CNTs-Al was prepared by ball milling combined with sintering process and then used for CNTs-Al-Cu synthesis with chemical deposition method. The obtained CNTs-Al-Cu composite was systematically characterized and its NO 3 − -N reduction performance under alkaline condition was also evaluated. As indicated by the reduction batch experiment, 80.2% of NO 3 − -N removal efficiency was obtained in 90 min at pH of 9. The product of the reduction process was dominated by NO 2 − -N, which was further reduced to harmless N 2 . The reusability of CNTs-Al-Cu composite was evaluated, and the experiment results showed that 68.1% of NO 3 − -N removal efficiency was maintained after 3 cycles of regeneration. Finally, based on the characterization results and kinetic analysis, it was concluded that micro-electrolysis was mainly responsible for the removal of NO 3 − -N by CNTs-Al-Cu.

The steric effect caused by the lattice mismatch between the two phases hinders the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers, which is one of the important factors limiting the activity of heterojunction photocatalysts. In this paper, semi - coherent interface Cu2O/Cu7S4 heterojunction was successfully constructed based on the epitaxy growth method of anion exchange. The degradation of tetracycline by semi - coherent interface Cu 2 O/Cu 7 S 4 -30 heterojunction under simulated visible light reached 95.3 % at 60 min, which is a significant improvement compared with single-phase catalysts and ordinary heterojunction catalysts (Cu 2 O/Cu 7 S 4 -mix). The experimental characterization and theoretical calculations confirmed the existence of unique S-Cu-O chemical bonds in the semi - coherent interface Cu 2 O/Cu 7 S 4 heterojunction. On the basis of heterojunction energy band bending and the formation of built-in electric fields, the S-Cu-O bonds can act as a specific bridge to further facilitate the separation, transfer and delivery of photoelectrons and holes, which contributes to the generation of more oxidatively active species (mainly superoxide radicals and holes). In addition, based on experimental characterization and theoretical calculations, the intermediates, degradation pathways and photodegradation mechanisms of the degradation process have also been discussed in detail.

Electroreduction removal of nitrate (NO 3 – -N) is considered as a promising approach to solve its adverse effects on environment and human health, where efficient and cheap catalysts are required. Perovskite-based catalysts showed a versatile catalytic ability for wide range of redox reactions, but seldom applied for NO 3 – -N reduction. Herein, four perovskite oxide cathodes, LaMO 3-δ (M = Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) were prepared and used for the reduction of NO 3 – -N. The Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) type La 2 CuO 4 exhibited the best NO 3 – -N catalytic activity among the four perovskite oxide cathodes, with a removal rate of 11.7 × 10 -3 min −1 . The high selectivity of NH 4 + -N (82.4 ± 2.2%) indicated that NH 4 + -N was the main final product for NO 3 – -N electroreduction at La 2 CuO 4 cathode, but 100% of N 2 selectivity could be obtained with addition of 1000 and 1500 mg/L Cl - as the electro-assisted chlorination process. The mechanism of NO 3 – -N electroreduction occurred by both electron- and H*-mediated pathway, and the oxygen vacancies and redox cycle of Cu(I)-Cu(II)-Cu(I) were proposed as the accommodation sties and direct electron sources for NO 3 – -N reduction. Generally, this study opens a novel avenue for the development of earth-abundant, cost-effective catalyst with effective NO 3 – -N electroreduction.

Metallurgical bonding was achieved between carbide-dispersion-strengthened Cu (CDS-Cu) and oxide-dispersion-strengthened W (ODS-W) after diffusion bonding via an interface tailoring method of anodization and deoxidation of ODS-W combined with the introduction of Cu wetting layer. The shear strength of the CDS-Cu/ODS-W joints fabricated by the interface-tailoring bonding is 124 MPa, which is higher than that of 99 MPa of the joint prepared by direct bonding. The increase in strength is due to the achievement of the metallurgical bonding between CDS-Cu/ODS-W, the increase of the debonding energy and the increase of propagation distance of the cracks. After metallurgical bonding, the second phase particles of WC in CDS-Cu and Y 2 O 3 in ODS-W were dispersed at the phase boundary to reduce the lattice strain energy. This work paves the way for the preparation of advanced plasma-facing components comprised of high-performance CDS-Cu and ODS-W for China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR).

One outstanding advantage of supercritical water gasification (SCWG) coupled with CO 2 capture and storage (CCS) technology is to realize the conversion of bio-waste into hydrogen-rich syngas. In this study, metal organic frameworks of copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (Cu-BTC) were synthesized via solvothermal method with different synthesis time and used as adsorbent for capturing CO 2 from SCWG model syngas. The effect of synthesis time, adsorption temperature, and adsorption pressure on CO 2 adsorption capacity of Cu-BTC was evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The Pareto chart showed that adsorption pressure had significant effect on CO 2 adsorption capacity, and the surface plot indicated that CO 2 adsorption capacity increased with higher adsorption pressure and lower adsorption temperature. Cu-BTC with 48-h synthesis time had the largest specific surface area (1737 cm 2 /g) and pore volume (0.73 cm 3 /g), and it exhibited the highest CO 2 capacity of 19.83 mmol/g and 13.56 mmol/g at 0 °C and 25 °C, respectively. The adsorption results showed that CO 2 concentration in multi-component gas decreased from 48.75 to 12.9%, and H 2 concentration increased from 38.75 to 75.45%. Therefore, Cu-BTC has the potential for removal of CO 2 from SCWG syngas, and more work is necessary to further improve the adsorption capacity and selectivity. Graphical abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) could serve as multifunctional nanoplatforms to load small-molecule drugs and enzyme-mimicking nanoparticles (NPs) with a high efficiency for combined cancer therapy. Herein, we have prepared novel 2D Cu-tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) nanosheets with an average thickness of 1.2 ± 0.1 nm using Cu2O nanocubes (50 nm) as a template and solid copper ion supplier. Cu2O nanocubes can be consumed and hybridized with the obtained Cu-TCPP, depending on the molar ratio of Cu2O and TCPP linker. The resultant Cu2O/Cu-TCPP could serve as nanoplatforms for co-loading of Pt and Au NPs to construct multifunctional Cu2O/Cu-TCPP/(Pt–Au) nanomedicines, which showed a superior anticancer effect via multiple therapeutic modes. For instance, Cu(II)-TCPP can produce 1O2 in the presence of acidic H2O2 by the Russell mechanism and the intrinsic Cu(I) ions (derived from the residual Cu2O) could mediate a Fenton-like reaction in tumorous tissues to generate toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Moreover, the loaded Pt NPs with catalase (CAT)-mimic activity could decompose hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into O2 within the tumor cells, increasing the local O2 concentration, modulating the tumorous hypoxia atmosphere, and promoting the O2-dependent glucose oxidation reaction. Furthermore, Au NPs with glucose oxidase (GOx)-mimic activity could accelerate the consumption of glucose and cut nutrient supply to induce starvation therapy. Consequently, our designed 2D MOF-based therapeutic nanomedicines would be a promising candidate for future smart and combined cancer therapy.

Selective and sensitive identification of paraoxon residue in agricultural products is greatly significant for food safety but remains a challenging task. Herein, a detection platform was developed by integrating Cu nanoclusters (Cu NCs) with MnO2nanosheets, where the fluorescence of Cu NCs was effectively quenched. Upon introducing butyrylcholinesterase and butyrylcholine into the system, their hydrolysate, thiocholine, leads to the decomposition of the platform through a reaction between the MnO2nanosheets and thiol groups on thiocholine. The electron-rich groups on thiocholine can further promote the fluorescence intensity of Cu NCs through host–guest interactions. Adding paraoxon results in the failure of fluorescence recovery and further promotion, which could be utilized for the quantitative detection of paraoxon, and a limit of detection as low as 0.22 ng/mL can be achieved. The detection platform shows strong tolerance to common interference species, which endows its applications for the detection of paraoxon in vegetables and fruit. These presented results not only open a new door for the functionalization of metal nanoclusters but also offer an inspiring strategy for analytic techniques in nanomedicine and environmental science.Keywords:organophosphorus pesticides;fluorometry assay;metal nanoclusters;MnO2nanosheets;fluorescence quenching

The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria and the lack of effective antimicrobial agents have posed a threat to public safety, so a new efficient strategy is needed to deal with the increasing severity of bacteria. Herein, a substitute antibacterial agent with high stability and biocompatibility was synthesized by incorporating lysine hydrochloride and copper sulfate pentahydrate following the liquid-phase synthesis method. The composition and structure of the Cu( ii ) complex (Lys–Cu) were characterized by performing ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry, and single-crystal XRD. The crystal structure of Lys–Cu belongs to a monoclinic system, space group P 2 1 , with cell parameters of a = 5.14350(10), b = 16.8308(2), c = 11.4915(2) Å, Z = 2, and D = 1.548 g·cm −3 . Bacteriostatic tests were carried out on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus . The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of Lys–Cu against S. aureus were 0.3125 and 0.9250 mg·mL −1 , respectively. The MIC and MBC values of Lys–Cu against bacterial strain E. coli were 0.4685 and 0.9250 mg·mL −1 , respectively.

A catalytic membrane nanoreactor (CMNR) with Cu–Agx (where x is the millimolar concentration of AgNO3) bimetallic catalysts immobilized in membrane pores has been fabricated via coupling flowing synthesis and replacement reaction. Surface characterization by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) gives obvious evidence of the formation of Cu–Ag bimetallic core–shell nanostructures with Ag islands deposited on the Cu core metal. An apparent high shift phenomenon for the Cu element and a low shift phenomenon for the Ag element was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), indicating a close interaction with the transfer of electron density from the Cu atom to the Ag atom. The hydrogenation catalysis of p-nitrophenol (p-NP) was tested to evaluate the catalytic performance. During the catalytic process, the Cu core acts as an electron-deficient site to adsorb and activate the −NO2 group for p-NP, and the Ag shell is beneficial for enhancing active H spilling to the Cu surface and then performing hydrogenation. A volcano-shaped apparent reaction rate constant can be achieved, which rises initially with the increasing Ag content and subsequently drops with a further increase in the Ag content. The highest value of 1071 min–1 can be achieved for CMNR immobilized with Cu–Ag2 owing to the suitable adsorption activation behavior and the best hydrogen spillover behavior.

Quantum dots of I–III–VI ternary compounds exhibit unusual photophysical properties and technological utility, which attract attention and have been intensely investigated. CuInSe 2 quantum dots are an environmentally friendly composition, a direct transition, and an adjustable bandgap. Here, we discuss the influence of the Cu/In molar ratio of CuInSe 2 quantum dots on Cu-related defects and photo-physical properties, and CuInSe 2 quantum dots are synthesized by a green, safe, and low-temperature method in triethylene glycol. The proportion of the +1 and +2 oxidation states of Cu in the quantum dots will change with the Cu/In molar atomic ratio. The +1-oxidation state of Cu will prolong the carrier recombination lifetime and provide favorable conditions for the transfer and collection of carriers. By adjusting for different defect types, we can better apply CISe quantum dots in devices and other fields.

Highly efficient synthesis of 1,4-pentanediol (1,4-PDO) from industrialized biomass-based products is still a challenge due to the inherent chemical stability of intermediate product γ-valerolactone. The aim of the present research was to evaluate the influence of the synthetic conditions of CuMgAl layered double hydroxides on their physicochemical properties as well as catalytic performance in pure ethyl levulinate hydrogenation to produce 1,4-PDO in fixed-bed reactors. Systematic characterization results demonstrated that the CuMgAl catalyst prepared with mixed alkali as the precipitant has appropriate amounts of acid-base sites and a higher electron cloud density of Cu, which could well activate the carbonyl functional groups in the substrate molecule, and thus excellent reaction performance can be obtained. Ultimately, two-stage-packed dual solid catalysts in fixed-bed reactors were designed for one-step conversion of industrial furfuryl alcohol (FOL) to 1,4-PDO through an alcoholysis hydrogenation integrated continuous process. 94.3% yield of 1,4-PDO can be obtained from FOL in this effective tandem reaction.

Low-temperature electrocatalytic reduction of nitric oxide (NORR) is promising for the low-cost, high-efficiency removal and utilization of nitric oxide (NO), which couples the two crucial industrial processes of denitration and synthetic ammonia. We reported a binary catalyst of Cu/P–TiO 2 for NORR process, which took advantages of the Cu electrocatalysts and porous TiO 2 . The increase of surface areas and channels can improve the adsorption of NO molecules. The decoration of the ultrafine Cu nanoparticles on the porous TiO 2 may prevent the agglomeration of ultrafine Cu nanoparticles. The as-prepared Cu/P–TiO 2 electrode exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity with a Faraday efficiency of 86.49% and NH 3 yield of 3520.80 μg·h −1 ·mg −1 in 0.1 M K 2 SO 4 at −0.3 V vs. RHE. The mechanism of the NORR reaction process with Cu/P–TiO2 catalysts was also discussed. This research may broaden the application areas of TiO 2 -based materials in the electrocatalysis and provide a new sight in the treatment of NO pollutants.
