Copper(I) oxide nanocubes were wrapped with an extremely uniform organic layer grown by self-controlled, Cu-mediated catalysis. This layer aided in retaining the initial cubic structure of the copper nanocubes during their use as a CO reduction electrocatalyst, resulting in high CO reduction selectivity by strong suppression of hydrogen evolution because of exclusion of water from the surface.

Cuprous oxide (CuO) exhibit significant potential for catalytic activity in the electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CORR). However, the rapid reduction of Copper(I) (Cu) to metallic Copper (Cu) leads to catalyst deactivation, significantly impacting product selectivity and stability. This study aims to stabilize the Cu valence state at a metal-CuO heterogeneous interface through interfacial engineering, ultimately enhancing the electrochemical CO reduction performance of CuO.

In this study, we investigate the origins of low-frequency noise (LFN) and 1/ noise in CuO thin-film transistors (TFTs). The static direct current (DC) - characterization demonstrates that the channel resistance () contributes significantly to mobility degradation in the TFTs, with channel thickness () controlled through the plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) process. The 1/ noise followed the Hooge mobility fluctuation (HMF) model, and it was observed that both Coulomb and phonon scattering within the channel, which increased with a decrease in , contributed simultaneously.

Pyridine-2-yl-sulfonyl-quinolin-8-yl-amide (psq) has produced the first sulfonamidato-bridged dicopper(I) complex, {Cu[κ-(μ-κ:κ-psq)]} containing the rhombic Cu(I)N core. The single crystal X-ray structure of this complex shows that two anionic psq ligands straddle the metal atoms via bridging sulfonamide N atoms to give a Cu···Cu distance of 2.9593(8) Å.

α-substituted ketones are important chemical targets as synthetic intermediates as well as functionalities in natural products and pharmaceuticals. We report the α-acetylation of C(sp)-H substrates R-H with arylmethyl ketones ArC(O)Me to provide α-alkylated ketones ArC(O)CHR at RT with BuOOBu as oxidant via copper(I) -diketiminato catalysts. Proceeding via alkyl radicals R•, this method enables α-substitution with bulky substituents without competing elimination that occurs in more traditional alkylation reactions between enolates and alkyl electrophiles.

The femtosecond laser direct writing of metals has gained significant attention for micro/nanostructuring. Copper (I) oxide nanospheres (NSs), a promising material for multi-photon metallization, can be reduced to copper (Cu) and sintered through near-infrared femtosecond laser pulse irradiation. In this study, we investigated the size effect of copper (I) oxide nanospheres on their morphology when coated on Cu thin films and irradiated by near-infrared femtosecond laser pulses.
