General description

Copper is a versatile metal crucial in catalysis and material science. Its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, ductility, and corrosion resistance make it ideal for conductive materials. Additionally, copper serves as a catalyst in various chemical reactions, facilitating electron transfer and promoting redox processes, including reduction, cross-coupling, and "click" chemistry, such as copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions.

Application


  • LaCl(3)-based sodium halide solid electrolytes with high ionic conductivity for all-solid-state batteries.: This article presents the development of LaCl3-based sodium halide solid electrolytes, with a focus on improving ionic conductivity using copper additives, aiming to advance the efficiency and safety of all-solid-state batteries (Fu et al., 2024).


  • Three-in-One Zinc Anodes Created by a Large-scale Two-Step Method Achieving Excellent Long-Term Cyclic Reversibility and Thin Electrode Integrity.: This research introduces a novel two-step method for creating zinc anodes, incorporating copper to achieve superior cyclic reversibility and electrode integrity, thus enhancing the longevity and performance of batteries (Lu et al., 2024).


  • Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy Meets Optical Microscopy: Probing the Local Paths of Charge Transfer Operando in Booster-Microparticles for Flow Batteries.: This study combines scanning electrochemical and optical microscopy to analyze the local charge transfer paths in booster-microparticles, using copper as a key component for improving the operando analysis in flow batteries (Moghaddam et al., 2024).
