Globally, heavy metal (HM) soil pollution is becoming an increasingly serious concern. Heavy metals in soils pose significant environmental and health risks due to their persistence, toxicity, and potential for bioaccumulation. These metals often originate from anthropogenic activities such as industrial emissions, agricultural practices, and improper waste disposal.

Fundamental Insights into Copper-Epoxy Interfaces for High-Frequency Chip-to-Chip Interconnects.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

December 2024

Gordon A. and Mary Cain Department of Chemical Engineering, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70803, United States.

Future processes and materials are needed to enable multichip packages with chip-to-chip (C2C) data rates of 50 GB/s or higher. This presents a fundamental challenge because of the skin effect, which exacerbates signal transmission losses at high frequencies. Our results indicate that smooth copper interconnects with relatively thin cuprous oxides (CuO, Cu) and amine-functional silane adhesion promoters improve interfacial adhesion with epoxy dielectrics by nearly an order of magnitude.

Copper-Catalyzed Domino Phosphorylation/Cyclization of -Alkynylketones for Accessing Phosphorylated 1-Isochromenes.

J Org Chem

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Applied Organic Chemistry, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Lanzhou University, 222 South Tianshui Road, Lanzhou 730000, P. R. China.

An effective and economical copper-catalyzed approach for the synthesis of phosphorylated 1-isochromenes is reported. This method is the first example of focus on ketone phosphonylation to establish a C-P bond and 6-- cyclization to construct a C-O bond between aryl- and alkyl-substituted alkynylketones and H-phosphinate esters, H-phosphites, and H-phosphine oxides, resulting in chemo- and regioselective phosphorylated 1-isochromenes with moderate to excellent yields under smooth reaction conditions.

Thin-film membranes of Pd-Ag and Pd-Cu alloys capable of releasing hydrogen in a wide temperature range have been developed. The surface activation of the membranes with a nanostructured coating made it possible to intensify hydrogen transport through Pd-containing membranes at low temperatures. This effect was achieved by accelerating limiting surface processes by increasing the active area of the membrane.

Selectively Self-Aligned Sol-Gel Copper Oxide for Large-Area Multi-Valued Logic Devices.

Small

December 2024

Department of Intelligence Semiconductor and Engineering, Ajou University, Suwon, Republic of Korea.

Rapid expansion of digital information density has led to a growing demand for multi-valued logic (MVL) systems, which aim to minimize energy and time consumption for computations. Heterojunction transistors represent a class of device architectures for MVL circuits; however, partially layered structures can be realized only for vacuum-deposited organic and transferred 2D materials due to the constraints of patterning processes. In this study, a novel CuO/IGZO heterojunction-based ternary inverter is presented via a sol-gel technique and direct patterning process using a self-assembled monolayer (SAM).
