Cu Ce 0.8 La 0.1 Sm 0.1 O 2-δ and Cu Ce 0.8 Nd 0.1 Sm 0.1 O 2-δ are studied as anode materials for solid oxide fuel cells with methanol as fuel. The oxygen surface exchange and bulk diffusion coefficients of Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 2-δ both increase with La and Nd doping. The CH 3 OH temperature-programmed surface reaction results show that the addition of La and Nd accelerates the chemical oxidation of CH 3 OH. Furthermore, compared with Cu Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 2-δ , the anodes with La and Nd show higher resistance to coking in CH 3 OH atmosphere. The Cu-based cermet anode exhibits a low catalytic activity for the electrochemical oxidation of H 2 , and a single cell supported by a Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 2-δ ‑carbonate composite electrolyte with Cu Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 2-δ anode exhibits a maximum power density of 160 mW cm −2 at 650 °C using dry hydrogen as fuel. However, the maximum power density reaches 550 mW cm −2 when CH 3 OH is used as fuel, and further increases to 730 and 830 mW cm −2 with the addition of La and Nd in the anode, respectively. The results indicate that with the promotion of the oxygen activity, the Cu-based cermet is a promising anode material for solid oxide fuel cells using CH 3 OH as fuel.

A bimetallic Cu(II) complex as a novel antitumor chemodynamic therapy agent with glutathione (GSH) depletion properties is successfully synthesized and well characterized. In tumor cells, the Cu2+ ions of the complex are reduced to Cu+ ions by GSH and then catalyzed by the overexpressed H2O2 to generate highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) that kill cancer cells. The complex is quickly taken up by cancer cells and distributed in multiple organelles including mitochondria and the nucleus. The complex demonstrates good cytotoxicity toward various cancer cell lines. However, its toxicity toward normal cells is significantly lower than that toward cancer cells due to the limited expression of H2O2. In addition, the complex could arrest the cell cycle of the G0/G1 phase, thereby inducing apoptosis rather than necrosis.

The emergence of various nanozymes has revolutionized approaches to detecting total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in food and biological samples; however, the precise quantification of specific antioxidant species such as ascorbic acid (AA) and glutathione (GSH) continue to present significant challenges. Inspired by the functional characteristics of oxidoreductases, we have developed Cu-CeO₂ nanoparticles adorned PCN-224, which exhibit multiple mimetic behaviors, including oxidase (OXD), ascorbate oxidase (AAO), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like activities. This innovative PCN-224@Cu-CeO 2 is designed for the quantitative evaluation of TAC in food, pharmaceuticals, and biological samples. Simultaneously, it enables the accurate determination of AA and GSH levels with favorable selectivity. The integration of nanozymes onto metal-organic frameworks significantly enhances both stability and catalytic efficiency. Furthermore, utilizing the multi-mimetics activity of the same materials simplifies the biosensing processes for TAC and individual antioxidants in tablets, beverages, fruits, and cells, thereby considerably diminishing experimental intricacy. Our findings not only advance the development and applications of novel nanozymes with exceptional multi-mimetic properties but also tackle selectivity challenges associated with colorimetric detection platforms that rely on oxidase and peroxidase activities.

Coated artificial joint implants and the surrounding tissue fluid are a solid-liquid system, and the tribological behavior of this system is an important factor to evaluate the service performance of the implants, which has received continuous attention. Here, we investigated the tribological behavior of ZrN-Cu films in bovine serum albumin(BSA) solution. The results show that Cu can effectively improve the tribological performance of the ZrN-Cu/BSA system. Through the investigation of the tribochemical products, adsorption behavior, hertzian contact stress, flash temperature, etc., we elucidated the improving mechanism of the ZrN-Cu/BSA system, forming a carbon-based transfer film deriving from BSA with the catalytically active ZrN-Cu film and a stable surface adsorption layer due to Cu separating the contact surface.

Unique active sites make single-atom (SA) catalysts promising to overcome obstacles in homogeneous catalysis but challenging due to their fixed coordination environment. Click chemistry is restricted by the low activity of more available Cu(II) catalysts without reducing agents. Herein, we develop efficient, O-coordinated SA Cu(II) directly catalyzed click chemistry. As revealed by theoretical calculations of the superior coordination structure to promote the click reaction, an organic molecule-assisted strategy is applied to prepare the corresponding SA Cu catalysts with respective O and N coordination. Although they both belong to Cu(II) centers, the O-coordinated one exhibits a 5-fold higher activity than the other and even much better activity than traditional homogeneous and heterogeneous Cu(II) catalysts. Control experiments further proved that the O-coordinated SA Cu(II) catalyst tends to be reduced by alkyne into Cu acetylide rather than the N-coordinated catalyst and thus facilitates click chemistry.

It is important to develop a catalyst that has high catalytic activity and can improve the degradation efficiency of refractory organic pollutants in the catalytic ozonation process. In this study, Fe-Mn-Cu-Ce/Al 2 O 3 was synthesised via impregnation calcination for catalytic ozonation of bio-treated coking wastewater. The physical and chemical characteristics of the catalysts were analysed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller nitrogen adsorption–desorption methods. The effects of catalyst dosage, pH, and reflux ratio on the degradation efficiency of wastewater were examined in laboratory-scale experiments. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate of bio-treated coking wastewater was estimated to be 52.76 % under optimal conditions. The experiments on the catalytic mechanism demonstrated that the surface hydroxyl formed by the Lewis acid sites on the surface of the catalyst can react with ozone as the active site forming the active oxygen (·OH, ·O 2 – , and 1 O 2 ), thereby efficiently degrading the organic pollutants in coking wastewater. Furthermore, a pilot-scale experiment on the catalytic ozonation of bio-treated coking wastewater was carried out using an Fe-Mn-Cu-Ce/Al 2 O 3 catalyst, while the effects of the initial pollutant concentration, ozone concentration, and gas flow on the COD removal rate were studied on a pilot scale. It was found that the COD removal rate of the wastewater was ∼ 60 % under optimal parameters. After the treatment, the wastewater steadily reached the coking wastewater discharge standard (COD < 80 mg/L), while the operating cost of catalytic ozonation reached ∼ 0.032$/m 3 , thereby paving the way toward economic engineering applications. The COD degradation kinetics in the bio-treated coking wastewater followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. Three-dimensional fluorescence and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry revealed that macromolecular organic pollutants in the bio-treated coking wastewater were greatly degraded. In summary, Fe-Mn-Cu-Ce/Al 2 O 3 exhibited good reusability, high catalytic activity, and low cost and has a wide application prospect in the treatment of coking wastewater.

The convenience of colorimetric sensors is useful for practical applications. In this work, we constructed a novel colorimetric sensor with magnetic separation ability that can be operated in nearly neutral conditions and achieve one-step detection of metabolites. Magnetic Cu doped Fe 3 O 4 @FeOOH magnetic nanocomposite (Cu/Fe 3 O 4 @FeOOH) with an oxygen vacancy was prepared by a one-step self-assembly hydrothermal method, and fully characterized by different methods. The oxygen vacancy generated by the incorporation of Cu 2+ cations into the Fe 3 O 4 @FeOOH structure was confirmed to be a vital reactive site for enhancing the catalytic activity, which opens up a new way of designing highly efficient enzyme mimics. Benefiting from its inherent horseradish-peroxidase-like activity, a simple and selective enzyme-based colorimetric sensor was developed for one-step detection of H 2 O 2 and cholesterol, and 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine was catalyzed by H 2 O 2 to generate a colored product of oxidized 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine for signaling. H 2 O 2 and cholesterol can be linearly detected in the same range from 0.01 to 0.4 mmol L -1 with detection limits of 0.0075 mmol L -1 and 0.0082 mmol L -1 , respectively. The proposed colorimetric sensor has satisfactory reusability, accuracy, and practicability in human serum samples, indicating its potential application for the detection of different metabolites in the fields of life science and analytical science.

Highly dispersed surface Cu species and oxygen vacancies are important for CuOx–CeO2 catalysts in many reactions, but it is difficult to increase the concentrations of highly dispersed Cu species and oxygen vacancies simultaneously by only adding a Cu component. Herein, CuOx–ZrO2–CeO2 (CZC) nanocatalysts with different ratios of Cu/Zr have been effectively produced by a simple solvent-free synthetic strategy. The effect of Zr doping on the structure and reactivity of the CuOx–CeO2 catalysts has been investigated with the help of carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction as model reactions. It is revealed that the introduction of Zr relieved the agglomeration of surface Cu species, produced more oxygen vacancies in the interior and Cu+ species on the surface of the catalyst, and increased the reducibility of CuOx–CeO2. The CZC catalysts show remarkably enhanced catalytic activity due to the abundant surface active sites and the improved redox properties provided by the suitable doping of Zr into CuOx–CeO2. This work not only offers a practicable way to reconstruct the distribution of active metals on the metal oxide support but also provides a high-efficiency strategy to prepare oxide catalysts with excellent catalytic performance.

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-metal batteries, considered as the possible post-lithium-ion battery technology for large-scale energy storage, face severe challenges such as dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution side reaction (HER) on Zn negative electrode. Herein, a three-dimensional Cu-In alloy interface is developed through a facile potential co-replacement route to realize uniform Zn nucleation and HER anticatalytic effect simultaneously. Both theoretical calculations and experimental results demonstrate that this bifunctional Cu-In alloy interface inherits the merits of low Zn-nucleation overpotential and high HER overpotential from individual copper and indium constituents, respectively. Moreover, the dynamical self-reconstruction during cycling leads to an HER-anticatalytic and zincophilic gradient hierarchical structure, enabling highly reversible Zn chemistry with dendrite-free Zn (002) deposition and inhibited HER. Moreover, the improved interface stability featured by negligible pH fluctuations in the diffusion layer and suppressed by-product formation is evidenced by in-situ scanning probe technology, Raman spectroscopy, and electrochemical gas chromatography. Consequently, the lifespan of the CuIn@Zn symmetric cell is extended to more than one year with a voltage hysteresis of 6 mV. Importantly, the CuIn@Zn negative electrode is also successfully coupled with high-loading iodine positive electrode to fabricate Ah-level (1.1 Ah) laminated pouch cell, which exhibits a capacity retention of 67.9% after 1700 cycles.

The combination of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) with photothermal therapy (PTT) is an efficacious strategy in cancer treatment to acquire satisfactory therapy efficiency in the endogenous redox reaction and external laser induction. In this work, we have designed Ce doped Cu–Al layered double hydroxide (CAC-LDH) ultrathin them through a bottom-up synthesis method, and further loaded them with indocyanine green (ICG). The synthesized ICG/CAC-LDH was used as a Fenton-catalyst and photothermal agent. With the Fenton activity, the ICG/CAC-LDH nanosheets could decompose H2O2 and exhibit a low KM value (1.57 mM) and an ultra-high Vmax (4.88 × 10−6 M s−1) value. Due to the presence of oxidized metal ions, ICG/CAC-LDH could induce intracellular GSH depletion and reduce Cu2+ and Ce4+ to Cu+ and Ce3+, respectively. The generated Cu+ and Ce3+ further reacted with local H2O2 to generate toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) via the Fenton reaction. Owing to the obviously enhanced absorption of ICG/CAC-LDH at 808 nm, the photothermal efficiency of ICG/CAC-LDH increased significantly compared with ICG (ΔT = 34.7 °C vs. 28.3 °C). In vitro studies substantiate the remarkable CDT/PTT efficacy, with complete apoptosis of HepG2 cancer cells (the cell viability is less than 2%) treated with 25 μg mL−1 of ICG/CAC-LDH. Furthermore, ICG/CAC-LDH could also act as a contrast agent for cancer magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI). These results demonstrate the potential of ICG/CAC-LDH as an integrated agent for dual-modal imaging and synergistic CDT/PTT.

In this study, the authors designed a paper-based electrochemical immunodevice modified with copper embedded in copper sulphide hollow nanocages wrapped with Au nanoparticles (Cu@CuS@Au NPs) for the specific detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), aiming to advance point-of-care testing. The large specific surface area of Cu@CuS nanocages enables efficient capture of biotin antibodies, leading to the direct amplification of the signal through the inhibition of electron transport in the redox process of Cu, eliminating the need for universal redox electron mediators. Additionally, Au NPs on the surface of Cu@CuS can accelerate charge transfer and conjugate with anti-PSA. The hierarchical morphology and structure of Cu@CuS nanocages were characterised using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The fabrication process of the immunodevice was monitored using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses. PSA was sensitively detected using differential pulse voltammetry on this proposed immunodevice within a linear range from 0 to 100 ng/ml ( R 2 = 0.996), achieving a low detection limit of 0.077 ng/ml. In addition, the practicality of the developed immunosensor has been proven by successfully detecting PSA in human serum samples obtained from clinical settings. The integration of electrochemical sensors and microfluidic devices holds promise for developing cost-effective approaches in clinical immunoassays.

Unpredictable pandemics are likely to pose a significant global threat in the future, and biologically protective textiles will play critical roles in controlling the spread of pathogens during outbreaks. Herein, we present a novel metal–organic framework (MOF) composed of repeating units of a Cu(II)/(L-Cys) 2 complex formed through coordination bonds between Cu(II) and L-Cys, while being interconnected by ionic bonds involving Cu(II) and the carboxylate group of L-Cys. After covalently embedding the MOF nanofibers onto cotton fiber surfaces, the resulting fabrics exhibit remarkable virucidal and antibacterial capabilities. Remarkably, even after 200 friction or 50 laundering cycles, the high antiviral ability to inactivate all phi- × 174 within 10 min was maintained, and the bacterial reduction rate against E. coli and S. aureus remained nearly at 100%. The remarkable virucidal effect of the L-Cys@Cu MOF structure is elucidated through a series of α-amylase denaturation simulation tests, providing the first experimental demonstration of the antiviral mechanism, whereby MOF nanofibers induce protein denaturation to inactivate viruses. Moreover, cytotoxicity assessments confirm that the fabrics adorned with MOF nanofibers are safe for human skin. These advantages are promising for the development of protective textiles, highlighting the great potential of nanoscience in combating pandemics. Graphical Abstract
