The mineralising effect of CuO on microstructure and phase composition of SO -doped clinker was studied by a combination of phase analysis, light and scanning electron microscopy and QXRD. Results show proportionally higher C AF content in clinker interstitial matter due to CuO doping. CuO also lowers the SO incorporation in main clinker phases C S and C S. Observation in back-scattered electrons revealed that Cu crystallises mainly as a Cu-rich phase in the clinker interstitial matter and inclusions in crystals of C S with distorted structure. CuO partially inhibits the incorporation of Fe O in C S.

Despite the potential of nanoenergetics as promising energy sources with high energy densities and fast energy release, our limited ability to predict combustion speeds restricts the utilization of nanoenergetics. Here, we provide a comprehensive analysis of thermal microstructures subject to heterogeneous reactions and propose a new scaling for combustion wave speeds. To control reaction heterogeneity, two different particle interfacial morphologies of physically mixed and core-shell Al/CuO nanoparticles were synthesized.

We report the synthesis and characterization of pure CuO and CuO-ZnO nanostructured composite thin films sprayed on particle-free glass substrates using chemical spray pyrolysis method. The films were systematically analyzed through microstructural, morphological, chemical, and gas-sensing studies. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies confirmed the polycrystalline nature of the films, with a predominant monoclinic phase along the (002) direction.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is emerged as a novel and promising tumor therapy by using the powerful reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill cancer cells. However, the current CDT is remarkably inhibited due to insufficient HO supply and over-expression of glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a biodegradable self-supplying HO nano-enzyme of CuO@CaP with a GSH-consumption effect is designed for cascade enhanced CDT to overcome the problem of HO deficiency and GSH overexpression.

This study is the first one that investigates in detail the bacterial intercellular response to the high density of crystallographic defects including vacancies created in Cu by high pressure torsion. To this aim, samples were deformed by high pressure torsion and afterward, their antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus were analyzed in adhesion tests. As a reference an annealed sample was applied.

Efficient energy transfer management in catalytic processes is crucial for overcoming activation energy barriers while minimizing costs and CO emissions. We exploit here a concept of CuO particle design with multiple gas-stabilizing sites, engineered to function as cavitation nuclei and catalysts. This concept facilitates the selective and efficient acoustic energy transfer directly to the catalyst surface, avoiding the undesired dissipation of acoustic energy into the bulk solution while demonstrating superior cavitation properties at lower acoustic pressure amplitudes.
