A novel, green, and facile approach has been developed to construct an ultrasensitive flexible enzyme-less electrochemical sensor on the basis of chitosan and graphene oxide composites decorated with Cu nanoparticles supported on nickel foam (Nif/Cs/GO@Cu), in which GO functions as the intermediate between Nif and Cu nanoparticles. The Nif/Cs/GO@Cu sensing platform was successfully fabricated by the drop casting method to load Cs/GO onto Nif followed by an additionally electrodeposition to support Cu nanoparticles on Nif/Cs/GO. Impressively, the Nif/Cs/GO@Cu exhibited much higher electrocatalytic activity for glucose and UA oxidation as compared to that of Nif or Nif@Cu. For glucose and UA at about 0.6 V and 0.1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), linearity could be obtained in the concentration ranges 5 µM–4 mM and 5–345 µM; the sensitivities were 16 and 2.5 µA µM −1 cm −2 , and the detection limits 83 nM and 0.3 µM, respectively. The improved performance of the composite electrode was ascribed to the synergistic effect of Cu nanoparticles, Nif and GO, in which GO provides high electron conductivity and large surface area to prevent the agglomeration of Cu nanoparticles; Cu nanoparticles and Nif offer abundant active sites towards analytes oxidation. Additionally, the method was applied to determine both analytes successfully in blood serum samples with excellent recovery and also opens up an attractive route to potential applications of the flexible nickel foam-based electrochemical sensor.

Semiconductor photocatalysis is a green and environmentally friendly antibiotic wastewater treatment technology without secondary pollution. In this paper, a series of montmorillonite (MMT) samples loaded with Cu, Mn, and Ni were prepared by impregnation method. The structure and spectral response of the as-prepared samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, laser Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–Vis DRS), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and photocurrent response test. The photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) was carried out under simulated solar irradiation, and the photocatalytic properties of MMT samples with different loads were investigated. The characterization results show that Cu and Mn have strong interaction with MMT, and composite photocatalyst Cu 10 Mn 10 -MMT has the smallest Nyquist arc and higher photocurrent intensity. Degradation experiments on TCH showed that Cu 10 Mn 10 -MMT had the best photocatalytic degradation, with a degradation rate of 79.78%, three times that of the original MMT. Active substances capture experiments showed that h + and O 2 . − were the main active substances for the degradation of TCH by Cu 10 Mn 10 -MMT. After the combination of Cu, Mn, and MMT, the band structure changed, resulting in more h + and O 2 .− involved in the redox reaction, thereby improving the photocatalytic degradation performance of TCH. In this work, a promising photocatalyst is used to efficiently and greenly degrade antibiotic wastewater.

This study presents a facile electrodeposition and annealing procedure for the fabrication of Ni-Mo-Cu catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction . Cu addition augmented the surface area and conductivity, while the synergistic effect of the three elements enhanced the intrinsic catalytic activity. After annealing in a vacuum at 300 °C, a dense Cu-Ni solid solution was formed on the catalyst surface, which improved the distribution of components and led to a significant improvement in corrosion resistance . Compared to the directly deposited Ni-Mo catalyst, the annealed Ni-Mo-Cu catalyst exhibited a reduced overpotential of 143 mV to generate a current density of 10 mA cm −2 in 1 M KOH at 25 °C, and its corrosion current density diminished from 0.21 to 0.035 mA cm −2 in 0.5 M NaCl at 25 °C.

Dynamic deformations at extreme strain rates (>10 6 /s) are frequently encountered by metallic structural materials. According to continuum theory, increasing the modulus and thus speed of sound in metallic materials could lead to enhanced impact resistance, while such goals are difficult to achieve via conventional alloying methods. On the other hand, recent researches have revealed that carbon materials such as graphene have far larger in-plane speed of sound than metals and therefore are intrinsically impact resistant. In this work, graphene/copper (Gr/Cu) nanolaminates were fabricated by incorporating graphene into copper matrix, and its ballistic performance at extreme strain rates (∼3 × 10 7 /s) was quantified via laser-induced projectile impact tests (LIPITs). The specific energy dissipation of Gr/Cu nanolaminates is found to be 54 % higher than Cu. Post-mortem analysis revealed that graphene nanoinclusions could cause additional coordinative deformation in regions surrounding the perforation zone in Gr/Cu, leading to enhanced ballistic performance of Gr/Cu nanolaminates.

This work reports the synthesis of a series of carbon supported Pt-Pd-Cu (Pt-Pd-Cu/C) nano-catalysts for formic acid oxidation. The trimetallic catalysts were prepared by a one-pot protocol through reduction of Pt, Pd and Cu ions using ethylene glycol and sodium citrate as the reducing and stabilizing reagents. XRD characterization suggests that Pt-Pd-Cu alloys with different lattice parameters can be successfully prepared through adjusting the atomic ratios of Pt, Pd and Cu ions in the precursor solutions. The average crystal sizes of the Pt-Pd-Cu/C catalysts are in the range of 2.7-3.1 nm. TEM images shows that the metallic nanoparticles are well dispersed on the carbon surface, with Pt 1 Pd 3 Cu 3 /C catalyst showing obvious aggregation. XPS was carried out to analyze the surface compositions, as well as the chemical states of the novel metals in the catalysts. The real atomic ratios of the metals in the catalysts based on ICP-OES evaluation are consistent with the stoichiometric values. Electrochemical analysis suggests that the activities the Pt-Pd-Cu/C catalysts towards formic acid oxidation are dependent on the composition of the catalysts, with Pt 1 Pd 4 Cu 2 /C exhibiting the best performance. A mass normalized peak current density of 3.02 A/mg (Pt+Pd) was observed on Pt 1 Pd 4 Cu 2 /C catalyst.

The hydrogenation of methyl formate to methanol is considered one of the most effective methods for recycling methyl formate products. We recently developed a highly efficient and cost-effective Cu-SiO2catalyst using the ammonia-evaporation (AE) method. The Cu-SiO2-AE catalyst demonstrated superior performance, achieving a methyl formate conversion of 94.2% and a methanol selectivity of 99.9% in the liquid product. The catalyst also displayed excellent stability over a durability test of 250 h. Compared to the commonly used Cu-Cr catalyst in the industry, the Cu-SiO2-AE catalyst exhibited higher conversion of methyl formate and methanol yield under the same reaction conditions. Characterization results revealed a significant presence of Si-OH groups in the Cu-SiO2-AE catalyst. These groups enhanced the hydrogen spillover effect and improved hydrogenation efficiency by preventing sintering during the reaction to stabilize the Cu species. The strategy employed in this study is applicable to the rational design of highly efficient catalysts for industrial applications.Keywords:Cu-SiO2catalyst;hydrogenation of methyl formate;methanol;catalyst stability

Cu/N co-doped TiO 2 nanopowder was prepared with a facile sol–gel method. In the absence of stabilizing agents, the co-doped nanopowder with nanoscaled particle sizes was obtained. Doping didn’t change the anatase crystal structure of TiO 2 . Cuprite Cu 2 Cl(OH) 3 formed in the co-doped nanopowder. Based on ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data, the mechanisms of significantly improved photocatalytic activity of the co-doped nanopowder were discussed. The antibacterial evaluation and cytotoxicity test suggested the nanopowder inhibited bacteria significantly under visible light and had ultralow cytotoxicity.

Since limitedly existing researches suggested Cu(II) had deficiently catalytic ability to PAA, in this work, we tested the oxidation performance of Cu(II)/PAA system on diclofenac (DCF) degradation under neutral conditions. It was found that overwhelming DCF removal could be obtained in Cu(II)/PAA system at pH 7.4 using phosphate buffer solution (PBS) compared to poor loss of DCF without PBS, and the apparent rate constant of DCF removal in PBS/Cu(II)/PAA system was 0.0359 min − 1 , 6.53 times of that in Cu(II)/PAA system. Organic radicals (i.e., CH 3 C(O)O• and CH 3 C(O)OO•) were evidenced as the dominant contributors to DCF destruction in PBS/Cu(II)/PAA system. PBS motivated the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I) through chelation effect, and then the activation of PAA by Cu(I) was facilitated. Besides, due to the steric hindrance of Cu(II)-PBS complex (CuHPO 4 ), PAA activation was mediated from non-radical-generating pathway to radical-generating pathway, leading to desirably effective DCF removal by radicals. The transformation of DCF mainly experienced hydroxylation, decarboxylation , formylation and dehydrogenation in PBS/Cu(II)/PAA system. This work proposes the potential of coupling of phosphate and Cu(II) in optimizing PAA activation for organic pollutants elimination .

Electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia is an eco-friendly strategy to remove the nitrate pollution in waste effluents. Developing new-type electrocatalysts with high activity for NO 3 RR has attracted worldwide attention. Owing to the numerous active single-metal sites, electric conductivity and ordered in-plane porous structure, conductive metal–organic frameworks (cMOFs) are promising alternative to construct the next-generation NO 3 RR electrocatalysts. In this work, a bimetallic cMOF (Cu x Co y HHTP) is proposed for efficient NO 3 – electroreduction to ammonia and the synergy effect between different types of single-metal sites is also revealed. As the result, the optimal Cu 1 Co 1 HHTP exhibits an outstanding electrocatalytic activity with a high NH 3 yield rate of 299.9 μmol h −1 cm −2 and a large Faradic efficiency of 96.4%. Both theoretical and experimental results reveal that the Co sites can affect the electron structure of Cu sites in Cu 1 Co 1 HHTP slab and decrease the ΔG of potential determining step in NO 3 RR process. Moreover, the Co sites bring a higher selectivity to Cu active sites for reducing *NO 2 to *NO, rather than the desorption of NO 2 – . The bimetallic c-MOFs strategy will innovate the design concept of next-generation catalyst, paving the way to investigate catalytic mechanism of single-metal-atom and open up their application prospects.

Inhibition of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formed in protein glycosylation is crucial for minimizing diabetic complications. Herein, the anti-glycation potential of hesperetin-Cu (II) complex was investigated. Hesperetin-Cu (II) complex strongly inhibited three stages glycosylation products in bovine serum albumin (BSA)-fructose model, especially for the inhibition of AGEs (88.45%), which was stronger than hesperetin (51.76%) and aminoguanidine (22.89%). Meanwhile, hesperetin-Cu (II) complex decreased the levels of BSA carbonylation and oxidation products. 182.50 µg/mL of hesperetin-Cu (II) complex inhibited 66.71% β-crosslinking structures of BSA, and scavenged 59.80% superoxide anions and 79.76% hydroxyl radicals. Moreover, after incubating with methylglyoxal for 24 h, hesperetin-Cu (II) complex removed 85.70% methylglyoxal. The mechanisms of protein antiglycation by hesperetin-Cu (II) complex may be through protecting structure, trapping methylglyoxal, scavenging free radicals and interacting with BSA. This study may contribute to the development of hesperetin-Cu (II) complex as a functional food additive against protein glycation.

Copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) modified zinc electrode (Cu-Zn/Cu-foam) is successfully prepared via cathodic electrodeposition followed by a galvanic-exchange procedure and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), Tafel curve and galvanostatic electrolysis. With the reconstruction of Zn through the formation of Cu NPs on the surface, the corrosion current and active surface area are increased, and the activity on the electrochemical reduction of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is activated. The TBBPA (10 mmol/L) is almost degraded within 1 h, and the yield of the complete debromination product bisphenol A (BPA) reaches 92 % in 3 h. Furthermore, the surface of used Cu-Zn/Cu-foam electrode become more uniform and CuZn 5 is formed, which enabled the stable electro-catalytic activity on the electro-reduction of TBBPA even after ten cycles. Then the degradation mechanism is proposed. The micro galvanic reconstruction of Zn offers a promising strategy for the removal of TBBPA in aquatic environment.

CO hydrogenation to isobutyl alcohol is a promising route for CO transformation to high value-added products. However, the formation mechanism of isobutyl alcohol is complex, and its synthesis requires complex catalysts and harsh reaction conditions, which hinders the identification of active sites. Herein, we efficiently synthesized isobutyl alcohol under mild conditions over a simple Cu–ZrO2 catalyst by decreasing the Cu loading. The space–time yield (STY) of isobutyl alcohol using an optimal CZ-0.11 catalyst was as high as 61.3 g·Lcat–1·h–1 with a CO conversion of 19.2%, far surpassing the STY of the state-of-the-art isobutyl alcohol synthesis (44.6 g·Lcat–1·h–1) under harsh conditions. Decreasing the Cu loading increased the distribution of smaller Cu particles and clarified the structure–activity relationship of Cu–Zr interactions for isobutyl alcohol synthesis. The enhanced Cu–Zr interaction led to the formation of more electron-deficient Cu species on the CZ-0.11 catalyst, which enriched the linearly adsorbed CO on Cu, as demonstrated by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy. Experimental and theoretical results revealed that coupling of the bicarbonate species on ZrO2 with the linearly adsorbed CO species on electron-deficient Cu clusters promoted the formation of C2 intermediates and finally produced isobutyl alcohol through rapid β-addition. These insights into the active sites for CO hydrogenation to isobutyl alcohol may guide further catalyst designs.
