Cu electrodes are prepared by thermal annealing of Cu nanowires under Ar atmosphere at 600–800 °C for 30 min. Investigation of as-prepared electrodes by both X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy indicates that after annealing a rise in the size of Cu nanowires occurs due to the melting of some small-sized Cu nanowires. When the annealing temperature is not too high (e.g. 600 °C), the melting of small-sized nanowires may create many tightly-connected junctions among big-sized nanowires, leading to the formation of a stable, porous nanowire network. The measurements of both electrochemical active surface areas and electrocatalytic activity of these Cu electrodes demonstrate that their active surface areas decrease with increasing the annealing temperature and the electrode prepared at 600 °C shows the highest activity for reduction of nitrate in acidic medium. Examination of the electrode prepared at 600 °C as nitrate sensor via differential pulse voltammetry reveals that this sensor exhibits excellent performance: a linear response ranging from 8 to 5860 μM (R 2 = 0.999), a sensitivity of 1.375 μA/μM, and a detection limit of 1.35 μM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Compared with the Cu-based sensors reported in the literature, this nanowire-based sensor not only possesses the broadest linear range but also has a very low detection limit. Its stability, anti-interference ability, and application to nitrate detection in real samples are also investigated.

Anatase TiO 2 nanosheets (-ns-) with dominant exposed {001} facets were used as support to load copper, and the synthesized Cu/TiO 2 -ns catalysts were evaluated for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol. Under the reaction conditions, P = 3.0 MPa, T = 260 °C, V (N 2 ): V (H 2 ): V (CO 2 ) = 8:69:23 and gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) = 3600 mL g −1 h −1 , the methanol yield reached an appealing high value, 5.6%. Copper-loading amount, calcination temperature and reduction atmosphere have been investigated in this work, which significantly influence the particle sizes of copper and/or the defect concentration in TiO 2 , then leading to different catalytic performance. Characterizations of XRD, EPR, CO 2 -TPD and FTIR demonstrate that higher specific surface area of Cu is good for the hydrogenation of CO 2 and adequate amount of Ti 3+ plays important roles in CO 2 activation. Both of them facilitate high turnover frequency (TOF) of methanol formation.

DNA serves as the primary target for numerous metal complexes in suppression tumor cell proliferation, and Poly ADP ribose polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is critical for DNA repair. In this study, benzothiazole hydrazone was used as a framework to design and synthesize a series of Cu(II) complexes (Cu1-Cu3), which functions as novel PARP-1 inhibitors. These Cu(II) complexes not only effectively inhibited the proliferation of a panel of tumor cells (IC 50 range: 0.51–5.37 μM) but also exhibited potent PARP-1 inhibitory activity (IC 50 range: 0.45–1.52 μM). Notably, complex Cu3 had the most potent activities, exhibiting strong cytotoxicity against T98G cells (IC 50 = 0.51 μM) and significant PARP-1 inhibition (IC 50 = 0.45 μM). Additionally, Cu3 effectively inhibited the migration of T98G cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that Cu3 generated excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), induced DNA damage, exacerbated DNA double-strand breaks by inhibiting PARP-1 activity, and promoted apoptosis in tumor cells via the mitochondrial pathway.

Herein, Cu@Sn core–shell particles were prepared and used to formulate a novel transient liquid phase sintering composite paste. Composite joints fabricated from this paste achieved low-temperature bonding while offering excellent mechanical strength and high-temperature service capability. Cu@Sn particles with a uniform Sn shell were produced via electroless tin plating, and the effect of the Cu@Sn: Sn mass proportions on the shear strength of the joints was systematically evaluated. The joints prepared by sintering the paste with a Cu@Sn: Sn mass proportion of 6:4 at 260 °C under 10 MPa pressure for 15 min achieved a shear strength of 106.84 MPa at 25 °C and retained 94.26 MPa at 300 °C. Microstructural characterization revealed that appropriate addition of Sn particles effectively regulated the formation and distribution of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and markedly reduced the porosity of the sintered layer. The formation of fine-grained Cu 3 Sn substantially enhanced the joint strength; meanwhile, the development of subgrains and low-angle grain boundaries on the Cu substrate side of the substrate/sintered layer interface improved the interfacial bonding. The accumulation of dislocations at the soft Cu particles against the hard IMC phases generated back stress and increased strain hardening, promoting hetero-deformation induced strengthening in the heterostructured materials. Twin boundaries observed in some Cu cores also acted as barriers to dislocation motion, promoting dislocation storage while preserving the plasticity of the Cu phase, thereby further increasing the strength of the Cu@Sn composite joints.

An innovative ACF/CC@FeOCl-assisted FTEF-SR system was established. • FeOCl-Cu served as catalyst for the electro-Fenton and as a PMS activator. • The primary generated reactive oxygen species were • OH and SO 4 · − . • Preferential removal of sulfamethoxazole was achieved in different water matrices. • The system exhibits good stability and energy-saving performance. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX), a representative sulfonamide antibiotic contaminant, poses significant environmental risks. Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation-driven electro-Fenton (EF) processes have attracted considerable attention for the removal of organic pollutants from water. In this study, a flow-through heterogeneous EF system integrated with PMS activation (FTEF-SR) was developed using a FeOCl-Cu-modified carbon cloth cathode for the efficient degradation of SMX. The FTEF-SR system exhibited broad pH adaptability and excellent recyclability. Under optimized conditions, near-complete removal of SMX (>99%) was achieved within 60 min. Meanwhile, the effects of catalyst dosage and ratio, current, PMS concentration, electrolyte type, pH, as well as initial concentration were systematically investigated. At a current density of 9 mA cm⁻ 2 and a PMS concentration of 1 mM, SMX and total organic carbon (TOC) removal reached 98.9% (30 min) and 80.2% (180 min), respectively. Moreover, the real-world water matrix and common coexisting ions did not significantly inhibit the removal efficiency of SMX, still maintaining above 92%, indicating that this coupling method was feasible in real application. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests revealed that • OH and SO 4 •– dominated the degradation of SMX in the FTEF-SR system. Overall, this work not only advances the development of efficient and sustainable wastewater purification technologies but also provides valuable mechanistic insights for the degradation of antibiotic contaminants.

A copper metal-organic framework composite nanozyme (Cu-MOF) with peroxidase-like activity was prepared using an improved room temperature method. Cu-MOF can catalyze H 2 O 2 to release (•OH), thereby oxidizing the colorless chromogenic substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into a blue oxidized product (oxTMB), which has a maximum UV absorption peak at 652 nm. Nicosulfuron can regulate the electronic balance of the redox pair (Cu 2+ /Cu + ) on the Cu-MOF surface, thereby enhancing its peroxidase activity and promoting the deepening of the TMB blue color. Based on this principle, a colorimetric detection method for nicosulfuron was established. The linear range of this method is 0.2–10 μg/mL −1 , and the detection limit is 0.02 mg/kg. This method has been applied for the detection of nicosulfuronin corn samples, with recovery rate ranging from 90.88% to 117.33%, and all relative standard deviation being less than 4%.

In this work, a novel mixed-component bimetallic metal–organic framework (MOF) composite material was synthesized via a solvothermal approach, and its structural and textural properties were systematically characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2adsorption/desorption analysis, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, the single-component adsorption isotherms of CO2and N2were experimentally measured and fitted to the Langmuir–Freundlich model. The CO2/N2selectivity of the composite was evaluated based on the ideal adsorption solution theory (IAST). The results demonstrated that the addition of Zn2+significantly enhanced the specific surface area and improved the CO2adsorption capacity (3.97 mmol/g at 35 °C and 1 bar), with an increase of 31.5% in comparison with the Cu-BTC/MCFs (3.02 mmol/g). Meanwhile, the Zn-Cu-BTC/MCFs had good recyclability and CO2/N2selectivity up to 12.5 determined via IAST (CO2:N2= 85:15).

Electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) to obtain C2/multi-carbon fuels is an appealing technology to reduce carbon emission and store intermittent renewable electricity. The C–C coupling process, as the most critical step for generating C2/multi-carbon fuels, strongly depends on the concentration of *CO intermediates around the active sites. In this work, we prepared porous copper nanospheres (P-Cu) that greatly improved the C–C coupling process by enriching *CO intermediates in the pore structure . The specific pore features of P-Cu were characterized in detail by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption tests. Obviously, the P-Cu exhibits higher specific surface area and richer pore structure than the control sample compact copper nanosphere (C-Cu). The CO gas sensor and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) tests prove that the P-Cu has better CO adsorption and enrichment capacity than C-Cu due to the rich pore structure. As a result, P-Cu exhibited a high C2 selectivity with a Faradaic efficiency (FE C2 ) of 57.22% at −1.3 V ( vs . RHE), which is about 2.5-fold than the C-Cu (FE C2 of 22.71%). This work provides an effective strategy to improve the activity and selectivity of C2 products in CO 2 RR by optimizing the adsorption/enrichment property of intermediates.

We aimed to synthesize sensitive electrochemical sensors for hydrogen peroxide sensing by using zinc oxide nanorods grown on a fluorine-doped tin oxide electrode by using the facial hydrothermal method. It was essential to keep the surface morphology of the material (nanorods structure); due to its large surface area, the concerned material has enhanced detection ability toward the analyte. The work presents a non-enzymatic H2O2 sensor using vertically grown zinc oxide nanorods on the electrode (FTO) surfaces with Cu nanoparticles deposited on zinc oxide nanorods to enhance the activity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy-dispersive X-Ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electrochemical methods were used to characterize copper–zinc oxide nanorods. In addition to the high surface area, the hexagonal Cu-ZnO nanorods exhibited enhanced electrochemical features of H2O2 oxidation. Nanorods made from Cu-ZnO exhibit highly efficient sensitivity of 3415 μAmM−1cm−2 low detection limits (LODs) of 0.16 μM and extremely wide linear ranges (0.001–11 mM). In addition, copper-zinc oxide nanorods demonstrated decent reproducibility, repeatability, stability, and selectivity after being used for H2O2 sensing in water samples with an RSD value of 3.83%. Cu nanoparticles decorated on ZnO nanorods demonstrate excellent potential for the detection of hydrogen peroxide, providing a new way to prepare hydrogen peroxide detecting devices.

Among clean energy transformation devices, fuel cells have gained special attention over the past years; however, advancing appropriate non-valuable metal impetuses to halfway supplant the customary Pt/C impetus is still in progress. In this paper, we propose a specific electrocatalyst in the formula of highly-active Cu species, associated with coated carbon (Cu@C-800), for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) through post-treatment of a self-assembled precursor. The optimized catalyst Cu@C-800 showed excellent ORR performance (i.e., the onset potential was 1.00 V vs. RHE, and half-wave potential of 0.81 V vs. RHE), high stability, resistance to methanol, and high four-electron selectivity. The enhancement is attributed to the synergy between the carbon matrix and a high explicit surface region and rich Cu nano-species.

Grain orientations are a significant factor under high-density current stressing, but there are few literature reports about the influence of grain orientation on electromigration in composite solder joints. Most research relating to the electromigration behavior of composite solders have been carried out by adding different kinds of reinforced particles in order to relieve the electromigration phenomena, while the impacts of grain orientation on the electromigration have been neglected. In this paper, Sn-3.5Ag composite solder joints reinforced by 2 vol.% Cu were fabricated to investigate the effects of Sn grain orientation on electromigration. The one-dimensional single-grained solder joints were stressed under a constant current density of 10 4 A/cm 2 for different times at room temperature. The samples, of which the c -axis of the Sn grains was nearly parallel to the electron flow direction, exhibited serious electromigration-induced phenomena after current stressing for 528 h. However, electromigration was not observed in the samples where the Sn grains had their c -axis perpendicular to the electron flow direction. Therefore, the grain orientations have a great influence on the electromigration behavior in composite solders and Cu atoms moved faster along the c -axis of the Sn grains than along the a - and b -axes during current stressing.

The reliability of Cu bonding technology in three-dimensional integration packaging is limited by high sintering temperatures and the growth of oxide at the joining interface. Hence, we propose a bionic adhesion interface of creeper sucker on the Cu substrate and covered with monolayer graphene, which increases the shear strength by 3 times compared to the conventional flat Cu substrate. The covered graphene layer effectively inhibits the generation of oxide at the joint interface and maintains a high shear strength after aging at 300 °C for 48 h Nanoscale Cu particles could reduce the chemical potential energy of the substrate surface , and stable bonding was achieved at 200 °C under a pressure of 2 MPa. Molecular dynamics simulation models reveal crystal structure evolution and residual stresses during the sintering process . This work demonstrates that bionic microstructures applied to copper bonding play an important role in interface enhancement, resulting in reliable bonding of Cu substrate at low temperatures. The method proposed here can provide insight into diversified applications including high-power light-emitting diodes soldering, SiC electronic devices, and flexible electrode interconnects.
