This study employed a wet impregnation method to synthesize five types of Cu/HZSM-5 adsorbents with Si/Al ratios of 25, 50, 85, 200, and 300, used for the removal of H 2 S in low-temperature, low-oxygen environments. The impact of different Si/Al ratios on the adsorption oxidative performance of Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 adsorbents was investigated. According to the performance test results, Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 exhibited the highest breakthrough capacity, reaching 231.75 mg H 2 S/g sorbent . Cu/HZSM-5 sorbent maintains a strong ability to remove H 2 S even under humid conditions and shows excellent water resistance. XRD , BET, and XPS results revealed that CuO is the primary active species, with Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 having the largest surface area and highest CuO content, providing more active sites for H 2 S adsorption. H 2 -TPR and O 2 -TPD results confirmed that Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 sorbent exhibits outstanding redox properties and oxygen storage capacity, contributing to excellent oxygen transferability in the molecular sieve adsorption-oxidation process. With notable characteristics such as a large surface area, high desulfurization efficiency, and water resistance, Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 sorbents hold significant importance for industrial applications.

Dexamethasone, a potent synthetic glucocorticoid, is widely used for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. However, its misuse as a performance-enhancing drug in sports has raised concerns among regulatory authorities. To address this issue, an electrochemical sensor based on Fe 3 O 4 /polyaniline (PANI)-Cu(II) microspheres and hematite nanoparticles was developed for the sensitive and selective detection of dexamethasone. The sensor exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of dexamethasone due to the synergistic effect of the high conductivity and large surface area of the Fe 3 O 4 /PANI composite microspheres, the electrocatalytic properties of the loaded copper(II) ions, and the enhanced electron transfer of the hematite nanoparticles. Under optimized conditions, the sensor showed a wide linear range of 0.05–50 μM, with a detection limit of 0.015 μM. The sensor also demonstrated good selectivity, reproducibility (RSD = 3.2 %, n = 5), and long-term stability (92 % retention after 4 weeks). Furthermore, the sensor was successfully applied for the determination of dexamethasone in spiked human serum and urine samples, with recoveries ranging from 97.5 % to 103.5 % and RSDs less than 3.5 %.

Cu-based catalysts, especially co-sites of Cu 0 and Cu Ⅰ , are the best competitors for electrochemical CO 2 fixation to produce multi-carbon (C2 + ) products. However, it is challenging to construct highly stable Cu Ⅰ sites due to the changeability of its valence state and electronic structure in the electroreduction process, and the mechanism is also elusive. Herein, a 2D conductive Cu Ⅱ -MOF film (Cu Ⅱ HHTP@Cu 0 ) is prepared on Cu (1 0 0) foil by in-situ electrochemical assembly. After pre-reduction, the in-situ produced Cu 2 O clusters are confined in the cavities of the film created by the local breaking of the MOF framework to construct a unique Cu Ⅰ -Cu Ⅱ HHTP@Cu 0 catalyst, so that a novel strategy is proposed to stablize highly dispersed Cu Ⅰ sites during electrochemical reduction, thus protecting the Cu 2 O clusters from further reduction and ensuring the coexistence of Cu Ⅰ (1 1 1)-Cu 0 (1 0 0) sites. As such, the current density of CO 2 electrochemical reduction catalyzed by this catalyst exceeds 300 mA cm −2 , the duration overs 50 h, and the C2 selectivity achieves 72.6 %. In-situ spectroscopy and theoretical calculations reveal that the optimized microenvironment of the Cu Ⅰ (1 1 1) sites reduces the energy barrier of *OCCOH coupling, and Cu 0 (1 0 0) sites increase the coverage of *CO, thus boosting the production of C2 products.

Bacterial infections considerably limit the success of scaffold transplantation. CuO 2 may generate hydroxyl radicals through a self-cascade catalytic process, which is effective for sterilization. However, reducing CuO 2 -derived Cu + ions to Cu° can lead to a decline in catalytic activity. To overcome these limitations, we anchored CuO 2 onto MoS 2 to establish stable Cu-S-Mo interfacial sites. The CuO 2 /MoS 2 nanozyme was fabricated using a low-temperature co-precipitation technique and introduced into poly- l -lactic acid scaffolds using selective laser sintering. The Cu-S-Mo interfacial sites showed a triad of functions that synergistically enhanced catalytic performance. These sites stabilized the Cu atoms, augmented catalytic activity by facilitating efficient electron transfer through the Mo 4+ /Mo 6+ redox couple, and improved the conduction of heat derived from the photothermal response of MoS 2 to the Cu catalyst. The synergistic action of chemodynamic and photothermal therapy, mediated by the Cu-S-Mo sites, resulted in remarkable antibacterial efficacy, with 92.3 % and 93.5 % inhibition rates against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli , respectively. Experimental evidence and simulations demonstrated that Cu-S-Mo structure stabilized the Cu atoms and improved electron transfer via interatomic charge transfer. These results highlight the potential of the CuO 2 @MoS 2 /PLLA scaffold in eliminating bacterial infections.

In this study, the carbon-doped bimetallic organic framework C 60 /MIL-101(Fe,Cu) catalyst was prepared for the first time via solvothermal synthesis method. The catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and a series of other instruments. At the same time, methylene blue (MB) was used as the target degradation material to investigate the catalytic performance of H 2 O 2 for MB degradation under visible light. The degradation experiment showed that the removal rate of C 60 /MIL-101(Fe,Cu) to MB reached 99.2% within 80 min. Furthermore, cyclic experiments demonstrated good stability and reusability of the catalyst. Finally, the degradation mechanism of the reaction was deduced by quenching experiment, UV–vis diffuse reflection and mott-Schottky plots. The results show that hydroxyl radical (·OH) and superoxide radical (·O 2 − ) play a major role in the degradation of MB during photo-Fenton process.

Aqueous-phase reforming of methanol (APRM) is an important method for H 2 production, widely used in energy fields like polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). However, traditional noble metal catalysts , being expensive and vulnerable to CO poisoning, restrict their practical application. Therefore, developing robust non-noble metal catalysts for efficient and sustainable H 2 production with low CO levels in APRM at low temperatures is highly significant. In this study, a novel approach was employed to synthesize carbon-encapsulated Cu catalyst via controlled pyrolysis , leading to Cu@CA-Val catalyst with excellent low-temperature catalytic activity. The optimal Cu@CA-Val-300 catalyst exhibited a high hydrogen production rate of 0.2–27.0 μmolH 2 /g cat /s over a wide temperature of 135–180 °C (base-free), surpassing the most Cu-based and Pt-based catalysts. The Cu@CA-Val-300 catalyst exhibited exceptional hydrothermal stability during continuous operation in a fixed reactor for 200 h. Efficient H 2 production was attributed to good wettability , enabling the diffusion of CH 3 OH and H 2 O molecules into Cu + /Cu 0 sites for activation, with CO being suppressed and transformed through the formate formation.

In this work, Cu-based metal-organic framework material (Cu-MOF) was combined with an electric field to construct a three-dimensional electrocatalytic synergistic activation of peroxymonosulfate sulfate (PMS) system (3D/Cu-MOF/EC/PMS) for the degradation of norfloxacin (NOR). The results show that the synergistic degradation efficiency of the Cu-MOF material with the electric field is enhanced by nearly 64 % relative to the degradation efficiency of the two alone. The quenching experimental and EPR characterization indicates that ROS plays an important role in the degradation process, with O 2 – playing a dominant role. Finally, the degradation pathway of NOR was explored by DFT study and LC-MS tests, and the toxicity evaluation software (TEST) and CCK-8 cytotoxicity experimental studies demonstrated that the sewage after the degradation of NOR by this system would have little or no effect on human liver cells (L02). This study not only shows that the 3D/Cu-MOF/EC/PMS system can treat the water containing higher concentrations of NOR into a state that is not harmful to the human body but also provides a new idea for the improvement of catalysts that do not have obvious catalytic degradation effects.

Biogas slurry, an inevitable outcome of anaerobic digestion (AD), is a treatment burden for urban environmental management. In this study, two kinds of biogas slurry (slurry J and slurry C), collected from the AD plants in Japan and China, were treated using novel TiZrO 4 @Cu and TiZrO 4 @Cu@SiO 2 multilayered hollow spheres containing Cu sub-nanoclusters as the catalyst. The results showed that the chemical oxygen demand (COD) was removed by 63 % for slurry J and 44 % for slurry C after 5 h. The Cu sub-nanoclusters acted as co-catalysts and active centers, facilitating rapid electron transfer to oxygen molecules and forming highly reactive •O 2 − and •OH species (Use slurry J as the based solution). These free radicals cleaved the interconnecting bonds between benzene rings, disintegrated the ring structure, formed intermediate compounds such as n-hexylic acid, and ultimately mineralized organic pollutants in biogas slurry into CO 2 and H 2 O. At the same time, TiZrO 4 @Cu@SiO 2 had excellent stability due to the protection of the SiO 2 shell and reduced threefold Cu leaching than TiZrO 4 @Cu. The COD removal rate was always 60 % in six cycles in the slurry J. The new catalyst ensured the high performance of catalytic air oxidation at low temperatures, which has significant potential as an environmentally friendly and energy-saving method for organic wastewater treatment.

The development of advanced electrocatalysts with exceptional performance at high current densities is pivotal for reducing electric energy consumption in industrial water splitting for hydrogen production. Herein, a flexible one-step electrodeposition approach is developed to synthesize superhydrophilic 3D flower-like clusters of Cu–Co–P nanosheets grown in situ on nickel foam (NF). Introducing Cu into Co–P causes strong electron interactions, forming an electronic configuration favorable for the adsorption and desorption of intermediates, which significantly improves the intrinsic catalytic activity. The as-deposited Cu–Co–P/NF display notable bifunctional catalytic activity with low overpotentials of 259 and 65 mV for the oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions, respectively, at 10 mA cm −2 . Superwetting 3D flower-like nanostructures are conducive to the penetration of electrolytes and the rapid release of bubbles, enabling the efficient utilization of active sites and the timely release of bubble stress under high current densities. An assembled Cu–Co–P/NF(+, −) electrolyzer achieves an impressive voltage of 1.85 V at 500 mA cm −2 for water splitting and appreciable stability for over 220 h under simulated industrial conditions. This work offers an attractive strategy for regulating superaerophobic Co–P electrocatalysts for industrial water splitting, which can contribute to practical applications.

Magnetic relaxation switching (MRS) biosensors have been recognized as useful analytical tools for a range of targets; however, traditional MRS biosensors are limited by the “prozone effect”, resulting in a narrow linear range and low sensitivity. Herein, we proposed a paramagnetic Cu 2+ -induced magnetic resonance tuning (MRET) strategy, based on which Cu 2+ ions and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were adopted to construct a Cu–MNP-mediated MRS (Cu–M-MRS) immunosensor with Cu 2+ ions acting as a quencher and MNPs as an enhancer. An Fe 3 O 4 @polydopamine-secondary antibody conjugate was prepared and used to correlate the amount of Cu 2+ ions to the target concentration through an immunoassay. Based on the immunoreaction, the Cu–M-MRS immunosensor enabled the sensitive detection of chlorpyrifos (0.05 ng/mL, a 77-fold enhancement in sensitivity compared with the traditional MRS immunosensor) and Salmonella (50 CFU/mL). The proposed MRET strategy effectively improved the sensitivity and accuracy of the MRS immunosensor, offering a promising and versatile platform for food safety detection.

The ultra-deep removal of thiophene from coke oven gas (COG) is critical for the conversion of COG to methane. Currently, Cu/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 is considered as a promising sorbent for thiophene removal; however, its desulfurization performance is currently unable to meet the requirements for industrial applications. Here, a zirconium modification strategy is proposed to overcome this problem, allowing zirconium loaded copper-based sorbents (Cu/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 /ZrO 2 ) with significantly improved thiophene removal performance and high activity to be obtained. Characterization results showed that zirconium improved both the dispersion of copper and the concentration of Lewis acid sites on the sorbent surface. A ZrO 2 concentration of 2 % resulted in stronger Cu-Zn interaction, and the dispersion of Cu on the surface of the sorbent reached its maximum value (49.20 %). Additionally, the Lewis acid strength was also maximized, which greatly improved the desulfurization activity and resulted in a breakthrough adsorption capacity of thiophene (Q b-thiophene ) of 36.24 mg/g, which was about 17 % higher than that of the unmodified Cu/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 sorbent. These results demonstrate that the sulfur capacity of the sorbent can be increased by increasing the number of acidic sites on its surface, paving the way for ultra-deep thiophene removal in industrial applications.

P-type semiconductors [copper oxide (CuO) and cuprous oxide (Cu2O)] have been widely researched as good gas sensing materials due to their unique oxygen adsorption properties. In this work, C-doped CuO/Cu2O hollow nano-octahedrons have been prepared by thermal decomposition of the Cu-based metal–organic framework ([Cu3(BTC)2]n). The CuO and Cu2O nanoparticles form nano-octahedron heterojunctions by a close packing mode. A large number of active heterojunction sites were exposed, which significantly increased the adsorbed oxygen (O2–) content. Meanwhile, doping C in the lattice of the heterojunction effectively reduces the band gap of CuO/Cu2O and promotes the chemical reaction of the target gas on the surface of the material. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the CuO/Cu2O heterojunction has strong adsorption ability for NO2. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy further reveals that C-doped CuO/Cu2O hollow nano-octahedrons-40 min heterojunction has the best electron transport performance. The sensors have good gas sensing response (22.88–50 ppm) and selectivity to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) at room temperature (28 °C). In addition, the sensor has extremely low detection, which can detect parts per billion level NO2 (20.50% to 100 ppb). It is expected to provide a reference for the development of a room-temperature NO2 sensor.
