The development of green primary explosives has become a “holy grail” of energetic materials research. Cu-based 5-nitrotetrazolate is considered one of the most promising candidates due to its excellent blasting power and environmentally benign nature. However, synthesizing Cu-based 5-nitrotetrazolate controllably and securely remains highly challenging. Herein, room-temperature anodization of metallic Cu and a Cu(I)–imidazole nanowire array on copper substrates in a sodium 5-nitrotetrazolate electrolyte leads to in situ electrosynthesis of Cu(I) 5-nitrotetrazolate (DBX-1, CuNT) and its analogue, Cu(II) 5-nitrotetrazolate [Cu(NT)2], respectively. Both obtained CuNT and Cu(NT)2 films demonstrate remarkable energy output and good laser-induced ignition performance. The thermal stability (Tp = 291 °C) and electrostatic safety (E50 = 2.54 mJ) of CuNT proved to be superior to those of Cu(NT)2 (Tp = 257 °C, and E50 = 0.57 mJ). Remarkably, this study provides an exciting new method for the rational design and development of Cu-based 5-nitrotetrazolate as a primary explosive for advanced initiating applications.

Objectives To investigate the effect of zero-valent iron and copper (Fe/Cu) micro-electrolysis on dark fermentative hydrogen production from glucose by a mixed bacterial consortium and the possible mechanisms of increasing hydrogen yield. Results Compared to zero-valent iron and activated carbon (Fe/C) micro-electrolysis, Fe/Cu micro-electrolysis could increase hydrogen yield by 32.2%, hydrogen production potential by 27.1%, and the maximum hydrogen production rate by 62.0%. Meanwhile, the number of ferrous ions released into the liquid phase with Fe/Cu micro-electrolysis was about 27.0% greater than that released by Fe/C micro-electrolysis, because the dispersion of copper on the surface of iron could markedly improve electrochemical corrosion activity. Metabolic analysis revealed that Fe/C micro-electrolysis promoted acetate formation, which may have been responsible for the observed improvement in fermentative hydrogen production. Further investigation indicated that Fe/Cu micro-electrolysis increased the activity of hydrogenases and stimulated the expression of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase gene. Conclusion Fe/Cu micro-electrolysis is better than Fe/C micro-electrolysis or Fe corrosion alone for dark fermentative hydrogen production.

Al powder faces high expectations for its use as fuel due to its high energy density. However, it is covered with a dense Al 2 O 3 layer, which has a high melting point. Thus, the powder has poor heat release and combustion performance. In this work, Cu/Al energetic nanocomposites are fabricated using a simple replacement reaction between Al and CuF 2 solution. CuF 2 ionizes F − to remove the Al 2 O 3 layer on the Al powder surface and ionizes Cu 2+ to provide a Cu source for deposition. The as-obtained Cu/Al nanocomposites have a typical strawberry-like core/shell structure. Cu/Al nanocomposites with different Cu contents can be obtained by simply adjusting the molar ratio of CuF 2 to Al. The design of these Cu/Al nanocomposites can improve the intensity, speed, and completion of the heat release of Al powder. The quantity of Cu strongly influences the heat release magnitude. The maximum heat release of the Cu/Al energetic nanocomposites with 5% Cu content reaches 24.7 kJ g −1 , which is approximately 1.8 times that of raw Al. The heat release mechanism of the proposed Cu/Al nanocomposite is based on the oxidation reaction phenomenon. The as-obtained Cu/Al nanocomposites are expected to have wide application prospects in solid energetic materials.

Electrochemical water splitting is a very prospective technique to obtain the green hydrogen fuel . The oxygen evolution reaction becomes a limitation owing to the multiple electron transfer process. Thereby, a lot of attention is paid on the development of noble-metal free electrocatalysts for boosting the water oxidation process . The heterostructure of Mn 3 O 4 nanoparticles on Cu(OH) 2 nanowire arrays is fabricated, which exhibits an electrocatalytic activity close to RuO 2 . Compared with the single (hydro)oxides, the largely improved performance of the heterostructure towards water oxidation can be attributed to the enhanced charge transfer by the electronic interaction across the interface and the increased active sites for the rational combination of different active species . This work can be valuable for highlighting the role of heterostructure in the design and development of novel transition metal-based electrocatalysts for water oxidation.

The formation of Li dendrites and dead Li, which causes short circuits, continuous side reactions, low Coulombic efficiency (CE) and thermal runaway, severely hinders the development of anode-free lithium metal batteries . Here, Cu-based current collector with super-three-dimensional lithiophilic modification layer is developed by the pyrolysis of resorcinol formaldehyde on 3D engineered copper mesh (a-RF@3D CM). The modification layer, consisting of highly dispersed CuO x sites in the O-containing defective carbon, together with the super-three-dimensional microstructure exhibits excellent lithiophilicity and capability to effectively reduce the nucleation overpotential, accommodate the uniform dendrite-free lithium deposition, promote stable and inorganic-rich solid electrolyte interphase formation, and improve the cycle stability. As a result, the a-RF@3D CM current collector exhibits reduced nucleation overpotential of 14.2 mV and prolonged cycling life over 400 cycles with average CE >98.5%. In the LiFePO 4 ||a-RF@3D CM anode-free cell, average CE of 99.50% and capacity retention of 60.66% are successfully achieved after 100 cycles. Meanwhile, average CE 99.78% and capacity retention of 64.43% are successfully achieved in LiFePO 4 ||Li@a-RF@3D CM cell (N/P = 1.6) after 200 cycles. The work provides feasible way to realize the fabrication of anode-free lithium metal batteries and also enhance the understanding of solid electrolyte interface evolution and regulation strategy of Li plating–stripping in advanced Li metal-based batteries.

An electrochemical method was developed for the formation of Al-Cu alloys. The electrodeposition of aluminum on Mo and Cu substrates was studied using cyclic voltammetry in molten LiCl-KCl-AlCl 3 (2 wt.%). During the cathodic scan of the cyclic voltammograms, three different Al-Cu alloys were observed before pure Al formed on the Cu substrate. The electrochemical formation processes were studied using square wave voltammetry and open circuit chronopotentiometry. The products of the different reduction processes were identified using XRD. The XRD results indicated that three different Al-Cu intermetallic compounds, Al 4 Cu 9 , AlCu, and Al 2 Cu, were obtained using electrochemical deposition in the molten salt system.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), which is a potent immunosuppressant, has been widely used to prevent organ rejection after organ transplantation. In clinical practice, it is essential to monitor the free MPA concentration. Herein, convenient and fast electrochemical microsensing technology is developed for directly detecting the MPA concentration. To implement this method, ultrathin copper-based metal–organic framework (Cu–MOF) nanosheets with a thickness of about 6.6 nm are used to detect MPA. An analysis of electrochemical behavior reveals the direct electrochemical catalytic oxidation mechanism of MPA molecules on a Cu(II) tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (Cu–TCPP)-modified electrode. Furthermore, electrochemical testing results show that the ultrathin Cu–TCPP nanosheet-based microsensor exhibits high sensitivity and specificity for MPA in the nano- to micromolar range, with a detection limit of 10 nM. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) characterization reveals that the unsaturated metal ions in ultrathin nanosheets are the active sites responsible for boosting the catalytic oxidation of MPA molecules. High-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry further shows the catalytic oxidation product of MPA and that the phenolic hydroxyl group in the MPA molecule is the active site where the catalytic reaction occurs. The considerable sensing performance of the Cu–TCPP nanosheet-based microsensor proves that it is possible to develop a fast and convenient method for the direct high-frequency monitoring of immunosuppressive drugs.

Among the Cu(II) removal methods, adsorption is a favorable technique and has attracted large attention because of its effectiveness and low cost. In quest of seeking for a favorable adsorbent with a high Cu(II) adsorption capacity and excellent reusability, researchers have paid much attention to hydrogels with three-dimensional networks. In this study, a novel hydrogel (P(AMPS-co-VDT) hydrogel) based on free-radical polymerization was synthesized with ionic monomer sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfate (AMPS-Na + ) and 2-vinyl-4, 6-diamino-1, 3, 5-triazine (VDT) and applied for Cu(II) adsorption in aqueous solutions. The hydrogel was characterized for swelling performance, surface morphology, functional groups, thermal gravimetric behavior, and elements. The maximum Cu(II) adsorption capacity (175.75 mg/g) was relatively high compared with other hydrogels. The P(AMPS-co-VDT) hydrogel also was found to have a relatively good Cu(II) desorption and reuse behavior. The adsorption mechanism could be chelation and ion exchange. This work provides a new hydrogel for effective Cu(II) removal in the future.

Cu–Zn–Al catalyst was prepared by the co-precipitation method, and the catalytic performance for transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone (AP) to 1-phenylethanol (1-PhE) was evaluated using isopropanol (IPA) as a hydrogen source. The addition of Zn changed the morphology of the catalyst and reduced aggregation of catalyst particles, resulting in highly dispersed Cu active sites. As the Zn content increased, the valence state of Cu species changed. When the Cu/Zn molar ratio was 2/3, the Cu+/Cu0 ratio in the catalyst was 0.81, resulting in good selectivity for 1-PhE. The reaction conditions were optimized over the Cu–Zn–Al catalyst with a Cu/Zn molar ratio of 2/3. When the reaction was performed at 180 °C for 2 h with an IPA/AP molar ratio of 15, the AP conversion was 89.4% and the 1-PhE selectivity was 93.2%. The Cu–Zn–Al catalyst showed good stability, and AP conversion and the 1-PhE selectivity were essentially unchanged after five cycles.

Although fluorescent nanozymes exhibit great potential in sensing fields, few current nanozyme-based sensors are designed to discriminate catechol (CC) from its two isomers. Herein, fluorescent metal-organic framework (MOF)-based nanozyme is utilized for ratiometric and selective detection of CC without the interferences of hydroquinone (HQ) and resorcinol (RC). NH 2 -Cu-MOF plays multiple roles: (1) it exhibits excellent photoluminescence at 435 nm owing to the 2-amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid ligand; (2) Cu 2+ imparts MOF oxidase activity to trigger the oxidation of o -phenylenediamine (OPD) into luminescent products (oxOPD) with emissive peak at 571 nm, which quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of NH 2 -Cu-MOF (435 nm) through inner filter effect (IFE); (3) Cu 2+ can complex with CC specifically to produce complex containing o -semiquinone, which not only inhibits MOF’s oxidase-like activity but also quenches the fluorescence of MOF. Therefore, the presence of CC induces the decrease of fluorescence at 571 nm followed by the slight recovery of fluorescence at 435 nm. Notably, HQ and RC have negligible influences on the fluorescence of NH 2 -Cu-MOFs/OPD system. Based on these facts, a ratiometric fluorescence platform for CC has been constructed. It exhibits high sensitivity towards CC with LOD of 0.1 μM.

In this paper, Cu-doped carbon quantum dots (Cu-CQDs) were prepared by carrying out thermolysis of Na2[Cu(EDTA)] and hydroxylamine hydrochloride at 300 ºC for 2 h. The as-prepared Cu-CQDs were characterized by UV-Vis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Cu-CQDs exhibited good fluorescence property, high stability, excitation-dependent emission behavior and a quantum yield of 9.8%. More significantly, the synthesized Cu-CQDs were developed for sensing rutin (RT) based on the fluorescence quenching of the prepared Cu-CQDs. A good linear relationship between the fluorescence quenching of Cu-CQDs and different concentrations of RT was obtained in the range of 0.1-15 µg mL-1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9959. The detection limit was as low as 0.05 µg mL-1 (signal-to-noise ratio, S/N = 3). The possible mechanism of fluorescence quenching was explored, which was proved to be inner filter effect. Importantly, the proposed method was successfully applied in the detection of RT tablet samples and with satisfactory results, showing the practical applications.

The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) for high value-added multi-carbon product (C2+) production over copper oxide-based catalysts is an important way to realize the carbon cycle. However, developing effective reaction interfaces and microenvironments to improve the Faraday efficiency (FE) and current density of C2+ remains a major challenge. Herein, we construct Cu0–Cu+–NH2 composite interfaces with the assistance of SiO2. Using Cu2O nanoparticles as a model catalyst, a layer of porous SiO2 is first coated on the surface of the particles, and then, a silane coupling agent containing –NH2 is bonded on the surface of SiO2. The strong interaction between SiO2 and Cu2O at the interface induces the oxidation effect of low valent Cu, and even under the CO2RR, part of Cu+ is reduced to Cu0 and part of Cu+ still maintains positive valence, forming the interface of Cu0–Cu+. SiO2 also acts as a bridge between copper species and –NH2 to create a Cu catalyst–NH2 group interface. With the help of the synergistic effect of the composite interfaces, the optimized Cu2O@SiO2–NH2 catalyst achieves a FE of 81.2% for C2+ products with a current density of 292 mA cm−2 at −1.7 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode. In situ Raman and attenuate total reflectance-infrared absorption spectroscopy spectra show that the interaction between surface –NH2 and CO2 molecules enhances the adsorption and activation process of CO2 and promotes the formation of CO intermediates (*CO). On the Cu0–Cu+ interface, the C–C coupling process between *CO is accelerated, and the two interfaces synergistically promote the generation of C2+ products. This work provides a new strategy for constructing composite interfaces to improve the CO2RR to C2+ products.
