The development of metal–organic framework (MOF) materials with multifunctionalities has boosted their prospects in the fields of spintronics and optoelectronics. However, incorporating magnetic and optoelectronic properties in MOF materials remains challenging. Herein, the in situ synthesis of Cu-MOF-74, a typical one-dimensional linear magnet, is systematically investigated, which shows ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions along the axial chain direction, and overall tilted antiferromagnetism at low temperatures. In particular, the introduction of SnS:Co quantum dots (QDs) enhances the antiferromagnetic coupling, which increases the phase transition temperature of the MOF from 7.8 K to 275 K at 1000 Oe. In addition, it is demonstrated that Cu-MOF-74 possesses both magnetic and optoelectronic properties. It is found that the responsivity and detectivity of the Cu-MOF-74 photodetector are both significantly improved by the SnS:Co QDs. This research provides promising methods for concurrent improvement of the magnetic and optoelectronic properties of MOF materials, advancing in-depth research on the MOF film as a new type of semiconductor for spintronic and optoelectronic devices.

Electrochemical detection techniques are unable to accurately distinguish isomers with similar structures and properties due to the poor stability and selectivity of some sensors and their susceptibility to environmental interference. Bimetallic synergistically synthesized MOF materials have various types of highly ordered pores and can be used as adsorbent materials and catalyst carriers. Therefore, a composite material was developed to prepare its derivative Cu/Bi@C using a bimetallic organic skeleton (Cu/Bi-MOF) as a precursor, inheriting the large number of active sites on the surface of the MOF and large surface area, while improving the electrochemical response signal. The morphology and structure of the synthesized Cu/Bi@C composites were tested and analyzed by XRD, SEM and other characterization methods, and the electrochemical response of the Cu/Bi@C nanocomposites was analyzed by using an electrochemical workstation. In this study, a simple and highly selective electrochemical method was developed for the simultaneous determination of catechol and catechol quinone. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used for the simultaneous detection of HQ and CC. The results showed that the Cu/Bi@C electrode was able to efficiently and highly selectively detect both isomers. The Cu/Bi@C electrode could detect HQ and CC in the range of 2–600 μM and 2–800 μM, respectively, under the detection environment of pH = 6.0. The detection limits were 0.08 μM and 0.11 μM (S/N = 3), respectively. The sensor was successfully applied to real samples and showed low detection limits, good recoveries, high selectivity, stability and reproducibility. This provides a new idea for electrochemical detection and is expected to be applied in several fields.

The direct dehydrogenation of ethyl lactate (EL) to produce ethyl pyruvate (EP) over non-precious heterogeneous catalysts is highly desirable, but challenging. Herein, we report a highly efficient silica-supported copper catalyst prepared via a hydrolysis-precipitation method (Cu/SiO 2 -HP) for the dehydrogenation of ethyl lactate, which exhibited an 85.4 % EL conversion with 91.1 % selectivity toward EP at 320 °C. XAFS, in situ XPS, and CO-adsorption FT-IR spectra revealed that the Cu/SiO 2 -HP catalyst had abundant Cu 0 /Cu + interfaces. In situ FT-IR spectra, kinetic studies , and theoretical calculations also demonstrated that the Cu 0 /Cu + interfaces synergistically activate the O−H and C−H bonds in the adsorbed EL for direct dehydrogenation into EP. The H/D kinetic isotope effect for model reaction confirmed that C−H bond activation is the key step in the dehydrogenation reaction. This study offers a new approach toward the selective conversion of EL into EP, which is of great significance for biomass conversion .

To utilize Cu-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (Cu-BTC) adsorbed lubricant oils in the self-lubricating field, the adsorption properties of Cu-BTC on different 1-olefins must be clarified. In this work, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-nonene, 1-decene, 1-undecene, and 1-dodecene were studied by the Monte Carlo method and experimentally. The adsorption limit of Cu-BTC for n-olefins was determined as 1-undecene by the adsorption isotherms. This suggested a limit for even straight-chain molecules to the adsorption of Cu-BTC. The maximum ratio of the olefin length of the largest pore diameter ( L / D ) of Cu-BTC was approximately 1.57. Furthermore, theoretical calculations (radial distribution function (RDF)) and experiments (infrared (IR) spectra) confirmed the interaction of n-olefin adsorbates and the Cu-BTC framework occurred between the -CH= of olefins and the Cu and O atoms of the Cu-BTC framework. This work adds to the understanding and investigation of the adsorption of liquid lubricants using Cu-BTC as a metal-organic framework (MOF).

Single-atom photo-Fenton (PF) reaction is widely employed for the degradation of antibiotics and water disinfection. However, the key fundamental issues of the valence state cycling of single-atom metals and the activation of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in the PF process remain indistinct. Herein, we developed a catalyst donated as Cu single atoms anchored hydrangea-like carbon nitride (Cu-SA/CNH) with Cu−N 4 coordination for PF reaction. Compared to pristine CNH, the Cu-SA/CNH exhibited a 2.42-fold increase in PF kinetics. The Cu-SA/CNH/PF system achieved 98.1% degradation efficiency of tetracycline and effectively inactivated Escherichia coli within 30 min. Density functional theory calculations demonstrated that the formation of Cu−N 4 effectively improved the energy of the Cu d orbitals, leading to the generation of intermediate states that facilitated the Cu 2+ /Cu + cycle. The adsorption capacity of Cu d xz orbitals on H 2 O 2 increased nearly 10 times. This work provides valuable insights for enhancing single-atom PF activity to address environmental pollution.

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.

Due to the high energy barrier of C-C coupling and the intense competition from by-products, achieving superior ethylene selectivity in electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) remains challenging. Herein, we reported a distinctive Cu-based electrocatalyst fabricated from a three-dimensional (3D) tentacle-like Cu2(OH)2CO3 precursor. After electrochemical activation, abundant surface structural hydroxyls chemically bonded to Cu+ species (Cu+-OH structures) formed on the resulting Cu-based electrocatalyst. Such structural hydroxyl-rich Cu-based catalyst exhibited excellent eCO2RR performance, with a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 43.7% for ethylene (partial current density up to 130.6 mA·cm-2) and a FE of ~70% for C2+ products at -1.5 V vs RHE in a flow cell, far exceeding those over the hydroxyl-deficient Cu-based one. By combining operando spectroscopic analysis with density functional theory calculations, it was unveiled that inherent surface Cu+-OH structures over Cu-based electrocatalysts could result in the electron loss of neighboring active Cu0 sites, which was favorable for the creation of crucial *COH and *OCCOH intermediates and thus the formation of ethylene product. Consequently, dual reaction pathways for the eCO2RR based on both key *COH and *CHO intermediates coexisting on the Cu-based electrocatalyst with abundant Cu+-OH structures powerfully boosted electrochemical CO2 reduction to produce ethylene. This work presents an innovative strategy for the construction of Cu-based electrocatalyst rich in structural hydroxyls and highlights the crucial role of inherent Cu+-OH structures in switching the formation of intermediates to boost ethylene production in the eCO2RR.

Cu(I)-containing materials have great potential in various applications such as in CO adsorption; however, development of an efficient and controllable method to produce Cu(I) sites remains a significant challenge; herein, a two-step double-solvent (DS) strategy is reported for the first time to fabricate Cu(I) sites in a representative metal–organic framework, MIL-101(Cr); this strategy ensures that both introduction of the Cu(II) precursor and its reduction to Cu(I) occur inside the pores and significantly minimizes the aggregation of Cu species. This is difficult to realize through conventional methods used for Cu(II) introduction (wet impregnation) or reduction (liquid-phase reduction). The two-step DS strategy involves selective reduction of Cu(II) to form Cu(I) without the formation of any Cu(0). The obtained Cu(I)-containing materials exhibit an excellent CO adsorption capacity (up to 2.42 mmol g−1) at 298 K and 1 bar, much better than that of the benchmark adsorbents including CuCl/γ-Al2O3 (1.0 mmol g−1), CuCl/MCM-41 (0.57 mmol g−1), and CuZSM-5 (0.11 mmol g−1).

Treatment of organic wastewater is still a difficult problem to solve. In this paper, Cu-doped SnSe powder was synthesized by a convenient and efficient hydrothermal method. Meanwhile, the degradation effect of different doping concentrations of SnSe on methylene blue was investigated. It was found that at low doping concentrations, the degradation effect on methylene blue was not obvious because Cu was dissolved in the lattice of the SnSe matrix at low concentrations. As the doping concentration increased, SnSe changed from a layered structure to a nanocluster structure with reduced particle size, and a mixed phase of SnSe and Cu2SnSe4appeared. In fact, the degradation effect on methylene blue was significantly enhanced, and we found that the catalytic degradation effect on methylene blue was best at a doping concentration of 10 wt.%.

Herein, we reduced the ZnO-modified copper phyllosilicate to synthesize a series of Cu/ZnO/SiO 2 catalysts ( x CuZn/SiO 2 ) which were mixed with γ-Al 2 O 3 for dimethyl ether steam reforming (DME SR). The structure and the formation of copper phyllosilicate were systematically characterized by nitrogen adsorption, XRD and IR. The novel synthetic route led to the remarkably high dispersion of copper species and adjustable Cu 0 /Cu + ratio on the catalyst surface, resulting in the superior catalytic performance for DME SR. The amount of Cu 0 and Cu + sites on the catalyst surface was dramatically affected by ZnO loading, and the turnover frequency results indicated that the 4CuZn/SiO 2 catalyst (Cu/Zn = 4) with the Cu 0 /Cu + ratio of 1 showed the highest catalytic performance. The XPS, H 2 -TPR and TEM results revealed the existence of strong interaction between Cu species and ZnO on the reduced 4CuZn/SiO 2 catalyst, which suppressed the reverse water-gas reaction and prevented the sintering of copper.

Rational design of catalytic sites to activate the C C bond is of paramount importance to advance acetylene hydrochlorination. Herein, Cu sites with electron-rich and electron-deficient states were constructed by controlling the impregnation solutions. The π electrons flowing from acetylene to Cu site are facilitated over the electron-deficient Cu sites, achieving high activation of C C bond. The contradiction between the increased activation of acetylene required for enhanced catalytic activity and the resistance of Cu site to reduction by acetylene required for maintaining catalytic stability can be balanced by establishing strong interactions of Cu site with pyrrolic-N species. The catalytic activity displays a volcano shape scaling relationship as a function of Cu particle size. Tribasic copper chloride is concomitantly generated with the construction of electron-deficient Cu sites. The H–Cl bond of HCl can be activated over the tribasic copper chloride, accelerating the surface reaction of vinyl chloride production. This strategy of inducing electron deficiency provides new insight into the rational design of catalysts for the synthesis of vinyl chloride with a high catalytic performance.

Hydrogenation of CO2 to chemicals is of great importance in the reduction of greenhouse gas emission. And the interaction and/or the boundary between Cu and ZnO played a crucial role in the performance of the Cu–ZnO catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. In this work, cylindrical shaped ZnO was first synthesized via controlled hydrothermal precipitation of Zn(CO2CH3)2·2H2O, and Cu was further deposited on ZnO via in situ reduction in aqueous solution. Characterizations indicated that the crystallization degree of ZnO decreased with the increasing content of Cu, while the exposed surface area of Cu exhibited a volcano shaped curve. It was found that the cylindrical shaped ZnO combined Cu catalysts were active for the hydrogenation of CO2, and the space time yield of methanol reached 0.50 g-MeOH (g-cat h)−1 at H2/CO2 = 3, 240 °C, 3.0 MPa, and 0.54 mol (g-cat h)−1, but the methanol selectivity decreases with the reduction of the (002) polar plane of ZnO. The conversion of CO2 and methanol selectivity were discussed with the detected exposed Cu surface area and the number of oxygen vacancies.
