Herein, we present a simple and mild method to prepare CuO nanostructures for non-enzymatic glucose sensing. A Cu-metal organic framework (Cu-MOF) precursor was first directly grown on a pencil lead electrode with 3D graphene-like surfaces (EPLE) and then transformed into CuO nanorods. The CuO nanorod-modified EPLE (CuO/EPLE) shows high sensitivity (1138.32 μA mM cm), fast response time (1.5 s) and low detection limit (0.11 μM) for glucose oxidation. It has been found that NaOH promoted the generation of ˙OH groups and Cu(III) on the CuO surface, which then facilitated the electrochemical oxidation of glucose. Signals characteristic of hydroxyl and carbon-centered radical adducts were detected by EPR. Furthermore, the CuO/EPLE sensor also shows good accuracy in glucose determination in human serum samples.

This study involves a novel CuO/CoFe₂O₄/MWCNTs (CCT) nanocomposite, developed by integrating cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄) and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), for the degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light. The photocatalyst was extensively characterized using XRD, HR-SEM, EDX, HR-TEM, UV-Vis, BET, and PL analysis. The synthesized CoFe₂O₄ and CuO nanoparticles exhibited crystallite sizes of 46.

Article Synopsis
- Active packaging technologies are advancing to improve the preservation of fresh produce by preventing microbial contamination and managing internal packaging atmospheres.
- This study presents MT film, a novel active fruit packaging made by enhancing a bionanocomposite film with CuO-doped titania nanotubes, which shows excellent mechanical strength and water resistance.
- The MT film effectively inhibits microbial growth and regulates gas exchange, demonstrating significant reductions in bacterial and mold counts on blueberries, suggesting it could enhance food quality and extend shelf life while minimizing losses in the supply chain.

High-entropy perovskite oxides exhibit promising application prospects in the field of electrocatalysis, owing to their flexible elemental composition, plentiful active sites, and superior structural stability. Herein, high-entropy perovskite oxide nanotubes are prepared with La, Nd, Pr, Er, Eu at A-site by electrospinning as efficient electrocatalysts for nitrate reduction reaction (NORR). Electrochemical tests demonstrate that LaNdPrErEuCuO nanotubes (LNPEEC NTs) display outstanding NORR performance, achieving a NH Faraday efficiency (FE) of 100% at -0.

The cleavage of the benzene-oxygen (C-O(C)) bond of the lignin β-O-4 linkage is expected to relieve condensation of the degradation product and improve the product value. Nevertheless, the electrochemical breaking of the C-O(C) bond has not been achieved yet due to the high dissociation energy (∼409 kJ mol) and the easy over-reduction of aromatic compounds. Here, we report an aqueous electrochemical reduction strategy for breaking C-O(C) bonds via the regulation of molecular adsorption.
