Significant efforts have been devoted to the investigation of catalysts for converting CO2 into C2+ products. Cu catalysts are attractive for their initial selectivities but limited by the low stability over time. Herein we investigated the stability of Cu catalysts in an operating CO2RR environment. Hydroxides in electrolytes were found to play a key role in morphology evolution of Cu catalysts and thus result in decreasing Faradaic efficiencies of C2+ products. To this end, we deposited a porous carbon overlay on Cu catalysts through a thermal annealing method. Physical characterizations and electrochemical measurements showed that the morphology of Cu catalysts and Faradaic efficiencies of products were well maintained during the reaction. As evidenced by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with phenolphthalein as a probe, the added carbon overlay could effectively resist the influence of hydroxide corrosion on Cu catalysts. This study provides an efficient strategy to improve the stability of copper catalysts toward electrochemical CO2 reduction.

Faujasite (FAU)-type zeolites are promising adsorbents for the removal of sulfides from fuels, but their micropores are not capable to accommodate the large-sized thiophenic compounds. FAU zeolites (NaX and NaY with the low and high Si:Al ratios, respectively) with hierarchical micro/mesoporous structures were synthesized by sequential acid-base treatment to enhance the adsorption capacity and reduce the limitations of diffusion for the sulfides. To further to improve the desulfurization performance, the hierarchical structure of FAU zeolites containing Cu + were prepared by ion-exchange and methanol vapor-induced reduction methods at a relatively low temperature (473 K). For the large-sized benzothiophene , both the HP-Cu(I)Y and HP-Cu(I)X zeolites with mesopores have a very high adsorption capacity, reaching 51.8 mg S/g and 56.1 mg S/g, respectively. In addition, the results show that HP-Cu(I)X has a higher adsorption capacity than that of some other FAU-type adsorbents reported.

The surface metallization of zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) particles with Ni–Cu bimetallic coatings is performed by electroless plating assisted with choline chloride–ethylene glycol (ChCl-EG) ionic liquid. The possible reactions and deposition sequences of the plating process have been analyzed based on the micro-morphologies of the Ni–Cu coated ZTA (ZTA@Ni–Cu) particles obtained at different reaction stages. The roles of ChCl-EG additive, reaction temperature, and ZTA concentration on the surface morphology, coating thickness, and element content of the ZTA@Ni–Cu particles are also investigated. Results show that uniform cauliflower-characteristic Ni–Cu coatings are formed on ZTA surfaces with 35 g·L−1 ChCl-EG at 65°C. The coating thickness is about 26.9 μm, and the element contents of Cu and Ni are 38.1 at% and 61.9 at%, respectively. Besides, a schematic illustration about the fabrication of ZTA@Ni–Cu particles is proposed to elaborate the formation process of Ni–Cu coatings and the function mechanism of ChCl-EG additive.

In this work, we prepared a type of LiZnTiCu ferrite with a large grain size and enhanced magnetic properties at ∼900 °C by substituting Cu 2+ ions and doping LBSCA glass. Rietveld refinement of XRD patterns indicates that the Fe 3+ ions in B sites are partially replaced by the Cu 2+ ions, which causes the monotone increase of lattice constant . SEM results show that the interaction of CuO nanoparticles and LBSCA glass causes two changes in the grain growth of the LiZnTiCu ferrites. The grain growth is suppressed when the amount of CuO nanoparticles is less than a threshold value (x = 0.05 for 900 °C; x = 0.20 for 875 °C). However, when enough CuO nanoparticles are added, the ferrites possess a large and compact microstructure. The variation of magnetic hysteresis ( M - H ) loops confirms that M s follows the Néel's collinear spinel model with the increasing number of CuO nanoparticles (x ≤ 0.25). Finally, a type of LiZnTiCu ferrite (x = 0.15) with uniform large grains (average size >10 μm) and good magnetic parameters (4π M s = 3457.59 G, H c = 224.4 A/m and B s = 236.4 mT) is obtained at ∼900 °C.

Ethylene (C2H4) is an important product in carbon dioxide electroreduction (CO2RR) because of the essential role it plays in chemical industry. While several strategies have been proposed to tune the selectivity of Cu-based catalysts in order to achieve high C2H4 faradaic efficiency, maintaining high selectivity toward C2H4 in CO2RR remains an unresolved problem hampering the deployment of CO2 conversion technology due to the lack of stable electrocatalysts. Here, we develop a facile method to deposit a layer of Cu2O on Cu foil by an electrochemical pulsed potential treatment. This method is capable to easily scale up and synthesize multiple electrodes in one step. After the synthesis, the pulsed copper foil, denoted as P-Cu, exhibits good C2H4 faradaic efficiency of ∼50% in CO2RR at a potential around −1.0 V vs. RHE. The C2H4 selectivity is also found to be quantitatively correlated with the roughness factor (RF) of Cu-based catalysts. More importantly, for the first time, we demonstrate that the P-Cu electrode is quite durable in CO2RR to produce C2H4 for more than 6 months.

Water-soluble Cu-In-Zn-S quantum dots (CIZS QDs) with orange fluorescence have been synthesized with a glutathione (GSH) as stabilizer via facile a one-step hydrothermal method. The optimal reaction conditions of CIZS QDs including temperature, time, pH, and the molar ratios of precursors were studied. TEM results indicate that the aqueous-dispersible CIZS QDs are quasi-spherical, and the average diameters are 3.76 nm with excellent fluorescent stability. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of CIZS QDs was investigated by the microcalorimetry combining with TEM and the IC50 was 10.2 μM. CIZS QDs showed a promising perspective in applications such as a fluorescent probe for bioimaging and biolabeling due to the low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Moreover, the CIZS QDs can distinguish Pb2+ ion from other ions, offering great potentials in lead ion determination in drinking water. According to the results of UV, XRD, FL, PL, and ITC methods, the mechanism of CIZS QDs-Pb2+ assay is due to hydrogen bonding or van der Waals forces in the formation of Pb2+ and CIZS QDs.

The transformation of CO 2 into value-added products is a hot research topic. Metal copper as an electrochemical catalyst shows activity for generating multi-carbon products in CO 2 electroreduction. Herein, Cu 2 S nanorods/copper mesh (Cu 2 S/CM) is successfully fabricated, and exhibits high performance of CO 2 electroreduction to ethanol. At −0.8 V vs RHE , it achieved the Faraday efficiency (FE) of 13.5%, the partial current density of 13.3 mA cm −2 and the yield of 986.4 μmol L −1 h −1 for ethanol. Experiments and theoretical calculations indicated that the high performance is benefits from the high density of Cu 0 and Cu + pairs derived from Cu 2 S/CM during CO 2 electroreduction and an appropriate surface Cu 0 /Cu + ratio of 0.17. The Cu 0 –Cu + sites facilitate the adsorption of key intermediate *CH 2 CHO and decrease the energy barrier of the ethanol pathway. This work provides not only a new comprehension of CO 2 electroreduction with Cu 2 S catalyst but also a design idea based on Cu 0 –Cu + sites in Cu/Cu 2 S catalyst.

In this study, high-performance fine-grained W-Cu sintered blocks with the addition of dispersed Al 2 O 3 particles were successfully produced by low temperature liquid-phase sintering, using the raw material of ultrafine W-Cu alloy powder. The ultrafine W-Cu alloy powder was obtained by a two-step reduction process composed of stages of carbothermal reaction and hydrogen deep deoxidation. The fine Al 2 O 3 grains with uniform distribution in W-Cu alloy were introduced by spray method, leading to the decrease of W grain size and W-W connectivity. The relative densities of all sintered blocks were>97%, and a higher degree of densification ensures that the alloy has excellent comprehensive properties. With the increase of Al 2 O 3 content, W grain size and W-W connectivity of sintered W-Cu samples decrease from 664 nm to 472 nm and 0.2 to 0.14, respectively. The W-Cu alloy with the ultimate tensile strength of 415 MPa and the highest elongation of 7.22% was obtained when the addition amount of Al 2 O 3 was 0.5 wt%. At the same time, it also possessed the maximum bending strength of 1028 MPa and microhardness of 312 HV, respectively. In addition, due to the good network structure of Cu and uniform three-phase distribution, the sintered samples had excellent conductivity and compressive strength.

The bottlenecks of photocatalytic nitrogen fixation are adsorption and activation of nitrogen, because N–N bond in dinitrogen is one of the strongest bonds in chemistry . Herein, for the first time, Cu-doped MIL-101(Fe) was applications in photocatalytic nitrogen fixation. The photocatalytic nitrogen fixation activity of Cu-MIL-101(Fe) is three times that of MIL-101(Fe). Characteristic of MIL-101(Fe) and Cu-MIL-101(Fe) are systematically compared by XRD , SEM, TEM, BET, PL and energy band structure . These results indicated that the Cu doping not only enlarge the specific surface area from 1413 m 2 /g to 2097 m 2 /g, but also increase the photoreduction capability from −0.13 V to −0.7 V. These results indicated that nitrogen adsorption and activation capacity can be improved by Cu doping. By combining metal ions doping and components regulation of MOFs , this work provides many future opportunities for enhance photocatalytic nitrogen fixation activity.

Surface modification by metal ion has been considered a promising strategy to enhance the photocatalytic activity by extending optical response and improving charge separation and transportation. Here, univalent copper species were modified on ZnIn 2 S 4 photocatalyst via an in-situ photodeposition method, exhibiting a much higher H 2 evolution rate of 41.10 ± 3.43 mmol g −1 h −1 and an impressive apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of 20.81% at 420 ± 15 nm. Our characterizations indicate that the surface modification by copper species can broaden light utilization as well as promote charge separation and transportation. Besides, the density functional theory (DFT) results further exhibit that the energy levels (LUMO and HOMO) for copper-surface modified ZnIn 2 S 4 present spatial separation, locating on the Zn-S and In-S layers, respectively, which can suppress the recombination of electron and hole and thus achieves higher photocatalytic H 2 evolution efficiency.

Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) describes the phenomenon whereby fluid-conducting vessels are formed by highly invasive tumour cells, which supply blood to tumours during their early growth stages. Single antiangiogenic agents have limited inhibitory effects on VM, therefore, a multi-pathway anti-VM strategy is required. In this study, Apatinib (Apa) was coordinated with Cu2+ to form a Cu-Apa copper complex. The latter was loaded into oligo-hyaluronic acid (HA) polymeric micelles (HA-Chol) and subsequently embedded in Astragalus polysaccharide-based in situ hydrogels (APsGels) to generate Cu-Apa/HA-Chol@APsGels. In this system, Cu-Apa exerts the combined effects of Cu2+ and Apa to inhibit VM; HA-Chol micelles achieve targeted drug delivery and enhance endocytosis efficiency; APsGels realise sustained release of the drugs to ensure an anti-VM effect. This system demonstrated improved VM inhibition with low cytotoxicity and high biocompatibility, wound healing, and transwell invasion in three-dimensional cell cultured VM. Moreover, this system significantly inhibited VM formation and melanoma growth in a mouse tumour transplantation model. This study provides an effective strategy for inhibiting VM.

Self-powered photodetectors are great potential candidates in the next generation of low energy-consumption photoelectric devices. However, the planar-type metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) self-powered photodetectors (PDs) of perovskites still suffer from poor photodetection performance. Herein, by taking advantage of the spontaneous polarization property of the CH3NH3PbI3 single crystal, which can generate an extra polarization electric field, planar-type self-powered Au/CH3NH3PbI3/Cu PDs with preferable photodetection capability is reported. The resultant PDs exhibit the maximum responsivity of 0.288 A W−1 in 400–840 nm under the superposed built-in electric field by spontaneous polarization and asymmetric Schottky junction. Furthermore, the maximum detectivity is 4.69 × 1012 Jones, which is the highest record among the planar-type MSM self-powered PDs based on a perovskite. Moreover, the PDs exhibited excellent operation stability with the photocurrent of the unencapsulated photodetector remaining at 92% after 15 days in atmospheric condition.
