Silver particles have been widely used in SERS detection as an enhancement substrate. The large-scale synthesis of Ag particles with controllable size and shape is still a challenge. We demonstrate a high-throughput method for the preparation of monodisperse submicron silver particles using S-shaped microfluidic chips. Submicron silver particles were prepared by a simplified reduction method. By adjusting the concentration of the reducing agent ascorbic acid and the stabilizer PVP, the particle size and morphology could be controlled, obtaining a size distribution of 1–1.2 μm for flower-like silver particles and a size distribution of 0.5–0.7 μm for quasi-spherical silver particles. This microfluidic system can be used to fabricate submicron silver particles on a large scale, continuously and stably, with a production efficiency of around 1.73 mg/min. The synthesized submicron silver particles could realize ultra-sensitive SERS detection, and the lowest concentration of rhodamine 6G (R6G) that could be detected was 10−9M.Keywords:submicron silver particles;microfluidic chip;SERS detection

Nanoscale silver (n-Ag) including silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), silver chloride nanoparticles (AgCl-NPs), and silver sulfide nanoparticles (Ag2S-NPs) and their corresponding ionic counterpart, namely, dissolved Ag, may coexist in soils. X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) is used to elucidate the speciation of n-Ag in soils, whereas it possesses drawbacks like high costs, rare availability of the instrument, and providing semiquantitative data. We developed a new method for the identification and speciation of n-Ag in soils and sediments based on a sequential extraction technique coupled with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Extraction conditions were first evaluated, establishing the optimal extraction procedure; Ag-NPs, AgCl-NPs, and dissolved Ag in soil were simultaneously extracted by using an aqueous solution of 10 mM tetrasodium pyrophosphate, followed by selective isolation and quantification via AgCl-NPs dissolution (4.45 M aqueous ammonia), centrifugation (Ag-NPs), and detection. The Ag2S-NPs remaining in the soil were then extracted with Na2S solution at pH 7.0 through selective complexation. Optimal recoveries of Ag-NPs, AgCl-NPs, Ag2S-NPs, and dissolved Ag were 99.1 ± 2.4%, 112.0 ± 3.4%, 96.4 ± 4.0%, and 112.2 ± 4.1%, respectively. The method was validated to investigate the speciation of n-Ag in soils and sediments, exhibiting the distribution of Ag-NPs, AgCl-NPs, Ag2S-NPs, and dissolved Ag in each sample, wherein Ag2S-NPs, the major species of n-Ag, accounted for 35.42–68.87% of the total Ag. The results of n-Ag speciation in soil are comparable to those obtained through the linear combination fitting of XANES. This method thus is a powerful, yet convenient, substitute for XANES to understand the speciation of n-Ag in complex solid matrices.

A novel sintered-joining of Al 2 O 3 and AlN is achieved for the first time using micro-Ag particle interlayers in air. In comparison with reactive air brazing , this method addresses the issue of reduced strength caused by air holes in brazed joints . Also, this sintered-joining method can be performed at a lower temperature (920 °C), improving the joint strength by relieving the residual stresses. The sintering effect of micro-Ag particles and their high density of dislocations promote the recovery and recrystallization of the Ag interlayer, as well as the interdiffusion of Ag and ceramic. Ag–O clusters formed at the interface can be embedded into oxygen vacancies on the ceramic surface, playing a key role in interfacial joining. By optimizing joining temperature, assembly pressure and holding time, a maximum joint shear strength of 85.2 MPa is achieved at 920 °C for 30 min with an assembly pressure of 1 MPa. This study successfully prepares Al 2 O 3 /AlN joints with excellent mechanical properties, providing a reliable foundation for the fabrication of power integrated circuits with efficient operation.

Organic contaminant has detrimental influence on aquatic life and humankind through water circulation. In this work, Ag coated melamine sponge (Ag-P@MS) has been successfully prepared by facile, one-step and in-situ deposition method with the assistance of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Methylene blue and congo red as the representative of dyes and 4-nitrophenol as the typical of nitrophenol contaminants are employed to evaluate the catalytic performance of the as-prepared Ag-P@MS. The as-prepared MS composite (Ag-P@MS(6.5)) in the nearly neutral condition demonstrates better catalytic property than that of Ag-P@MS(10.5), and the apparent rate constants for Ag-P@MS(6.5) degradation of MB, CR and 4-NP are 0.01356 s −1 , 0.00886 s −1 and 0.00465 s −1 , respectively. The present work presents a novel approach for the preparation of Ag carrying monolith catalysts based melamine sponge and the potential practical application prospect due to their excellent catalytic performance for organic pollutant.

AlN metallization substrates hold broad application potential in the field of electronic packaging due to their high thermal conductivity and unique electrical insulation properties. The present work reports a method for preparing Ag coatings by directly pressing and sintering micro-Ag particles on the AlN surface in air without additional brazing fillers or pre-treatment. The in-situ formation of the Ag-containing Al 2 O 3 interlayer (~200 nm) is critical for the interfacial bonding at the AlN/Ag interface. The diffusion of Ag particles into Al 2 O 3 not only enhances the interfacial adhesion of the Ag layer but also improves thermal conductivity. Notably, AlN/Ag exhibits a high bonding strength of 67.6 MPa with an excellent thermal conductivity of 178.7 W·m -1 ·K -1 at 950°C. The Ag layer demonstrates superior surface hardness and electrical conductivity at 900°C due to its high density and low grain boundary density.

Conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) has garnered extensive research interest as the electrode material for supercapacitors due to its excellent conductivity and high specific capacitance. However, the dense stacking of PEDOT:PSS leads to a low utilization for high areal capacitance, due to the limited amounts of active sites exposure to electrolytes. In this study, Ag particles are first incorporated into PEDOT:PSS ink to produce PEDOT:PSS/Ag composite electrode materials, which are then used to construct paper-based flexible supercapacitors via a scalable screen-printing technique. Benefiting from the improved electrical property and surface morphology, the areal capacitance of the supercapacitor based on PEDOT:PSS/Ag composite electrodes is found to be 3.87 times greater than that of the pure PEDOT:PSS electrode. Moreover, the paper-based supercapacitor also exhibits exceptional flexibility, maintaining over 80% of its initial capacitance even after 9000 bending cycles. These findings indicate that PEDOT:PSS/Ag composite electrodes are promising candidates for high-performance flexible supercapacitors, highlighting their potential to supply continuous power for application in future flexible electronics.

Cu@HBP-SH@Ag particles have been prepared by a facile synthesis strategy. Initially, thiol-terminated hyperbranched polymer (HBP-SH) was synthesized by stepwise polymerization. Subsequently, Cu particles covered with HBP-SH were prepared by reduction technology using HBP-SH as dispersant and template. Finally, Cu@HBP-SH@Ag particles were obtained by reduction reaction. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy confirmed presence of HBP-SH on the surface of the Cu particles. The crystal structure was examined by x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) analysis confirmed formation of Cu@HBP-SH@Ag particles. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the Cu@HBP-SH@Ag particles had better antioxidation properties than the Cu particles.

The growth of materials is directly driven by the interface environment, where mass and energy transfer occurs. To some extent, the heterogeneous interface determines the diversity of material structures. Owing to the nanoscale and time dependence of the interface environment, it is a challenging issue to describe the interface quantitatively. Here, we propose to use chemical potential difference (Δμ) to quantify the interface environment in the synthesis of silver particles. Silver particles are synthesized by an electrodeposition approach at the interface of electrodes. The interface chemical distribution, which is regulated by the reaction rate, diffusion rate, and forced convection, is quantified by the chemical potential difference. It is found that the morphologies of silver particles are closely dependent on the chemical potential difference. At a low chemical potential difference, polyhedron-like silver particles form. A high chemical potential difference leads to the formation of silver dendrites, and an extremely high value switches the growth domination to nucleation domination, forming silver nanoparticles. This study shows that the chemical potential difference is a valuable factor to quantify the interface environment, which may be used to discover the significance of the interface in energy and mass transfer.

It remains a huge challenge to efficiently recycle the printed circuit boards (PCBs) because of the diversity and complexity of the PCBs in terms of material composition. The recycling of PCBs highly depends on the design of the polymers that make up the polymer substrates and conductive pastes. Herein, closed-loop recyclable plastics for use as the polymer substrates and for the preparation of the conductive pastes are fabricated by dynamically cross-linking phenylboronic acid-functionalized poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA-B) and poly(urea-urethane) (PUU-B) with boroxines. The closed-loop recyclable plastic, which is denoted as PMMA-PUU exhibits a breaking strength of 71.0 MPa and Young's modulus of 1.8 GPa. Because of the dynamic nature of boroxines, the PMMA-PUU 0.6 plastic can be depolymerized in the N, N-dimethylacetamide/ethanol mixture solvent. The depolymerized PMMA and PUU can be efficiently recovered in high yields and purity through their solubility differences in selective solvents. Conductive pastes suitable for printing of electrical circuits are fabricated through complexation of Ag particles with PMMA-PUU. PCBs composed of PMMA-PUU substrates and PMMA-PUU-based conductive pastes are flexible, healable, and recyclable. The closed-loop recycling of the PCBs enables the collection of highly purified Ag particles, PMMA-B, and PUU-B monomers even when the PCBs are mixed with polymer wastes.

In industry, silver-based catalysts are the mainstream choice for converting ethylene to ethylene oxide (EO), and the morphology of Ag particles plays an important role in their catalytic performance; however, related studies are scarce. In this work, evidence from SEM shown that we successfully synthesized three different morphologies of Ag particles induced by different solvent, i.e., flower-like Ag (Fl-Ag), spheroidal Ag (Sp-Ag) and sheet-like Ag (Sh-Ag), dissolve them respectively into the mixed solution of silver nitrate/oxalic acid to form a suspension, then load onto α-Al 2 O 3 . Through were calculated from the XRD peak area the Ag(100) surface occupancy has the order of Fl-Ag (30 %) > Sh-Ag (20 %) > Sp-Ag (15 %), and the selectivity of EO has positive relation with similar order of Fl-Ag/Al 2 O 3 (85 %) > Sh-Ag/ Al 2 O 3 (72 %) > Sp-Ag/Al 2 O 3 (70 %). The selectivity of Fl-Ag/Al 2 O 3 for EO at 210 °C was 85 %. It is shown that Ag(100) surface has better O 2 interaction and activated than that of Ag(111) surface, and (100) has a lower activation energy than the side reaction (0.9 eV vs 1.0 eV), facilitates the conversion of ethylene to ethylene oxide. This study provides a new method to design and optimize silver catalysts.

In this manuscript, the third-generation hyperbranched polyester was synthesized with 2, 2-dimethylol propionic acid as AB 2 monomer and pentaerythrite as core molecule by using step by step polymerization process at first. Then, the Cu-Ag particles were prepared by co-reduction of silver nitrate and copper nitrate with ascorbic acid in the aqueous solution using hyperbranched polyester as template. Finally, the Cu-Ag@Ag particles were prepared by coating silver on the surface of Cu-Ag particles by reduction of silver nitrate. The synthesized hyperbranched polyester and Cu-Ag@Ag particles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, UV-vis spectra, x-ray diffraction, Laser light scattering, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and SEM. UV-vis spectra results showed that the Cu-Ag@Ag particles had a strong absorption band at around 420 nm. Laser light scattering and SEM studies confirmed that the most frequent particle sizes of Cu-Ag@Ag particles were 1.2 um. TGA results indicated that the Cu-Ag@Ag particles had good thermal stability.

This paper introduces a method to synthesize thick-shell Cu@Ag particles, with nanorod-shape silver wrapped on the copper surface after substitution and reduction reactions. The average size of silver nanorods is less than 50 nm and that of the copper particles is about 1 μm. The surface morphology, structure, and sintering properties of Cu@Ag particles were characterized in detail. The results show that the sintering temperature of thick-shell Cu@Ag is 127.5 °C, which is lower than that of Cu@Ag particles covered with island-shape and block-shape silver nanoparticles. The conductive ink was prepared by mixing it with resin paste, and the bulk conductivity of the conductive paste under different sintering conditions was investigated. The optimal -process parameters were chosen to conduct the printing of radio frequency identification (RFID) antennas. The farthest reading distances achieved by the ultra-high frequency RFID (UHF RFID) and the high-frequency RFID (HF RFID) were 9.4 m and 3.5 cm, respectively, which have good prospect of practical application.
