The ability of bacteria to facilitate fabrication of nanomaterials has been adapted towards bacterial sensing applications. In this work, we fabricate spherical, cubic and truncated octahedron topologies of CuO nanoparticles -facilitated redox reaction in an electrochemical setup. The CuO nanoparticles exhibit cytochrome c oxidase-like activity with the spherical topology displaying higher catalytic rate compared to the other geometries. The topology-dependent catalytic behavior of CuO nanoparticles has not been reported previously. The CuO nanozymes also display killing activity in a topology-correlated manner. The mediated redox reaction in an electrochemical setup is being reported for the first time for synthesis of different topologies of CuO which also exert a variable antibacterial effect.

The electrical control of the non-trivial topology in Weyl antiferromagnets is of great interest for the development of next-generation spintronic devices. Recent studies suggest that the spin Hall effect can switch the topological antiferromagnetic order. However, the switching efficiency remains relatively low.

Coordination polymers (CPs) have been widely proven as sacrificial electrode materials for energy storage applications because of their high porosity, specific surface area and tunable structural topology. In this work, a new 2D Cu(II)-based CP, formulated as [Cu(btc)(μ-Cl)(HO)] (CP-1) (Hbtc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid), fabrication of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) and its composite (CuO@CP-1) were successfully synthesized using solvothermal, precipitation and mechanochemical grinding approaches. Single-crystal X-ray analysis authenticated a two-dimensional (2D) layered network of CP-1.

The catalyst preparation route is well known to affect the copper loading and its electronic state, which influence the properties of the resulting catalyst. Electronic states of copper ions in copper-containing silicalites with the MFI-framework topology obtained by a solid-state transformation S (SST) were studied with using EPR, UV-Vis DR, XRD, H-TPR and chemical differentiating dissolution. They were compared with Cu-ZSM-5 and Cu-MFI (silicalite) prepared via the ion-exchange and incipient wetness impregnation.

The synthesis of copper oxide (CuO)-based nanomaterials has received a tremendous deal of interest in recent years. Particularly, the design and development of novel CuO structures with improved physical and chemical properties have attracted immense attention, especially for catalysis applications. We report on a rational, rapid, and surfactant-free microwave synthesis (MWS) of hierarchical porous copper oxide (HP-CuO) with a three-dimensional (3D) sponge-like topology using an MWS reactor.

This unprecedented anisotropy in a magnetization plateau is the consequence of three effects, namely, the orthogonal arrangements of the corner-sharing CuO square planes, the nearest-neighbour antiferromagnetic exchange, and the anisotropic -factor of the Cu ions at square-planar coordination sites. By analyzing the topology of magnetic bonding, we found why magnetic plateaus are observed only for certain ferrimagnets and antiferromagnets.
