The aqueous solutions of copper methacrylate (CuMA) and cobalt methacrylate (CoMA) were preferentially prepared, which were then mixed with anhydrous ethanol to fabricate dual metal ion coordination polymers (CuMA\/CoMA). After calcination under an argon atmosphere, the Cu-CoO\/C nanocomposite was obtained. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) showed that the material has banded morphology, and the dual functional nanoparticles were highly dispersed in the carbon matrix. The prepared material was used in a heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction, with the aim of replacing traditional ferric catalysts to solve pH constraints and the mass production of ferric slime. The obtained nanocomposite showed excellent catalytic performance on the degradation of methylene blue (MB) at near-neutral conditions; the discoloration efficiency is about 98.5% within 50 min in the presence of 0.15 mmol\/mL H2O2 and 0.5 mg\/mL catalyst. And good reusability was verified via eight cycles. The plausible pathway for MB discoloration and the possible catalytic mechanism was also proposed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano14020132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,5]],"date-time":"2024-01-05T07:38:31Z","timestamp":1704440311000},"page":"132","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Coordination-Polymer-Derived Cu-CoO\/C Nanocomposite Used in Fenton-like Reaction to Achieve Efficient Degradation of Organic Compounds"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7994-6952","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Linxu","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Resources and Environment Innovation, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan 250101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rupeng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Resources and Environment Innovation, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan 250101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yubo","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Resources and Environment Innovation, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan 250101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xue","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Resources and Environment Innovation, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan 250101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cuizhen","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Municipal and Environmental Engineering, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan 250101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhigang","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Resources and Environment Innovation, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan 250101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Resources and Environment Innovation, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan 250101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yufeng","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Resources and Environment Innovation, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan 250101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuying","family":"Geng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Resources and Environment Innovation, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan 250101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Feiyong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Resources and Environment Innovation, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan 250101, China"},{"name":"Jianda Ecological Environment Innovation Center, Shandong Jianzhu University, Huzhou 313000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hussain, S., Aneggi, E., Trovarelli, A., and Goi, D.
