The release of pollutants from bacterial pathogens in air or water, which causes a serious threat to human health and well-being. Traditional antibiotics have exhibited insufficient ability in combating bacteria owing to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria. Hence, effective antibacterial candidates urgently need to be explored as an alternative for overcoming the antibiotic barrier. It is highly necessary to find an effective stable disinfection system with the nature of environmental-friendly, high activity and stability, convenient synthesis procedure, low energy, cleaner, and low economic consumption. Considering these aspects, optical strategy and chemical treatment bring convenience and advantages in bacterial inactivation. In this work, the bimetallic Cu–Bi alloy was explored using a simple one-pot solvothermal strategy. On the one hand, the bimetallic structure can prevent copper from oxidation to decrease potential secondary pollution activity caused by excessive release of copper ions , and maintain copper's highly biological activity . On the other hand, the as-prepared Cu–Bi alloy was employed to perform antibacterial applications. Hyperthermia is driven by near-infrared light and the introduction of ROS from Cu Fenton-like reaction that can effectively promote the death of bacteria, and perform a better antibacterial ability than that of single Ag + or Cu 2+ release, resulting in the significant growth inhibition of E. coli . Overall, the combination of the multiple disinfection ability of the Cu–Bi alloy, involving highly efficient ROS generation and effective photothermal performance, not only shows the potential in fighting against pathogenic bacteria but also provides an important insight for the exploration of antibacterial platforms based on the bimetallic materials.

Based on the recycling of NO
x
, the Cu(I)- and HNO 3 -catalyzed oxidation of 2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)toluene to 2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)benzoic acid has been developed with an excellent yield of 84.2% and a purity of 99.7%. The optimized reaction conditions (160 °C, oxygen pressure 1.5 MPa, HNO 3 concentration 25 wt%, HNO 3 : substrate 0.5:1) use 1.0 mol% CuI as catalyst. The dosage of HNO 3 in the new process is only 25% of the stoichiometric amount and 12.5% of the amount of the traditional process. The NO
x
emission is 5% amount of the traditional process. The oxidation of several additional toluene derivatives with comparable yields demonstrates the generality to these reaction conditions.

Cu-Ce mixed oxides with different Cu contents were synthesized through a sol–gel method, after which their effect on benzene combustion catalysis was evaluated. CeCu0.50 calcined at 300 °C (CeCu0.50–300) exhibited a high areal rate [2.0 × 10 −6 mol/(m 2 h)] and turnover frequency (0.16 s −1 ) at 170 °C, thus demonstrating the strong synergistic effect between CuO and CeO 2 . The catalyst durability and influence of H 2 O(g) on catalytic activity were also investigated. Correlation analyses between the catalytic activities and the amount of copper species, indicated that CuO x clusters and the Cu-[O x ]-Ce structure were the main active sites and bridge for oxygen transfer, respectively. Furthermore, benzene did not adsorb onto the copper species. The effect of temperatures on surface oxygen vacancies and oxygenated intermediates were also evaluated. Taken together, our findings provided key insights into the synergistic effects of different copper species on benzene combustion.

Alkylphenol polyethoxylate (APEO n ) is an emerging contaminant mainly referred to nonylphenol polyethoxylate (NPEO n ) and octylphenol polyethoxylate (OPEO n ). A novel multiscale rough composite photocatalyst (CuO@Cu-H 3 BTC) with marigold-flower nanosheets and sub-micron flakes was successfully constructed for photodegradation of OPEO n and NPEO n under visible light. Several technologies (such as SEM , EDS, FTIR, XRD, XPS and EPR) were utilized to characterize the structures and properties of the as-obtained sample. The effect of OPEO n and NPEO n removal by CuO@Cu-H 3 BTC MOF and the influence of reaction conditions on the removal efficiency were explored. It was found that 96% of OPEO n and 79% of NPEO n were removed under the action of adsorption in darkness and degradation in visible light irradiation within 120 min when treating 25 mg/L OPEO n and NPEO n solution with 1.6 g/L of CuO@Cu-H 3 BTC MOF composite. The corresponding OPEO n and NPEO n removal efficiency could still achieve almost 72% and 51% after the CuO@Cu-H 3 BTC MOF was recycled five times, respectively. The degradation mechanism of APEO n investigation revealed that the free radicals and holes generated in the CuO@Cu-H 3 BTC MOF degraded APEO n , and the existence of holes was confirmed to play the major role through quenching experiment. In summary, this facile and novel CuO@Cu-H 3 BTC MOFs composite photocatalyst boosts the application platform in wastewater treatment .

A visible light-driven photoelectrocatalytic system was constructed based on Bi/Bi 2 O 3 /TiO 2 nanotubes (NTs) to treat wastewater containing oxytetracycline and Cu 2+ mixed pollutants. The surface morphology , crystal phase, elemental composition , light absorption property and photoelectrochemical activity of the synthesized Bi/Bi 2 O 3 /TiO 2 NTs were investigated. The composite film , Bi/Bi 2 O 3 /TiO 2 NTs was used for the photoelectrochemical removal of oxytetracycline, and it had excellent visible light photoelectrocatalytic performance. Under optimal conditions, the composite film was simultaneously used to remove coexisting oxytetracycline-Cu 2+ . The study results show that the reduction of Cu 2+ on cathode was promoted by oxytetracycline while the degradation of oxytetracycline on photoanode was slightly suppressed by Cu 2+ . Also, possible photoelectrocatalytic degradation pathways for oxytetracycline-Cu 2+ were analyzed by HPLC-MS.

Herein, a nanocomposite comprising polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and cobalt(II) hydroxide (Co(OH) 2 ) nanoparticles (PVP–Co(OH) 2 ) was synthesized via a hydrothermal method and used for detection of Cu(II) ions. Using PVP grafted nanosized Co(OH) 2 as a surfactant could decrease the aggregation and reduce the particle size. The conducted morphology investigations showed that PVP–Co(OH) 2 nanocomposite was composed of small spherical particles with a diameter of 40–80 nm that could accelerate mass diffusion and favor the deposition-stripping process of Cu(II) ions. High catalytic activity of Co(OH) 2 and good affinity of PVP to Cu(II) ions synergistically enhances sensing performance of the PVP–Co(OH) 2 nanocomposite-modified electrode than Co(OH) 2 - and PVP-modified electrodes. A linear response was obtained for Cu(II) ion concentration over a range of 1.0–90.0 μg/L, with a detection limit of 0.26 μg/L (S/N = 3). The proposed electrode exhibited good performance in terms of selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. It was also employed to detect Cu(II) ions in water and food samples, and the results were in good agreement with those obtained by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.

The interface site between metal and support possess unique electronic and morphological structure, providing distinct active centers for favorable reaction in catalytic conversion of biomass derivatives to valuable chemicals. In this study, a series of Cu-Co/CeO x catalysts were prepared for hydrogenolysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) via reduction of the corresponding layered double hydroxide precursors. The characterizations indicated the formation of CoCe-Vö interface (Vö denotes oxygen vacancy) and the effect of hydrogen spillover from Cu species to CoCe-Vö interface. Furthermore, the experiments and theoretical calculations verified that CoCe-Vö interface could activate the C O bond. The optimized catalyst showed a DMF yield of > 90% at 180 °C and 1.5 MPa H 2 with no deactivation in the cycling tests. This study reveals the interfacial effects of the nanocatalysts, including the oxygen vacancies and hydrogen spillover, on hydrogenolysis of HMF, which provided a simple and efficient approach for synthesis of high-performance non-noble metal nanocatalysts applied to the hydrogenolysis of various biomass derivatives.

Superhydrophobic surfaces have received so much attention in recent years and several approaches have been developed to prepare them. However, most current superhydrophobic surfaces are hard to be applied extensively due to some shortcomings such as mechanical weakness and complicated preparation process. In this paper, we present a facile and environmental way to prepare superhydrophobic coating by combining adhesives with lauric acid modified copper hydroxide powder. All the raw materials are commercially available and cheap and the entire process is very simple and eco-friendly, which make it probable for real application. The coated surfaces all show large contact angles and very small sliding angles with water droplets both in air and in oil, displaying super-water-repellency. Thus, the lauric acid modified Cu(OH) 2 (LAMC) coating features special self-cleaning property even after the contamination of oil. With the help of adhesives, it is very stable to resist mechanical strikes. Additionally, the coated copper mesh can separate oil-water mixtures efficiently and quickly and the coated sponge can absorb oil spills selectively. We believe that such versatile, durable and environmental superhydrophobic coating is promising in various areas.

Single metal catalysts build a bridge between homogeneous catalysis and heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we report the single-atom copper sites embedded in reduced graphene oxide (SA-Cu/rGO) for the degradation of various antibiotics, including sulfamethoxazole (SMX), meropenem and sulfafurazole via the heterogeneous activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). The SA-Cu/rGO/PMS system exhibited an enhanced performance toward the degradation of SMX with the kinetic was ~3.9 times faster than in the rGO/PMS system. Strikingly, we found that over 99% of the total organic carbon (TOC) was eliminated in the SA-Cu/rGO/PMS system within 120 min, demonstrating its excellent mineralization ability. The enhanced catalytic performance could be due to the synergistic effect between the rGO matrix and the exposed Cu active sites, which facilitated the generation large amount of reactive species and the in-situ decomposition of the pollutants at the surface of the catalysts. This SA-Cu/rGO catalyst with multifunctional properties can be potentially applied in the treatment of refractory wastewater.

Low selectivity and weak stability constantly restrict the industrial application of emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) for metal ions separation. This study proposed an improved ELM system, in which selectivity and stability were simultaneously enhanced for separation of Cd(II)/Cu(II) by adding citric acid and its salt as retardant and buffer difunctional additives. Initially, the separation coefficient ( β Cd/Cu ) in the blank experiment was only 1.15 in 15 min, which indicated that P507 exhibited a poor selectivity as a carrier. After adding citrate additives, the β Cd/Cu of the improved ELM system increased to more than 395.19 for two reasons. Firstly, the selectivity was enhanced by the selective chelation of citrate radicals on the Cu(II) ions, which were trapped in feed solution. Conversely, the Cd(II) ions were preferentially extracted by the P507 and then stripped into internal phase. Secondly, the stability was also improved, because the pH variation in the feed solution caused by the instability of membrane breakage was effectively controlled by the citrate additives as a pH buffer. Important variables in the citrate-enhanced ELM system including total citrate concentration, P507 concentration, dosage ratio of H 3 Cit to Na 3 Cit, H 2 SO 4 concentration, and metal ion concentration were studied, respectively. The scale-up continuous experiment was executed in a pilot-scale modified rotating disc contactor with β Cd/Cu of 859.61, which indicated that the citrate-enhanced ELM has considerable industrial application potential for efficient and steady separation of Cd(II)/Cu(II).

L-3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanine (L-dopa) is the most widely used drug in Parkinson's disease treatment. However, development of cost-effective and high-throughput sensors to accurate enantioselective discrimination of L-dopa and D-dopa remains challenging to date. Herein, on the basis of the peroxidase-mimic activity of chiral FexCuySe nanoparticles, we demonstrated a novel colorimetric sensor for determination of chiral dopa. The surface chiral ligand, L/D-histidine (L/D-His), endowed the nanozymes with enantioselectivity in catalyzing the oxidation of dopa enantiomers. According to the values of kcat/Km, the efficiency of L-His modified nanoparticles (L-FexCuySe NPs) towards L-dopa was 1.56 times higher than that of D-dopa. While, D-His can facilely reverse the preference of the nanozyme to D-dopa. On the basis of high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity of L-FexCuySe NPs in oxidation of L-dopa, the L-FexCuySe NPs-based system can be utilized for detection of L-dopa. The linear ranges for L-dopa determination were 5 μM–0.125 mM and 0.125 mM–1 mM with a detection limit of 1.02 μM. Critically, the developed sensor has been successfully applied in the quality control of clinical used L-dopa tablets. Our work sheds light on developing simple and sensitive chiral nanomaterials-based sensors for drug analysis.

Organic pollutants decomposition in high-salinity wastewater is still a challenge for environmental restoration due to the inhibitory effects results from the consumption of radicals by anions. Herein, we demonstrated a non-radical oxidation process via the peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation rather than photocatalysis by the Cu 2+ adsorbed adsorbent-based nitrogen doped biochar (Cu@NBC) for efficiently decontaminating polycarbonate plant wastewater (PCW). After the pyrolysis, the Cu 2+ in the waste biosorbent were reduced to Cu 2 O, and the N-doping improved the fixation of Cu and the formation of Cu 2 O. Through both dynamic fitting and characterization analysis, the critical role of Cu 2 O in PDS activation rather than photocatalysis was revealed for the first time. Different from always reported 1 O 2 dominated non-radical process, an electron-transfer mechanism involving surface metastable species was proved to play a key role in the Cu@NBC/PDS system. Benefit from the electron-transfer process, the Cu@NBC/PDS system equipped with high resistance to the anions in high-salinity wastewater. The results indicated that BPA as well as chemical oxygen demand (COD) could be effective removal within 90 min. We further deposited the activator on an ultrafiltration membrane and exhibited a rapid oxidation of BPA as the wastewater passed through the filter, and the composite membrane can effectively inactivate bacteria, which will provide a safety strategy for mitigation of membrane fouling.
