Nano-CuO have been grown on the surface of CdS nanorods by a simple solution-phase reaction, which greatly enhanced the hydrogen evolution ability of CdS. The physical chemistry properties of CuO/CdS nanocomposites were investigated by XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, XPS and electrochemical methods. The morphology and crystal structure of CdS were not influenced by the loading of Nano-CuO. And it was helpful to delay the time of electron recombination to the hole, and greatly improved the hydrogen evolution performance of CdS. When the loading of Nano-CuO was 1 wt%, the photocatalytic performance of CdS increases from 105 μmol g −1 h −1 to 3317.5 μmol g −1 h −1 . After several cycles, the structure of CuO/CdS nanocomposites was not changed, and Nano-CuO could effectively prevent the photo-corrosion defects of CdS. This work provides a new way to improve the hydrogen evolution performance of CdS by growing nano-oxide on CdS surface.

The composite of CuO coated MIL-101(Fe) (CuO@MIL-101(Fe)) was successfully prepared using a one-pot hydrothermal technology. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and TG technologies were used to characterize its structural, morphological, and physicochemical properties. CuO@MIL-101(Fe) exhibited a better pH adaptivity, a faster removal ratio of 95.8% for glyphosate within 10 min at pH 7, and a higher selectivity of adsorption capacity, even reaching 231.6 and 233.5 mg g −1 with coexisting Cl − (10 mmol L −1 ) and SO 4 2− (10 mmol L −1 ). The enhanced adsorption performances of CuO@MIL-101(Fe) may be caused by Cu forming a coordination interaction with glyphosate. A possible mechanism of glyphosate removal was discussed on the basis of the FTIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. CuO@MIL-101(Fe) composite would be more favourable to capture glyphosate from wastewater.

The development of lithium-ion batteries using transition metal oxides has recently become more attractive, due to their higher specific capacities, better rate capability, and high energy densities. Herein, the in situ growth of advanced mesoporous CuO/O-doped g-C3N4 nanospheres is carried out in a two step hydrothermal process at 180 °C and annealing in air at 300 °C. When used as an anode material, the CuO/O-doped g-C3N4 nanospheres achieve a high reversible discharge specific capacity of 738 mAhg–1 and a capacity retention of ∼75.3% after 100 cycles at a current density 100 mAg–1 compared with the pure CuO (412 mAhg–1, 47%) and O-doped g-C3N4 (66 mAhg–1, 53%). Even at high current density 1 Ag–1, they exhibit a reversible discharge specific capacity of 503 mAhg–1 and capacity retention ∼80% over 500 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance of the CuO/O-doped g-C3N4 nanocomposite is attributed to the following factors: (I) the in situ growing CuO/O-doped g-C3N4 avoids CuO nanoparticle aggregation, leading to the improved lithium ion transfer and electrolyte penetration inside the CuO/O-doped g-C3N4 anode, thus promoting the utilization of CuO; (II) the porous structure provides efficient space for Li+ transfer during the insertion/extraction process to avoid large volume changes; (III) the O-doping g-C3N4 decreases its band gap, ensuring the increased electrical conductivity of CuO/O-doped g-C3N4; and (IV) the strong interaction between CuO and O-doped g-C3N4 ensures the stability of the structure during cycling.

Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction is a promising approach for reducing CO 2 emissions and achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. In this work, selectively coupling Cu(OH) 2 and CuO with amine-modified brookite TiO 2 (NH 2 –B–TiO 2 ) has been achieved by a simple precipitation method. The results show that CuO is better than Cu(OH) 2 as a co-catalyst to enhance the CO 2 photoreduction capability of NH 2 –B–TiO 2 . The highest rates of CO 2 conversion to CH 4 and CO of NH 2 –B–TiO 2 –CuO composite reach 6.05 and 3.25 μmol h −1 g −1 , respectively, which is higher than 8 times the yield of CH 4 of NH 2 –B–TiO 2 . It is proposed that the NH 2 –B–TiO 2 –CuO composite offers an effective charge transfer through the formation of a p–n junction between NH 2 –B–TiO 2 and CuO interfaces, while in the NH 2 –B–TiO 2 –Cu(OH) 2 composite, the Cu(OH) 2 dominantly serves as an electron sink to capture photo-induced electrons, promoting photo-induced carrier separation. This work provides an ingenious synthetic method for selectively anchoring Cu(OH) 2 and CuO on semiconductors with different charge transfer routes for an efficient CO 2 photoreduction.

Spatially controlled co-loading of both oxidation and reduction cocatalysts on semiconductor photocatalysts has been demonstrated to be favorable for photogenerated charge separation and thus enhanced photocatalytic activity. Herein, we presented a simple ball-milling method to improve photocatalytic H 2 production of TiO 2 by co-loading of oxidation cocatalyst Co 3 O 4 with reduction cocatalyst CuO , wherein the Co 3 O 4 loading amount was significant especially for TiO 2 loaded with sufficient or optimum CuO. In comparison with that on TiO 2 loaded with only CuO, the photocatalytic H 2 production from water over TiO 2 photocatalyst co-loaded with CuO and trace Co 3 O 4 was enhanced by approximately 5.5 times, even though complex spatial control was not adopted. In contrast, remarkable improvement of photocatalytic activity after Co 3 O 4 co-loading was only observed on TiO 2 photocatalysts loaded with less CuO in the presence of methanol. Better separation of photogenerated charges on the surface of dual-cocatalysts modified TiO 2 was further demonstrated by decreased luminescence as well as increased photogenerated electrons and hydroxyl radicals as compared to those loaded with only CuO.

The production of methyl lactate as a degradable polymer monomer from biomass was an important topic for a sustainable society. In this manuscript, glycerol was oxidated to methyl lactate catalyzed by the combination of Au-CuO and Sn-Beta. The influence of Sn content, Sn source, and the preparation conditions for Sn-β was studied. The Au content in Au/CuO was also investigated by varying the Au content in Au/CuO. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, FTIR spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption, and TEM to study the role of Sn and the influence of different parameters for catalyst preparation. After the optimization of reaction parameters, the yield of methyl lactate from glycerol reached 59% at 363 K after reacting in 1.6 MPa of O2for 6 h.Keywords:glycerol;oxidation;methyl lactate;Sn-Beta;Au/CuO

Integration of water oxidation catalysts on conductive support without polymer binder is an appealing strategy to improve the catalytic activity for electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction. Herein, the hierarchical CuO dandelion-like materials assembled from numerous ultrathin nanosheets are directly grown on Cu foil to produce a 3D oxygen evolution anode (CuO NSDs/CF). As a result of its integrated configuration and high electrocatalytic active sites, the anode exhibits superior electrocatalytic water oxidation activity in 1.0 M NaOH solution, associated with a small overpotential of 370 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and a low Tafel slope of 41 mV dec −1 . Furthermore, the anode can maintain a relatively stable current density at 1.65 V versus RHE for at least 24 h, and a high Faradaic efficiency of 98% is also achieved.

Membrane fouling and poor flexibility plague membrane technology for further application in water treatment. Herein, we introduce a hierarchical superflexible/superhydrophilic poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexa-fluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP)/CuO-nanosheet membrane, which is capable of separating Polystyrene (PS) microspheres (diameter large than 300 nm) with high separation efficiency (higher than 99.89%). Moreover, the resulting membrane maintained 98.10% water flux after 60 min, suggesting excellent anti-fouling property. The anti-fouling property is contributed by the membrane superhydrophilicity, a result of the extreme roughness of CuO-nanosheet and the hydrophilic nature of CuO. Furthermore, the membrane processes outstanding flexibility due to the PVDF-HFP nanofiber backbone, which widens its applicability in practical industrial employment. Therefore, such a membrane with anti-fouling, high separation efficiency, super flexibility, as well as acceptable water flux (2360 ± 50 Lm − 2 h − 1 , 0.3 bar) and good mechanical properties (stress at break 6.65 MPa and elongation at break 67.35%), makes the membrane a good candidate for practical water microfiltration.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) with unique and versatile properties has gained increasing research concerns. Here, CuO/g-C 3 N 4 nanocomposite is fabricated and employed for gas-phase mercury (Hg 0 ) removal at low temperature. Pure g-C 3 N 4 performs well toward Hg 0 adsorption at 40–200 °C with the optimal Hg 0 removal efficiency of ~ 54.5% at 120 °C. CuO-modification can significantly promote the Hg 0 capture ability of g-C 3 N 4 , probably due to the intimate interface contact of CuO and g-C 3 N 4 . The Hg 0 removal efficiency of g-C 3 N 4 first increases and then decreases with rising temperature, while temperature shows a promotional effect on Hg 0 removal efficiency of CuO/g-C 3 N 4 . Hg 0 is oxidized into HgO by the chemisorbed oxygen originated from the O–C–N structure of g-C 3 N 4 and the lattice oxygen of CuO. g-C 3 N 4 can be efficiently activated by modifying with CuO toward enhanced Hg 0 oxidation ability, presumably attributed to the electron transfer at the interface of CuO and g-C 3 N 4 .

The nucleophilic superoxide radical (O2•–)-based dehalogenation reaction shows great potential to degrade the toxic halogenated organic compounds (HOCs). But such an O2•–-mediated reductive reaction often suffers from the competition of the secondary oxidative species (e.g., •OH), leading to inferior electron efficiency and possible disinfection byproduct formation. Here, an O2•–-dominant ultrafast dehalogenation system is developed via molecular O2 activation by the oxygen vacancy (OV)-rich CuO nanoparticles (nCuO). The nCuO delivers a remarkable dechlorination rate constant of 3.92 × 10–2 L min–1 m–2 for 2,4-dichlorophenol, much higher than that of the conventional zerovalent (bi)metals. The absorbed O2 on the nCuO surface is exclusively responsible for O2•– generation, and its reactivity increases with the elevated OV content because of the enhanced orbital hybridization between the O p- and Cu d-orbitals. More importantly, the ubiquitous carbonate species firmly bound to the surface OVs block the formation of the secondary oxidative species via H2O2 activation, assuring the dominant role of the in situ generated O2•– for the selective HOC dehalogenation. The carbonate-deactivated OVs of the nCuO can be feasibly recovered via air annealing for sustainable dehalogenation. This work provides a new opportunity for selective O2•– generation via interfacial defect engineering for dehalogenation and other environmental applications.

After applying for many years, antibiotics, such as chlortetracycline (CTC), have been widely detected in aquatic environment. The persistence and toxicity effect of them ungently calling for better solution. In this study, CuO nanosheet-liked structure has been successfully synthesized through a C 3 N 4 templating method with the presence of benzyl alcohol and sodium citrate by assembling small CuO nanoparticles onto the surface of C 3 N 4 nanosheet . Because of the C 3 N 4 -liked structure, narrowing band gap, enhanced visible light absorption and decreased recombination rate of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, the as-prepared CuO nanosheet-liked structure exhibits an enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity in the degradation of CTC. Furthermore, Pt nanoparticles with a dimension around 10 nm have been loaded onto the surface of CuO nanosheet-liked structure to enhance the visible-light photoactivity of the photocatalyst. For the first time, the CuO-based photocatalyst can be applied in the photocatalytic degradation of CTC and displays an improved performance while comparing to TiO 2 -based photocatalysts. In particular, nearly 50% concentration of CTC in the solution can be degraded with the presence of Pt/CuO-NS-2 in 120 min. With the synergy effect between H 2 O 2 and Pt/CuO-NS-2, the degradation efficiency and ability of CTC has been further improved. Around 80% of CTC in the solution was degraded in 60 min.

The CuO micro/nanowires film has been prepared successfully on a Cu substrate using a combination of an electrochemical anodization and an annealing treatment. Its morphology and phase composition have been systemically examined. The vertically aligned CuO micro/nanowires can form a skeleton to facilitate the embedment of Al nanoparticles so that their interfacial contacts will expand significantly to increase the total energy release. The CuO micro/nanowires can be used to synthesize the Al/CuO composite thermite film using an electrophoretic deposition of Al nanoparticles. The thermal analyses reveal that the Al/CuO composite thermite film can release a heat output of 2009 J·g–1 at 10 min deposition. This work develops an effective protocol for the synthesis of the Al/CuO composite thermite film, which is highly compatible with microelectromechanical systems to realize functional energetic chips.
