Pt@Cu-ZSM-5@CuO x catalyst was constructed for the catalytic oxidation of acetonitrile (AN), which achieved a complete mineralization rate and more than 95 % N 2 selectivity within 300–450 °C. Characterization results revealed that the satisfactory synergistic action of hydrolysis and oxidation pathways was well achieved. The NO x release from CN oxidation reaction on out-layer CuO x species and NH x species over-oxidation over Pt sites could be eliminated by NH 3 from CN hydrolysis reaction on Cu ions via internal selective catalytic reduction mechanism. The deep oxidation of carbon-containing intermediates (such as CO etc.) during CN decomposition over Cu species effectively occurred over Pt site. The encapsulation of Pt inner ZSM-5 zeolite not only strengthened low-temperature mineralization rate compared to Cu/ZSM-5 sample, but also inhibited NO x release caused by over-oxidation of AN at an elevated temperature with co-impregnation of Pt species over Cu/ZSM-5. This work provided a viable strategy for designing catalysts to effective abatement of NVOCs.

Biomass-based chemicals as a renewable alternative to petroleum-based chemicals are of great significance. The conversion of biomass-based furfuryl alcohol to pentanediol, including 1,5-pentanediol and 1,2-pentanediol, is explored over a series of bifunctional Cu/MFI catalysts in a continuous-flow reactor. These catalysts are synthesized by supporting copper nanoparticles on MFI zeolites with varying molar ratios of SiO2/Al2O3. Among them, the Z60-10Cu catalyst containing balanced Cu0–Cu+ and Brønsted acid sites exhibits excellent performance, and a high furfuryl alcohol conversion of 99.5% and selectivity of 85.2% for 1,5-pentanediol (69.2%) and 1,2-pentanediol (16.0%) could be achieved (hydrogen pressure: 2.5 MPa) at 160 °C. The experimental results and the results obtained using the DFT technique revealed that the high catalytic activity realized during the processes of ring-opening and hydrogenation could be attributed to the synergistic effect between the Cu species and Brønsted acid sites. The Brønsted acid sites on the Si(OH)Al groups significantly affect the ring-opening process of furfuryl alcohol. The methoxy group on furfuryl alcohol adsorbs on the Cu+ sites, and the hydrogenation saturation of the ring-opening intermediate is realized under the influence of the activated hydrogen units on the Cu0 sites. The results reported herein could help promote the continuous production of high value-added pentanediol from biomass-based raw materials in the presence of non-noble metal catalysts. An economical and feasible path for the transformation of biomass resources into high value-added fine chemicals could also be developed.

Trace-Cu(II)/CaO 2 /PAC achieves > 95% algal removal in natural waters. • Pre-oxidation degrades algal extracellular matter to aid coagulation. • PAC mitigates matrix interference, indirectly maintaining oxidation. • Intracellular ROS induces functional death without severe lysis. Harmful algal blooms release microcystins and other metabolites that threaten aquatic ecosystems and human health. Conventional removal methods often induce cell lysis and are affected by matrix interference in natural waters, limiting their practical applicability. A sequential process coupling trace-Cu(II)/CaO 2 pre-oxidation with PAC coagulation was developed for efficient algal removal. The system removed 98.5% of M. aeruginosa from lake water. During the 10-min pre-oxidation stage, trace-Cu(II)/CaO 2 effectively degraded extracellular microcystin-LR (MC-LR) and the dissolved organic matter (DOM) surrounding algal cells, thereby weakening electrostatic repulsion and enhancing coagulation efficiency. The coupled process generated Cu(III), •OH, •O 2 − , and 1 O 2 within the cells, which led to functional cell death without severe membrane rupture. Conventional molecular dynamics (MD) simulations confirmed the stability of a representative pentameric cation-channel model, and steered molecular dynamics (SMD) further showed that Cu 2+ and H 2 O 2 could be guided through its pore under an applied axial bias, supporting the physical plausibility of channel-mediated intracellular access. Mechanistically, OH − generated during CaO 2 hydrolysis promoted the Cu(II)/Cu(I)/Cu(III) catalytic cycle and sustained reactive species production, with Cu(III) as the dominant contributor to functional inactivation (68.5%). These findings establish an innovative and practical strategy for the safe and effective removal of algae from contaminated natural waters.

A novel copper/copper(I) oxide@carbon (Cu/Cu2O@C) core–shell nanocomposite monodispersed on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (defined as Cu/Cu2O@C-rGO) was synthesized using a one-step calcination of Cu-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs)/graphene oxide (GO) composite structure. The size of the resultant Cu/Cu2O@C core–shell nanoparticles (NPs) on the rGO layers were mainly distributed in range of about 90–100 nm with good dispersion, which was characterized using transmission electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry and thermogravimetric analyses were also carried out to characterize the structure and composition of the Cu/Cu2O@C-rGO. The catalytic performance of the Cu/Cu2O@C-rGO composite was evaluated using a reduction reaction from 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol. It was demonstrated that the Cu/Cu2O@C-rGO composite exhibited an excellent catalytic performance, which can reach a nearly 100% conversion rate in 90 s with 0.1 mg of catalyst. This catalyst also showed a good performance for the degradation of other organic dyes such as methylene blue, methyl orange and rhodamine B. Additionally, the core–shell structure exhibited good stability and reusability for the reduction reaction, which was because of its relatively better oxidation resistance than that of the bare Cu NPs. This research provided an efficient and stable non-noble metal-based catalyst derived from the MOF/GO structure.

Direct photocatalytic CO 2 conversion to C 2 products holds notable potential, but this technology is still limited by the high thermodynamic energy and sluggish kinetics. By introducing Cu in In 4 SnS 8 catalyst, we here developed low S vacancies and chemical reactive sites photocatalysts Cu-In 4 SnS 8 , enabling photocatalytic CO 2 to ethanol with full selectivity. Minor electron paramagnetic resonance peak intensity and large formation energy for S-vacancy suggest Cu introduction suppresses S vacancies formation. Low S vacancies photocatalysts Cu-In 4 SnS 8 possess excellent carrier transfer and separation ability by the steady photoluminescence and transient fluorescence characteristic results. Furthermore, in situ, FTIR measurements confirmed ethanol formation via the presence of the intermediates *COOH, *CO, *OCCO(H), and *OCH 2 CH 3 . Also, theory calculations reveal that Cu efficiently reduces the energy barriers of the rate-limiting steps of *COOH and *COH, and promotes C-C coupling and multi-proton coupled electron transfer processes by co-adsorption and asymmetric charge distribution effects. As a result, the optimized sample achieves 0.73 μmol h −1 CH 3 CH 2 OH generation with full selectivity.

Ammonia borane (NH 3 BH 3 ) as a solid chemical hydrogen storage material with a high hydrogen content can be hydrolyzed under mild conditions to release hydrogen. In this work, Fe–Ni–B/Cu(OH) 2 –Cu foam was synthesized by combining in situ growth and electroless plating. Compared with the binary Fe–B/Cu(OH) 2 –Cu foam and Ni–B/Cu(OH) 2 –Cu foam prepared by the same method, the ternary Fe–Ni–B/Cu(OH) 2 –Cu foam has superior catalytic performance. The Fe–Ni–B/Cu(OH) 2 –Cu foam catalyst was able to achieve a maximum hydrogen production rate of 5.6 ml min −1 cm −2 at 298 K with an activation energy as low as 46.3 kJ mol −1 . And more importantly, its catalytic efficiency has hardly decayed after ten cycles. These excellent properties are due to its low activation energy and the large specific surface, multi–site Cu(OH) 2 –Cu–foam carrier.

Regulating oxidation state of Cu-based chalcogenides catalysts during electrolysis is of great significance for efficient CO 2 electrochemical reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) to methanol, which still remains a dramatic challenge. Herein, we construct a heterogeneous Cu 3 VS 4 /CuS electrocatalyst (denoted as CuV x S), in which the in-situ growing Cu-S-V bonds avoid the accumulated electrons on oxidized Cu sites and inhibit the deep reduction of CuS to metallic Cu during electrolysis, maintaining stable and abundant reactive Cu + /Cu 2+ species to promote CO 2 RR performance to methanol. By this design, the CuV 0.1 S catalyst achieves an ultrahigh methanol selectivity of 79.8 %. In-situ FTIR measurement reveals that the synergistic effect of Cu + /Cu 2+ species and Cu-S-V bonding facilitates the *CO adsorption and the subsequent *CO hydrogenation process, which improve the generation of *CHO and *OCH 3 intermediates for enhanced methanol selectivity. This work provides a new insight into stabilizing high oxidation state of Cu-based electrocatalyst to maintain sufficient active sites for CO 2 RR.

As a synthetic estrogen, diethylstilbestrol (DES) residues in water pose a threat to human health. In this work, a novel electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) aptamer sensor based on NCDs@Ag 3 PO 4 as a resonance energy transfer donor and Cu 2+ doped Eu MOF (Cu: Eu MOF) as an efficient resonance energy transfer acceptor for the detection of diethylstilbestrol (DES) was proposed for the first time. The aptamer sensor uses Ag 3 PO 4 nanoparticles loaded with nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (NCDs) as the ECL emitter, which improves the electron transfer efficiency of the sensor and promotes the generation of SO 4 ·- radicals, thereby improving the luminescence intensity and stability of the ECL sensor. The energy acceptor Cu: Eu MOF binds to the apt on NCDs@Ag 3 PO 4 by complementary base pairing through complementary DNA (cDNA). When DES is present in the sample, DES competes with the energy acceptor. The stronger interaction between DES and apt leads to the shedding of Cu: Eu MOF-cDNA from the electrode and the recovery of ECL signal. Based on this, under optimal conditions, the linear range of the sensor for detecting DES is 1.0 × 10 −13 –1.0 × 10 −6 M, and the detection limit is 7.4 × 10 −14 M (S/N = 3). The developed aptasensor showed excellent recognition ability for residual DES in actual water samples. The sensor has superior measurement ability and potential application value in the field of environmental water quality monitoring.

Conventional advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) face technological bottlenecks in the stepwise treatment of heavy metal complexes (HMCs), and single-step removal strategies have attracted increasing attention. Herein, we pioneered a waste-derived strategy using NdFeB waste (NFBW) to activate H 2 O 2 for establishing a heterogeneous Fenton-like system, achieving concurrent Cu-EDTA decomplexation and Cu capture. Remarkably, 99.10 % Cu-EDTA decomplexation and 96.84 % total Cu capture were synchronously achieved within 30 min. This one-step technology is effective over a wide pH range (2.0–9.5). Notably, this system demonstrated practical efficacy in treating rare-earth purification wastewater, achieving synchronous removal of heavy metals (Cu, Zn) and rare-earth elements (Yb, Ce) as mixed organic complexes with effluent meeting industrial discharge standards. Mechanistic investigations revealed that Cu-EDTA decomplexation originated from Fe(Ⅲ)-induced ligand substitution coupled with reactive oxygen species (·OH and ·O 2 - ) attack. The ≡Fe(Ⅱ)/≡Fe(Ⅲ)-mediated heterogeneous Fenton reaction synergized with homogeneous Fe(Ⅱ)/Fe(Ⅲ) cycling to generate ROSs, where the B-B bonds and Fe 0 in NFBW facilitated electron transfer for enhanced redox cycling. Possible pathways for the decomplexation of Cu-EDTA in this system are proposed. The 90.10 % TOC removal verified EDTA mineralization through stepwise degradation pathways. Liberated Cu(Ⅱ) was captured via multiple routes: surface reduction (Cu 0 ), precipitation (Cu(OH) 2 , Cu 2 (OH) 2 CO 3 ), and Fe(OH) 3 adsorption-flocculation. This work not only opens new avenues for Fenton-like treatment of HMC wastewater through a “waste-treats-waste” strategy but also provides new ideas for synergistic activation of H 2 O 2 by multivalent iron materials.

Particle-reinforced composite fillers allow precise control of joint microstructure to enhance mechanical performance. However, traditional designs often reduce joint deformability and face issues like particle agglomeration and poor interfacial wettability. To overcome these limitations, a micro-network of Cu-Ti reinforcements within the brazing seam via Ag- x TiH 2 composite filler was developed in this work, which enabled the fabrication of high-strength Si 3 N 4 /Cu joints. Optimal results were achieved with the Ag-4TiH 2 filler, wherein a eutectic liquid formed at the Ag-4TiH 2 /Cu interface during the initial brazing stage. Simultaneously, undissolved Ti reacts with Cu to yield submicron Cu 4 Ti 3 -dominated reinforcements. On the Si 3 N 4 surface, hypostoichiometric TiN/TiN 0 . 61 /TiN 0 . 5 nanocrystals grow sequentially, which is beneficial for enhancing interfacial wettability and bonding reliability. A maximum average shear strength of 186.9 MPa was obtained, a 57.6 % improvement over the conventional AgCuTi filler. The fracture mechanism underwent a notable transformation: brittle failure at mixed regions of Si 3 N 4 and the reaction layer in AgCuTi joints was replaced by ductile failure at the interface between the Cu matrix and the brazing seam in Ag-4TiH 2 joints. The Cu 4 Ti 3 -dominated micro-network offers distinct advantages by enabling controllable in-situ growth that prevents agglomeration while maintaining joint deformability through the synergy effect of the abundant retention of ductile Ag(s, s) and decent elastic modulus and yield strength increment, and regulates the interface reaction to yield a thinner Ti-N layer instead of a TiN/Ti 5 Si 3 dual-layer. These features collectively contribute to the notable mitigation of residual stress within Si 3 N 4 /Cu joints.

A composite catalyst was prepared by mechanically mixing Cu-SSZ-13 and MnCeTiO x to improve selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO x by ammonia. The optimal mass ratio of Cu-SSZ-13 and MnCeTiO x components in the composite catalysts was 1:1, where the NO x conversion was improved by around 40% in the temperature range of 150–300 °C compared with Cu-SSZ-13 alone. MnCeTiO x presented significantly stronger ability on the activation of NO to nitrates species than Cu-SSZ-13. Infrared (IR) and density functional theory (DFT) results showed that active nitrates intermediate on MnCeTiO x might migrate to Cu-SSZ-13, which assisted the oxidation of single Cu + to Cu 2+ to complete the Cu redox cycle. This avoided the rate-determining step that formation and oxidation of Cu + dimers in low-temperature SCR over Cu-SSZ-13. The research results are beneficial to the rational design of SCR catalysts with high-performance at low temperatures.

The scale effect of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) plays a pivotal role in governing the mechanical behavior of Al-Cu composites. To investigate this, a series of composites incorporating intermetallic compounds (IMCs) of varying dimensions was fabricated. Experimental results reveal that the mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients between the IMCs and the Al matrix induces interfacial strain gradients. At the nanoscale, these gradients facilitate the nucleation of fault networks that effectively impede dislocation motion by reducing the mean free path, thereby surpassing the limitations predicted by the conventional Hall–Petch relationship. Moreover, nanoscale IMCs serve as dislocation pinning sites, thereby activating the Orowan strengthening mechanism. In contrast, micron-scale IMCs demonstrate limited ability to form dislocation loops, and the stacking faults (SFs) generated during stress relaxation become sources of mobile dislocations. The acceleration of dislocation at phase boundaries leads to stress concentration and premature failure. These insights provide valuable guidance for the structural and compositional design of metal matrix composites .
