A highly sensitive and selective sensor for the quantitative assay of inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) activity was developed based on a fluorescence “turn–off” strategy. Carbon quantum dots@Cu(II)-based metal–organic framework nanotubes (CQDs@Cu-MOF) with length less than 300 nm and width less than 20 nm were synthesized. CQDs in the nanotubes exhibited weak fluorescence owing to static quenching. The coordination reaction between pyrophosphate ion (PPi) and Cu(II) decomposed CQDs@Cu-MOF and led to the release of CQDs, of which the fluorescence recovered. In the presence of PPase, the hydrolysis of PPi generated phosphate ion (Pi). CQDs@Cu-MOF remained their structural stability and the fluorescence turned off. The fluorescence intensity difference of the mixture of CQDs@Cu-MOF and PPi in the absence and presence of PPase (-Δ F ) was proportional to the PPase concentration from 0.1 to 5 mU mL −1 and that from 5 to 50 mU mL −1 , and a limit of detection at 0.03 mU mL −1 was obtained. PPase activity in human serum was analyzed using the proposed fluorescence sensor and the recovery values were found to vary from 95.0% to 104 %.

The increasing need for water decontamination under high salinity conditions calls for alternative processes with high efficiency and cost-effective performance, of which electrochemical technologies hold continuous attraction. Compared to several studies under chloride background, contaminant degradation in high sulfate concentrations using electrochemical methods has rarely been studied. In this study, a facile and cost-effective TiO2 nanotube (NT) electrode, coated with a PbO2 layer was fabricated to serve as an anode to degrade the selected contaminant under the condition of high sulfate concentration. 100% removal of 0.05 mM 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) was achieved within 50 minutes at a relatively low current density. Degradation of 2,4-DCP followed pseudo-first-order kinetics in the electrochemical system, and the parameter of current density was proved to have the biggest effect on the pollutant removal performance compared to pH and salt concentrations. The mechanism of 2,4-DCP degradation followed the radical and direct electron transfer (DET) pathways. Even though the sulfate radical was generated in water containing high sulfate, the theoretical energy barrier calculated from density functional theory (DFT) simulation indicates the priority of hydroxyl radical on pollutant degradation, and the comparison of reaction energy based on experiments and DFT also suggested that the sulfate radical is more prone to act as a precursor for more hydroxyl radical formation. The degradation performance under various salt conditions was also investigated in this study. High content of chloride in water resulted in extremely fast removal performance, while high content of nitrate in water resulted in the apparent inhibition of pollutant removal. The as-made electrodes exhibited excellent performance for the degradation of different contaminants and reliable stability after rounds of use. This study provides an insight into the application of an electrochemical oxidation system in high salinity wastewater treatment.

The reactive adsorption desulfurization mechanism of thiophene over Cu/ZnO sorbent in coke oven gas (COG) was established by a combination of theoretical and experimental study. The adsorption behavior of thiophene on Cu surface was studied by density functional theory (DFT) method. The C 4 hydrocarbons releases and sulfur migration over Cu/ZnO sorbent during the thiophene removal process were investigated by comparing with that over CuO, ZnO and CuO+ZnO (prepared by mechanical grinding of CuO and ZnO) sorbents. The results show that the parallel adsorption of thiophene on hexagonal closest packing (HCP) site of Cu (1 1 1) crystal face is the optimal adsorption mode. Cu 0 nanoparticles in Cu/ZnO sorbent have two important roles: (1) adsorb and dissociate H 2 , and (2) cleave the C–S bond of thiophene. The sulfur after the cleavage of C–S bond could transfer directly to ZnO and eventually be converted into ZnS without the intermediate product CuS. During thiophene removal, C 4 H 6 and C 4 H 10 are generated over Cu/ZnO sorbent in the presence of H 2 . ZnO in Cu/ZnO sorbent not only acts as an excellent sulfur accepter, but can greatly affect the adsorption properties by enhancing the spillover and storage of hydrogen atoms . Increasing the interaction between Cu 0 nanoparticles and ZnO to enhance hydrogen spillover is an effective way to improve the thiophene reactive adsorption activity of Cu/ZnO.

The recyclability of heterogeneous catalysts directly affects their utilization efficiency, use cost, sustainability, and environmental issues. Herein, the flower-like ZnO-Cu nanoparticles with high interfacial reactivity were in-situ synthesized in the porous cellulose gel to obtain the ZnO-Cu/cellulose composite gel (ZnO-Cu/CCG) catalyst, which possesses superior recycling and reusing stability thanks to the bulk nature of the gel. The ZnO-Cu/CCG catalysts with tunable sheet-like and flower-like ZnO were fabricated by the dissolution of cellulose into zinc chloride (ZnCl 2 ) solvent and regeneration using different coagulating baths (water, ethanol, or isopropanol). The CCG prepared from isopropanol coagulation exhibited the highest specific surface area (291.6 m 2 /g) and porosity (92.3%). The various network structures of CCG provided different nucleation sites and growing spaces for controllable preparation of ZnO with tunable morphology. The complete removal of methyl orange (MO), Congo red (CR), and methylene blue (MB) required only 80 sec, 3 min, and 5 min, using flower-like ZnO-Cu/CCG catalysts prepared by isopropanol coagulating bath, the pseudo-first-order rate constant (k) is 2.8170 min −1 , 1.1330 min −1 , and 0.8506 min −1 , respectively, much higher than that of the ZnO-Cu powders. Furthermore, the catalytic reusability of ZnO-Cu/CCG can be investigated over 50 successive cycles, in which the catalytic efficiency did not decrease appreciably.

Diclofenac (DCF) is one kind of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), and it is imperative to develop a green and efficient method to remove it. The removal of DCF with zinc (Zn) in the presence of Cu(II) and Co(II) were investigated on the influence factors, products, and mechanism. The results showed that with the increasing of Cu(II) and Co(II) concentrations, the reactions were accelerated. The removal rate was higher with lower pH value. In all the systems, the DCF removal rate hardly changed when the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration was 0–8 mg·L −1 and increased at 20 mg·L −1 . Products analysis showed that the products were hydroxylated DCF (DCF 0 ) and an unknown product (DCF u ) in Zn system, monochlorinated DCF (DCF 1 ) in Zn/Cu(II) system, DCF 1 and dechlorinated DCF (DCF 2 ) in Zn/Co(II) system. The order of toxicity from highest to lowest was DCF, DCF 0 , DCF 1 , DCF 2 . The corrosion degree of zinc powder surface increased in the presence of Cu(II) and Co(II). After 48 h, ZnO formed in Zn system. In Zn/Cu(II) system, CuO and Cu 2 O formed in addition to ZnO. In the Zn/Co(II) system, Co 3 O 4 , ZnO and Zn(OH) 2 formed. After adding Cu(II) and Co(II), the corrosion currents increased. In Zn/Cu(II) system, DCF was dechlorinated to DCF 1 by catalytic hydrogenation. In Zn/Co(II) system, DCF was mainly dechlorinated to DCF 1 and DCF 2 by catalytic hydrogenation. This technique provides an alternative method for DCF removal and expands the application field of Zn reduction technology.

In this study, a novel bifunctional lamella self-assembled nanosheet arrays of Cu-doped NiO electrode was hydrothermally synthesized to improve and balance its electrochromic-energy storage performance. When Cu doping amount was 1%, the as-prepared nanostructured electrode exhibited both excellent electrochromic properties including large optical modulation (77.1% at 550 nm) and long stability (98.3% retention of maximum optical modulation after 4000 cycles), and good capacitive properties, especially high area specific capacitance (94.7 mF/cm 2 at 0.2 mA/cm 2 ) as well as excellent capacitance stability (100% at 50 mV/s for 2000 cycles; 80.6% retention at 0.8 mA/cm 2 for 5000 cycles). These excellent properties may benefit from the large active specific surface area and low charge transport resistance. Meanwhile, the self-assembled structure and cross-linked nanosheets optimize the structural stability of the film. Notably, an electrochromic-energy storage device (EESD) was constructed and demonstrated excellent electrochromic-energy storage performance. In charging process, two integrated EESDs in series turned into dark brown and an LED was lit up. While, in discharging process, the EESD gradually became colorless and the LED went out. This study may point out the direction for developing new visualized energy storage devices.

Asymmetrical dressings, which are composed of a compact top layer and a porous bottom layer, are commonly used to mimic the characteristics and structure of the epidermis and dermis layers, and overcome the flaws of traditional dressings such as wound dryness and bacterial penetration. Herein, a bio-inspired double-layer asymmetric wettable wound dressing was prepared by low-temperature 3D printing coupled with electrospinning technology. The hydrophobic top layer of poly(caprolactone)(PCL) film produced by electrospinning was used to simulate the compact and air-permeable epidermis. The hydrophilic bottom layer of the dressing, a scaffold composed of chitosan and copper ions doped Laponite (Cu@CS-Lap) was used to kill bacteria and speed up wound healing. Additionally, the composite dressings also showed excellent cytocompatibility and antibacterial properties in vitro experiments. The migratory area of Cu-doped group human umbilical vein endothelial cells increased by about 48.19% compared to the control group, as revealed by the results of the cell scratch experiment. Furthermore, in vivo experiments in rats showed that wound closure at the 0.5Cu@CS5-PCL dressing reached 98.24% after 12 days, indicating the enormous potential of asymmetric double dressings in boosting wound healing.

A series of conductive metal–organic frameworks (M-CATs) were synthesized using 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylas a ligand following a solvothermal method, and the Cu-CAT system exhibiting the best performance was identified. Conductive Cu-CAT-anchored reduction graphene oxide composites (Cu-CAT@rGO) were prepared following a hydrothermal method. The microstructures of the systems were further characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The drip-casting membrane method was used for the fabrication of a novel electrochemical sensor based on the conductive Cu-CAT-anchored rGO (Cu-CAT@rGO/GCE). The electrochemical performance of Cu-CAT@rGO/GCE was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry techniques. The differential pulse voltamme try technique was used for electrochemical sensing to detect the content of bisphenol A (BPA) in beverage bottles. An excellent linear detection range (0.05–100 µmol L −1 ) and a low detection limit (4.9 nmol L − 1 ; based on S/N = 3) were recorded. Therefore, this method can potentially be used to develop a new route for the detection of BPA. Graphical abstract

Cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) and cupric oxide (CuO) are widely available and low cost raw materials. Their applications as precursors for wet chemical synthesis of metallic Cu materials are greatly limited due to their insoluble in water and most organic solvents . In this work, copper superfine particles (Cu SPs) are synthesized using Cu 2 O and CuO as precursors via a heating process in monoethanoamine (MEA). Due to the strong coordinating character, Cu 2 O and CuO can be partially dissolved in MEA. The dissolved copper source is reduced by MEA at elevated temperature with the drastically releasing of NH 3 . As the dissolved copper source is reduced, more oxide will be dissolved and finally leads to the full reduction of Cu 2 O and CuO to produce the Cu SPs. The advantage of this synthesis method is that MEA acts as both the solvent and the reducing agent. The antimicrobial properties are investigated to find that the obtained Cu SPs depress the growth of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (St. aureus) efficiently. More interesting, the composites produced via curing Cu 2 O and CuO with a small amount of MEA also exhibit excellent antimicrobial activity, indicating the MEA curing method is high-efficiency. The synthesis is low cost, high-efficiency, high atom-economy and up-scale synthesizing easily, which will benefit the wide applications of Cu SPs.

The stability, repeatability and sensitivity of an electrochemical biosensor material are closely connected with the dispersibility of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) in aqueous media. Herein, a nanocomposite based on Cu–MOF/hemin, which is not only highly water-soluble but also simple and efficient in synthesis, was used for the construction of a non-enzymatic sensor to detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The Cu–MOF/hemin was characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS)-mapping, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), which indicate that hemin and the Cu–MOF were successfully combined. As a H2O2 electrochemical biomimetic enzyme, the Cu–MOF/hemin exhibited excellent electrocatalytic performance, which was confirmed by the electrochemical experiments and chromogenic reactions, and the possible mechanism of the reactions has been deduced. The electrochemical sensor based on the biomimetic enzyme exhibited an extended linear detection range from 0.01–5.0 mM (R = 0.998), low detection limit of 4.14 μM, and high selectivity and stability under the optimized conditions. More importantly, the practical application ability of the sensor was verified by the test of H2O2 in human serum samples and it could be used for the real-time detection of H2O2 released from living cells with satisfactory results. Therefore, this novel nanocomposite has certain potential in preparing electrochemical sensing platforms for nonenzymatic biosensing and provides a new method for clinical diagnosis and real-time monitoring.

The adsorption desulfurization (ADS) is a promising technology for deep removing thiophene-type sulfurs, yet it remains challenges in maintaining good performance for real applications in the presence of water. Guided by theoretical calculations, we constructed hydrophobic selective channels by crosslinking porous aromatic framework (PAF) of PAF-56 on the surface of adsorbent MOF-199 with Cu nodes reduced. The optimized Cu(I)-BTC@PAF30 shows a high saturated dibenzothiophenes (DBT) adsorption capacity of 61.7 mgS g −1 from the dehydrated model oil. Attributed to the good DBT-affinity (with binding energy (BE) of −90.52 KJ mol −1 ) and water-repulsion (with BE of −14.72 KJ mol −1 ), PAF-56 coating layer significantly improves the hydrophobicity , and keeps the DBT adsorption capacity as high as 50.8 mgS g −1 in the presence of 0.5% (v/v) water, the decline of 17.6% was much smaller than the dramatical 70.9% decrease in pristine Cu(I)-BTC. More importantly, it effectively prevents Cu(I) nodes from the oxidation , and exhibits a superior stable cyclic performance with the removal efficiency above 91% after 20 cycles. Therefore, Cu(I)-BTC@PAF30 can be a good representative of this surface modification strategy to achieve promising application in industrial ADS.
