Photo-Fenton degradation as a promising strategy for antibiotic wastewater treatment attracted extensive attention, while the unsatisfactory catalytic performance vitally limits its industrial application. Herein, we demonstrate that confining atomically dispersed Cu into C3N4 (Cu–C3N4) enables fast H2O2 activation and efficient separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, resulting in a dramatic improvement of the degradation efficiency of the Photo-Fenton reaction. Photo-Fenton degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) was close to 99% within 30 min over optimized Cu–C3N4, corresponding to a pseudo-first-order rate constant of ∼0.0978 min–1, almost 4.5 times higher than pure C3N4 counterpart. The electron paramagnetic resonance, quenching experiments, and X-ray absorption fine structure results reveal that the superior Photo-Fenton catalytic performance is attributed to a nonradical reaction pathway, where the H2O2 is activated by the formation of the O═Cu–N4═O intermediate. The advanced catalyst as well as the refreshing H2O2 activation mechanism are of profound significance for the materials design in the wastewater treatment field.

A series of supported and bulk Cu–Mn–Ce ternary oxide catalysts was synthesized by wet-impregnation (IM), deposition–precipitation (DP), traditional co-precipitation (CP), co-precipitation with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CC), and sol–gel (SG) methods. The supported catalysts (CuMn/Ce-IM, CuMn/Ce-DP) exhibited significantly higher activity for CO oxidation than the bulk catalysts (CuMnCe-CP, CuMnCe-CC and CuMnCe-SG). The improved performance could be attributed to the presence of more isolated CuO and MnO x entities on the surface of supported catalysts, which contributed to the efficient utilization of both lattice oxygen from CeO 2 and spillover oxygen from surface MnO x . For bulk catalysts, major Cu–Mn species were doped to form \({\text{C}}{{\text{u}}_{\text{x}}}{\text{M}}{{\text{n}}_{\text{y}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{e}}_{1 - {\text{x}} - {\text{y}}}}{{\text{O}}_{2 - {\text{z}}}}\) solid solutions and a part of them were coated by ceria mechanically. Lowest 50% CO conversion temperature were achieved at 76.9 °C for CuMn/Ce-IM catalyst. Low-temperature CO oxidation activities of all catalysts were in the sequence of CuMn/Ce-IM > CuMn/Ce-DP > CuMnCe-SG > CuMnCe-CC > CuMnCe-CP. Graphical Abstract

Copper catalysts have garnered considerable interest as promising active metals for upgrading biomass resources, especially in selective furfural (FF) hydrogenation reaction. However, effectively enhancing the interactions between active metals and supports while providing abundant surface reaction sites remains enormous challenge to improve catalytic performance. Herein, we present a unique hydrotalcite-derived Cu-based catalyst featuring well-dispersed Cu 0 /Cu + nanodots towards selectively hydrogenated FF to furfuryl alcohol (FA). Impressively, the optimized CuMg 3 Al-R catalyst exhibits the exceptional hydrogenation performance, achieving almost 100 % FF conversion and 99.3 % FA selectivity. Comprehensive studies reveal that the small sized Cu species with well dispersion, the synergistic effect of Cu 0 and Cu + , combined with the selective adsorption and activation of C O groups jointly contribute to the enhanced catalytic performance. This work offers a promising strategy to rationally design well-dispersed Cu species for the selective hydrogenation of C O groups, which holds great significance for biomass-related hydrogenation reaction.

Fabrication and characterization of solution-processed, all-inorganic quantum dots (QDs) light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) incorporating colloidal CdSe/ZnS QDs are presented. Using a simple solvothermal process, Cu-doped NiO nanocrystals were fabricated and applied as a hole transport layer in all inorganic QLEDs. Cu-doped NiO nanocrystals are ascribed to bunsenite cubic structure. The transmittance of the film is more than 81%. The hole-only devices of Au/QDs/Cu–NiO/ITO structures showed that 5% mol Cu doped NiO film obtained the largest hole current. The resulting devices show pure QD electroluminescent emissions with a maximum electroluminescence brightness of 2258 cd/m2 after doping 5% mol Cu in NiO, which is almost 4-fold compared with that of intrinsic NiO due to the enhanced carrier concentration and conductivity. The current efficiency and EQE of the assembled all-inorganic QLED exhibited the maximum values of 1.18 cd/A and 1.223%, respectively.

Microwave dielectric ceramics with excellent properties and low sintering temperatures are pursued saving energy and cofiring with metal electrodes (especially Ag, Cu). Herein, a low-firing Na 2 CaTi 2 Ge 3 O 12 garnet was fabricated via a simple solid-state method. XRD , SEM, Raman spectrum, and dielectric characterization were used to reveal the influence of sintering temperature on crystal structure and dielectric properties . A single-phase Na 2 CaTi 2 Ge 3 O 12 ceramic densified at 960 °C has the optimized dielectric properties with ε r = 15.3 ± 0.2, Q × f = 55,900 ± 2000 GHz, and τ f = −15.7 ± 0.5 ppm/°C. The infrared (IR) spectrum was applied to estimate the intrinsic contribution of lattice vibration to microwave dielectric properties. The anti-reductive feature of Na 2 CaTi 2 Ge 3 O 12 ceramic was evaluated via sintering at a reducing atmosphere while cofiring with Cu electrodes. The good chemical compatibility with Ag and Cu electrodes manifests the potential prospect of Na 2 CaTi 2 Ge 3 O 12 ceramic in the low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) application.

Fast and deep debromination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) under mild conditions is a challenge in the field of pollution control. A strategy was developed to achieve it by exploiting Cu/TiO2 composites as a noble-metal-free catalyst. Toward the debromination of 2,2′,4,4′-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE47) as a typical PBDE, the use of Cu/TiO2 as a catalyst and hydrazine hydrate (N2H4·H2O) as a reducing agent yielded a degradation removal of 100% and a debromination efficiency of 87.7% in 3 s. A complete debromination of BDE47 at 1500 mg L–1 was possible by successively adding N2H4·H2O. A debromination pathway involving active H atom species was proposed for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of PBDEs according to the identified degradation intermediates. A mechanism was further clarified by density functional theory calculations: electrons are delivered from N2H4·H2O to the metallic Cu atom via a coordination of N in N2H4·H2O with Cu atoms. The electron-trapped Cu atom interacts with adsorbed BDE47 to form a transition complex, and then the debromination of this complex occurs on the surface of Cu nanoparticles due to the hydrogen donation of N2H4·H2O through the CTH process. The new method provides a highly efficient method to remove brominated pollutants.

Due to the slow kinetics of oxygen evolution at the anode, the efficiency of electrocatalytic water decomposition is critically reduced, and its large-scale application is severely restricted. Therefore, it is urgent to develop electrocatalysts with excellent performance and stability to accelerate the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) reaction kinetics. Herein, a self-supporting binder-free electrocatalyst was successfully prepared using in situ grown Cu(OH)2 nanowires on CF as the carrier to grow ZIF-67 via a room temperature immersion method. The combination of Cu(OH)2 nanowires and the unique structure of ZIF-67 forms a three-dimensional nanostructured catalyst, in which the unique structure and the existence of synergy may contribute to a larger electrochemical active surface area, expose more electrochemically active sites, adjust the electronic structure, and accelerate the rate of electron transfer, thus greatly improving the electrocatalytic activity and durability for OER. The as-prepared Cu(OH)2@ZIF-67/CF exhibited excellent OER performance under alkaline conditions and required overpotentials of 205 mV and 276 mV to drive current densities of 10 mA cm−2 and 100 mA cm−2, respectively, with a small Tafel slope of 70.5 mV dec−1 for OER. The stability test of Cu(OH)2@ZIF-67/CF at the current density of 10 mA cm−2 displayed excellent stability for 22 h. This study provides a feasible strategy for the rapid preparation of low-cost and efficient electrocatalysts in alkaline media.

Transformation of multifunctional homogeneous catalysts to the corresponding heterogeneous catalytic systems makes catalytic reactions interesting from both economic and environmental points of view. Here, we have devised a controllable and efficient strategy for the preparation of supported multifunctional catalysts by taking the Cu/2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) catalytic system as an example. Polystyrene-supported Cu/TEMPO catalysts were, for the first time, prepared via nanoprecipitation of polymers in water and efficient for aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BnOH). Cooperative behaviors could be regulated by precise control of local concentrations of functional groups. We have demonstrated that the incorporation of functional groups into polystyrene supports can make better use of catalytic components, resulting from confinement-enhanced cooperation. This strategy provides access to build more efficient multifunctional heterogeneous catalysts through establishing structure–activity relationships.

Abstract Fe 3 O 4 @Cu/C and Fe 3 O 4 @CuO composites were achieved using nanoparticle-encapsulated MOFs Fe 3 O 4 @HKUST-1 as both a precursor and a self-sacrificing template. Fe 3 O 4 @HKUST-1 was thermally converted into magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @Cu/C and Fe 3 O 4 @CuO composites in different atmosphere (N 2 and air). The resulting composites not only kept superparamagnetic characteristics, but also exhibited improved peroxidase-like catalytic activity and high stability when compared to the precursor Fe 3 O 4 @HKUST-1. The morphology, crystal structure, magnetic and porous properties of Fe 3 O 4 @Cu/C and Fe 3 O 4 @CuO composites were characterized, and the kinetics parameters and the influence factors on the peroxidase-mimicking activity such as temperature, pH and H 2 O 2 concentration were evaluated. On account of the excellent peroxidase-like activity, the as-prepared Fe 3 O 4 @Cu/C and Fe 3 O 4 @CuO composites were successfully used for the catalytic removal of methylene blue (MB) dye with H 2 O 2 oxidant. This work provides an effective way to fabricate highly reactive MOFs-derived biomimetic catalysts, which have potential applications in bioassays and pollutant degradation. Graphic Abstract Fe 3 O 4 @Cu/C and Fe 3 O 4 @CuO composites were achieved using Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticle-encapsulated HKUST-1 as self-sacrificial templates and demonstrated excellent peroxidase-like activity.

Treatment of organic wastewater is of great importance and can be carried out by catalysis technologies such as catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO). A novel bimetallic Fe-Cu-CNT catalyst was first developed by a facile hydrothermal method; Fe species (Fe (Ⅱ) and Fe (Ⅲ)) and Cu species (Cu (Ⅰ) and Cu (Ⅱ)) were used to fabricate the catalyst with the CNTs, which was stable during testing. Methylene blue (MB) was chosen as model compound for the study; the optimization for treatment by the Box-Behnken design indicated that a combination of low pH, high MB concentration and intermediate temperature led to better treatment performance. The CWPO reaction obeyed the 2 nd -order kinetic equation and the catalyst activity increased with an increase in the Cu content. The reaction induction period was shortened with decreasing Fe:Cu ratio. The cycling reaction between Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ and Cu 2+ /Cu + pairs generated a large number of oxidative radicals and improved the pollutant degradation efficiency. Finally, the reaction rate equation of CWPO over Fe-Cu-CNT was derived, and it was experimentally illustrated that hydroxyl radicals played a crucial role in the treatment. This study demonstrates that the optimized Fe-Cu-CNT has great potentials for treatment of organic wastewater with higher efficiency and lower cost.

Cu(II)-citrate (Cu(II)-CA) complex, as one of the components in plating solutions, increases the difficulty of Cu(II) treatment due to its stable structure and high mobility. In this work, a novel surface imprinted polymer (Cu-CA-SIP) for selective removal of Cu(II)-CA complex from aqueous solution is synthesized by using polyethyleneimine (PEI) grafted onto chloromethylated polystyrene (CMP) microspheres. Cu(II)-CA anions are successfully imprinted with the molar ration of 1:1 by Cu-CA-SIP at initial pH 4.0. Nearly 100% removal rate can be achieved even at low Cu(II)-CA concentration (0.5 mmol/L), and the maximum Cu(II) uptake of Cu-CA-SIP reaches 1.38 mmol/g at 303 K. In Cu(II)/Fe(III)-CA, Cu(II)/Ni(II)-CA, Cu(II)/Zn(II)-CA and Cu(II)/Cd(II)-CA systems, the relative selectivity coefficients of Cu-CA-SIP for Cu(II)-CA are 9.66, 2.32, 1.40 and 44.55, respectively. Moreover, Cu-CA-SIP can be retrieved with negligible loss of adsorption capacity after six times of reuse. The Cu-CA-SIP column can effectively treat the actual electroplating wastewater within 114 BV, and can still reach 104 BV after three dynamic cycles. Therefore, an innovative imprinted material is designed for the first time on the basis of coordination-configuration recognition mechanism for the treatment of electroplating wastewater, providing a new insight in developing surface imprinted polymer in environmental remediation.

The synergistic removal of multiple pollutants from flue gas has attracted growing interest in recent years. In this study, Cu-doped MnCeO x catalysts were synthesized via an impregnation method and integrated into PTFE fibers using a split-film process to enable the simultaneous removal of chlorobenzene (CB) and nitrogen oxide (NO). Among the catalysts tested, Mn 2 Ce 1 Cu 0.6 O x exhibited the highest performance, achieving 90 % CB degradation and 100 % NO conversion at 180 °C. The PTFE-based catalytic fibers also demonstrated excellent removal efficiency, reaching 83.7 % for dioxins at the same temperature. A possible reaction mechanism is proposed in which the NH 3 -SCR process facilitates CB oxidation by generating reactive intermediates. Cu doping was found to enhance the density of acid sites and promote the ring-opening of CB, thereby suppressing chlorine accumulation and improving catalyst stability. These findings provide valuable insights for the development and optimization of catalytic bag filters for the efficient, synergistic removal of multiple pollutants from industrial emissions.
