Pseudocapacitive electrochemical Na+-storage has been highlighted as one of the exploitable strategies for overcoming the sluggish diffusion-limited redox kinetics due to the effective structural preservation and fast ion-adsorption/desorption at the surface or quasi-surface of electrode materials. However, exploiting pseudocapacitive hosts with a micro–nano hierarchitecture and further achieving competitive pseudocapacitive contributions are still in their infancy so far. Herein, a yolk–shell NiS2/CuS hollow microspherical architecture with superb kinetically pseudocapacitive features was successfully constructed through an in situ hydrothermal sulfidation and subsequent ion-exchange route using Ni-based bimetallic (NiZn) organic frameworks (NiZn-MOFs) as a template precursor. As expected, the strongly synergistic coupling effect and hollow structural characteristic of the NiS2/CuS heterostructure enabled fast charge transfer and Na+ immigration, as well as the release of the mechanical stress/strain induced by the conversion reaction, and not unexpectedly, the NiS2/CuS electrode afforded extraordinary Na+-storage capability, including a remarkable specific capacity of 410.9 mA h g−1 after 750 cycles at 2.0 A g−1, excellent rate capability, and prolonged cyclability in terms of a remarkable 283.4 mA h g−1 even after 4200 cycles at 20.0 A g−1. More significantly, the kinetic analysis demonstrated that the electrochemical charge storage of the NiS2/CuS electrode manifested considerable pseudocapacitive contributions at all rates (90.0% to 96.9%), distinctly outperforming the previously reported NiS2-/CuS-based anodes. Furthermore, the density functional theoretical calculations suggested a fast Na+-transport kinetics and enhanced antibonding state energy level and Na2S adsorption energy due to the electronic redistribution and lattice distortion in the NiS2/CuS heterointerfaces.

The heterojunction photodetector between n-SrTiO 3 (n-STO) and p-CuS-ZnS (p-CZS) is prepared by a simple chemical bath deposition. The p-CZS/n-STO photodetector exhibits excellent self-powered characteristics under 390-nm light illumination, including high photosensitivity (on/off ratio of 300), fast response speed (0.7/94.6 ms), and good wavelength selectivity (410-380 nm). More importantly, the self-powered n-STO photodetectors can be regulated by varying the composition of CZS film (p-CZS, p-CuS, and n-ZnS). All devices exhibit a large open-circuit voltage and show different self-powered behaviors because of the different built-in electric fields. The open-circuit voltages of the CZS/STO, CuS/STO, and ZnS/STO devices are measured to be 0.56, 0.30, and 0.35 V, respectively. This work provides a simple and effective way to fabricate tunable self-powered photodetectors by varying the composition of the nanocomposite film.

A copper-based metal organic framework (MOF-199) with controllable size and shape was synthesized and used to remove gaseous methyl mercaptan (CH3SH). Characterizations of the synthesized MOF-199 samples before and after desulfurization were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to observe the adsorption mechanism of CH3SH on MOF-199. The adsorption performance of the synthesized MOF-199 materials and commercialized activated carbon (AC) and Cu loaded AC were evaluated by breakthrough experiments. All three synthesized MOF-199 materials show better performance than commercialized AC. The morphology and texture of MOF-199 materials have great influence on the performance of the adsorption process. The MOF-199 material synthesized by a hydrothermal method exhibited the highest sulfur compound capacity among the synthesized MOF-199 materials (74.7 mg of CH3SH/1 g MOF-199). The color change of MOF-199 during the CH3SH capturing process, indicated a strong interaction between the unsaturated copper sites and –SH group which finally formed CuS and gave rise to obvious damage to the MOF structure.

Graphene decorated with hierarchical CuS nanoplates (CuS NP-G) was synthesized using a microwave method to be used as a photocatalytic material. The incorporation of graphene into hierarchical CuS nanoplates was confirmed by structural, morphological and optical characterizations. The photocatalytic performance of the nanocomposite was evaluated. This study confirmed that the introduction of graphene was an effective way not only to improve the structural stability and service durability of the composite, but also to improve its solar photocatalytic activity by promoting the electron transfer and charge separation of hierarchical CuS nanoplates.

There are growing concerns and worries about the safety of public facilities and equipment. Therefore, coating products with antibacterial properties have become the key to solve this problem, and there is an urgent need to develop new antibacterial architectural coatings. In this study,
polystyrene nano-microspheres (PS NMS) were prepared from styrene as raw material. PS nano-microcapsules (PS NMC) were prepared by solute co-diffusion method (SCM) using PS NMS as a template, which were modified to obtain PS-OH NMC. CuS nanoparticles (CuS NPs) with antibacterial activity were
further loaded to prepare CuS@PS-OH NMC with long-term antibacterial activity. The SEM results showed that the particle size of CuS@PS-OH NMC was about 410 nm, which was larger than that of PS-OH NMC. The characterization of UV and IR spectra confirmed that CuS NPs were not only encapsulated
into PS NMC in large quantities, but also adhered to its surface in a small amount. CuS@PS-OH NMC has good water solubility and can slowly release Cu2+, showing good long-term antibacterial properties against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The CuS@PS-OH
NMC developed in this study has excellent performance, good antibacterial effect, environmental friendliness, low price, etc. More importantly, it can efficiently and long-term inhibit MRSA, and can be used as a potential antibacterial architectural coating for special scenarios such as hospitals,
schools and densely populated places, which has excellent social and economic value.

The industrial application potential of current adsorbents for Au(III) recovery is limited due to their high costs, poor adsorption capacity, and complicated preparation processes. This study introduces a novel approach to address these challenges by synthesizing metal sulfides through a one-step hydrothermal method. The synthesized metal sulfides exhibit exceptional adsorption capacities, exceeding 1500 mg/g. Particularly, petal-shaped CuS demonstrates outstanding performance in extracting gold from complex solutions, including fresh water and simulated leaching liquid of electronic circuit boards. With an impressive adsorption capacity of 2536 mg/g in a 700 mg/L Au (III) spiked solution, CuS achieves a remarkable 90.6% removal efficiency. The adsorption process of CuS on gold can be well described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir model. Furthermore, CuS is successfully loaded onto sodium alginate (SA) aerogel for large-scale applications. The layered structure of SA overcomes the challenge of solution retrieval, making it a promising material with outstanding removal performance for industrial use. In cases where a high specific surface area does not confer advantages, CuS demonstrates superior performance compared to numerous gold ion adsorbents. This observation motivates us to emphasize the content of active functional groups during the design of gold ion adsorbents. This research significantly advances the field of Au(III) recovery by providing cost-effective and efficient adsorbents with simplified synthesis processes and strong adsorption capabilities.

With the increasing scarcity of resources, the search for green and available energy has become an urgent need. Among them, photocatalytic decomposition of water to hydrogen production has been widely studied. According to zeta potential and XRD characterization, NiCo2O4 and CuS were successfully reassembled by electrostatic self-assembly to construct S-scheme heterojunction induced by built-in electric site, which can accelerate the reaction. At the same time, under simulated visible light irradiation, the composite catalyst can rapidly decompose aqueous triethanolamine solution to produce hydrogen. The composite catalyst has high photocatalytic activity and shows a durable and efficient hydrogen generation effect. By studying the photogenerated carrier separation and transfer of the catalyst, the results show that the composite catalyst can accelerate the photogenerated carrier separation and transfer, so that it can participate in the photocatalytic reaction faster. It provides various insights into the construction of different heterojunctions in binary composite catalysts. Graphical Abstract

The addition of CuS could enhance the catalytic activity of FeOCl. • The FeOCl/CuS/PMS can completely degrade ciprofloxacin within 4 min. • The FeOCl/CuS/PMS could work efficiently at pH 3–9. • FeOCl/CuS/PMS system contained reactive species (·OH, SO 4 ·- and O 2 ·- ). FeOCl serves as an effective iron-based catalyst in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for antibiotic removal. However, its catalytic efficiency is hindered by the sluggish redox cycling between Fe 3+ and Fe 2+ . To overcome this limitation, a composite catalyst of FeOCl/CuS was synthesized to enhance catalytic activity. At an optimal mass ratio of FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O to CuS of 1:2, the FeOCl/CuS system achieved complete degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) within 4 min. Notably, the catalyst exhibited high degradation efficiency across a broad pH range, demonstrating strong environmental adaptability. Although common co-existing anions and humic acid exerted inhibitory effects on CIP degradation to varying extents, the system remained robust under complex water matrices. Radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analyses confirmed that hydroxyl radicals (·OH), sulfate radicals (SO 4 ·- ), and superoxide anions (O 2 ·- ) were the dominant reactive species responsible for pollutant degradation. The incorporation of CuS significantly accelerated the Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ redox cycle, thereby improving PMS activation efficiency. Reaction pathway analysis revealed that CIP was degraded via two primary routes, generating 16 intermediate products, the majority of which showed reduced ecotoxicity compared to the parent compound. Furthermore, the FeOCl/CuS catalyst maintained excellent stability and reusability, retaining over 93% CIP degradation efficiency after four consecutive cycles. These results collectively highlight the promising potential of the FeOCl/CuS/PMS system for practical wastewater treatment applications.

Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) have recently attracted extensive attention in various fields due to their excellent optical and electrical properties. However, CuS NPs are easy to agglomerate in their preparation on account of the high surface activity. In this study, uniform dispersion of CuS NPs were fabricated with corn stalk as a template and stabilizer, further CuS@corn stalk/chitin composite hydrogel was obtained by crosslinking with chitin. The results reveal that the CuS NPs were evenly dispersed into the composite hydrogels with a three-dimensional network structure, which were verified by the UV-vis spectrum, XRD, FT-IR spectra and SEM. In addition, the as-prepared composite hydrogel with the traits of peroxidase-like activity can convert H2O2into an extremely oxidative and toxic ·OH, which manifested good effects for photodegradation of RhB and antibacterial againstEscherichia coliandStaphylococcus aureus. Hence, the composite hydrogels could be used for photocatalytic treatment and sterilization of wastewater, which provides a new idea for the functional application of CuS NPs.

The presence of heavy metals in wastewater poses a substantial threat to both public health and the environment. However, the selective removal and separation of heavy metal ions at ultra-low concentrations from wastewater remains a considerable challenge. In this paper, we innovatively proposed a magnetic precipitation separation method to remove Cu (II) from wastewater using Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and Na 2 S. In this process, the Cu (II) was reduced to CuS by Na 2 S, which then rapidly aggregated with Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles to form Fe 3 O 4 -CuS nanoclusters. SEM, DLS, XRD, VSM and XPS studies demonstrated that the removal of Cu (II) was related to the formation of Fe 3 O 4 -CuS nanoclusters. The results indicated that the removal efficiency of Cu (II) from wastewater could reach 99.75 % within 30 s. In contrast, the removal efficiencies of Co (II), Ni (II), and Zn (II) were 7.64 %, 6.14 %, and 8.41 %, respectively. In addition, the Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were easily regenerated from Fe 3 O 4 -CuS nanoclusters using ultrasound, maintaining 98 % removal efficiency of Cu (II) after six consecutive cycles. These results suggested that this method held great potential for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater.

Although photoacoustic imaging combined with second near infrared (NIR II) molecular probes for tumor diagnosis has drawn tremendous attention during the past few decades, the targeted photoacoustic imaging of orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) still remains a challenge due to high liver vascularization and non-specificity of probes in liver tumors. Herein, we report on cyclic arginine–glycine–aspartic acid (cRGD) peptide conjugated ultrasmall CuS nanoparticles (CuS@BSA-RGD NPs) which encapsulate bovine serum albumin (BSA) and possess high optical absorption at 1064 nm. The encapsulation of BSA results in great biocompatibility of CuS@BSA-RGD NPs along with excellent photostability and physiological stability. The cRGD conjugation enables the improvement of tumor uptake of CuS@BSA-RGD NPs by virtue of its positive tumor cell targeting capability. The efficient accumulation of CuS@BSA-RGD NPs in the tumor over time after intravenous administration to orthotopic HCC bearing mice was achieved, which resulted in highly sensitive photoacoustic visualization of the tumor region. Toxicity studies indicate that CuS@BSA-RGD NPs exhibited negligible systemic toxicity in vivo. The results demonstrate that the CuS@BSA-RGD NPs might hold great promise for future imaging and diagnosis of cancer.
