In this Letter, for the first time, we demonstrated the preparation of a highly efficient electrocatalyst, spinel CuCo2O4 nanoparticles supported on N-doped reduced graphene oxide (CuCo2O4/N-rGO), for an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) under alkaline media. The hybrid exhibits higher ORR catalytic activity than CuCo2O4 or N-rGO alone, the physical mixture of CuCo2O4 nanoparticles and N-rGO, and Co3O4/N-rGO. Moreover, such a hybrid affords superior durability to the commercial Pt/C catalyst.

This study investigates the development of novel nanocomposite films based on a blend of polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) loaded with varying weight percentages of copper cobaltite nanoparticles (CuCoO NPs). The primary objective was to fabricate these nanocomposites using a solution casting technique and explore the influence of CuCoO content on their structural, optical, electrical, and dielectric properties. Spinel-type CuCoO NPs were synthesized via the hydrothermal method and incorporated into the PEO/PVA blend.

As a central neurotransmitter, DA (dopamine) plays a vital part in human metabolism, and its accurate detection is of great significance in disease diagnosis. In this work, we used Cu/Co bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as templates and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to construct novel nanocomposite coral-like CuCoO@AuNPs with strong peroxidase activity and electrochemical response. The coral-like CuCoO@AuNPs showed excellent peroxidase activity, and the K value was as low as 0.

The evolution of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission amplified by coreaction accelerator in near-infrared (NIR) area has been overwhelmingly anticipated for ultrasensitive detection of disease biomarkers. Herein, the hollow double-shell CuCoO@CuO (HDS-CuCoO@CuO) heterostructures were conveniently prepared and utilized as an attractive coreaction accelerator to improve the NIR ECL performance of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) for the first time. Benefiting from perfect-matched lattice spacing, unique CuO nanoparticles (NPs) were formed in situ on the layered-hollow CuCoO nanospheres (NSs) to obtain HDS-CuCoO@CuO heterostructures.

Exploring effective electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a crucial requirement of many energy storage and transformation systems, involving fuel cells, water electrolysis, and metal-air batteries. Transition-metal oxides (TMOs) have attracted much attention to OER catalysts because of their earth abundance, tunable electronic properties, and so forth. Defect engineering is a general and the most important strategy to tune the electronic structure and control size, and thus improve their intrinsic activities.
