SEM analysis ordered anatase titania nanotube method was used to characterize arrays （TINT） were fabricated by anodic the morphology of the prepared samples. TiNT samples doped with Cu ions were prepared by home-made Metal Vapor Vacuum Arc ions sources （MEVVA, BNU, China） implanter. Photo-electric response and methyl orange decomposition ability of implanted samples under UV and visible light were tested, and the results indicated that the performance of Cu/TiNT enhanced significantly under visible light; it was noteworthy that the photocurrent density of A-Cu/TiNT was 0.102 mA/cm^2, which was 115 times that of pure TINT, and degradation ability of TiNT also strongly enhanced under visible light. In a word, the absorption spectrum of implanted anatase titania shifted to a longer wavelength region. Theoretic study on Cu-doped anatase based on density functional theory was carried out in this paper to validate the experiment results. The calculation results are depicted as follows： Intermittent energy band appeared around the Fermi energy after doping with Cu metal, the width of which was 0.35 eV and the location of valence and conduction bands shifted to the lower energy level by 0.22 eV; more excitation and jump routes were opened for the electrons. The narrowed band gaps allowed the photons with lower energy （at longer wavelength, such as visible light） to be absorbed, which accorded well with the experimental results.展开更多

Its electrical field emission behavior can be turned on at Eo = 2.6 V/μm, attaining a current density of 19.5μA/cm2 at an applied field of 3.5 V/#m. Field emission scanning electron microscopy combined with Raman and x-ray photoelectron mi- croscopy reveal that the formation of Cu nanoparticles in MCD films can catalytically convert the less conducting disorder/a-C phases into graphitic phases and can provoke the formation of nanographite in the films, forming conduction channels for electron transportation.展开更多

The Cu-implanted stainless steel was treated by a special antibacterial treatment subsequently. The phase compositions in the implanted layer were studied by glancing X-ray diffraction ( GXRD) and changes of bacterial appearance on the surface of Cu un-implanted SS and Cu-implanted SS with antibacterial treatment SS were observed by bio-TEM (transmission electron microscopy) separately. The results showed that a suitable amount of Cu-rich phase was dispersed in the implanted layer of Cu-implanted SS that was treated by special antibacterial treatment. So the Cu-implanted martensitic stainless steel with antibacterial treatment reveals excellent antibacterial property against both E. coli and S. aureus.展开更多

The adsorption behavior of Cu（II） ions on NH2-MNP was discussed systematically by batch experiments. The effects of initial Cu（II） ions concentration, time, pH and temperature were investigated. In kinetic studies, the pseudo-second-order model was successfully employed, and the pseudo-first-order model substantiated that Cu（II） adsorption on NH2-MNP was a diffusion-based process. Langmuir model and Dubinin-Radushkevich model （R2〉0.99） were more corresponded with the adsorption isotherm data of Cu（II） ions than Freundlich model. The adsorption capacity was increased with the increment of temperature and pH. NH2-MNP remains excellent Cu（II） recoveries after reusing five adsorption and desorption cycles, making NH2-MNP a promising candidate for repetitively removing heavy metal ions from environmental water samples. According to the results obtained from adsorption activation energy and thermodynamic studies, it can be inferred that the main adsorption mechanism between absorbent and Cu（II） ions is ion exchange-surface complexation.展开更多

In this study, an advanced ion implantation method was utilized to dope Cu ions into ZnO nanorod arrays for photoelectrochemical water splitting in visible light. X-ray diffraction （XRD） and X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy （XPS） results revealed that Cu^＋ together with a small amount of Cu^2＋ were highly dispersed within the ZnO nanorod arrays. The Cu ion doped ZnO nanorod arrays displayed extended optical absorption and enhanced photoelectrochemical performance under visible light illumination （A 〉 420 nm）. A considerable photocurrent density of 18 μA/cm^2 at 0.8 V （vs. a saturated calomel electrode） was achieved, which was about 11 times higher than that of undoped ZnO nanorod arrays. This study proposes that ion implantation could be an effective approach for developing novel visible-light-driven photocatalytic materials for water splitting.展开更多

The amount of variable negative charge was much less in variable-charge soil than in permanent-charge soil and increased with the pH in the system, but the opposite trend occurred in the points of zero charge (PZCs). The amount of Cu2+ ions sorbed by permanent-charge soil was more than that by variable-charge soil and increased with the increase of Cu2+ concentration within a certain range in the equilibrium solution. The amount of Cu2+ ions desorbed with KC1 from permanent-charge soil was more than that from variable-charge soil, but the amount of Cu2+ ions desorbed with de-ionized water from permanent-charge soil was extremely low whereas there was still a certain amount of desorption from variable-charge soil. The increase of PZC of soils with variable or permanent charge varied with the increment of Cu2+ ions added. When the same amount of Cu2+ ions was added, the increments of PZC and variable negative surface charge of permanent-charge soil were different from those of variable-charge soil.展开更多
