However, high temperatures and reducing atmospheres should be avoided in practical applications. In this study, electroless copper-coated CNTs (Cu-CNTs) with high mechanical strength, high conductivity, and oxidation resistance are used as conductive fillers. Isooctylamine and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) are used as complex agents. A copper-based metal-organic decomposition (Cu MOD) ink that can be sintered quickly and at low temperature in an air atmosphere is successfully prepared. The Cu-CNTs uniformly dispersed in the Cu MOD ink act as heterogeneous nucleation sites, not only facilitating the nucleation and growth of copper nanoparticles but also serving as bridges to link the newly formed copper nanoparticles together. The densification, uniformity and mechanical stability of the conductive pattern are significantly improved. Notably, when the Cu-CNTs content is 0.25 wt.%, the densification, conductivity, and mechanical stability of the cured patterns are maximally improved. The resistivity of the Cu-CNTs-0.25 wt.% conductive pattern is as low as 30 × 10<sup>−5</sup> Ω·cm.

For this objective, five levels of carboxymethylated RS (CMRS) with varying degrees of carboxymethylation expressed as carboxyl content, denoted as (CMRS-I to CMRS-V), were synthesized and characterized using FTIR, SEM, XRD, zeta potential, and BET analysis. Different parameters impacting cationic dye adsorption represented as adsorption capacities, such as pH, carboxymethylation extent, treatment duration, and cationic dye and RS concentrations, were thoroughly investigated. Various kinetic models (pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order), isothermal (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin), and thermodynamic investigations were used. The results demonstrated that (a) FTIR, SEM, XRD, zeta potential, and BET analysis confirmed the formation of carboxyl groups onto the CMRS; (b) the adsorption capacity increased by increasing the pH value from 1 to 10, the extent of carboxymethylation from 37.9 to 189.7 meq-COOH/100 g sample, cationic dye concentration from 10 to 100 mg/L, and the adsorption time up to 180 min then leveled off afterward; (c) maximum adsorption capacity was determined to be 31.2 mg/g at pH 10, 50 mg/L dye concentration, 180 min adsorption period, and 0.1 g adsorbent; and (d) kinetic and isothermal experiments demonstrated the superiority of the pseudo-second-order rate equation and Langmuir model with higher R<sup>2</sup> values.
