Antibiotic residue detection plays an important role in protecting human health, but real-time, rapid, and highly sensitive detection is still challenging. Herein, gold and silver nanoparticles (Au-Ag NPs) were in situ grown on the surface of optical fibers and a 50-nm thick gold film was deposited on the sensor's surface to fabricate Au-Ag@Au fiber SPR sensor. The sensitivity of the sensor reached 3512 nm/RIU in the refractive index range of 1.328-1.371. When analyzing antibiotic residues in food, the detection limits for Enro and Cip were 0.97 ng mL-1 and 0.70 ng mL-1, respectively. The recoveries of them ranged from 96.64-115.32% and 96.18-121.06% in milk samples. There is a high level of antibiotic residues in meat, milk, and aquatic products and this study has significant potential in food safety testing applications. Moreover, this study will be widely used in environmental monitoring (such as heavy metal ions), medical diagnosis (viruses), marine exploration, drug screening and other analytical fields as well.

The increasing pollution of aquatic environments by antibiotics makes it necessary to develop efficient enrichment and sensitive detection methods for environmental antibiotics monitoring. In this work, silver nanoparticles and carbon nanotube-intercalated graphene oxide laminar membranes (Ag NPs/CNT-GO membranes) were successfully prepared for enrichment and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of antibiotics. The prepared Ag NPs/CNT-GO membranes exhibited a high enrichment ability because of the π–π stacking and electrostatic interactions of GO toward antibiotic molecules, which enhanced the sensitivity of SERS measurements and enabled the antibiotics to be determined at sub-nM concentrations. In addition, the nanochannels created by the intercalation of CNTs into GO layers resulted in an 8-fold enhancement in the water permeance of Ag NPs/CNT-GO membranes compared to that of pure GO membranes. More importantly, the Ag NPs/CNT-GO membranes exhibited high reproducibility and long-term stability. The spot-to-spot variation in SERS intensity was less than 15%, and the SERS performance was maintained for at least 70 days. The Ag NPs/CNT-GO membranes were also used for SERS detection of antibiotics in real samples; the results showed that the characteristic peaks of antibiotics were obviously recognizable. Thus, the sensitive SERS detection of antibiotics based on Ag NPs/CNT-GO offers great potential for practical applications in environmental analysis.

A novel nitrogen-doped biomass carbon/silver (C-N/Ag) composite has been synthesized by a simple method, wherein the precursor of soymilk simultaneously serves as carbon and nitrogen sources, reductant and substrate. The structure, morphology and valence state of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectra. Results show the formation of nano-sized Ag homogenously disperses on the surface of mesoporous substrate, and the self-reduction role mainly attributes to the presence of unsaturated carbon bonding. Electrochemical properties were characterized by galvanostatic discharge and impedance spectra techniques. The sample prepared with 1 mmol AgNO 3 solution, activated by 0.1 M KOH and annealed at 900 °C shows excellent oxygen reduction reaction activity and good electrochemical durability in alkaline medium. The onset potential, limiting diffusion current density and electron transfer number are 0.93 V, 6.26 mA cm −2 and 4.00, respectively, superior to those of 60 wt.% Ag/C and comparable to 20 wt.% Pt/C catalysts correspondingly. The discharge performance of Zn-air batteries is better than that of 20 wt% Pt/C.

We reported a simple and fast method to prepare a composite material of polydopamine (PDA) adlayer covered cubic AgCl core, which was inlaid with Ag nanoparticles (NPs), shortly named as AgCl/PDA/AgNPs. The resultant AgCl/PDA/AgNPs could be employed as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for in-situ detection and the SERS activity could be further greatly improved due to the production of more AgNPs upon laser irradiation. With 4-mercaptopyridine (4-Mpy) as the probe molecule, the enhancement factor could reach 10 7 . Additionally, such SERS substrate shows good reproducibility with relative standard deviation of 7.32% and long term stability (after storage for 100 days under ambient condition, SERS intensity decay is less than 25%). In-situ elevating SERS activity of AgCl/PDA/AgNPs induced by laser may be beneficial to sensitive analysis in practical fields.

Antibacterial thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) electrospun fiber mats were prepared by adsorption of Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) onto TPU/3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) co-electrospun fiber mats from silver sol. The use of APS can functionalize TPU fibers with amino groups, facilitating the adsorption of Ag NPs. The effects of pH of silver sol and APS content on Ag NP adsorption and antibacterial activity were investigated. Ag NP adsorption was evidenced by TEM, XPS and TGA. Significant Ag NP adsorption occurred at pH = 3−5. The main driving force for Ag NP adsorption is electrostatic interaction between ―NH 3
+ of the fibers and ―COO − derived from the ―COOH group capped on the surfaces of Ag NPs. The antibacterial activity of the Ag NP-decorated TPU/APS fiber mats was investigated using both gram-negative Escherichia coli and gram-positive Bacillus subtilis . The antibacterial rate increases with increasing APS content up to 5% where the antibacterial rates against both types of bacteria are over 99.9%.

Visual detection of tumor markers with accuracy and selectivity exhibits significant advantages for cancer early diagnosis due to its low-cost and simple analytical instruments. Herein, a highly photosensitive colorimetric immunoassay for carcino embryonie antigen (CEA, as a model) detection based on Cu 2+ doped Ag-AgI nanocomposite was constructed. First, Cu 2+ doped Ag-AgI nanocomposite (Cu 2+ /Ag-AgI) owned the ability of oxidization of TMB was synthesized by impregnation method, which was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Second, based on sandwich-type immunoassay, the immunocomplex was built on the surface of magnetic bead by utilizing Cu 2+ /Ag-AgI as labels. The blue color of TMB ox was obtained under visible irradiation and ultraviolet spectrum scanning was carried out in ABS buffer solution. Under optimal conditions, the absorbance values increased with the increasing of CEA concentrations in sample with the linearity range of 1.0 pg mL −1 −5.0 ng mL −1 . The detection limit was 0.13 pg mL −1 . More importantly, the developed colorimetric immunoassay exhibited good selectivity, repeatability, stability and possible applications in the real serum sample analysis.

In this paper, we report a novel wavelength interrogation-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) system, in which a film of three Ag layers and three Au layers are alternately deposited on a Kretschmann configuration as sensing element. This multilayer film shows higher sensitivity for refractive index (RI) measurement by comparing with single Au layer structure, which is consistent with its theoretical calculation. A sensitivity range of 2056–5893 nm/RIU can be achieved, which is comparable to RI sensitivities of other wavelength-modulated SPR sensors. Compared with Ag film, this Ag/Au multilayer arrangement offers anti-oxidant protection. This SPR biosensor based on a cost-effective Ag/Au multilayer structure is applicable to the real-time detection of specific interactions and dissociation of low protein concentrations. To extend the application of this highly-sensitive metal film device, we integrated this concept on an optical fiber. The range of RI sensitivities with Ag/Au multilayer was 1847–3309 nm/RIU. This miniaturized Ag/Au multilayer-based fiber optic sensor has a broad application in chemical and biological sensing.

Silver nanoparticle (AgNP)-based nanohybrids have been proposed as efficient antimicrobial agents because of their robust bactericidal activity. However, the direct exposure of AgNPs poses a threat towards mammalian cells. In this article, we report a facile mussel-inspired approach to introduce functional biopolymer coatings to shield AgNP-loaded oxidized carbon nanotubes (AgNPs@oCNT), as well as to modify the interface properties. Two kinds of dopamine-grafted functional biopolymers, heparin and chitosan, were used to reduce the Ag+ ions pre-absorbed onto the oCNT surface and simultaneously form protective coating layers. Their effects on the bactericidal activity and mammal cell biocompatibility of the AgNPs@oCNT were compared. The TEM, FTIR, and XPS results clearly verified the loading of AgNPs and the coating of functional biopolymer on the oCNT surface. Studies of broth turbidity, bacterial growth kinetics, agar plate counts, and live/dead bacterial staining revealed that the biopolymer-coated nanohybrids exhibited robust bactericidal activity against both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, and were as effective as bare AgNPs@oCNT hybrids. The chitosan-coated samples were particularly effective because of the synergistic effects of chitosan and AgNPs. The shielding effects of the anchored functional biopolymers gave the AgNP-based nanohybrids good compatibility with endothelial cells, especially for the heparin-coated samples.

Ag/Ag 2 O-loaded poly(sodium4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite (Ag/Ag 2 O-PSS-rGO) with high catalytic activity was synthesized for sensitive determination of capsaicin . The prepared composite was characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The obtained images revealed the good distribution of Ag/Ag 2 O on the PSS-rGO and confirmed the successful synthesis of the nanocomposite . Adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdsSV) and differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPSV) were used to study the electrochemical performance of the prepared sensor, and showed excellent electro-catalytic activity to the redox reaction of capsaicin due to the synergistic effect between Ag/Ag 2 O and PSS-rGO. Under the optimized conditions, the linear range of capsaicin was found to be 1.0–60 μM with a detection limit of 0.40 μM (S/N = 3).

BACKGROUND Membrane fouling is a main obstacle hindering wider application of membrane technologies, and can cause a decline in flux and increased energy consumption, and more frequent chemical or membrane replacement can increase the operating costs. Membrane fouling is mainly governed by organic fouling and biofouling. In recent years, the development of new materials has provided new methods and thoughts for the research and development of antifouling and antibacterial membranes. RESULTS In this study, to obtain both a highly hydrophilic, antifouling and antibacterial poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane, in situ formed silver (Ag) nanoparticles were immobilized with silica (SiO 2 ) nanoparticles, and then chemically bound onto a PVDF ultrafiltration (UF) membrane surface. The surface modification processes were achieved through a remarkably facile and effective dip-coating method. The impacts of Ag/SiO 2 nanocomposites on membrane performance were investigated when applied in membrane filtration processes simultaneously. This membrane showed higher hydrophilicity and water permeation flux. The PVDF membrane exhibited antibacterial properties and displayed better anti-fouling performance. CONCLUSION The superior performance of the Ag/SiO 2 -PVDF membranes and this facile, effective and scalable modification method hold great promise for their practical application. This work would also be helpful for developing new antifouling and antibacterial membrane and related materials via a convenient and large-scale method. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry

In the present paper, we report on the design and fabrication of a recyclable microfluidic SERS chip with an integrated Au@Ag/TiO2 NTs (gold core silver shell nanoparticles (NPs) with decorated TiO2 nanotube arrays (NTs)) composite SERS substrate. The stripped TiO2 NTs with regularly arranged pore structures were prepared on a Ti foil by easy tape lithography followed by anodic oxidation. The Au@Ag NPs were fabricated on the mouth surface and the inner walls of the TiO2 NTs within a microchannel without clogging via a facile self-assembly chemical plating composite method. Under optimized conditions, the microfluidic SERS chip provided excellent sensitivity to R6G molecules with a detection limit of 10−10 M and a SERS enhancement factor (EF) of 1.15 × 108. Versus single Au NPs, Au@Ag NPs and the Au@Ag/TiO2 plate, the optimized Au@Ag/TiO2 NTs showed improved SERS peak intensities for the C–C–C bending (613 cm−1) of 20, 2.3 and 1.6 times enhancement, respectively. The enhancement effect was attributed to both electromagnetic and chemical enhancement. The photocatalytic performance of the Au@Ag/TiO2 NTs was exploited to recycle the microfluidic SERS chip through UV light photocatalytic purification. The experimental result shows that the microfluidic SERS chip featured high reproducibility and could be used as an efficient SERS detector for many biochemical molecules.

In this research, AgCl/Ag/AgCl core-shell microstructures have been synthesized at room temperature through a facile in situ method. The as-synthesized unique microstructures were characterized by SEM-EDS, XRD, XPS, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. And their photocatalytic activities were evaluated by degradation of methyl orange (MO) under UV, visible and sunlight irradiation. Comparing with the commercially available P25-TiO 2 and AgCl/Ag core-shell microstructures, our as-prepared samples gave the highest reactivity (almost 100% decomposition in 20 min) under direct sunlight irradiation. Their excellent photocatalytic activities are ascribed to the unique three-layered AgCl/Ag/AgCl core-shell microstructures, leading to improved electron-hole (e − -h + ) separation efficiency and promoting the inside charge carriers promptly transferred to the surfaces. In addition, their photocatalytic activity did not show any loss after four-time recycles, revealing high stability. In brief, the as-synthesized three-layered AgCl/Ag/AgCl core-shell microstructures exhibit their promising potential as efficient sunlight-driven photocatalysts for organic pollutants degradation.
