Efficient methane conversion to methanol remains a significant challenge in chemical industry. This study investigates the direct oxidation of methane to methanol under mild conditions, employing a synergy of non-thermal plasma and Cu-MOR (Copper-Mordenite) catalysts. Catalytic tests demonstrate that the Cu-MOR IE-3 catalyst (i.e., prepared by three cycles of ion exchange) exhibits superior catalytic performance (with 51 % methanol selectivity and 7.9 % methane conversion). Conversely, the Cu-MOR catalysts prepared via wetness impregnation tend to over-oxidize CH 4 to CO and CO 2 . Through systematic catalyst characterizations (XRD, TPR, UV–Vis, HRTEM, XPS), we elucidate that ion exchange mainly leads to the formation of zeolite-confined Cu 2+ species, while wetness impregnation predominantly results in CuO particles. Based on the catalytic performance, catalyst characterizations and in-situ FTIR spectra, we conclude that zeolite-confined Cu 2+ species serve as the active sites for plasma-catalytic direct oxidation of methane to methanol.

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) have attracted extensive research interest due to their unique structural features, customizable elemental compositions, and tunable functional properties. Nevertheless, the complexity, low efficiency, and high cost of the existing HEO synthesis methods place limitations on them. In this study, Laser directed energy deposition (LDED) was employed to synthesize (Mg, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)O oxides. Additionally, the novelty of applying the LDED process to multicationic systems was emphasized. The comparison between specimens fabricated from mixed powder via LDED(MP) and those fabricated from pre-sintered powder via LDED(SP) encompasses macroscopic morphology, microstructure, and performance. The results showed that SP significantly enhanced the density from 86.44 % to 96.70 % compared to MP. The macro-segregation of Cu and Cu 2 O in the phase composition was observed in MP and SP. High-temperature pre-sintering promoted the solid solution formation of Co and Ni during LDED, leading to more severe micro-segregation of Co and Ni. When employed as anodes in lithium-ion batteries, MP and SP have outstanding long-term cycle stability, according to electrochemical performance studies. At a current density of 100 mAg −1 , these specimens maintained a capacity retention rate of 100 % even after 200 cycles. The initial discharge capacities of MP and SP were respectively 477.73 mAh g −1 and 373.86 mAh g −1 . This study is expected to present a novel approach for the rapid synthesis of (Mg, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)O oxide ceramics .

Three-dimensional (3D) network structure nanomaterials (NMs) show excellent catalytic performance due to the larger active surface area. A glucose-directed, surfactant-free and one-step direct chemical co-reduction method for synthesis of Pt-Cu alloy nanowires (NWs) under room temperature was demonstrated in present paper. The Pt-Cu NWs were obtained through the co-reduced of CuCl 2 and H 2 PtCl 6 by sodium borohydride in the presence of glucose, the glucose in which not only acted as one-dimensional (1D) growth-directing agent, also as the stabilizing agent. The average diameter of NWs was about 3.1 nm and NWs showed typical face-centered-cubic (fcc) alloy crystal structure. The influence of Pt/Cu ions ratios in precursor solution on the bimetallic composition of NWs had been studied, and NWs displayed the feature of composition-tuning. The electro-catalytic activity of Pt-Cu alloy NWs for ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR) in alkaline medium was strongly related on their compositions. The Pt 31 Cu 69 NWs exhibited about 1.8 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C and higher durability. The enhanced catalytic performance of Pt-Cu alloy NWs was mainly attributed to their unique 3D network structure and the synergetic effects between Pt and Cu.

For more practical applications, research on magnetic refrigeration has been gradually focused on developing refrigerants with large magnetocaloric effect (MCE) under low magnetic fields (≤2 T). EuTiO 3 exhibits considerable low-field MCE near ordering temperature, meanwhile the magnetic switch from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic (AFM-FM) in it provides the feasibility of improving the magnetocaloric performance. In this study, a series of Eu(Ti,Nb,M)O 3 (M=Cu or Zn) compounds were synthesized, and the crystal structure, magnetic properties together with cryogenic MCEs were investigated in detail. The co-substitution contributes to an FM coupling domination in all the compounds. Besides, significantly enhanced and giant low-field MCEs were detected in these compounds. Under the field change of 1 T, all the samples possess remarkable magnetic entropy change (>15 J·kg -1 ·K -1 ) around 5 K without hysteresis. The corresponding refrigerating capacities are calculated to be 68.0, 72.6, 76.0, and 69.6 J·kg -1 , respectively, exhibiting an increase of 149–178% than EuTiO 3 . The outstanding magnetocaloric performances make the Eu(Ti,Nb,M)O 3 (M=Cu or Zn) compounds competitive candidates for cryogenic magnetic refrigeration.

Hybrid direct carbon fuel cells (HDCFCs) present its inherent and unparalleled advantages in converting chemical energy from organic waste, biomass, and coal directly into clean energy with high efficiency. However, the progress of HDCFC technology continues to be hampered by the sluggish anode reaction kinetics. Herein, an effective design strategy for HDCFC anode is proposed, a Cu-modified Sr 2 Fe 1.3 Cu 0.2 Mo 0.5 O 6-δ (SFCM) perovskite oxide is developed to meet the requirements of intermediate-temperature HDCFC anode. The Cu-doping SFCM anode demonstrates excellent redox structural stability and catalytic activity. In addition, the electrolyte-supported single cell with Cu-doping SFCM anode has improved the peak power density from 285.5 mW cm −2 to 489.3 mW cm −2 at 800 °C with activated carbon as the fuel. The significantly enhanced anode catalytic activity is primarily due to the improved interfacial activity and chemical adsorption of CO. Therefore, the present work shows an effective strategy for designing and developing novel high-performance HDCFCs anode materials .

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been demonstrated as suitable metal sources and sacrificial templates for the preparation of porous transition-metal oxide nanomaterials. Herein, porous CuO micro-polyhedra assembled from numerous nanoparticles are synthesized simply by employing a Cu-based MOF as a precursor via a one-step calcination process under an air atmosphere. Benefitting from their high porosity and large specific surface area, porous CuO materials exhibit excellent electrocatalytic performances toward water oxidation in pH 9.2 KBi solution. A low catalytic onset potential at 1.05 V vs. NHE (NHE = normal hydrogen electrode) is obtained based on electrochemical measurements. A faradaic efficiency of nearly 98% and a stable catalytic current density of 2.2 mA cm−2 are achieved under an applied potential of 1.30 V vs. NHE over an electrolysis period of 10 h. In addition, based on the Tafel plot, the required overpotentials are only ∼410 mV and ∼510 mV for achieving the catalytic current densities of 0.1 mA cm−2 and 1.0 mA cm−2, respectively. The excellent performances make it an appealing candidate as a potential catalyst for green energy applications.

The intrinsic poor electrical conductivity, severe dissolution of K x S y intermediates, and inferior conversion reaction reversibility extremely impede the practical application of the transition-metal chalcogenides (TMDs) anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Herein, a rationally designed Cu 9 S 5 /MoS 2 /C heterostructure hollow nanocage was synthesized with assistance from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) precursor. During the K-storage process, the homogeneously distributed the sulfiphilic nature of Cu 0 reaction product could act as a dual-functional catalyst, not only facilitating the rapid charge transfer but also effectively anchoring (K x S y ) polysulfides, thus boosting K-storage reactions reversibility during the conversion reaction process. When applied as an anode for PIBs, the as-prepared heterostructure exhibits excellent reversible capacity and long cycle lifespan (350.5 mAh g –1 at 0.1 A g –1 and 0.04% per cycle capacity decay at 1 A g –1 after 1000 cycles). Additionally, the potassium storage mechanism is distinctly revealed by in-situ characterizations. The nanoarchitecture designing strategy for the advanced electrode in this work could provide vital guidance for relevant energy storage materials.

Novel Al-rich OFF-CHA twin-crystal zeolite was synthesized by one-pot hydrothermal method, and applied in ammonia-selective catalytic reduction (NH 3 -SCR) after copper ion exchange. Results indicated that Cu content in Cu-OFF-CHA played a significant role in NH 3 -SCR reaction. The insufficiency of copper activity sites and the formation of CuOx were the main reasons affecting low and high temperature SCR activity of catalyst, respectively. Cu 3.1 -OFF-CHA, with the optimal copper content, demonstrated over 90 % NOx conversion and exhibited excellent N 2 selectivity in the range from 160 to 550 ℃. Further research verified that the SCR activity of Cu 3.1 -OFF-CHA maintained above 80 % in the temperature range from 180–450 °C after hydrothermal treatment 16 h. The reason might be that Cu 2+ in Cu-OFF-CHA was migrated from CHA to OFF sites after hydrothermal treatment, and Cu 2+ in OFF sites on Cu-OFF-CHA was more stable, resulting in less conversion of the active site to CuOx clusters. Cu-OFF-CHA has the potential to be applied in SCR after-treatment systems of diesel exhaust due to the excellent SCR activity and hydrothermal stability.

Ammonia (NH 3 ) has emerged as a promising zero‑carbon energy source for energy and transportation. However, its utilization leads to the emission of NH 3 , which contributes to PM 2.5 formation and disrupts the global nitrogen cycle. Selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) represents a mainstream technology for NH 3 treatment, yet achieving both sufficient activity and high N 2 selectivity across a broad temperature window remains challenging. Here, a core-shell Pt@Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst was employed for NH 3 catalytic abatement by encapsulating metallic Pt clusters (Pt 0 ) inside the channels of Cu ion-exchanged ZSM-5. The optimal sample achieved a complete NH 3 conversion below 250 °C and maintained over 92% N 2 selectivity from 250 to 500 °C due to the synergism between the Pt Cu dual sites. Mechanistic studies revealed that NH 3 oxidation preferentially occurred on Pt 0 sites with excellent redox capacity to produce N 2 O and NO x at relatively low and high temperatures, respectively. And the presence of Cu ions (Cu δ+ ) could efficiently both inhibit the formation of N 2 O on Pt 0 sites and reduce NO x emission, thereby improving the N 2 selectivity. At relatively low temperatures, NH 3 -solvated Cu + (NH 3 ) 2 could migrate to the adjacent Pt sites and reduce the adsorbed NO* species from NH 3 oxidation, damping the formation of N 2 O. At high temperatures, the NO and NO 2 emitted from Pt 0 sites could be reduced on Cu δ+ sites via a typical selective catalytic reduction. This study provides new insights into the rational design of bifunctional SCO catalysts and offers a comprehensive understanding of the synergistic effects in Pt Cu dual-site systems.

CO 2 -to-methanol is a promising process for carbon utilization to produce sustainable fuel and chemicals. Catalytic performance of Cu-based Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH)-derived catalysts for CO 2 hydrogenation to produce methanol was investigated in this work. Various secondary metallic components, Al, Ga, Cr, In, Sm and La were employed to prepare a series of Me-Cu/LDH type of catalyst for CO 2 -to-methanol reaction. The catalysts were synthesized using a co-precipitation method, followed by calcination and reduction activation. Impact of the secondary metals on the structure of the prepared catalyst and their reaction performance was studied in fixed-bed reactor. The CO₂ hydrogenation activity and methanol selectivity of the prepared LDO catalyst were evaluated at 3.0 MPa and a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 3.6 L·g⁻¹·h⁻¹, using a CO₂/H₂ ratio of 3. Synthesis conditions, including temperature and aging time, significantly affected the catalyst structural properties and catalytic performance. The results showed that the CuAl catalyst yielded the highest CO 2 conversion up to 20%, while the CuIn catalyst generated the highest methanol selectivity above 74%. It can be reasonably proposed that the highly dispersed copper active sites in the CuAl catalyts contributed to the improved CO 2 conversion, whereas the high concentration of oxygen vacancies in the CuIn catalyst promoted methanol formation. Furthermore, these catalysts showed good stability with no noticeable carbon deposition. These findings highlight the potential of LDH-based catalysts in CO 2 hydrogenation and provide valuable insights for optimizing their structure and composition to enhance catalytic efficiency.

The composite material comprising copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and graphene oxide (GO) is a novel functional material with broad application prospects in the field of electrochemistry. In this paper, a composite material consisting of copper coated with nitrogen-doped carbon supported on reduced graphene oxide (Cu@NC/rGO) was synthesized using CuPc/GO as the precursor through thermal treatment and carbonization processes. The porous Cu@NC/rGO composite not only provides abundant active sites but also constructs rapid ion transport pathways. Within the composite, Cu@NC nanoparticles act as effective electron transfer bridges, forming a continuous conductive network that reduces interfacial contact resistance. The hybrid dual-ion capacitor (HDIC) assembled with the Cu@NC/rGO composite material demonstrated outstanding cycling stability, achieving a discharge specific capacity of 328.6 mAh g -1 at a current density of 2.0 A g -1 after 4000 cycles. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and electronic structure analysis revealed that the Cu@NC/rGO material exhibits the strongest adsorption capability toward EMIm + ions, with an adsorption energy as low as -299.02 kJ·mol -1 , accompanied by the most significant charge transfer. This work provides new design inspiration for the development of anode materials for HDIC.

The performance of energetic hydrogels—a promising class of water-resistant explosives—is often related to the internal microstructure and chemical reactivity. This study introduces a modification strategy employing copper (II) nitrate trihydrate (Cu(NO 3 ) 2 ·3H 2 O) to simultaneously tailor the hydrogel’s microstructure and enhance its chemical reactivity. The additive functions dually: by acidifying the system, it accelerates cross-linking kinetics and refines sensitized microbubbles; concurrently, it lowers the thermal decomposition barrier of the gel matrix. At an optimal content of 0.75 wt%, the proportion of effective microbubbles (diameter ≤ 100 µm) is maximized to 42.2 %, establishing a dense hotspot network. This microstructural and chemical optimization synergistically boosts detonation performance, increasing velocity by 15.34 % to 4610 m·s⁻¹ and reducing the minimum initiation charge from 50 g to 30 g. Thermal analysis confirms a reduced apparent activation energy and reveals a possible low-temperature exothermic pathway, providing direct evidence for the enhanced reactivity. Crucially, this enhancement does not compromise handling safety, as the initial decomposition temperature remains above 244 °C for all formulations. This work establishes additive-mediated modification as an effective route to engineer energetic materials by concurrently optimizing the microstructure and accelerating the reaction kinetics.
