Color tunable quantum dots (QDs) based on the Cu, Mn, Ag co-doped ZnInS core and ZnS outer-shell were synthesized by using an eco-friendly method. Core-shell doped QDs with the average size of 3.85 nm were obtained by using a one-pot synthesis followed by a hot injection with n -dodecanethiol (DDT) and oleylamine (OLA) as stabilizers in oil phase. Cu, Mn and Ag ions were introduced as single-dopant or co-dopants during the synthesis, providing an effective means to control the emission color of the QDs. The as-synthesized QDs showed photoluminescence emission ranging from green (530 nm) to near-red (613 nm), adjusted by doping components, dopant concentration, and Zn/In ratio. Importantly, quasi-white emission has been achieved by controlling the concentration of co-doped metal ions (Mn, Cu and Ag). The primary results demonstrated the promising potential of co-doped QDs as alternative materials for future high quality white LED applications.

It is of prime importance to harness the transfer and flow of photogenerated electrons and holes to elongate the lifetimes of charge carriers and enhance the activity of semiconductor photocatalyst , which can be achieved by hybridizing the photocatalyst with appropriate cocatalysts with right electronic properties and placement. Herein, MXenes, a young family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides , are exploited as a hole mediator to enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 . We grow TiO 2 sheets exposing (001) surfaces on layered Ti 3 C 2 T x , and then photodeposited Cu 2 O nanodots on TiO 2 . We experimentally prove that the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene from the wet HF etching method behaves as a low work function material ( ϕ = 3.4 eV). Thanks to this unique electronic property, the photogenerated electrons on TiO 2 hybridized with Ti 3 C 2 T x accumulate and tunnel to Cu 2 O to reduce it to elemental Cu as a reduction cocatalyst. The resulting Cu/TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 T x photocatalyst efficiently split water to produce hydrogen at 860 μmol g −1 h −1 . The results presented here demonstrate the promise of MXene materials in photocatalytic solar energy utilization. The insight into the electronic property of MXene sheds light on the new approach to the rational design of high-efficiency photocatalysts composed of MXenes.

Graphene oxide nanosheets (GO) were dispersed and crosslinked with a water soluble polymer, namely poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) with high amine density, to prepared a novel PAH-GO composite, which was used for removing Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The physico-chemical properties of PAH-GO composites were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, etc. Adsorption experiments indicated that adsorption process was strongly dependent on pH and temperature, however weakly dependent on ionic strength. The maximum adsorption capacity was about 349.03 mg/g higher than that of currently reported. Competitive adsorption studies for the ternary system suggested that the adsorption of PAH-GO composite for Cu(II) ions was much preferable to Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions. Thermodynamic parameters suggested that adsorptions were endothermic and spontaneous processes. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm was applicable fit adsorption process, and adsorption kinetic process could be described by the pseudo-second-order model. Adsorption–desorption results showed that the reusability of PAH-GO composite was encouraging. Based on the results obtained, we conclude that PAH-GO composite can be an effective and potential adsorbent for removing Cu(II) ions from an aqueous solution.

Cu-BTC/PVDF composite membranes were prepared by immersing PVDF hollow fiber supporting membranes into copper acetate aqueous solution and trimesic acid ethanol solution repeatedly. Surface and cross sectional morphologies of Cu-BTC crystals on the supporting PVDF membrane were investigated using SEM. Chemical composition and crystal structure of Cu-BTC were characterized by IR and XRD. Gas permeance and separation factor for CO 2 and N 2 of the Cu- BTC/PVDF composite membrane were recorded under different pressures. The results illustrated that with increasing reaction times, the crystal layer became more in density and less in defects, resulting in decrease of gas permeance and the separation mechanism changing from convective flow to Knusen diffusion.

We describe a facile method for the preparation of magnetic microparticles consisting of a metal-organic framework (MOF) of Cu(II)-BTC (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) for rapid magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of the dye Congo Red (CR) from aqueous solution. Magnetization of the MOF and solid-phase extraction of CR was simultaneously accomplished by mixing, under ultrasonication, the MOF and silica-coated magnetite microparticles in the solution to be extracted. Under optimized conditions, the magnetic MOF hybrid exhibits a fast adsorption rate and a high removal efficiency (>97 %) toward CR even over 15-fold reuse, which also features high adsorption capacity of 97.7 and 92.5 % for cationinc Methylene Blue (MB) and Crystal Violet (CV), respectively. The desorption of CR from the magnetic MOF was realized by washing it with ethanol and water. The material is considered to be a promising new adsorbent for use in wastewater treatment and in analytical preconcentration.
We report on a method for magnetization of a Cu-BTC metal-organic framework for use in rapid magnetic solid phase extraction of Congo Red from aqueous solutions. The material maintains its high removal efficiency (of >97 %) over 15 recyclable experiments.

Graphical Carbon-encapsulated Cu–Ag dimetallic nanoparticles (C–CuAg NPs) were prepared using a facile one-pot route. The formation of C–CuAg NPs involved two steps: (1) the formation of the Cu–Ag alloy and (2) the in situ formation of the carbon layer at a low temperature (120 °C). The as-prepared C–CuAg NPs exhibited high catalytic activity and perfect reusability towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. A facile one-pot route has been developed for the synthesis of carbon-encapsulated Cu–Ag dimetallic nanoparticles (C–CuAg NPs). The synthesis was conducted using AgNO 3 and Cu(NO 3 ) 2 as metal precursors and ascorbic acid as the reduction agent and carbon source. The catalytic activities of the C–CuAg NPs for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) with NaBH 4 were tracked by UV/Vis spectroscopy, which demonstrates that the as-prepared C–CuAg NPs exhibit significantly enhanced catalytic activity compared with carbon-encapsulated Cu nanoparticles (C–CuNPs) and carbon-encapsulated Ag nanoparticles (C–Ag NPs). Notably, the catalysts are stable, and there is a high conversion efficiency for at least ten successive cycles. Considering the green facile preparation procedure and high catalytic activity, the prepared C–CuAg NPs hold great promise as highly efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly catalysts for industrial applications.

In this article, uniform and anti-oxidative Cu-Ag core-shell nanoparticles with average particle diameter of 50 nm and Ag/Cu atomic ratio of 1/10 were synthesized by an environmental-friendly method. The morphology and core-shell structure of the obtained nanoparticles were observed through scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy , energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction. Conductive inks were prepared by mixing the synthesized nanoparticles with the mixture of ethylene glycol and ethanol. The structure evolution and electrical resistivity of the Cu-Ag core-shell nanoparticle deposits were investigated upon heating up to 350 °C in comparison with pure Cu nanoparticles with similar sizes. A sintering mechanism was proposed to understand the sintering behavior of the Cu-Ag core-shell nanoparticles. It showed that dewetting of Ag shell through surface diffusion could effectively improve sintering performance at lower temperature besides its protection of Cu core from oxidation up to 156.3 °C.

Improving the conductivity and specific surface area of electrospun carbon nanofibers (CNFs) is beneficial to a rapid realization of their applications in energy storage field. Here, a series of one-dimensional C/MO x (M = Mn, Cu, Co) nanostructures are first prepared by a simple two-step process consisting of electrospinning and thermal treatment. The presence of low-valence MO x enhances the porosity and conductivity of nanocomposites to some extent through expanding graphitic domains or mixing metallic Cu into the CNF substrates. Next, the C/MO x frameworks are coated with MnO 2 nanosheets/nanowhiskers (C/MO x @MnO 2 ), during which process the low-valence MO x can partly reduce KMnO 4 so as to mitigate the consumption of CNFs. When used as active materials for supercapacitor electrodes, the obtained C/MO x @MnO 2 exhibit excellent electrochemical performances in comparison with the common CNFs@MnO 2 (CM) core-shell electrode due to the combination of desired functions of the individual components and the introduction of extra synergistic effect. It is believed that these results will provide an alternative way to further increase the capacitive properties of CNFs- or metal oxide-based nanomaterials and potentially stimulate the investigation on other kinds of C/MO x composite nanostructures for various applications.

Cu-ZrO 2 catalysts supported on nitrogen-doped CNTs were tested for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol in a fixed-bed plug flow reactor. The characterization results indicate that the presence of pyridinic nitrogen increases the copper oxide dispersion, promotes their reduction, decreases the Cu particle size and enhances H 2 adsorption capability; the activated CO 2 adsorption predominantly controls CO 2 conversion. In addition, pyridinic nitrogen contributes to the strong adsorption of CO 2 , stimulating methanol formation, while pyrrolic nitrogen contributes to the medium adsorption of CO 2 , mainly boosting CO formation. Thus, pyridinic nitrogen dominant CNTs supported catalyst (CZ/CNT-N) possesses more active sites compared with the other three catalysts, leading to maximum methanol yield (8.64%) and space time yield (102.21 mg g −1 cat h −1 ); pyrrolic nitrogen dominant CNTs supported catalyst (CZ/CNT-NH 2 ) obtains more highly active structure, giving the highest intrinsic activity (TOF values).

To develop next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with novel designs, reconsidering traditional materials with enhanced cycle stability and excellent rate performance is crucial. We herein report the successful preparation of three-dimensional (3D) composites in which spilt Sn–Cu alloys are uniformly dispersed in an amorphous carbon nanofiber matrix (Sn–Cu–CNFs) via one-step carbonization-alloying reactions. The spilt Sn–Cu alloys consist of active Cu 6 Sn 5 and inactive Cu 3 Sn, and are controllable by optimization of the carbonization-alloying reaction temperature. The 3D carbon nanofiber framework allowed the Sn–Cu–CNFs to be used directly as anodes in lithium-ion batteries without the requirement for polymer binders or electrical conductors. These composite electrodes exhibited a stable cyclability with a discharge capacity of 400 mA h g −1 at a high current density of 1.0 A g −1 after 1200 cycles, as well as an excellent rate capability, which could be attributed to the improved electrochemical properties of the Sn–Cu–CNFs provided by the buffering effect of Cu 3 Sn and the 3D carbon nanofiber framework. This one-step synthesis is expected to be widely applicable in the targeted structural design of traditional tin-based anode materials.

In this study, nanofluid based ethylene glycol (EG) containing Cu nanoparticles decorated on a Gr–MWCNT hybrid material (Gr–MWCNT/Cu) was synthesized successfully for the first time via a chemical reduction method. The SEM, HRTEM, FTIR and XRD studies revealed that Cu nanoparticles with an average diameter of 18 nm were well decorated on the surface of both MWCNTs and graphene sheets. The nanofluids containing Gr–MWCNT/Cu material showed good stability and a maximum thermal conductivity enhancement of 41% at 60 °C for the nanofluid containing 0.035 vol% material compared to EG alone. The enhancement is due to the combination of the high thermal conductivity of graphene, CNT and Cu nanoparticles as well as the higher surface area of the Gr–MWCNT/Cu hybrid structure. Experimental results of thermal conductivity were evaluated using different theoretical models, amongst which the Hamilton–Crosser model was found suitable for predicting the thermal conductivity of the nanofluid.

In this work, a series of Cu–Co–Al catalysts with different Ce loadings were applied to the hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-propanediol in a fixed-bed flow reactor. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized catalysts were analyzed using BET, N2O chemisorption, SEM, TEM, XRD, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD and XPS techniques. Systematic characterization demonstrated that the incorporation of Ce into the Cu–Co–Al catalyst could effectively restrain the aggregation of active metal species as well as the growth of metallic particles during calcination and reduction, which resulted in the formation of highly dispersed active metals. Large amounts and superior strength of acid sites were present in the Ce-promoted Cu–Co–Al catalysts, as confirmed by NH3-TPD analysis. The reducible nature of the Cu–Co–Al catalyst greatly increased after the addition of Ce. The higher concentration of acid sites, excellent reducibility and highly dispersed active metals were responsible for the superior catalytic activity of the 8Ce/Cu–Co–Al catalyst and it attained 91.6% glycerol conversion and 92.4% 1,2-propanediol selectivity. In addition, the effects of different process parameters such as the solvent, reaction temperature, operating pressure, catalyst loading, glycerol concentration and liquid flow rate on glycerol hydrogenolysis together with the catalyst stability were studied in detail, showing that the Ce-promoted Cu–Co–Al catalyst had high efficiency and stability for glycerol hydrogenolysis.
