This study presents the development of a novel Cu–Co–O-codoped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) catalyst for efficient peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation to degrade sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in aqueous environments. The synthesized Cu–Co–O-g-C3N4catalyst demonstrated exceptional catalytic performance, achieving 90% SMX removal within 10 min—significantly outperforming pristine g-C3N4(14%) and O-doped g-C3N4(22%)—with a reaction rate constant of 0.63 min−1. The superior activity was attributed to the synergistic effects of Cu-Co bimetallic doping and oxygen incorporation, which enhanced the active sites, stabilized metal ions, and minimized leaching. Mechanistic studies revealed a dual-pathway degradation process: (1) a radical pathway dominated by sulfate radicals (SO4•−) and (2) a non-radical pathway driven by singlet oxygen (1O2), with the latter identified as the dominant species through quenching experiments. The catalyst exhibited broad pH adaptability and optimal performance at neutral to alkaline conditions. Characterization techniques (XRD, FTIR, XPS) confirmed successful doping and revealed that oxygen incorporation modified the electronic structure of g-C3N4, improving charge carrier separation. This work provides a sustainable strategy for antibiotic removal, addressing key challenges in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), and highlights the potential of multi-heteroatom-doped carbon nitride catalysts for water purification.

Nitrite is a common harmful ion found in water and food, and its excessive intake poses significant risks to human health. Accordingly, devising a detection strategy for nitrite that is fast, highly responsive, durable, and ecologically sustainable holds significant importance. In this study, a surface-modified Fe/Cu bimetal-doped Co 3 O 4 catalyst was successfully synthesized, and its 1 wt% aqueous dispersion was drop-cast onto carbon cloth (CC) to fabricate a binder-free flexible electrode (KH792@(C)Fe/Cu–Co 3 O 4 CC) for electrochemical sensing of nitrite. This electrode demonstrated remarkable electrocatalytic activity toward NO 2 − in phosphate buffer solution (0.1 M PBS, pH 7.4), offering a broad linear detection range (6.65 μM–5.0 mM), an exceptionally rapid response time (0.1 s), as well as a low detection limit of 6.65 μM, demonstrating both its high sensitivity and practical applicability. This enhanced performance is largely credited to the cooperative effect between KH792 functional organic units and the Fe/Cu–Co 3 O 4 composite oxide framework. On one hand, the introduction of organic molecules enhances the electrode's electron transfer capability and surface hydrophilicity. On the other hand, the dual-metal doping induces a high density of surface defects and oxygen vacancies, enhancing the density of active sites and facilitating both the adsorption and electron transport processes of nitrite. Moreover, the catalyst was successfully applied to commercial disposable screen-printed electrodes, which were compatible with portable electrochemical workstations, underscoring its potential for low-cost and on-site nitrite detection.

Photocatalytic water splitting is a highly promising approach for sustainable hydrogen production. However, a critical challenge lies in developing photocatalysts that simultaneously achieve efficient charge separation and abundant catalytic active sites. Herein, a novel heterojunction system composed of ZnIn 2 S 4 integrated with copper-modified UiO-66-NH 2 (ZnIn 2 S 4 /Cu-UiO-66-NH 2 ) is developed as an efficient photocatalyst for hydrogen production. The optimal ZnIn 2 S 4 /Cu-UiO-66-NH 2 exhibits a hydrogen evolution rate of 630.25 μmol g −1 h −1 under visible-light irradiation, demonstrating a remarkable 114-fold enhancement compared to pristine UiO-66-NH 2 . The excellent photocatalytic performance originates from the novel Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism between ZnIn 2 S 4 and Cu-UiO-66-NH 2 , which facilitates efficient charge separation while maintaining strong redox capabilities. Furthermore, the incorporated Cu species serve as highly efficient active sites for hydrogen evolution. This work provides a rational design strategy for constructing Z-scheme heterojunctions, advancing the development of efficient artificial photosynthesis systems for sustainable energy applications.

The development of adsorbents to remove heavy metal ions from water with high adsorption capacity and recyclable performances has always been the focus and challenge of current research. A new type of high-efficiency heavy-metal adsorbent, (graphene oxide/carboxymethyl cellulose)-acrylamide (GO/CMC-AM) was prepared in this paper. The adsorbent was prepared through graft copolymerisation by aqueous solution polymerisation. The results showed that CMC, AM, and GO are successfully grafted to form a three-dimensional network structure. The adsorption kinetic followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the isotherm adsorption curve was highly consistent with the Langmuir model. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of (GO/CMC)-AM for Cu (II) reached 289.7 mg/g. After 5 adsorption cycles, the removal rate of Cu (II) still remains as high as 75.1%. Overall, (GO/CMC)-AM exhibits rapid, efficient, and stable adsorption performance, highlighting its broad application potential in treating heavy-metal wastewater.

Doping and interface engineering are both pivotal strategies for enhancing the selectivity of CO 2 reduction catalysts. However, as these strategies have often been explored independently, the question of which is more effective or whether their effects can be synergistically combined remains open. Given that doping and interfaces serve as crystallographic defects, they can be engineered to coexist within the same crystal structure. In this study, we strategically introduced both defects into a copper catalyst by modulating the indium content during crystal growth. Our investigation into the electrochemical performance of these catalysts for CO conversion reveals that while doping consistently enhances conversion selectivity, the presence of Cu/In interfaces disrupts this trend. The most promising catalyst, with 3% indium doping, demonstrated an impressive CO selectivity of 95.38±1.5% and a partial current density of -2.25 mA cm - ² at -0.8 V vs. Reversible Hydrogen Electrode (RHE). This research provides critical insights into the complex interplay between doping and interface engineering, offering a new pathway for the rational design of highly selective CO 2 reduction catalysts.

Although the low molecular weight poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenyl oxide) (LMW-PPO) has been extensively applied in the field of 5G communication, the complicated procedures involved in the synthesis of LMW-PPO and efficient recovery of the homogeneous catalysts are still challenging nowadays. In this study, five ionic liquids (ILs) have been successfully synthesized, and LWM-PPO is directly synthesized using different Cu(OAc) 2 -ILs complexes as catalysts. Among them, Cu(OAc) 2 - IL(a) not only exhibits the high yield of LWM-PPO (83.68%, M n =3.6✕10 3 ) with the low 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethyl-4,4’-diphenoquinone (DPQ) yield (0.12%) and polydispersity index (PDI, 1.39) in methanol, but also maintains high stability after being recycled for 5 times. In addition, with increasing H 2 O contents in the system from 1.0% to 5.0%, the M n values of PPO decrease from 2.9✕10 3 to 2.4✕10 3 with the narrow PDI values in the range of 1.22-1.45, indicating that trace H 2 O effectively promotes the formation of binuclear Cu(II) complex between Cu(OAc) 2 ·H 2 O and ILs, which then polymerizes 2,6-dimethylphenol (DMP) to LMW-PPO. The synthesized LMW-PPO exhibits high thermostability ( T d5% =427.07-430.52°C), low glass transition temperature ( T g =167.6-180.3°C), and low dielectric constant ( D k =2.14-2.64, 1 GHz) and dielectric loss ( D f =2.83✕10 -3 -4.91✕10 -3 , 1 GHZ), indicating that it is more appropriate to be used in the field of 5G communication. This study provides new insight on the importance of ILs in direct synthesis of LMW-PPO with high performances.

Herein, we explore the development of three copper(II) Schiff base complexes (Cu-SBC, C1 - C3 ) aimed at inhibiting urease (UA), achieved through the thoughtful design of ligands. By integrating a fluorinated Schiff base ligand (SBL) with auxiliary ligands—namely, 2-methylimidazole, 2-ethylimidazole, and 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine—this research systematically examines the impact of steric factors on the inhibition of the UA enzyme. The synthesized complexes underwent comprehensive characterization, including crystallographic analysis. The three synthesized Cu(II) complexes exhibit two distinct coordination geometries dictated by their auxiliary ligands. C1 and C2 display four-coordinate distorted square planar geometries, while C3 adopts a five-coordinate distorted square pyramidal configuration. The biological evaluation revealed that C1 demonstrated a markedly enhanced UA inhibitory activity compared to the standard reference acetohydroxamic acid (IC 50 : 6.12 ± 0.44 vs. 27.73 ± 2.93 μM). Computational methodologies were employed to complement the experimental investigations, elucidating the molecular underpinnings of the observed activity disparities among the complexes. Consequently, the structure-activity relationship analysis indicates that steric hindrance is crucial in modulating the UA inhibitory activity, providing important perspectives for the development of new UA inhibitors and their potential uses in biomedicine.

To fulfill the requirements for dependable low-temperature soldering of high-temperature lead-free materials and to inhibit the transformation of Cu 6 Sn 5 to Cu 3 Sn during transient liquid phase diffusion bonding (TLPB) and aging processes, along with minimizing joint porosity, Cu particles were initially coated with a Ni layer through electroless plating, followed by Sn layer deposition via stannous sulfamate electroplating to achieve Cu@Ni@Sn core-shell structured powder. The study explored the oxidation resistance of Cu@Ni@Sn powder and examined the formation rate and activation energy of Cu 3 Sn in both Cu@Sn and Cu@Ni@Sn TLPB joints, clarifying the Ni coating’s role in restricting element migration and phase transformation. The Cu@Ni@Sn TLPB joint displayed a three-dimensional network of intermetallic compounds enveloping Cu particles. This joint demonstrated thermal endurance of at least 400 °C, room temperature shear strength exceeding 80 MPa, and shear strength of no less than 28 MPa after aging at 250 °C for 336 h, representing a 20% improvement compared to the Cu@Sn system. Joint porosity was lowered from 10% in the Cu@Sn system to 5% in the Cu@Ni@Sn system, surpassing both high-lead and nano-sintered Ag systems. The findings illustrate that the introduction of a Ni coating successfully restricted Cu diffusion, suppressed Cu 6 Sn 5 phase transformation, decreased void formation, and improved the high-temperature oxidation resistance of Cu@Ni@Sn powder. After undergoing reflow at 250 °C, the Cu@Ni@Sn joint exhibited thermal conductivity of 156 W/m·K and electrical resistivity of 4.2 μΩ·cm, surpassing those observed in the Cu@Sn system, Cu 6 Sn 5 , and Cu 3 Sn. These results imply that Cu@Ni@Sn TLPB joints fulfill the criteria for high-performance interconnections, presenting a viable replacement for high-lead and sintered nano-Ag soldering materials, making them a favorable candidate for high-temperature, high-reliability interconnect applications in power modules.

Recycling Li, P and Fe from cathodes of spent LiFePO 4 batteries plays a significant role in mitigation of Li resources shortage, as well as environmental protection. In this study, black mass from spent LiFePO 4 batteries were subjected to roasting at 600 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere to inhibit the oxidation of Fe 2+ . Then, Li, Fe and P in the black mass were successfully leached into the solution under optimal conditions (2 mol/L H 2 SO 4 , liquid to solid ratio of 10:1, temperature of 35℃, 300r/min stirring for 120 min), that achieved the initial separation of these elements from graphite and part of Al. Subsequently, a two-stage precipitation process, consisting of a cementation reaction followed by pH value adjustment, was employed to sequentially remove Cu and Al from the leaching solution. The total separation efficiencies for Cu and Al achieved 99.93 % and 95.37 % (based on contents of black mass), respectively. After separation of Cu and Al, 96.03 % of Li and 83.69 % of P present in the black mass were successfully recovered in the forms of Li 2 CO 3 and FePO 4 , respectively. The strategy developed herein provides valuable guidance for the resource utilization of P, Fe and Li, demonstrating promising potential for industrial-scale applications.

Purpose Development of Ce/Cu-modified black ceramics and investigation of the mechanism of anti-osteosarcoma activity. Methods Black ceramics doped with 0.3–0.7 wt% CeO 2 and CuO were prepared and analyzed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), compression stress-strain tests, weight change, and antibacterial assays. MNNG/HOS and MG63 cells were seeded on ceramic substrates, and their adhesion and morphology were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and phalloidin staining. In vitro, we first assessed the anti-tumor effects of ceramic materials, then validated their impact on cuproptosis by measuring Cu 2+ levels and the expression of related proteins, including SLC31A1, HSP70, and ATP7A. Mitochondrial dysfunction and TCA abnormalities were assessed by measuring mitochondrial membrane potential, reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial structure, TCA cycle metabolites (citric acid and lactic acid), ATP levels, and DLAT and LIAS protein levels. The cuproptosis inhibitor TTM, PI3K activator 740Y P, and AKT activator SC79 were used to explore the relationship between cuproptosis and the PI3K/AKT pathway in osteosarcoma cells treated with Ce/Cu-doped black ceramics. Results Our research confirmed the superior anti-tumor properties of the Ce/Cu-modified black ceramic and its potential mechanisms against osteosarcoma. The Ce/Cu-doped black ceramic caused mitochondrial dysfunction and disrupted TCA cycle metabolism, resulting in cuproptosis in MNNG/HOS and MG63 cells. The PI3K/AKT pathway was involved in cuproptosis in osteosarcoma cells treated with Ce/Cu-modified ceramics. Conclusion Our research confirmed that Ce/Cu-modified black ceramics have superior anti-tumor effects and potential mechanisms, confirming the clinical potential of Ce/Cu-modified black ceramics in cancer treatment and providing theoretical basis for the clinical translation.

The high-temperature poling strategy (110 °C, 30 kV/cm, 20 min) was imposed on Cu-doped (Ba 0.94 Ca 0.06 )(Zr 0.05 Ti 0.95 )O 3 ceramics which had the Curie temperature of 117 °C, to enhance the piezoelectric performances. The high-temperature poled piezoelectric constants d 33 and electromechanical coupling factors k p were 410 pC/N and 0.516, which were enhanced by 17.1% and 15.4%, respectively, higher than that of traditional poled ones. Effects of high-temperature poling on the switching characteristic between non-180° and 180° domains were verified by the intensity ratio of splitting peaks at 2 θ around 45°, using the X-ray diffraction analysis. The high-temperature poled samples showed more asymmetric hysteresis loops, with higher internal bias field of 1.8 kV/cm, maximum polarization of 18.5 μC/cm 2 , and residual polarization of 10.7 μC/cm 2 , but lower coercive field of 2.5 kV/cm and smaller positive hysteresis of 1.3%. The high-field piezoelectric constant d 33 * showed a pronounced jump of 112.2 pm/V at 110 °C, confirming the optimal poling temperature. The stronger compensating defect dipole field mainly contributed to the asymmetry. And the tiny and easily reversible domains, observed by the in-situ piezoelectric force microscopy, were responsible to the improvement on piezoelectricity.

Graphical Cu-modified monoclinic TiO 2 nanoflowers with OVs (Cu 1 TB-1.5) promote the reactivity and selectivity of CO 2 reduction to CO under visible light. CO selectivity is 99.6%, and the cycling stability is excellent. The Cu 1 TB-1.5 facilitates the formation of the intermediate COOH* during the photocatalytic process, thus improving the yield and selectivity of CO. The photoreduction of CO 2 has attracted extensive attention as a promising solution to global warming. In this study, Cu-modified TiO 2 (B) (CuTB) nanoflowers with oxygen vacancies (OVs) are designed and synthesized via hydrothermal treatment and photodeposition to promote the reactivity and selectivity of CO 2 reduction to CO under visible light. The CO and CH 4 yields of sample Cu 1 TB-1.5 under visible light are 5.72 and 0.02 μmol g −1 h −1 , wherein the CO yield was 15.5 times that of sample TB; its selectivity is 99.6%, and the cycling stability is excellent. OVs can broaden the light absorption of TB to the visible light region, and Cu promotes photoinduced electron transfer from TB to the Cu species and act as an active center. The OVs and Cu can synergistically enhance charge separation, CO 2 adsorption, and CO 2 conversion. The Cu 1 TB-1.5 facilitates the formation of the intermediate COOH* during the photocatalytic process, thus improving the yield and selectivity of CO. This research provides a unique idea for the development of novel highly selective photocatalysts.
