The complexation of metals and metal compounds with organic skeletons into nanohybrid composites attracts attention in electrochemical applications due to the improved charge transfer pathways, which enhance the electrocatalytic activity. In this study, CuO, Cu 2 O, and CuS were anchored on g-C 3 N 4 sheets to construct electrochemical sensors for the detection of acetaminophen (AP). The CuX/g-C 3 N 4 nanohybrid composites were analyzed via transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Among the CuX/g-C 3 N 4 nanocomposites, CuS/g-C 3 N 4 displays a higher electrochemical activity. The electrochemical CuS/g-C 3 N 4 , CuO/g-C 3 N 4 , and Cu 2 O/g-C 3 N 4 sensors have wide linear ranges of 5 to 500 µM with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.26 µM, 5 to 300 µM with a LOD of 0.32 µM, and 5 to 250 µM with a LOD of 0.47 µM, respectively. The better performance of the CuS/g-C 3 N 4 sensor is probably because of its significantly higher catalytic rate constant with respect to the oxidation of AP in electrochemical kinetics compared with those of the two other sensors, which leads to the enhanced electrocatalytic oxidation of AP. The CuX/g-C 3 N 4 -based electrochemical sensors display an excellent selectivity, repeatability, reproducibility, and stability. These features suggest that CuX/g-C 3 N 4 based electrochemical sensors can be sensitively detected of AP.

In the study, CuS/Fe 2 O 3 /Mn 2 O 3 magnetic nanocomposite was successfully synthesized and the properties were investigated via a series of characterization. Subsequently, the magnetic nanocomposite was applied to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation. The results showed that the CuS/Fe 2 O 3 /Mn 2 O 3 magnetic nanocomposite possessed higher catalytic performance for ciprofloxacin degradation than bare CuS and Fe 2 O 3 /Mn 2 O 3 composite. The degradation process of CIP was suitable for the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the highest rate was reached 0.10083 min −1 . And under the optimized conditions (catalyst = 0.6 g·L −1 , PMS = 0.6 g·L −1 , pH = 5.84, C 0 = 0.2 g·L −1 and t = 120 min), the efficiency of 88% and 48.6% were corresponding to degradation and mineralization of ciprofloxacin, respectively. In addition, the key factors of degradation process such as catalyst dosage, PMS concentration, initial pH value and common anions were investigated. And the results indicated that the degradation efficiency of ciprofloxacin was reduced, which affected by the common anions in order of Cl − > SO 4 2− > NO 3 − > HCO 3 − > Humic acid. Besides, several intermediates of ciprofloxacin were detected and the plausible degradation pathways were proposed. In addition, the underlying reaction mechanism was proposed. Meanwhile, the results of free radical quenching experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra indicated that both OH and SO 4 − radicals were existed in the reaction system and the OH radicals had a conquer role in the degradation progress. Moreover, the stability and reusability of CuS/Fe 2 O 3 /Mn 2 O 3 magnetic nanocomposite were evaluated, which the degradation efficiency still reached 72% after five times used. Ultimately, the as-constructed CuS/Fe 2 O 3 /Mn 2 O 3 magnetic nanocomposite might be a candidate to the removal of refractory pollutants in environmental remediation.

Strong absorption in a wide wavelength range and effective charge separation are main factors for improving photocatalytic activity of semiconductor photocatalysts. Herein, immobilized zero-dimensional/one-dimensional (0D/1D) Au/CuS/CdS/TiO 2 nanobelts (Au/CuS/CdS/TiO 2 NBs) heterostructure photocatalyst with innovative morphology and appropriate band-gap configuration was synthesized for the first time. For this construction, TiO 2 NBs provide the 1D structure for a large superficial area and fast electron mobility, 0D CdS and CuS nanoparticles are the visible-light responsive nanomaterials, and Au nanoparticles serve as the surface plasmon resonance effect and electron transfer. The Au/CuS/CdS/TiO 2 NBs showed improved photocatalytic performance towards moxifloxacin (MOX) degradation, which can be attributed to the promoted photoabsorption contribution and enhanced separation and transfer of photoexcited electrons and holes. The morphology, constitution, optical and electrochemical properties of the prepared photocatalyst were investigated comprehensively. Moreover, the photocatalytic degradation mechanism and degradation by-products of moxifloxacin were studied. Results showed that the OH, O 2 − and h + are the main chemical oxidation species responsible for the degradation of MOX. Eight different photocatalytic degradation products were detected. The stability assessment showed that photodissolution plays the primary role in the photocatalytic performance decrease of Au/CuS/CdS/TiO 2 NBs. This work gives a promising strategy to rational design efficient hybrid metal-semiconductor photocatalysts for solar energy conversion.

The combination of chemodynamic and photothermal materials can not only improve the therapeutic effect of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) by thermal stimulation, but also play a synergistic therapeutic role. Benefitting from the strong near-infrared absorption ability, copper sulfide (CuS) nanomaterials are widely used in photothermal therapy. However, due to the harsh preparation conditions, low photothermal efficiency and poor biocompatibility, further biomedical application is limited. In this work, silver-doped copper sulfide nanoparticles (BSA-Ag:CuS) were synthesized using a biomineralization strategy using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a template and stabilizer. Silver doping greatly improved the near-infrared absorption and photothermal efficiency of CuS nanoparticles, which can be used for 1064 nm laser-guided photothermal therapy (PTT). Meanwhile, BSA-Ag:CuS nanoparticles had a synergistic therapeutic effect with CDT and thus showed excellent antitumor performance. In vivo and in vitro biological experiments have shown that BSA-Ag:CuS nanoparticles have good stability, low toxicity, good biocompatibility and strong antitumor ability, and are promising as antitumor agents for future clinical cancer treatment.

The exploration of highly efficient nonprecious metal bifunctional electrocatalysts to boost oxygen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction is critical for development of high energy density metal-air batteries. Herein, a class of CuS/NiS 2 interface nanocrystals (INs) catalysts with atomic-level coupled nanointerface, subtle lattice distortion, and plentiful vacancy defects is reported. The results from temperature-dependent in situ synchrotron-based X-ray absorption fine spectroscopy and electron spin resonance spectroscopy demonstrate that the lattice distortion of 14.7% in CuS/NiS 2 caused by the strong Jahn–Teller effect of Cu, the strong atomic-level coupled interface of CuS and NiS 2 domains, and distinct vacancy defects can provide numerous effective active sites for their excellent bifunctional performance. A liquid Zn-air battery with the CuS/NiS 2 INs as air electrode displays a large peak power density (172.4 mW cm −2 ), a high specific capacity (775 mAh g Zn −1 ), and long cycle life (up to 83 h), making the CuS/NiS 2 INs among the best bifunctional catalysts for Zn-air battery. More remarkably, the flexible CuS/NiS 2 INs-based solid-state Zn-air batteries can power the LED after twisting, making them be promising in portable and wearable electronic devices.

The frequently detected antibiotics in aquatic environments can induce antibiotic-resistance genes, thereby posing significant risks to both ecosystems and human health. Thus, it is imperative to remove antibiotics from water environments. We constructed a novel polydopamine-loaded copper sulfide (CuS@PDA) through a simple hydrothermal method to activate H 2 O 2 to degrade tetracycline (TC). Compared to CuS/H 2 O 2 , the CuS@PDA/H 2 O 2 system not only achieved efficient TC removal with kinetic rate constant of 0.20 min −1 , but also showed much lower Cu 2+ ions leaching (3.81 mg/L from CuS vs. 0.21 mg/L from CuS@PDA). Besides, CuS@PDA exhibited remarkable recyclability with 93 % removal in the fifth consecutive cycle. Mechanisms analysis revealed that Cu and S contributed to the H 2 O 2 activation and S promoted the conversion of Cu(II) to Cu(I), beneficial for the production of reactive oxygen species. 1 O 2 was found to play the dominant role in the degradation of TC on the basis of quenching tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis. PDA in CuS@PDA composites facilitated easier complexation with H 2 O 2 and conferred stronger oxidation capability. Lastly, the TC degradation pathway by CuS@PDA/H 2 O 2 was proposed, and the ecotoxicity of its degradation intermediates was estimated. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that the use of PDA can not only improve the catalytic activity and recyclability of CuS towards H 2 O 2 activation for organic pollutants degradation, but also greatly mitigate copper ions leaching.

Constructing antibacterial and antioxidant hydrogels is critical for treating infected full-thickness skin wounds. Herein, we report a co-encapsulation strategy to load CuS nanoparticles and hydrophobic antioxidant curcumin (cur) in aldehyde-terminated F127 micelles, which are then cross-linked with carboxymethyl chitosan through a Schiff base reaction to form a functional composite hydrogel (CF–CuS–cur). Apart from its suitable swelling and degradation behavior, good biocompatibility, and injectability for treating irregular wounds, the CF–CuS–cur hydrogel displayed excellent photothermal antibacterial ability under 1064 nm NIR laser irradiation, and antioxidant activity to protect cells from excessive oxidative stress. Using a full-thickness infected wound model, we demonstrated that the CF–CuS–cur hydrogel accelerated the wound healing process by effective sterilization and decreased inflammation, under synergistic action from CuS, curcumin and NIR irradiation. Histological and immunohistochemistry analysis further revealed the promoted skin attachments and regeneration, collagen deposition, neovascularization, and early transition to anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages, when the wounds were treated with the CF–CuS–cur hydrogel. This work demonstrates a facile strategy to construct functional hydrogels with NIR-enhanced antibacterial and antioxidant properties, which can be potentially applied as wound dressings for treating chronic wounds.

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide into energy-carrying compounds or value-added chemicals is of great significance for diminishing the greenhouse effect. However, it is still imperative to replace the less-value anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to improve the technical economy. Herein, we firstly reported a bifunctional CuS/TiO 2 catalyst for both anodic methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and cathodic carbon dioxide reduction (CO 2 R). The in-built abundant CuS/TiO 2 heterointerfaces are found to boost the CO 2 R and MOR to produce formate. Based on the unique bifunctionality of CuS/TiO 2 , a paired electrosynthesis of formate was performed with a total Faradaic efficiency (FE) of about 170 %, in which the cathodic CO 2 R achieved a formate FE of about 70 %, and the anodic MOR exhibited an almost 100 % formate FE.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficiency is directly affected by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by photosensitizers. However, ROSs' ultrashort life span and limited diffusion distance restrict the PDT efficiency. Therefore, it is important to control the delivery strategy of photosensitizers for PDT treatment. Herein, the core-satellite nanoreactors were fabricated with oxygen generation and ROS diffusion properties. The hollow CuS encapsulating horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was combined with the cationic photosensitizers (PEI-Ce6). The unique photosensitizers delivery strategy makes the nanoreactors achieve ROS diffusion-enhanced PDT effect. First, HRP in “core” (HRP@CuS) can decompose hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) to O 2 , increasing O 2 levels on the surface of the nanoreactor. Second, the Ce6 molecules covalent-linked with PEI are uniformly dispersed on the surface of CuS as a “satellite”, avoiding Ce6 aggregation and causing more Ce6 molecules be activated to produce more 1 O 2 . Due to the Ce6 was on the surface of the CuS nanocages, the generated ROS may ensure a larger diffusion range. Meanwhile, the inherently CuS nanocages exhibit photothermal and photoacoustic (PA) effect. The photothermal effect further enhances the ROS diffusion. Under the guidance of PA imaging, nanoreactors exhibit highly efficient hypoxic tumor ablation via photodynamic and photothermal effect. Overall, the core-satellite nanoreactors provide an effective strategy for tumor therapy, further promoting the research of photosensitizers delivery.

Nanoparticle flexibility is an important parameter in determining cell uptake and tumor accumulation, thus modulating therapeutic efficiency in cancer treatment. Herein, we successfully prepared CuS-embedded human serum albumin hollow nanocapsules (denoted CuS/HSA) by a hard-core-assisted layer-by-layer coating approach. This approach afforded CuS/HSA hollow nanocapsules with controllable shell thickness, tunable flexibility, uniform size (272.9 nm), a large hollow cavity, peroxidase-like activity, excellent photothermal conversion ability, and a high tetra-(4-aminophenyl) porphyrin (TAPP) loading capacity (27.3 wt%). The peroxidase-like activity of the CuS nanoparticles enabled them to overcome tumor hypoxia and augment the sonodynamic therapeutic (SDT) effects and photothermal conversion ability for photothermal therapy (PTT). In vitro experiments showed that the CuS/HSA-TAPP hollow nanocapsules efficiently induced cancer cell apoptosis under US irradiation and cancer cell ablation under laser irradiation, thus facilitating synergistic SDT and PTT. Importantly, the flexibility of the CuS/HSA hollow nanocapsules resulted in significantly enhanced cellular internalization and a longer mean residence time (131.3 h) than their solid counterparts (21.0 h). In a breast tumor model, the flexible CuS/HSA hollow nanocapsules exhibited high tumor accumulation of up to 27.1%. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the flexible CuS/HSA-TAPP hollow nanocapsules effectively eliminated breast tumors via the synergistic effect of SDT and PTT.

As a promising method, coupled advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on the photocatalytic and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation has attracted extensive attention to degrade organic pollutants . Therefore, heterogeneous photosensitive PMS activators with high activity and excellent stability played a crucial role in this process need to be developed. In this study, magnetic NiFe 2 O 4 /CuS composite powder was successfully synthesized based on a simple solvothermal method combined with co-precipitation method, which was applied in the catalytic degradation process of lomefloxacin (LOM). The mass ratio of ingredients was optimized, while the physical and chemical properties of as-prepared samples were analyzed though a series of characterizations. In addition, under the illumination of simulated sunlight, 88.1% of LOM could be eliminated over 40 min with the addition of 0.8 g L −1 PMS and 0.6 g L −1 NiFe 2 O 4 /CuS (1:5) at pH 5.86 (unadjusted). Radical scavenging experiments and EPR test analysis were carried out to prove the contribution of different active species in the degradation process. Besides, the possible degradation mechanism was proposed. The intermediate products produced during the degradation of LOM were detected by the high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS), and the possible degradation pathways were deduced. Finally, the recyclability of NiFe 2 O 4 /CuS and the stability of the new degradation system were elucidated.

The synergism of CuS and tartaric acid (TA) in the reduction of Cr(VI) with an irradiation of simulated solar light was investigated through observing the effects of solution pH, temperature, CuS loading and TA concentration on the removal efficiency of Cr(VI). Approximately 32% and 54% of the initial Cr(VI) (100 µmol/L) were reduced within 180 min by TA and CuS with light, respectively. Under the same condition, however, almost a complete removal of the initial Cr(VI) was achieved within 130 min in the coexistence of CuS and TA. In the case, it is considered that Cr(VI) was rapidly reduced in two main pathways. One is that H2S produced from the dissolution of CuS in weak acidic solution directly reduced Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The other is that Cu(II) released from CuS reacted with TA to form complexes with photochemical activity, producing Cu(I) through ligand-to-metal electron transfer, and then the reduction of Cr(VI) was coupled with a conversion of Cu(I) to Cu(II). Thus, a cycle catalytic system was established for the reduction of Cr(VI). Moreover, it is observed that the reaction could be divided into two stages: the initial chemical reduction of Cr(VI) by H2S and the later photochemical reduction of Cr(VI) by Cu(II)–TA complexes.
