A label-free electrochemical immunosensor was developed to rapidly detect tilmicosin (TMC) residues in pork and milk. The immunosensor was constructed by immobilizing a high-affinity monoclonal antibody against TMC on an rGO-PEI-Ag nanocomposite-modified electrode. The rGO-PEI-Ag nanocomposites were prepared by mixing polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with AgNO 3 solution. The prepared rGO-PEI-Ag nanocomposites showed good redox activity and conductivity, as characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). During the preparation process, staphylococcal protein A (SPA) was added to targetedly bind the Fc segment of the monoclonal antibody. The immunosensor showed a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.0013 ng/mL, a linear range of 0.01–100 ng/mL, and recoveries ranging from 92.77 to 100.02% in pork and 92.26–101.23% in milk. Furthermore, the immunosensor exhibited good stability, reproducibility, and specificity in detecting TMC in pork and milk real samples.

A new aqueous sol was synthesized to prepare Ag-doped TiO 2 /Ti composite tight ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. This sol was prepared based on water (>95 wt%), for which the hydrodynamic size of 8 nm could be obtained by tuning the electrostatic and steric repulsive forces, breaking the limit of the polymeric sol–gel method to prepare tight UF membranes. For the preparation of the sol, high water content can significantly reduce the use of organic solvents and is more environment-benign. Moreover, Ag doping can considerably improve the toughness of the supported membranes to efficiently prevent the TiO 2 /Ti composite membranes from cracking and overcome the thermal expansion mismatch of ceramic membranes and their metallic supports. The prepared Ag-doped TiO 2 /Ti composite membranes presented a molecular weight cut-off of 3 kDa with a pure water flux of 24 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 and exhibited good dye removal capabilities. The proposed Ag doping method has considerable potential for the fabrication of integrated hybrid ceramic–metallic composite membranes.

Despite the success of galvanic replacement in preparing hollow nanostructures with diversified morphologies via the replacement reaction between sacrificial metal nanoparticles (NPs) seeds and less active metal ions, limited advances are made for producing branched alloy nanostructures. In this paper, we report an extended galvanic replacement for preparing branched Au–Ag NPs with Au-rich core and Ag branches using hydroquinone (HQ) as the reductant. In the presence of HQ, the preformed Ag seeds are replaceable by Au and, in turn, supply the growth of Ag branches. By altering the feed ratio of Ag seeds, HAuCl4, and HQ, the size and morphology of the NPs are tunable. Accordingly, the surface plasmon resonance absorption is tuned to near-infrared (NIR) region, making the branched NPs as potential materials in photothermal therapy. The branched NPs are further coated with polydopamine (PDA) shell via dopamine polymerization at room temperature. In comparison with bare NPs, PDA-coated branched Au–Ag (Au–Ag@PDA) NPs exhibit improved stability, biocompatibility, and photothermal performance. In vitro experiments indicate that the branched Au–Ag@PDA NPs are competitive agents for photothermal ablation of cancer cells.

A novel Ag/ZnO/C plasmonic photocatalyst was synthesized via a facile calcination and photodeposition route. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS). The results indicated that Ag and ZnO nanoparticles sized 5–10 nm were uniformly dispersed on the surface of the carbonaceous layers in Ag/ZnO/C composites. The adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity were investigated by adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) in aqueous solution. The results showed that the obtained Ag/ZnO/C sample exhibited higher adsorption capacity and enhanced UV and visible light driven photocatalytic activity to TC-HCl compared to ZnO/C and pure ZnO. With the presence of Ag nanoparticles and carbonaceous layers incorporated in the structure, the Ag/ZnO/C composites can make use of not only the UV region of sunlight, but also the visible region and efficiently promote photogenerated electron separation and transportation as well as generating more active reaction sites, which synergistically facilitate the photocatalysis process. Our present work provides a simple and new pathway for the design of ZnO-based catalysts that respond to both UV and visible light and promotes their practical application in various environmental and energy issues driven by solar light.

In this work, a label-free and sensitive fluorimetric method has been developed for the detections of biothiols including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), based on the specific biothiol-induced inhibition of the oxidase-like activity of silver ions (Ag + ). It is well established that o -phenylenediamine (OPD) can be oxidized by Ag + ions to generate fluorescent 2,3-diaminophenazine (OPDox). The introduction of biothiols would inhibit the oxidation of OPD by Ag + due to the strong coordination between biothiols and Ag + . The changes of fluorescence intensities obtained in the Ag + -OPD system exhibited good linear correlations in the ranges of 0.50–30.0 μM for Cys, 1.0–45.0 μM for Hcy and 0.50–40.0 μM for GSH. The detection limits (S/N = 3) of Cys, Hcy and GSH were 110 nM, 200 nM and 150 nM, respectively. Subsequently, the developed fluorimetric method was successfully applied for the detection of biothiols in human serum.

Herein, an autocatalytic route to fabricate dual metal ion-equipped organic/inorganic hybrid silica, an ideal precursor for multifunctional silica-based composites integrated with well-dispersed Ag and Co3O4 nanoparticles was demonstrated. Significantly, by rational selection of reactants, such dual metal ion-equipped organic/inorganic hybrid silica can be synthesized through successive spontaneous reactions under near neutral conditions without an additional catalyst. Both the Ag+ and Co2+ ions are introduced into silica by chemical bonds, which favor the formation of small-sized and well-dispersed Ag and Co3O4 nanoparticles without aggregation in the entire silica matrix. After calcination, multifunctional silica composites equipped with well-dispersed Ag and Co3O4 nanoparticles were obtained. The as-obtained silica composites, as indicated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), have a spherical morphology and smooth surface. TEM tests also reveal the well dispersed fashion of Ag and Co3O4 nanoparticles. In addition, the obtained Ag–Co3O4@SiO2 composites exhibit good catalytic performance in the reduction of methylene blue (MB) with NaBH4 as a reducing agent, and can be readily recycled by an external magnetic field due to their superparamagnetic properties.

Ag–CeO2 nanocomposites (Ag@CeO2 NCs) with a core–shell structure have been successfully synthesized through the combination of a redox reaction and the reverse micelle technique without any additional reductants or surfactants. Under a N2 atmosphere, the redox reaction automatically occurs between Ag+ and Ce3+ in an alkaline solution, resulting in the formation of Ag@CeO2 NCs by the self-assembly process. By using the XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, XPS, and ICP methods, the characterized results of Ag@CeO2 NCs show that Ag nanoparticles (NPs) with a diameter of 3–7 nm are surrounded by CeO2 NPs. Compared to CeO2 supported Ag NPs, free Ag NPs, and CeO2, the as-synthesized Ag@CeO2 NCs exhibit a superior catalytic activity and high sustainability for the hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol (C6H5NO3, 4-NP) and 2-nitroaniline (C6H6N2O2, 2-NA) with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in water solution at room temperature. The Ag@CeO2 NCs can achieve a complete reduction of 4-NP and 2-NA with turnover frequencies (TOF) of 138.7 and 109.8 h−1, respectively. The durability tests show that the Ag@CeO2 NCs are still highly active for the reduction of 4-NP and 2-NA, preserving 98% and 95% of their initial catalytic activity even after ten runs.

Gold-silver bimetallic fluorescence quenching nanoprobe has been synthesized based on the gold triangular nanoplate with silver coating. In order to guarantee the specificity of the probe, surface modifications of the triangular nanoplates including carboxyl replacement, carboxyl activation and antibody connection have been carried out. The fluorescence spectral study indicates that the fluorescence intensity of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) could be effectively quenched by the silver coated-gold triangular nanoprobe. And the fluorescence quenching ability could be improved by optimizing the interaction time and amount of binding anti-CEA to modified nanoprobe, and the interaction time of binding CEA to anti-CEA. By using this sensing method, the CEA could be detected with an ultra low detection limit of 10 pg/mL, and the linear range spans a scope from 20 to 200 pg/mL. Interference experiment results show that the influence from the interfering proteins could be neglected in the detection procedure. And the CEA could be specifically detected by using this bimetallic triangular nanoplate probe.

Magnetic catalysts (Ag/AgCl/(x)FeX) were fabricated via a facile hydrothermal method followed by a precipitation–photo-reduction method. The Ag/AgCl/(x)FeX catalysts were applied to activate persulfate (PS) for tetracycline (TC) degradation. The degradation efficiencies of the Ag/AgCl/(x)FeX–PS system for TC removal were high due to the enhanced adsorptive capacity of (x)FeX, extended absorbance in the visible-light region and improved space separation of photo-induced charge carriers. The Ag/AgCl/(0.05)FeX catalyst exhibited better performance for TC removal compared with the other samples and complete degradation of TC could be achieved in 120 min by using 1 g L−1 Ag/AgCl/(0.05)FeX and 5.0 mM PS at pH 3.5. The characterization of the catalysts and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) studies indicated that TC was mainly degraded by surface-adsorbed radicals resulting from the reaction between PS and Fe(II) on the catalysts under visible light. The Ag/AgCl/(x)FeX–PS system provides new insights for contaminant removal from water.

A dispersed and stable catalytic active phase and a protective reaction environment are acknowledged as ideal metal catalyst characteristics. In this paper, a cores@shell structure of microreactor with a well-dispersed active phase of multiple free-Ag-cores, hollow cavity and protective mesoporous shell was prepared by a simple and novel construction approach. The organic ligand of aminosilane (APTES) was directly incorporated on carbon nanospheres to anchor Ag ions as a metallotemplate, which avoids the tedious steps of conventional methods, and then the sacrificed metallotemplate was employed for directly fabricating the special hollow mesoporous silica microreactors. As a result, multiple free active Ag-cores were in situ produced and encapsulated in the cavity of hollow mesoporous silica during the thermal process. The important evidence of the configuration including a big hollow cavity containing active multiple-Ag nanoparticles and a mesoporous SiO2-shell can be demonstrated with efficient techniques including XRD, FT-IR, XPS, BET, SEM and TEM. Just as expected, the catalyst as a functional microreactor exhibited a high catalytic activity for the liquid-reduction of 4-nitrophenol, and the increasing dosage of used catalyst contributes to the enhancing of catalytic activity. The methodology demonstrated here provides a new insight for the fabrication of versatile functional nanomaterials with noble or transition metals inside a hollow shell.

A time- and energy- saving solution-based chemical precipitation method was developed to synthesize leaf-like CuO nanostructures. The morphology and size of the leaf-like CuO nanostructures could be simply manipulated by controlling the type and concentration of precursors, and the oriented attachment mechanism is responsible for the formation of leaf-like shape. With the concurrent reduction reaction and at appropriate concentration, CuO/Ag microspheres could be prepared and the growth mechanism is proposed. These two structures could serve as effective photocatalyst for the degradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradiation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, compared to pure CuO nanostructures, the photodecomposition activity of CuO/Ag microspheres increases by 42.9% due to plasmon-enhanced light absorption.

Harvesting solar energy for steam generation has been widely applied in processes, such as sterilization, water purification , sea water desalination , and electricity generation . It has been found that a nanoparticle-modified membrane (NPM) can directly convert incoming solar energy into thermal energy in a short time period. In this work, broadband core–shell Ag@TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) having significant larger absorbance were synthesized. Flexible membranes using the deposition of the synthesized NPs were fabricated and floated on the surface of water to enhance the water evaporation. The effects of the density of deposited NPs and the solar irradiance on the evaporation performance were systematically investigated. Results showed that under 5 sun (1 sun = 1 kW/m 2 ) irradiation, the NPM obtained the highest evaporation capacity together with a considerable evaporation efficiency (52.7%) for NPs deposition of 1.0 g/m 2 . In addition, an evaporative efficiency of up to 68.6% was attained under the solar irradiance of 1 sun. On the other hand, most of the heat lost was transferred into the bulk water and gave rise to the enhancement of sensible heat energy, which can be further used in a volumetric absorption type solar collector.
