For the first time, Cu nanoparticles were evenly decorated on MoS 2 nanosheet by chemical reduction. The as-prepared Cu-MoS 2 hybrid was characterized by atomic force microscope (AFM), Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and then used to fabricate a non-enzymatic glucose sensor. The performance of our sensor was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and amperometric measurement in alkaline media. Electrochemical tests showed that Cu-MoS 2 hybrid exhibited synergistic electrocatalytic activity on the oxidation of glucose with a high sensitivity of 1055 μA mM −1 cm −2 and a linear range up to 4 mM.

Sb-doping has been demonstrated to be a new approach to promote Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) thin film formation . To study the mechanism of Sb-promoted CIGS formation, we investigated the influence of Sb on the evolution of the critical intermediate Cu–Se phases, and found that Cu 3 SbSe 3 species was formed. Phase change of the as-prepared Cu–Se compounds at elevated temperature was determined using the differential scanning calorimetry analysis. For samples containing Sb, the melting decomposition occurred at 507.1 °C, along with aggregation of nanocrystals into a bulk, while the morphology of the sample without Sb barely changed after heating. This result suggests that the mobile Cu 3 SbSe 3 is likely the key intermediate responsible for Sb-promoted CIGS formation. Furthermore, we extended the scope of Sb-doping approach to solvothermal synthesis and CIGS nanocrystals were synthesized with significantly promoted kinetics in the presence of Sb. Based on these results, we propose the mechanism of Sb promoted CIGS formation.

Heterocrystalline polytype nanostructured semiconductors have been attracting more and more attention in recent years due to their novel structures and special interfaces. Up to now, controlled polytypic nanostructures are mostly realized in II–VI and III–V semiconductors. Herein, we report the synthesis and photoelectrochemical properties of Cu-based ternary I–III–VI2 chalcogenide polytypic nanocrystals, with a focus on polytypic CuInS2 (CIS), CuInSe2 (CISe), and CuIn(S0.5Se0.5)2 alloy nanocrystals. Each obtained polytypic nanocrystal is constructed with a wurtzite hexagonal column and a zinc blende/chalcopyrite cusp, regardless of the S/Se ratio. The growth mechanisms of polytypic CIS and CISe nanocrystals have been studied by time-dependent experiments. The polytypic nanocrystals are solution-deposited on indium–tin oxide glass substrate and used as a photoelectrode, thus showing stable photoelectrochemical activity in aqueous solution. Density functional theory calculation was used to study the electronic structure and the band gap alignment. This versatile synthetic method provides a new route for synthesis of novel polytypic nanostructured semiconductors with unique properties.

In this work, transition metal ion- doped zinc-based quantum dots (QDs) are synthesized via a greener controllable method to avoid the toxicity of the traditional cadmium-based QDs and broaden the tunable emission. Herein, the tunable emission of Cu-doped ZnInS/ZnS core-shell QDs (Cu:ZnInS/ZnS) can cover from 500 to 620 nm by varying the Cu dopant concentration from 1 to 20% and the maximum quantum yield can reach 49.8%. Based on the single-doped QDs, Cu,Mn co-doped ZnInS/ZnS core-shell QDs (Cu,Mn:ZnInS/ZnS) with a photoluminance (PL) quantum yield of 30.4% are obtained. All the as-synthesized QDs have the zinc blende structure and the average size is about 3.55 nm. Besides, the interaction mechanism between the Cu and Mn dopant luminescence centers is proposed in this work, which is rarely investigated in the previous report. Diffusion priority and energy transfer between these two dopants are supposed to play an important role in the co-doped QDs and Cu ions could affect the splitting of Mn d states. Color coordinates of these doped QDs show the line-tunability from (0.200, 0.397) to (0.408, 0.508) on the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) chromatic diagram, showing a promising potential in high-quality white light output by integration of these QDs with blue chips.

In this work, persulfate (S 2 O 8 2− , PS) was introduced to the photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) system, which consisted of a γ-Bi 2 MoO 6 photoanode and a copper foil cathode (Bi 2 MoO 6 /Cu/PEC/PS system). Significant enhancement of diclofenac sodium (DCF) degradation efficiency was observed in this system under visible light irradiation. At an applied bias of 1.5 V and initial solution pH of 5.62, the removal efficiency of DCF with an initial concentration of 10 mg/L was increased from 19.4% in the PEC process to 86.3% in the PEC process with 10 mM PS addition. The pseudo-first-order kinetic rate constant of DCF degradation was increased from 0.1112 h −1 to 1.0498 h −1 . Active free radicals involving SO 4 − and HO were produced in this process, which were confirmed by electron spin resonance analysis. Furthermore, the surface variation of copper foil cathode was characterized by FE-SEM, GI-XRD, XPS and in situ Raman spectroscopy. It was demonstrated that Cu 2 O formed on the surface in the reaction process with the S 2 O 8 2− addition, which was further confirmed by the photoelectrochemical analysis of the cathode. The surface Cu(0)–Cu(I)–Cu(II)–Cu(0) redox cycle of cathode was proposed, which was responsible for the persulfate activation, leading to the generation of free radicals. This work may provide a new perspective on the combined utilization of different technologies for catalytic contaminant removal.

Degradation of hazardous organic dyes utilizing multifunctional catalytic materials is supposed to be an efficient and promising method. Here, homogeneous Cu-Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites are synthesized through a facile and versatile one-pot hydrothermal method. The prepared Cu-Fe 3 O 4 possesses spherical structure with rough surface and average diameter of 230 nm. High catalytic activity and structure stability make Cu-Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites effectively degrade rhodamine B, methylene blue, methyl orange, and congo red. The existence of magnetic Fe 3 O 4 leads the nanocomposites to separate from the solution through external magnet and reuse for cycle degradation. And during the cyclic utilization, Cu-Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites keep high catalytic activity and, thus, could be used as an efficient degradation catalyst for the application of organic dyes.

MOF-199 was modified by incorporating activated carbon (AC) during its synthesis under hydrothermal conditions to improve its performance in the removal of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and dimethyl sulfide (CH 3 SCH 3 ). A variety of different characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), pyridine adsorption infrared spectroscopy (Py-IR), thermogravimetric- mass spectroscopy (TG-MS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyze the fresh and exhausted composites. It was found that the composites, which have an amount of AC of less than 2%, had the same morphology as those of pristine MOF-199, but exhibited a more ordered crystallinity structure as well as higher surface area. The composite with 2% AC incorporation showed highest sulfur capacity of 8.46 and 8.53% for H 2 S and CH 3 SCH 3 , respectively, which increased by 51 and 41% compared to that of MOF-199. This improvement was attributed to the formation of more micropores and especially the increased number of unsaturated copper metal sites, as revealed by Py-IR. It is suggested the chemical reaction was apparent during adsorption of H 2 S, which resulted in the formation of CuS and the collapse of the MOF structure. Whereas reversible chemisorption was found for CH 3 SCH 3 adsorption, as testified by TG-MS and fixed-bed regeneration. Exhausted MAC-2 can be almost totally regenerated by high temperature 180 °C nitrogen purge, indicating a promising adsorbent for CH 3 SCH 3 removal.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have attracted much attention because of the unique layered structures and charming properties in many applications. However, with respect to stimulus-responsive 2D nanomaterials, the rigidity of most 2D nanostructures sheds doubt on achieving morphology response. In this paper, a photoresponsive 2D nanostructure is fabricated on the basis of the self-assembly of ultrasmall Cu nanoclusters (NCs) in colloidal solution. The Cu NCs are foremost decorated by the capping ligands with photoresponsive azobenzene (Azo) groups and by virtue of the flexibility of self-assembly techniques to produce nanoribbons. Because the ribbons are composed of individual NCs rather than a rigid whole, the ultraviolet (UV)-induced Cu NCs disassembly permits achieving morphology transformation. The disassembly of Cu ribbons is controlled by the Cu NCs rather than the surface ligands. However, the disassembled Cu NCs will reassemble into spheres if they are coated with Azo groups. The electrocatalytic performance of Cu self-assembly ribbons and spheres in oxygen reduction reaction is further compared. The ribbons show better catalytic activity than the spheres.

Although tremendous efforts have been devoted to the exploration of cost-effective, active, and stable electrochemical catalysts, only few significant breakthroughs have been achieved up to now. Therefore, exploring new catalysts and improving catalyst activity and stability are still major tasks at present. Controllable synthesis of Pt-based alloy nanocrystals with a uniform high-index surface and unique architecture has been regarded as an effective strategy to optimize their catalytic efficiency toward electrochemical reactions. Accordingly, here we present a one-pot facile solvothermal process to synthesize novel unique Cu@CuPt core–shell concave octahedron nanocrystals that exhibit both outstanding activity and long durability. By regulating temperatures during the synthesis process, we were able to control the reduction rate of Cu and Pt ions, which could subsequently lead to the sequential stacking of Cu and Pt atoms. Owing to the concave structure, the as-prepared core–shell nanoparticles hold a high-index surface of {312} and {413}. Such surfaces can provide a high density of atomic steps and terraces, which is suggested to be favorable for electrochemical catalysts. Specifically, the Cu@CuPt core–shell concave octahedron presents 8.6/13.1 times enhanced specific/mass activities toward the methanol oxidation reaction in comparison to those of a commercial Pt/C catalyst, respectively. Meanwhile, the as-prepared catalyst exhibits superior durability and antiaggregation properties under harsh electrochemical conditions. The facile method used here proposes a novel idea to the fabrication of nanocrystals with desired compositional distribution, and the as-prepared product offers exciting opportunities to be applied in direct methanol fuel cells.

Beginning with the formation of the ionic liquid/water two-liquid phase catalytic system for absorption of PH 3 , we designed and synthesized Cu + -[Bmim]PF 6 , which has a hydrophobic property, and later formed a two-liquid phase system with Cu + -[Bmim]PF 6 and water, which has high PH 3 absorption efficiency, and an effective separation of the product and the catalyst was achieved. The effects of temperature and O 2 concentration on phosphine absorption, and the distribution of catalytic components and products in the ionic liquid/aqueous two-phase system were studied. Moreover, the mechanism of Cu + -ILs/water two-liquid phase catalytic oxidation of phosphine was discussed based on results from the analysis of FT-IR and ion chromatography . The results demonstrated that the optimum oxygen content in the reaction was 3%, and the optimum reaction temperature was 45 °C. Cu + -ILs/water two-liquid phase system has a high absorption efficiency for PH 3 , the absorption process is liquid phase catalytic oxidation and the product is H 3 PO 4 . The two-liquid phase system is semi-intelligent. The system can achieve high performance liquid phase catalytic oxidation of PH 3 , as well as automatic separation of H 3 PO 4 .

Orientation-induced crystallization is a widely applied method of forming crystal with highly oriented structure. Here, we reported a promising matrix for orientation-induced crystallization–carbon dots (CDs), who exhibited high lattice-matching with Cu crystal. First, CDs induce self-assembly of Cu nanoparticles through organics-inorganics interface interaction, forming self-assembled mesocrystal and single crystal with large size. Second, the CDs selectively deposit on Cu {111} plane via lattice-matching, endowing Cu self-assemblies with tunable morphology including sphere, truncated octahedron, octahedron, concave octahedron and hexpods. Third, CDs also protect Cu self-assemblies from oxidation and act as efficient interface for optical conversion and electron transfer . So using as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for the first time, the CDs-coating hexpods Cu mesocrystal require no post processing and exhibit high stability and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity which ordinary Cu nanostructure cannot achieve.

Herein, a smart porous material, Cu-hemin metal-organic-frameworks (Cu-hemin MOFs), was synthesized via assembling of Cu 2+ with hemin to load glucose oxidase (GOD) for electrochemical glucose biosensing for the first time. The formation of the Cu-hemin MOFs was verified by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, N 2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, thermal analysis and electrochemical techniques. The results indicated that the Cu-hemin MOFs showed a ball-flower-like hollow cage structure with a large specific surface area and a large number of mesopores. A large number of GOD molecules could be successfully loaded in the pores of Cu-hemin MOFs to keep their bioactivity just like in a solution. The GOD/Cu-hemin MOFs exhibited both good performance toward oxygen reduction reaction via Cu-hemin MOFs and catalytic oxidation of glucose via GOD, superior to other GOD/MOFs and GOD/nanomaterials. Accordingly, the performance of GOD/Cu-hemin MOFs-based electrochemical glucose sensor was enhanced greatly, showing a wide linear range from 9.10 μM to 36.0 mM and a low detection limit of 2.73 μM. Moreover, the sensor showed satisfactory results in detection of glucose in human serum. This work provides a practical design of new electrochemical sensing platform based on MOFs and biomolecules.
