Article Abstract
Membrane fouling, including organic, inorganic, and biological fouling, poses enormous challenges in membrane water treatment. Incorporation of copper-based nanomaterials in polymeric membranes is highly favored due to their exceptional antibacterial properties and capacity to improve membrane hydrophilicity. This review extensively explores the utilization of copper-based nanomaterials in membrane technology for water treatment, with a specific focus on enhancing anti-fouling performance. It elaborates on how copper-based nanomaterials improve the surface properties of membrane materials (such as porosity, hydrophilicity, surface charge, etc.) through physical and chemical processes. It summarizes the properties and potential antibacterial mechanisms of copper-based nanomaterials, primarily by disrupting microbial cell structures through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, recent efforts to enhance the environmental sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and recyclability of copper-based nanomaterials are outlined. The attempts to offer insights for the advancement of anti-fouling practices in water treatment through the use of copper-modified polymer membranes.

A novel proposal is introduced with an unlabeled electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of tumor broad-spectrum biomarker vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) Copper-based metal organic frameworks (Cu MOFs)-carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were employed as its substrates, functionalized with methylene blue (MB) for signal enhancement. Cu-MOFs-MWCNTs nanocomposites were synthesized successfully via a solvothermal method and were then deposited on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), with the addition of methylene blue to amplify the signal. Due to the expansive specific surface area provided by the carbon nanotubes and the amino groups facilitated by the metal-organic framework nanomaterials, the anti-VEGF165 monoclonal antibody was immobilized on the electrochemical immunosensor through covalent bonding, which could bind specifically to VEGF165, thereby causing a detectable change in the current.

Introduction: Lung injury, a common complication of sepsis, arises from elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell death driven by inflammation. In this study, a novel class of ultrasmall nanoparticles (CuO USNPs) was developed to address sepsis-induced lung injury (SILI).
Methods: The synthesized nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized to assess their properties.

Although nanozyme has shown great potential in designing fluorescent assays for pesticide residue, most of them are based on single emission, thus affecting the detection accuracy. Herein, a copper-based fluorescent nanozyme (Cu-BH) synthesized with dual-ligand, integrating fluorescence and oxidase-mimic into one spherical nanomaterial, was used firstly to establish a ratiometric approach for visual detection of thiophanate methyl (TM). Cu-BH possesses excellent oxidase-like activities, triggering the oxidation of colorless o-phenylenediamine (OPD) into yellow luminescent products (oxOPD, λem = 564 nm).

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-reinforced copper-based composites (CNT/Cu) have been extensively investigated due to their exceptional theoretical electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. However, the actual performance of these composites has consistently fallen short of theoretical expectations. This discrepancy primarily arises from the inability to achieve direct chemical bonding between copper and carbon nanotubes or to alloy them effectively.
