Synergistic atom co-sharing and S-scheme heterojunction: constructing Cu/CuO/CuO with ultrathin graphene-like carbon derived from basil seeds for enhanced photo-oxidation of benzyl alcohols to aldehydes.

This study is centered on the oxidative transformation of alcohols into their respective aldehyde compounds, employing an S-scheme heterostructure featuring CuO/CuO on graphene-like carbon (GLC) derived from a basil seed hydrogel. Experimental characterization and theoretical calculations highlight that the implementation of S-scheme heterostructures achieves not only enhanced charge-separation efficiency, facilitated by the interfacial built-in electric field, Cu co-sharing at the CuO/CuO interface, and electron carrier activity of the GLC support, but also maintains a strong driving force for photocatalytic organic conversion. The resulting nanocomposites play a crucial role in transferring and reducing the recombination of photoexcited charge carriers, preserving the oxidizability of CuO holes and the reducibility of CuO electrons.

The efficiency of the prepared catalysts was studied for the methyl orange (MO) removal from aqueous solution.

Polythiophene-functionalized magnetic carbon nanotube-supported copper(I) complex: a novel and retrievable heterogeneous catalyst for the "Phosphine- and Palladium-Free" Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction.

A simple preparation of catalysts with high catalytic activity and superior cycling stability is very desirable. In this contribution, magnetic carbon nanotube functionalized by polythiophene (CNT-FeO-PTh) acts as an efficient and retrievable host for copper nanoparticles to prepare CNT-FeO-PTh-Cu(I) as a nontoxic and inexpensive catalyst. FT-IR, TGA, EDX, VSM, XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, and AAS techniques were employed to characterize the structure of the synthesized magnetic heterogeneous nanocomposite.
