Among these metals, copper, an essential trace micronutrient that plays a major role in a lot of physiological processes, also can initiate cell death. It can act as a constituent of metalloenzymes, and can act as a mediator for signaling pathways to regulate proliferation and metastasis of tumor. It is also an integral part of some metal-based anticancer drugs. Recent studies have revealed that excessive intracellular copper accumulation leads to the aggregation of mitochondrial lipoylated proteins, causing proteotoxic stress and ultimately resulting in cell death. This newly discovered copper-induced cell death is termed as cuproptosis. In the last few, a lot of research has been done to understand the mechanism of copper-mediated cell death, and attempts have also been made to identify the relationship between cuproptosis and the development of cancer. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview on the significance of copper, its regulation inside the body, the possible mechanism of cuproptosis, and how this cuproptosis can be employed as a therapeutic tool for cancer ablation.</p>","PeriodicalId":145,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry - An Asian Journal","volume":" ","pages":"e202400934"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142613336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is found that increasing the surface area of the electrodes can effectively promote the electrocatalytic efficiency. Herein, the atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) technology was used to prepare FeCoNi-Ni3C alloy coating by adding Ni3C powder to FeCoNi powder with an equal molar ratio. The atomic ratios of Ni3C in the powder are 25 %, 50 %, and 75 %, respectively. The results prove that the pores on the surface of the coating have increased after Ni3C doping, which can provide more active sites in the electrocatalytic process to promote the electrocatalytic reaction. By controlling the proportion of Ni3C, the porosity of the coating surface can be effectively regulated. In 1.0 M KOH electrolyte and 10 mA cm-2, the 50 at.% Ni3C coating shows an overpotential of 105 mV and 212 mV for HER and OER, respectively. It is worth noting that the 50 at.% Ni3C coating has a low Tafel slope of 45.78 mV dec-1 (HER) and 44 mV dec-1 (OER). Furthermore, the 50 %at.

In this review, we focus on the understanding of the structure-stability relationship of M−N−C ORR catalysts and summarize valuable guidance for the rational design of durable M−N−C catalysts.
