Cu-based halide perovskites have attracted extensive attention in the optoelectronic field owing to their non-toxic nature and excellent stability. Nevertheless, the growth mechanism of Cu-based halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) remains unclear, and the size and uniformity of NCs are difficult to control, which seriously hinders the development of these materials. Herein, a facile hot-injection method was applied to control the size and uniformity of blue-emitting (450 nm) Cs3Cu2I5 NCs. The dimensions of Cu-based perovskites were tuned from zero-dimensional NCs to one-dimensional nanorods. Additionally, the sizes of Cs3Cu2I5 NCs could be tuned from 22.1 ± 1.5 to 8.9 ± 1.1 nm by varying the reaction temperature and the dosage of cesium oleate, which is also extended to tune the size of Cs3Cu2X5 (X = Br and Cl) NCs. Interestingly, the photoluminescence (PL) maximum at 450 nm was almost unchanged with the size tuning, indicating that PL is from the radiation recombination of self-trap exciton emission. Moreover, the phase transition temperature of Cs3Cu2X5 NCs was regulated by varying the size, where a small size is beneficial to the decrease of the phase transition temperature. As a demonstration, the different-sized Cs3Cu2X5 NCs exhibited a size-dependent temperature response, and the response time became shorter as the size decreased. The temperature response of the small-sized Cs3Cu2X5 NCs could be decreased to only 15 s, which is better than that of their counterparts reported previously. This work may deepen the understanding of the size-dependent phase transition process in Cu-based perovskite NCs.

In this study, we have fabricated a dual-signal sensor for H2O2 determination based on 2D Cu-MOFs decorated with Ag NPs. A novel polydopamine (PDA) reduction method was utilized to reduce [Ag(NH3)2]+ to highly dispersed Ag NPs in situ without other reductive agents, and Cu-MOF@PDA-Ag was obtained. For the electrochemical sensor, the Cu-MOF@PDA-Ag modified electrode exhibits outstanding electrocatalytic properties toward H2O2 reduction with a high sensitivity of 103.7 μA mM−1 cm−2, a wide linear range from 1 μM to 35 mM and a low detection limit of 2.3 μM (S/N = 3). Moreover, the proposed sensor shows good feasibility in an orange juice sample. For the colorimetric sensor, colorless 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) can be oxidized by the Cu-MOF@PDA-Ag composite in the presence of H2O2. A Cu-MOF@PDA-Ag catalysis-based colorimetric platform is further established for the quantitative analysis of H2O2 ranging from 0 to 1 mM with a lower detection limit of 0.5 nM. Importantly, such a dual-signal method for the detection of H2O2 could potentially have wide practical applications.

To meet the growing demand for clean and sustainable energy, the development of high-performance proton conductive materials is crucial for practical applications in PEMFCs. However, the current materials suffer from issues such as low conductivity, poor durability, and unclear structure–activity relationship. To address these challenges, we investigate the proton conductivity properties of lysine-decorated Cu-BTC (where BTC is benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) and its corresponding thin-film membrane. We explore the impact of lysine (Lys) content (10 wt%, 20 wt%, 30 wt%, and 40 wt%) on the proton conductivity performance under varying humidity and temperature conditions. Our findings show that Cu-BTC-Lys (40 wt%) exhibits the best conductivity of 1.2 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 80 °C under 100% relative humidity (RH), aided by an activation energy (Ea) of 0.25 eV facilitating proton transfer through hydrogen-bonding networks via the Grotthuss mechanism. We then create a proton conductive membrane by fabricating Cu-BTC-Lys (40 wt%) with the PVP/PVDF polymeric matrix. The resulting Cu-BTC-Lys@PVP/PVDF-20 membrane shows a significantly improved conductivity of 4.8 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 80 °C under 100% RH, along with a decreasing Ea value of 0.15 eV. The membrane retains its rich hydrogen-bonding networks and excellent performance durability for up to 5 days, making it an ideal candidate for real-life applications.

Antibiotic drug residues can adversely affect the human body. Lincomycin is a common veterinary drug that can form residues in foods of animal origin. However, the detection of trace residue levels of lincomycin residues in real samples is challenging. Here, a simple solid phase extraction (SPE) method was developed for the enrichment of lincomycin from cow milk samples before its detection by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The adsorbent used in the SPE was a Cu-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) prepared by the solvothermal synthesis approach. The prepared MOFs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), differential thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTA), and N2 adsorption-desorption experiments. The adsorption capacity (adsorption equilibrium, extraction time, pH), and elution solvent parameters were investigated. Under the optimized conditions of the HPLC-MS/MS method, lincomycin was detected in the linear range of 10–200 g/L with a detection limit of 0.013 ng/mL. Commercial milk samples were spiked with lincomycin, and a recovery rate between 92.3% and 97.2% was achieved. Therefore, the current method can be successfully applied for the enrichment and determination of lincomycin from milk samples.Keywords:Cu-based metal-organic framework;liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry;sampling preparation technique;solid-phase extraction;lincomycin

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an emerging field, and the photothermal agents could convert visible or near-infrared (NIR) radiation into heat to kill tumor cells. However, the low photothermal conversion efficiency of photothermal agents and their limited antitumor activities delay the development of these agents into monotherapies for cancer. Herein, we have fabricated an ultrasmall polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-Fe-Cu-Ni-S (PVP-NP) nano-agent via a simple hot injection method with an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (~96%). Photothermal therapy with this nano-agent effectively inhibits tumor growth without apparent toxic side effects. Mechanistically, our results demonstrated that, after NIR irradiation, PVP-NPs can induce ROS/singlet oxygen generation, decrease mitochondrial membrane potential, and release extracellular Fe2+ and consume glutathione, triggering autophagy and ferroptosis of cancer cells. Moreover, PVP-NPs exhibit excellent contrast enhancement according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis. In summary, PVP-NPs have a high photothermal conversion efficiency and can be applied for MRI-guided synergistic photothermal/photodynamic/chemo-dynamic cancer therapy, solving the bottleneck of existing phototherapeutic agents.

The utilization of Cu-based catalysts in CO2 conversion into valuable chemicals is of significant interest due to their potential in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. However, the controllable design of Cu-based catalysts and the regulation of their mechanism remain challenging. In this study, a series of efficient Cu/L catalysts were prepared for this process, and the intrinsic influencing factors on the reaction routes were systematically revealed. Various techniques revealed that Cu particles in L-supported catalysts exhibited higher dispersion and formed Cu–O(OH)–K interfacial sites. However, with increasing Cu loading, the dispersion of Cu particles and the percentage of Cu–O(OH)–K interfaces decreased. Kinetic investigations revealed that the adsorption configuration and electronic structure of Cu species codetermined the reaction pathways and resulting selectivity. Cu/L catalysts possessing Cu–O(OH)–K interfaces and small particles demonstrated the preferential formation of formate species, promoting methanol formation. However, larger Cu particles generated carboxylate intermediates, resulting in higher CO selectivity..

Synthesis of Ln-porphyrin aerogels with abundant porosity and novel photophysical properties for luminescent sensing and photocatalysis should have significant importance. In this paper, a multifunctional Tb-porphyrin aerogel was synthesized using agarose as a building block for ratiometric fluorescent Cu(II) sensing and photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B. Specially, Tb-porphyrin particles were introduced into agarose aerogel to give the Tb-porphyrin aerogel with porous structure. Tb-porphyrin aerogel shows an excellent sensing performance toward Cu(II) resulting from the self-referencing mechanism and the porous structure. The fluorescent response exhibits a linear range from 1 to 200 μM ( R 2 = 0.990), and the limit of detection is 50 nM (S/N = 3). Such a ratiometric fluorescent sensor shows excellent long-term stability and selectivity. Furthermore, the Tb-porphyrin aerogel was used for photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B, exhibiting a more efficient activity compared with the Tb-porphyrin particle. This research should open up a new avenue to develop Ln-porphyrin aerogel-based material for ratiometric fluorescent sensing and photocatalysis.

The high toxicity and low biodegradability of the phenolic pollutants destroyed the balance of the environment and influenced human health seriously. Here, we developed a three-dimensional coloremetric sensor array for discriminating and determinating phenolic pollutants basing on the distinct Cu/nucleotides MOFs . Firstly, three laccase-mimic Cu/MOFs (Cu/AMP, Cu/CMP, and Cu/GMP) were obtained by regulating the molar ratio of Cu 2+ and nucleotides. Then the Cu/MOFs as the recognition elements of the sensor array catalyzed the pollutants-4-AAP-H 2 O 2 system, obtaining the colored benzoquinone products. Subsequently, the data array obtaining from the combined training matrix (3 Cu/MOFs × 6 pollutants × 5 replicates) was projected into a new dimensional space to obtain the 3D canonical scores, and classified into individual clusters by introducing LDA method. No overlap in their respective LDA plots for the six phenolic pollutants with different concentrations suggested the prominent discriminating performance of the sensor array. Furthermore, the sensor array exhibited high selectivity compared to the “lock-and-key” sensors even other active matrices coexisting in water samples. Importantly, the most influential discrimination factor was used to monitor the levels of the six targets, evidencing the potential application in assessing water pollution and maintaining human health.

Cu/ZnO-based catalysts have been extensively and intensively studied for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol due to their relatively superior catalytic performance. However, the mediocre methanol selectivity over Cu/ZnO-based catalysts has not been disclosed mainly because the predominant by-product CO formation activity fails to arouse any attention, significantly deterring the further catalyst optimization. The ZnOx-Cu nanoparticles (NP)-ZnO interface, derived from strong metal-support interactions (SMSI), has been recognized to be more active for methanol formation compared with the classical direct contact Cu-ZnO interface. In order to disclose the origin of the mediocre methanol selectivity, these two types of Cu-ZnO interfaces have been designed and constructed through carefully manipulating the synthesis and heat pre-treatment conditions of the powder model catalysts. Then, methanol and CO formation behaviors over these two interfaces have been explored thoroughly in actual reaction conditions. Finally, the origin of the mediocre methanol selectivity over Cu/ZnO-based catalysts has been proposed. This work provides unique insights for designing efficient Cu/ZnO-based catalysts with high methanol selectivity and yield and puts forward an effective strategy to investigate the catalytic behaviors over different interfaces in actual reaction conditions.

The preparation of heterogeneous Fenton catalysts with both adsorption and catalytic properties has become an effective strategy for the treatment of refractory organic wastewater. In this work, 4A-Fe@Cu bimetallic Fenton catalysts with a three-dimensional core-shell structure were prepared by a simple, template-free, and surfactant-free methodology and used in the adsorption and degradation of Congo red (CR). The results showed that the open three-dimensional network structure and the positive charge of the surface of the 4A-Fe@Cu catalyst could endow a high adsorption capacity for CR, reaching 432.9 mg/g. The good adsorption property of 4A-Fe@Cu for CR not only did not inactivate the catalytic site on 4A-Fe@Cu but also could promote the contact between CR and the active sites on the catalyst surface and accelerate the degradation process. The 4A-Fe@Cu bimetallic catalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity than monometallic 4A@Cu and/or 4A-Fe catalysts due to low work function value. The effects of different pH, H2O2dosages, and catalyst dosages on the catalytic performance of 4A-Fe@Cu were explored. In the conditions of 7.2 mM H2O2, 2 g/L 4A-Fe@Cu, and 1 g/L CR solution, the degradation ratio of CR by 4A-Fe@Cu could reach 99.2% at pH 8. This strategy provided guidance to the design of high-performance Fenton-like catalysts with both adsorption and catalysis properties for dye wastewater treatment.Keywords:fenton reaction;Fe/Cu bimetallic catalyst;congo red;adsorption;catalysis

In SCR denitrification technology, the conventional coprecipitation method has the disadvantages of high temperature and difficulty in controlling the precipitation rate. Various Ce x CuTiO 2 catalysts were synthesized using ice-melting (Ce x CuTi-Ice) and conventional coprecipitation (Ce x CuTi-Con) methods for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH 3 . Ce 0.4 CuTi-Ice catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity among the Ce x CuTiO 2 catalysts, and 80% NO x conversion was achieved within a temperature range of 250–375 °C, exceeding that of Ce 0.4 CuTi-Con catalyst by 20%; in addition, N 2 selectivity was nearly 100%. To elucidate the release characteristics of the precursor solution during ice-melting synthesis, the changes of Cu and Ce concentrations in the solution were investigated by ICP-OES. The precursor solution was released at a slow rate via the ice-melting method, resulting in a large surface area, small crystallite sizes, and effective uniform nanoparticles with abundant active species and increased surface acidity. The promoted mechanism could be attributed to the enhanced oxidation of NO to NO 2 at low temperatures and the rapid reaction between NO species and coordinated NH 3 at high temperatures. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

The electrodeposition method was firstly applied to obtain uniform cube-shaped copper nanoparticles on conductive glass (ITO), and then a layer of tiny nickel nanoparticles. A bimetallic composite electrode (Cu−Ni/ITO), characterized by TEM, XPS and XRD, was prepared to construct the non-enzyme electrochemical glucose sensor with high catalytic activity. The catalytic performance of Cu−Ni/ITO had been greatly improved, probably due to the synergistic bimetallic catalysis effect. The electrode had a satisfactory linear response in the range of 2.5×10 −7 M to 2.6×10 −3 M, with detection limit as low as 67 nM. Besides, Cu−Ni/ITO had good anti-interference ability and reproducibility, indicating the promising application for glucose detection in practical samples.
