Biochar derived from Lentinus edodes (LBC) and CuFeO (CuFeO@LBC) composites were prepared by the hydrothermal method, and were applied to activate persulfate (PDS) for degrading tetracycline (TC) in a wide pH range. The CuFeO@LBC composites were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, and XPS. LBC-derived biochars greatly reduced the aggregation of CuFeO particles and enhanced the catalytic performance of CuFeO. CuFeO@LBC catalyst could remove 85% of tetracycline within 100 min under visible light. In addition, the removal rate of TC reached 76% after five cycles, indicating that the composite had good stability and reusability. Simple classical quenching experiments suggested that the degradation of TC could be mainly attributed to •OH and •S [Formula: see text].

Nano bimetallic oxides as nanoproteases have the great advantages in the heterogeneous hydrolysis of proteins. Here, we report that bimetallic delafossite CuFeO submicron particles (CuFeO SMPs) display a high protease activity towards selective cleavage of peptide bond involving hydrophobic residue at 25 °C. CuFeO SMPs have excellent regeneration performance with high structural stability.

The effect of H activation on the performance of CuFeO catalyst for low-temperature CO oxidation was investigated. The characterizations of XRD, XPS, H-TPR, O-TPD, and in situ DRIFTS were employed to establish the relationship between physicochemical property and catalytic activity. The results showed that the CuFeO catalyst activated with H at 100 °C displayed higher performance, which achieved 99.

Converting biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into high-valued 2,5-dihydroxymethylfurfural (DHMF) via electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) technology has been widely regarded as one of the most economical and eco-friendly routes. The high selectivity and activity depend on the reasonable regulation of the adsorption and activation of adsorbed hydrogen (H*) and HMF on the surface of the electrocatalyst. Herein, we report nanoflower-like CuFe-based electrocatalysts on copper foam (CF) substrates (CuFeO/CF).
