The development of cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) photocathode for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting confronts charge recombination and photocorrosion. Herein, a facile strategy for wrapping Cu 2 O photocathode with Cu ions intercalated graphene oxide (Cu-GO) was proposed to realize efficient PEC water splitting. The intercalating GO with Cu ions could reduce the bandgap and enhance the carrier mobility of Cu-GO. The as-formed Cu-GO could suppress surface charge recombination and accumulation of the Cu-GO/Cu 2 O photocathode by improving the interfacial charge transfer, which strengthens electron extraction and restrains photocorrosion. The Cu-GO/Cu 2 O photocathode achieved a high photocurrent density of − 7.03 mA cm −2 (at 0 V vs. RHE) under AM 1.5 G illumination and excellent photostability for PEC water splitting. This work provides a simple way to design Cu 2 O-based photocathodes with reliable charge transfer layers for efficient PEC water splitting.

p-Nitrophenol (PNP) is one of the highly toxic and mutagenic pollutants existed in aquatic environment. In this work, the crednerite CuMnO 2 nanoflake was prepared and used to degrade PNP with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) as the oxidant. It was found that CuMnO 2 exhibited much higher activity than other Cu-based catalysts such as CuO, Cu 2 O, CuFe 2 O 4 and CuFeO 2 , with 90% of PNP degraded after 10 min under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst was also stable during five successive runs. Sulfate and hydroxyl radicals produced from PMS reduction by Cu(I) species, as well as superoxide ions and single oxygen, contribute to the degradation of PNP. More importantly, the interactions between Mn and Cu species in CuMnO 2 were identified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and were further confirmed by the control experiment with the mixture of Cu 2 O + Mn 2 O 3 . The results implied that the high valent Mn(III) species acted as Lewis acids to withdraw electron from PMS, resulting that the Cu(I) species can be easier oxidized to Cu(II) by PMS with the formation of radicals. These findings provide an ideal bimetallic heterogeneous catalyst and a new mechanism for PMS-mediated reaction.

NH3 is the most important gaseous alkaline pollutant, which when accumulated at high concentrations can have a serious impact on animal and human health. More importantly, NH3 emissions will react with acidic pollutant gases to form particulate matter (PM2.5) in the atmosphere, which also poses a huge threat to human activities. The use of adsorbents for NH3 removal from emission sources or air is an urgent issue. However, there are difficulties in the compatibility between high adsorption capacity and recyclability for most conventional adsorbents. In this work, a structural transformation strategy using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is proposed for large-scale and recyclable NH3 adsorption. A series of M(BDC) (M = Cu, Zn, Cd) materials can transform into one-dimensional M(BDC)(NH3)2 after NH3 adsorption, resulting in repeatable adsorption capacities of 17.2, 14.1, and 7.4 mmol/g, respectively. These MOFs can be completely regenerated at 250 °C for 80 min with no adsorption capacity loss. Besides, breakthrough and cycle tests indicate that Cu(BDC) and Zn(BDC) show good performance in the removal of low concentrations of NH3 from the air. Overall, combining the advantages of high adsorption capacity and recyclability due to the reversible structural transformation, Cu(BDC) and Zn(BDC) can be employed as ideal adsorbent candidates for NH3 removal.

Regulating the electronic structure of Bi-based materials by alloying engineering is promising to promote the electrocatalytic activity, but it remains some challenges to be solved. In this study, a facile electrochemical co-deposition strategy is developed to synthesize the bimetallic Bi 9 Cu 1 alloy nanosheet on carbon cloth (Bi 9 Cu 1 /CC), which represents a novel self-supporting electrode for the electrocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reduction reaction (CO 2 RR). The Bi 9 Cu 1 /CC catalyst has achieved a remarkable catalytic performance with high Faradaic efficiencies (FE) of over 90% for formate at wide potentials from −0.7 to −1.2 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). Moreover, the reversible Zn-CO 2 battery can be driven by Bi 9 Cu 1 /CC cathode with a largest power density of 1.4 mW·cm −2 , and superior operating stability. The systematic characterizations and electrochemical results confirm that the improved catalytic active sites, the enhanced mass/charge transport and the optimal reaction kinetics of Bi nanosheet are realized for CO 2 RR by Cu alloying. In situ attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) result confirms the bimetallic Bi-Cu active sites prefer to follow the ⋆OCHO conversion pathway. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the Cu alloying contributes to the increased density of states near the Fermi surface of Bi and the optimized adsorption of ⋆OCHO intermediates on the Bi sites, resulting in the excellent catalytic performance.

In this paper, we have developed a fast and low-cost label-free electrochemical immunosensor for detection of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG). The proposed sensor is based on a glassy carbon electrode modified with Cu@Cu 2 O nanoparticles anchored B, N co-doped porous carbon (BNPC) composite. The copper-derived nanoparticles with multiple valence states undergo dramatic changes in surface areas, conductivity, and actives sites due to their combination with BNPC, resulting in enhanced electrochemical performance. In the amperometric immunoassay, the immune complex of antigen and antibody inhibits the transfer of electrons on the electrode interface, causing a change in the current. Thus the quantitative detection of LGG is achieved. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was performed at a LGG concentration of 10 2 to 10 8 colony-forming units CFU mL −1 . The immunosensor showed a good linear relationship between the decrease in peak current and the concentration of LGG ( R 2 = 0.9934), with a short detection time and a detection limit of 12 CFU mL −1 . In short, we have developed a highly sensitive electrochemical immunosensor for the specific detection of LGG using the current-mode, label-free immunoassay method evaluated in this study, providing a reliable mean for quantifying probiotics.

Composites of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are important materials to utilize the optical properties of CQDs in diverse applications including photoluminescence-based sensing and LED phosphors. Combining pre-prepared CQDs with a polymeric matrix usually causes changes in the optical properties of CQDs due to unavoidable aggregation. Recently, the preparation of composites based on in-situ formed CQDs has been debated to overcome the aggregation limits of the conventional mixing methods. Herein, we have demonstrated the synthesis of homogeneous CQDs composites by simple thermal annealing blends of aluminum hydroxide (AlOH), citric acid (CA), and urea (URA). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy studies revealed the formation of individual CQDs with a diameter of about 2–9 nm dispersed homogeneously over the AlOH matrix. The composites have a broad excitation band centered at about 360 nm and exhibit excitation-dependent photoluminescence which was similar to that of hydrothermally synthesized CQDs from CA and URA. The photoluminescent intensity of the composite was stable to UV irradiation and responded selectively to Cu(II) ion demonstrating its potential application in Cu(II) sensing.

To mimic the strategy used by natural photosynthesis in Photosystem II, which adopts the cubic Mn4CaO5 cluster as a natural oxygen-evolving complex, a bio-inspired cubane-like tetranuclear cluster [Cu4(pdmH)4(OAc)2](NO3)2·3H2O (1) has been synthesized successfully with pyridine-2, 6-dimethanol as the ideal ligand, and investigated by X-ray crystallography, PXRD, in situ UV-vis-NIR spectroelectrochemical analysis, and magneto- and electrochemistry. By X-ray analysis, it is shown that the distorted cubane-like core Cu4(μ3-O)4 is composed of four CuII and four μ3-O which arrange at the vertices of a slightly distorted cube. Electrochemical studies indicate that complex 1 presents potential properties as an effective molecular catalyst for electrocatalytic water oxidation under aqueous alkaline conditions at a potential of ∼1.20 V vs. NHE with a relatively low overpotential of ∼400–665 mV vs. NHE, which may result from the unique covalent metal–oxo bonding. Magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that complex 1 displays overall antiferromagnetic exchanges between the Cu(II) ions within the clusters. Temperature dependence of in-phase (χM′) ac susceptibility signals display frequency-dependence, whereas the out-of-phase (χM′′) signals show no significant frequency-dependence for complex 1, which indicates that the complex may not be a SMM.

Tannin was crosslinked with paraformaldehyde to prepare tannin-phenolic polymer(TP), TP immobilized on cellulose (TPPC) was prepared by the cross-linking reaction of TP and cellulose with epichlorohydrin as crosslinking agent. Tannin was crosslinked prior to being immobilized on cellulose, which could increase the effective phenolic hydroxyl content in cellulose skeleton and improve the adsorption property of TPPC for metal ions. The maximum adsorption capacity of TPPC for Cd(II) and Cu(II) ions were 80.11 mg/g and 55.97 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption equilibrium data for the metal solutions fitted the Langmuir model well. The adsorption rate data fitted well to a Pseudo-second-order model. The TPPC has potential application value in the field of metal wastewater treatment.

The conversion of the heavy concentration of nitroarenes into their corresponding non-toxic aminoarenes is very meaningful for both environment and industrial applications. In this study, a series of Cu 2 O/SrTiO 3 nanocomposites and further Cu 2 O/Cu/SrTiO 3 via Cu + reducing in situ during the reactive proceeding were fabricated and applied to reduce nitroarenes. The as-prepared composites present high reductive activity and reusable stability for 4-nitrophenol both under the continuous multi-batch ways and flow conditions. The test in an enlarged level revealed 4-nitrophenol (10 L, 0.01 mol L −1 ) could be quickly conversed to 4-aminophenol over the as prepared sample (300 mg) within 1 h under continuous flow conditions by a self-designed device. The mechanism investigation proposed that Cu 0 /Cu +1 pairs serve as a hydrogen and electron transferred shuttle to promote the reductive ability while SrTiO 3 as a protective agent packs up tetrakaidecahedron Cu 2 O to achieve a substantial increase in the stability of the catalyst. The existence of a Cu 2 O–Cu–SrTiO 3 three-phase interface in the hybrid is proved to play the key roles in the greatly enhanced electron transfer ability and the better catalytic activity. The present investigation indicates that the as-prepared samples may be effective and potential materials for the cleaner and sustained conversion of nitroarenes to aminoarenes on a lab level as well as a larger scale.

Immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) adsorbents generally have excellent affinity for histidine-rich proteins. However, the leaching of metal ions from the adsorbent usually affects its adsorption performance, which greatly affects the reusable performance of the adsorbent, resulting in many limitations in practical applications. Herein, a novel IMAC adsorbent, i.e., Cu(II)-loaded polydopamine-coated urchin-like titanate microspheres (Cu-PDA-UTMS), was prepared via metal coordination to make Cu ions uniformly decorate polydopamine-coated titanate microspheres. The as-synthesized microspheres exhibit an urchin-like structure, providing more binding sites for hemoglobin. Cu-PDA-UTMS exhibit favorable selectivity for hemoglobin adsorption and have a desirable adsorption capacity towards hemoglobin up to 2704.6 mg g−1. Using 0.1% CTAB as eluent, the adsorbed hemoglobin was easily eluted with a recovery rate of 86.8%. In addition, Cu-PDA-UTMS shows good reusability up to six cycles. In the end, the adsorption properties by Cu-PDA-UTMS towards hemoglobin from human blood samples were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The results showed that Cu-PDA-UTMS are a high-performance IMAC adsorbent for hemoglobin separation, which provides a new method for the effective separation and purification of hemoglobin from complex biological samples.

O3-type layered oxides are considered ideal cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to their high theoretical capacities, but these materials undergo complex phase transitions during the Na + extraction and insertion, resulting in serious structural degradation and reduced cycling stability. Herein, we employ “Cu/Mg co-doping strategy” to synthesize a stable O3-type layered transition metal oxide NaNi 0.25 Cu 0.1 Mg 0.05 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.4 O 2 (NaNCMFMO) with excellent structural reversibility. The resulting NaNCMFMO achieves reversible specific capacity of 123 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C and remarkable improvement in capacity retention of 79.4 % over 300 cycles at 1.0 C, compared to the pristine NaNi 0.4 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.4 O 2 cathode (42.1 % retention after 300 cycles). Additionally, ex situ X-ray diffraction pattern of NaNCMFMO indicates a highly reversible phase evolution of O3-P3-O3 during charge/discharge cycles, and GITT measurements reveal faster Na + diffusion kinetics. Moreover, a NaNCMFMO//hard carbon full-cell battery exhibits superior electrochemical performance: a high reversible specific capacity of 105.1 mAh g −1 at 1.0 C and capacity retention of 81.1 % over 200 cycles. This work presents a facile and effective strategy to suppress structural degradation in O3-type layered cathodes materials of high-performance SIBs.

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
