CuS/CdS(H)/CdS(C) photocatalysts were synthesized via the hydrothermal method by employing thiourea , Cd(CH 3 COO) 2 ·3H 2 O and copper 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate MOF (CuBDC). The photocatalysts were characterized by XRD , XPS , BET, TEM and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra. Interestingly, hexagonal CdS (CdS(H)) and cubic CdS (CdS(C)) were formed with phase junctions in one step when CuBDC was introduced in the synthesis process, in addition, CuS nanoparticles were deposited on CdS. However, only hexagonal CdS was obtained without CuBDC. It demonstrated that CuBDC was not only the precursor of CuS but also the structural modifier for CdS. With the reduction of re-combination of photo-induced electrons and holes caused by phase junctions and the enhancement of visible-light absorptions due to the loading of CuS, all CuS/CdS(H)/CdS(C) photocatalysts had higher photocurrent densities under visible-light irradiation, and consequently the higher rates of H 2 production than pure CdS(H). Typically, the catalyst with 2.89 wt% of Cu showed a highest rate of H 2 evolution at 2042 μmol/g/h.

A novel Cu catalyst was developed using water-washed coal fly ash (WFA) as a support material for catalytic reduction of p -nitrophenol ( p -NP) in the presence of NaBH 4 . Cu/WFA showed ~ × 10 5 times higher estimated rate constant k obs-p-NP /C Cu (L min −1 g Cu −1 ) compared with Cu/SiO 2 , Cu/Al 2 O 3 , and other Cu catalysts previously reported. Surprisingly, we obtained a significant lower price value (Price’/K) (0.027–0.068 USD/L min −1 ) for Cu/WFA in comparison with other Cu catalysts and precious metallic catalysts (Pd, Au, Ag, and Pt). Various surface analyses and additional experiments using Fe/SiO 2 , Cu/Fe 2 O 3 /SiO 2 , and Cu/HCl-treated WFA demonstrated that Cu(0) nanoparticles were well loaded on the surface of WFA, where Fe elements were abundant, resulting in a dramatic enhancement of the Cu/WFA catalytic activity . Particularly, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the abundance of Cu(0)/Fe(III) and Cu(0)/Fe(II) in the WFA surface. This indicates that Cu(0) was the main driving force for the activation of H ad molecule, and that the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) by NaBH 4 can accelerate the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(0). Recycling and phytotoxicity tests showed that Cu/WFA can be applied as a reusable catalyst with low environmental impact, revealing the remarkable potential of non-precious metal/WFA catalyst in the field of environmental remediation.

Cu/Nb doped YFeO 3 ceramics were synthesized through wet chemical method followed by traditional ceramic sintering technology. The phase component and electrical properties of the ceramics were investigated. The XRD pattern shows that all the prepared ceramics have the orthorhombic perovskite structure with space group of P nma . The XPS analysis demonstrates the existence of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ in the ceramics. The temperature dependence of resistivity indicates that YFeO 3 -based materials have a characteristics of negative temperature coefficient (NTC) of resistivity. The room temperature resistivities (306–1.52 × 10 5 Ω cm) and temperature sensitivity B values (2693–5395 K) can be effectively adjusted by changing the contents of Cu- and Nb- ions. According to the analysis of complex impedance spectra at various temperatures, the NTC characteristic could be attributed to grain effect and grain boundary effect. The possible conduction mechanisms are propose to hopping conduction and band conduction in grain, and thermal activation transport of charge carries in grain boundary.

A Cux–Mgy–Zrz/SiO2 catalyst with a total metal loading of 60 wt% prepared by a deposition–precipitation method was applied for the selective hydrogenation of ethylene carbonate to methanol and ethylene glycol in a fixed-bed reactor. As a result, the Cu8–Mg1–Zr0.47/SiO2 catalyst furnished 99% ethylene carbonate conversion with 85% selectivity to methanol and 99% selectivity to ethylene glycol under the optimized reaction conditions. Moreover, the Cu8–Mg1–Zr0.47/SiO2 catalyst also showed a good lifetime and neither the activity nor the selectivity decreased the during 208 h test. The reaction was found to depend sensitively on the Cu particle size, the surface acidity and the catalyst surface composition. The synergistic effect of balanced Cu0 and Cu+ sites was considered to play a critical role in attaining high yields of methanol and ethylene glycol. Boric oxide also had a positive effect on the hydrogenation of ethylene carbonate, affording higher selectivity to methanol under much milder conditions.

A fast, sensitive, and convenient dual-emission water detector was robustly fabricated. This detector was prepared with blue fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) and red fluorescent Cu nanoclusters (NCs), and showed two well-resolved and intensity-comparable fluorescence peaks under a single excitation wavelength. Moreover, it showed strong red fluorescence in organic solvent due to the aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties of the Cu NCs, but the red fluorescence was gradually quenched with an increasing amount of water, whereas the blue fluorescence remained constant. The differences in response result in a continuous fluorescence color change from red to blue that can be clearly observed by the naked eye. Thus, as-prepared Cu NC-based dual-emission nanomaterials can be used for ratiometric fluorescence detection of trace amounts of water in organic solvents by taking advantage of the water sensitivity of their fluorescence intensity ratios (red/blue) and their low detect limits (<0.02% v/v). These studies demonstrate that a novel and sensitive dual-emission ratiometric water detector has been found, which shows promise for application in environmental monitoring, food inspection, and life science.

Ternary copper-based chalcogenide nanomaterials have become rather attractive due to the near-infrared (NIR) response in cancer theranostic fields. However, it is still challenging to further improve the theranostic efficiency of these nanomaterials. Herein, Cu-Sb-S nanoparticles (NPs) around 24 nm are synthesized facilely and functionalized with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). Under the NIR irradiation, the resultant PVP-Cu-Sb-S NPs exhibit a relatively high photothermal conversion efficiency of 53.16% and a simultaneous reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation effect. Due to these outstanding photothermal/photodynamic effects, excellent tumor ablation results can be achieved by the combination of PVP-Cu-Sb-S NPs and 808 nm NIR laser treatments without obvious side effect. In addition, they show remarkable contrast enhancement according to in vitro and in vivo photoacoustic (PA) imaging. These PVP-Cu-Sb-S NPs could be served as a multifunctional nanotheranostic agent for PA imaging, photothermal/photodynamic cancer therapy. Statement of Significance Highly theranostic efficiency ternary copper-based chalcogenide nanomaterials has not been fully developed yet. Herein we report the PVP-Cu-Sb-S nanoparticles (NPs) with relatively high photothermal efficiency, simultaneous reactive oxygen species generation effect and photoacoustic imaging capability. The photothermal conversion efficiency of PVP-Cu-Sb-S NPs is higher than most of copper-based chalcogenide nanomaterials reported before. These findings provide a new kind of ternary copper-based chalcogenide with an enhanced theranostic effect, which could be served as a promising multifunctional nanotheranostic agent in the field of biomedical application.

A novel two-dimensional carbon material using phytic acid-functionalized graphene oxide was successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. Properties of the material were characterized by SEM, FT-IR, FITR-Rama and BET. Some factors like contact time, pH, and temperature were studied to investigate the adsorption characteristics on Cu(II) ions of the material. Experiment results showed that the material can reach equilibrium adsorption in 20 min and get maximum adsorption capacity (316.586 mg g) under the condition of pH 4.0, 304 K. The adsorption of Cu(II) ions was an exothermic and spontaneous process, and could be better simulated by the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Freundlich isotherm model.

Copper chemical mechanical planarization (Cu-CMP) is an essential procedure for the fabrication of integrated circuits (IC). The corrosion inhibitors in the Cu-CMP slurry could balance the over etching from the corrosion reagents to facilitate the global planarization of the copper layers. However, the normally used Cu-CMP inhibitor 1-benzotriazole (BTA) was toxic for the long time usage. In this paper, the biocompatible polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) was proposed to substitute the BTA in the Cu-CMP. With an integrated electrochemical test, including the Tafel polarization, electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS), and the electrochemical noise (EN), it was found that the PVP could possess a good inhibition effect comparable to BTA, which opened up a promising way for the design of biocompatible inhibitors in the Cu-CMP.

There is great interest in extending cellulosic platforms to applications in flexible, lightweight, low-cost and sustainable electronics. The critical need is the development of methods to confer electronic properties to these materials platforms (i.e., paper and fabrics). Here we report a highly conductive, pliable and foldable Cu/cellulose paper electrode enabled by a simple low-cost and scalable wet-processing method to coat a Cu nanoparticle (NP) layer on common cellulose paper, where polydopamine adhesion and electroless deposition were used to yield highly conductive paper with a sheet resistance as low as 0.01 Ω sq−1. This Cu/cellulose paper has excellent stability because of the strong adhesion between Cu NPs and cellulose, and because the methods are sufficiently mild to prevent damage to the paper substrate. This fabrication method results in the controlled deposition of Cu NPs and yields Cu/cellulose paper with highly hydrophobic and self-cleaning properties, high photothermal conversion efficiency, and excellent electromagnetic interface (EMI) shielding effectiveness. This high-performance Cu/cellulose paper could have promising application potential for a range of emerging applications in flexible electronics and packaging.

Owing to that, efficient cooling the chip demands a heat sink material possess high thermal conductivity and low CTE equivalent to the gallium arsenide (GaAs) or silicon (Si). Addressing this target, we have synthesized Sc 2 W 3 O 12 /Cu composites by hot-pressing sintering at 700 °C, which was based on the uniform submicron Sc 2 W 3 O 12 powder prepared for the first time. The resulting product not only possessed a low CTE (8.31 ppm/K, which was identical to GaAs of 6.2 ppm/K) and high thermal conductivity (243.99 W/m K), but also exhibited extremely stable CTE within a temperature range of 25 °C–300 °C and high Vickers hardness (234.32 HV) due to its uniform and nearly full dense microstructure. A ‘thermoelastic-micro-mechanics'model was used to predict the CTE quantitatively and the estimated values were in good agreement with the experimental CTE values. Moreover, the excellent compatibility of thermal properties between Sc 2 W 3 O 12 and Cu possesses an isolated spot in Ashby map based on CTE and thermal conductivity, and the as-synthesized composite exhibits nearly greatest thermal stability indicated via its low thermal distortion parameter (TDP).

To overcome the shortcomings of poor conductivity and large volume change, we proposed a novel three-dimensional ordered macroporous Cu/Sn (3DOM Cu/Sn) composite material as the anode of lithium-ion batteries (LIB). Electron microscopies and X-ray diffraction revealed that this new 3DOM Cu/Sn composite has the surface of the 3DOM Cu framework covered with a uniform layer of Sn nanoparticles . As a binder-free anode of LIB without conductive additives, this 3DOM Cu/Sn composite demonstrated an extremely high rate capability of about 707 mAh/g at 5C, which is 4 times higher than that of bare Cu/Sn anode, and excellent durability of 851 mAh/g up to 250 cycles. The post-test analysis showed that extraordinarily electrochemical performances of this composite anode are ascribed to the unique 3DOM microstructure.

In this paper, the X% Cu–ZrO 2 (X = 0, 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20) xerogel catalysts have been successfully synthesized via a facile two-step approach involving epoxide-driven sol–gel method followed by chemical reduction. The series xerogel catalysts were characterized using XRD, SEM–EDS, TEM, XPS, H 2 -TPR, N 2 adsorption–desorption and FT-IR. The results showed that the morphologies of ZrO 2 partly have changed from bulk to nanorods with the increase in Cu loading from 0 to 20%. The catalysts exerted Cu content-dependent activities towards the catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB). Among them, the 15% Cu–ZrO 2 showed the best catalytic activity that the maximum hydrogen generation rate was 0.384 mol min −1 . The hydrolysis reaction towards AB was proved to the first order by the 15% Cu–ZrO 2 xerogel by kinetic studies. The activation energy was calculated to be 22.34 kJ mol −1 . Even after five recycle experiment, the catalysts also showed a good recycle stability in aqueous solution.
