Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) with Zn metal anodes stand out as a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage systems, owing to their high safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, the commercialization of AZIBs is plagued by issues such as Zn dendrite growth and side reactions. Herein, an organic component-Cu metal composite layer is constructed on Zn anode (Org-Cu@Zn) by a novel, one-step and in situ spontaneous displacement reaction. The outer porous organic layer with functional groups may serve as migration sites and transport channels for Zn 2+ ions, promoting transfer kinetics. The inner zincophilic Cu clusters layer diminishes the interfacial resistance, facilitating Zn 2+ ions diffusion and even Zn deposition. Compared to the bare Zn, the unique dual-layer structure exhibits stronger zincophilicity, smaller interface resistance, lower nucleation energy barrier, and stronger anti-corrosion capability, thus effectively suppressing the Zn dendrite growth and side reactions. Remarkably, the Org-Cu@Zn electrode shows an ultra-long lifespan of 3600 h (1800 cycles) with an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.7 %, realizes long cycling stability over 4300 h (1 mA cm −2 ) and 1350 h (5 mA cm −2 ), and assures the stable operation of Org-Cu@Zn||ZVO full cells with coin-type configurations.

Direct catalytic oxidation (DCO) of coalbed methane to methanol has been considered as a significant technology for highly efficient and clean utilization of coal resources. Herein, the Cu-based spherical micromesoporous material (Cu/SMMM) was successfully prepared by using a sepiolite-derived silica source, and the DCO of methane to methanol was achieved under a low-temperature gas-phase system. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the Cu/SMMM accomplished the maximum methanol production of 69.3 μmol/gcat/h and methanol selectivity of 81.2% with full activation at 450 °C in air for 4 h, and the reaction was carried out at 320 °C for 1 h. Various characterizations demonstrated that the unique SMMM promoted the dispersion of copper oxides to form more active copper species and Lewis acidic sites (LAS). The variable-temperature FTIR, XAS, and NO-IR analyses identified that the highly dispersed dimeric copper species such as ([Cu2(μ-O)]2+ or [(Cu2O2)2+]) in Cu/SMMM was the major active species for DCO of methane into methanol. Additionally, combined with in situ FTIR analysis, the catalytic mechanism was revealed, in which the adsorbed methane species could be converted to CH3* species. Subsequently, CH3* species bound to oxygen of the dimeric copper species to form CH3O* species, which was then converted to methanol in the presence of water.

The advancements in engine technology have led to a decrease in exhaust temperatures, hence enhancing the activity of Cu-SSZ-13 at low temperatures becomes crucial and challenging. This enhancement can be achieved using dual-phase metal oxide/Cu-SSZ-13 composite catalysts. In this work, we evaluated the comparative efficacy of Mn 3 O 4 and Mn 2 O 3 and discovered that Mn 3 O 4 exhibited a significantly superior enhancement in deNO x activity of Cu-SSZ-13 at low temperatures, achieving 95% NO x conversion at 200 °C. This is substantially higher than the conversions recorded by Mn 2 O 3 /Cu-SSZ-13 (78%) and Cu-SSZ-13 (40%). Kinetic and IR results demonstrate that Mn 3 O 4 /Cu-SSZ-13 and Mn 2 O 3 /Cu-SSZ-13 composite samples share a same low-temperature pathway, where bridged nitrates formed on the MnO x react with adsorbed on Brønsted acid sites in Cu-SSZ-13. In this reaction pathway, bridged nitrate formation is identified as the rate-determining step. The distinctive structure of Mn 3 O 4 triggers an increase in oxygen vacancies, creating a higher content of chemically adsorbed oxygen, compared to Mn 2 O 3 . Those adsorbed oxygen facilitates bridged nitrate formation. Consequently, due to the larger amount of bridged nitrate formed on Mn 3 O 4 compared to Mn 2 O 3 , the Mn 3 O 4 /Cu-SSZ-13 sample exhibits higher activity.

It has been reported that doping ZnO with metal ions can alter the band gap and immensely enhance electron transport . In this regard, to increase the efficiency of cost-effective dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), we synthesized Cu-doped ZnO nanocomposites from layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursors via a facile method. LDH layers were homogeneously doped with Cu ions , and mixed metal oxides (MMOs) were obtained after annealing. The morphology and optical and electrochemical properties of the as-synthesized Cu-doped ZnO nanocomposites were systematically studied. The introduction of Cu ions increases the specific surface area of ZnO and increases light absorption in the visible region. The Cu-doped ZnO MMOs were used as the photoanode of DSSCs, and the effect of the amount of the Cu dopant on the performance of the solar cells was studied. At the optimal doping weight percentage of Cu (0.25 wt%), the solar cell based on Cu-doped ZnO MMO and D149 dye achieved the highest short-circuit current of 7.12 mA cm −2 and the highest power conversion efficiency of 1.50%.

In this study, magnetic biochar (Fe-BC) was synthesized from phoenix tree leaves and FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O by impregnation-pyrolysis method, and was used to activate H 2 O 2 to degrade Cu-EDTA. The effects of preparation parameters on the degradation of Cu-EDTA by Fe-BC/H 2 O 2 system were investigated by degradation experiments and characterization methods (SEM, BET, FTIR, XRD and XPS). The results showed that the magnetic biochar prepared under the pyrolysis temperature of 400 °C, pyrolysis time of 3 h and iron content of 3 wt% had the best catalytic activity. Within 120 min, the breaking efficiency of Cu-EDTA binding, precipitation efficiency of Cu 2+ and removal efficiency of TOC could reach 78.48, 71.65 and 46.54% at the conditions of adding 1.0 g/L magnetic biochar and 25 mM H 2 O 2 and the iron dissolution was only 0.32 mg/L. The characterization results and comparison experiments demonstrated that the catalytic effect of magnetic biochar not only depends on the transfer of electrons to H 2 O 2 by the loaded iron oxides, but also the active oxygen functional groups (OFGs) and persistent free radicals (PFRs) contained on the surface can transfer electrons to H 2 O 2 or even dissolved oxygen to produce an amount of hydroxyl radicals ( · OH) and superoxide anion radicals ( ). The use of phoenix tree leaves as the precursor of magnetic biochar provides a new method for the disposal of garden waste, which is in accord with the concept of green and sustainable development. In the degradation system, the magnetic biochar catalyst relies on the OFGs and PFRs of biochar and the metal components loaded to activate H 2 O 2 to generate reactive oxygen species to degrade organic pollutants.

Although the low molecular weight poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenyl oxide) (LMW-PPO) has been extensively applied in the field of 5G communication, the complicated procedures involved in the synthesis of LMW-PPO and efficient recovery of the homogeneous catalysts are still challenging nowadays. In this study, five ionic liquids (ILs) have been successfully synthesized, and LWM-PPO is directly synthesized using different Cu(OAc) 2 -ILs complexes as catalysts. Among them, Cu(OAc) 2 - IL(a) not only exhibits the high yield of LWM-PPO (83.68%, M n =3.6✕10 3 ) with the low 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethyl-4,4’-diphenoquinone (DPQ) yield (0.12%) and polydispersity index (PDI, 1.39) in methanol, but also maintains high stability after being recycled for 5 times. In addition, with increasing H 2 O contents in the system from 1.0% to 5.0%, the M n values of PPO decrease from 2.9✕10 3 to 2.4✕10 3 with the narrow PDI values in the range of 1.22-1.45, indicating that trace H 2 O effectively promotes the formation of binuclear Cu(II) complex between Cu(OAc) 2 ·H 2 O and ILs, which then polymerizes 2,6-dimethylphenol (DMP) to LMW-PPO. The synthesized LMW-PPO exhibits high thermostability ( T d5% =427.07-430.52°C), low glass transition temperature ( T g =167.6-180.3°C), and low dielectric constant ( D k =2.14-2.64, 1 GHz) and dielectric loss ( D f =2.83✕10 -3 -4.91✕10 -3 , 1 GHZ), indicating that it is more appropriate to be used in the field of 5G communication. This study provides new insight on the importance of ILs in direct synthesis of LMW-PPO with high performances.

Solvent-evaporated conversion (SEC) and steam-assisted conversion (SAC) have been developed to prepare the typical metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) Cu-BTC (HKUST-1) and ZIF-8 using a unique solvent recovery strategy using zeolite. As a green circulation medium, zeolite Na-4A loading and removal of solvent (H 2 O and EtOH) can transport solvent in the vapor phase and avoid solvent condensation, which was the defect in previous SAC syntheses of MOFs, and achieves efficient solvent recovery as well as being an economical and green synthetic process. Moreover, SEC and SAC processes exhibited different mechanisms during the multi-stage reaction and solid diffusion reaction, respectively and both can synthesize the desired products in 12 h. These two methods for MOFs preparation were characterized in detail using XRD, SEM and N 2 adsorption during the different growing stages. According to polar molecules (H 2 O and EtOH) steam-assisted in those synthesis, polar destruction molecules (H 2 O, NH 3 ) adsorption and stability of Cu-BTC and ZIF-8 was investigated.

Environmental effects of microplastic are rather due to their adsorption capacity of contaminants than themselves. Aging is a key factor influencing adsorption properties of environmental microplastics. In order to clarify this influence, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics with particle sizes of <0.9 mm, 0.9–2 mm, and 2–5 mm were artificially aged in seawater for 12 months. This enabled an assessment of the change in Cu(II) adsorption capacity to the microplastics particles under aging. According to the FTIR spectra, fresh microplastics were oxidized during the UV induced aging process. The adsorption capacities of microplastic were positively correlated with their aging time. After 12-months aging, the amount of Cu(II) adsorbed to the aged microplastics was 1.45–2.92 times higher than on the fresh microplastic particles. For PP and PET, the aging effect increased with decreasing size of the microplastic particles. In the case of PE, particles with the medium particle size (0.9–2 mm) had the strongest aging effect.

To enhance the activity and selectivity of Cu-based catalysts in the CO 2 hydrogenation reaction, this study systematically investigated the regulation effect of Nd-doping on the structure and surface properties of different oxide support (MgO, Al 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , and CeO 2 ), and further explored its influence on the state of Cu species as well as the catalytic performance in CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol. The results show that the introduction of Nd 3 + can effectively induce lattice distortion of the support which promotes the generation of oxygen vacancies and the formation of surface basic sites, thereby enhancing the interfacial electronic interaction between Cu and support and improving the stability of Cu + active centers. Among them, the Cu catalyst supported on Nd-doped ZrO 2 exhibited the best catalytic performance such as the high CO 2 conversion and selectivity to methanol. Various characterization (XRD, SEM, in-situ XPS, H 2 -TPR, CO 2 -TPD, and H 2 -TPD) results confirmed the key role of Nd-doping in regulating the oxygen defects, electronic structure, and Cu species distribution over support. This study reveals the structural regulation mechanism of Nd in constructing efficient Cu-based catalysts for CO 2 hydrogenation from the perspective of support engineering, providing theoretical basis and practical guidance for the design of new high-performance catalytic materials.

It remains a huge challenge to develop non precious electrocatalysts with high activity to substitute commercial Pt catalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). Here, the C-Cu-DI and C-Cu materials with the copper based nanoporous carbon structures were synthesized by carbonizing MOF199 and DI-MOF199. The composite structure and HER electrocatalytic properties of the C-Cu-DI and C-Cu materials are studied. The results show that C-Cu-DI and C-Cu samples exhibit good catalytic activity. And C-Cu-DI sample through the addition of Dimethyl imidazole(DI) in the DI-MOF199 precursor has higher electrocatalytic activity than the C-Cu sample. The superior catalytic activity is attributed to the special composite structure of nanoscale deposition particles on the framework with plenty of nano pores and nano copper and few copper oxidation particles distributed or wrapped into the amorphous porous carbon phase. The nano copper and few copper oxidation particles in the C-Cu and C-Cu-DI catalysts maybe provide the more effective catalytic activity sites. The C-Cu-DI composite with large size spherical hollow deposition particles has higher conductivity, better BET surface area and reasonable micro-meso-macro porous distribution, so the overpotentials at the current density of 1 mA cm −2 and 10 mA cm −2 are respectively 270 mV and 390 mV vs. RHE. Although the HER activity has a big gap with commercial platinum catalyst, this study can provide an important experimental exploration for the design of copper based non noble metal/nano porous carbon composite HER electrocatalyst.

The development of sensitive and selective methods for detecting pesticide residues has become paramount for ensuring food safety. In this work, a high-performance molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor based on the composite of Cu-BTC- and FeCo-ZIF-derived N-doped carbon (FeCo@NC), synthesized by pyrolysis and electrodeposition, was developed for Benomyl (BN) detection. The materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In this sensing system, the Cu-BTC/FeCo@NC composite used as the electrode substrate displayed a large specific surface area, high electronic conductivity, and rich active catalytic sites, demonstrating excellent electrocatalytic ability toward BN oxidation. Meanwhile, Cu-BTC, with its abundant surface functional groups, facilitated strong hydrogen bonding interactions with the imprinted template molecule of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), promoting the formation of a uniform molecularly imprinted membrane on the substrate material surface. The introduced MIP-PEDOT could enhance the selective recognition and enrichment of the target BN, leading to an amplified detection signal. Thanks to the synergistic effects between Cu-BTC/FeCo@NC and MIP-PEDOT, the proposed sensor achieved a low detection limit of 1.67 nM. Furthermore, the fabricated sensor exhibited high selectivity, reproducibility, and interference resistance in detecting BN. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of BN in vegetable and fruit samples, indicating its potential for use in practical applications.

The effective and economical removal of heavy metal-organic complexes remain an urgent challenge in the field of industrial wastewater treatment. In this study, Ca-doped ferrihydrite composites and Ca/Al co-doped ferrihydrite composites were synthesized via a simple one-step co-precipitation method and applied for the oxidative removal of EDTA-Cu in a hypochlorite system. The incorporation of Al significantly enhanced the material's stability. The Fe-Ca-Al composite exhibited a catalytic degradation efficiency of 97 % after 4 reaction cycles, representing a 32 % improvement compared to the Ca-doped ferrihydrite (Fe-Ca). Mechanistic studies revealed that the Fe-Ca-Al composite demonstrated strong selective adsorption of the organic moieties in EDTA-Cu over a broad pH range. Moreover, the oxygen vacancies (Ov) induced by Ca and Al co-doping played a crucial role in the enhanced catalytic performance and efficient removal of EDTA-Cu. These abundant Ov promoted electron transfer and provided numerous surface adsorption sites, facilitating the conversion of O 2 · - to 1 O 2 . Given that 1 O 2 can rapidly degrade organic compounds containing amino and carboxyl groups, it shows excellent potential for the treatment of EDTA-Cu. This study presents a highly active and reusable catalyst based on a Ca-Al doping strategy, offering a promising approach for the removal of organic-heavy metal complexes.
