Environmental-friendly photocatalytic technology is attracting considerable attentions in the filed of antibiotic degradation. In this work, an innovative Ag/ZnO/Bi 2 WO 6 catalyst was fabricated using sol–gel and ultrasonic methods for the degradation cefuroxime sodium in wastewater. The optimized Ag/ZnO/Bi 2 WO 6 photocatalyst demonstrated the a remarkable 77.0% photocatalytic efficiency within 180 min under simulated solar sunlight, with an apparent rate constant of 0.01085 min −1 . This efficiency is notably 6.02 and 1.41 times higher than that of pure ZnO and Ag/ZnO, respectively. The Ag/ZnO/Bi 2 WO 6 photocatalyst achieved a degradation efficiency of up to 72.3% in tap water and polluted river water, while achieving 65.7% degradation in pulping wastewater and pharmaceutical wastewater. Experiments involving reactive species scavenging and electron paramagnetic resonance implied that hydroxide radicals were the predominant active species responsible for the degradation. The enhanced catalytic mechanism and degradation pathway were elucidated, providing valuable insights into the construction and development of high-performance catalysts based on zinc oxide.

In recent years, research on piezoelectric pressure sensing has attracted worldwide attention, as eagerly demanded by the development of wearable electronics. However, the current piezoelectric pressure sensors are unable to detect forces along different bending directions with a high resolution, thus limiting their applications in some typical scenarios. To address this issue, this study designed a novel composite structure with ZnO nanorods loaded with Ag nanoparticles (ZnONRs@Ag) and then embedded in highly oriented polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fibers. Due to its unique orientation, the pressure sensor exhibits anisotropy, accurately identifying forces along distinct bending directions (such as perpendicular, parallel, or twisting). The optimized PVDF/ZnONRs@Ag device presents the peak power density of 308.1 nW cm–2 and a sensitivity as high as 0.52 V N–1 and remains stable after 7000 cycles at 1.4 Hz. The highly oriented piezoelectric devices are utilized to monitor various human movements and harvest energy from them. This research provides a viable method for manufacturing self-powered directional pressure sensors, contributing to the advancement of wearable technology and energy harvesting applications.

This paper presents the design of a bottom-up "sandwich" configuration substrate via electrostatic self-assembly. A silver microplate (AgMP) serves as the stable structural base, onto which monolayer graphene is wet-transferred. Au@Ag nanocubes (Au@Ag NCs) are then assembled on the upper layer through liquid-liquid three-phase self-assembly, forming a Au@AgNCs/G/AgMP “sandwich” substrate. The combination of electromagnetic enhancement from noble metal nanoparticles and chemical enhancement from graphene synergistically amplifies the signal of detected molecules, leading to significant Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) enhancement. Experimental results demonstrate that this substrate can detect Rhodamine 6 G (R6G) at concentrations as low as 10 –12 M and Crystal Violet (CV) at 10 –9 M. Moreover, the substrate can detect Aspartame (APM) at concentrations as low as 0.0625 g/L, well below the typical daily intake levels for humans. These findings indicate that the substrate exhibits excellent SERS performance and holds significant potential for broad applications.

Herein, first, MIL-125 samples were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. Then, Ag species were doping on the surface of MIL-125 samples via the photolysis of silver nitrate. Finally, the Z-scheme MIL-125/Ag/BiOBr composite was synthesized via a directed liquid assembly method. The structure, morphology, and optical properties of the prepared samples were investigated via X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopic mapping, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, N2 adsorption–desorption analysis, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, surface photovoltage analysis, transient photocurrent response analysis, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and electron spin resonance analysis. Photocatalytic experiments indicated that the photocatalytic Cr6+ reduction efficiency of MIL-125/Ag/BiOBr heterojunctions was 85.7% at pH = 6, which was approximately 5.5 and 2.2 times higher than that using BiOBr and MIL-125 alone, respectively. This performance was attributed to the intimate interfacial contact between MIL-125 and BiOBr and the doping of Ag species, which increased the transfer and separation of photogenerated carriers and inhibited the recombination of electrons and holes. Furthermore, the possible photocatalytic Cr6+ reduction mechanism of the Z-scheme MIL-125/Ag/BiOBr photocatalyst was proposed.

The fabrication of sensitive and homogeneous surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates is the key to its practical application. In this paper, flower-like silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were successfully synthesized in water/ethanol/n-octanol emulsions by an assistant of citric acid and sodium citrate. The size and surface roughness of flower-like Ag NPs can be adjusted by changing the experimental parameters, such as the ratio of citric acid to sodium citrate, and the concentration of ascorbic acid. The resulting flower-like Ag NPs were constructed to form a homogeneous single-layer film by a three-phase interfacial self-assembly method. The performance of the film as SERS substrate was investigated using Rhodamine 6G as a probe molecule, and the enhancement factor was as high as 2.7 × 10 7 . In addition, the SERS substrate exhibits excellent repeatability, with a relative standard deviation of 6.5% for point-to-point Raman intensity changes. The current research will provide a new strategy for SERS sensors in food, environment, and medical applications.

Membrane technology is a promising candidate for ethylene/ethane (C 2 H 4 /C 2 H 6 ) separation, but the separation factor and long-term stability of commercially available polymer membranes remain still insufficient to meet industrial requirements. Incorporating facilitated metal-ion carriers or unsaturated metal sites of fillers into polymers shows exceptional C 2 H 4 /C 2 H 6 separation efficiency due to the intensified olefin-favorable sorption . However, their separation performance usually dropped within a few hours due to the inactivation of the facilitated transport carrier or poisoning of unsaturated sites in presence of water vapor . Herein, we adopt a facile and effective method to prepare long-term stable Silicalite-1@Ag (S-1@Ag) mixed matrix membranes (MMM) by in-situ embedding the vulnerable carrier Ag + into the pores of the hydrophobic zeolite to protect the Ag + from deactivation. The 12 wt% S-1@Ag filler uniformly dispersing within the commercial 6FDA-DAM exhibits superior separation performance that surpasses the 2013 upper bound in terms of C 2 H 4 permeability of 29.74 barrer and C 2 H 4 /C 2 H 6 selectivity up to 7.66 for equimolar mixed gas. Furthermore, the hydrophobicity nature and framework shielding towards Ag + of S-1 guarantees the excellent almost 2-months stable separation of C 2 H 4 /C 2 H 6 by S-1@Ag MMMs under the high relative humidity conditions, demonstrating its potential for industrial applications.

In the current study, catalytic oxidation technology is among the most widely used methods for removing chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs). This article details the preparation of the Ag-Mn@ZSM-5 catalyst, which was prepared via the hydrothermal approach, followed by the incorporation of nano-Ag. The focus of the study is the catalytic oxidation of chlorobenzene (CB). Experimental results indicate that the hydrothermally synthesized nano-silver modified Ag-Mn@ZSM-5 catalyst, exhibiting a T90 of 290 °C, demonstrates superior performance compared to the Ag-Mn/ZSM-5 catalyst prepared via the traditional impregnation method, which has a T90 of 365 °C. As the operating airspeed increased from 7000 h −1 to 42000 h −1 , the removal efficiency of CB consistently remained above 90%, with stability maintained over a duration of 30 h. Furthermore, the catalyst exhibited excellent water resistance during a 12 h switching water test. Based on the characterization results, after loading Ag, the ratio of Mn 4+ and Mn 3+ on the surface of the Ag-Mn@ZSM-5 catalyst increases, the reducibility is enhanced, and the surface adsorbed oxygen species is increased, which is conducive to improving the catalytic activity. In addition, the Ag-Mn@ZSM-5 catalyst possesses an optimal pore structure, the proportion of mesoporous is 79.06%, suitable redox capacity, abundant acidic sites, and features a compact crystal stacking structure, which results in remarkable stability, catalytic activity, and space velocity resistance of the catalyst. These advantageous properties facilitate the adsorption and deep oxidation of CB. This study presents promising prospects for industrial applications and aims to offer innovative strategies for the treatment of chlorine-containing waste gases.

The development of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on metal/semiconductor nanostructured platforms has emerged as a promising technique for achieving highly sensitive and recyclable detection across various fields, including environmental monitoring, food safety, biomedical diagnostics, and the preservation of cultural heritage. However, the design and fabrication of cost-effective metal/semiconductor nanostructures suitable for SERS substrates remain a formidable challenge. In this study, a low-cost, recyclable SERS substrate based on Ag nanoparticle decorated ZnO nanosheets (Ag/ZnO NSs) arrays was developed using hydrothermal growth and photochemical reduction approaches. The optimized Ag/ZnO NSs arrays demonstrated local electric field enhancement and multi-path charge transfer, ensuring an enhancement factor of 10 7 and a detection limit of 10 −10 mol/L for crystal violet molecules. This research not only sheds light on the economical production of metal/semiconductor SERS substrates but also paves the way for a broader spectrum of SERS-based detection applications in diverse fields.

Nanogap-rich plasmonic metal nanostructures have attracted great attention in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications due to their prominent performances. Herein, utilizing enhanced surface diffusion of Ag atoms on a low energy surface, a facile fabrication strategy is developed to construct a large-area Ag “sesame cake-like” (ASCL) array by combining the ultra-thin alumina mask (UTAM) and vapor deposition technique. Owing to the multiple plasmonic coupling effects, the proposed ASCL array possesses enormous hotspots responsible for remarkable sensitivity with an enhancement factor of 4.9 × 10 6 , excellent reproducibility with a relative standard deviation (RSD) smaller than 7.12 % and obvious polarization independent in SERS analysis, which are confirmed by numerical simulations. In addition, the possibility to be fabricated on the flexible substrate makes the ASCL array substrate well meet the increasing demands for practical applications in the fields of food safety, health and environment monitoring.

To better balance background leakage and disassociation kinetics in traditional ligand-aptamer competition-based transduction, herein we explore the ratiometric fluorescence ability of red- and green-emissive Ag cluster ( r AgC and g AgC) that is illuminated by the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-induced proximity hybridization. For proof-of-concept, an ATP-recognizable strand (AS) encoding the aptamer sequence (aS) in the middle and a stem-loop bi-template hairpin ( b TH) are introduced. Originally, the partial sequence for r AgC is blocked in the stem of hairpin-structured b TH, while tethering an exposed g AgC-clustering toehold for ‘green-on’ emission . Upon inputting ATP, the specific ATP-aptamer binding induces the dynamic switch of random-coil AS into stable hairpin structure (off-to-on transition) with a short-paired stem, in which two split invaders are oriented closely as a parent invader to interfere the unpaired loop of b TH. Through perfect proximity hybridization, rapid orthogonal DNA assembly urges b TH to lose its hairpin conformation geometry, thereby connecting the contiguous stem for preferable development of r AgC with ‘red-on’ emitting signal. Thus, ligand ATP and aptamer AS are like a logic ‘key/switch’ pair to execute an input-output connection. As predicted, the fluorescence intensity of r AgC and g AgC reversely changes in a tailored ATP-responsive route, obtaining the dose-dependent ratiometric response for sensing ATP. The conformation alteration by ligand-aptamer recognition would be more beneficial to guide precise proximity hybridization between two reactive species, constructing an applicable biosensing platform with simplification, specificity, low background and rapid reaction kinetics.

Melamine foam (MF) supported NiCo 2 S 4 /Ag nanowires (AgNWs) were facilely prepared and used as the compressible electrode for the asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC). AgNWs and NiCo 2 S 4 were successively decorated on the surface of MF by a two-step impregnation approach, and the resultant NiCo 2 S 4 /AgNWs/MF exhibited a high deformation-tolerance and outstanding electrochemical behaviors due to the flexible skeleton of MF, high electrical conductivity of AgNWs and high specific capacitance of NiCo 2 S 4 . More importantly, the nanosized NiCo 2 S 4 could be effectively activated by charging/discharging as the NiCo 2 S 4 nanoparticles were gradually converted into NiOOH and CoOOH nanosheets during the repeated charging/discharging cycles, resulting in significantly high capacitance retention (155 % after 2000 charging/discharging cycles). Finally, an ASC was fabricated by using NiCo 2 S 4 /AgNWs/MF as the cathode and MF supported Ti 3 C 2 T x /AgNWs (Ti 3 C 2 T x /AgNWs/MF) as the anode, which showed a high energy density of 28.8 mWh cm −3 at the power density of 754 mW cm −3 .

A series of Ag-modified manganese-mullite (SmMn2O5) catalysts with different Ag contents (1, 3, and 6 wt.%) were prepared via a citric acid sol–gel method for catalytic soot oxidation. The catalysts were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and H2temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR). The soot oxidation activity of the mullite was significantly promoted by the addition of silver and affected by the loading amount of the metal. Herein, the influences of silver loading on the metal size distribution and its interactions with the mullite were studied. Based on these characterizations, a possible soot oxidation reaction mechanism was proposed for silver-modified SmMn2O5.
