Elastic strain in Cu catalysts enhances their selectivity for the electrochemical CO reduction reaction (eCORR), particularly toward the formation of multicarbon (C) products. However, the reasons for this selectivity and the effect of catalyst precursors have not yet been clarified. Hence, we employed a redox strategy to induce strain on the surface of Cu nanocrystals.

Designing highly active material to fabricate a high-performance noninvasive wearable glucose sensor was of great importance for diabetes monitoring. In this work, we developed CuO nanoflakes (NFs)/Cu nanoparticles (NPs) nanocomposites to serve as the sensing materials for noninvasive sweat-based wearable glucose sensors. We involve CuCl to enhance the oxidation of Cu NPs to generate CuO/CuO NFs on the surface.
