Superoxide anion (O) is typically produced in living cells and organisms, while excess O may cause unexpected damage, so monitoring and scavenging the O is of considerable significance to exploring physiological and pathological process. In this study, a Cu-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) which comprise sequential Cu metal ion and conductive organic 2,5-dicarboxylic acid-3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene is synthesized to mimic superoxide dismutase (SOD), in which Cu is the essence of active site. On one hand, the Cu-MOF possesses excellent electrocatalytic activity to detect O at -0.05 V, biased at which potential the electrode showed good linearity toward O with detection limit of 0.283 μM and interference immunity for AA, DA, UA, 5-HT and HO. The Cu-MOF modified microelectrode was applied for measuring the O released from living cells real time and monitoring O generation in rat brain. On the other hand, this Cu-MOF has the catalytic activity to mimic the superoxide dismutase for scavenging O in HeLa cells effectively. This work provides a methodology to design metal ion based enzyme mimetic for analyzing and scavenging O in cells and in vivo.

Electrochemical CO reduction reaction (ECORR) is considered a highly promising method to produce high-value chemicals and fuels, contributing significantly the artificial carbon balance. Plenty catalysts can facilitate the conversion of CO into mono-carbon (C1) products. Among these catalysts, Cu species exhibit a distinct role in the formation of multi-carbon (C2+) products characterized by enhanced energy density.

A facile, green, and economical method for the scalable synthesis of hydrophilic copper-triazole metal-organic frameworks (Cu-trz) is demonstrated. Numerous open metal sites within the highly crystalline porous structure of Cu-trz are generated through mild thermal activation, enabling its application in liquid-phase ethanol dehydration under ambient conditions. The frameworks with distinct crystallinity and particle sizes were achieved by modifying the synthesis process.

Despite considerable advancements in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), the overall survival rate for patients with advanced CRC remains below 50%, primarily due to challenges posed by drug resistance and metastasis. Here, a novel "Three-in-One" Cu-based metal-organic framework nanozyme with peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity has been successfully developed, aiming to promote CRC cell death by dual targeting of oxidative stress and copper ion homeostasis, which could promote CRC cell death via apoptosis and cuproptosis, and facilitate hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) degradation, leading to the reversal of chemoresistance in tumor therapy. These nanozymes, composed of copper and 2-propylimidazole (Cu-PrIm), feature a distorted Cu-N4 catalytic active center that mimics natural enzyme structures consisting of copper and histidine residues, endowing them with enzyme-like activities.
