Cu/Al 2 O 3 catalyst was developed by a double hydrolysis precipitation. Over the Cu/Al 2 O 3 catalyst, a continuous mode of N-methylations of nitroarenes with methanol was successfully achieved under the exogenous base- and H 2 - free condition. Methylation process of nitroarenes could be controlled just by adjusting reaction conditions, affording the desired N-monomethylanilines or N, N-dimethylanilines, respectively. The characterization displayed that the double hydrolysis precipitation method made active metal Cu surface enrichment and high dispersion, meanwhile endow Cu/Al 2 O 3 with more developed pore system, which were responsible for the higher performance of our catalyst relative to Cu/Al 2 O 3 -CP. Compared with the reported batch mode, our procedure possessed the merits of low cost, environment-friendliness, better controllability and wide universality.

The interface site between metal and support possess unique electronic and morphological structure, providing distinct active centers for favorable reaction in catalytic conversion of biomass derivatives to valuable chemicals. In this study, a series of Cu-Co/CeO x catalysts were prepared for hydrogenolysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) via reduction of the corresponding layered double hydroxide precursors. The characterizations indicated the formation of CoCe-Vö interface (Vö denotes oxygen vacancy) and the effect of hydrogen spillover from Cu species to CoCe-Vö interface. Furthermore, the experiments and theoretical calculations verified that CoCe-Vö interface could activate the C O bond. The optimized catalyst showed a DMF yield of > 90% at 180 °C and 1.5 MPa H 2 with no deactivation in the cycling tests. This study reveals the interfacial effects of the nanocatalysts, including the oxygen vacancies and hydrogen spillover, on hydrogenolysis of HMF, which provided a simple and efficient approach for synthesis of high-performance non-noble metal nanocatalysts applied to the hydrogenolysis of various biomass derivatives.

Recently, rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) and rechargeable magnesium/lithium hybrid-ion batteries (MLHBs) have gained recognition as promising energy storage devices. However, the conventional CuS cathodes exhibit sluggish kinetics and poor cycle stability, thereby impeding the advancement and application of CuS. In this work, we have developed an economical and simple in-situ approach for synthesizing CuS@Cu foam (CSC) and evaluated its potential as a cathode material for both MIBs and MLHIBs. In both MIBs and MLHIBs, the CSC cathode demonstrates competitive performance. In MIBs, at a current density of 100 mA g −1 , the initial discharge specific capacity of the CSC is 150.94 mAh g −1 , which is higher than that of commercial CuS (3.99 mAh g −1 ). In MLHIBs, the CSC exhibits a discharge specific capacity of 502.95 mAh g −1 after 70 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g −1 , which significantly surpasses the discharge specific capacity of commercial CuS (229.52 mAh g −1 ). This performance improvement is attributed to the presence of Li + ions, which expedite the reaction kinetics, obviate the need for an activation process, and effectively facilitate the conversion reaction. In conclusion, by in-situ synthesis of CSC, the active material CuS firmly adheres to the Cu foam current collector. This approach is not only economical and simple but also significantly enhances the reactivity of the electrode material, thereby improving the electrochemical performance. This work provides valuable insights for the design, synthesis, and performance optimization of cathode materials of magnesium metal-based batteries.

The heterogeneous Fenton-like process with bimetallic chelated magnetic chitosan aerogel (Cu-Fe@CTS) as catalyst was applied to treat pre-coagulated leachate nanofiltration concentrate. The process conditions were optimized by Box-Behnken Design (BBD) and the maximum UV 254 removal reached 96.06% under the conditions of temperature 87.62 °C, oxidant dosage 0.2395 mol/L and catalyst dosage 1 g/L. The TOC concentration was reduced from 847.5 to 99.7 mg/L and COD concentration was reduced from 1625 to 464 mg/L. The three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence analysis showed that most of Fulvic acid-like (FA-like) was removed. The adsorption experiment showed that the catalyst reached the adsorption balanced after 60 min and the corresponding FA adsorption removal reached 14.1%. The addition of Tert-butanol (TBA) reduced the FA removal by 59.4%, indicating that the hydroxyl radicals ( OH) was the main active species. Experiments of the OH capture at different pH showed that the Fenton-like system produced more OH at pH of 4, at which the maximum FA removal was 96.61%, while the FA removal still reached 94.26% at pH of 7. The OH capture at different temperature showed that the Fenton-like system produced more OH at 90 °C. KI and TBA shielding experiments showed that OH was produced on the catalyst surface rather than being produced by catalysis of free metal ions in the solution.

Spinel oxides with the general formula of MnCu x Co 2−x O 4 (x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 respectively) are used as coating materials on the metallic interconnect SUS 430 alloy to reduce the cathodic performance degradation by Cr poisoning and the interfacial resistance to improve the surface stability. The effect of Cu doping at the B position of spinel on the electrical conductivity and coefficient of temperature expansion (CTE) is investigated to determine the oxidation behavior and effectiveness as a protective layer. The result confirms that MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 spinel shows highest electrical conductivity of 105.46 S cm −1 at 750 °C in air and an average CTE value of 12.27 × 10 −6 K −1 at temperature range of 20–960 °C. MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 coating is stable enough after 2000 h cyclic oxidation at 750 °C. The growth of Cr 2 O 3 and formation of MnCr 2 O 4 in the scale layer are effectively suppressed by the presence of MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 coating. The oxidation kinetics obeys the parabolic law with a rate constant as low as 2.76 × 10 −15 g 2 cm −4 ·s −1 and the ASR contributed by the oxide scale is 8.04 mΩ cm 2 at 750 °C. The research indicates that MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 is a promising coating material for metallic interconnects of the intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells .

Attapulgite (ATP) has a unique porous layered chain structure and is an excellent environment-friendly decolorizer. However, its high viscosity makes it difficult to separate. First, it was combined with magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles to obtain Fe 3 O 4 -ATP that is easy to recycle and reuse. Then, Fe 3 O 4 -ATP nanoparticles were embedded in chitosan (CS) gel beads, and glutaraldehyde was used for cross-linking and curing. Lastly, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was successfully connected to Fe 3 O 4 -ATP/CS gel beads through amidation reaction, which further increased the capability of the adsorbent to adsorb heavy metal ions. The prepared magnetic composite adsorbent is a sphere with a rough surface and porous structure. The maximum adsorption capacity of the prepared Fe 3 O 4 -ATP/EDTA/CS adsorbent for Pb(II), Cu(II), and Ni(II) is 368.32, 267.94, and 220.31 mg g −1 , respectively. After 5 times of repeated use, Fe 3 O 4 -ATP/EDTA/CS still showed good adsorption capacity for Cu(II), Pb(II), and Ni(II). Fe 3 O 4 -ATP/EDTA/CS has a large adsorption capacity for heavy metal ions, a wide pH applicability, good reuse, and rapid magnetic separation. In addition, Cu(II) loaded Fe 3 O 4 -ATP/EDTA/CS also showed good catalytic degradation performance for bisphenol A. This study prepared a new type of adsorbent with good adsorption performance and provided a promising method for the treatment of wastewater.

Herein, a nanocomposite comprising polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and cobalt(II) hydroxide (Co(OH) 2 ) nanoparticles (PVP–Co(OH) 2 ) was synthesized via a hydrothermal method and used for detection of Cu(II) ions. Using PVP grafted nanosized Co(OH) 2 as a surfactant could decrease the aggregation and reduce the particle size. The conducted morphology investigations showed that PVP–Co(OH) 2 nanocomposite was composed of small spherical particles with a diameter of 40–80 nm that could accelerate mass diffusion and favor the deposition-stripping process of Cu(II) ions. High catalytic activity of Co(OH) 2 and good affinity of PVP to Cu(II) ions synergistically enhances sensing performance of the PVP–Co(OH) 2 nanocomposite-modified electrode than Co(OH) 2 - and PVP-modified electrodes. A linear response was obtained for Cu(II) ion concentration over a range of 1.0–90.0 μg/L, with a detection limit of 0.26 μg/L (S/N = 3). The proposed electrode exhibited good performance in terms of selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. It was also employed to detect Cu(II) ions in water and food samples, and the results were in good agreement with those obtained by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.

Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared by chemical vapour deposition for catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of phenol in a fixed bed reactor. Firstly, Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts with Cu loading of 0.5, 2, and 6 wt% were prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption–desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The characterization results demonstrated that CuO was uniformly dispersed on ZSM-5 with slight effect on the structure properties of the support. Then, several variables, such as the copper loading, reaction temperature, catalyst bed height and feed flow rate were investigated in the CWPO of phenol in aqueous solution at high concentration (1000 ppm). Compared with the catalyst prepared by the impregnation method, the Cu-ZSM-5 prepared by chemical vapour deposition has a better capacity of further oxidizing the intermediate organic products into carbon dioxide and water with less metal loading. Based on the Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst with Cu loading of 6 wt%, complete removal of phenol and a high TOC reduction (around 70%) have been achieved at the temperature of 80°C feed flow rate of 2 ml min−1 and catalyst bed height of 3 cm. Moreover, this catalyst maintained high catalytic activity after three runs with high phenol conversion (94%) under this optimum operating condition. Finally, the reaction mechanism was studied based on the intermediates detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Nowadays, extensive use of copper in electric industries has severely contaminated aquatic environments. To address this issue, combining fungal biomass with nanomaterials is considered as an efficient way for adsorbing heavy metals from wastewater. In this work, a novel composite material
"Fungal mycelium coupled with Carbon nanotubes" (FM-CNTs) was synthesized and used for adsorption of Cu(II) ions in aqueous solution. To begin with, potassium permanganate and concentrated nitric acid were used as strong oxidants to modify the surface of CNTs, creating additional carboxyl
groups for coupling with amine groups from the surface of FM. Next, various characterization approaches such as SEM-EDX, FT-IR, XPS and TGA, were used to investigate the interaction between FM-CNTs and Cu(II) ions. Characterization results showed that the surface of FM-CNTs were significantly
changed after absorbing Cu(II) ions. Further, the effect of pH on adsorption capacity of FM-CNTs for Cu(II) was explored, showing that FM-CNTs had the best adsorption performance at pH of 5. Finally, Langmuir-Freundlich isothermal models were performed to analyze the adsorption behavior of
FM-CNTs for Cu(II). The experimental data from the adsorption of Cu(II) by FM-CNTs were best fitted to the Langmuir model, and the maximum adsorption amount of the FMCNTs for Cu(II) was found to be 342.22 mg/g. More importantly, FM-CNTs showed better adsorption capacity than fungal mycelium
alone. Overall, FM-CNTs exhibited excellent performance for adsorption of Cu(II) ions, thus greatly broadening its application prospects in copper-contaminated wastewater treatment.

A highly selective, green and sustainable chlorination of aliphatic C–H bonds is reported using MCln under the co-catalysis of visible light and nano-Cu@CuCl, which was synthesised via a one-step, hydrothermal strategy using copper(II) sulfate and D-glucose as the reducing agent in a KCl solution. A novel cascade method of producing Cl2 occurs in situ chlorinating C(sp3)–Hs, achieved through nano-Cu@CuCl catalysis using inorganic chloride MCln as a chlorine source under visible light and without the need for a strong oxidant. The reaction was applied to the chlorination of different alkylarene α-Hs and cyclic hydrocarbons C–HS and was developed for use in a photocatalytic serial reactor system which accomplished the chlorination of toluene α-Hs to give 92% conversion, 90% yield and 98% selectivity. Electron spin resonance (ESR) studies of DMPO-Cl. revealed that the reaction mechanism belonged to a free radical process.

A series of iron–copper bimetallic nanoparticles supported on hollow mesoporous silica spheres with different Fe/Cu ratios were prepared using a simple post-impregnation and sodium borohydride reduction strategy. Different Fe/Cu ratios were obtained by addition of various amounts of ferric and copper salts. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, XPS, nitrogen physisorption, SEM and TEM. To explore the difference of catalytic reactivity among the various FeCu/HMS composites, Fenton-like catalytic oxidation of orange II was chosen as the model catalysis reaction. The catalytic results showed that the catalytic activity depended highly upon the Fe/Cu ratio. Particularly, 1/3 (2Fe6Cu/HMS) is the optimum Fe/Cu mass ratio to achieve the best catalytic activity. Based on the results of detection of ˙OH radicals and cyclic voltammograms, the important origin of the synergetic effect in 2Fe6Cu/HMS is considered as the combination of iron and copper species, which can accelerate the interfacial electron transfer in redox cycles of Fe3+/Fe2+ and Cu2+/Cu+ pairs, followed by the increase in the ˙OH radical generation. The 2Fe6Cu/HMS also possesses less pH dependence and maintains its high activity even under alkaline conditions. The optimal parameters in the degradation of 100 mg L−1 orange II are 27.4 mM of H2O2 with 1.0 g L−1 of catalyst, performed at a pH of 7.0 and 30 degree celsius. It is worth noting that 2Fe6Cu/HMS also possesses potential to treat a high concentration of dye pollutants. 77.7% of orange II was removed when conducted at 1000 mg L−1 initial dye concentration. The stability and recoverability of the composite catalyst were assessed it exhibited a good performance after 5 consecutive runs. The as-synthesized composite catalyst proved to be an attractive alternative for dye wastewater treatment applications.

In this work, core–shell Fe3O4@Cu2O and Fe3O4@Cu2O–Cu nanomaterials for aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols are reported with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) and N-methylimidazole (NMI) as the co-catalysts. To anchor Cu2O nanoparticles around the magnetic particles under solvothermal conditions, the magnetic material Fe3O4 was modified by grafting a layer of L-lysine (L-Lys) to introduce –NH2 groups at the surface of the magnetic particles. With amine groups as the anchor, Cu(NO3)2 was used to co-precipitate the desired Cu2O by using ethylene glycol as the reducing agent. Prolonging the reaction time would lead to over-reduced forms of the magnetic materials in the presence of copper, Fe3O4@Cu2O–Cu. The nanomaterials and its precursors were fully characterized by a variety of spectroscopic techniques. In combination with both TEMPO and NMI, these materials showed excellent catalytic activities in aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols under ambient conditions. For most of the benzylic alcohols, the conversion into aldehydes was nearly quantitative with aldehydes as the sole product. The materials were recyclable and robust. Up to 7 repeat runs, its activity dropped less than 10%. The over-reduced materials, Fe3O4@Cu2O–Cu, exhibited slightly better performance in durability. The magnetic properties allowed easy separation after reaction by simply applying an external magnet.
