The development of efficient alkaline water electrolysis catalysts remains challenged by sluggish hydrogen evolution kinetics and insufficient active sites. Herein, a Cu-P-Co ternary electrocatalyst with pine-needle-like nanorod/nanosheet hybrid architecture is fabricated on nickel foam (Cu-P-Co/NF) via one-step electrodeposition. The introduction of Cu and P elements enables the formation of a well-defined Cu 3 P nanorod / Co 2 P nanosheet heterostructure. This unique hybrid architecture provides a vast number of accessible electrochemical active sites. Crucially, the advanced density functional theory (DFT) simulations elucidate that the established Cu 3 P@Co 2 P heterointerface drives substantial interfacial charge redistribution. This interfacial electronic interaction effectively modulates the local electronic structure of the Co sites, specifically inducing a downshift in the d-band center, which optimizes the hydrogen desorption free energy (ΔG H ⁎ ). More importantly, this electronic modulation directly optimizes the H 2 O adsorption free energy on the Co active centers, thereby significantly boosting their intrinsic HER activity in alkaline media. The Cu-P-Co/NF achieves an ultralow overpotential of 70 mV at 10 mA cm −2 in alkaline media, outperforming most reported Co-based electrocatalysts. This work demonstrates dual regulation of nanostructure engineering and electronic modulation under the ternary synergy through experimental coupling theory simulation calculation, providing a rational design paradigm for high-performance electrocatalysts.

Cu-based catalysts, which are regarded as the most promising catalysts for CO 2 conversion, suffer dramatic deactivation at high temperatures. In this work, LaFeO 3 , a typical perovskite-type oxide, is employed to disperse and stabilize Cu particles for the reverse water gas shift reaction. Compared to traditional Cu-based catalysts, Cu/LaFeO 3 exhibits a higher conversion with 100% CO selectivity and better stability at 873 K. Structural and spectroscopic characterization including N 2 O chemisorption, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, in situ x-ray diffraction, and x-ray absorption fine structure show that metallic Cu is well dispersed on LaFeO 3 , forming more Cu-LaFeO 3 interface. CO 2 temperature-programmed surface reaction (CO 2 -TPSR), two-step transient surface reaction (two-step TSR), and transient in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transformed spectroscopy experiments demonstrate that the superior activity is attributed to the synergistic effect between the highly dispersed Cu particles for H 2 dissociation and the abundant oxygen vacancies in LaFeO 3 support for CO 2 activation. The synergistic effect between metal and perovskite-type oxide increases metal-support interfaces and enhances CO 2 activation, leading to a potential application in a variety of chemical reactions.

Cu-MOF-derived Cu/Cu 2 O-embedded carbon integrated with MWCNTs-COOH. • Synergistic hetero-interface with Cu⁺ Lewis acid sites and conductive network. • Sensitive L -DOPA detection with 0.007 μM LOD and broad linear range. • Effective anti-interference against uric acid in biological matrices. • Validated applicability in human serum and urine samples (94.8–105.2%). Reliable monitoring of levodopa ( L -DOPA) is clinically crucial for optimizing Parkinson’s disease therapy and minimizing side effects. Herein, a sensitive electrochemical sensor was constructed using a composite of Cu-MOF-derived Cu/Cu 2 O-embedded carbon integrated with carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (C-Cu-MOF/MWCNTs-COOH). The key innovation of this work lies in designing a synergistic hetero-interface where carbonization yields Cu and Cu 2 O species within a carbon framework, while the incorporated MWCNTs-COOH establish a conductive network that facilitates electron transfer. The enhanced electrochemical response arises from the synergistic interaction between the mixed-valence copper species and the carbon framework. Specifically, Cu + serves as Lewis acid sites for L -DOPA enrichment while the carbon scaffold together with Cu 0 promotes interfacial electron transfer. Kinetic analysis reveals an adsorption-controlled process involving two-electron and two-proton transfer. Under optimized conditions, the sensor delivers a broad linear response (0.01–15 μM) with a low detection limit of 0.007 μM, alongside satisfactory repeatability, reproducibility, and long-term stability (94.3% retention after 21 days). Notably, uric acid (UA), a major coexisting interferent in physiological fluids with overlapping oxidation potential, is well resolved from L -DOPA at the modified electrode, causing negligible interference in coexistent measurements. Practical applicability is further validated by recoveries of 94.8–105.2% in human serum and urine samples. These results demonstrate that C-Cu-MOF/MWCNTs-COOH is a highly effective sensing platform for L -DOPA, combining excellent sensitivity, selectivity, and practical utility for clinical monitoring.

The growing concern about the environmental consequences of anthropogenic CO 2 emissions significantly stimulated the research of low-cost, efficient, and recyclable solid adsorbents of CO 2 capture. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a promising porous material for CO 2 adsorption. Hybrid materials consisting in copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (Cu-BTC) and Cu doped graphitic-carbon nitride (Cu-g-C 3 N 4 ) were prepared through solvothermal method as CO 2 adsorbent. The size range of Cu-BTC@1.8%Cu-g-C 3 N 4 was 9.0 ~ 19.4 μm, which was lower than the size range of Cu-BTC (14.6 ~ 29.6 μm). The hybrid adsorbents had lower Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas and pole volume due to the combination with Cu-g-C 3 N 4 . The CO 2 adsorption capacity of Cu-BTC@1.8%Cu-g-C 3 N 4 increased by 49.5% compared with that of pure Cu-BTC because of more adsorption sites including unsaturated metal centers and N atoms. Moreover, the Cu-BTC@1.8%Cu-g-C 3 N 4 had good stability in CO 2 adsorption capacity after multiple adsorption cycles. Graphical abstract

Hypothesis Despite that the development of Cu 2 SnS 3 (CTS) catalyst has attracted increasing interests, few study has reported to investigate its heterogeneous catalytic degradation of organic pollutants in a Fenton-like process. Furthermore, the influence of Sn components towards Cu (II)/Cu (I) redox cycling in CTS catalytic systems remains a fascinating research. Experiments In this work, a series of CTS catalysts with controlled crystalline phases were prepared via a microwave-assisted pathway and applied in the H 2 O 2 activation for phenol degradation. The efficiency of phenol degradation in CTS-1/H 2 O 2 system (CTS-1: the molar ratio of Sn (copper acetate) and Cu (tin dichloride) is determined to be Sn:Cu = 1:1) was systematically investigated by controlling various reaction parameters including H 2 O 2 dosage, initial pH and reaction temperature. We discovered that Cu 2 SnS 3 exhibited superior catalytic activity to the contrast monometallic Cu or Sn sulfides and Cu (I) acted as the dominant active sites. The higher Cu (I) proportions conduce to the higher catalytic activities of CTS catalysts. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) further proved that the activation of H 2 O 2 by CTS catalyst produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequently leads to degradation of the contaminants. A reasonable mechanism of enhanced H 2 O 2 activation in Fenton-like reaction of CTS/H 2 O 2 system was proposed for phenol degradation by investigating the roles of copper, tin and sulfur species. Findings The developed CTS acted as a promising catalyst in Fenton-like oxidation progress for phenol degradation. Importantly, the copper and tin species contribute to a synergetic effect for the promotion of Cu (II)/Cu (I) redox cycle, which thus enhanced the activation of H 2 O 2 . Our work may offer new insight on the facilitation of Cu (II)/Cu (I) redox cycle in Cu-based Fenton-like catalytic systems.

ZnO plate, dominantly exposed polar high energy (0 0 0 1) plane, was used to load Cu to build Cu/ZnO plate model catalyst. The catalyst was reduced in different atmospheres and then evaluated for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, quasi in situ X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, in situ UV-Raman, and CO 2 temperature programmed desorption characterizations have been carried out. The exploration results indicate that in situ tuning Cu nanoparticle (NP) morphology can be realized through varying reducing atmospheres. H 2 reduction induced the formation of small irregular spherical Cu NPs covered with large amount of migrated Zn, prompting CO 2 conversion and methanol synthesis . However, CO reduction induced the generation of ellipsoidal Cu NPs with medium size and low amount of migrated Zn, leading to poor catalytic performance for CO 2 hydrogenation. CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol displays apparent Cu NP morphology dependency over the Cu-ZnO based catalysts.

A series of Cu-Ce binary oxides were synthesized via a facile co-precipitation method for toluene catalytic oxidation. The physicochemical properties of these samples were characterized by BET, XRD, SEM, TEM, H 2 -TPR, O 2 -TPD, and XPS. It reveals that Cu 1 Ce 3 catalyst possesses a higher specific surface area, stronger Cu-Ce synergistic effect, and better low-temperature reducibility than other samples. Moreover, Cu 1 Ce 3 catalyst exhibited superior toluene oxidation activity with 99.10% toluene removal efficiency and 97.28% CO 2 selectivity at 200 °C, as well as satisfactory stability and moisture resistance. Therefore, Cu 1 Ce 3 catalyst indicates a huge potential for practical applications, such as coal-fired flue gas and spray coating industry. The reaction pathways for toluene catalytic oxidation over the Cu 1 Ce 3 catalyst were further illuminated by in-situ DRIFTs. In the main pathway, toluene molecules were firstly in contact with the interface lattice oxygen, then the abstraction of H atoms occurred on the methyl group, and benzyl alcohol is considered as the primary intermediate, during which the rate-determining step is the oxidation of benzyl alcohol. In the secondary pathway, a little proportion of toluene molecules were directly oxidized into benzoic acid by the chemisorbed oxygen species. In subsequent steps, all the intermediates were converted into CO 2 and H 2 O. At last, it is confirmed that the toluene oxidation over Cu 1 Ce 3 catalyst involves a Mars-van-Krevelen mechanism via this study.

The small amount of promoter has shown increase in the methanol formation rate by several folds. Hence, hydrotalcite having sufficient trivalent cations are preferred; however, traditional coprecipitation route often leads to poor Cu dispersion owing to higher cationic charge in the layered structure that result in aggregation of the sheets. The present paper reports synthesis of porous, nanostructured Cu/ZnO/Ga 2 O 3 catalysts from pure phase hydrotalcite precursors by using aqueous miscible organic solvent treatment method. The 20% Ga containing catalyst showed ca. 2.5-fold increase in both surface area and % dispersion of the exposed Cu as compared to that prepared from standard coprecipitation method with similar composition. The stabilization induced by mutual dispersion of Cu, Zn and Ga components in the exfoliated sheets resulted in confinement of the Cu particle size up to 5 nm in the spent catalyst. The best performing catalyst of the series, Cu 0.4 Zn 0.4 Ga 0.2 -LDO exhibited STY of 762 mg•g Cat −1 •h −1 for methanol formation from syngas which was decreased by only 8.6% during 50 h of the reaction on stream. Further, it was revealed that, Ga is more conductive to stabilization of Cu as compared to Al, resulting in 23% higher methanol formation rate as compared to the Al containing catalyst.

Z-scheme heterojunction can effectively separate photo-generated carriers and enhance photocatalytic activity of CO 2 reduction. In this work, we report indirect Z-scheme heterojunction of UiO-66-NH 2 /Cu 2 O/Cu, which achieves highly CO 2 photocatalytic conversion to CO. Among these, UiO-66-NH 2 /Cu 2 O/Cu-0.39 (U/C/Cu-0.39) displays the best activity with a CO yield of 4.54 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 , which is 37.8 times higher than that for UiO-66-NH 2 and 50.4 times higher than that for Cu 2 O. Cu not only acts as the electron conductor of the indirect Z-scheme heterojunction to promote the charge carrier transmission, but also acts as the active site of CO 2 reduction. The increase of active sites and the CO 2 adsorption capacity results in the superior photocatalytic performances.

The authors describe a novel electrochemical determination method for bisphenol A (BPA) based on the electrosynthesised Cu-BTC (H 3 BTC: trimesic acid) films. Using H 3 BTC as the ligand, Cu(NO 3 ) 2 as the precursor of copper ions, and triethylamine hydrochloride (Et 3 NHCl) as the probase source, Cu-BTC films were directly deposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface via cathodic electrochemical reduction under −1.30 V. Considering the electrocatalytic activity of metal center Cu 2+ , Cu-BTC films were applied to construct the electrochemical determination platform for BPA. Chronocoulometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to study the signal enhancement mechanism. The determination conditions were optimized. As a result, a sensitive electrochemical method was constructed for BPA. The peak currents, best measured at voltage of 0.496 V vs. SCE (KCl saturated calomel reference electrode), increase linearly in the range from 5.0 to 2000 nM. The value of determination limit is 0.72 nM. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine BPA in spiked urine, spiked waste water samples and plastic products. The results were in good agreement with those obtained for the same samples by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Copper (Cu) electrocatalysts for carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) have attracted much attention due to their ability to produce high value-added C 2+ products (e.g., C 2 H 4 , C 2 H 5 OH, and n-propanol). However, achieving high selectivity of Cu electrocatalysts for C 2 H 5 OH in aqueous-based electrolytes remains a significant challenge. In this paper, we report Cu octahedra modified with low-coordinated Cu nanoclusters (Cu oct @Cu_NCs) as an efficient electrocatalyst for CO 2 RR to C 2 H 5 OH. Notably, the defect-site-rich Cu nanoclusters can promote the adsorption of *CO and increase the *CO coverage on Cu octahedra enclosed by Cu(1 1 1), thus promoting CO 2 RR to C 2 H 5 OH. We achieved a high Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 48.16 % for C 2 H 5 OH, and that of the C 2+ products is 83.31 % at −1.17 V vs. RHE. This study provides a surface nanostructured route for rationalizing efficient and selective copper electrocatalysts for CO 2 RR.

With the advancement of high-integration and high-density interconnection in chip manufacturing and packaging, Cu bumping technology in wafer- and panel- level packaging is developed to micrometer-sized structures and pitches to accommodate increased I/O numbers on high-end integrated circuits. Driven by this industrial demand, significant efforts have been dedicated to Cu electroplating techniques for improved pillar shape control and solder joint reliability, which substantially depend on additive formulations and electroplating parameters that regulate the growth morphology, crystal structure, and impurity incorporation in the process of electrodeposition. It is necessary to investigate the effect of an additive on Cu pillar electrodeposition, and to explore the Kirkendall voids formed during the reflowing process, which may result from the additive-induced impurity in the electrodeposited Cu pillars. In this work, a self-synthesized polyquaterntum (PQ) was made out with dual suppressor and leveler effects, and was combined with prototypical accelerator bis- (sodium sulfopropyl)-disulfide (SPS) for patterned Cu pillar electroplating. Then, Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5 (SAC305) solder paste were screen printed on electroplated Cu pillars and undergo reflow soldering. Kirkendall voids formed at the joint interfaces were observed and quantified by SEM. Finally, XRD, and EBSD were employed to characterize the microstructure under varying conditions. The results indicate that PQ exhibits significant suppressive and levelled properties with the new structure of both leveler and suppressor. However, its effectiveness is dependent on liquid convection. PQ and SPS work synergistically, influencing the polarization effect in various convective environments. Consequently, uneven adsorption occurs on the surface of the Cu pillars, which results in more Kirkendall voids at the corners than at the center along the Cu pillar surface.
