Enhancing the oxygen reduction catalytic activity and thermal compatibility of cathode materials under intermediate-temperature conditions remains pivotal for advancing the commercialization of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Therefore, this article regulates the crystal structure of NdBaCo 2 O 5+δ (NBC)-based double perovskite by Cu, replacing Co with a small amount of Cu ions to increase the oxygen vacancy content of the cathode material and reduce the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of NBC-based materials, to improve the electric catalytic activity and long-term stability of SOFC. The distribution of relaxation time results confirms that compared with NBC, NdBaCo 1.8 Cu 0.2 O 5+δ (NBCC2) can greatly enhance oxygen's dissociation and adsorption rates. As a symmetrical cell at 650 °C, the area-specific resistance (ASR) of NBCC2 is only 0.067 Ω cm −2 , which is about 40 % of NBC. As the cathode of SOFC, the maximum power density of the NBCC2-based cell reaches 0.67 W cm 2 , which is 1.58 times that of NBC, and Cu doping improves the long-term stability problem caused by the high TEC of Co-based materials. This study provides an effective solution for further enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of Co-based perovskite and addressing stability issues caused by high TEC.

Purpose The treatment of craniofacial bone defects caused by trauma, tumors, and infectious and degenerative diseases is a significant issue in current clinical practice. Following the rapid development of bone tissue engineering (BTE) in the last decade, bioactive scaffolds coupled with multifunctional properties are in high demand with regard to effective therapy for bone defects. Herein, an innovative bone scaffold consisting of GO/Cu nanoderivatives and GelMA-based organic-inorganic hybrids was reported for repairing full-thickness calvarial bone defect.Methods In this study, motivated by the versatile biological functions of nanomaterials and synthetic hydrogels, copper nanoparticle (CuNP)-decorated graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets (GO/Cu) were combined with methacrylated gelatin (GelMA)-based organic-inorganic hybrids to construct porous bone scaffolds that mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) of bone tissues by photocrosslinking. The material characterizations, in vitro cytocompatibility, macrophage polarization and osteogenesis of the biohybrid hydrogel scaffolds were investigated, and two different animal models (BALB/c mice and SD rats) were established to further confirm the in vivo neovascularization, macrophage recruitment, biocompatibility, biosafety and bone regenerative potential.Results We found that GO/Cu-functionalized GelMA/β-TCP hydrogel scaffolds exhibited evidently promoted osteogenic activities, M2 type macrophage polarization, increased secretion of anti-inflammatory factors and excellent cytocompatibility, with favorable surface characteristics and sustainable release of Cu2+. Additionally, improved neovascularization, macrophage recruitment and tissue integration were found in mice implanted with the bioactive hydrogels. More importantly, the observations of microCT reconstruction and histological analysis in a calvarial bone defect model in rats treated with GO/Cu-incorporated hydrogel scaffolds demonstrated significantly increased bone morphometric values and newly formed bone tissues, indicating accelerated bone healing.Conclusion Taken together, this BTE-based bone repair strategy provides a promising and feasible method for constructing multifunctional GO/Cu nanocomposite-incorporated biohybrid hydrogel scaffolds with facilitated osteogenesis, angiogenesis and immunoregulation in one system, with the optimization of material properties and biosafety, it thereby demonstrates great application potential for correcting craniofacial bone defects in future clinical scenarios.

A 1 T/2H-MoS 2 (THM) lubricant additive was synthesized via a solvothermal method to improve the lubrication of poly-alpha-olefin (PAO) and reduce the negative influence of diesel carbon soot (CS). The THM was then modified with Cu to further enhance the wear resistance. The average interlayer spacing of MoS 2 in THM and the Cu-modified THM (CTHM) was 0.99 nm, significantly larger than the 0.63 nm of 2H-MoS 2 nanoparticles. In PAO, CTHM demonstrated a 45 % improvement in friction reduction and a 77 % increase in wear resistance compared to 2H-MoS 2 . While the friction reduction of CTHM was similar to that of THM, CTHM exhibited 36 % superior wear resistance. In CS-contaminated PAO, CTHM outperformed 2H-MoS 2 with a 37 % reduction in friction and a 29 % enhancement in wear resistance. The Cu modification reduced the oxidation of CTHM and the conversion of 1 T-MoS 2 to 2H-MoS 2 in the tribofilm, contributing to improved wear resistance. The CS contamination negatively influenced the lubrication by accelerating MoS 2 oxidation, catalyzing the transition from 1 T-MoS 2 to 2H-MoS 2 , and inhibiting Cu incorporation into the tribofilm. Nonetheless, the effect of CS on CTHM and THM was less severe than on 2H-MoS 2 . This work provides an alternative method to alleviated the antagonism between MoS 2 and CS.

O3-layered oxides are considered promising for various applications due to their high capacity. However, these O3-type materials are prone to undergo an irreversible O3-P3 phase transition, which adversely impacts their structural stability. Elemental doping has been identified as an effective strategy to mitigate this issue. However, substituting Cu at the redox center reduces the capacity of the pristine material. The unique introduction of the Sb element reduces the lattice oxygen ratio, leading to a significant increase in initial capacity. Thus, the Cu/Sb co-doped material NaNi 0.37 Mn 0.49 Cu 0.13 Sb 0.01 O 2 (NNMCS) with unique O3-dominated phase transition process, was successfully prepared using the high temperature solid-phase method. Cu/Sb doping increases Mn⁴⁺ concentration through the charge compensation mechanism at transition metal sites, mitigating the negative structural effects of the dual simplicial state e g orbitals in the high-spin Mn³⁺ state. Doping with Cu/Sb increases the electron cloud density at the transition metal sites, enhancing the electron shielding effect and ultimately causing the distance between the transition metal sites to expand. The increased distance between the transition metal sites indirectly promotes flexibility during transition metal migration, resulting in electrode materials with a smaller rate of lattice parameter change during cycling and ultimately enhancing phase transition reversibility. As a result, NNMCS demonstrates a high initial specific capacity of 188 mAh/g and 78% capacity retention after 200 cycles at 1 C within a 2.0–4.3 V window. This work provides valuable insights into the coupling mechanism between capacity and structural stability in layered oxides for sodium-ion batteries.

Wound infection represents a prevalent and pressing clinical challenge, resulting in delayed wound healing and severe complications. In this study, a novel wound dressing was fabricated through a combination of electrospinning and acid etching techniques. First, nanofibers were fabricated by blending electrospun polyacrylonitrile/Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PAN/PVP) polymers with copper-based metal organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs). Subsequently, tannic acid was employed to etch the surface sites of Cu-MOFs on the fibers. The obtained nanofibers exhibited a typical porous structure, superior water absorption and gas permeability, with the average water vapor transmission rate was 2170.6 gm -2 day -1 . Additionally, the release behavior of copper ions can be modulated by altering the mass ratio of PVP to PAN, the amount of Cu-MOFs and the use of tannic acid. In vitro antibacterial assays revealed that the antibacterial efficacy of nanofibers increased with the addition of Cu-MOFs, after 48 hours of treatment, the inhibition rates of the nanofibers against E. coli and S. aureus reached over 79.5 % and 90 %, respectively. In vivo experiments demonstrated that these nanofibers alleviated wound inflammation and promoted collagen and angiogenesis, exhibition superior anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects. The biosafety tests indicated that the nanofibers loaded with 1 % and 3 % Cu-MOFs exhibited good biocompatibility, while the nanofibers loaded with 5 % Cu-MOFs showed slight cytotoxicity. This study provides a novel strategy for the design and fabrication of advanced wound dressings in biomedical applications.

Regulating the electronic structure and oxygen-containing intermediates adsorption behavior on Fe-based catalysts is of great significance to cope with the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics, but it still remains a great challenge. In this work, Fe atom clusters (Fe AC ) modified by high-density Cu single atoms (Cu SA ) in a N,S-doped porous carbon substrate (Fe AC /Cu SA @NCS) is reported for enhanced ORR electrocatalysis. Fe AC /Cu SA @NCS exhibits excellent ORR performance with a half-wave potential ( E 1/2 ) of 0.911 V, a high four-electron process selectivity and excellent stability. The ORR performance is also verified in the Fe AC /Cu SA @NCS-based Zn-air battery, which shows a high peak power density of 192.67 mW cm −2 , a higher specific capacity of 808.3 mAh g −1 and impressive charge–discharge cycle stability. Moreover, density functional theory calculations show that Cu single atoms synergistically modulate the electronic structure Fe active atoms in Fe atomic clusters, reducing the energy barrier of the rate-determining step (i.e., * OH desorption) on Fe AC /Cu SA @NCS. This work provides an effective way to regulate the electronic structure of Fe-based catalysts and optimize their electrocatalytic activity based on the introduction of a second metal source.

The precise embedding of metal species within specific sites of zeolite frameworks and their unique microenvironments exert fascinating influences on catalytic performance. Herein, we report the rational design of a highly efficient Co-Cu@CTS-1 catalyst through the strategic incorporation of Co, Cu, and Ce into TS-1 zeolite, where Ce is doped at silicon atomic sites while Co and Cu are encapsulated within the zeolite cages. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the synergistic interplay among Co, Cu, and Ce is pivotal for catalytic activity: Co facilitates molecular oxygen activation to generate reactive oxygen species (O⁻), while Ce(III) enhances oxygen vacancy concentration, significantly boosting styrene conversion. Moreover, the distinctive electronic interaction between Ce and Cu markedly improves the selectivity toward styrene oxide. The optimized Co-Cu@CTS-1 catalyst exhibits exceptional performance in the aerobic epoxidation of styrene, achieving a remarkable conversion of 78.11% with 87.31% epoxide selectivity under mild conditions (80 °C, 2 h). Furthermore, the catalyst demonstrates outstanding stability, retaining 68.21% conversion even after 20 reaction cycles, underscoring its superior resistance to metal sintering and long-term durability. This work provides valuable insights into the rational design of multifunctional zeolite catalysts through precise metal positioning and microenvironment modulation. Graphical

As a potential Fenton catalyst, Fe-based organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) severely limit their application in practical heavy pollution due to their slow cycling rate. In this work, a novel photocatalyst (NH 2 -MIL101(Fe, Cu)/WO 3 ) was synthesized using a two-step hydrothermal method. Research on photocatalytic activity revealed that NH 2 -MIL101(Fe, Cu)/WO 3 , when combined with H 2 O 2 , exhibits higher degradation efficiency compared than pure NH 2 -MIL101(Fe, Cu) or WO 3 alone, achieving up to 90 % degradation of levofloxacin (LEV) under visible light irradiation. In addition, the effects of hydrogen peroxide dosage, pH and other factors on degradation performance were studied, and the results demonstrated good stability even after multiple cycles. This excellent photocatalytic performance is attributed to the formation of heterogeneous structures as well as the doping of copper ions. This not only inhibits the electron-hole recombination, but also improves the redox capacity of the catalyst accelerating the regeneration of Fe 3+ . This work offers a way to enhance the photo-Fenton activity of Fe-MOF-based catalysts.

Fenton-like degradation based on iron catalyst have been developed to remove organic pollutants from wastewater. However, iron-based catalysts still face challenges of poor accessibility and stability of active sites. Here, we report a facile and green method for the preparation of Fe x Cu (1-x) @HZSM-5 catalyst using ethylenediamine as an organic ligand to stabilize metal species via a combination of solid-state grinding and steam-assisted crystallization methods without organic templates. Due to the confinement of zeolite ZSM-5 framework and synergistic effect of Fe and Cu bimetals, the optimized Fe 0.8 Cu 0.2 @HZSM-5 catalyst exhibits excellent activity and reusability in the Fenton-like degradation of methylene blue at the neutral condition. Our strategy for fabricating bimetal@zeolite can bring about new thoughts for the preparation of iron-based catalyst with high efficiency for Fenton-like degradation.

Hydrogen permeation and corrosion behaviour of Cu-coated carbon steel under simulated nuclear waste disposal conditions of the Beishan area have been investigated. The permeation current (with −500 μA·cm −2 charging current) decreased from 3778 to 141 and 47 nA.cm −2 respectively when 5 and 10 µm thick Cu coatings were electrodeposited on the steel. The XRD analysis suggests the formation of CuH during the hydrogen charging treatment, and its subsequent decomposition formed a protective CuOH/Cu 2 O layer on the charging surface when exposed to simulated groundwater for 44 h. No damage to the Cu coating-steel interface was observed in the cross-section analysis.

Although g-C3N4-based heterojunctions show promise for photocatalytic CO2 reduction, enhancing charge separation and creating sufficient catalytic sites remain challenges. In this study, mixed-valence CuPc/graphene/g-C3N4 (HT-CuPc/G/UCN) ultrathin heterojunctions (∼4.8 nm thickness) with Cu1+/Cu2+ species were constructed by H-bond induced assembly and subsequent post-treatment with H2. The optimized H100-CuPc/G/UCN sample showed 36-times higher activity than bare ultrathin g-C3N4 (UCN) for photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO. Based on atomic force microscopy images, normalized photocurrent action spectra, electron paramagnetic resonances, and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra, it was confirmed that the unexpected photocatalytic activity of H100-CuPc/G/UCN was attributed to the dual-functional roles of the introduced graphene: to increase the optimized amount of CuPc and enhance the high-level-energy electrons transferring from UCN to CuPc and the created Cu1+/Cu2+ species by H2 reduction as active catalytic sites for CO2 reduction. This work provides a comprehensively feasible strategy for preparing rational heterojunctions toward high-efficiency solar-driven CO2 reduction.

While high-aspect-ratio metal nanowires are essential for producing nanowire-based electrodes of good performance used in electronics and electrocatalysis, the synthesis of millimeter-long Cu nanowires remains a challenge. This work demonstrates an oleylamine-mediated hydrothermal method for synthesis of Cu nanowires with an average diameter of ~80 nm and a length up to several millimeters. An investigation on the role of oleylamine in nanowire formation by mass spectroscopy, small angle X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy reveals that oleylamine serves as a mild reducing agent for slow reduction of Cu(II) to Cu, a complexing agent to form Cu(II)-oleylamine complex for guiding the nanowire growth, as well as a surfactant to generate lamellar phase structure for the formation of nanowire bundles. The growth mechanism of these millimeter-long Cu nanowire bundles is proposed based on the experimental observations. Electrochemical measurements by linear sweep voltammetry indicate that the self-supported nanowire electrode prepared from as-formed Cu nanowire bundles shows high catalytic activity for electroreduction of nitrate in water.Keywords:Cu nanowires;hydrothermal method;oleylamine;nitrate;electroreduction
