A quasi-operando NH3 temperature-programmed reduction method (NH3-TPR), with N2:Cu = 1:1, is developed to quantify total Cu(ii) ions in Cu-SSZ-13 quenched from SCR-relevant reactions, and its accuracy is confirmed by in situ EPR. [Cu(OH)]+-Z and Cu2+-2Z can be further distinguished by NH3 reduction temperatures, and their different reducibility in SCR is revealed.

This study focuses on the synthesis of a novel Cerium-Magnesium (CeO-MgO) binary oxide nanomaterials by a simple co-precipitation process and used to remove harmful pollutants such as Cr(VI), Cu(II), and F. The morphology, phase, crystallite size, thermal stability, functional groups, surface area, and porosity of the synthesized nanomaterial were determined by using XRD, SEM, FTIR, TGA/DTA, and BET studies. The prepared nanomaterials showed adsorption selectivity of Cu(II) ≈ F> Cr(VI) with a high adsorption capacity of 84.

Imaging abnormal copper/iron with effective fluorescent tools is essential to comprehensively put insight into many pathological events. However, conventional coordination-based detection is mired in the fluorescence quenching induced by paramagnetic Cu(II)/Fe(III). Moreover, the strong chelating property of the probe will consume dissociative metal ions and inevitably interfere with the physiological microenvironment.

Background: Ecotoxicology is essential for the evaluation and comprehension of the effects of emergency pollutants (EP) such as heavy metal ions on the natural environment. EPs pose a substantial threat to the health of humans and the proper functioning of the global ecosystem. The primary concern is the exposure of humans and animals to heavy metal ions through contaminated water.

Some specific anthraquinone derivatives (AQs) are known to be used widely as effective chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of cancer. However, their fundamental shortcoming is the high rate of cardiotoxicity observed in treated patients, which is thought to be caused by the increase in production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) catalyzed by iron and copper. The development of improved AQs and other anticancer drugs with enhanced efficacy but reduced toxicity remains a high priority.

Cataracts are diseases characterized by the opacity of the ocular lens and the subsequent deterioration of vision. Metal ions are one of the factors that have been reported to induce crystallin aggregation. For HγS crystallin, several equivalent ratios of Cu(II) promote protein aggregation.
