In present work, a highly sensitive biosensor with high selectivity for glucose monitoring is developed based on novel nano-composites of nitrogen doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) and a novel bimetallic Cu/Ni core-shell nanoparticles (CSNPs) (Cu@Ni CSNPs/N-GQDs NCs). With the tuned electronic properties, N-GQDs helped bimetallic core-shell structure nanomaterials from aggregation, and separate the charges generated at the interface. This novel nano-composites also have the good electrical conductivity of N-GQDs, catalyst property of Cu/Ni bimetallic nano composite, Cu@Ni core-shell structure and the synergistic effect of the interaction between bimetallic nano composite and N-GQDs. While modified the electrode with this novel nano-composites, the sensor’ linear range is 0.09 ~ 1 mM, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 1.5 μM (S/N = 3) with a high sensitivity of 660 μA mM -1 cm -2 , and rapid response time (3 s). Its’ LOD is more than 74 times lower than the traditional Cu@Ni CSNPs modified working electrode. It also has higher sensitivity and wider linear range. This indicates the great potential of applying this kind of nano composites in electrode modification.

Silicate materials have been frequently used as stable, low-cost and efficient adsorbents for the removal of dyes and heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. Herein, at the aim of designing new adsorbent with higher adsorption capacity, natural palygorskite (PAL) was modified via a one-step hydrothermal process by introducing sodium silicate and magnesium salts. The effect of Si/Mg dosage ratio on the structure and physico-chemical features of the adsorbent was investigated, and its adsorption capability for Methylene blue (MB) and Cu(II) ions was intensively evaluated. It was found that Si/Mg dosage ratio is the key to control the adsorption properties of the adsorbent. The active magnesium silicate could be formed around PAL at the moderate Si/Mg dosage ratio, and even the undesirable quartz impurities without adsorption activity in the natural PAL minerals may transform as amorphous magnesium silicate with higher adsorption activity in this process. The adsorbent shows greater BET specific surface areas (407.3 m 2 /g), ideal surface charge distribution and superior adsorption capacity to MB and Cu(II) ions, with the maximum adsorption capacity of 527.22 mg/g for MB and 210.64 mg/g for Cu(II) ions at the Si/Mg dosage ratio of 2:1. The MB molecules and Cu(II) ion could be almost completely removed from 100 mg/L of MB solution and 25 mg/L of Cu(II) solution by the adsorbent, respectively, which is far away higher than that of raw PAL. The electrostatic attraction, ion exchange and chemical association of –Si–O − groups contribute to the enhanced adsorption for MB or Cu(II) ions.

Commercial Cu foam can be employed as a 3D current collector to accommodate Na metal for stable sodium metal batteries (SMBs). However, few studies focus on regulating the interphase structure and properties of Cu foam to achieve fast and uniform Na impregnation. Herein, a facile and controllable oxidation treatment strategy is used to in-situ construct a fluffy CuO/Cu 2 O surface layer on the skeleton of Cu foam (SF–Cu-3.6). The oxidation degree and interphase structure of Cu foam can be rationally designed by adjusting the concentration of (NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 8 oxidant, which is directly related to the driving force of Na infusion. With an optimized interface, Na metal can be rapidly infused into SF-Cu-3.6 within 5 s and a structurally complete Na/SF-Cu-3.6 composite electrode with a flat surface and no visible void can be obtained. The SF-Cu-3.6 with a large surface area can be used as a 3D host for Na metal to lower the local current density during cycling, resulting in uniform Na deposition without dendrite formation and growth. In virtue of the structural advantages, the symmetric Na/SF-Cu-3.6 cell exhibits flat charge/discharge plateaus with a low overpotential of 12 mV and stable cycling up to 1000 h at 0.5 mA cm −2 . When paired with NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 , the rate performance of the full cell using the Na/SF-Cu-3.6 composite anode is significantly better than that of the full cell using a bare Na anode.

A copper-based catalyst, which was supported by sulfonate group (−SO3H) grafted active carbon (AC), was prepared and activated simultaneously by liquid phase chemical reduction method. The modified copper catalyst, Cu/AC–SO3H, displayed an enhanced catalytic performance for selective hydrogenation of furfural (FAL) to furfuryl alcohol (FOL) in liquid phase, in which almost 100% FOL yield was obtained at 378 K and 0.4 MPa of hydrogen pressure after 120 min reaction. The effect of −SO3H was evaluated and illustrated by the combination of reaction performance and physicochemical characterizations, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) measurements. Through grafting sulfonate group on the support, better dispersion of nanoparticles, higher reduction degree of Cu, and stronger adsorption of FAL can be attained to contribute high hydrogenation performance. In addition, the effects of reaction conditions (such as reaction temperature, H2 pressure, reaction time, solvent, and catalyst to FAL mass ratio) were evaluated intensively. Also, the Cu/AC–SO3H catalyst showed an excellent catalytic performance for transfer hydrogenation of FAL, in which 2-propanol was utilized as the solvent and hydrogen donor concurrently. Cycling test proved the prepared catalyst could be recycled and reused for several times without noticeably reduced catalytic activity of hydrogenation.

There is an urgent need for developing electrochemical biosensor based on the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition to real-time analysis of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs), but it is suffered from the sluggish electrode kinetics and high oxidation potential toward signal species. Herein, a nanocomposite of ultrafine Cu quantum dots (QD) uniformly loaded on three-dimensional ultrathin graphdiyne (GDY) nanosheets (denoted as Cu@GDY) was synthesized via a one-step strategy, which showing high-density of active sites with persistent stability. Then an AChE biosensor based on Cu@GDY was fabricated to detect OPs, and the results revealed that the Cu@GDY nanocomposite can significantly amplifies electrochemical signal and reduces the oxidation potential for OPs. The strong interaction between active site of Cu@GDY and thiocholine signal species caused rapid analyte aggregation and decreased the reaction activation energy of thiocholine electro-oxidation. Benefiting from the excellent catalytic activity of Cu@GDY nanocomposite and reasonable regulation of enzyme inhibition kinetics , the biosensor achieved rapid and sensitive detection of OPs with a detection limit of 1 μg L −1 for paraoxon . Furthermore, the biosensor demonstrated great reproducibility, good stability and high recovery rate for OPs detection in real samples. Cu@GDY based sensor also displayed high catalytic activities and good selectivity to the non-enzymatic detection of glucose in alkaline medium . Cu@GDY offers a versatile and promising platform for sensors and biosensors featuring remarkably enhanced activity and stability, and can be applied to many other fields as desirable electrocatalyst .

A facile polymer thermal treatment method has been employed to fabricate 3D honeycomb-like nitrogen-doped graphitic carbons (N-GCs) with embedded core–shell Cu@Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs). The 3D honeycomb-like N-GC architectures can not only serve as an excellent carrier for core–shell Cu@Cu2O NPs, but also provide sufficient active sites and fast electron transmission channels. Under visible light irradiation, the Cu@Cu2O/N-GC-600 catalyst has the highest yields of CH4 and CO at 38.89 μmol g−1 and 27.78 μmol g−1, respectively. The excellent photocatalytic activity is attributed to the synergistic effects between the unique N-GC framework and core–shell Cu@Cu2O NPs, which accelerates the transfer of charge carriers and promotes the accumulation of photogenerated electrons on core–shell Cu@Cu2O. The results of this study may be beneficial for the design and synthesis of high-efficiency core–shell photocatalysts.

A promising technology was proposed for the remediation of Cu and phenanthrene (PHE) co-contaminated soil. Firstly, Cu and PHE were simultaneously removed from soil using an extraction agent containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and Tween 80 (TW80). Specifically, Cu was mobilized by the chelation of EDTA while PHE was desorpted from soil by TW80 micelles. At 20 mL g − 1 of liquid to soil ratio, 10 g L − 1 TW80 and 1 mM EDTA, 73.5% Cu and 68.1% PHE were removed by soil washing. The extraction agent was then recovered from effluent by photoelectro-persulfate (PE/PS) process after soil washing. Under the conditions of 10 mM PS, 4 mA cm − 2 current density, natural pH of 3.5 and 150 min treatment, 83.6% Cu was reduced to elemental copper but only 36.8% EDTA was recovered, while 99.6% PHE was eliminated and 94.0% TW80 was recovered. The result of quenching experiments indicated PHE was predominantly oxidized by sulfate radical, though hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen were also identified by electron paramagnetic resonance technique. The recovered extracting agent could be reused for further three washing cycles. The results demonstrated that soil washing followed by PE/PS process could be a cost-effective remediation technology for heavy metal and organic co-contaminated soil.

Immobilization of enzyme could offer the biocatalyst with increased stability and important recoverability, which plays a vital role in the enzyme’s industrial applications. In this study, we present a new strategy to build an intelligent enzyme carrier by coating titania nanoparticles with thermoresponsive epoxy-functionalized polymers. Zero-valent copper-mediated living radical polymerization (Cu(0)-LRP) was utilized herein to copolymerize N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and glycidyl acrylate (GA) directly from an unprotected dopamine-functionalized initiator to obtain an epoxy-containing polymer with terminal anchor for the “grafting to” or “one-pot” modification of titania nanoparticles. A rhodamine B-labeled laccase has been subsequently used as a model enzyme for successful immobilization to yield an intelligent titania/laccase hybrid bifunctional catalyst. The immobilized laccase has shown excellent thermal stability under ambient or even relatively high temperature above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at which temperature the hybrid particles could be facilely recovered for reuse. The enzyme activity could be maintained during the repeated use after recovery and enzymatic degradation of bisphenol A was proven to be efficient. The photocatalytic ability of titania was also investigated by fast degradation of rhodamine B under the excitation of simulated sunlight. Therefore, this study has provided a facile strategy for the immobilization of metal oxide catalysts with enzymes, which constructs a novel bifunctional catalyst that will be promising for the “one-pot” degradation of different organic pollutants.

Amino-functionalized graphene oxide (GO-NH 2 ) was synthesized by grafting (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane on the graphene oxide (GO) surface. The GO-NH 2 with high surface area and numerous active sites can efficiently adsorb Cr(VI), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions. The maximum adsorption capacities of GO-NH 2 for Cr(VI), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II) were 280.11, 26.25, 71.89 and 10.04 mg g −1 , respectively. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were employed to describe the kinetic processes. The experimental data agreed well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation, and the adsorption of heavy metals onto GO-NH 2 occurs via chemical adsorption. The characteristics of Cr(VI), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II) in the GO-NH 2 adsorption processes were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The adsorption processes of Pb(II) and Cd(II) on GO-NH 2 were fit by the Langmuir model. The Freundlich isotherm model was well correlated to Cr(VI) and Cu(II). The GO-NH 2 is a promising material for the removal of heavy metal ions from industrial wastewater. This study provides an effective pathway to process industrial wastewater, and the GO-NH 2 has a good adsorption effect for the treatment of heavy metals in industrial wastewater.

Photo-Fenton degradation as a promising strategy for antibiotic wastewater treatment attracted extensive attention, while the unsatisfactory catalytic performance vitally limits its industrial application. Herein, we demonstrate that confining atomically dispersed Cu into C3N4 (Cu–C3N4) enables fast H2O2 activation and efficient separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, resulting in a dramatic improvement of the degradation efficiency of the Photo-Fenton reaction. Photo-Fenton degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) was close to 99% within 30 min over optimized Cu–C3N4, corresponding to a pseudo-first-order rate constant of ∼0.0978 min–1, almost 4.5 times higher than pure C3N4 counterpart. The electron paramagnetic resonance, quenching experiments, and X-ray absorption fine structure results reveal that the superior Photo-Fenton catalytic performance is attributed to a nonradical reaction pathway, where the H2O2 is activated by the formation of the O═Cu–N4═O intermediate. The advanced catalyst as well as the refreshing H2O2 activation mechanism are of profound significance for the materials design in the wastewater treatment field.

The synthesis of a novel Cu(I) complex with V-shaped bidentate ligands {[Cu(BIPMO)]×[CuBr 2 ]} n where BIPMO = bis(4-(1 H -imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone is reported. It is characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Copper(I) ions in the complex are in a distorted environment in which donor atoms are provided by the bromide anion and nitrogen atoms of BIPMO ligands, respectively. Infinite anion chains formed by CuX 4 (X = Br or N) polyhedra are linked by BIPMO ligands to give rise to layers. Furthermore, the layers are linked into 3D networks through weak intermolecular interactions.

A series of supported and bulk Cu–Mn–Ce ternary oxide catalysts was synthesized by wet-impregnation (IM), deposition–precipitation (DP), traditional co-precipitation (CP), co-precipitation with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CC), and sol–gel (SG) methods. The supported catalysts (CuMn/Ce-IM, CuMn/Ce-DP) exhibited significantly higher activity for CO oxidation than the bulk catalysts (CuMnCe-CP, CuMnCe-CC and CuMnCe-SG). The improved performance could be attributed to the presence of more isolated CuO and MnO x entities on the surface of supported catalysts, which contributed to the efficient utilization of both lattice oxygen from CeO 2 and spillover oxygen from surface MnO x . For bulk catalysts, major Cu–Mn species were doped to form \({\text{C}}{{\text{u}}_{\text{x}}}{\text{M}}{{\text{n}}_{\text{y}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{e}}_{1 - {\text{x}} - {\text{y}}}}{{\text{O}}_{2 - {\text{z}}}}\) solid solutions and a part of them were coated by ceria mechanically. Lowest 50% CO conversion temperature were achieved at 76.9 °C for CuMn/Ce-IM catalyst. Low-temperature CO oxidation activities of all catalysts were in the sequence of CuMn/Ce-IM > CuMn/Ce-DP > CuMnCe-SG > CuMnCe-CC > CuMnCe-CP. Graphical Abstract
