As a synthetic estrogen, diethylstilbestrol (DES) residues in water pose a threat to human health. In this work, a novel electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) aptamer sensor based on NCDs@Ag 3 PO 4 as a resonance energy transfer donor and Cu 2+ doped Eu MOF (Cu: Eu MOF) as an efficient resonance energy transfer acceptor for the detection of diethylstilbestrol (DES) was proposed for the first time. The aptamer sensor uses Ag 3 PO 4 nanoparticles loaded with nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (NCDs) as the ECL emitter, which improves the electron transfer efficiency of the sensor and promotes the generation of SO 4 ·- radicals, thereby improving the luminescence intensity and stability of the ECL sensor. The energy acceptor Cu: Eu MOF binds to the apt on NCDs@Ag 3 PO 4 by complementary base pairing through complementary DNA (cDNA). When DES is present in the sample, DES competes with the energy acceptor. The stronger interaction between DES and apt leads to the shedding of Cu: Eu MOF-cDNA from the electrode and the recovery of ECL signal. Based on this, under optimal conditions, the linear range of the sensor for detecting DES is 1.0 × 10 −13 –1.0 × 10 −6 M, and the detection limit is 7.4 × 10 −14 M (S/N = 3). The developed aptasensor showed excellent recognition ability for residual DES in actual water samples. The sensor has superior measurement ability and potential application value in the field of environmental water quality monitoring.

Particle-reinforced composite fillers allow precise control of joint microstructure to enhance mechanical performance. However, traditional designs often reduce joint deformability and face issues like particle agglomeration and poor interfacial wettability. To overcome these limitations, a micro-network of Cu-Ti reinforcements within the brazing seam via Ag- x TiH 2 composite filler was developed in this work, which enabled the fabrication of high-strength Si 3 N 4 /Cu joints. Optimal results were achieved with the Ag-4TiH 2 filler, wherein a eutectic liquid formed at the Ag-4TiH 2 /Cu interface during the initial brazing stage. Simultaneously, undissolved Ti reacts with Cu to yield submicron Cu 4 Ti 3 -dominated reinforcements. On the Si 3 N 4 surface, hypostoichiometric TiN/TiN 0 . 61 /TiN 0 . 5 nanocrystals grow sequentially, which is beneficial for enhancing interfacial wettability and bonding reliability. A maximum average shear strength of 186.9 MPa was obtained, a 57.6 % improvement over the conventional AgCuTi filler. The fracture mechanism underwent a notable transformation: brittle failure at mixed regions of Si 3 N 4 and the reaction layer in AgCuTi joints was replaced by ductile failure at the interface between the Cu matrix and the brazing seam in Ag-4TiH 2 joints. The Cu 4 Ti 3 -dominated micro-network offers distinct advantages by enabling controllable in-situ growth that prevents agglomeration while maintaining joint deformability through the synergy effect of the abundant retention of ductile Ag(s, s) and decent elastic modulus and yield strength increment, and regulates the interface reaction to yield a thinner Ti-N layer instead of a TiN/Ti 5 Si 3 dual-layer. These features collectively contribute to the notable mitigation of residual stress within Si 3 N 4 /Cu joints.

Conventional advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) face technological bottlenecks in the stepwise treatment of heavy metal complexes (HMCs), and single-step removal strategies have attracted increasing attention. Herein, we pioneered a waste-derived strategy using NdFeB waste (NFBW) to activate H 2 O 2 for establishing a heterogeneous Fenton-like system, achieving concurrent Cu-EDTA decomplexation and Cu capture. Remarkably, 99.10 % Cu-EDTA decomplexation and 96.84 % total Cu capture were synchronously achieved within 30 min. This one-step technology is effective over a wide pH range (2.0–9.5). Notably, this system demonstrated practical efficacy in treating rare-earth purification wastewater, achieving synchronous removal of heavy metals (Cu, Zn) and rare-earth elements (Yb, Ce) as mixed organic complexes with effluent meeting industrial discharge standards. Mechanistic investigations revealed that Cu-EDTA decomplexation originated from Fe(Ⅲ)-induced ligand substitution coupled with reactive oxygen species (·OH and ·O 2 - ) attack. The ≡Fe(Ⅱ)/≡Fe(Ⅲ)-mediated heterogeneous Fenton reaction synergized with homogeneous Fe(Ⅱ)/Fe(Ⅲ) cycling to generate ROSs, where the B-B bonds and Fe 0 in NFBW facilitated electron transfer for enhanced redox cycling. Possible pathways for the decomplexation of Cu-EDTA in this system are proposed. The 90.10 % TOC removal verified EDTA mineralization through stepwise degradation pathways. Liberated Cu(Ⅱ) was captured via multiple routes: surface reduction (Cu 0 ), precipitation (Cu(OH) 2 , Cu 2 (OH) 2 CO 3 ), and Fe(OH) 3 adsorption-flocculation. This work not only opens new avenues for Fenton-like treatment of HMC wastewater through a “waste-treats-waste” strategy but also provides new ideas for synergistic activation of H 2 O 2 by multivalent iron materials.

In the quest to optimise the catalytic activity and selectivity of the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR), various imperfections-such as defects, grain boundaries, and vacancies-pose significant challenges. In a groundbreaking approach, we present the synthesis of well-structured CuAl nanocrystals featuring a preferential (111) crystal facet, a first in the field. This innovative structure not only enhances selectivity but also establishes a clear structure-activity relationship for CO2 RR. The unique properties of CuAl nanocrystals stem from their ability to finely control bonding interactions with CO2 RR intermediates, driven by the synergistic effects of the (111) facet. Utilising a straightforward chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method, we produce these nanocrystals, revealing the atomic distribution of Cu and Al on this dominant surface, which crucially influences CO2 RR performance. Among them, Cu96Al4 achieves the highest Faraday efficiency (FE) for HCOOH (77.71%) and CO (18.01%), attributed to the synergistic effects of Cu and Al arising from the optimal d-band centre of Cu active sites and the strong electron-donating ability of Al. This interaction facilitates the electron transfer from Cu to *COOH, resulting in a high FE for C1 product. Our findings pave the way for advanced catalytic designs that can significantly elevate CO2 conversion efficiencies.

In this report, one-dimensional Cu-doped NiO nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning and their electrochromic (EC) performance was investigated. It is demonstrated that the Ni 0.97 Cu 0.03 O nanofibers exhibit particularly fast switching speed (1.6 s for coloring and 0.9 s for bleaching) among NiO-based EC devices reported so far. Furthermore, other outstanding EC properties, including large transmittance modulation (73% at 550 nm), high coloration efficiency (77.9 cm 2 C −1 ) and good cycling durability (80% after 2000 cycles), were also achieved for Ni 0.97 Cu 0.03 O nanofibers. These attractive EC properties are attributed to their one-dimensional nanostructures with small size grains and superior electrical conductivity .

With the advancement of industry and agriculture, substantial nitrate-containing pollutants have been discharged. This leads to severe environmental pollution and imbalance in nitrogen cycle, threatening ecology environment and human health. Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia can convert pollutants into important chemical feedstocks and energy-storage molecules, providing a feasible route for ammonia production using renewable energy. However, this reaction is complicated and involves multiple steps and intermediates, suffering from high overpotential and limited selectivity and activity. To solve this issue, herein we designed a mixed-valence Cu/CuO x catalyst which is primarily composed of Cu and Cu 2 O and shows three-dimensional nanowire structure, achieving efficient nitrate reduction reaction for ammonia synthesis. The current density for ammonia production reaches 1.89 A·cm −2 at −0.22 V vs . RHE (reversible hydrogen electrode), with a Faradaic efficiency of 80.9%. Cu/CuO x also maintains excellent stability during prolonged electrolysis. The apparent and normalized performances of Cu/CuO x are much higher than those of the control systems, such as Cu and Cu 2 O. Experimental and theoretical results prove that the Cu 0 and Cu + species in Cu/CuO x play synergistic roles, promoting the conversion of *NO intermediate to *NOH and accelerating the desorption of NH 3 . The nanowire structure provides abundant active sites, thereby enhancing the performance of nitrate reduction to ammonia. This work not only provides an efficient catalyst for nitrate reduction to ammonia but also serves as a guideline for the rational design of such catalysts. Synergistic effect of Cu 0 and Cu + in Cu/CuO x nanowires enables efficient nitrate reduction to ammonia. Download: Download high-res image (261KB) Download: Download full-size image

The recycling of spent polyesters into oxygen-containing chemicals provides a novel way to access such chemicals, and is also of great significance for solving the problems caused by polyester waste. Herein, we present hydrogenolysis of aliphatic polyesters into diols over MgAlO x supported Cu catalysts (Cu/MgAlO x -m) via a methanolysis-hydrogenation strategy under relatively mild conditions (e.g., 200 °C, 4 MPa). The as-designed Cu/MgAlO x -10 catalyst with Cu content of 10 wt.% shows the best performance, which could convert polycaprolactone into 1,6-hexanediol in a high yield of 98.0%. It is revealed that the Cu species in the catalyst mainly exist in the form of Cu 0 and Cu + , in which Cu 0 is responsible for H 2 activation, and Cu + for ester group activation and stabilization of reactive intermediates. The ratio of Cu 0 to Cu + species determines the selectivity towards diols. This work provides a highly efficient catalyst for hydrogenolysis of aliphatic polyesters into diols, which may have industrial application prospects.

The scale effect of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) plays a pivotal role in governing the mechanical behavior of Al-Cu composites. To investigate this, a series of composites incorporating intermetallic compounds (IMCs) of varying dimensions was fabricated. Experimental results reveal that the mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients between the IMCs and the Al matrix induces interfacial strain gradients. At the nanoscale, these gradients facilitate the nucleation of fault networks that effectively impede dislocation motion by reducing the mean free path, thereby surpassing the limitations predicted by the conventional Hall–Petch relationship. Moreover, nanoscale IMCs serve as dislocation pinning sites, thereby activating the Orowan strengthening mechanism. In contrast, micron-scale IMCs demonstrate limited ability to form dislocation loops, and the stacking faults (SFs) generated during stress relaxation become sources of mobile dislocations. The acceleration of dislocation at phase boundaries leads to stress concentration and premature failure. These insights provide valuable guidance for the structural and compositional design of metal matrix composites .

Chitosan scaffolds with hierarchical macroporous structures for recyclable adsorption of Cu(II) ions are prepared by templating from Pickering high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) for the first time. The liquid paraffin-in-water HIPEs are stabilized by chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs). The internal phase fraction can be up to 90.0%; meanwhile, the chitosan concentration only needs to be 1.0 wt%. The chitosan scaffolds were obtained by crosslinking the dispersed CNPs, followed by removing the internal phase. The resulting scaffold exhibits the average pore size of around 15 μm and interconnecting channel size of several micrometers. The adsorption capacities of the chitosan–glutaraldehyde (chitosan–GLA) scaffolds for Cu(II) ions increase with increasing the molar ratio of –NH2 of CNPs to –CHO of GLA. At the optimized ratio of 2 : 1, the adsorption capacity is 60.2 mg g−1 at room temperature and pH 5.0. The adsorption capacity can be greatly improved by addition of carboxymethylated chitosan or adopting an imprinting method, and the adsorption capacities are 100.2 and 90.3 mg g−1, respectively. The adsorption isotherm of the chitosan scaffold closely follows Freundlich model. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of the scaffold after undergoing 10 consecutive desorption–adsorption cycles still remains at a high level of 90.3%, suggesting the chitosan scaffold is a green and recyclable biosorbent for practical wastewater treatment.

The long-term goal of electrochemical ammonia (NH3) synthesis under ambient conditions is to replace the Haber–Bosch process. One of the biggest challenges in this field is that the N≡N triple bond is too stable to be activated. Therefore, most research is mainly focused on the development of advanced electrocatalysts to address this challenge. However, the extremely low solubility and slow diffusion of N2 molecules in aqueous electrolytes are usually overlooked. Here, the Bi-loaded Cu hollow microtube with a porous structure is reported as the gas diffusion electrode for N2 electroreduction. Compared with the conventional planar electrode configurations, the hollow gas diffusion electrode (HGDE) possesses unique advantages in breaking through the mass transfer limit of low-solubility gases. It can also provide abundant electrochemically active sites due to its porous structure, forming a gas–liquid–solid three-phase interface that is conducive to electrocatalytic reactions. Besides, the adjustable N2/H3O+ at the three-phase interface can further help enhance the reaction activity and selectivity. As a result, the Bi-loaded Cu HGDE exhibits an NH3 yield of 4.6 μg h–1 cm–2 and a Faradaic efficiency of 5.8% at −0.4 V (vs RHE, reversible hydrogen electrode). This study may stimulate interest in optimizing the electrode structure and developing types of electrodes for efficient electrochemical ammonia synthesis.

Tyrosine is the precursor of some neurotransmitters such as thyroxine and dopamine. It has the effect of regulating emotions and stimulating the nervous system. Changes in tyrosine levels in the human body are associated with certain diseases. Therefore, it is very necessary to prepare a new type of tyrosine sensor. In this work, an enzyme-free electrochemical sensor based on MXene/CNTs/CuMOF composite was developed for the detection of tyrosine. Embedding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into MXene effectively prevented the aggregation of MXene sheets. Further modification of MXene/CNTs materials with CuMOF octahedral particles with porous structure can improve the porosity and catalytic capability of the composites. Under the optimal detection conditions, the prepared sensor has good linearity in the detection of tyrosine within range 0.53 μM–232.46 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.19 μM. The stability and selectivity of the sensor is high, and can be used to detect tyrosine in human serum.
