Abstract
In the present study, we fabricated hollow cubic CuxO nanoparticles (∼23 nm) incorporated with CNF (HC-CuxO/CNF) through controlled thermal oxidation of solid cubic Cu2O nanoparticles (∼21 nm) supported on carbon nanofibers (SC-Cu2O/CNF) under airflow, exploiting the nanoscale Kirkendall effect. These hollow CuxO nanocubes with increased surface areas exhibited outstanding catalytic activity for unsymmetrical chalcogenide synthesis under ligand-free conditions.

Abstract
Triethylamine gas is one of the harmful volatile organic compounds for human health and the ecological environment. Therefore, in order to prevent the detrimental effects of triethylamine gas, it has greatly requirement to be accurately detected. Unfortunately, Cu2O has a low triethylamine gas response and slow recovery. Because of this, we prepared Cu2O/Ti3C2Txnanocomposites by a facile ultrasonication technique. Cu2O is uniformly dispersed on the surface and interlayers of multilayer Ti3C2Txto form a stable hybrid heterostructure. The optimized Cu2O/Ti3C2Txnanocomposite sensor's response to 10 ppm triethylamine at room temperature is 181.6% (∣Rg-Ra∣/Ra × 100%). It is 3.5 times higher than the original Cu2O nanospheres (52.1%). Moreover, due to the characteristics of high carrier migration rate and excellent conductivity of Ti3C2Tx, the response recovery rate (1062 s/74 s) of Cu2O/Ti3C2Txcomposites is greatly improved than pristine Cu2O (3169 s/293 s). In addition, Cu2O/Ti3C2Txnanocomposites sensor also shows excellent repeatability, outstanding selectivity, and long-term stability. Thus, the Cu2O/Ti3C2Txnanocomposites sensor has broad application prospects for detecting triethylamine gas at room temperature.

Abstract
The precise control architectures of Cu2O crystals are very crucial, which have a significant influence on their various performances. Herein, Cu2O crystals with diverse architectures were achieved via finely adjusting the concentration of NaOH. The intriguing results showed that the addition of specific amounts of OH- to the solution was crucial to tailor the morphology and size of the resulting microcrystals. We observed the evolution of the shapes of the Cu2O microcrystals, which change from a rhombic dodecahedron to spherical, octahedral-like and then to hexapod upon the increase in the NaOH concentration. Adjusting the volume of NaOH added provides a means to vary the particle size. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) may reveal that OH- ions serve as an efficient coordination agent selectively adsorbing onto different crystal faces of Cu2O crystals modifying the crystal energies, inducing the structure anisotropy on crystal growth. This work reveals that an effective and facile strategy has been developed for morphology-control of Cu2O crystals.

Abstract
Here, with the aim of obtaining densely packed porous nanostructures of various shape using templateless electropolymerization in organic solvent (dichloromethane), original thieno[3,4- b]thiophene-based monomers with different substituents are studied. First of all, the adding of water in solution has a huge influence on the formation of porous structures because a much higher amount of gas (O2 and/or H2) is released. Rigid substituents such as aromatic groups have a beneficial effect on the formation of nanotubular structures contrary to flexible ones such as alkyl chains. Special results are obtained with the pyrene substituent (Thieno-Pyr). With this monomer, coral-like structures are obtained. These structures are obtained by the formation first on long nanotubular structures and their sagging due to their weight. Then, the released gas is trapped inside these structures leading to huge craters. These exceptional surfaces could be used in the future in various potential applications such as in drug delivery, cell growth, sensors, optical devices or surface adhesion. This article is part of the theme issue 'Bioinspired materials and surfaces for green science and technology (part 2)'.

Abstract
Here we report a highly efficient novel photocatalyst consisting of Cu2O quantum dots (QDs) incorporated into three-dimensional (3D) flower-like hierarchical BiOBr (hereafter designated QDs-Cu2O/BiOBr), which were synthesized via a simple reductive solution chemistry route and applied to decontaminate the hazardous wastewater containing phenol and organic dyes. The deposition of Cu2O QDs onto the surface of the BiOBr was confirmed by structure and composition characterizations. The QDs-Cu2O/BiOBr composites exhibited superior activity for organic contaminant degradation under visible light and 3 wt% QDs-Cu2O/BiOBr composite showed the highest degrade rate for phenol and methylene blue (MB), which was 11.8 times and 1.4 times than that of pure BiOBr, indicated the QDs-Cu2O/BiOBr composite has the great potential application in purifying hazardous organic contaminant. The incorporated Cu2O QDs played an important role in improving the photocatalytic performance, due to the enhancement of visible light absorption efficiency as well as the efficient separation of the photogenerated charge carriers originating from the intimately contacted interface and the well-aligned band-structures, which was confirmed by the results of PL, photocurrent and EIS measurements. The possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed based on the experiments and theoretical results.

Abstract
A gold nanoparticle-coated and surface-textured TiO2 inverse opal (Au/st-TIO) structure that provides a dramatic improvement of photoelectrochemical hydrogen generation has been fabricated by nano-patterning of TiO2 precursors on TiO2 inverse opal (TIO) and subsequent deposition of gold NPs. The surface-textured TiO2 inverse opal (st-TIO) maximizes the photon trapping effects triggered by the large dimensions of the structure while maintaining the adequate surface area achieved by the small dimensions of the structure. Au NPs are incorporated to further improve photoconversion efficiency in the visible region via surface plasmon resonance. st-TIO and Au/st-TIO exhibit a maximum photocurrent density of ∼0.58 mA cm(-2) and ∼0.8 mA cm(-2), which is 2.07 and 2.86 times higher than that of bare TIO, respectively, at an applied bias of +0.5 V versus an Ag/AgCl electrode under AM 1.5 G simulated sunlight illumination via a photocatalytic hydrogen generation reaction. The excellent performance of the surface plasmon-enhanced mesoporous st-TIO structure suggests that tailoring the nanostructure to proper dimensions, and thereby obtaining excellent light absorption, can maximize the efficiency of a variety of photoconversion devices.
