The development of low-temperature and water-resistant heterogeneous catalysts without noble metals is vital in the effective treatment of atmospheric pollutants in practical application. Herein, we report that Cu(I)-O-Co interfaces of ultrafine CuO x on Co 3 O 4 prepared by co-precipitation exhibit promising low-temperature activity and good water resistance. Experiment results together with density functional theory (DFT) calculations not only verify that Cu + species are stabilized over Cu(I)-O-Co interfaces because of the strong interaction between Cu 2 O 1 and Co 3 O 4 , but also demonstrate that the Cu(I)-O-Co interface facilitates oxygen species activation for promoting catalytic oxidation and reduces the accumulation of hydroxyl and bicarbonate species on the surface of CuO x /Co 3 O 4 . DFT calculations also reveal that the CO oxidation rate-limiting step via the dissociation pathway under dry conditions is the Co-OO-Cu species dissociation while the CO coupling with the adsorbed O 2 becomes the rate determining step for CO oxidation through the direct pathway over Cu(I)-O-Co interface under humid conditions. Further, the CuO x /Co 3 O 4 catalyst also exhibits superior and stable catalytic activity for toluene oxidation, comparable with partial supported noble metal catalysts (T 90 = 190 °C). The present work gives a useful strategy for the rational design of low-temperature and water-resistant non-precious-based catalysts to be applicable in CO and toluene removal in practical applications.

A large number of toxic fumes evolved from polymeric materials are a great threat to human evacuation. The aim of this work is to dramatically reduce the generation of smoke and toxic gaseous products upon polymers burning. A highly efficient titanium carbide/nano-copper (Ti 3 C 2 T x /Nano-Cu) hybrid smoke suppressant was synthesized by interficial adhesion and then incorporated into thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to fabricate TPU nanocomposites. The Ti 3 C 2 T x /Nano-Cu hybrid was homogeneously dispersed in the TPU matrix and showed a strong interfacial interaction with the TPU host. Introducing the Ti 3 C 2 T x /Nano-Cu hybrid into TPU led to enhanced high-temperature stability. Furthermore, the smoke production rate, CO production rate and total CO yield of the TPU nanocomposite containing 2 wt% Ti 3 C 2 T x /Nano-Cu hybrid decreased by 66.7%, 51.8% and 52.9%, respectively, compared with those of pure TPU. The reduced fire hazards of the TPU were due to the physical barrier, the catalytic charring and the chemical conversion of Ti 3 C 2 T x /Nano-Cu hybrid.

CeO2 was synthesized by the co-precipitation method on the Cu mesh substrate and modified the surface of CeO2@Cu mesh by stearic acid (SA). The superhydrophobic behavior was ascribed to the combination of hierarchical micro–nanostructure of CeO2 and the hydrophobic alkyl groups from SA. The SA-CeO2@Cu mesh had antiacid and base stability and excellent durability as well as high separation efficiency. The separation efficiency can be up to 98.0% after separating 30 times.

Peracetic acid (PAA) is commonly used as the strong oxidant in many areas. However, high concentration of PAA can be harmful to health of people. The quantitative determination of PAA is of great significance. Here, a metal–organic framework (MOF) is introduced into the electrochemical sensor for PAA detection. The influence of common transition metal centers on the performance of electrochemical detection of PAA was investigated and the results showed the Cu-1,3,5-trimesic acid (Cu-BTC) was the best original MOF. Ag nanoparticles were decorated in the Cu-BTC to further improve the electrocatalytical activity. The concentration of the added Ag salt and the quality of the reducing agent tannic acid (TA) had a great impact on the performance. The final sample optimized for the synthesis conditions was named as Ag NPs/Cu-BTC. The electrochemical sensor based on Ag NPs/Cu-BTC/GCE was fabricated for sensing PAA with a wide linear range (0.1–5000 μM), low detection limit (0.046 μM, S/N = 3) and high sensitivity (1013.4 μA mM −1 cm −2 ). The water stability of Ag NPs/Cu-BTC and the anti-interference ability of the sensor were good. The electrochemical sensor could be applied in detecting the concentration of PAA in the commercially available peracetic acid, suggesting the practical application value.

Here, we report simple one-step solution phase synthesis for face-centered tetragonal FePtCu nanoparticles (NPs). Cu atoms are doped into the FePt lattice during synthesis, occupying Fe sites to form FePtCu alloy NPs. The phase and magnetic properties of the NPs can then be altered by varying the reaction conditions. We report room-temperature coercivities as high as 5.09 kOe for FePtCu NPs synthesized at 310 °C, significantly higher than the coercivity of pure FePt NPs without Cu doping. We suggest that Cu incorporation into the FePt lattice is responsible for the observed ordering enhancement of the as-prepared NPs, specifically increasing atomic diffusivity during the fcc-to-fct phase transformation. Our findings provide critical insights the effects Cu doping, namely its role in inducing atomic rearrangement and phase transformation of FePt NPs at low synthesis temperatures.

In order to develop a cut-price, high-efficiency non-mercuric catalyst for acetylene hydrochlorination reaction, several kinds of supported Cu-based catalysts containing phosphoramide ligands have been synthesized by wet impregnation method. The outstanding catalytic activity was obtained over 15 %Cu10 %HMPA/SAC catalyst with acetylene conversion of 87.25 % in the test conditions of T =180 °C, GHSV (C 2 H 2 ) =180 h −1 and V (HCl): V (C 2 H 2 ) = 1.2. The catalyst with optimal HMPA ligand also exhibited splendid stability in 100 h lifetime test. The analysis for XRD, TEM, TGA, ICP, H 2 -TPR and XPS indicated that HMPA ligand can improve Cu species dispersion, restrain coke deposition, suppress loss of loading Cu, and stabilize valence state of active Cu species. Due to electron transfer mechanism, steady coordination structure between Cu and HMPA led to favorable properties of Cu-based catalyst, which was further proved by FT-IR, Raman spectra, O 1s XPS spectra integrated with DFT calculations.

Unique and well-aligned Cu@C core-shell nanocubes were rationally designed for nonenzymatic glucose detection using cubic Cu 2 O nanoparticles immerged in water-soluble polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) coatings as precursor. As a consequence, the optimum Cu@C nanocubes with a shell thickness of ∼6.48 nm were prepared by the initial coating of Cu 2 O nanoparticles with 1.5 mg/mL PVP and subsequent annealing at 600 °C. After thermal annealing process, Cu 2 O nanoparticles were reduced to Cu nanocubes; at the same time, PVP was pyrolyzed to carbon shell encapulating the cubic Cu core. Due to efficient protection of the carbon shell of Cu core from oxidization and the advantageous inter-connected core-shell conductive networks, the hierarchical Cu@C nanocubes exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity towards glucose oxidation. Under optimum condition, the resulted 600 °C annealed 1.5 mg/mL-Cu@C/Nafion modified glassy carbon electrode displayed high efficient nonenzymatic glucose detection, offering a wide linear range of 40 μM – 40 mM, with low detection limit at 21.35 μM (S/N = 3) and high sensitivity peak of 2565 μA mM –1 cm –2 . More importantly, the well-designed Cu@C core-shell nanocubes could be utilized as a promising nonenzymatic sensor in practical biological applications for the detection of glucose concentration in human serum samples.

The impregnation method is commonly employed to prepare supported multi-metallic catalysts but it is often difficult to achieve homogeneous and stable alloy structures. In this work, we revealed the dependence of alloying behavior on the support morphology by fabricating Ni–Cu over different shaped CeO2. Specifically, nanocube ceria favoured the formation of monometallic Cu and Ni-rich phases whereas polycrystalline and nanorod ceria induced the formation of a mixture of Cu-rich alloys with monometallic Ni. Surprisingly, nanopolyhedron (NP) ceria led to the generation of homogeneous Ni–Cu nanoalloys owing to the equivalent interactions of Ni and Cu species with CeO2 (111) facets which exposed relatively few coordinative unsaturated sites. More importantly, a strong interfacial effect was observed for Ni–Cu/CeO2-NP due to the presence of CeOx adjacent to metal sites at the interface, resulting in excellent stability of the alloy structure. With the aid of CeOx, NiCu nanoalloys showed outstanding catalytic behaviour in acetylene and hexyne hydrogenation reactions. This study provides valuable insights into how fully alloyed and stable catalysts may be prepared by tailoring the support morphology while still employing a universal impregnation method.

The monodisperse Cu-Ag core-shell nanoparticles (Cu@Ag NPs) for electric conductive inks were successfully prepared by a simple two-step process consisting of thermal decomposition and galvanic displacement. It was found that 20 mol.% coverage of Ag enabled Cu@Ag NPs oxidation resisting with air. A new approach to achieve coalescence and sintering of Cu@Ag NPs at room temperature was proposed. 1-amino-2-propanol (MIPA), hydrophilic amine with a short C-chain, was first applied to replace the strong stabilizer, the strong stabilizer oleylamine (OAM) adsorbed on particles, thereby obtained preliminary agglomeration and hydrophobic -to- hydrophilic transition to improve the wetting capability of electrolyte solution on the surface of metal film. Then, the reducing electrolyte NaBH 4 solution was used as the destabilizing agent to deeply coalesce particles, and also inhibit the electrochemical corrosion. It takes only a few minutes to achieve sintering in air at room temperature. Due to the effective sintering at room temperature, the conductive patterns could be formed on thermo-sensitive substrates. The eventual resistivity was found to be as low as 36.3 μΩ·cm.

Series of “Hopcalite” catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation are prepared through a facile ultra-sonic spray pyrolysis approach. It has been found that the spray pyrolysis temperature and Cu/Mn atomic ratio in initial precursors show significant impacts on the catalytic activity of Cu-Mn-O catalysts. The catalyst synthesized at 550 °C with Cu/Mn = 1/2 in precursor (Cu1Mn2-550) shows the highest catalytic activity towards CO oxidation (T 100 = 63 °C; E a = 17.04 KJ mol −1 ), owing to the formation of CuMn 2 O 4 phase with poor crystallinity. The synergistic effect of Cu and Mn species in spinel Cu-Mn-O phases attributes to the evaluated catalytic activity compared with those of pure oxides of copper or manganese towards CO oxidation. The results reveal that Cu1Mn2-550 not only provides more defects and vacancies to create more active sites, but also generates more highly active Cu (II) to promote CO oxidation. On the contrary, the decreasing amount of Cu (II) and the higher degree of crystallinity resulting from higher synthesis temperature lead to the deterioration of catalytic activity. Moreover, the phase transformation among the Cu x Mn 3-x O 4 spinels also shows significant effect on CO conversion rate. Finally, the formation mechanism of Cu-Mn-O catalysts and related CO oxidation process are discussed based on series of characterizations.

Copper is an essential mineral nutrient for the human body. However, excessive levels of copper accumulated in the body can cause some diseases. Therefore, it is great significant to establish a sensitive bioprobe to recognize copper ions (Cu 2+ ) in vivo. In our work, nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) and gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) are selected as luminescent nanomaterials and the Au NCs/N- CDs nanohybrids is successfully synthesized by coupling method. The Au NCs/N-CDs exhibited characteristic dual-emission peaks at 450 and 620 nm when excited by a single-wavelength of 380 nm. When different amounts of Cu 2+ are introduced, the fluorescence intensity of the Au NCs is gradually weakened and fluorescence intensity of the N-CDs is almost unchanged, which can facilitate the visual detection of Cu 2+ . The Au NCs/N-CDs nanohybrid possesses good selectivity to Cu 2+ with a limit of detection (LOD) is 3.5 μM and linear detection range of 10–150 μM. Visualization detection of Cu 2+ is implemented by using nanoprobe in water samples. Furthermore, the ratiometric nanoprobe is utilized to the toxicity test of liver cancer cells, indicating excellent biocompatibility and low toxicity. This nanoprobe has been used to the intracellular fluorescence imaging. Moreover, this method is expected to be used to monitor the changes of Cu 2+ concentration in hepatocytes.
