Article Abstract
Constructing a porous conductive framework represents a promising strategy for designing high-performance anodes for Li-ion batteries. Here, porous CuO nanotubes/graphene with hierarchical architectures were fabricated by simple annealing of copper nanowires/graphene hybrids synthesized by a microwave-assisted process. In these nanoarchitectures, the embedded porous CuO nanotubes can prevent restacking of the graphene sheets, whereas graphene can increase the electrical conductivity of CuO. Moreover, these two components constitute a sandwich-like interlaced framework that favors ion diffusion, as well as promoting better electron transport. As a result, the as-prepared nanohybrid exhibits a high specific capacity of 725 mA h g and a capacity retention of ∼81% after 250 cycles, as well as outstanding rate performance in comparison to those of bare CuO or a CuO-CNT (carbon nanotubes) hybrid.

With the exhaustion of fossil fuels, prior phase change materials are characterized by such drawbacks as poor thermal conductivity, weak shape stability, and high costs. Therefore, the preparation of phase change materials with brilliant thermal-insulating properties, high thermal conductivity, and leakage-free properties has emerged as a crucial research focus. Herein, a sericultural mulberry branch-derived (SMB) composite phase change material was prepared by deep eutectic solvent pretreated SMB and vacuum-assisted impregnated paraffin wax with cupric oxide (CuO).

The water electrolysis process, involving multiple electron transfer steps, is inherently hindered by sluggish reaction kinetics and inefficient mass transport, highlighting the need for advanced electrocatalysts with enhanced activity and durability. In this study, a rapid epitaxial solution combustion method combined with a displacement reaction on iron foam (IF) enabled the fabrication of pine-leaf-shaped dendritic electrodes (PLS-TMOs/CuO/Cu/IF) featuring a hierarchical porous surface. The arrangement of the pine-leaf-shaped dendrites, with their high hydrophilicity, reduces bubble aggregation and facilitates efficient gas release and transport through directional channels.

A unique all-in-one synthesis is presented for membrane-immobilized transition metal oxides, integrating into a single process: metallic nanoparticle synthesis within a polymer dope solution, porous support membrane formation via film casting and polymer precipitation, and aqueous room-temperature oxidation using atmospheric oxygen. This approach achieves near-perfect metal utilization and enables synthesis of different metal oxides under identical conditions. As-prepared CrO, MnO, FeOOH, CoOOH, Ni(OH), CuO, and ZnO are benchmarked in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for water treatment at neutral pH and with NaCl and NaHCO.

The electrochemical reduction of nitrate to value-added ammonia offers a promising approach for removing nitrate pollutants from wastewater, combining energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability. However, developing industrially viable catalysts that combine high efficiency, low-cost, and high durability remains a significant challenge. Herein, cobalt oxide (CoO) nanoparticles are anchored onto the copper oxide (CuO) nanosheets support (CoO@CuO) to boost the electroreduction of nitrate to ammonia via a strong oxide-oxide interaction.
