An all-copper redox flow battery based on strong complexation of Cu(+) with acetonitrile is demonstrated, exhibiting reasonable battery performance. More interestingly, the battery can be charged by heat sources of 100 °C, by distilling off the acetonitrile. This destabilizes the Cu(+) complex, leading to recovery of the starting materials.

A highly active and stable Cu-based catalyst for CO to CO conversion was demonstrated by creating a strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) between Cu active sites and the TiO-coated dendritic fibrous nano-silica (DFNS/TiO) support. The DFNS/TiO-Cu10 catalyst showed excellent catalytic performance with a CO productivity of 5350 mmol g h (i.e.

The first redox flow battery (RFB), based on the all-copper liquid metal salt [Cu(MeCN)4][Tf2N], is presented. Liquid metal salts (LMS) are a new type of ionic liquid that functions both as solvent and electrolyte. Non-aqueous electrolytes have advantages over water-based solutions, such as a larger electrochemical window and large thermal stability.

As it is the case in all animal food production systems, it is often necessary to treat farmed fish for diseases and parasites. Quite frequently, fish farmers still rely on the aggressive use of copper to control bacterial infections and infestations by ecto-parasites, and to manage the spread of diseases. The susceptibility of the neotropical fish Rhamdia quelen to copper was here evaluated at different waterborne copper concentrations (2, 7 or 11 μg Cu L(-1)) for 96 h, through a multi biomarkers approach.

In the current study, the toxicity mechanism of nanosized CuO (nCuO) to the freshwater ciliated protozoa Tetrahymena thermophila was studied. Changes in fatty acid profile, lipid peroxidation metabolites and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured. Bulk CuO and CuSO(4) served as controls for size and solubility and 3,5-dichorophenol (3,5-DCP) as a control for a chemical known to directly affect the membrane composition.
