In this study, CuO-CoOx/SBA-15 catalysts were successfully synthesized via ultrasonic impregnation, and their performance in degrading nitrobenzene within a Fenton-like system was investigated. The catalyst materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope(TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The CuO-CoOx/SBA-15 catalysts featured well-distributed CuO-CoOx nanoparticles within the mesoporous SBA-15 support. Compared to CuO/SBA-15 and Co3O4/SBA-15 catalysts with similar microstructures, the CuO-CoOx/SBA-15 catalysts exhibited Cu-Co dual active centers and a higher abundance of redox-active sites. During catalytic degradation, H2O2 was continuously activated on the catalyst surface through efficient Cu+/Cu2+ and Co2+/Co3+ redox cycles. The experimental conditions (initial pH, catalyst dosage, and H2O2 dosage) were optimized, resulting in 99% nitrobenzene removal over a wide pH range (3.0–9.0). The primary mechanisms for the oxidation and subsequent removal of nitrobenzene in the CuO-CoOx/SBA-15-H2O2 system were identified as reactions with hydroxyl radicals (·OH).

A series of MoS 2 -modified CuO (CuO/MoS 2 ) heterostructures were successfully fabricated. The photodegradation properties of organic dyes were explored in detail under visible light. The photocatalytic results demonstrate that the CuO/MoS 2 -3 heterostructure delivers superior degradation rates towards methyl violet dye (MV) and rhodamine B (RhB), reaching 99.8% and 95.3% within 30 min, respectively. The decent photodegradation activity is due to improved visible light adsorption and faster transfer of electron-hole pairs. The radical trapping experiments show that superoxide radicals (· O 2 - ) and holes (h + ) are the main active species in the removal of MV. Furthermore, the CuO/MoS 2 -3 composite possesses the prominent stability and recyclability. This work offers a highly sustainable technique for designing a high-efficiency photocatalyst to remove environmental pollutants.

Adsorbents with high selectivity and adsorption capacity are of significant interest for the removal of dye pollutants. Herein, we report a facile low-temperature solvothermal synthesis of clew-like Cu2O/CuO microspheres by using cupric acetate monohydrate as the copper resource and ethylene glycol as the solvent and morphology modulator. The synthesized Cu2O/CuO microspheres showed high selective adsorption to anionic dyes (e.g., methyl orange (MO) and Reactive Red 2 (RR2)) rather than to cationic dyes (e.g., methylene blue (MB), Rhodamine B (RhB)). MO was then selected to evaluate the parameters of adsorption due to the adsorbent exhibiting the highest adsorption capacity for MO. We demonstrate that the adsorption of MO by Cu2O/CuO microspheres has a good correlation with the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm with a maximum adsorption capacity of 826.45 mg/g, which is higher than that of previously reported metal oxide material adsorbents. The excellent adsorption ability of clew-like Cu2O/CuO microspheres to MO may be attributed to the synergistic effects of electrostatic attraction, unique hierarchical structure, and crystal defects of the prepared Cu2O/CuO microspheres. We believe our work provides new insight into the synthesis of high-performance adsorbents.

Dopamine (DA) is an important catecholamine neurotransmitter and its abnormal concentration is closely related to diseases such as hypertension, Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia. Due to the advantages of high sensitivity and fast response for electrochemiluminescence (ECL), developing ECL sensors for detecting DA was very critical in clinical diagnosis. ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) was an effective signaling mechanism. However, the shortage of highly efficient ECL-RET pairs impeded the development of DA sensors. Herein, methyl-modified perylene diimide derivative (PDI-CH3) self-assembly nanorod materials as luminophores and CuO nanomaterials as acceptors were integrated into nanocomposites. An obvious ECL-RET was found in PDI-CH3/CuO nanocomposites. After PDI-CH3/CuO nanocomposites were treated with DA, a large increase in ECL intensity was observed. Then, PDI-CH3/CuO nanocomposites were taken as an ECL platform to detect DA. This ECL sensor exhibited a linear response to DA from 10−12M to 10−8M with a limit of detection of 0.20 pM. Compared with other sensors for DA detection, the constructed ECL sensor exhibited higher sensitivity. In addition, the novel ECL sensor in this work showed good practicability in a human serum sample.

Microfiltration exhibits advantage in wastewater treatment because of its higher permeability than ultrafiltration , nanofiltration and reverse osmosis . However, pollutants smaller than the membrane pores are difficult to be separated, resulting in a low removal efficiency. In this work, we fabricate a CuO/carbon membrane for small-sized organic pollutants removal by introducing electrocatalytic oxidation to microfiltration. In order to improve the electrocatalytic performance of membrane, a facile dynamic electrodeposition method is developed, by which CuO electrocatalysts are uniformly deposited on both the surface and pore walls of a coal-based carbon membrane. The prepared dynamic electrodeposited CuO/carbon membrane (DECuO/CM) has superior removal ability over the original carbon membrane (CM) and the conventional electrodeposited CuO/carbon membrane (CECuO/CM). The Rhodamine B (RhB), COD and TOC removal efficiencies of the DECuO/CM reach 99.96%, 71.82% and 64.29%, respectively, which are about 18.7-20.1 and 1.5-1.8 times higher than that of the CM and the CECuO/CM. Meanwhile, DECuO/CM shows higher permeability (823.03 L/(m 2 h bar)) over CM (637.99 L/(m 2 h bar)) and CECuO/CM (706.27 L/(m 2 h bar)). Moreover, DECuO/CM has good sustainability because the RhB removal efficiency maintains above 93% after 5 repeated tests. The extensive applicability of the DECuO/CM is also proved with high removal efficiencies (all above 96%) when treating other three typical small-sized organic pollutants (phenol, bisphenol A and amoxicillin), respectively. Thus, the prepared DECuO/CM shows great potential for small-sized organic pollutants removal with both high permeability and removal efficiency. The dynamic electrodeposition is a promising approach to prepare high-performance electrocatalytic membranes for wastewater treatment.

Fe 3 O 4 -CuO@montmorillonite was prepared using coprecipitation method, and its structure was determined by XRD, IR, and transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Montmorillonite in Fe 3 O 4 -CuO@montmorillonite nanocomposite allowed the silicate layer of montmorillonite to behave as a barrier, which prevented the agglomeration and natural crystallization of Fe 3 O 4 and CuO. Furthermore, the chlorine dioxide (ClO 2 ) oxidative degradation of anthracene-contaminated soil was studied in detail using Fe 3 O 4 -CuO@montmorillonite as a magnetic heterogeneous catalyst. The operating parameters such as ClO 2 concentration, catalyst dosage, reaction time, and pH were evaluated. Compared with the conventional ClO 2 oxidation process without the catalyst, the ClO 2 catalytic oxidation system could significantly enhance the degradation efficiency. Under the optimal condition (anthracene concentration 89.8 mg/kg, water soil mass ratio 3:1, initial pH 7, ClO 2 concentration 1 mol/kg, catalyst dosage 1 g/kg, reaction time 30 min, and reaction temperature 25 °C), anthracene degradation efficiency achieved 96.2 %. The catalyst could be easily reused by magnetic separation and used at least 8 cycles without obvious loss of activity. The kinetic studies revealed that the ClO 2 catalytic oxidation degradation of anthracene-contaminated soil with Fe 3 O 4 -CuO@montmorillonite as catalyst followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with respect to ClO 2 concentration. Thus, this study showed potential application of ClO 2 catalytic oxidation process in remediation of organic pollutant-contaminated soil.

Simple and traditional hydrothermal fabrication of a novel balsam pear-shaped CuO with high SERS enhancement is presented. XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electronic microscopy), TEM (transmission electron microscope), HRTEM (high-resolution transmission electron microscope), UV-Vis, and Raman are adopted to ensure that this balsam pear-shaped CuO with dense nanoparticle protuberance is successfully prepared. The LOD of this CuO SERS substrate is 4.79 μg L −1 with R6G as molecular probe. By using DFT (density functional theory) calculation and FDTD (finite difference time domainmethod) simulation, both EM (electromagnetic enhancement) and CM (chemical enhancement) mechanisms are investigated, and the results show that these two-enhancement mechanisms can coexist in this balsam pear-shaped CuO. Finally, the prepared substrate has been applied for the determination of trace levels of paraquat in solution , and results show that its LOD for paraquat is 275 μg L −1 (optimum Raman band: 1646 cm −1 Raman shift), which is better than the government standard in China. A dexterous and facile way for fabrication of CuO SERS-active substrates with low cost and high performance, quite promising in detection of chemically hazardous substances and pesticide residue is provided.

In order to improve the mechanical and combustion properties of composite solid propellant, the CuO@AP with core–shell structure was prepared by solvent–nonsolvent recrystallization method, and it was applied to AP/HTPB composite solid propellant. The thermal decomposition properties, sensitivity properties and tensile properties of CuO@AP propellant were studied and compared with ultrafine AP propellant, ultrafine spherical AP propellant and the mixture of CuO and AP (CuO/AP) propellant. The results show that the E a of ultrafine spherical AP propellant is 8.16% lower than that of ultrafine AP propellant with the same particle size, and the rate constant increases by 13.64%; the E a of the CuO@AP propellant is 23.63% lower than that of CuO/AP propellant with ultrafine AP of the same particle size, and the rate constant increases by 172.7%. What’s more, the catalytic effect of CuO@AP is obviously better than that of CuO/AP. The impact sensitivity of ultrafine spherical AP propellant is 29.61% lower than that of ultrafine AP propellant with the same particle size, and the ε b is increased by 51.35%. The impact sensitivity of the CuO@AP propellant is 25.38% lower than that of CuO/AP propellant with ultrafine AP of the same particle size, and the ε b is increased by 63.76%. The above shows that the CuO@AP composite particles with core–shell structure have potential application prospects in AP/HTPB propellant.

Constructing CuO-based nanofibrous membranes with remarkable mechanical performance, controllable nanostructures, and outstanding catalytic oxidation activity would be conducive to decomposing organic contaminants in wastewater through advanced oxidation processes; however, there remains a huge shortfall of such ceramic membranes that they are usually fragile with poor deformability. Herein, a universal approach was proposed for fabricating flexible CuO nanoparticles-anchored ZrO 2 nanofibrous membranes (CZNMs), that is, through the combination of successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) assembly and the follow-up thermal oxidation processes. Notably, the developed preparation method exhibited strong expansibility, which could be extended to the synthesis of other flexible metal oxides/ceramic nanofibrous composites, such as ZnO/ZrO 2 , CdO/ZrO 2 , and Mn 3 O 4 /ZrO 2 . Profiting from the integrated advantages of superior catalytic reactivity, uniform nanostructures distribution, and excellent mechanical properties, the resultant CZNMs displayed a prominent degradation efficiency of 92.4% within 50 min towards tetracycline hydrochloride under the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Furthermore, the stable hierarchical structures and robust mechanical performance endow the as-synthesized membranes with extraordinary reusability and easy recycling. The successful preparation of such ceramic-based nanofibrous membranes with superior flexibility and high-efficient catalytic performance might provide some reference to develop other synergetic membranous catalysts for wastewater treatment.

High-performance gas sensors have huge application prospects and consumer demands in environmental monitoring, public security and other fields. Nevertheless, the conductive type metal oxide gas sensors prepared by traditional coating or dropping technology encounter challenges in low detection limit and excellent replication, hardly meeting the actual needs of trace harmful gas detection and mass production. Here, a uniform and high-quality CuO sensing film is formed quickly and efficiently by inkjet printing technology , which is expected to realize mass preparation of high-performance formaldehyde sensors. The CuO sensor can reach as low as 50 ppb formaldehyde detection limit, satisfying the monitor needs of the World Health Organization’s specified value 80 ppb. In addition, the gas sensors in each batch exhibit outstanding repeatability and stability with small deviation, and the relative mean deviations toward formaldehyde in the aspect of response, response and recovery times are all about only 5% between batches. The controllable micro-nano-level film thickness and uniform surface achieved by inkjet printing technology are the compelling reasons for low detection limit and superb reproducibility of gas sensors. Our work can offer a theoretical and experimental basis for large-scaled production of high-performance gas sensors from research to practical application.

Exploiting photocatalysts/catalysts with characteristics of low cost, high reactivity and easy recovery is of great significance for energy efficiency and environmental remediation. Herein, CuO/TiO 2 hybrid nanofibers with different CuO contents were fabricated by a simple and low-cost method of electrospinning followed with calcinations in air. The hybrid nanofibers possess some distinct merits including mesoporous structure, extended light response range, and large TiO 2 /CuO interface. The CuO/TiO 2 hybrid nanofibers showed improved photocatalytic activity for organic dye degradation under both simulated sunlight (UV–vis) and visible light (λ > 420 nm), compared with pure TiO 2 nanofibers. Both processes exhibited humplike activity dependence upon CuO addition, with a peak at 1 wt.%-CuO content under UV–vis light and a peak at 5 wt.%-CuO content under visible light, respectively. The mechanism for the CuO-content dependent photocatalysis was discussed with the photoelectrochemical analysis in evidence. Moreover, the CuO/TiO 2 hybrid nanofibers exhibited very high catalytic efficiency for the reduction of nitrophenols by sodium borohydride, and the apparent reaction rate constants ascended with the increased CuO content. The optimized CuO/TiO 2 nanofibers are expected to act a highly efficient catalyst to replace the noble metals in this field. Therefore, this work demonstrated a convenient case for the exploitation of noble-metal-free catalysts with high efficiency, to meet the increasing demands of industrial applications at reduced costs.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors have shown great promise in bioanalysis and diagnostic applications in recent years. In this work, the CuO/Cu 2 O nanowire array (CuO/Cu 2 O Nanowire) supported on copper foam was prepared as a photocathode for detection of tyrosinase though quinone-chitosan conjugation chemistry method. The in-situ generated quinones that were the catalytic product of tyrosinase acted as electron acceptors, which were captured by the chitosan deposited on the surface of the electrode. Direct immobilization of electron acceptor on the electrode surface improved the photocurrent conversion efficiency and thus sensitivity. The as-prepared biosensor can realize a rapid response in a wide linear range of 0.05 U/mL to 10 U/mL with the detection limit as low as 0.016 U/mL of tyrosinase. The current work provides a new perspective to design and develop highly sensitive and selective PEC biosensor.
