The electrocatalytic activity of a CuO flower-like nanostructured electrode was investigated in terms of its application to enzyme-less amperometric H(2)O(2) sensors. The CuO nanoflowers film was directly formed by chemical oxidation of copper foil under hydrothermal condition and then used as active electrode material of non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors for H(2)O(2) detection under alkaline conditions. The sensitivity of the sensor with CuO nanoflowers electrode was 88.4 microA/mM cm(2) with a linear response in the range from 4.25 x 10(-5) to 4 x 10(-2)M and a detection limit of 0.167 microM (S/N=3). Excellent electrocatalytic activity, large surface-to-volume ratio and efficient electron transport property of CuO nanoflowers electrode have enabled stable and highly sensitive performance for the non-enzymatic H(2)O(2) sensor.

Copper-based nanomaterials are effective alternatives to traditional pesticides due to their antibacterial properties. However, the high cost and low dispersity limit their application. In this study, we synthesized cost-effective, eco-friendly, and stable chitosan-copper hybrid nanoflowers (CS-Cu HNFs) through facile self-assembly to manage agricultural diseases caused by the fungal pathogen ().

Electrocatalytic reduction of CO into multicarbon (C) products offers a promising pathway for CO utilization. However, achieving high selectivity towards multicarbon alcohols, such as ethanol, remains a challenge. In this work, we present a novel CuO nanoflower catalyst with engineered tip curvature, achieving remarkable selectivity and efficiency in the electroreduction of CO to ethanol.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new type of nanoflower-like structure made from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) combined with binary transition metals (Ni-Mn) using a straightforward synthesis method.
- The unique structure features porous channels that enhance electrolyte penetration and improve the transportation of electrons and ions, leading to better electrochemical performance.
- The final product, a hybrid electrode material, achieves a high specific capacity of 1249.99 C g and maintains around 91.74% of its capacity after 5000 cycles, contributing to an asymmetric supercapacitor with significant energy density and durability.

Harnessing solar energy for large-scale hydrogen fuel (H) production shows promise in addressing the energy crisis and ecological degradation. This study focuses on the development of GaN-based photoelectrodes for efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, enabling environmentally friendly H production. Herein, a novel nanoflower Au/CuO/GaN hybrid structure was successfully synthesized using a combination of methods including successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR), RF/DC sputtering, and metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) techniques.

Effective catalytic performance of the transition metal oxide is attributed to high specific surface areas, abundant surface oxygen atoms, and balanced valence ratios. Although the chirality of the transition metal has attracted attention, most studies have focused on optical application. A few chiral transition metal oxides were used as electrocatalysts and photocatalysts.
