Electrocatalytic glycerol oxidation reaction to produce high-value organic chemicals has research significance for managing the overproduction of glycerol and handling the energy crisis. Herein, a copper-based self-supporting catalytic electrode with a dynamic Fe-O-Cu optimized coordination (Fe-CuO x /CF) was prepared. The oxygen-bridged asymmetric coordination structure (Fe-O-Cu) optimized the electronic configuration and promoted the formation of the crucial intermediate species. After Fe was embedded in the lattice of copper oxides, a remarkable enhancement in the adsorption capacity of OH - and glycerol was confirmed. As a result, Fe-CuO x /CF exhibited an excellent production capacity of formate, with high faradaic efficiency and selectivity values of 93.65 % and 95.10 %. Concurrent production of formate and high purity hydrogen was achieved in the double-electrode flow electrolyzer. This work provides guiding significance for the optimization of the catalytic coordination and the design of high-efficiency transition metal-based catalysts for electrooxidation of biomass platform molecules.

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings with long-lasting active protection were prepared by incorporating 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT)-loaded halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), followed by introduced insoluble Cu-MBT complex, has been achieved in present study. To further compare and analyze the corrosion characteristics of the sample, different halloysite nanotubes (HNTs, MBT@HNTs) profiles were also added to the electrolytes for the preparation of different oxide films (HNTs-PEO and MBT-HNTs-PEO). The coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), film thickness meter, roughness meter, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The corrosion behavior was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and open circuit potential (OCP) tests. The results show that the long-term corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys can be improved by adding Cu - MBT-HNTs owning to the self-healing effect.

The electroreduction of CO2(CO2RR) is a promising and environmentally sustainable approach to closing the carbon cycle. However, achieving high activity and selectivity for multicarbon (C2₊) products remains a significant challenge due to the complexity of reaction pathways. In this study, porous carbon-supported copper catalysts (CuHCS) with pore sizes of 120 nm (CuHCS120) and 500 nm (CuHCS500) were synthesized to tailor the microenvironment at the electrode–electrolyte interface and enhance product selectivity. CuHCS120 achieved a maximum faradaic efficiency (FE) for C2₊ products of 46%, double that of CuHCS500 (23%). In contrast, CuHCS500 showed a higher FE for CO (36%) compared to CuHCS120 (14%) at the same potential. In-depth ex situ and in situ investigations revealed that smaller pores promote the enrichment and adsorption of *CO intermediates, thereby enhancing C–C coupling and the formation of C2₊ products. These findings underscore the critical role of structural confinement in modulating the catalytic microenvironment and provide valuable insights for the rational design of advanced catalysts for CO2RR.

Arsenic is a harmful associated element in antimony ore, which might bring out the risk of leakage during complex industrial production of high-purity antimony. Herein, we reported a novel and efficient way to remove the trace arsenic impurity from acidic SbCl 3 solution by utilizing copper-system bimetallic particles. Specifically, galvanically coupled Cu 2 Sb/Cu was in-situ synthesized by introducing precursor copper powder to the specific SbCl 3 solution. DFT studies revealed that Sb(III) was easily reduced by Cu to form Cu 2 Sb due to the strong adsorption of Sb(III) on Cu (111) crystal plane. The Cu 2 Sb/Cu coupling exhibited excellent activity for As(III) reduction, over 99.4% arsenic were removed under optimal conditions and residual arsenic concentration dropped to only 2.7 mg L −1 . Crucially, Sb(III) concentration changes could be neglected. Besides, the dearsenization residues were extensively characterized to analyze the evolvement and cause in the reaction process. The results confirmed that the arsenic removal mechanisms by Cu 2 Sb/Cu particles were multi-affected, including adsorption, displacement, and precipitation. And the strong electrostatic attraction of AsO + under high HCl conditions was identified as a key step to achieving dearsenization. This research will provide a theoretical guidance for the green synthesis of high-purity antimony and related products.

Precise design of photocatalysts with the demanded active surface structure for highly efficient and selective CO2 photoreduction is crucial but challenging. Here, by taking CdS as a prototype, single-atom Cu is successfully constructed on Cd-deficient CdS (Cd1–xS) to improve the performance of CO2 photoreduction with H2O as proton donor. The optimal Cu/Cd1–xS with Cd vacancies (VCd)-mediated single-atom Cu exhibits nearly 100% selective CO production and a more than three-fold higher CO evolution rate compared to that of Cd1–xS. Both experimental identification and DFT theoretical simulation unveil that the VCd-mediated single-atom Cu render Cu–S pair sites to function as more catalytically active sites for dissociating H2O and promoting the corresponding proton supply, which favors the subsequent protonation of the adsorbed CO2 at the adjacent Cd sites via the two-proton coupled two-electron transfer pathway. This work demonstrates the importance of modulating proton supply from the oxidation half-reaction for facilitating the overall CO2 photoreduction, advocating an overall-reaction perspective for the design and development of highly efficient and selective CO2 conversion photocatalysts.

With the frequent increase and update of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials, a low-resolution material that can absorb most electromagnetic waves, thereby effectively reducing the secondary pollution, is urgently needed. However, the excellent performance, flexibility, and low cost of these methods are usually incompatible with current reports. To address the above dilemma, we reported a facile solution for fabricating a low-reflection and high-performance EMI shielding composite by means of electroless nickel plating (EP-Ni), electroless copper plating (EP-Cu), annealing, and coating with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer with the structure of a Ni@Cu tube encapsulated with PDMS. The results indicate that the active groups on vegetable wool can act as active sites for the absorption of the Pd catalyst, thereby catalyzing the reduction of Ni2+, Cu2+, and the subsequent deposition on the plant fiber surface. Notably, the Ni@Cu-encapsulated plant fibers decreased during annealing at 100 °C. According to the segregated network and synergistic effect of the porous structure, the as-fabricated EMI shielding material demonstrated high absorption and low reflection, in which the power coefficient of the T value was approximately 0.0001, the R value was about 0.1764 (a decrease of 27.5% compared that of EP-Ni cotton), and the A value was approximately 0.8235.

Cu–1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (Cu–BTC) exhibited potential for hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) removal, however, its sulfur capacity is limited due to it relies only on the adsorption reaction path. Herein, a series of Fe-doped Cu–BTC materials (denoted as x Fe–Cu–BTC) were synthesized to enhance H 2 S removal capacity via a adsorption–oxidation bifunctional synergism mechanism. The prepared materials were characterized using various techniques, and their H 2 S removal performance was measured under dry and ambient conditions. The experimental results demonstrated that the 18%Fe–Cu–BTC shown the optimal breakthrough sulfur capacity of 122.8 mg S/g, marking a 2.1-fold and 10.3-fold improvement over pure Cu–BTC and Fe–BTC, respectively. The characterization analyses revealed that the Cu 2+ active sites initially react with H 2 S to form CuS, while the incorporated Fe 3+ sites trigger the oxidation of CuS, yielding elemental sulfur, Cu 2+ and Fe 2+ . The resultant Cu 2+ and Fe 2+ further engage in reactions with H 2 S to form CuS and FeS, thereby enhancing the H 2 S removal capacity via dual reaction pathways of adsorption and oxidation. Additionally, appropriate Fe doping increased the specific surface area and pore volume of Cu–BTC, which exposed more active sites and improved molecular diffusion. Based on the obtained findings, a plausible desulfurization mechanism involving adsorption and oxidation synergism for remove H 2 S was proposed.

Although precise regulation of the crystalline structures of metal oxides is an effective method to improve their antibacterial activities, the corresponding mechanisms involved in this process are still unclear. In this study, three kinds of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) samples with different structures of cubes, octahedra, and rhombic dodecahedra (c-Cu2O, o-Cu2O, and r-Cu2O) have been successfully synthesized and their antibacterial activities are compared. The antibacterial activities follow the order of r-Cu2O > o-Cu2O > c-Cu2O, revealing the significant dependence of the antibacterial activities on the crystalline structures of Cu2O. Quenching experiments, as well as the NBT and DPD experiments indicate that ≡CuII─OO• superoxo and ≡CuII─OOH peroxo, instead of •OH, O2•–, and H2O2, are the primary oxidizing species in the oxidative damage to E. coli. Raman analysis further confirms the presence of both ≡CuII─OO• superoxo and ≡CuII─OOH peroxo on the surface of r-Cu2O. On the other hand, the NCP experiment reveals that Cu+, instead of Cu2+, also contributes to the antibacterial process. This study provides new insight into the antibacterial mechanisms of Cu2O.

The graphene oxide (GO) functionalized by Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @CS-TETA nanoparticles, Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @CS-TETA-GO, was firstly fabricated in a mild way as a novel adsorbent for the removal of Cu(II) ions and methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The magnetic composites showed a good dispersity in water and can be conveniently collected for reuse through magnetic separation due to its excellent magnetism. When the Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @CS- TETA-GO was used as an absorbent for the absorption of MB and Cu(II), the adsorption kinetics and isotherms data well fitted the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir model, respectively. Under the optimized pH and initial concentration, the maximum adsorption capacity was about 529.1 mg g −1 for MB in 20 min and 324.7 mg g −1 for Cu(II) in 16 min, respectively, exhibiting a better adsorption performance than other GO-based adsorbents reported recently. More importantly, the synthesized adsorbent could be effectively regenerated and repeatedly utilized without significant capacity loss after six times cycles. All the results demonstrated that Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @CS-TETA-GO could be used as an excellent adsorbent for the adsorption of Cu(II) and MB in many fields.

In the development of back electrodes for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the major challenges are stability and cost. To address this, we present an innovative approach: Simultaneous evaporation of two independently controlled sources of metal materials was performed to achieve a uniform distribution of the alloy electrodes. In this study, Ag–Cu alloys (the molar ratio of Ag/Cu is 7/3) with a high-index crystal face (111) and a work function matching perovskite were prepared using a codeposition technique. These properties mitigate nonradiative carrier recombination at the interface and reduce the energy barrier for carrier migration. Consequently, compared to Ag based PSCs (22.77%), the implementation of Ag–Cu alloy (Ag/Cu is 7/3)-based PSCs resulted in a power conversion efficiency of 23.72%. In a 1500 h tracking test in ambient air, the Ag–Cu alloy (Ag/Cu is 7/3)-based PSCs maintained their initial efficiency of 86%. This can be attributed to almost no migration of elements from the Ag–Cu alloy electrode to the perovskite layer. Our work presents a vital strategy for improving the stability of PSCs and reducing the costs associated with the back electrode in PSCs.

The application of photocatalysis for the production of high-purity and high-energy-density green ammonia holds substantial promise. However, the restricted light absorption efficiency and high recombination rate of electron-hole pairs present significant obstacles to its practical deployment. In this study, we enhanced the photocatalytic efficiency of N 2 fixation by engineering a Mott-Schottky heterojunction and incorporating hollow microreactors. We synthesized Hollow-ZnO (H-ZnO) using ZIF-8 as a precursor and subsequently deposited Cu nanoparticles onto the H-ZnO to create the H-ZnO/Cu photocatalyst. The hollow structure not only bolstered the catalyst’s light scattering and absorption capabilities but also reduced the path length for photogenerated electron transitions, thereby improving the efficiency of electron transport and effectively inhibiting electron-hole pair recombination. Under Xe lamp irradiation, the H-ZnO/Cu-3 photocatalyst achieved a superior NH 4 + yield of 68.1 μmol g −1 h −1 without the addition of any sacrificial reagents, representing a 7.5-fold enhancement over pure ZnO. This research offers a novel strategy for designing metal oxide photocatalysts derived from MOFs and developing cost-effective photocatalytic systems.

Thermoelectric materials have great potential in the energy recovery and environmental protection, and thermoelectric films can also effectively achieve heat dissipation of the chip through thermoelectric refrigeration. WS 2 films show good thermoelectric performance in prediction, but the figure of merit ( ZT ) of the synthesized WS 2 films still needs improvement. In this work, Cu was doped into WS 2 films by magnetron sputtering combined with chemical vapor deposition and sulfurization annealing. Cu doping narrowed the band gap and increased the hole concentration from 5.6 × 10 19 cm −3 to 2.2 × 10 21 cm −3 , greatly improved the electrical properties of WS 2 film. At 300 K, the electrical conductivity and power factor of Cu-doped films increased by 1086 % and 575 % compared to pristine WS 2 , respectively. In addition, Cu doping reduced the grain size and introduced more grain boundaries, which decreased the in-plane thermal conductivity to as low as 0.22 W m −1 K −1 at 300 K. The coupling of the electrical and thermal properties optimization greatly improved ZT . The ZT value of Cu 5.5 -WS 2 films is as high as 0.181 at 425 K. This work provides a new idea for improving the thermoelectric performance of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) films.
