Ag@Cu 2 O core-shell metal-semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by using solution phase strategy. It was found that Ag@Cu 2 O core-shell NPs were easily converted to Ag@Cu bimetallic core-shell NPs with the help of surfactant PVP and excessive reducer ascorbic acid in air at room temperature, which is a unique phenomenon. Varying volumes of Ag colloidal solutions were added into the reaction mixtures containing fixed initial concentrations of Cu 2+ and PVP, Ag@Cu 2 O and Ag@Cu core-shell NPs with fixed core size but varying outer shell thicknesses could be obtained. The composites, structures, morphologies and extinction properties of Ag@Cu 2 O and Ag@Cu core-shell NPs were systematically characterized by XRD, TEM and extinction spectra. Both of these NPs show wide tunable optical properties. The extinction peaks could be shifted from 421 nm to 700 nm. FTIR results reveal that Cu + ions on the surface of Cu 2 O nanocrystalline coordinate with N and O atoms in PVP and further are reduced to metallic Cu by excessive ascorbic acid and then form a nucleation site on the surface of Cu 2 O nanocrystalline. PVP binds onto a different site to proceed with the reduction until all the Cu sources in Cu 2 O NPs are completely assumed. And the shell of Cu 2 O is converted to Cu shell. The synthesis approach in this paper is simple and also a promising reference for synthesizing other core-shell NPs. Ag@Cu 2 O NPs can be easily converted to Ag@Cu NPs in air at room temperature, which is promising to be used in electronic devices.

Based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology, Au@Ag@4MBA@5′-NH2-ssDNA probes and a Ag/TiO2@3′-NH2-ssDNA substrate were prepared and constructed into a sandwich structure to develop a high sensitivity bioassay of miRNA-21. The Au@Ag@4MBA@5′-NH2-ssDNA probes were prepared by immobilizing 5′-NH2-ssDNA onto the surfaces of 4MBA-labelled Au@Ag core–shell nanoparticles, and the Ag/TiO2@3′-NH2-ssDNA substrate was prepared by immobilizing 3′-NH2-ssDNA on the surface of Ag/TiO2 nanowires SERS-active substrates. The experimental results showed that the SERS-based sandwich bioassay of miRNA-21 presented a low limit of detection of 0.75 fM and a broad dynamic range from 1.0 fM to 1.0 nM. Also, the test data for the SERS-based sandwich bioassay were not only consistent with that of the real-time fluorescence quantitative polynucleotide chain reaction (RT-qPCR) method but also displayed higher detection sensitivity. It was shown that the SERS-based sandwich bioassay of miRNA-21 has importance for use in potential applications involving diagnosing clinical cancer patients.

Efficient and reusable nanocatalysts fabricated via a facile assembly are highly desirable for the cost-effective hydrogenation reduction. Inspired by a fishing process with a fishnet, multifunctional nanostructured catalysts are rationally designed to combine interesting features via the self-redox assembly of Fe 3 O 4 -Ag composites on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) (Fe 3 O 4 -Ag/rGO). In detail, Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs) endow the ternary hybrids with superparamagnetism (21.42 emu g −1 ), facilitating catalysts to be separated from the reaction system. rGO could provide electron transfer pathways, enhancing catalytic activity. More interestingly, GO and Ag + could behave as oxidants to oxidize Fe 2+ for the in situ assembly of Fe 3 O 4 -Ag/rGO without any addition of reductant/oxidant or organic solvents, and AgNPs endow the ternary hybrids with excellent catalytic behaviour. Meaningfully, the bioinspired process enables the ternary hybrids to possess more abundant micro−/nanopores, larger surface area, and more amorphization. They exhibit exceptional catalytic performance, and could be recycled with excellent activity by means of convenient magnetic separation (at least 7 times). Moreover, the ternary hybrids could degrade methylene blue under UV light due to different valence states of Fe in Fe 3 O 4 . Therefore, the proposed bioinspired assembly and structure design for hierarchical catalysts would pave a promising way to assemble other catalysts.

In situ and real time monitoring chemical reactions has been subjected to widespread concern in many areas. Herein, a novel and efficient SERS platform constructed from coating mesoporous ZrO 2 (mZrO 2 ) interlayer onto an Ag core and subsequently depositing outer Ag nanoparticles was successfully fabricated. The Ag@mZrO 2 @Ag nanocomposite exhibited an ultrahigh SERS sensitivity as well as remarkably photocatalytic property assisted by a plenty of Ag nanoparticles on the outer surface and photoactive mZrO 2. Experimental results proved the limit of detection of Cr(VI) was down to 10 −8 M and the good linearity dependence of SERS intensities on the logarithm of concentration (R 2 = 0.93) was obtained. Moreover, a simple SERS method was used to in situ monitor the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) under visible light (λ > 420 nm). In addition, as practical SERS substrates, Ag@mZrO 2 @Ag nanocomposites presented outstanding signal reproducibility and remarkable storing stability. As a consequent, this study came up with a new strategy for in situ monitoring photocatalytic reactions and will be possibly utilized in chemical sensing and ecological restoration in the future.

Ag-based catalysts have been extensively investigated in HCHO oxidation on account of the low price of the Ag precursor and their considerable low-temperature activity. It is known that H2 pretreatment has a remarkable promotion effect on Pt- and Pd- catalysts for HCHO oxidation, whereas the effect of H2 reduction on Ag-based catalysts has been rarely reported, probably due to the coexistence of multiple states of Ag species resulting from the high Ag loading. Herein, we prepared a 1% Ag/Al2O3 (Ag/Al-fresh) catalyst with Ag species in a uniform state and then reduced Ag/Al-fresh with H2 at 600 °C to obtain the Ag/Al-600H2 catalyst. We observed that H2 reduction had a significant influence on the performance of Ag/Al2O3 nanocatalysts in HCHO oxidation. In a dry reaction atmosphere, Ag/Al-fresh and Ag/Al-600H2 exhibited comparable HCHO conversion levels, but Ag/Al-600H2 showed much higher CO2 selectivity than Ag/Al-fresh. The presence of water vapor severely suppressed the HCHO conversion of the Ag/Al-fresh catalyst, while Ag/Al-600H2 showed high water resistance, maintaining high HCHO conversion and CO2 selectivity at 35% RH. Characterization results showed that the Ag species on Ag/Al-fresh and Ag/Al-600H2 were single-atom cationic Ag and metallic Ag nanoparticles, respectively. It was revealed that the Ag0 nanoparticles were more conducive than single-atom Ag+ to formate decomposition, as well as O2 and H2O activation, thus accelerating the conversion of HCOO– and CO intermediates to CO2 and contributing to the higher activity and water resistance of the Ag/Al-600H2 catalyst.

Ag-based electrodes have emerged as important candidates for the industrial electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (eCO 2 RR) to form CO. Herein, an intrinsic versatile Ag electrode has been derived in situ from Ag-MOF on Ag foam (denoted as ER-AF), which exhibits the highest current density (57.2 mA cm −2 ) at a potential of −1.15 V vs. RHE reported to date for the formation of CO in a commonly used H-type cell. ER-AF has multiple-roles: The 3D dendrite structure promotes mass diffusion; the rich edges sites favor CO 2 adsorption and conversion, and the highly exposed (111) facet facilitates the desorption of CO. Their cooperating functions result in the remarkable performance of ER-AF in the eCO 2 RR to form CO. This work offers an effective strategy to achieve high eCO 2 RR activity and selectivity by assembling the active and stable sites together on the MOF-derived materials.

In this study, based on Ag@AgCl/tubular g-C 3 N 4 (Ag@AgCl/TCN) composite, Ag nanoparticles were deposited on its surface to form Ag nanofilm enhanced composite through photoreduction of excessive silver nitrate solution to obtain Ag nanofilm Ag@AgCl/TCN photocatalyst . Finally, Ag nanofilm Ag@AgCl/TCN/Ti photoanode was successfully prepared by silica-sol drop-coating method, and assembled with Cu 2 O/Cu cathode to construct a photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC). Ag nanofilm can not only enhance the light absorption and utilization of Ag@AgCl/TCN/Ti, but also extend its light response wavelength to visible light , and be used as an electron transfer medium to reduce internal resistance. The photocurrent density and the photoconversion efficiency of the Ag nanofilm/Ag@AgCl/TCN/Ti are 8.01 mA·cm −2 and 1.24%, respectively, which are 2.49 and 2.54 times those of the Ag@AgCl/TCN/Ti photoanode, respectively. The first-order kinetic constant and the maximum power density of the Ag nanofilm-coated Ag@AgCl/TCN/Ti-Cu 2 O/Cu PFC system are 0.064 min −1 and 46.37 μW·cm −2 , respectively, which are 1.39 and 1.94 times those of the Ag@AgCl/TCN-Cu 2 O/Cu PFC system, respectively. In addition, it degraded more than 95% of rhodamine B, 72.68% of tetracycline and 54.25% of bisphenol A within 60 min. The excellent performance of Ag nanofilm/Ag@AgCl/TCN/Ti-Cu 2 O/Cu is due to the strengthening of Ag nanofilm and the formation of S-type heterojunctions between AgCl and TCN. Free radicals (•Cl, h + , •OH, •O 2 - ) and non-radicals ( 1 O 2 ) are involved in the degradation reaction of RhB degradation. It is worth noting that 6% Ag nanofilm/Ag@AgCl/TCN/Ti-Cu 2 O/Cu has a positive effect on the production of •O 2 - , and its output is approximately 1.89 times that of the Ag@AgCl/TCN/Ti-Cu 2 O/Cu. A series of material characterization experiments have been completed and possible mechanisms of operation have been proposed. This study provides a new scheme for the design and preparation of high-efficiency photoanode of PFC.

Carbaryl is a broad-spectrum carbamate fungicide that may pose a threat to ecosystems and human health. To prevent and control the harm caused by excessive application of carbaryl, a full-dimensional divergence effect SERS sensor has been constructed. Biodegradable paper chips were used as sensor substrates. ZIF-8 with structural flexibility was grown in situ on carbon paper. A rough silver layer with surface like metal etching was clad outside the ZIF-8. Artificial antibody (AAB) with accurate grasping ability was polymerized on the surface of ZIF-8@Ag paper substrate. Au@Ag CSNPs were decorated on the AAB to provide abundant “hot spots”. Every functional material layer works together to form a gap and tip region with superior plasmon resonance. The proposed SERS sensor realizes the rapid and accurate on-site screening and localization of carbaryl in food with good correlation responded in the range of 0.01–20 μg·mL −1 and a low detection limit of 5.72 × 10 –3 μ g·mL −1 .

In this study Ti/Ag/Ti tri-layer and Ti–Ag alloy films were deposited on the surfaces of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabrics by multi-target magnetron sputtering system to fabricate highly electro-conductive textiles. Before sputtering, the fabric was treated by polyacrylic acid ester (PA) to form a continuous surface on the surface of PET fabric by padding method. The as-fabricated fabrics were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. And the physical properties of the coated fabrics were evaluated by electrical conductivity, contact angle (CA), flexibility and adhesion. At last, a simple electric circuit was made with the as-treated fabric to evaluate the electrical property and explore its application further. The results of the study revealed that pretreatment with PA could form a continuous film on the surface of PET fabric. The PA-coated PET fabric with Ti/Ag/Ti fabric exhibited excellent electrical property whose electrical resistivity was only 5.1 × 10 −7 Ω m, CA of 137°. The PA-coated PET fabric with Ti–Ag alloy film exhibited a rather lower electrical resistivity of 3.4 × 10 −7 Ω m, CA of about 130°. Moreover, the samples retain ideal flexibility and adhesion. Therefore this study can broaden the application area of magnetron sputtering on discontinuous surface to fabricate electrical conductive fabric. And due to the excellent electro-conductivity, this kind of fabric will be a promising material for smart textiles.

Graphical Novel Ag/TiO 2 @CaSiO 3 materials were synthesized by using Ag-doped titanium cage [AgTi(SC) 2 (HSC)(CH 3 CN)] 2 . Ag + ions serve to disrupt bacterial cell membranes while amplifying the bactericidal effects of superoxide ions and hydroxyl radicals generated by TiO 2 . Within the Ag/TiO 2 @CaSiO 3 materials, Ag/TiO 2 is uniformly distributed on the CaSiO 3 substrate, manifesting significant antibacterial activity. The investigation presents a newly synthesized Ag/TiO 2 @CaSiO 3 composite derived from an orange titanium cage. Obtained through a streamlined fabrication process and calcination at variable temperatures, the material underwent distinct structural alterations. Characterization analyses indicated the emergence of a porous architecture, facilitating robust Ag + ion adsorption. Among the variants studied, materials calcined at 150 °C demonstrated enhanced antibacterial activity against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus . The integration of CaSiO 3 into the Ag/TiO 2 matrix resulted in the formation of Ag/TiO 2 @CaSiO 3 . This composite amalgamates the immediate antibacterial efficacy of Ag + ions with the enduring antibacterial functionality of Ag/TiO 2 , additionally augmenting antibacterial performance through reactive oxygen species generation. Owing to its remarkable antibacterial attributes, the Ag/TiO 2 @CaSiO 3 composite is a promising candidate for addressing infection control challenges in medical settings.

An Ag@AgCl/Ag nanofilm/ZIF-8 composite photocatalyst was successfully constructed for the first time by loading Ag@AgCl and Ag nanofilm on the surface of ZIF-8 simultaneously via a simple deposition-photoreduction method. The formed Ag nanofilm was harnessed as a mediator to transfer photo-induced electrons from the plasmonic Ag@AgCl nanostructure to ZIF-8 for enhancing the photocatalytic reaction rate with visible light. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. The first-order kinetic constant of MB degradation over Ag@AgCl/Ag nanofilm/ZIF-8 (14.762 h −1 ) was nearly 2 times of Ag@AgCl/ZIF-8 (7.932 h −1 ). The electrochemical impedance spectra, photoelectric conversion spectra and ESR DMPO-O 2 − species spectra revealed that AFZ had a lower resistance, higher photocurrent density and more generation of superoxide radical than those of AZ, meaning that the extended interface between Ag nanofilm and ZIF-8 could promote the quick electrons transfer and electron-hole pairs separation. This work provides a new type electrons transfer mediator in fabrication of efficient plasmonic photocatalysts.

Mesoporous TiO 2 with a homogeneous Bi-Ag bimetallic distribution (Bi@Ag@MTs) can be obtained by calcination of a titanium-based metal organic framework (MOF, MIL-125) with Bi and Ag loading and applied to the photocatalytic reduction of nitrate using formic acid as a hole scavenger. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) analyses show that Ag(I) and Bi(III) are present in MTs as fine clusters and Bi@Ag@MTs have a specific pancake structure, which provides a good carrier for photocatalytic reaction. The contents of Ag and Bi in Bi@Ag@MTs can be up to 2.28 wt% and 0.54 wt% analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES). Under UV irradiation, Bi@Ag@MTs(0.2,0.4) showed a high reduction rate (3.28 h −1 , 4.2 times that of P25), high conversion (100 %, 1.3 times that of P25) and high N 2 selectivity (89.2 %, 2.1 times that of P25) for nitrate reduction. In addition, Bi@Ag@MTs(0.2,0.4) showed good reusability, with the respective NO 3 − conversion and N 2 selectivity still reaching 82.2 % and 78.0 % after four cycles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed that under UV irradiation, part of Ag(I) would be reduced to Ag 0 , and the formed Ag-Ag 2 O structure helped to improve the photocatalytic activity of the catalyst. This preparation strategy provides assistance in the design of photocatalytic materials with significant activity and durability for nitrate reduction.
