Persulfate oxidation is a promising technology for air pollution control but still suffers from degrading refractory volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under mild conditions. Metal-doped metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a novel strategy to enhance persulfate activation and VOCs degradation. Herein, a novel bimetallic MIL-101 (Fe, Cu) is prepared for more effective degradation of gaseous benzene via persulfate activation. Under optimal conditions (Fe/Cu ratio of 1:4, persulfate concentration of 7 mM/L, pH of 5, and reaction temperature of 70 °C), the MIL-101(Fe1, Cu4) activated persulfate system achieves a benzene degradation efficiency of 79.1 %, a value significantly higher than that of MIL-101(Fe) (20.1 %). The enhanced performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺/Cu⁺ redox interactions facilitating the activation of persulfate and generation of radical species. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate an increase in the adsorption energy of MIL-101(Fe) in the presence of Cu doping from −3.46 eV to −5.92 eV along with a rise in the Fermi energy level from 0.5 eV to 1.33 eV, enhancing the electron density and mobility. A reaction energy diagram is provided to illustrate the reaction pathways and transition states involved in the degradation of benzene. Overall, the incorporation of Cu in MOFs significantly enhances the efficiency of persulfate-based oxidation systems toward VOCs degradation.

We have prepared a highly active and stable copper-doped nickel electrocatalyst. Cu/Ni-doped MFI-type protozeolite layered nanoclusters electrodes have a large electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) and good HER activity, as well as excellent durability. The addition of Cu greatly increases hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity under acidic conditions. At the same time, the in situ grown Cu2+1O provides some activity, and in addition, the interface constructed between Cu and Ni further generates sufficient electrochemically active surface area. The activated Cu/Ni-doped MFI-type layered nanoclusters required only a 385 mV overpotential to generate 10 mA cm−2, demonstrating efficient and stable activity with potential practical applications.

Until now, there have been many reports on the regulation of inorganic metal ions on the catalytic activity of nanozymes, but few reports on the regulation of anions (such as NO 2 − ) on enzyme activity. In this work, a copper-molybdenum doped carbon dots (Cu, Mo-CDs) with peroxidase-like (POD) activity was synthesized by simple one-step microwave digestion method. The Cu, Mo-CDs + NO 2 − system can promote 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidizing to blue oxidative product (oxTMB) due to the formation of ∙NO 2 free radical. While Hg 2+ was introduced into the system, the POD-like activity of Cu, Mo-CDs + NO 2 − system was inhibited due to the strong interaction and the electron transfer between Cu, Mo-CDs and Hg 2+ . The formation of ∙NO 2 and the electron transfer capability of Cu, Mo-CDs + Hg 2+ were confirmed through ESR spectra and FMN experiments. The bioenzyme-free colorimetric assay based on Cu, Mo-CDs nanozyme is used for detection of NO 2 − and Hg 2+ , showing lower detection limit (LOD) of 1.63 µg/L for NO 2 − , 0.13 µg/L for Hg 2+ , respectively and good recovery from 90.79 to 108.90%. The work paves a new way to design a nanozyme-based colorimetric protocol for traces NO 2 − and Hg 2+ residues in food analysis.

While neutral aqueous metal batteries, featuring cost-effectiveness and non-flammability, hold significant potential for large-scale energy storage, their practical application is hampered by the limited specific capacity of cathode materials (less than 500 mAh g −1 ). Herein, capacity-oriented CoS 2 and rate-optimized Co 9 S 8 cathodes are developed based on the aqueous copper ion system. The charge-storage mechanism is systematically investigated through a series of ex-situ tests and density functional theory calculations, focusing on the reversible transitions of Co 9 S 8 →Cu 7 S 4 →Cu 9 S 5 /Cu 1.8 S and CoS 2 →Cu 7 S 4 →Cu 2 S, which are associated with the redox reactions of Cu 2+ /Cu + ‖Co 2+ /Co and Cu 2+ /Cu + ‖S 2 2− /S 2− , respectively. The electrochemical results show that CoS 2 can exhibit a superior capacity of 619 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 after 400 cycles, while Co 9 S 8 maintains an outstanding rate performance of 497 mAh g −1 at 10 A g −1 (the retention rate is 95% compared to 521 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 ). As a proof of concept, an advanced CoS 2 //Zn hybrid aqueous battery demonstrates a working voltage of 1.20 V and a specific energy of 663 Wh kg cathode −1 . This work provides an alternative direction for developing sulfide cathodes in energetic aqueous metal batteries.

Germanous selenide (GeSe) is an emerging photoactive layer material due to its excellent photoelectric properties, low cost and environmental friendliness. However, severe carrier recombination in the GeSe photoactive layer remains a significant factor limiting the conversion efficiency of GeSe solar cells. In this study, the GeSe photoactive layers were doped copper chloride (CuCl 2 ) solution, enabling the distribution of Cu 2+ ions throughout the layer, primarily accumulating on the GeSe grain surface. Its impact on the carrier transport in the GeSe photoactive layer was studied by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, kelvin probe force microscopy, and transient photovoltage. The doping can not only increase the Fermi level of the GeSe, but also adjust the local built-in potential on grain boundaries, so that the charge carriers can be redistributed in the three-dimensional space. Notably, at the grain boundaries, the hole flow before doping changes to electron flow, effectively reduces the recombination probability of charge carriers, and increases the carrier lifetime from 200.23 to 374.57 μs. As a result, the conversion efficiency after processing with CuCl 2 is increased from 1.98 % to 3.01 %. This study provides a reference for understanding the carrier kinetics in GeSe solar cells to improve the photoelectric conversion performance of the device.

Background In vitro screening strategies based on the inhibition of α-glucosidase (GAA) activity have been widely used for the discovery of potential antidiabetic drugs, but they still face some challenges, such as poor enzyme stability, non-reusability and narrow range of applicability. To overcome these limitations, an in vitro screening method based on GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF reactor was developed in our previous study. However, the method was still not satisfactory enough in terms of construction cost, pH stability, organic solvent resistance and reusability. Thence, there is still a great need for the development of in vitro screening methods with lower cost and wider applicability. Results A colorimetric sensing strategy based on GAA/(Au–Au/IrO 2 )@Cu(PABA) cascade catalytic reactor, which constructed through simultaneous encapsulating Au–Au/IrO 2 nanozyme with glucose oxidase-mimicking and peroxidase-mimicking activities and GAA in Cu(PABA) carrier with peroxidase-mimicking activity, was innovatively developed for in vitro screening of GAA inhibitors in this work. It was found that the reactor not only exhibited excellent thermal stability, pH stability, organic solvent resistance, room temperature storage stability, and reusability, but also possessed cascade catalytic performance, with approximately 12.36-fold increased catalytic activity compared to the free system (GAA + Au–Au/IrO 2 ). Moreover, the in vitro GAA inhibitors screening method based on this reactor demonstrated considerable anti-interference performance and detection sensitivity, with a detection limit of 4.79 nM for acarbose. Meanwhile, the method owned good reliability and accuracy, and has been successfully applied to the in vitro screening of oleanolic acid derivatives as potential GAA inhibitors. Significance This method not only more effectively solved the shortcomings of poor stability, narrow scope of application, and non-reusability of natural enzymes in the classical method compared with our previous work, but also broaden the application scope of Au–Au/IrO 2 nanozyme with glucose oxidase and peroxidase mimicking activities, and Cu(PABA) carrier with peroxidase mimicking activity, which was expected to be a new generation candidate method for GAA inhibitor screening.

It is difficult to depress secondary copper sulfide minerals in the separative flotation of copper–molybdenum coexisting ores with a huge NaHS consumption, and causing serious safety and environmental problems. Galvanic interaction between active metallic granular (low consumption depressant; LCD) and secondary copper sulfide mineral particles can induce surface passivation, thereby depressing its floatability and achieving clean and efficient regulation of copper molybdenum separation. The use of 10% LCD was applied at the first stage and 5 kg/t NaHS at the second stage can recover 89.71% of Cu, while only 52.89% of Cu can be recovered for single stage flotation where 20 kg/t NaHS was used without any presence of LCD. To avoid the negative effect of Mg(OH) 2 colloids at higher pH at the second stage, sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) was added as a dispersant and Mo recovery could be pulled up to 89.63%.

Organophosphorus pesticides, commonly used in agricultural practices, remain as residues in food and the environment, presenting a significant risk to human health. The removal of these pesticides is essential to protect both human health and the environment. This study presents an in-situ synthesis technique that combines Cu-MOF (ZZU-282) with electrospinning technology to create a novel cross-linked MOF fiber membrane (cross-linked Cu-MOF-PAN FM, with PAN representing Polyacrylonitrile). The coexistence of micro/meso/macropores within the cross-linked Cu-MOF-PAN FM reduces mass transfer resistance and improves its pesticide removal capacity. The half-life for chlorpyrifos removal by the cross-linked Cu-MOF-PAN FM is about 18 s. The Langmuir model estimates the theoretical maximum removal capacity for chlorpyrifos at 208.3 mg g –1 . Additionally, the removal performance of organophosphorus pesticides is tested in simulated water samples, with results showing that over 70 % of six mixed organophosphorus pesticides are removed within 10 min using the proposed FM. The cross-linked Cu-MOF-PAN FM demonstrates superior efficiency in both rapid and sustained removal of organophosphorus pesticides from water, offering promising potential for environmental applications and pollutant removal. Moreover, the cross-linking process enhances the membrane’s resistance to organic solvents. This in-situ growth and cross-linking method offers a promising approach for fabricating MOF fiber membrane composites.

Dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone is a vital step in manufacturing nylon; however, this endothermic reaction is unfavourable at low temperatures. In this work, a high-entropy oxide (Cu0.75Zn0.15Mg7.1Al1Sc1O11-HEO) was synthesized from a well-structured Cu0.75Zn0.15Mg7.1Al1Sc1(OH)20CO3 layered double hydroxide. Characterization results disclosed that Cu0.75Zn0.15Mg7.1Al1Sc1O11-HEO possesses a large specific surface area (157 m2 g−1), enhanced basicity and high Cu dispersion in the framework of HEO (74.0%). The reduced Cu0.75Zn0.15Mg7.1Al1Sc1O11-HEO catalyst was highly active and stable in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol compared with Cu-based catalysts prepared using binary, ternary, and quaternary mixed metal oxides. More interestingly, the conversion of cyclohexanol could be enhanced when acetone was used as the solvent and/or hydrogen acceptor. Thus, it was confirmed that the addition of acetone can enhance the yield of cyclohexanone and simultaneously result in the hydrogenation of acetone to isopropanol.

Copper (Cu) nanoparticles have been widely used as catalysts for colorimetric assays. The challenge in developing Cu nanoparticles is to design nanomaterials with high catalytic activity and stability. Herein, a series of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)@Cu (Ti-MOF@Cu) composites with enzyme activity were obtained by in situ growth of different proportions of copper on titanium-based metal organic frameworks (Ti-MOFs), among which [email protected] showed the highest enzyme activity. Electron transfer at the interface of Ti-MOF and Cu promoted the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) to generate active species under near-neutral conditions, thereby oxidizing colorless TMB to blue oxidized TMB (ox-TMB). On this basis, a sulfide ion (S 2− ) detection method based on a [email protected] colorimetric sensor was constructed, in which the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.16 μM in the linear range of 0.5–30 μM. Furthermore, [email protected] was successfully used for detecting S 2− in water samples. The successful synthesis of Ti-MOF@Cu provides new insights for further study of the enzyme-like activity of copper-based materials, and the constructed facile and sensitive sensor system has broad application prospects.

The combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and machine learning algorithm provides an effective means for the identification of pharmacodynamic substances. This paper reported a biomimetic synthesis route of Ag-30/SiO 2 -4/Cu-20/rice leaf (Ag-30/SiO 2 -4/Cu-20/RL) SERS platform with multiple synergistic electromagnetic enhanced performance. The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect was strengthened as the SiO 2 nanolayer generated between Ag and Cu. This SERS platform demonstrated high sensitivity, with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 1 × 10 −10 M for 4-Aminophenylthiophenol (4-ATP) and an enhancement factor (EF) of 3.86 × 10 6 . More importantly, the principal component analysis (PCA) was adopted to analyze the SERS data of three different Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pharmacodynamic substances (Orientin, Atractylenolide III and Prim-o-glucosylcimifugin). The K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and Naïve Bayes (NB) achieved classification accuracy of 0.9474 and 0.9649, respectively. The platform provides guidance for the accurate identification of TCM pharmacodynamic substances.

Here, micron-sized high-entropy alloy (HEA) electrocatalysts (FeCoNiMoCr, Cr-HEA; FeCoNiMoCu, Cu-HEA) with dual-phase heterostructures were fabricated by mechanical alloying and subsequently loaded onto nickel foam (NF) to form the working electrode, exhibiting excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Specifically, the Cr-HEA/NF exhibits an overpotential of 271 mV at current density of 10 mA/cm 2 and a small Tafel slope of 69.1 mV/dec in 1 mol/L KOH solution, outperforming the performance of Cu-HEA/NF, commercial RuO 2 /NF and bare NF. HEA catalysts achieve outstanding long-term stability, as evidenced by chronopotentiometry (1 mol/L KOH for 48 h @10 mA/cm 2 and 6 mol/L KOH at 85 °C for 100 h @500 mA/cm 2 ) and chronoamperometry (1 mol/L KOH for 100 h @100 mA/cm 2 ). The impressive OER activity and stability of Cr-HEA can be attributed to the highly heterogeneous nested interfaces between amorphous and metastable nanocrystals, as well as the in-situ formation of multiphase structures. Notably, both density functional theory calculations and experimental results demonstrate that the synergistic interactions among the metal active sites in HEA collectively regulate the adsorption and desorption of oxygen-containing intermediates, thereby enhancing the OER catalytic activity. Specifically, the Cr-HEA presents a lower Gibbs free energy change during the transformation from O* to OOH*, resulting in a reduced overpotential.
