Developing efficient pH-universal hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts is critically needed yet challenged by pH-dependent. Here, a lignin-derived carbon-supported Ni/Cu/MoO 2 heterostructure (Ni/Cu/MoO 2 @LC) through multiphase interfaces design is engineered, which displays excellent electrochemical activity, featuring low potentials of −14.4/−201.5 (acidic), −44.5/−615.7 (neutral), and −28.2/−242.3 mV (alkaline) at −10/−1000 mA cm −2 . Theoretical and experimental analysis show that the Ni/Cu/MoO 2 @LC multiphase interfaces produce a synergistic coupling of compressive-tensile strains and interfacial electron transfer effect. This synergistic effect triggers electron redistribution, tailors the electronic configuration through d -band center optimization, and balances intermediate adsorption/desorption energetics. Additionally, lignin-derived carbon self-supported micro-nano-array structure enhances gas-liquid transport and corrosion resistance, allowing Ni/Cu/MoO 2 @LC to operate stably for at least 120 h, at −500 mA cm −2 in various pH solutions. Thus, this study provides a new idea for the design of cost-effective pH-universal HER electrocatalysts and a new approach for applying lignin-derived carbon in electrocatalysis.

In this work, copper-doped Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanocomposites were synthesized via the solvothermal method. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and electron paramagnetic resonance. The performance of the catalysts in the Fenton-like reaction was evaluated through the analysis of their antibacterial activity in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Electron paramagnetic resonance results indicated that • OH and • OOH, generated from hydrogen peroxide, were the primary active components in the reaction system. The Cu 2+ -Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites showed stronger antibacterial activity towards Escherichia coli than Fe 3 O 4 , possibly due to the presence of Cu 2+ which accelerated the circulation between Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ ions and enhanced the utilization efficiency of hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis demonstrated that the concentration of released copper ions in aqueous solution remained within safe limits. Herein, we may provide a promising environmentally friendly catalyst for water disinfection treatment.

Pd–Cu bimetallic catalysts were successfully synthesized for the dehydrogenation of Bisphenol Z (BPZ) by an impregnation-reduction method. The obtained catalyst was studied by XRD, HRTEM, XPS, BET, and NH3-TPD techniques and effectively applied in the highly selective cleavage dehydrogenation of BPZ to give PPP > 99% yield at 270 °C and atmospheric pressure in the solvent-free condition. It was demonstrated that the “synergistic effect” of the bimetallic catalysts could effectively promote the cleavage dehydrogenation reaction. Pd species served as the primary active sites for the adsorption and dissociation of H* and the activation of C–H bonds, while the introduced Cu species accelerated the breaking process of the C–H bond. This catalyst demonstrated remarkable stability and could be reused over ten cycles without obvious decrease both in yield and selectivity. The likely reaction pathway was outlined to elucidate the cleavage dehydrogenation mechanism according to experimental results.

Spinel oxides with the general formula of MnCu x Co 2−x O 4 (x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 respectively) are used as coating materials on the metallic interconnect SUS 430 alloy to reduce the cathodic performance degradation by Cr poisoning and the interfacial resistance to improve the surface stability. The effect of Cu doping at the B position of spinel on the electrical conductivity and coefficient of temperature expansion (CTE) is investigated to determine the oxidation behavior and effectiveness as a protective layer. The result confirms that MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 spinel shows highest electrical conductivity of 105.46 S cm −1 at 750 °C in air and an average CTE value of 12.27 × 10 −6 K −1 at temperature range of 20–960 °C. MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 coating is stable enough after 2000 h cyclic oxidation at 750 °C. The growth of Cr 2 O 3 and formation of MnCr 2 O 4 in the scale layer are effectively suppressed by the presence of MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 coating. The oxidation kinetics obeys the parabolic law with a rate constant as low as 2.76 × 10 −15 g 2 cm −4 ·s −1 and the ASR contributed by the oxide scale is 8.04 mΩ cm 2 at 750 °C. The research indicates that MnCu 0.5 Co 1.5 O 4 is a promising coating material for metallic interconnects of the intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells .

In this work, the preparation and characterization of a composite of Cu-Cu 2 O with g-C 3 N 4 and its application in the catalysis of aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols are reported. The composites Cu-Cu 2 O/g-C 3 N 4 were prepared starting with CuSO 4 under reduction conditions with ball milling, followed by thermal treatment. The introduction of g-C 3 N 4 into the composite can enhance the catalytic oxidation. Band structure analysis based on UPS data reveals that the enhancement can be attributed to the small work function of g-C 3 N 4 , which raises the VBM level of the chief catalyst Cu 2 O through injecting electrons into the oxide at the heterojunction due to Fermi energy alignment. Both VBM ascending and forming an internal electric field (IEF) due to the electron transfer across the interface contribute to the enhancement in the catalysis. Further, the N-rich matrix g-C 3 N 4 promotes proton transfer in the catalysis due to its basicity, which also accelerates the catalysis.

To address the limitations of molecular sieves and metal oxides in the NH3-SCR of NOx, we synthesized a novel hybrid catalyst by integrating FeNbCe metal oxides with Cu-SSZ-13. The FeNbCe comodification significantly enhanced the low-temperature performance and sulfur resistance of Cu-SSZ-13 while maintaining 100% N2 selectivity across a broad activity window. The incorporation of Fe, Nb, and Ce reduced weak-acid and Lewis-acid sites while increasing strong Brønsted-acid sites, crucial for catalytic activity. The FeNbCe/Cu-SSZ-13 catalyst exhibited an enhanced surface oxygen content and redox capacity, promoting the “fast SCR” pathway and improving N2 selectivity at low temperatures. The FeNbCe oxides synergistically reacted with SO2, protecting Cu2+ active sites from sulfur poisoning and maintaining 100% NOx conversion for 4 h after SO2 introduction, maintaining 85% within 24 h. In situ DRIFTS characterization confirmed the dominance of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism. The FeNbCe modification represents a significant advancement in the field of NH3–SCR catalysis, offering a practical and effective solution to enhance the performance of Cu-SSZ-13 while addressing key challenges such as sulfur resistance and low-temperature activity.

Attapulgite (ATP) has a unique porous layered chain structure and is an excellent environment-friendly decolorizer. However, its high viscosity makes it difficult to separate. First, it was combined with magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles to obtain Fe 3 O 4 -ATP that is easy to recycle and reuse. Then, Fe 3 O 4 -ATP nanoparticles were embedded in chitosan (CS) gel beads, and glutaraldehyde was used for cross-linking and curing. Lastly, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was successfully connected to Fe 3 O 4 -ATP/CS gel beads through amidation reaction, which further increased the capability of the adsorbent to adsorb heavy metal ions. The prepared magnetic composite adsorbent is a sphere with a rough surface and porous structure. The maximum adsorption capacity of the prepared Fe 3 O 4 -ATP/EDTA/CS adsorbent for Pb(II), Cu(II), and Ni(II) is 368.32, 267.94, and 220.31 mg g −1 , respectively. After 5 times of repeated use, Fe 3 O 4 -ATP/EDTA/CS still showed good adsorption capacity for Cu(II), Pb(II), and Ni(II). Fe 3 O 4 -ATP/EDTA/CS has a large adsorption capacity for heavy metal ions, a wide pH applicability, good reuse, and rapid magnetic separation. In addition, Cu(II) loaded Fe 3 O 4 -ATP/EDTA/CS also showed good catalytic degradation performance for bisphenol A. This study prepared a new type of adsorbent with good adsorption performance and provided a promising method for the treatment of wastewater.

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 healing process of diabetic wounds is notably impeded due to reduced cellular functions, impaired vascularization, and persistent malignant inflammation, posing a significant obstacle in clinical management. Herein, a novel injectable multifunctional composite hydrogel (CMCSMF/QCT-Cu) with photo−/glucose-/ROS-responsivity was fabricated for enhancing diabetic wound healing which could be adapted to the local irregular anatomical shape as well as the microenvironment of high glucose and oxidative stress. Furthermore, experimental evidence has demonstrated that the CMCSMF/QCT-Cu composite hydrogel displays superior mechanical properties, with a storage modulus exceeding 700 Pa and an average adhesion strength of approximately 12.5 kPa, thereby enabling the hydrogel to effectively prevent external irritation and exhibit rapid hemostatic effects after injection. Moreover, this composite hydrogel exerted excellent collective functions including remodeling the homeostasis of fibroblast, accelerated angiogenesis and regulating immune microenvironment, ultimately accelerating diabetic wound healing, while the immunoregulatory effect may be attributed to the activation of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. Overall, the innovative multifunctional composite hydrogel presents a promising potential clinical therapy for enhancing diabetic wound healing.

The Cu-Ce modified SAPO-34/ZSM-5 (S-Z) composite molecular sieve catalysts were synthesized via a stepwise crystallization process using triethylamine (TEA) and tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) as dual templates. This method significantly reduces the crystallization time from 24 hours to 12 hours. The incorporation of metal ions alters the structure and acid strength of the molecular sieves, thereby decreasing the rate of coke formation during the reaction, which in turn extends the catalyst's lifetime. Experimental results demonstrated that the catalyst's lifetime increased progressively with the addition of Ce. In the methanol-to-olefin reaction, the catalytic lifetime of the S-Z/Cu 0.05 -Ce 0.05 samples reached 1440 mins, approximately 480 mins longer than that of the S-Z samples, while maintaining a selectivity for low-carbon olefins at around 89.6%.

Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared by chemical vapour deposition for catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of phenol in a fixed bed reactor. Firstly, Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts with Cu loading of 0.5, 2, and 6 wt% were prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption–desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The characterization results demonstrated that CuO was uniformly dispersed on ZSM-5 with slight effect on the structure properties of the support. Then, several variables, such as the copper loading, reaction temperature, catalyst bed height and feed flow rate were investigated in the CWPO of phenol in aqueous solution at high concentration (1000 ppm). Compared with the catalyst prepared by the impregnation method, the Cu-ZSM-5 prepared by chemical vapour deposition has a better capacity of further oxidizing the intermediate organic products into carbon dioxide and water with less metal loading. Based on the Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst with Cu loading of 6 wt%, complete removal of phenol and a high TOC reduction (around 70%) have been achieved at the temperature of 80°C feed flow rate of 2 ml min−1 and catalyst bed height of 3 cm. Moreover, this catalyst maintained high catalytic activity after three runs with high phenol conversion (94%) under this optimum operating condition. Finally, the reaction mechanism was studied based on the intermediates detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

In this work, a 3D ultra-thin NiCo-LDH nanosheet array coated Cu nanoparticles on carbon cloth (NiCo-LDH@Cu NSA/CC) was ultrafast synthesized by plasma magnetron sputtering for the first time. This method has low toxicity and is easy to operate. As a durable and efficient 3D heteronanoarray electrocatalyst for glucose detection, NiCo-LDH@Cu NSA/CC has higher stable conductivity and faster electron transport rate than NiCo-LDH NSA/CC and Cu nanoparticles, which work through synergistic effect to form a high-performance sensing platform. The NiCo-LDH@Cu NSA/CC heteronanosheet structure has good electrocatalytic performance for glucose oxidation, with the sensitivity of the two linear ranges (0.001–1 mmol L −1 and 1–6 mmol L −1 ) being 9710 μA L mmol −1 cm −2 and 4870 μA L mmol −1 cm −2 , respectively, and the detection limit (LOD) is 157 nmol L −1 (S/N = 3).
