The Cu@Pt/C nanocomposites have been synthesized via two-step reduction method. Electrochemical observations showed that the Cu@Pt/C had better electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide than Pt/C, with a wide linear range between 0.50 μM and 32.56 mM, a high sensitivity of 351.3 μA mM − 1 cm − 2 , and a low detection limit of 0.15 μM (signal/noise = 3). Furthermore, the sensor based on Cu@Pt/C has potential applications due to its excellent long-time stability, good reproducibility and acceptable selectivity.

Magnetic microspheres (MM) were prepared using calcium alginate (CA) encapsulated biochar (BC) and Fe3O4 as a high-performance green absorbent for Cu(II) removal from aqueous solution. The effects of the initial Cu(II) concentration, initial pH value of the Cu(II) solution and equilibrium contact time were investigated. The results revealed that the adsorption capacity of MM was approximately 3 times higher than that of the magnetic biochar (MBC). The adsorption of Cu(II) by the MM was in good agreement with pseudo-second-order kinetics. The overall orders for fitting the isotherm models are Langmuir > Freundlich for Cu(II). Mechanism studies showed that coordination and ion exchange were the major mechanism for Cu(II) removal by the MM. Moreover, the presence of the magnetic particles in the microspheres allowed easy separation of the material from aqueous solutions. This study provides an effective method for biochar modification.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and self-assembly induced emission (SAIE) effects have been employed to tune the emission properties of metal nanoclusters (NCs). However, it is still not possible to further enhance the photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) and control the emission colors of the NCs using AIE and SAIE. On the basis of our recent work studying the contribution of Cu(I) defects in the SAIE of Cu NCs, in this article, Au(I) was doped into Cu NC self-assembled nanosheets (NSASs) to construct a more stable Au(I)-centered state. As a result, the PLQYs, emission stability, and tunability of emission colors of the Cu NSASs were significantly improved. Detailed studies reveal that the doped Au(I) induces a Au(I)–Cu(I) metallophilic interaction, which leads to a ligand-to-Cu–Au charge transfer, which facilitates the relaxation of excited electrons via a radiative pathway, thereby enhancing the emission intensity. The charge transfer from Cu to Au lowers the energy, thus leading to the red-shift of PL emission. Au(I) is likely doped into the Cu NSASs rather than in individual NCs, because 0.3% Au doping is enough to alter the emission properties. By mixing Au(I)-doped Cu NSASs with different emission colors (due to different Au doping percentages) as color conversion materials on commercially available 365 nm GaN chips, a white light-emitting diode prototype is fabricated.

In this paper, we proposed a depressing bonding temperature method for Cu Cu bonding with nanoparticle paste. The paste was prepared by composting dominant Cu nanoparticles with Ag nanoparticles of lower sintering temperature , where the average nanoparticle size of Cu and Ag was 61.02 and 69.25 nm, respectively. The reliable bonding was successfully achieved at the temperature of 250 °C, the pressure of 1.12 MPa and the protection of Ar-H 2 gas mixture comparing with pure Cu nanoparticles paste. An optimal resistivity of sintered Cu-Ag composite nanoparticle paste can achieve 1.99 × 10 −7 Ω m with the 2:1 molar ratio of Cu to Ag, and the largest shear strength of the bonded Cu-Cu joint can reach 25.41 MPa. The underlying sintering mechanism of the composited nanoparticles was discussed. It suggests the compositing with Ag nanoparticles is a practical strategy towards lowering the bonding temperature for Cu-based interconnect. The experimental process can be easily implemented, the bonding temperature and the performance can satisfy the packaging requirements of current 3D-IC. The developed Cu-Ag composite nanoparticle paste is also promising for packaging of other thermal and force sensitive chips.

Cu-modified SAPO-34 molecular sieves with different Cu loading amounts were prepared by ion-exchange and impregnation methods. Both series of catalysts were hydrothermally treated at 750 °C in 10 vol% H 2 O/air for 24 h. The catalysts were characterized by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H 2 temperature-programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR), NH 3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH 3 -TPD) and diffused reflectance infrared flourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). All the fresh catalysts show high activity toward the selective catalytic reduction of NO x with NH 3 (NH 3 -SCR) at low temperatures regardless of preparation method. Generally, the hydrothermal aging shifts the operation window of the catalysts towards high temperatures. The improvement in high-temperatures activity is attributed to the migration of surface CuO clusters into the ion-exchanged sites as isolated Cu 2+ during ageing, which suppresses the competitive oxidation of NH 3 . The loss of low-temperatures activity is also related to the decrease in the amount of active surface CuO clusters, inhibiting the oxidation of NO to NO 2 and fast SCR reaction. Interestingly, the amount of Lewis acid sites increase linearly with the increasing isolated Cu 2+ , while the Brønsted acidity is weakened.

Efficient removal of toxic metals using low-pressure membrane processes from contaminated waters is an important but challenging task. In the present work, a conducting microfiltration membrane prepared by embedding a stainless steel mesh in the active layer of a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane is developed to remove Cu(II) ions from contaminated waters. Results showed that the conducting membrane had favorable electrochemical properties and stability as cathode. Batch tests showed that Cu(II) removal efficiency increased with the increase of voltages and leveled off with the further enhancement of electric field. The optimal voltages were determined to be 1.0 V and 2.0 V for the influent Cu(II) concentrations of 5 mg/L and 30 mg/L, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction results demonstrated the presence of Cu(0) and Cu(OH) 2 on the membrane surface. The removal mechanisms involved the intrinsic adsorption of membrane, electrosorption of membrane, adsorption of deposited layer, chemical precipitation of Cu(OH) 2 and deposition of Cu(0) which were aided by electrophoresis and electrochemical oxidation-reduction. Long-term tests showed that the major contributors for Cu(II) removal were the deposition of Cu(0) by electrochemical reduction-oxidation (47.3% ± 8.5%) and chemical precipitation (41.1% ± 0.2%), followed by electrosorption, adsorption by the fouling layer and membrane intrinsic sorption.

The construction of highly efficient photocatalysts for generating high-purity hydrogen (H 2 ) through a sustainable water decomposition system is a feasible option to replace conventional non-renewable energy resources. Here, we report a simple chemical reduction approach to embed Cu–Pt alloy nanocrystals on the C 3 N 5 (CN) matrix, creating a Schottky heterojunction. The structural morphology, crystal phase, light-harvesting capacity, and photo-electrochemical properties of as-prepared heterostructures were investigated. The uniformly anchored Cu–Pt alloy nanocrystals improve the photocatalytic H 2 evolution (PHE) activity by promoting the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers and inhibiting recombination. Meanwhile, the alloyed nanocrystals strengthen the absorption of incident light energy, inducing photothermal energy. This improves the charge carrier separation and promotes the surface reaction kinetics. The PHE performance of as-developed catalysts could be adjusted by optimizing the molar ratio of Cu/Pt ions. Among them, the optimal Cu 1 Pt 3 /CN photocatalyst yields a higher PHE performance (672.85 μmol g −1 h −1 ). Notably, the Cu 1 Pt 3 /CN catalyst also reveals an enhanced photocatalytic activity for H 2 evolution in natural seawater. The possible PHE mechanism in CuPt/CN heterostructures is discussed toward the role of CuPt alloy deposition in boosting photocatalytic efficiency.

CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) facilitates the sustainable synthesis of fuels and chemicals. Although copper (Cu) enables CO2-to-multicarbon product (C2+) conversion, Cu-based electrocatalysts, particularly nanocatalysts, face challenges in poor selectivity and stability owing to the highly dynamic nature of Cu atoms under reaction conditions. Core–shell structures present a promising approach to address these issues by modulating the Cu overlayer–substrate interactions with atomic-level precision. Here, we report on Pd@Cu core–shell structures with atomically thin and nanometer-thick Cu overlayers on single-crystal Pd nanocubes with {100} facets promoting the CO2-to-C2+ conversion. The microstructures and surface compositions at the atomically sharp Pd/Cu interface were investigated by atomic-scale scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). Our results reveal that atomic-layer Cu epitaxially grows on Pd and adapts to the lattice of the Pd substrate. The reaction-driven migration of atomic-layer Cu is effectively suppressed on Pd due to the strong Cu–Pd interaction. While Pd only reduces CO2 to C1 products, atomic-layer Cu on Pd can initiate the C2+ production during the CO2RR. Thick Cu overlayers (∼15 nm) on Pd further enhance the C2+ faradaic efficiency while undergoing significant structural reconstruction, with only the 2–3 nm Cu layers near the Pd surface remaining stable and resistant to Cu migration after the CO2RR. We anticipate that Pd@Cu core–shell structures with intermediate Cu shell thickness hold significant potential for enhancing C2+ selectivity while maintaining high stability of nanocatalysts for CO2 reduction to liquid fuels.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) holds promise for cancer treatment by generating reactive oxygen species via photosensitizers (PSs) activated by specific wavelengths of light. However, the poor water solubility of PSs and the tumor microenvironment, characterized by high glutathione (GSH) levels and hypoxia, limit its efficacy against hypoxic tumors. To overcome these challenges, we developed a novel nano-reactor, Zr(Cu)-MOF@Au@DHA, to augment PDT-ferroptosis therapy. By incorporating Cu2+ into the porphyrin ring of PCN-224 and decorating it with gold nanoparticles, we enhanced the photocatalytic efficiency of the metal–organic framework (MOF). Additionally, dihydroartemisinin (DHA) was loaded onto the nano-reactor to boost the ferroptosis sensitivity of bladder cancer cells. Both in vitro and in vivo studies confirm that under laser irradiation, Zr(Cu)-MOF@Au@DHA significantly elevates oxidative stress, depletes GSH, and triggers DHA release, sensitizing tumor cells to ferroptosis and enhancing PDT-ferroptosis therapy for bladder cancer. This innovative nano-platform integrates near-infrared light-triggered PDT with chemotherapy to induce ferroptosis, addressing critical limitations in bladder cancer treatment.

Skin wound healing, particularly diabetic wound healing, is a common clinical challenge. Reducing bacterial infection and promoting angiogenesis are key strategies for diabetic wound healing. In this study, we construct the porphyrin-based Cu-covalent organic frameworks (Cu-COF) through a Schiff base condensation reaction, and then functionalize Cu-COF with 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)] (mPEG-DSPE), denoted as PEG/Cu-COF, for enhancing diabetic wound healing. PEG/Cu-COF exhibits dual enzymatic properties (glutathione (GSH) oxidase-like and peroxidase (POD)-like nanozymes), facilitating the depletion of GSH and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through a self-cascading enzymatic reaction, thereby leading to chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to investigate the catalytic mechanism and the results reveal that Cu-COF exhibits higher catalytic activity for POD. Moreover, porphyrin-based COF generates singlet oxygen and localize heating under white light and near-infrared irradiation, respectively. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that PEG/Cu-COF exhibits multimodal synergistic sterilization and promotes angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and re-epithelialization during diabetic wound healing. This work highlights the potential utilization of PEG/Cu-COF for self-supplying hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and amplifying self-cascade reactions to address the limitations of enzymatic treatment, while the synergistic effect of phototherapy improves sterilization and minimizes side effects in vivo .

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a new method for cancer treatment that produces highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the tumor microenvironment to induce cancer cell apoptosis or necrosis. However, the therapeutic effect of CDT is often hindered by intracellular H2O2 deficiency and the activity of antioxidants such as glutathione (GSH). In this study, a nano-catalyst HCM was developed using a self-assembled Cu/Mn-doped metal-organic framework, and its surface was modified with hyaluronic acid to construct a tumor-targeting CDT therapeutic agent with improved the efficiency and specificity. Three substances HHTP (2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11-hexahydroxybenzophenanthrene), Cu2+, and Mn2+ were shown to be decomposed and released under weakly acidic conditions in tumor cells. HHTP produces exogenous H2O2 in the presence of oxygen to increase the H2O2 content in tumors, Cu2+ reduces GSH content and generates Cu+ in the tumor, and Cu+ and Mn2+ catalyze H2O2 to produce OH in a Fenton-like reaction. Together, these three factors change the tumor microenvironment and improve the efficiency of ROS production. HCM showed selective and efficient cytotoxicity to cancer cells, and could effectively inhibit tumor growth in vivo, indicating a good CDT effect.

The development of simple, efficient and economical catalysts for the hydrogenation of biomass to produce high value-added chemicals is of great significance in solving the energy crisis. In this work, a series of non-precious metal catalysts (Cu–Al2O3–ZnO) with different defect sites were prepared by etching Devarda's alloy. Under optimized mild reaction conditions, the furfural conversion and furfuryl alcohol selectivity are both greater than 99.0%, and the catalyst has good reusability. Characterisation and experiments were used to investigate the activate species for hydrogenation reaction. It can be proved that the low-valent Cu species in the Cu–Al2O3–ZnO catalysts play an important role as adsorption and dissociation sites for H2. Different etching degrees and sample reduction temperatures of the alloy can be used to adjust the content of acidic sites such as Al2O3 and CuO, which have appropriate adsorption properties for furfural. ZnO promotes the dispersion of the Cu species and enhances the accessibility of the active sites. The etching method achieves the interaction between species to further enhance the stability and activity of the catalyst. The catalytic performance of the catalyst is very competitive and this study provides a new method for the efficient hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol.
