Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has been widely used in research on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) due to its excellent luminescence intensity. In this work, copper superparticles (Cu SPs) were used to construct ECL biosensor to detect the microRNA-103a (miRNA-103a) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tumor tissues. Firstly, GSH-capped copper clusters were used as precursors to prepare Cu SPs by the AIE effect. Compared with clusters, Cu SPs possessed higher luminescence performance and energy stability, making them an ideal choice for ECL nanoprobe. The film of PVDF-HFP/CeVO 4 NPs was constructed and modified with CPBA and GSH as the sensing interface (PCCG). The PCCG film displayed good conductivity and hydrophilicity, and desirable mechanical stability. Moreover, the PCCG film can induce high carrier mobility rates and dissociate large amounts of the co-reactant K 2 S 2 O 8 to enhance the ECL intensity of Cu SPs. As a result, the prepared ECL sensor with the catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy was employed to quantify miRNA-103a in the range of 100 fM to 100 nM. The biosensor provided a novel analytical approach for the clinical diagnosis of TNBC.

Low-dimensional metal halides are favored for optoelectronic device applications due to their strong electron–phonon coupling capability, which produces exciton self-trapping and broadband emission optoelectronic properties. Conventional methods for enhancing electron–phonon coupling involve the introduction of permanent defects or lattice distortions that inhibit the intrinsic structure and properties. In this work, we report that Cu-doped CsPb2Br5 nanocrystals exhibit broadband red emission with a high Stokes shift, a long fluorescence lifetime (9.27 μs), and a high photoluminescence quantum yield (∼ 36%) in the visible to near-infrared spectral range (∼550 to 825 nm). At the same time, the fact that the emission spectrum is independent of the excitation wavelength and the excitation spectrum is independent of the emission wavelength, together with the similarity of the decay kinetics, suggests that the broad-band emission has intrinsic properties. The soft vibrational modes of Raman spectroscopy indicate the softness of the lattice and the highly anharmonic character of the structure on the global and local scales. These properties lead to short-range elastic lattice deformation of Cu/CsPb2Br5 nanocrystals upon photoexcitation by strong electron–phonon coupling, resulting in self-trapped exciton emission. This method of doping-induced local distortion and exciton self-capture provides a way to improve the properties of the optoelectronic materials. Meanwhile, the fluorescence change in the crystal structure from CsPbBr3 to CsPb2Br5 can also be used for anticounterfeiting inks. Therefore, CsPb2Br5 crystals have promising applications in solid-state lighting and optoelectronic devices.

To increase the extraction efficiency of quercetin from Pinus koraiensis seed scales (PKSS), an innovative chitosan-Cu-Fe (CS-Cu-Fe) ionic liquid system for efficient ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) of PKSS quercetin (PKSSQ) was designed. A first-order kinetic model was applied to analyse the extraction performance, and key factors influencing the process were systematically optimized. The optimal conditions were as follows: 2.00 g sample, 0.016 mol [BMIM]Br, 0.6 %, 100 W, 53°C, 12:1 mL/g, and 14 min. Under these conditions, the actual PKSSQ yield was 2.92 mg/g ± 0.02 mg/g, which closely aligned with the theoretical yield of 2.96 mg/g. The extraction kinetics were compared across different methods, and the stability of the CS-Cu-Fe system was evaluated through recovery experiments. The CS-Cu-Fe was characterized using Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), hysteresis loop (HL) measurement, electrical conductance (EC) measurement and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the extracted residues. CS-Cu-Fe demonstrated exceptional thermal stability, magnetic properties, and catalytic activity, significantly enhancing the PKSSQ extraction efficiency. FT-IR analysis revealed minimal spectral changes in CS-Cu-Fe, with notable EC differences. Owing to its stable core functional groups, CS-Cu-Fe maintained excellent thermal stability, crystal structure, soft magnetism, and catalytic efficiency. This study highlights the efficiency of the CS-Cu-Fe ionic liquid system in UAE of PKSSQ and the role of its stable core functional groups in improving the extraction and catalytic performance. This innovative approach provides a robust theoretical foundation for extracting and developing natural products from PKSS, with promising future applications.

Due to their significant capacity and reliable reversibility, transition metal sulphides (TMSs) have received attention as potential anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Nonetheless, a prevalent challenge with TMSs lies in their significant volume expansion and sluggish kinetics, impeding their capacity for rapid and enduring Na + storage. Herein, a Cu 1.96 S@NC nanodisc material enriched with copper vacancies is synthesised via a hydrothermal and annealing procedure. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the incorporation of copper vacancies significantly boosts electrical conductivity by reducing the energy barrier for ion diffusion, thereby promoting efficient electron/ion transport. Moreover, the presence of copper vacancies creates ample active sites for the integration of sodium ions, streamlines charge transfer, boosts electronic conductivity, and, ultimately, significantly enhances the overall performance of SIBs. This novel anode material, Cu 1.96 S@NC, demonstrates a reversible capacity of 339 mAh g −1 after 2000 cycles at a rate of 5 A g −1 . In addition, it maintains a noteworthy reversible capacity of 314 mAh g −1 with an exceptional capacity retention of 96% even after 2000 cycles at 20 A g −1 . The results demonstrate that creating cationic vacancies is a highly effective strategy for engineering anode materials with high capacity and rapid reactivity.

The nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) represents a promising route for water treatment and NH3 generation. This process involves the deoxygenation of NO3− to form nitrite (NO2−), followed by its subsequent hydrogenation. However, discrepancies in the rates of these two steps result in a decrease in faradaic efficiency (FE) and NH3 yield rate. Herein, we demonstrated a tandem catalyst of (Cu7/Ag3)7-Ru3/C achieving a high NH3 yield rate of 3.45 mmol h−1 cm−2 (2.30 mol gcat−1 h−1) and a FE of 93.48% at −0.9 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode. The Cu/Ag heterostructure greatly enhanced the conversion of NO3− to NO2− over a wide potential window due to the synergistic effect, while Ru, selectively adsorbing NO2−, provided active hydrogen derived from water hydrolysis to facilitate NH3 synthesis. Furthermore, (Cu7/Ag3)7-Ru3/C exhibited stable performance in a membrane electrode assembly over 60 hours, achieving an average NH3 yield rate of 6.90 mmol h−1. The ammonium chloride solid product was successfully obtained using an air stripping methodology. In situ characterization revealed that the surface microenvironment of Ru influenced the adsorption configuration of *NO and on-top adsorbed NO was more favorable for ammonia synthesis compared to bridge-adsorbed NO. The overall reaction pathway involved stepwise deoxygenation to form *N and subsequent gradual hydrogenation.

Photocatalytic persulfate activation provides a promising approach for the elimination of persistent organic pollutants from water. This has been exemplified in porphyrin-based metal organic frameworks (PMOFs), which however come with ineffective electron transition within the porphyrin ligand. Herein, we present a Cu ion modification strategy capable of boosting electron transition by inducing electron delocalization under visible light. The introduction of Cu ions increased the degradation rate constant of ciprofloxacin (CIP) by nearly 44 times, surpassing most state-of-the-art photocatalysts. The in-situ characterizations and theoretical calculations suggest that π-electron localization constitutes the origin of ineffective electron transition in PMOFs. The introduction of Cu ions induces π-electron delocalization to intensify the π → π* transition, forming electron-rich centers of Cu to lower the energy barrier for O-O bond cleavage. This work offers fundamental insights into the electron transition within PMOFs, upon which the universal strategy is proposed for improved water decontamination performance via persulfate activation.

A facile and efficient detection method is required to address the potential health risks of ketoprofen (KP) in animal-derived foods. Herein, we integrated molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with Cu-doped Fe 3 O 4 nanozymes (Fe 3 O 4 –Cu) to develop a selective colorimetric sensor for KP detection. Chitosan and glutaraldehyde were used as functional monomers and cross-linkers to fabricate proposed the MIPs@Fe 3 O 4 –Cu. On KP addition, it was specifically captured by the imprinted cavities, thereby blocking the channels between chromogenic substrates and Fe 3 O 4 –Cu. Based on this rationale, a selective colorimetric sensor utilizing MIPs@Fe 3 O 4 –Cu was established, exhibiting a linear range of 0.25–100 μM and a detection limit of 0.073 μM. The developed method was validated through its application in milk samples, yielding satisfactory recoveries with low relative standard deviations. This efficient and selective colorimetric sensor holds immense significance for KP detection in complex samples.

Using a citrate-assisted liquid phase co-precipitation method, a CuCoAl-LDH composite nanomaterial was successfully synthesized in situ on rGO and applied to alcohol synthesis for the first time. Structural characterization and morphological observations indicate that the hybrid material consists of hexagonal LDH nanosheets that are vertically aligned, crossed and densely distributed on the rGO surface. The graphene support significantly promoted the dispersion of LDH and prevented strong interlayer stacking during LDH crystal growth. After optimization of the Co/Cu ratio, the Cu 2 Co 1 /Al 2 O 3 /rGO catalyst exhibited a total alcohol selectivity of 60 %, of which 82 % were C 2+ alcohols, and no deactivation was observed after 100 h of reaction. The addition of the graphene support significantly reduced the particle size of the Cu-Co alloy on the catalyst surface, and the particles were highly dispersed on both the Al 2 O 3 matrix and the rGO surface. This dispersion facilitated strong interactions between the Cu-Co alloy particles, while the high thermal conductivity of graphene effectively suppressed the formation of hotspots. In addition, the well-ordered three-dimensional nanosheet structure of the LDH precursor provides a large specific surface area and highly uniformly dispersed active centers. This structure not only promotes the formation of bridge adsorption sites with high CO dissociation ability, which balances multiple bonding and bridge CO adsorption, but also significantly increases the probability of CO insertion, thereby enhancing the performance of HAS. This study provides an effective method for the preparation of LDH/rGO composites, demonstrating their broad potential application prospects.

In this work, tannic acid was selected as a green cross-linking agent to cross-link carboxymethyl chitosan to prepare a magnetic adsorbent (CC-OTA@Fe 3 O 4 ), which was used to remove methylene blue (MB) and Cu 2+ . CC-OTA@Fe 3 O 4 was characterized by FTIR, 13 C NMR, XRD, VSM, TGA, BET and SEM. The adsorption behavior was studied using various parameters such as pH value, contact time, initial concentration of MB and Cu 2+ , and temperature. The results showed that adsorption of MB and Cu 2+ followed the pseudo-second-order model and the Sips model. The maximum adsorption capacities were determined to be 560.92 and 104.25 mg/g MB and Cu 2+ at 298 K, respectively. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic in nature. According to the results of FTIR and XPS analyses, the electrostatic interaction was accompanied by π–π interaction and hydrogen bonding for MB adsorption, while complexation and electrostatic interaction were the predominant mechanism for Cu 2+ adsorption. Furthermore, CC-OTA@Fe 3 O 4 displayed remarkable stability in 0.1 M HNO 3 , exhibited promising recyclability, and could be easily separated from aqueous solutions in the magnetic field. This study demonstrates the potential of CC-OTA@Fe 3 O 4 as an adsorbent for the removal of cationic dyes and heavy metals from wastewater.

Since formaldehyde oxidation reaction (FOR) can release H 2 , it is attractive to construct a bipolar hydrogen production system consisting of FOR and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Although copper-based catalysts have attracted much attention due to their low cost and high FOR activity, the performance enhancement mechanism lacks in-depth investigation. Here, an amorphous-crystalline catalyst of amorphous nickel hydroxide-coated copper dendrites on copper foam (Cu@Ni(OH) 2 /CF) is prepared. The modification of Ni(OH) 2 resulted in hydrophilic and aerophobic states on the Cu@Ni(OH) 2 /CF surface, facilitating the transport of liquid-phase species on the electrode surface and accelerating the release of H 2 . The Open circuit potential (OCP) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that this core–shell structure facilitates the adsorption of HCHO and OH − . In addition, the catalytic mechanism and reaction pathway of FOR are investigated through in situ FTIR and DFT calculations, and the results showed that the modification of Ni(OH) 2 lowered the energy barrier for C─H bond breaking and H─H bond formation. In the HER//FOR system, Pt/C//Cu@Ni(OH) 2 /CF can provide a current density of 0.5 A cm −2 at 0.36 V and achieve efficient and stable H 2 production. This work offers new ideas for designing electrocatalysts for bipolar hydrogen production system assisted with formaldehyde oxidation.

A novel absorbent called mercaptopropionyl wheat straw (MPWS) was prepared through alkali pretreatment and mercaptopropionyl modification for efficient removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. Single factor experiments were conducted to investigate various parameters affecting the adsorption of Cu(II) with MPWS. Adsorption experiments including kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics, as well as various characterization methods were employed to discuss the mechanism of Cu(II) uptake by MPWS in this study. The results showed that MPWS exhibited high removal capacity for Cu(II), achieving a maximum removal efficiency of 97.28 % under optimal conditions: oscillation rate at 150 rpm, temperature at 303 K, duration at 2 h, pH value at 6.0, and initial concentration of Cu(II) at 100 mg/L. The fitting results indicated that pseudo-second-order kinetic model better described the experimental data while Freundlich model provided a better fit for isothermal data. Thermodynamic calculations confirmed that the adsorptive process was spontaneous and endothermic. Characterization techniques such as FTIR spectroscopy SEM imaging, and EDS analysis confirmed chemisorption between Cu(II) ions and functional groups present on MPWS including sulfhydryl groups, amine groups, hydroxyl groups, and carboxyl groups. Overall, the main mechanisms governing Cu(II) uptake onto MPWS included coordination, ion exchange, electrostatic adsorption, and physical adsorption.

Diatomite supported Pd–M (M = Cu, Co, Ni) bimetal nanocatalysts with various metal compositions were prepared and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was demonstrated that the metal nanoparticles were uniformly distributed on the support, and their size was centered around 8 nm with a relatively narrow size distribution. The catalysts were used to catalyze hydrogenation of long-chain aliphatic esters, including methyl palmitate, methyl stearate, and methyl laurate. It was indicated that the all diatomite-supported Pd-based bimetal catalysts were active to the selective hydrogenation of long-chain esters to corresponding alcohols at 270 °C, originated from the synergistic effect between the metal particles and the diatomite support. For the selective hydrogenation of methyl palmitate, Pd–Cu/diatomite with metal loading of 1% and Pd/Cu = 3 displayed the highest performance, giving a 1-hexadecanol yield of 82.9% at the substrate conversion of 98.8%.
