The threat of fouling organisms attached to ships and offshore equipment has brought great obstacles to the development of marine undertakings. Antifouling coatings represented by Cu 2 O is one of the most widely used antifouling paints at present, but they are facing the situation of initial explosion and final release exhaustion of Cu ions, which make long-term antifouling become one of the bottlenecks of the current antifouling coatings. To solving the problem of controlled-release of Cu ions, in this paper, a controlled-release system based on galvanic corrosion is prepared by using reduced graphene (rGO) supported poorly soluble metal Cu as antifouling agents (rGO/Cu), and the controlled-release principle of the system is studied from the perspective of electrochemistry. Its antifouling performance is evaluated by Cu ions release rate and indoor antifouling experiment. The experimental controlled release system has the controlled-release performance of Cu ions, which benefits from the shielding effect of rGO sheet, and the stable dissolution of Cu after the formation of galvanic corrosion between poorly soluble Cu and rGO. The sample EC041 with the highest rGO content (17.70 %) has the specific surface area ratio of rGO to Cu of 462; the Cu ions release rates dispersed into the coatings have the lowest RSD value of 44.45 % during 21 days testing cycle. The experimental results show that the controlled-release system has a stable antifouling effect.

Cu-oxide-based catalysts are promising for CO 2 electroreduction (CO 2 RR) to CH 4 , but suffer from inevitable reduction (to metallic Cu) and uncontrollable structural collapse. Here we report Cu-based rock-salt-ordered double perovskite oxides with superexchange-stabilized long-distance Cu sites for efficient and stable CO 2 -to-CH 4 conversion. For the proof-of-concept catalyst of Sr 2 CuWO 6 , its corner-linked CuO 6 and WO 6 octahedral motifs alternate in all three crystallographic dimensions, creating sufficiently long Cu-Cu distances (at least 5.4 Å) and introducing marked superexchange interaction mainly manifested by O-anion-mediated electron transfer (from Cu to W sites). In CO 2 RR, the Sr 2 CuWO 6 exhibits significant improvements (up to 14.1 folds) in activity and selectivity for CH 4 , together with well boosted stability, relative to a physical-mixture counterpart of CuO/WO 3 . Moreover, the Sr 2 CuWO 6 is the most effective Cu-based-perovskite catalyst for CO 2 methanation, achieving a remarkable selectivity of 73.1% at 400 mA cm −2 for CH 4 . Our experiments and theoretical calculations highlight the long Cu-Cu distances promoting *CO hydrogenation and the superexchange interaction stabilizing Cu sites as responsible for the superb performance.

Although Cu(II)/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) process has been successfully applied to degrade varied organic contaminants in water, the slow transformation of Cu(II) to Cu(I) that works only in alkaline conditions retards the treatment efficiency of this process. In this study, a new finding was observed, that is, oxytetraczdycline (OTC) could effectively enhance the degradation of organic pollutants in Cu(II)/PMS process where it was also removed in acidic conditions. With the addition of OTC in Cu(II)/PMS system, 85.5% of rhodamine B (RhB) was degraded in 90 min at pH 4.0, which was far more than that without OTC (36.1%), and simultaneously 98.1% of OTC was eliminated. The added OTC could form OTC-Cu(II) complexes which might powerfully improve the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I), exerting a positive effect on the PMS activation and subsequent degradation of RhB. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments assisted with radical scavenging experiments and Raman spectrum detection results suggested that Cu(III) and hydroxyl radical (HO • ) were the predominant reactive species for RhB degradation, while OTC removal in this system was mainly ascribed to direct PMS oxidation. The Cu(II)/PMS process also showed a promising success on the synergistic degradation of OTC with the other four refractory organic pollutants , indicating the potential application of PMS oxidation in water treatment .

Mn/Cu co-doping mesoporous carbon sorbent (MnCu x -C) was synthesized via using hard template method. Thymol blue (C 27 H 30 O 5 S) was used as carbon source and MCM-41 was applied as template agent. Copper nitrate trihydrate (Cu(NO 3 ) 2 ·3H 2 O) and manganese acetate tetrahydrate (MnC 4 H 6 O 4 ·4H 2 O) was in-situ co-doped with carbon source as Cu/Mn metals precursor. Mercury removal on the MnCu x -C sorbent was investigated on a fixed bed experimental apparatus. The physical and chemical characteristics of the MnCu x -C sorbent were investigated by using BET, SEM, FTIR, XRD and XPS, respectively. Combing with mercury programmed temperature desorption (Hg-TPD) and density functional theory (DFT), the mechanism of mercury adsorption on the MnCu x -C sorbent was revealed. The results showed that the synthesized MnCu 0.1 -C sorbent displayed high mercury removal performance at 150℃, which was considered to be a potential sorbent for mercury removal from industrial flue gas. Mn doping on the mesoporous carbon greatly improved the mercury removal ability of sorbent with mercury capture rate increasing from 6 % to 89 %. Doping of Cu can effectively improve the SO 2 tolerance of the MnCu 0.1 -C sorbent for mercury removal. With different concentration of SO 2 existing in flue gas, the MnCu 0.1 -C sorbent still kept high mercury removal ability. O 2 in flue gas promoted mercury removal on the MnCu 0.1 -C sorbent with main product of HgO. In the presence of SO 2 , a small amount of HgSO 4 formed on the MnCu 0.1 -C sorbent. The DFT analysis further displayed that Hg 0 was mainly chemisorbed on the surface of MnCu 0.1 -C sorbent with formation of HgO.

Converting carbon dioxide into fuel via photocatalysis holds immense significance in advancing the cause of sustainable energy generation. In this work, co-doped In 2 O 3 nanosheets with two transition metals, nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu), were successfully prepared using a straightforward ammonia precipitation and calcination technique. Notably, the 10 %Ni-5 %Cu-In 2 O 3 sample exhibited a remarkable CO generation rate of 528.8 μmol g −1 h −1 , which is a substantial 43.63-fold increase compared to the pristine In 2 O 3 (12.1 μmol g −1 h −1 ). Furthermore, the selectivity of the CO product was significantly enhanced from 19.7 % to 69.4 %, marking a significant improvement. The incorporation of Ni and Cu effectively modulated the energy band positions of In 2 O 3 , the synergistic modulation of these bimetals jointly augmented the light absorption of In 2 O 3 across various visible wavelength regions. Additionally, the introduction of Ni and Cu notably prolonged the lifetime of photogenerated carriers and facilitated the spatial separation of electrons and holes. The smaller radius of the doped Ni and Cu ions compared to In may have induced defect formation, leading to a stronger adsorption capacity. Our findings not only underscore the efficacy of transition metal co-doping in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction but also offer valuable insights into the design and fabrication of such catalysts.

Introduction: Tomato bacterial wilt (TBW) is a destructive soil-borne bacterial infection caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. Various nanoparticles have been employed as antibacterial agents to manage TBW via soil application. However, research on the effects of nanoparticles on plant endophytes remains limited.Methods: Here, an analysis of the endophytic bacterial community was performed on healthy and infected tomatoes that were treated with Cu-Ag nanoparticles and thiodiazole-copper via high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing.Results: The relative abundance levels of beneficial bacteria, including Acidobacteriota, Firmicutes, Actinobacteriota, and Myxococcota, were higher in infected tomato roots treated with Cu-Ag nanoparticles compared with thiodiazole-copper. Functional predictions show that Cu-Ag nanoparticles may affect pyruvate metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, purine metabolism, carbon metabolism, secondary metabolite production, and the metabolic pathways associated with microbial communities.Discussion: These results could reveal the mechanism by which nanoparticles influence the endophytic microbiomes of plant roots and direct the rational application of nanoparticlesin sustainable agriculture.

Non-covalent interactions between the electrocatalyst surface and its electrolyte play a vital role in shaping the microenvironments of electrochemical interfaces. Yet, direct spectroscopic investigation of these interactions and their catalytic effects has remained elusive in electrocatalysis research. Here, using in situ Raman spectroscopy, we resolve a universal change of interfacial water structure at electrified Cu surfaces during alkaline CO reduction reaction. An intricate non-covalent interaction between interfacial water and surface hydroxyl (OH ad ) was recognized through a proposed OH ad ···M + (H 2 O) n complex, with M + representing electrolyte cations. On exposure to catalytic potentials, these non-covalent complexes evolve into local OH − ···M + (H 2 O) n species residing within the electrical double layer and favour CO reduction reaction into acetate over other C 2 products. These results demonstrate the crucial roles of non-covalent interactions in determining the activity of surface reactions, whose existence and rational design may offer opportunities for future fine control of electrocatalysis processes.

The prosperous outdoor exercise activities have raised higher performance and multi-functional requirements for the films used in clothing and equipment. However, developing films that have multi-functions such as comfortable, flexible, high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and exceptional electrothermal heating capabilities remains a significant challenge. Herein, a flexible, highly conductive Cu@CNT film was fabricated using the strategy of copper particles bridging conductive nanotubes and polymer fixing conductive networks. The two-step strategy remarkably enhanced the CNT-based conductive network and improved the electrical conductivity of Cu-2.0@CNT film to 22,051 S/m. The resulting Cu@CNT film demonstrated an outstanding average EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of 57.8 dB across 5-40 GHz, and a remarkable average EMI SE more than 60 dB in 0.2-1.6 THz at the film thickness of 100 μm. The film also exhibited a normalized EMI SE (SE/t) of 578 dB mm-1, which exceeds most reported film materials. Additionally, the Cu@CNT film exhibited impressive electrothermal heating properties, including a high saturated temperature (over 160 ℃ at 3.5 V), a high heating rate (＞ 10 ℃/s at 3.5 V), a controllable thermal response (＜ 15 s) and a stable and uniform heating distribution. Additionally, as a demonstration, it is used as a flexible electromagnetic wave isolation film and flexible heaters. Therefore, the flexible composite film with multiple protective functions proposed in this work provides a competitive material for the next-generation outdoor clothing and equipment applications.

The structure, magnetic behavior and magnetocaloric performance in heavy rare–earth based compounds Tb 2 M TiO 6 ( M = Co, Ni, Cu) have been experimentally investigated in this work. The structural analysis indicates that Tb 2 CoTiO 6 and Tb 2 NiTiO 6 crystallize in a monoclinic double perovskite structure, while Tb 2 CuTiO 6 forms a hexagonal layered structure. The magnetic measurements reveal that the samples show high magnetic reversibility within a wide temperature range. The high-temperature Curie–Weiss fitting suggests that the antiferromagnetic coupling between RE 3+ and RE 3+ is dominant at low temperatures. The Arrott-plots imply that the magnetic transition in Tb 2 M TiO 6 is of second–order nature according to the Banerjee’s criteria. The magnetic entropy change − Δ S M is evaluated to be 10.7, 16.2 and 13.2 J kg −1 K −1 for Tb 2 CoTiO 6 , Tb 2 NiTiO 6 and Tb 2 CuTiO 6 at 4 K and magnetic field change Δ H = 6 T, respectively. The work suggests that the lack of 3 d –3 d coupling in the design of double perovskites is one of the potential approaches for developing low-temperature magnetic refrigeration materials.

Z-Scheme heterojunction photocatalysts can effectively suppress the recombination of charge carriers while maintaining high redox capacity. In this study, ZnTe/WO 3 (ZW) Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts were synthesized using a hydrothermal method, and a series of photocatalytic materials were prepared for the simultaneous removal of tetracycline (TC) and Cu(II) from water. The physicochemical and photoelectrochemical properties of the catalytic materials were characterized through various methods, including SEM, XRD, XPS, and others. The experimental results indicate that the ZW-10 % composite material exhibits the most significant removal efficiency for pollutants. Within 150 min of visible light irradiation, the removal rates for TC and Cu(II) reach 73.8 % and 73.3 %, respectively, representing a substantial improvement compared to individual ZnTe and WO 3 . Free radical capture experiments and electron spin resonance analysis reveal that ·O 2 − and ·OH are the key reactive species responsible for TC oxidation, while electrons (e − ) dominate the reduction of Cu(II).

Increasing air pollution poses a serious challenge to human beings. In view of the contradiction between filtration efficiency and pressure drop and the single function of traditional air filtration materials, the present study synthesized Cu-BTC by room temperature solvent method, and then based on the strategy of in-situ modification of Cu-BTC, Cu-BTC/PS-2 composite membranes with low filtration resistance and antibacterial resistance were constructed by modulating the pore structure of polystyrene (PS) fibre membranes. The composite membrane achieved 99.79 % filtration efficiency against PM 0.3 with a pressure drop of only 50.1 Pa. The stability of the composite membrane was significantly better than that of the commercial electret melt-blown filters, and the antimicrobial rate of the composite membrane against E. coli was greater than 99.9 %. This study provides a new material design strategy for the development of a new generation of high-efficiency, low-resistance and antibacterial air filtration materials.

Electrochemical desalination offers a promising route to address water scarcity, but current methods often face limitations in salt removal rate and capacity. This study introduces an ultrafast electrocatalytic desalination system that leverages the electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to formate (CO 2 RR) to drive efficient salt removal. The optimized bimetallic Sn/Cu-based polyphthalocyanine (Sn 2 Cu 1 PPc) exhibits exceptional CO 2 RR performance, achieving a peak FE formate of 90.3 % at −1.0 V vs. RHE and a j formate of 84.8 mA cm −2 . In-situ spectroscopic analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the incorporation of Cu-N 4 units into the Sn-based polyphthalocyanine (SnPPc) promotes CO 2 adsorption and facilitates active hydrogen provision, leading to the observed enhancement in CO 2 RR activity. Using the Sn 2 Cu 1 PPc catalyst, our system achieves a salt removal rate of 1701.3 μg cm −2 min −1 and a formate production rate of 0.79 mmol h −1 cm −2 when treating natural seawater, resulting in potable water with 99.06 % salt removal efficiency. This performance is enabled by a high current density (∼70 mA cm −2 ) during CO 2 RR, which significantly enhances ion transport across the membranes, making this one of the most effective desalination approaches reported. This work demonstrates the potential of coupling CO 2 RR with desalination for sustainable water production and CO 2 mitigation, while also advancing the design of efficient Sn-based electrocatalysts for formate production.
