porous Cu-BTC/g-C 3 N 4 nanosheet (Cu-BTC/CN-NS, BTC = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid) material was constructed for the first time. As a composite material, the hierarchically porous Cu-BTC can help to efficiently capture suitable pesticide molecules and accelerate signal transmission, while CN-NS possesses good optical performance. Under the irradiation of visible light, the Cu metal center can coordinate with the added glyphosate to form Cu-glyphosate complexes, leading to the increased steric hindrance of electron transfer and consequently resulted in an obvious decrease in photocurrent . Through this strategy, the constructed sensor can realize the detection of glyphosate from non-electroactive to electroactive. The results indicate that this photoelectrochemical sensor has a low detection limit of 1.3 × 10 −13 mol L −1 and a wide detection range (1.0 × 10 −12 –1.0 × 10 −8 mol L −1 and 1.0 × 10 −8 ∼ 1.0 × 10 −3 mol L −1 ). Furthermore, this Cu-BTC/CN-NS based sensor has the characteristics of short detection time and easy operation. It has great potential applications in photoelectrochemical analysis.

In this work, Cu nanosphere-anchored Cu-based MOF derivants were synthesized by high-temperature calcination using Cu(BDC) as precursors and then combined with gold nanoparticles to give AuNPs/Cu/C composites. The proposed materials were characterized by SEM, XRD, XPS, FTIR, and EIS. Based on these composites, a sensor was constructed, which showed good electrocatalytic activities to the redox of acetaminophen (PA) and P-aminophenol (4-AP) and could be used to detect them simultaneously. Under optimal experimental conditions, the linear ranges for detection of PA and 4-AP were 0.50–150.00 and 0.50–120.00 μM with the detection limits of 0.056 and 0.084 μM, respectively. Thanks to the hierarchical and porous structural characteristics of the Cu/C material and its synergistic effect with AuNPs, it shows good sensing performance in the simultaneous detection of PA and 4-AP. The sensor has wider linear ranges, lower detection limits, good selectivities, and higher accuracies with potential environmental detection application prospects.

High-performance, cost-effective cathodes are essential for grid-scale sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) have shown great potential as SIB cathodes, but achieving both high capacity and long lifespan remains challenging. In this study, a series of low-cost ternary PBAs synthesized through structural regulation is presented to simultaneously achieve high capacity, stable cycling performance, and broad temperature adaptability. Among them, CuHCF-3 demonstrates a specific capacity of 132.4 mAh g −1 with 73.3% capacity retention over 1000 cycles. In-depth analyses, using in situ techniques and density functional theory calculations, reveal a highly reversible three-phase transition (monoclinic ↔ cubic ↔ tetragonal) in Na 1.96 Cu 0.45 Mn 0.55 [Fe(CN) 6 ] 0.91 ·□ 0.09 ·2.14H 2 O (CuHCF-3), which is driven by synergistic interactions between Mn and Cu. Mn enhances conductivity, increases the operating voltage, and introduces additional redox centers, while Cu mitigates the Jahn–Teller distortions associated with Mn and buffers volume changes during cycling. This structural synergy results in excellent temperature stability across a wide temperature range (−20 to 55 °C). 18650-type cylindrical cells based on CuHCF-3 with high loading density achieve 73.54% capacity retention over 850 cycles. This study offers valuable insights for designing durable, high-capacity electrode materials for SIB energy storage applications.

This study presents the synthesis and application of a bifunctional modified magnetic chitosan microsphere (MCS-II) for the simultaneous removal of Cu 2+ and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) from electroplating wastewater. The adsorbent was functionalized with polyethyleneimine (PEI) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and embedded with Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles to enhance adsorption capacity and magnetic separability. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that MCS-II exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 141.0 mg/g for Cu 2+ (pH = 6, T = 55 °C) with a removal efficiency of 96 %, and a maximum adsorption capacity of 1632 mg/g for SDBS (pH = 2, T = 25 °C) with a removal efficiency of 95 %. Kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption processes for both pollutants followed pseudo-second-order kinetics, indicating chemisorption as the dominant mechanism. Isotherm analysis showed that Cu 2+ adsorption fitted the Langmuir model, suggesting monolayer coverage, while SDBS adsorption exhibited characteristics of both monolayer and multilayer adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that Cu 2+ adsorption was endothermic (ΔH > 0) and spontaneous (ΔG < 0), whereas SDBS adsorption was exothermic (ΔH < 0) and spontaneous (ΔG < 0). In binary systems, synergistic effects were observed, with SDBS enhancing Cu 2+ adsorption via additional binding sites, while Cu 2+ exerted minimal inhibition on SDBS removal. Characterization techniques (SEM, FT-IR, XPS, etc.) confirmed the successful incorporation of amino and carboxyl groups, which facilitated chelation with Cu 2+ and electrostatic/hydrophobic interactions with SDBS. Moreover, MCS-II demonstrated excellent recyclability and magnetic recovery: after 4 adsorption-desorption cycles, its Cu 2+ adsorption capacity remained at ∼85–92 % of the original, and SDBS removal rate stayed at ∼95 % through 5 cycles, maintaining high adsorption efficiency for practical application. This work provides a promising strategy for designing multifunctional adsorbents to treat complex wastewater containing both heavy metals and anionic surfactants, offering potential for practical environmental remediation applications.

Chemotherapy continues to be the most commonly applied strategy for cancer. Despite the impressive clinical success obtained with several drugs, increasing numbers of (multi)drug-resistant tumors are reported. To overcome this shortcoming, novel drug candidates and delivery systems are urgently needed. Herein, a therapeutic copper polypyridine complex encapsulated in natural nanocarrier apoferritin is reported. The generated nanoparticles showed higher cytotoxicity toward various (drug-resistant) cancer cell lines than noncancerous cells. The study of the mechanism revealed that the compound triggers cell autophagy-dependent apoptosis. Promisingly, upon injection of the nanodrug conjugate into the bloodstream of a mouse model bearing a multidrug-resistant colon tumor, a strong tumor growth inhibition effect was observed. To date, this is the first study describing the encapsulation of a copper complex in apoferritin that acts by autophagy-dependent apoptosis.
