The exploitation of magnetic recyclable and effective degradation photocatalysts with wide-pH-range response was essential to the practical application in the photo-Fenton process. In this study, Cd/CdS coupling with CuO/Fe 2 O 3 /CuFe 2 O 4 (CF) was employed to prepare an efficient and recyclable photocatalyst Cd/CdS-CuO/Fe 2 O 3 /CuFe 2 O 4 (CCCF). The obtained CCCF was utilized to activate H 2 O 2 for the photo-Fenton degradation of tetracycline after verifying optical properties and energy band structures. The photo-Fenton degradation performance of CCCF on tetracycline was researched in the effects of photocatalyst concentration, initial pH and H 2 O 2 volume. The photo-Fenton removal efficiency of CCCF+H 2 O 2 was capable of achieving 82.43 % under the optimal reaction condition, which was apparently higher than that of Cd/CdS and CF. The enhanced degradation efficiency could be owned to the effective carriers separation thanks to the p-n heterojunction . The development of such photocatalysts offers a new approach to degrading organic pollutants from industrial wastewater , making it a valuable tool for contaminants degradation.

The development of single atom catalysts (SACs) with superior catalytic performance is a long-term goal for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). A novel SACs that single Co atoms anchored on CuO with enriched oxygen vacancies (O v ) is synthesized successfully by choosing a metal oxide as the carrier creatively. 100% of tetracycline (TC) can be removed by Co–CuO (O v )/PMS system within 3 min. The corresponding reaction rate constant is 3.1068 min −1 , which is much higher than that of CuO (O v ), ZIF-CoN 4 -C, Co–CuO (without O v ) and Co NP –CuO (O v ), respectively. Co(II) is the primary source of radical pathway (·OH and SO 4 · - ), and its regeneration is promoted by Cu(Ⅰ). The enriched O v is the major contribution to the nonradical pathway, which promotes the singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) generation together with accelerates the electron transfer from TC to catalyst-PMS*. Besides, the Co–CuO (O v ) exhibits an excellent stability and anti-interference capability. This study highlights a novel strategy to promote PMS activation by incorporating the single metal atoms on a metal oxide carrier with defects to accelerate the redox of dominate metal and stabilize the metal atoms simultaneously, which may inform the design for the next generation of SACs in AOPs.

A surface acoustic wave (SAW) H 2 S gas sensor based on CuO-TiO 2 p-n heterojunction film was designed and fabricated. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity to H 2 S due to the significant current response of CuO-TiO 2 film to H 2 S gas and the appropriate work point of SAW sensor based on CuO-TiO 2 composite film. The linearity change for sensor frequency shift is strongly associated with the location of work point when the H 2 S concentration increases from 1 to 300 ppm. In addition, the porosity of CuO-TiO 2 film is beneficial to the efficient adsorption for H 2 S, leading to the higher frequency shift of the sensor. The SAW sensor also shows good selectivity and stability to H 2 S with stable frequency shift under different humidity levels.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) loaded with copper oxide (CuO) as the combustion catalysts for solid propellants are able to increase the combustion rate and reduce the pressure index of propellants. The dispersibility of CNTs in water is one of the most important factors influencing the loading of CuO. In this paper, 1-dodecyl−3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C12C1Im]Cl) was prepared and used as the pretreatment agent of CNTs. The Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) results indicated the successful synthesis of [C12C1Im]Cl, which contains a positively charged imidazolium hydrophilic headgroup, enabling it as a cationic surfactant for the surface pretreatment of CNTs. The properties of the [C12C1Im]Cl-pretreated CNTs were compared with those pretreated with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and mixed acids (with a volume ratio of concentrated sulfuric acid to concentrated nitric acid = 3:1). X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that the crystalline structures of the CNTs were unchanged by using all of the three pretreatment methods. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) morphology analysis showed that the CNTs pretreated with [C12C1Im]Cl had the clearest tubular shape, the smoothest walls and the best dispersion in water without agglomeration. The impact of the pretreatment methods on the loading of CuO onto the surface of CNTs was also illustrated. It was concluded that by pretreatment with [C12C1Im]Cl, it led to the best CuO dispersion on the CNTs surface, the smallest CuO grain size and the largest CuO content. The study on the loading mechanism indicated that CuO could be successfully loaded on CNTs only when the pH > 4.6014, given the temperature is higher than 75°C.

Herein, a highly novel and effective electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor based on metal-organic framework (MOF, HKUST-1) derived CuO nanoneedles (HKUST-1 derived CuO NNs), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and TiO 2 was developed for ultrasensitive detection of catechol and luteolin. The HKUST-1 derived CuO NNs were employed as luminophore for the first time, which were successfully fabricated by using HKUST-1 as precursor. The results revealed that the HKUST-1 derived CuO NNs exhibit excellent ECL activity ascribed to its abundant active site and the high specific surface area, thus obviously promoting the separation and transfer of charge and further improving the current density of ECL sensor. To binary-amplify the signal of the ECL sensor, the AuNPs and TiO 2 nano-materials with good biocompatibility, great electron transport efficiency and high catalytic activity were used as co-reaction accelerators in the ECL process. Dependent on the above brilliant strategy, the proposed ECL sensor achieved wide linear ranges from 3 × 10 −9 – 1 × 10 −4 M for catechol and 1 × 10 −8 – 2 × 10 −4 M for luteolin, with the detection limits of 1.5 × 10 −9 M for catechol and 5.3 × 10 −9 M for luteolin, respectively. Furthermore, the ECL sensor exhibited outstanding selectivity, repeatability, stability and obtained great feedback on determination of catechol and luteolin in actual samples. The method not only filled a gap in the ECL application of MOF-derived materials but also provided a novel sight for design other highly efficient luminescent materials.

Oxidizing glycerol (the primary by-product of biodiesel production) into 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) can significantly boost the economic feasibility of the biodiesel industry, but the catalyst deactivation remains a significant challenge. Herein, we present a novel approach that achieves a breakthrough in the conversion of glycerol to DHA through the integration of porous zeolite platform (bio-ZSM-5), derived from corn straw templates, with the traditional Au/CuO catalyst via mechanical milling. Under alkali-free conditions, the synthesized Au/CuO@bio-ZSM-5 catalyst exhibits remarkable glycerol conversion rate of 97.3% and DHA selectivity of 92.2%. Notably, the catalyst retains its efficacy with a glycerol conversion of 89.7% and DHA selectivity of 90.3% even after three regeneration cycles, surpassing all previously documented catalysts for this specific reaction. Serial characterizations and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the incorporation of bio-ZSM-5 can modify the electronic structure of surface Au, reduce the adsorption energy of glycerol, and elevate the reduction temperature. This work is expected to provide an effective perspective for the design of catalysts with high cyclic stability.

Epoxy resin, as a thermosetting polymer material with good performance, has been limited in application due to its high flammability. In this investigation, porous CuO-ZnO hollow spheres (CZHS) were prepared by a hydrothermal method. By incorporation with ionic liquids loaded CuO-ZnO hollow spheres (CZHS@Ils) and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) into epoxy resin (EP) matrix, a new composite flame retardant material, named as EP/7.5APP/1.5CZHS@ILs, was developed for improvement of their thermal insulation and flame retardancy. The thermal conductivity of EP/7.5APP/1.5CZHS@ILs was measured to be 0.0197 W m −1 K −1 , which is lesser than that of APP incorporated epoxy resin (EP/APP), demonstrating good thermal insulation capability. The flame retardancy were assessed using the limiting oxygen index (LOI) test, the Vertical flame testing (UL-94) test, and the cone calorimeter (CC) test. The results obtained from LOI test show that the EP/7.5APP/1.5CZHS@ILs has good flame retardancy with a LOI value of up to 28, better than that of pure EP which has a LOI value of 19.2. Moreover, a V-0 level of the EP/7.5APP/1.5CZHS@ILs was observed from the UL-94 test. The peak heat release rate (PHRR) was reduced to 257.9 kW m −2 , which is 74.8 % lower than that of the pure EP. Such results are attributed to the synergy effect of CZHS@ILs and APP which offers the epoxy resin excellent flame retardancy. Taking advantages of the excellent thermal insulation, flame retardancy and better mechanical properties, the as-resulted EP/7.5APP/1.5CZHS@ILs may hold great potential for future thermal insulation and flame-retardant applications of energy saving building.

Antibiotics are of emerging concern due to their widespread use, lack of adequate treatment, and for their potential to threaten human health and the environment. Here, a facile fabrication approach for synthesizing ZnO/CuO-bentonite composites was investigated via carbon-bed pyrolysis of bentonite followed by ZnO/CuO co-precipitation. Sorbents were synthesized using a range of bentonite pyrolysis temperatures, metal oxide contents, and ZnO:CuO mass ratios. The ZnO/CuO-bentonite composites exhibited diverse functional groups, excellent mesoporosity, and high specific surface area (135.0 m 2 g −1 , four times that of pyrolyzed bentonite-only control). Ciprofloxacin removal was maximized at a bentonite pyrolysis temperature of 450 °C, a total metal oxide content of 25 %, and a Zn/Cu ratio between 95:5 and 93:7, and this material had an observed experimental CIP adsorption of 451 mg g −1 and a calculated maximum adsorption capacity of 1249.3 mg g −1 . This excellent CIP sorption ability was attributed to its abundant surface active sites and multiple sorption mechanisms, including hydrogen-bond interaction, ion exchange, and electrostatic interaction. These results illustrate that ZnO/CuO-bentonite composite sorbents have excellent potential for use in environmental remediation and water treatment applications.

Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) technology is considered a promising combustion method with inherent CO 2 capture. In this study, the sol-gel method and combustion synthesis were employed to produce precursor materials (P) of CuO-based oxygen carriers (OCs). The effects of vacuum drying conditions on both NO x emissions from precursor combustion and oxygen carrier cycle reaction characteristics were investigated. Vacuum-dried precursors emitted less NO x during the precursor calcination process. At a heating rate of 1 °C/min, the vacuum-dried precursors exhibited an average reduction of 24.13 % in NO x emissions compared with those prepared through atmospheric pressure drying. An increased amount of Cu 2 (OH) 3 NO 3 in the precursor results in greater heat release during the self-propagating high-temperature combustion synthesis used to synthesize the oxygen carrier. Furthermore, the complete combustion of the nitrogen-containing precursor leads to a reduction in the emission of NO x . CuO-based OCs exhibited stable redox reactions over 10 cycles. Vacuum drying enhanced CH 4 conversion and CO 2 yield of OC1 by 14.04 % and 13.21 %, respectively, compared to atmospheric pressure drying. The results indicate that the CuO-based OCs obtained through vacuum-dried significantly enhance redox properties. This study shows that vacuum-dried reduces NO x emissions from nitrogen precursors and enhances the cyclic efficiency of OCs from precursor combustion.

Electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) offers a promising strategy for CO 2 conversion into value-added C 2+ products and facilitates the storage of renewable resources under comparatively mild conditions, but still remains a challenge. Herein, we propose the strategy of surface reconstruction and interface integration engineering to construct tuneable Cu 0 –Cu + –Cu 2+ sites and oxygen vacancy oxide derived from CeO 2 /CuO nanosheets (OD-CeO 2 /CuO NSs) heterojunction catalysts and promote the activity and selectivity of CO 2 RR. The optimized OD-CeO 2 /CuO electrocatalyst shows the maximum Faradic efficiencies for C 2+ products in the H-type cell, which reaches 69.8% at −1.25 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). Advanced characterization analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations further confirm the fact that the existence of oxygen vacancies and Cu 0 –Cu + –Cu 2+ sites modified with CeO 2 is conducive to CO 2 adsorption and activation, enhances the hydrogenation of *CO to *CHO, and further promotes the dimerization of *CHO, thus promoting the selectivity of C 2+ generation. This facile interface integration and surface reconstruction strategy provides an ideal strategy to guide the design of CO 2 RR electrocatalysts.

In this study, a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated as Anammox and used as parent reactor. Then three SBRs seeded from the parent reactor were adopted for investigating the effect of CuO, ZnO and TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) on nitrogen removal, microbial activity and microbial communities of Anammox. The bioactivities of anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AAOB) after different exposure period were detected by batch experiments. Results showed that NPs performed immediate and durable toxicity on Anammox. The nitrogen removal efficiency decreased to 2.3%, 2.9% and 14.0% from 71%, the Anammox rate decreased to 0.13, 0.16 and 0.75 from 2.76 mg h −1 g −1 VSS, and the relative abundance of AAOB decreased to 2.57%, 2.78% and 2.61% from 7.99%, respectively. CuO and ZnO NPs performed similar effect, while CuO NPs led to the most severe toxicity and lowest accumulative effect. TiO 2 NPs showed the lowest toxicity but most durable suppression on Anammox process.

Conjugative plasmid transfer is a major contributor to the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the role of conventional fungicides on conjugative plasmid transfer has been neglected. Based on the condition that the increasing use of the combination of nano- and conventional fungicides will lead to combined contamination, the effects of a conventional fungicide prochloraz alone or in combination with nano-CuO on the conjugation of plasmid RP4 between Escherichia coli in phosphate-buffered saline were investigated in this study. The results demonstrated that 50 µg/L prochloraz alone significantly increased the conjugative transfer by 1.82 folds. The combination of 100 µg/L nano-CuO and prochloraz at 5, 50, and 500 µg/L significantly increased the conjugation by 2.56, 3.61, and 2.13 folds, respectively. The promotion of conjugative transfer of ARGs mediated by fungicides is mainly attributed to (i) the increased cell membrane permeability, (ii) the increased cell adhesion via enhancing the synthesis of polysaccharides in extracellular polymeric substances, and (iii) the up-regulation of the genes relevant to conjugation, oxidative stress, SOS response, outer membrane, polysaccharide export, intercellular adhesion, and ATP synthesis. Our findings provide evidence for the contribution of fungicides to ARGs transfer, which is significant to control the risk of ARGs dissemination.
