High-performance detection of cTnI possesses great significance for diagnosis of myocardial infarction. In this work, two kinds of lower-dimensional Cu(II)-loaded polydopamines were synthesized via in-situ polymerization of dopamine for the first time using Cu-pBDC MOFs and Cu-aBDC MOFs as templates. The obtained Cu-ppDA nanosheets and Cu-apDA nanoribbons maintain the original structure of MOFs and exhibit the advantages of large specific surface area and metal coordination effect, which efficiently enhances the adsorption of single-stranded aptamer DNA probe via π–π stacking. Energy transfer from FAM-Apt probe to Cu(II)-loaded pDA occurred, resulting in the fluoresce quenching. The inference of target cTnI assembles with FAM-Apt probe and the releases from FAM-Apt/Cu-ppDA or FAM-Apt/Cu-apDA systems, leading to the fluorescence recovery. This approach enables a simple, rapid, sensitive, and specific detection method for cTnI. By contrast, FAM-Apt/Cu-ppDA system shows a lower LOD than that of FAM-Apt/Cu-apDA. Furthermore, the successful implementation of these two fluorescent sensors for the detection of cTnI in serum samples obtained from mice with myocardial infarction has been demonstrated. The outcomes of this detection aligned with those achieved through the ELISA method, suggesting their promising potential for practical application in early screening for myocardial infarction.

Multi-phase interfaces are promising for surmounting the energy barriers of electrochemical CO2 reduction involving multiple electron transfer steps, but challenges still remain in constructing interfacial micro-structures and unraveling their dynamic changes and working mechanism. Herein, highly active Ag/Cu/Cu2O heterostructures are in situ electrochemically restructured from Ag-incorporating HKUST-1, a Cu-based metal–organic framework (MOF), and accomplish efficient CO2-to-C2H4 conversion with a high faradaic efficiency (57.2% at −1.3 V vs. RHE) and satisfactory stability in flow cells, performing among the best of recently reported MOFs and their derivatives. The combination of in/ex situ characterizations and theoretical calculations reveals that Ag plays a crucial role in stabilizing Cu(I) and increasing the CO surface coverage, while the active Cu/Cu2O interfaces significantly reduce the energy barrier of C–C coupling toward the boosted ethylene production. This work not only proves MOFs as feasible precursors to derive efficient electrocatalysts on site, but also provides in-depth understanding on the working interfaces at an atomic level.

As commonly observed water pollutants, organophosphates (OPs) can induce eutrophication of water bodies and pose serious risks to the environment and human health. In this study, we investigated the degradation of tetramethylphosphonate (THPS), an OP, using micron-scale iron-copper (Fe/Cu) bimetals activated peracetic acid (PAA) system. Interestingly, the iron groups (i.e., Fe, Fe/Cu and Fe-PAA system) exhibited a biphasic response: an initial rapid response within the first 10 min followed by a slower degradation lasting from 10 to 60 min. However, the copper groups (i.e., Cu, Cu-PAA and Fe/Cu-PAA) exhibited an initial response within the first 10 min coupled with a subsequent plateau with no significant alterations thereafter. In terms of reactive oxidized species (ROS) verification, only hydroxyl radical ( • OH) was detected in the Fe and Fe-PAA systems; only singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) was detected in the Cu system; organic radicals (R-O • ) and 1 O 2 were detected in the Cu-PAA and Fe/Cu-PAA systems respectively; while • OH, R-O • and 1 O 2 were all detected in the Fe/Cu-PAA system. The presence of Cu promoted the release of electrons from iron and strengthened the single-electron transfer mode. Notably, after five consecutive runs, the removal efficiency of THPS remained above 80 %, and the k obs during the first ten minutes (11.28, 10.11, 9.12, 8.29, and 8.45 min −1 ) remained high and stable throughout the cycles. XPS spectra analysis demonstrated that for 5 cycles, the surface content of Fe 0 /Fe 2+ and Cu 0 /Cu + in the utilized materials surpassed that of the pristine Fe/Cu bimetals, indicating the self-renewal of Fe/Cu bimetals. These findings highlight the potential of Fe/Cu bimetals in effectively degrading THPS and reducing its environmental impact.

Directly capturing CO 2 in ambient air and converting it into value-added fuels using photocatalysis is a potentially valuable technology. In this study, Cu-porphyrin (tetrakis-carboxyphenyl porphyrin copper, CuTCPP) was innovatively anchored on the surface of TiO 2 (titanium dioxide) nanosheets to form an S-scheme heterojunction. Based on this, a photocatalytic reaction system for stably converting CO 2 in ambient air into value-added fuels at the gas–solid interface was constructed without addition of sacrificial agents and alkaline liquids. Under the illumination of visible light and sunlight, the evolution rate of CO is 56 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 and 73 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 , respectively, with a potential CO 2 conversion rate of 35.8 % and 50.4 %. The enhanced of photocatalytic performance is attributed to the introduction of CuTCPP, which provides additional active sites, significantly improves capture capacity of CO 2 and the utilization of electrons. Additionally, the formation of S-scheme heterojunction expands the redox range and improves the separation efficiency of photo-generated charges.

In this study, the copper-nickel (Cu–Ni) bimetallic electrocatalysts for electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction(CO 2 RR) are fabricated by taking the finely designed poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) containing abundant Salen and imidazolium chelating sites as the surficial layer, wherein Cu–Ni, PIL–Cu and PIL–Ni interaction can be readily regulated by different synthetic scheme. As a proof of concept, Cu@Salen-PIL@Ni(NO 3 ) 2 and Cu@Salen-PIL(Ni) hybrids differ significantly in the types and distribution of Ni species and Cu species at the surface, thereby delivering distinct Cu–Ni cooperation fashion for the CO 2 RR. Remarkably, Cu@Salen-PIL@Ni(NO 3 ) 2 provides a C2+ faradaic efficiency (FE C2+ ) of 80.9% with partial current density ( j C 2+ ) of 262.9 mA cm −2 at −0.80 V (versus reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE) in 1 m KOH in a flow cell, while Cu@Salen-PIL(Ni) delivers the optimal FE C2+ of 63.8% at j C2+ of 146.7 mA cm −2 at −0.78 V. Mechanistic studies indicates that the presence of Cu–Ni interfaces in Cu@Salen-PIL@Ni(NO 3 ) 2 accounts for the preserve of high-valence Cu(I) species under CO 2 RR conditions. It results in a high activity of both CO 2 -to-CO conversion and C–C coupling while inhibition of the competitive HER.

In the domain of heterogeneous catalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS), high-valent metal-oxo (HVMO) species are widely recognized as potent oxidants for the abatement of organic pollutants. However, the generation selectivity and efficiency of HVMO are often constrained by stringent requirements for catalyst adsorption sites and electron transfer efficiency. In this study, a single-atom catalyst, Cu SA /CN P&S, is synthesized featuring multiple types (planar/axial) of heteroatom coordination via an H-bond-assisted self-assembly strategy. It is confirmed that CuN 3 active centers with axial S coordination are uniformly distributed in a carbon matrix modified by planar P atoms. Cu SA /CN P&S activated PMS to selectively generate Cu (III) ═OH species as the primary reactive oxygen species (ROS). The pseudo-first-order kinetic rate for bisphenol A degradation reached 1.51 min −1 , a 17.57-fold increase compared to the unmodified Cu SA /CN catalyst. Additionally, the Cu SA /CN P&S catalyst demonstrates high efficiency and durability in removing contaminants from various aqueous matrices. Theoretical calculations and experimental results indicate that the intrinsic electric field generated by distal planar P atoms enhances electron transfer efficiency within the carbon matrix. Meanwhile, axial S coordination elevates the d-band center and tunes the e g * band broadening of Cu, thereby enhancing the adsorption selectivity for the terminal oxygen of PMS. This multitype coordination synergistically mitigates the issues of low selectivity and yield of HVMO species.

Developing multifunctional and super-wetting separation materials is of great significance for treating complex oily wastewater in real environment. Herein, the superhydrophilic Cu-HHTP@Cu foam with hierarchical structure was fabricated by chemical oxidation and in situ growth strategies, which showed an outstanding separation efficiency (>99.4 %) and flux (>92.1 kL∙m −2 ∙h −1 ) for various oil/water mixtures. The electrostatic attraction, π − π interactions and hydrogen bonding between Cu-HHTP@Cu foam and dyes facilitate the adsorption process, with a removal efficiency > 94.7 %. To absorb high-viscosity crude oil, the Cu-HHTP@Cu foam was further modified with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to finally obtain superhydrophobic PDMS@Cu-HHTP@Cu foam, which demonstrates high separation efficiency (>99.8 %) and flux (>90.3 kL∙m −2 ∙h −1 ). Both Cu-HHTP@Cu foam and PDMS@Cu-HHTP@Cu foam also showed stable durability after 20-cycle tests. More importantly, due to the introduction of Cu-HHTP, PDMS@Cu-HHTP@Cu foam presented excellent photothermal conversion behavior with the surface temperature reaching up to 72.0℃ under simulated sunlight, which remarkably facilitate the cleaning of crude oil. This work shows that modified Cu foam is a promising candidate for absorbing dyes and treating crude oil spills and is expected to provide a convenient method for oil/water separation.

Selective synthesis of cyclopentanol (CPL) from biomass-derived furfural (FAL) is highly attractive, but it still faces serious challenges. In this work, an alloyed Cu–Co catalyst derived from Cu–Co–Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) was grafted onto sulfur-doped coffee biochar for the first time (Cu–Co–Al/SCB). Cu–Co–Al/SCB achieved a maximum CPL yield of 97.5% and a high turnover frequency (TOF) of 15.6 h–1 in the selective hydrogenative rearrangement of FAL at 140 °C. The characterization results demonstrated that grafting Cu–Co–Al onto SCB results in the formation of Cu–Co alloys and a strong interaction between them. Further characterization and activity tests demonstrated that the formation of a highly dispersed Cu–Co alloy and in situ generated Brønsted acid sites collaboratively catalyzes the selective hydrogenative rearrangement of FAL to CPL over Cu–Co–Al/SCB, and the strong interaction between the Cu–Co alloy and sulfur-doped coffee biochar endowed Cu–Co–Al/SCB with remarkable stability. As a result, Cu–Co–Al/SCB is a promising catalyst for the selective hydrogenative rearrangement of FAL.

N -methylation of amines, nitro compounds and nitriles with CO 2 and H 2 offers a promising strategy for CO 2 utilization. However, developing highly efficient and stable Cu-based catalysts for selective mono- N -methylation of aniline remains challenging. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of a Cu-ZnO/TiO 2 catalyst, with the optimized 5 %Cu-7.5 %ZnO/TiO 2 catalyst achieving a 96.7 % yield of N -methylaniline (MA) and an initial turnover frequency (TOF) of 7.4 h −1 after 6 h under 453 K, 2 MPa CO 2 and 4 MPa H 2 . This performance surpasses all reported Cu-based catalysts and rivals noble metal-based systems. The catalyst demonstrated reusability at least four cycles and versatility in the N -methylation of various amines, nitro compounds, and nitriles. Kinetic studies revealed reaction orders of 0 with respect to aniline concentration and CO 2 pressure, and 1 with respect to H 2 pressure. Based on kinetics and extensive characterization, we propose a reaction mechanism over 5 %Cu-7.5 %ZnO/TiO 2 , identifying Cu nanoparticles as the active sites. The process proceeds via N -phenylcarbamic acid and N -phenylformamide intermediates, with the hydrogenation of N -phenylcarbamic acid as the rate-determining step.

The burgeoning growth of the new energy vehicles and aviation industry has escalated the need for energy storage capacitors capable of stable operation in harsh environments. The advent of metal-polyimide complexes has illuminated a novel approach for preparing temperature-resistant capacitors. However, the general application of these metal-polyimide complexes is impeded by the high dielectric loss and low breakdown strength, consequences of main-chain coordination and excessive metal ions content. Herein, our study proposes a novel polyimide-Cu complex material (POP-Cu) predicated on side-chain-type pyridine-Cu coordination, utilizing the structural backbone PMDA-ODA of mature commercial PI (Kapton) with reliable performance. Owing to the high degree of freedom afforded by the side chain with suppressed relaxation activation energy and the long-range electron delocalization formed by d - π coordination, the dielectric constant of this material containing merely 2.7 mol% Cu increases from 3.25 (POPI) to 5.58, while maintaining a remarkably low dielectric loss of 0.0066. Meanwhile, this material exhibits a substantial DC breakdown strength of 436.2 MV·m −1 and a high energy density of 5.42 J·cm −3 , coupled with superior mechanical and thermal properties. Even at 150 °C, it retains over 90% of its room-temperature energy density, demonstrating notable dielectric stability under high temperatures. These attributes underscore its promising application for capacitors operating in harsh environments.

Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by mucosal damage and impaired epithelial barrier function. While glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine-copper (GHK-Cu) exhibits known anti-inflammatory properties, its therapeutic mechanisms in UC remain undefined. This study was designed to systematically evaluate the therapeutic potential of GHK-Cu in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced murine model of UC, with particular emphasis on elucidating its regulatory effects on the NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-1 (SIRT1)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway.Methods: UC was induced in BALB/c mice with 3% DSS for 14 days. The protein expression levels of tight junction associated protein-1 (ZO-1), Occludin, inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, SIRT1, STAT3, p-STAT3, and retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt) were detected by Western blot. Histopathological changes were evaluated by Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) and Alcian blue-periodic acid-Schiff (AB-PAS). Network pharmacology and molecular docking were used to predict the core targets of GHK Cu in the treatment of UC. An in vitro UC model was also established in mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) using lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and a co culture model was constructed using mouse colonic epithelial cells (MCECs) and MPMs to examine the role of GHK Cu in promoting mucosal healing. STAT3 was silenced by gene transfection technology to verify the core role of STAT3 in GHK Cu treatment of UC.Results: GHK-Cu alleviated weight loss, improved the disease activity index (DAI), reduced colonic edema and shortening, attenuated inflammatory damage, increased goblet cell numbers, suppressed inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, and promoted mucosal repair. Additionally, a co-culture system of MCECs and MPMs revealed that GHK-Cu facilitated MCECs healing, impaired by DSS, by upregulating ZO-1 and Occludin expression. Subsequently, network pharmacology and molecular docking identified SIRT1 as a potential target of GHK-Cu. Results showed that GHK-Cu upregulated SIRT1 protein expression and suppressed the expression of phosphorylated p-STAT3 in colon tissue and MCECs of the co-culture model. Our findings revealed that after transfection with STAT3-targeting siRNA (siSTAT3), the stimulant effect of GHK-Cu on the healing of MCECs and the effect on the protein expression of ZO-1 and Occludin is canceled. Nevertheless, after transfection with siSTAT3, it could inhibit the expression of inflammatory factors in conjunction with GHK-Cu. Furthermore, we found that GHK-Cu could inhibit RORγt expression in the colon tissue of UC mice.Discussion: This study found that GHK-Cu demonstrated significant therapeutic effects in DSS-induced UC in mice. GHK-Cu may promote mucosal healing and enhance tight junction protein expression by regulating the SIRT1/STAT3 pathway. In addition to suppressing p-STAT3 expression, GHK-Cu may utilize additional pathways to inhibit inflammatory factors. Furthermore, GHK-Cu may reduce the number of Th17 cells. In summary, GHK-Cu may treat UC by acting on the SIRT1/STAT3 pathway.

Cu-ZnO is a promising sorbent for the removal of thiophene. However, the aggregation and growth of copper grains during the heating reaction leads to the sintering deactivation of the sorbent. Although various strategies have been proposed to introduce supports to mitigate these defects, the impact of supports on the desulfurization performance of sorbent remains poorly understood. In this study, Cu-ZnO/Al 2 O 3 sorbents were synthesized with excellent performance by incorporating Al 2 O 3 (derived from Al(NO 3 ) 3 , γ-Al 2 O 3 and AlOOH as aluminum sources) using co-precipitation and fractional precipitation methods. The thiophene removal evaluation was conducted in a fixed bed reactor. The results indicates that the breakthrough adsorption capacity for thiophene ( Q b-thiophene ) of sorbent synthesized using γ-Al 2 O 3 and AlOOH is approximately 25 % higher than that of those synthesized with Al(NO 3 ) 3 . In comparison to Al(NO 3 ) 3 , γ-Al 2 O 3 and AlOOH exert less influence on the precipitation and crystallization processes of Cu 2+ and Zn 2+ . Sorbents synthesized with γ-Al 2 O 3 and AlOOH as aluminum sources demonstrate higher copper dispersion, larger specific surface area and smaller grain size, all of which significantly enhance the desulfurization activity of sorbent. Furthermore, the use of γ-Al 2 O 3 and AlOOH as aluminum sources contributes to an increase in ZnO and unsaturated Zn δ+ contents on sorbent surface. This improvement enhances hydrogen storage capacity and promotes hydrogen spillover at the Cu-ZnO interface; additionally, it facilitates both the adsorption activation of thiophene and the stable fixation of sulfur species. These findings provide an important theoretical basis for the design and large-scale application of efficient desulfurization sorbents.
