Sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) are widely used in veterinary medicine but are poorly metabolized in biological systems; thus, they can cause a selective pressure to promote the proliferation of antibiotic resistant pathogens and threaten human health. Persulfate (PS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been applied for SA degradation, but using transition metal ions as PS activators is relatively limited. In this study, sulfamethazine (SMZ) was used as a model SA to evaluate the performance of a Cu 2+ -activated PS system. Cu 2+ -PS exhibited better SMZ removal than other metal ions, and 25 mg/L SMZ can be degraded in the presence of 0.2 mM Cu 2+ and 2.5 g L −1 PS within 120 min. Various anions inhibited SMZ degradation to different degrees except HCO 3 − . Among the cations, Fe 3+ significantly inhibited SMZ removal, while Ni 2+ increased the removal rate. High concentrations of humic acid and protein also increased the degradation rate of SMZ. Radical and singlet oxygen quenching experiments, together with the results of electron spin-resonance spectroscopy (ESR), showed that the main active species generated from Cu 2+ -PS are SO 4 · - and ·OH. The degradation pathway of SMZ was identified through HPLC-HRMS. Direct SO 4 · - and ·OH oxidation products of SMZ were not found, suggesting that the complex formed between Cu 2+ and SMZ may affect the fate of SMZ. On the other hand, the efficiency and selectivity of Cu 2+ -PS against different SAs were confirmed. Overall, this study provides a facile and effective method for SMZ and other SA removal.

A simple strategy to fabricate a fluorescent SiO2@zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) core–shell nanosensor for Cu2+ detection was demonstrated in this work. The nanosensor was synthesized using carboxyl-functionalized SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) as a template to induce the growth of ZIF-8 on its surface. The porous SiO2@ZIF-8 exhibited extremely good adsorption properties and a large specific surface area to accumulate Cu2+, and the pyridyl nitrogen sites in imidazole played vital roles in the recognition of Cu2+. The fluorescent intensity decreased linearly with the increasing of Cu2+ concentration in the range of 10–500 nM and the detection limit was estimated to be 3.8 nM. The SiO2@ZIF-8 nanosensor could be further used to determine trace amounts of Cu2+ in real water samples, while some previous sensors had to be dispersed in organic solution for use, such as DMSO and MeCN. The core–shell nanostructures of SiO2@ZIF-8 made it possible for it to be dispersed directly in aqueous solution and prevented ZIF-8 from aggregation, which enhanced the sensing performance of the SiO2@ZIF-8 nanosensor.

Here, using Fe3O4@SiO2as a precursor, a novel core-shell structure magnetic Cu2+adsorbent (Fe3O4@zeolite NaA) was successfully prepared. Several methods, namely X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) were used to characterize the adsorbent. A batch experiment was conducted to study the Cu2+adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA at different pH values, contact time, initial Cu2+concentration and adsorbent does. It is found that the saturated adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA on Cu2+is 86.54 mg/g. The adsorption isotherm analysis shows that the adsorption process of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA to Cu2+is more consistent with the Langmuir model, suggesting that it is a monolayer adsorption. Adsorption kinetics study found that the adsorption process of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA to Cu2+follows the pseudo-second kinetics model, which means that the combination of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA and Cu2+is the chemical chelating reaction. Thermodynamic analysis shows that the adsorption process of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA to Cu2+is endothermic, with increasing entropy and spontaneous in nature. The above results show that Fe3O4@zeolite NaA is a promising Cu2+adsorbent.

Copper-based catalysts show considerable promise in the electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) for the production of hydrocarbons and oxygenates, particularly methane (CH 4 ), which is a highly reduced product. The high-valent state of copper (Cu) exerts a positive influence on the formation pathway of CH 4 , but the reduction potential will lead to a decrease in the valence state during CO 2 RR. In this study, a highly crystalline and structurally well-defined Y 2 Cu 2 O 5 catalyst is constructed to stabilize Cu 2+ with the orderly alternating Y─O skeleton layer, owing to the strong bonding interaction. The Y 2 Cu 2 O 5 exhibits a remarkable enhancement in CH 4 selectivity compared to CuO (up to 9.59-folds), achieving a selectivity of 61.3% at 300 mA cm −2 and 58.4% at 400 mA cm −2 , together with good stability. In situ attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectra (ATR-FTIR) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the presence of the Y─O skeleton layer in Y 2 Cu 2 O 5 significantly enhances the adsorption of *CO intermediate, and accelerates its hydrogenation process, facilitating the conversion of CO 2 to CH 4 . This work highlights Y─O skeleton-mediated stabilization of Cu 2+ for efficient electroreduction of CO 2 to CH 4 , providing valuable insights into the design of efficient electrocatalysts for CO 2 conversion.

A special fluorescent probe has been developed, one that demonstrated excellent “off-on-type” change in fluorescence with high selectivity toward Cu2+. Interestingly, the probe–Cu2+ complex could detect cysteine due to the ability of this amino acid to strongly coordinate Cu2+, and no obvious interference was observed from other amino acids and anions. According to the proposed mechanism, addition of cysteine induced decomplexation of the probe–Cu2+ form. Furthermore, the results of confocal microscopy experiments demonstrated the potential of using the probe to image Cu2+ in living cells and mice.

Among various advanced oxidation processes , coupling photocatalysis and Fenton-like reactions can overcome the inherent drawbacks of the single technology , which is usually used to remove organic contaminants from wastewater. In this paper, Cu 2 (OH) 3 F/BiOBr composites with (010) facets exposed surface were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The degradation efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) solution with Cu 2 (OH) 3 F/BiOBr composite in the photo-Fenton-like system reached 98.8 % within 60 min, and the degradation activity was 4.18 and 2.46 times considerably greater than those of photocatalytic and Fenton-like reactions, respectively. After 5 cycles, the degradation efficiency was still maintained at 89.8 %, demonstrating the exceptional stability of the catalyst. Moreover, based on the characterization of the catalyst, it was found that the high exposure of the crystal plane of the BiOBr material (010) not only speeds up the electron transport between Cu 2 (OH) 3 F and BiOBr and improves the rapid conversion of Cu 2+ ions, but also slows down the rapid electron-hole recombination. Then the free radicals during the reaction were captured, which found that ·OH, ·O 2 − and h + were the main active components in this synergistic degradation system. Finally, the mechanism of Cu 2 (OH) 3 F/BiOBr (010) heterojunction photo-Fenton-like synergistic degradation was proposed. This work can provide an effective pathway for the removal of antibiotics from wastewater.

A type I core/shell structured Bi2S3@ZnS photocatalyst was synthesized by an electrostatic interaction mechanism and used for the photoelectrochemical detection of Cu2+. The Bi2S3@ZnS composite showed excellent photoelectrochemical activity and stability due to the high photoelectrochemical activity of Bi2S3 and the anti-photocorrosion function of the ZnS shell. In addition, the ZnS shell also provided a transfer platform for the photogenerated holes through its acceptor states (i.e. VZn and IS) and suppressed the recombination of photogenerated carriers. The photocurrent signal of the obtained Bi2S3@ZnS/ITO electrode was much higher than that of pure Bi2S3 under visible-light irradiation. When it was used for the photoelectrochemical sensing of Cu2+, a wide detection range (0.003–30.0 μM) and a low detection limit (0.001 μM) were observed. The sensor also displayed high stability and acceptable selectivity. It was applied to detect real samples and good results were achieved.

The removal of heavy metal ions in wastewater has a great significance to human health and environment protection. Metal organic framework possesses high surface area, rich porosity, tunable pore size and abundant active sites. However, the intrinsic aggregation and fragility of MOF nanoparticles make its poor adsorption and undesirable reusage. Herein, a facile and unique hot-pressing method is adopted to decorate the MOF nanoparticles on nickel foam (ZIF-8/NF), which simultaneously serves as self-supporting substrate of ZIF-8 nanoparticles and electrode of a self-powered multifunctional purification system. In adsorption, the ZIF-8/NF composite presents high Cu2+ removal rate of 49.5% with the concentration of 10 mg/100 ml. More importantly, integrating with electrochemistry, the Cu2+ removal rate of the ZIF-8/NF composite reaches 54.7% in 5 min. The superior performance is attributed to the comprehensive effects of ion exchange, chemical bonding and physical adsorption. Moreover, the low-cost, fast and scalable preparation contributes to commercially fabricate MOF nanoparticles on self-supported substrate to treat wastewater with high efficiency and good recyclability.

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms in eutrophic water bodies have frequently occurred worldwide and become a major environmental concern. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a stable and efficient algaecide to solve this issue. In this study, our purpose was to investigate the efficacy and mechanism of a newly developed Cu 2+ doped Fe 3 O 4 @Biochar magnetic composite (Cu-Mag-BC) in in-situ inactivation of Microcystis aeruginosa ( M. aeruginosa ) . We successfully synthesized the Cu-Mag-BC by coating Cu 2+ onto Fe 3 O 4 @Biochar. Cu-Mag-BC exhibited superparamagnetic behavior and was uniformly impregnated by Cu 2+ . Cu-Mag-BC (5 mg/L), rapidly inactivated chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) in M. aeruginosa with low Fe and Cu leaching, during which time the OD 264 value and malondialdehyde (MDA) content increased, while the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) first increased and then decreased, due to oxidative stress induced by over-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). Quantitative results showed that ·O 2 − and ·OH were the main ROS species produced from Cu-Mag-BC. Inactivation efficiency was maintained at approximately 80 % after three consecutive runs and total Chl-a removal efficiency reached 2.84 g/g, indicating good reusability and stability. A possible inactivation mechanism is proposed; amino groups and adipose chain were the primary oxidation sites. Thus, Cu-Mag-BC shows potential as a candidate for simultaneously inactivating harmful cyanobacteria and preventing secondary pollution.

Polymeric nanoparticles that can respond to a specific tumor microenvironment (TME) show great potential as anticancer agents. In this study, a highly water-soluble polymeric nanoparticle BPP was obtained via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The strong tendency of self-aggregation of the grafted aromatic benzoperylene facilitated the self-assembly of the polymer into nanoparticles. BPP showed strong excimer emission and could chelate with various metal ions with quenched emission. Cu2+ was then chelated with BPP to form BPC nanoparticles, which were subsequently used as chemodynamic therapy agents. After entering into the cancer cells, BPC could deplete GSH and produce Cu+. Cu+ reacted with intracellular H2O2 and generated toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) via the Fenton-like reaction, which had a fast reaction rate in TME. Because of the high GSH and H2O2 concentrations in tumor cells, BPC NPs exhibited selective cytotoxicity to cancer cells. Additionally, the excimer fluorescence of BPC recovered after entering into the cancer cells, denoting the potential for real time tracking/visualization of drug delivery. The in vivo results also demonstrate that BPC NPs efficiently inhibited tumor growth without obvious systemic toxicity. As a novel Cu2+ chelated polymeric nanomaterial responsive to TME, BPC NPs show excellent potential in chemodynamic cancer therapy.

Detecting dopamine (DA) in biological samples is vital to understand its crucial role in numerous physiological processes, such as motion, cognition, and reward stimulus. In this work, p-type graphene on sapphire, synthesized via chemical vapor deposition, serves as substrate for the preparation of p-type Cu 2-x S films through solid-phase sulfurization. The optimized Cu 2-x S/graphene heterostructure, prepared at 250 °C using a 15-nm copper film sulfurized for 2 h, exhibits superior electron transfer performance, ideal for electrochemical sensing. It is confirmed that the spontaneous charge transfer from graphene to Cu 2-x S, higher Cu(II)/Cu(I) ratio (~ 0.8), and the presence of well-defined nanocrystalline structures with an average size of ~ 35 nm in Cu 2-x S significantly contribute to the improved electron transfer of the heterostructure. The electrochemical sensor based on Cu 2-x S/graphene heterostructure demonstrates remarkable sensitivity towards DA, with a detection limit as low as 100 fM and a dynamic range greater than 10 9 from 100 fM to 100 μM. Additionally, it exhibits excellent selectivity even in the presence of uric acid and ascorbic acid 100 times higher, alongside notable storage and measurement stability and repeatability. Impressively, the sensor also proves capable of detecting DA concentrations as low as 100 pM in rat serum, showcasing its potential for clinically relevant analytes and promising applications in sensitive, selective, reliable, and efficient point-of-care diagnostics.

In this study, a highly selective chemosensor ML based on a BODIPY fluorescent chromophore was synthesized for sequential recognition of Cu2+ and HSO3− in a CH3OH/H2O (99 : 1 v/v) system, which contained three recognition sites and its structure characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI-HR-MS. The sensor ML showed an obvious “on–off” fluorescence quenching response toward Cu2+ and the ML-Cu2+ complex showed an “off–on” fluorescence enhancement response toward HSO3−. The detection limit of the sensor ML was 0.36 μM to Cu2+ and 1.4 μM to HSO3−. In addition, the sensor ML showed a 1 : 3 binding stoichiometry to Cu2+ and the recovery rate of ML-Cu2+ complex identifying HSO3− could be over 70%. Sensor ML showed remarkable detection ability in a pH range of 4–8.
