The construction of multicomponent transition metal oxide catalysts can effectively increase the surface defects of catalysts, and bring a synergistic effect from different components, thus enhancing the generation of reactive oxygen species and improving the catalytic activity of catalysts for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) oxidation. In this article, CuO/Co3O4catalysts with abundant oxygen vacancies for the degradation of ethyl acetate was prepared by a simple impregnation method. The effect of the ratio of Co/Cu on the redox capacity, oxygen vacancy, active oxygen species and catalytic oxidation activity of ethyl acetate were studied. The 90% conversion and mineralization temperatures of ethyl acetate for the optimal catalyst Co3O4-20Cu are 211 and 214 °C (WHSV = 60,000 mL/(g·h), 1000 ppm ethyl acetate), which also shows good stability and excellent water vapor resistance. Compared with pure Co3O4, the CuO/Co3O4catalysts have more oxygen vacancies, provide more reactive oxygen species, allowing the catalyst better low-temperature reduction. Through in situ DRIFTS study, the intermediates of ethyl acetate decomposition were analyzed, then a possible catalytic oxidation mechanism of ethyl acetate on the Co3O4-20Cu catalyst was proposed. In addition, we prepared a Co3O4-20Cu/cordierite monolithic catalyst on the basis of Co3O4-20Cu, exhibiting a good catalytic activity in degradation of ethyl acetate.

A facile and sensitive self-powered cathodic photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor is reported for the detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) based on CuO-Cu 2 O nanowire array grown on Cu mesh (CuO-Cu 2 O NWA/CM) as electrode. The mixed narrow band gaps of the CuO-Cu 2 O heterostructure ensured its wide absorption band, effective electron/hole separation, and high photocatalytic activity in the visible region. In addition, nanowires directly grown on the substrate provided high specific surface area and exposed abundant active sites, thus guaranteeing its high photocatalytic efficiency. Therefore, the self-powered sensor exhibited favorable analytical performance with fast response, wide linear ranges of 0.01 to 5 ng/mL and 5 to 100 ng/mL, an acceptable detection limit of 3 pg/mL, and reasonable selectivity and stability. The proposed CuO-Cu 2 O NWA/CM can be considered a promising visible light-responsive photoactive material for fabrication of PEC aptasensor with high performance.

Herein, we adopt a feasible method to synthesize the CuO/Fe 2 O 3 composite with heterostructure. Owing to the significant differences in work functions, an internal electric field is built at the interface of heterojunction after the combination of CuO with Fe 2 O 3 , which can reduce interface resistance and accelerate charge transfer. Interestingly, under the induction of electrostatic interaction provided by internal electric field, the CuO/Fe 2 O 3 composite will form electron-rich and electron-deficient active zones. More importantly, the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) can be oxidized by the CuO with electron-deficient active zone to generate SO 5 •‒ , subsequently converting into 1 O 2 . Meanwhile, the Fe 2 O 3 component with electron-rich active zone can provide electrons for PMS to achieve the heterolysis of Fe-O-O, thereby producing the high-valent metal complex (namely ≡ Fe 5+ =O). Consequently, the CuO/Fe 2 O 3 -2-mediated PMS system with good anti-interference ability displays excellent performance in wastewater treatment. Benefiting from the electrophilic reaction of 1 O 2 and ≡ Fe 5+ =O, various typical organic pollutants can be ultimately mineralized into CO 2 , H 2 O and other nontoxic by-products by the CuO/Fe 2 O 3 -2-mediated PMS system. In short, current work shares some novel insights into the effect of internal electric field on PMS activation, which can provide valuable references for future research.

Plastic pollution represents a significant global environmental challenge requiring advanced mitigation strategies. This investigation systematically examines the photocatalytic degradation performance of CuO/TiO 2 composites to prove the feasibility of rapid degradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Various advanced characterization methodologies, including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffractometry (XRD), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), were employed to verify the successful synthesis of nanocomposites and elucidate their distinctive structural attributes and superior photocatalytic functionality. Implementation of a two-step photocatalytic degradation protocol enabled PET to achieve remarkable mass reduction of 97.39 ± 0.79 % after 2 h illumination, representing approximately 30-fold enhancement compared to untreated PET samples. Furthermore, the use of PET film as a pollutant verified the practical feasibility of this method, highlighting the potential of CuO/TiO 2 composites for plastic degradation. Complementary free radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic analyses identified hydroxyl radicals (•OH) as the predominant active species governing PET decomposition pathways. The proposed mechanistic model elucidates the synergistic effects of interfacial energy band modifications between constituent semiconductor components, which critically enhance photoinduced charge carrier separation efficiency. Notably, the study not only achieved the efficient degradation of PET but also provided an efficient method for solving environmental plastic pollution in the future.

A novel binuclear Cu(II) complex based on ferrocene dicarboxylate was synthesized through ultrasonic and solvothermal processes and its structure confirmed by spectroscopy (IR), ultraviolet-visible spectrum (UV–Vis) and powder X-ray diffraction analysis (PXRD). Structural characterization of the complex was performed through single-crystal X-ray diffraction and thermal stability of it was perused via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The title Cu(II) complex was used as an effective sensor for H 2 O 2 . The electrochemical method is one of the most effective methods for material sensing. In many electrochemical techniques to increase the efficiency of activity, the electrochemically active agent is supported on a substrate. Instead of using substrate, the chemical active agent can be applied as a part of the complex structure. In this work, ferrocene dicarboxylate as an active agent in the Cu(II) complex has been used for sensing of H 2 O 2 . Due to the effect of particle size on electrochemical activity, the nano-sized complex was synthesized by ultrasonic technique (as an environmentally friendly method) and also, CuO nanoparticles were also obtained by thermal decomposition of ultrasonic treated complex at 500 °C. The size and morphology of the nanoparticles were explored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). As well as, they were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and elemental mapping.

A novel CuO–SiO 2 nanoadsorbent, incorporating copper oxide (CuO) and silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), has been successfully synthesized using three distinct preparation processes: Mode-A (solution and solution), Mode-B (solution and nanoparticles), and Mode-C (nanoparticles and nanoparticles). The investigation focuses on evaluating the efficiency of the CuO–SiO 2 nanoadsorbent, considering its synthesis process, reusability, and sustained performance over time, particularly in the removal of Rose Bengal dye. Characterization results revealed the formation of CuO–SiO 2 nanocomposites structure irregular shapes morphology across all three-preparation processes. The average particle sizes for Mode-A, Mode-B, and Mode-C nanocomposites were determined as 18.1 nm, 15.6 nm, and 14.8 nm, respectively. Furthermore, the band gap energies of the CuO–SiO 2 nanocomposites were measured at 2.2 eV, 1.8 eV, and 3.29 eV for Mode-A, Mode-B, and Mode-C, respectively. Remarkably, the CuO–SiO 2 nanocomposite prepared using Mode-B demonstrated superior photocatalytic activity in degrading the anionic dye Rose Bengal, achieving a degradation coefficient of 84.8%. In comparison, CuO NPs, tested under the same experimental conditions (120 min contact time, pH = 7, temperature of 25 °C, and solar light irradiation), achieved a degradation coefficient of 78.8%. These findings highlight the potential of the CuO–SiO 2 nanoadsorbent, particularly when synthesized via Mode-B, for effective and environmentally friendly dye degradation applications.

An innovative formaldehyde sensor based on CuO/ZnO composite nanofibrous mats (C-NFMs) coated quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), which is capable of stable determination of formaldehyde gas at ambient temperatures sensitively and selectively, has been successfully fabricated. Triaxial and highly porous C-NFMs with high surface area (126.53 m 2 g −1 ) were synthesized by electrospinning a sol-gel cellulose acetate (CA)/CuAc 2 /ZnAc 2 complex solution and following by calcination process. Benefiting from the unique heterojunction structure, immense pore interconnectivity and large surface area of C-NFMs, the as-developed QCM sensors exhibited an extremely low limit of detection (LOD) down to 26 ppb and a limit of quantification value equals to 87 ppb. Besides, the C-NFMs coated QCM sensors also demonstrated short response times (80s), the long-term stability during 3 weeks as well as good selectivity to formaldehyde over diverse volatile organic compounds. The sorption equilibrium in the adsorption process of QCM coated sensors was well met with the Freundlich model, which certified the heterogeneous adsorption between formaldehyde gas and C-NFMs.

In this article, a CRET-based chemiluminescent sensor was developed for ascorbic acid detection. Au/Pt@Cu2O/CuO NPs with peroxidase activity were prepared to catalyse the decomposition of H2O2 to produce free radicals, which led to the enhancement of the chemiluminescence (CL) signal, and the CRET between luminol and MnO2 NSs was able to take place and the CL signal was reduced; the presence of ascorbic acid would reduce MnO2 NSs, which was able to weaken the energy transfer between luminol and MnO2 NSs and restored the CL signal. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the detection range of ascorbic acid was 1–1000 μM, and the LOD was 0.35 μM. The method is sensitive and has a wide linear range, and is expected to be applied to the detection of ascorbic acid in more complex environments.

To improve the sensitivity and selectivity for S 2− and Fe 2+ detection in complex agricultural products, ultra-small nano CeO 2 /CuO doped carboxylated chitosan fibers (CeO 2 /CuO CCF) was constructed under microwave-assisted conditions. Not only did CeO 2 /CuO CCF possess suitable BET specific surface area, superior stability and synergistic-enhancement oxidase-like activity, trace S 2− or Fe 2+ could selectively change its oxidase-like activity accompanying with visible color changes. Under the optimized conditions, there express specific double ratiometric colorimetric linear relationships between lg( A 729 / A 343 )/lg( A 415/ A 343 ) and c S 2− or c Fe 2+ with large linear ranges. When applied for visual monitoring of S 2− and Fe 2+ in real agricultural products, the detection limits were low to 3.5 × 10 −9 mol·L −1 and 9.4 × 10 −8 mol·L −1 respectively, far below the permitted values in drinking water by World Health Organization. The mechanisms for synergistic-enhancement oxidase-like activity for CeO 2 /CuO CCF to selectively recognize S 2− and Fe 2+ were proposed. This work will provide an efficient way for visual monitoring of multiple analytes in complex agricultural products.

Developing highly efficient photocatalysts for the degradation of pharmaceutical and personal care product residues is of significance and challenge. Herein, a graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)/metal–organic framework (MOF) nanosheet/CuO heterostructure was successfully constructed via electrostatic self-assembly and in situ growth strategies. The heterostructure at ultralow doses (6 mg) displayed the highest tetracycline (TC, 20 mg/L) degradation efficiency of 78.8% under visible light within 27 min. Moreover, this heterostructure maintained a good TC degradation efficiency after four cycles. Experimental data and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the good photocatalytic performance of the as-prepared heterostructure is attributed to the positively charged MOF sheet interlayer and the coupling effect between the g-C3N4, MOF nanosheet and CuO, which can enrich electrons, ions, molecules, and block holes to greatly improve the rapid separation of photogenerated carriers from g-C3N4 or CuO and the adsorption of reactants. The types of reactive oxygen species and effects of inorganic ions on photocatalytic performance were further studied. This work presented a novel strategy to construct a self-assembled heterostructure for visible photocatalytic applications.

Tandem enzyme can catalyze some cascade reactions with high efficiency, and some few tandem enzyme-like mimics have been discovered recently. Further improving the catalytic efficiency of tandem nanoenzymes with facile method may undoubtedly promote and broaden their applications in various fields. In this work, cupric oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) with dual-functional enzyme mimics were synthesized using the rapid deposition method in advance, which simultaneously combined with lanthanide infinite coordination polymers (Ln ICPs) during the self-assemble of Tb 3+ , guanine-5′-triphosphate (GTP) and auxiliary ligand terephthalic acid (TA). Excitingly, the obtained Tb-GTP/TA@CuO ICPs, not only displayed obviously enhanced tandem catalytic activity compared with pure CuO NPs, but also provided a versatile ratiometric platform for ultrahigh selective and sensitive detection of glutathione (GSH) under single-wavelength excitation. A good linear relationship between the ratio signal and the GSH concentration was spanning from 0.001 to 20 μM with an impressive detection limit of 0.50 nM. This study opens a new and universal avenue for preparing integrated multifunctional probes by coupling of nanoenzyme catalytic activity with superior luminescent Ln ICPs through facile method.

A photoelectrochemical (PEC) assay strategy for the detection of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) was fabricated. RuSe 2 /CuO nanohybrids were first prepared by hydrothermal method. As a transition metal element semiconductor, RuSe 2 has excellent optical and electrical properties. By combining the excellent conductivity and adjustable bandgap of CuO, a binary heterojunction nanoflower with high photoelectric response was obtained. The combination of RuSe 2 and CuO reduces the electron hole recombination rate; the RuSe 2 /CuO nanohybrids exhibits a higher photocurrent response. In the MMP-9 PEC strategy determination, the magnetic beads (MB)-peptide-alkaline phosphatase (ALP) recognition probe was formed by modifying C-terminal of the peptide chain with biotin and binding to ALP, and the N-terminal was connected to carboxylated MB. When the target MMP-9 exists, the recognition probe, MB-Peptide-ALP, was recognized by MMP-9 to cut the substrate area and coding area and release ALP, catalyzing the hydrolysis of O-phosphonoxyphenol (OPP) to produce benzene-1,2-diol in situ, the photocurrent response was generated. This strategy provides lower background PEC noise for detecting MMP-9, with the advantage of simplicity and the sensitivity than conventional ELISA. The results showed that the recognition peptide probe PEC method achieved ultra-high sensitivity detection of target MMP-9, with a linear detection range of 1 pg/mL–100 ng/mL and a detection limit of 0.3 pg/mL (S/N = 3). The results of PEC assay strategy in human serum sample give the recoveries rate of 94.3 % to 108.1 % and relative standard deviation of 0.45–5.87 %.
