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.

With the development of oil enterprise and petrochemical industry, more and more oily wastewater is generated, which highlights the urgency of oil/water separation. In order to solve the troubles of cumbersome membrane training and effortless clogging when the use of the membrane separation method, this find out about proposes a new and simple technique to prepare modified oil/water separation membranes based on commonly used PVDF membranes with the assist of covalent cross-linking of pyrogallic gallic acid (PG) and glutathione (GSH), and chelating and liganding of copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs). PG can be rapidly oxidized by Michael addition/Schiff response to generate a mussel-like adhesion layer, and the hydrophilic coating formed by way of covalent cross-linking with glutathione (GSH) incorporates a giant variety of catechol functional groups, which can be chelated and ligated with Cu NPs to structure a steady superhydrophilic phenolic community coating. The Cu@MF-PG/GSH membranes were capable to separate more than a few kinds of stable oil-in-water emulsions with surfactants, and the separation fluxes were giant (all fluxes have been >779 L/m2.h). Meanwhile, the separation efficiencies were all greater than 99% with excellent biking stability (flux recovery >97%). In addition, the self-cleaning property of Cu@MF-PG/GSH membranes was tested. The outcomes showed that the Cu@MF-PG/GSH membrane could be restored to a easy kingdom after simple water rinsing even when it was once contaminated by soybean oil with high viscosity. It suggests terrific self-cleaning performance

BackgroundCyanide is a toxic anion and may be discarded into the water environment, which is a serious threat to human beings and the environment. Hence, it is essential to explore a facile, sensitive method for cyanide detection. Polyaniline/Cu-vanadate nanobelts serve as electrode materials for sensitive cyanide determination.MethodsPolyaniline/Cu-vanadate nanobelts were obtained by a simple route using polyaniline, Cu-vanadate nanobelts. The polyaniline/Cu-vanadate nanobelts were measured via electron microscopy, diffraction, infrared spectrum, and electrochemical methods.ResultsAmorphous polyaniline nanoparticles with a particle size of about 100 nm were attached firmly to the surface of Cu-vanadate nanobelts. Electrochemical sensing properties for cyanide detection were analyzed using a cyclic voltammetry technique using the nanobelts-modified electrode. The cyclic voltammograms (CV) peaks centered at +0.64 V and +0.54 V were observed using the polyaniline/Cu-vanadate nanobelts in 0.1 M KCl solution with 2 mM cyanide. The proposed composite nanobelt-modified electrode possessed the detection range and detection limit of 0.001-2 mM and 0.22 μM, respectively.ConclusionPolyaniline greatly enhances the electro-catalytic performance of the Cu-vanadate nanobelt-modified electrode for cyanide detection.

Electroless plating is a promising method to achieve material surface metallization, low rupture work of plated coating and complex production processes have become important factors that restrict its progress. In this study, a facile method combined with primer modification (mixture of SiO 2 particle and resin) and electroless deposition to fabricate a high-adhesion Cu-plated coating is demonstrated. Results showed that poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) modified with primer could absorb Ag + through the coordination effect because hydrophilic groups (–OH and –NH 2 ) were possibly used as a bridge for chemisorbing of rare metal ions (Ag + ) through ion exchange, which acted as a catalyst for the deposition of Cu coating on its surface. More importantly, introducing SiO 2 particles in the primer can improve surface roughness, which is enhanced from 0.643 to 0.829 μm of modified coating, result in the improvement of substrate/deposited coating contact area, which would facilitate the enhancement of the adhesion behavior of plated coating. The deposition of bead-like structure Cu coating on primer-modified PET surface with a higher average roughness value possessed excellent electrical property, adhesion and crystallization. The resistivity of the copper patterns is approximately 9.81 × 10 −6 Ω·cm. It is promising to integrate this kind of metal material with excellent performance in future flexible devices.

Thermocatalytic conversion of redundant CO 2 to useful methanol is an attractive route to address both energy and environmental crises simultaneously. However, existing copper/oxide catalysts widely used in these thermocatalytic processes still suffer from low methanol yield under mild reaction conditions. In this work, we design inverse oxide/Cu catalysts to achieve superior thermal catalytic performance for CO 2 hydrogenation. The optimized ZnO/Cu-1.0 catalyst exhibits maximum CH 3 OH selectivity of 83.4% and space–time yield (STY) of \(170.9\;{\text{g}}_{{{\text{CH}}_{3} {\text{OH}}}} \;{\text{kg}}_{{{\text{cat}}}}^{ - 1} \;{\text{h}}^{ - 1}\) in CO 2 hydrogenation at 210 °C, nearly twofold higher STY than the previous optimal inverse ZnO/Cu catalysts ( \(89.6\;{\text{g}}_{{{\text{CH}}_{3} {\text{OH}}}} \;{\text{kg}}_{{{\text{cat}}}}^{ - 1} \;{\text{h}}^{ - 1}\) at 250 °C). Importantly, ZnO/Cu-1.0 catalyst displayed not only a satisfactory catalytic stability but also a superior CH 3 OH STY with a time-on-stream of 24 h. Such inverse configuration of catalysts will pave the way for new strategies to design high-performance thermocatalytic catalysts and promote their commercialization. Graphical abstract Typical inverse ZnO/Cu-1.0 catalysts have been demonstrated and achieved to significantly facilitate the activation of inert CO 2 molecules to produce methanol, due to its special physicochemical properties and strong ZnO–Cu interaction

Complex liquid–solid reactions occur during brazing. A deep understanding of brazing liquid evolution is therefore of important concern for the bonding between filler and substrates. The joining of gas-pressure-sintered silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) ceramic to oxygen-free copper (OFC) foil was prepared using Ag–Cu–TiH 2 filler at 875°C for 0.5 h. The effect of the Ag:Cu ratio on the interfacial microstructure and peeling strength of the joints was analyzed. The reaction of brazing liquid with Si 3 N 4 ceramic includes reactions with both the β-Si 3 N 4 and the grain boundary phases (Y–Si–Mg–O–N). The resulting interfacial reaction products include TiN, Ti 5 Si 3 , and potential Cu 3 Ti 3 O. Based on the phase composition and three-dimensional morphology of the interfacial reaction products in the Si 3 N 4 ceramic/OFC foil joints, a model for the evolution of the brazing liquid as the reaction proceeds was proposed. Peeling test results indicated that the peeling strength of the joints rises unilaterally with the increase of the Ag:Cu ratio in the filler until reaching the peak value of 24.3 N/mm at the maximum Ag:Cu ratio of 90:10. The mechanisms of the joint peeling fracture were discussed in detail.

Currently, it is an ongoing challenge to develop fluorescent nanosphere detectors that are uniform, non-toxic, stable and bearing a large number of functional groups on the surface for further applications in a variety of fields. Here, we have synthesized hairy nanospheres (HNs) with different particle sizes and a content range of carboxyl groups from 4 mmol/g to 9 mmol/g. Based on this, hairy fluorescent nanospheres (HFNs) were prepared by the traditional coupling method (TCM) or adsorption-induced coupling method (ACM). By comparison, it was found that high brightness HFNs are fabricated based on HNs with poly (acrylic acid) brushes on the surface via ACM. The fluorescence intensity of hairy fluorescent nanospheres could be controlled by tuning the content of 5-aminofluorescein (5-AF) or the carboxyl groups of HNs easily. The carboxyl content of the HFNs could be as high as 8 mmol/g for further applications. The obtained HFNs are used for the detection of heavy metal ions in environmental pollution. Among various other metal ions, the response to Cu (II) is more obvious. We demonstrated that HFNs can serve as a selective probe and for the separation and determination of Cu(II) ions with a linear range of 0–0.5 μM and a low detection limit of 64 nM.

P2-type Na 0.67 Ni 0.25 Mn 0.75 O 2 is considered as one of the most promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to its high initial capacity and operating voltage based on the Ni 2+ /Ni 4+ redox reaction. However, it suffers from rapid capacity decay caused by P2–O2 phase transition when the cutoff voltage is above 4.2 V (vs. Na + /Na). Herein, a high-voltage phase transition from P2 to an amorphous phase with poor crystallinity has been proved to be the main cause of material deterioration and Mn redox process is another cause. Cu-substituted Na 0.67 (Ni 0.25 Mn 0.75 ) 1−x Cu x O 2 ( x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) with active redox couples of Ni 2+ /Ni 4+ and Cu 2+ /Cu 3+ has been fabricated for solving these issues. It is proved that Cu substitution can reduce the Mn 3+ /Mn 4+ reaction below 3 V (vs. Na + /Na) and suppress the high-voltage phase transition effectively at deep de-sodiated state, resulting in the significantly enhanced cycle life and rate capability of Na 0.67 Ni 0.25 Mn 0.75 O 2 .

Cu foil is widely used in commercial lithium ion batteries as the current collector of anode materials with excellent conductivity and stability. In this research, commercial Cu foil was chosen as the current collector and substrate for the synthesis of Cu doped flake-NiO via a traditional hydrothermal method. The effect of the ratio of Cu and the calcination temperature on the electrochemical performance of NiO was investigated. The structure and phase composition of the Cu doped flake-NiO electrode were studied through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and inductive coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP). The electrochemical properties of the Cu doped flake-NiO electrode were studied through cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and a galvanostatic charge–discharge cycling technique. According to the results, the Cu-doped NiO electrode, calcined at 400 °C with a molar ratio of Cu : Ni = 1 : 8, exhibited a high reversible charge capacity. The good cycling stability and rate performance indicate that the as-prepared electrode can be applied as a potential anode for lithium ion batteries.

Structuring a stable artificial coating to mitigate dendrite growth and side reactions is an effective strategy for protecting the Zn metal anode. Herein, a Cu-Ag double-layer metal coating is constructed on the Zn anode (Zn@Cu-Ag) by simple and in-situ displacement reactions. The Cu layer enhances the bond between the Ag layer and Zn substrate by acting as an intermediary, preventing the Ag coating from detachment. Concurrently, the Ag layer serves to improve the corrosion resistance of Cu metal. During plating, the initial Cu sheets and Ag particles on the surface of Zn@Cu-Ag electrode gradually transform into a flat and smooth layer, resulting in the formation of AgZn, AgZn 3 , and (Ag, Cu)Zn 4 alloys. Alloys play a multifunctional role in inhibiting dendrite growth and side reactions due to decreased resistance, low nucleation barrier, enhanced zincophilicity, and strong corrosion resistance. Consequently, the Zn@Cu-Ag symmetric cell exhibits continuous stable performance for 3750 h at 1 mA cm −2 . Furthermore, the Zn@Cu-Ag||Zn 3 V 3 O 8 full cell achieves an initial capacity of 293.4 mAh g −1 and realizes long cycling stability over 1200 cycles. This work provides new insight into the engineering of an efficient artificial interface for highly stable and reversible Zn metal anodes.

Highly Cu-rich copper indium sulfide (CuInS 2 , CIS) quantum dots were synthesized utilizing copper chloride (CuCl) and indium acetate (In(Ac) 3 ) as metal cation precursors, combined with n-dodecanethiol (DDT) as a coordinating sulfur source and solvent. With excess of In(Ac) 3 , i.e. with Cu/In ratios of 1/4, together with Zn 2+ ions post-treatment, a relatively high photoluminescence quantum yield (QY) of ∼73% with long average lifetime of ∼359 ns has been obtained, which is proposed to be attributed to the Cu-rich defect states in the CIS nanocrystals (NCs) nuclei. Meanwhile, the formation of In-rich CIS–ZnS alloy, i.e. Zn–Cu–In–S (ZCIS) with high density of Cu vacancies, combined with the surface passivation of ZnS overlay resulted in a high QY. Finally, the formation mechanism of the ZCIS/ZnS with Cu-rich nuclei has been proposed.

The electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 towards CO is one of the most desirable routines to reduce atmospheric CO 2 concentration and maintain a global carbon balance. In this work, a novel porous NiCu-embedded ZIF-derived N-doped carbon nanoparticle (NiCu@NCNPs) catalyst has been identified as an active, highly selective, stable, and cost-effective catalyst in CO 2 reduction. A CO selectivity as high as 100% has been achieved on NiCu@NCNPs which is the highest reported to date. The particle current density of CO on NiCu@NCNPs is around 15 mA cm –2 under the optimized potential at −0.9 V vs. RHE. The NiCu@NCNPs electrode also exhibits excellent stability during the five sequential CO 2 electroreduction experiments. The superior catalytic performance of NiCu@NCNPs in CO 2 RR can be related to its microstructure with high electrochemical surface area and low electron transfer resistance. Furthermore, a kinetic analysis has shown the formation of intermediate *COOH is the rate-determining step in CO 2 RR towards CO. According to the results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, a low Gibbs-free energy change (∆ G ) for the rate-determining step leads to the enhanced catalytic performance of CO 2 RR on NiCu@NCNPs.
