One-dimensional nanofibers can be transformed into hollow structures with larger specific surface area, which contributes to the enhancement of gas adsorption. We firstly fabricated Cu-doped In 2 O 3 (Cu-In 2 O 3 ) hollow nanofibers by electrospinning and calcination for detecting H 2 S. The experimental results show that the Cu doping concentration besides the operating temperature, gas concentration, and relative humidity can greatly affect the H 2 S sensing performance of the In 2 O 3 -based sensors. In particular, the responses of 6%Cu-In 2 O 3 hollow nanofibers are 350.7 and 4201.5 to 50 and 100 ppm H 2 S at 250 °C, which are over 20 and 140 times higher than those of pristine In 2 O 3 hollow nanofibers, respectively. Moreover, the corresponding sensor exhibits excellent selectivity and good reproducibility towards H 2 S, and the response of 6%Cu-In 2 O 3 is still 1.5 to 1 ppm H 2 S. Finally, the gas sensing mechanism of Cu-In2O3 hollow nanofibers is thoroughly discussed, along with the assistance of first-principles calculations. Both the formation of hollow structure and Cu doping contribute to provide more active sites, and meanwhile a little CuO can form p–n heterojunctions with In 2 O 3 and react with H 2 S, resulting in significant improvement of gas sensing performance. The Cu-In 2 O 3 hollow nanofibers can be tailored for practical application to selectively detect H 2 S at lower concentrations.

In this work, a novel bi-modal imaging probe with enhanced CT contrast efficiency and FL brightness was constructed, in which the combination of a binary CT contrast agent BaHoF 5 and Cu-doped QDs served as a vehicle; hyaluronic acid (HA) was employed as a tumor-targeting ligand. With its CT contrast efficiency about 2.1- and 3.9-fold higher than PEG-BaHoF 5 and Iohexol, the CT contrast efficiency and the fluorescent brightness of the bi-modal probe were both enhanced. Likewise, its fluorescent brightness is almost 6-fold brighter after Cu-doped QDs loading. The most important contribution of this work lies on the proposed strategy. The inherent contradiction of the imaging sensitivity of CT and FL imaging is well balanced and a great CT/FL bi-modal imaging performance is simultaneously obtained even at low concentration (400 μg/mL) of the probe, which was superior to the previous CT/FL bi-modal probes. Moreover, since BaHoF 5 as a binary CT contrast agent was introduced instead of conventional Au and Bi 2 S 3 , the CT/FL bi-modal probe would be more suitable for different patients under different operation voltages. In addition, the in vitro tumor cell imaging also demonstrated a good photo-stability, FL brightness, and tumor-targeting capability of the probe, indicating its great potential in practical bi-modal imaging for further tumor diagnosis and therapy.

The eco-friendly thermoelectric material SnTe has recently gained immense attention due to its excellent thermoelectric properties and potential. However, its thermoelectric properties are limited by the inherent high carrier concentration (low Seebeck coefficient) and high thermal conductivity. Herein, we further introduce rare-earth element Y on top of the conventional Cu alloying to more effectively modulate its microstructure and thermal transport properties. The experimental results reveal that Y doping gives rise to band convergence, endowing Sn1–xYxTe-5%Cu2Te with an increased power factor of ∼22.14 μW cm–1 K–2. Meanwhile, the introduced abundant Y/Y2Te3 multiscale composite nanostructures in the matrix greatly enhance phonon scattering, resulting in an ultra-low lattice thermal conductivity of ∼0.43 W m–1 K–1. Consequently, these combined effects resulted in a peak ZT value of 1.27 at 823 K in Sn0.97Y0.03Te-5%Cu2Te. An enhancement of nearly 217% is achieved compared to pristine SnTe, which greatly improves the thermoelectric properties of SnTe-based materials.

Recent advances in high-throughput (HTP) computational power and machine learning have led to great achievements in exploration of new thermoelectric materials. However, experimental discovery and optimization of thermoelectric materials have long relied on the traditional Edisonian trial and error approach. Herein, we demonstrate that ultrahigh thermoelectric performance in a Cu-doped PbSe-PbS system can be realized by HTP experimental screening and precise property modulation. Combining the HTP experimental technique with transport model analysis, an optimal Se/S ratio showing high thermoelectric performance has been efficiently screened out. Subsequently, based on the screened Se/S ratio, the doping content of Cu has been subtly adjusted to reach the optimum carrier concentration. As a result, an outstanding peak zT~1.6 is achieved at 873 K for a 1.8 at% Cu-doped PbSe0.6S0.4 sample, which is the superior value among the n-type Te-free lead chalcogenides. We anticipate that current work will stimulate large-scale unitization of the HTP experimental technique in the thermoelectric field, which can greatly accelerate the research and development of new high-performance thermoelectric materials.

Transition metal doping and nanostructure engineering are effective strategies to overcome the limitations of photocatalysts in peroxomonosulfate (PMS) activation. In this study, Cu-doped MoS 2 with a hierarchical microspheric architecture was synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method and employed for tetracycline (TC) degradation through PMS activation. Under visible light irradiation, the Cu 0.06 -MoS 2 catalyst achieved an 86.2% TC removal efficiency within 40 min, which was 2.3 times higher than that of pristine MoS 2 . The effects of various operation parameters, including initial PMS concentration, reaction temperature, solution pH, and coexisting inorganic anions on the TC degradation efficiency were thoroughly investigated. Characterization results and theoretical calculations demonstrated that the redox cycles of Cu 2+ /Cu + and Mo 6+ /Mo 4+ , as well as the 3D microspheric structure of Cu 0.06 -MoS 2 , support its ultra-high charge transfer capability and abundant exposure of active sites, thereby promoting efficient photocatalytic activation of PMS for TC degradation. Reactive species quenching experiments and EPR analysis revealed that ·O 2 − , •OH, and SO 4 •− are the primary reactive oxygen species involved in TC degradation. This study provides a promising direction for the development of highly efficient micropollutant degradation utilizing transition metals-modified sulfide photocatalysts with a 3D architecture.

Solar-driven reduction of CO 2 and H 2 O into fuels is a promising approach for addressing global warming and energy crisis. Herein, Cu + doped W 18 O 49 nanowires were prepared by a facile solvothermal method and applied in photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 . The composition and structure of pristine and Cu + doped W 18 O 49 samples have been characterized. It was found that the morphology of W 18 O 49 nanowires was changed with increasing amounts of dopant . The photocatalytic CO 2 reduction activity of W 18 O 49 nanowires and the Cu + doped W 18 O 49 samples were evaluated using H 2 O as reducing agent. The strategy of Cu + doping not only could affect the band edge position and the surface wettability , but also influenced separation of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs. It was found that Cu + doping could introduce oxygen vacancy and change the conduction edge to a more negative position for W 18 O 49 nanowires, which might be beneficial for the activation of CO 2 and promote the following CO 2 reduction. Furthermore, the higher separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs with Cu + doping could contribute to the CO 2 photoreduction enhancement. In addition, the Cu + doped W 18 O 49 nanowires (Cu-W 18 O 49 -0.005) presented a relatively poor hydrophilic property , which might be beneficial for the adsorption of CO 2 molecules and contribute to its superior photocatalytic CO 2 reduction capability.

Heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction has been extensively investigated to eliminate refractory organic contaminants in wastewater, but it usually shows low catalytic performance due to difficulty in reduction from Fe(III) to Fe(II). In this study, enhanced catalytic efficiency was obtained by employing Cu-doped BiFeO 3 as heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts, which exhibited higher catalytic performance toward the activation of H 2 O 2 for phenol degradation than un-doped BiFeO 3 . BiFe 0.8 Cu 0.2 O 3 displayed the best performance, which yielded 91% removal of phenol (10 mg L –1 ) in 120 min. The pseudo first-order kinetic rate constant of phenol degradation in BiFe 0.8 Cu 0.2 O 3 catalyzed heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction was 5 times higher than those of traditional heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts, such as Fe 3 O 4 and goethite. The phenol degradation efficiency could still reach 83% after 4 cycles, which implied the good stability of BiFe 0.8 Cu 0.2 O 3 . The high catalytic activity of BiFe 0.8 Cu 0.2 O 3 was attributed to the fact that the doping Cu into BiFeO 3 could promote the generation of Fe(II) in the catalyst and then facilitate the activation of H 2 O 2 to degrade the organic pollutants.

Cu-doping into Zn 1−x Cd x S can greatly enhance the photocatalytic H 2 evolution from water splitting under visible-light irradiation. However, it is still controversial for how the Cu-dopant improves this performance. Here, we report that appropriate Cu-doped Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S nanocrystals reach 21.4 mmol/h/g of H 2 evolution rate without cocatalyst in the visible-light region, which is also 2.8 times as high as that of the undoped counterpart, and the corresponding apparent quantum efficiency is 18.8% at 428 nm. It is firstly confirmed that the Cu 2+ changes into Cu + after being doped by soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (sXAS). We theoretically propose that the transformation of 2Cu 2+ to 2Cu + results in one adjacent S 2 − vacancy (V S ) in host during the doping process, while the Cu + -dopant and V S attract the photoexcited holes and electrons, respectively. Accordingly, the photocatalytic activity is improved due to the enhanced separation of photoexcited carriers accompanied with the enhanced light absorption resulting from the Cu + -dopant and 2Cu + /V S complex as possible active site for photocatalytic H 2 evolution.

CeO 2 –CuO catalyst prepared by citric acid method was investigated for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH 3 . The activity of the CeO 2 catalyst was enhanced about 8–27% in the temperature range of 125–225 °C at a space velocity of 28,000 h −1 by the addition of Cu. It was found that the state of Cu species had great impact on the SCR performance of CeO 2 –CuO catalyst. Cu 2+ can enhance the low temperature activity of SCR reaction, while CuO would promote NH 3 oxidation before SCR reaction at high temperature, which would cause the decrease of its high temperature SCR activity.

Photocatalysis combined with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation exhibits a great potential prospect in wastewater purification. Unfortunately, the recombination of photogenerated carriers along with insufficient active sites is a bottleneck problem of PMS activation. Herein, Cu-doped Bi 2 WO 6 with oxygen vacancy (V o ) was synthesized via a one-pot solvothermal method to achieve efficient tetracycline degradation with the assistance of the PMS. By adjusting the Cu(NO 3 ) 2 ·3H 2 O amount, the 3Cu-BWO-V o exhibited an optimal photocatalytic tetracycline (TC) degradation rate of 94%, which was 2.7 times higher than pure Bi 2 WO 6 . Photoluminescence (PL), time-resolved photoluminescence (TR-PL), and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) confirmed that the enhanced catalytic activity was owing to the additional active sites and inhibition of carrier recombination by Cu doping and oxygen vacancy. Cycling experiments further demonstrated the stability and applicability of 3Cu-BWO-V o . This work opens up a new insight into photocatalytic defect engineering and advanced oxidation technology based on PMS for environmental remediation.

Photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide into fuels provides an effective approach to realize carbon resource utilization. However, the photocatalytic efficiency is still relatively low due to the recombination of photogenerated charges. Herein, we have designed Cu-doped SnO2 nanoparticles (Cu–SnO2) using a glucose-involved hydrothermal crystallization method for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2. The rich oxygen vacancies facilitated the separation and transfer of photogenerated charges, and the confined effect of the typical mesoporous structure promoted the adsorption of CO2, especially a high density of grain boundaries (GBs) and the doping of atomic Cu would introduce new active sites to activate CO2 molecules. This elaborately designed catalyst exhibited super and stable photocatalytic conversion activity of CO2-into-CO, with a CO optimal yield of 107 µmol g−1 in 4 h, which was 2.75 times that over pure SnO2. In situ Raman results indicated that the CO2 reduction reaction followed a *COOH pathway on Cu–SnO2. This work provides implications for the construction of a catalyst with rich defects in the field of energy and environmental catalysis.

The frequently used chloroplatinic acid or other Pt precursors containing Cl element during the preparation process of Pt-based catalysts lead to catalyst poisoning and instability. In this work, a chlorine-free PtCu(N)/C R-F catalyst with a hollow sphere structure was successfully synthesized by employing [Pt(NH 3 ) 4 ](OH) 2 and [Cu(NH 3 ) 4 ](OH) 2 as the chlorine-free metal precursors, which using the strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA) between positively charged metal precursor ions and the negatively charged oxygen-containing functional groups (OCFGs) on the carbon support (C R-F ) and combined with the impregnation reduction method. Compared to commercial Pt/C, the experimental results show that the PtCu(N)/C R-F catalyst, displays better ORR performance under acidic condition, the onset and half-wave potentials are 0.961 V (vs. RHE) and 0.827 V (vs. RHE), respectively. Furthermore, it also shows a significant performance advantage in a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) half-cell. Density-functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the introduction of Cu has adjusted the electronic structure of Pt, weakened the adsorption of oxygen-containing intermediates, and ultimately enhanced the catalytic activity and stability of ORR. This work presents a simple and efficient method for preparing chlorine-free Pt-based catalysts.
