Graphical Cu-modified monoclinic TiO 2 nanoflowers with OVs (Cu 1 TB-1.5) promote the reactivity and selectivity of CO 2 reduction to CO under visible light. CO selectivity is 99.6%, and the cycling stability is excellent. The Cu 1 TB-1.5 facilitates the formation of the intermediate COOH* during the photocatalytic process, thus improving the yield and selectivity of CO. The photoreduction of CO 2 has attracted extensive attention as a promising solution to global warming. In this study, Cu-modified TiO 2 (B) (CuTB) nanoflowers with oxygen vacancies (OVs) are designed and synthesized via hydrothermal treatment and photodeposition to promote the reactivity and selectivity of CO 2 reduction to CO under visible light. The CO and CH 4 yields of sample Cu 1 TB-1.5 under visible light are 5.72 and 0.02 μmol g −1 h −1 , wherein the CO yield was 15.5 times that of sample TB; its selectivity is 99.6%, and the cycling stability is excellent. OVs can broaden the light absorption of TB to the visible light region, and Cu promotes photoinduced electron transfer from TB to the Cu species and act as an active center. The OVs and Cu can synergistically enhance charge separation, CO 2 adsorption, and CO 2 conversion. The Cu 1 TB-1.5 facilitates the formation of the intermediate COOH* during the photocatalytic process, thus improving the yield and selectivity of CO. This research provides a unique idea for the development of novel highly selective photocatalysts.

This study developed a novel Cu@C/NCN-T composite for efficient photothermal catalytic CO 2 reduction. The composite, consisting of carbon-coated Cu (Cu@C) derived from Cu-BTC embedded in three-dimensional graphitic carbon nitride (NCN-T), was immobilized on the surface of carbonized wood (C-wood) floating on water, creating a triphase system (CO 2 , H 2 O, and catalyst). The optimized composite demonstrated remarkable CO 2 photothermal reduction performance, achieving a rate of 31.3 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 . This performance surpassed that of pure NCN-T and Cu@C by 1.6 and 3.8 times, respectively. The combination of Cu and carbon materials endowed Cu@C/NCN-T with excellent light-absorption properties, resulting in a photothermal effect that elevated the surface temperature and facilitated the catalytic reaction . Furthermore, the Schottky junction formed between Cu@C and NCN-T promoted the separation of electron-hole pairs, with Cu@C acting as charge channels. A charge transfer mechanism was proposed to explain these findings. This catalyst engineering approach holds promise for the development of efficient non-noble metal catalysts for rapid CO 2 photothermal reduction.

In this work, a novel Cu-Pd heterostructure, derived from CuCl-PdO x hexagonal microplates, was prepared to tune selective single hydrocarbon production from electrochemical CO 2 reduction. The CuCl-PdO x hexagonal microplates were synthesized by a dual-potential electrodeposition technique, followed by electrochemical reduction to form Cu-Pd heterostructure. This Cu-Pd heterostructure exhibited a much higher CO 2 -to-CH 4 selectivity (32 % Faradaic efficiency, FE) compared to pure Cu or Pd. Moreover, Cu-Pd heterostructure showed excellent suppression on C 2 H 4 generation (below 1 % FE). The density functional theory calculations suggested that the hollow site of Pd region in the Cu-Pd heterostructure could stablize CO* intermediate and selectively lowered the energy demand for CH 4 formation rather than C 2 H 4 . This work provides new opportunities of designing Cu-based electrocatalysts for selective CO 2 reduction to single hydrocarbon.

In this study, magnetic composite microspheres (SCFP) were prepared by cross-linking chitosan (CS), sodium alginate (SA), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and ferric tetraoxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) in a CaCl 2 solution. CS and Fe 3 O 4 were encapsulated in gel spheres formed by cross-linking SA with Ca(II), while PVA facilitated the dispersion of CS in SA. SCFP was utilized as an adsorbent to remove Cu(II) from water. The effects of the initial pH of the solution, SCFP dosage, and initial Cu(II) concentration on the adsorption efficiency were investigated through batch experiments. The results demonstrated that the adsorption capacity reached 58.260 mg/g (removal rate = 97.1%) after 100 min of adsorption at a pH of 5. The removal rate remained above 90% even after 6 cycles of the cycling experiment. The incorporation of CS with other functional materials allowed SCFP to compensate for its inherent drawbacks such as low mechanical strength, poor acid resistance, and short service life. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model and Freundlich adsorption isotherm provided better descriptions of the adsorption process. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on the structure and adsorption mechanism of SCFP using characterization techniques such as SEM-EDS, FTIR , BET, XRD , etc. In summary, SCFP has the potential to be an excellent environmentally friendly material for the removal of Cu(II).

In this study, a pulsed electrodeposition approach was used to create a Ni-Cu/ZrB 2 composite coating on the surface of J55 steel. Ni-Cu/ZrB 2 composite coatings with different material additions were prepared, and the surface morphology, grain size, microhardness and wear and corrosion resistance were investigated. The results confirmed that the embedding of ZrB 2 in the Ni-Cu coating can refine the grains and make the coating surface denser. Furthermore, ZrB 2 can effectively increase the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating; the Ni-Cu/ZrB 2 (1.0 g/L) composite coating reflects this by having the shallowest and narrowest wear cross-section as well as the lowest average friction coefficient (0.537). Additionally, the composite coating has the highest impedance modulus, reaching 83.60 kΩ/cm 2 . The composite coating improved corrosion resistance by 63.1 % compared to the pure sample. The enhancement in the coating's corrosion resistance can be attributed to three factors. Firstly, the addition of zirconium diborate refines the coating grain and changes the corrosion type from pitting corrosion to homogeneous corrosion. Secondly, zirconium diborate forms a physical barrier against corrosive ions. Lastly, the formation of the oxide layer on the coating during the process of corrosion, also enhances the material's resistance to corrosion.

Although selective oxidation of benzene to phenol (SOBP) by H2O2 is an important chemical process, overoxidation of benzene by the produced nonselective •OH during the activation of H2O2 inevitably reduces the oxidation selectivity. We, therefore, attempt to mediate the oxidation selectively by using electrophilic KHCO3 in the oxidation system. In this study, Mo–Cu/NC has been successfully synthesized via ball-milling bimetallic Mo–Cu and N-doped carbon, which exhibits high reactivity in SOBP by H2O2 and KHCO3 with a desirable phenol yield of 25.1% and selectivity of 100%. A series of characterizations and DFT calculations reveal that the reaction between H2O2 and KHCO3 produces HCO4–, which is then moderately activated on Mo1Cu2/NC via the nonradical pathway with the formation of Mo-(η2-O2) peroxo. Meanwhile, Ov at Mo1Cu2/NC facilitates the adsorption of benzene, which is then selectively oxidized by Mo-(η2-O2) peroxo to phenol via the oxygen atom transfer pathway. This study provides new insights on the importance of Mo-(η2-O2) peroxo mediated by H2O2–KHCO3 in selective oxidation of aromatic C–H bond via the nonradical pathway.

Cu-doped manganese oxide (Cu–Mn2O4) prepared using aerosol decomposition was used as a CO oxidation catalyst. Cu was successfully doped into Mn2O4due to their nitrate precursors having closed thermal decomposition properties, which ensured the atomic ratio of Cu/(Cu + Mn) in Cu–Mn2O4close to that in their nitrate precursors. The 0.5Cu–Mn2O4catalyst of 0.48 Cu/(Cu + Mn) atomic ratio had the best CO oxidation performance, withT50andT90as low as 48 and 69 °C, respectively. The 0.5Cu–Mn2O4catalyst also had (1) a hollow sphere morphology, where the sphere wall was composed of a large number of nanospheres (about 10 nm), (2) the largest specific surface area and defects on the interfacing of the nanospheres, and (3) the highest Mn3+, Cu+, and Oads ratios, which facilitated oxygen vacancy formation, CO adsorption, and CO oxidation, respectively, yielding a synergetic effect on CO oxidation. DRIFTS-MS analysis results showed that terminal-type oxygen (M=O) and bridge-type oxygen (M-O-M) on 0.5Cu–Mn2O4were reactive at a low temperature, resulting in-good low-temperature CO oxidation performance. Water could adsorb on 0.5Cu–Mn2O4and inhibited M=O and M-O-M reaction with CO. Water could not inhibit O2decomposition to M=O and M-O-M. The 0.5Cu–Mn2O4catalyst had excellent water resistance at 150 °C, at which the influence of water (up to 5%) on CO oxidation could be completely eliminated.Keywords:doping;Cu–Mn2O4;CO oxidation;oxygen vacancy;water resistance;DRIFTS-MS

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.

A number of M-Cu-ZSM-5 (M = La, Ni, La-Ni) samples were prepared via an aqueous solution ion-exchange method. The co-doping with Ni and La into a Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst enhanced the NO decomposition activity in a temperature range 350–550 °C. The characterization results indicate that doping with La effectively improved the dispersion of the Cu species forming more Cu 2+ ions in the sample, while the effect of Ni is likely to facilitate the implantation of Cu 2+ to form (Cu 2+ -O 2– -Cu 2+ ) 2+ dimers. The synergistic effect of La and Ni contributes to the increased (Cu 2+ -O 2− -Cu 2+ ) 2+ content in the co-doped sample, thus enhancing the NO decomposition activity.

Considering the surface affinity of MOFs and separation advantages of polymer membranes, herein, a one-step interface synthesis strategy is used in the construction of Cu-BTC/PVDF hybrid membranes, in which Cu2+ ions and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3BTC) were dissolved in ionized water and n-octanol separately, and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films were laid at the interface of two immiscible solvents. As a result, Cu-BTC was generated and readily self-assembled inside the PVDF films. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method were used to characterize Cu-BTC/PVDF hybrid membranes, and Congo red (CR) was selected as the target dye to evaluate the surface adsorption activity of the hybrid membranes. Batch adsorption tests under various conditions were conducted to optimize the adsorption capacity, adsorption kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics, which were analyzed to further explore the adsorption behavior. Based on this, the adsorption mechanism was discussed. It is worth noting that because of the π–π stacking interaction and hydrogen bonding, an extraordinary adsorption capacity of CR was achieved, and the good separation advantage and the cyclic adsorption performances endow the resulting Cu-BTC/PVDF hybrid membranes with promising applications in the removal of organic dyes from practical wastewater.

Ratiometric electrochemical probes are vital for reliable sensing but often suffer from complex preparation, reference molecule leakage, and single function. To address these limitations, this study reports a flower-like Cu-doped zeolite imidazolate framework (Zn 0.5 /Cu 0.5 /Co-ZIF) prepared at room temperature via simple stirring. This material acts as both an electrode material and a robust ratiometric probe for detecting catechol (CC) and acetaminophen (AP). Compared with pristine Zn/Co-ZIF, Cu doping confers several advantages: transforming lamellar Zn/Co-ZIF into a flower-like structure for enhanced electron and mass transfer; significantly improving redox current of CC/AP for high sensitivity; and generating a stable Cu-based redox signal as an internal reference, improving accuracy. The sensor achieved wide linear ranges (CC: 0.5–150 μM; AP: 0.2–300 μM) and low detection limits (CC: 0.12 μM; AP: 0.04 μM) for determination of phenol compounds. Compared to single-signal assay, the ratiometric approach showed lower RSDs and superior linear correlations. The sensor also achieved satisfactory simultaneous detection of CC and AP, along with accurate quantification in lake water samples. This work presents a facile strategy for a MOF based reference probe, offering a promising platform for stable and accurate ratiometric electrochemical sensors.
