High sensitivity and fast response dual-band photodetectors (PDs) covering the deep-ultraviolet (DUV) to visible spectrum are highly desired for industrial and scientific applications. Herein, a sandwich-architecture PD covering the range from DUV to visible was prepared by stacking a β -Ga 2 O 3 DUV absorbing layer, interdigitated Au electrodes, and a Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 (CABB) visible absorbing layer. At 5 V bias voltage, the sandwich-architecture PD achieves responsivities of 37.74 mA/W at 240 nm and 0.07 mA/W at 450 nm with microsecond response time, respectively, which is superior to the PDs using monolayer β -Ga 2 O 3 or CABB. Furthermore, it demonstrates self-powered dual-band detection capability with maximum responsivity of 8.13 mA/W. Enhanced performance arises from two synergistic mechanisms: a vertical built-in electric field at the β -Ga 2 O 3 /CABB interface spatially separates photogenerated carriers, while a higher hole mobility in CABB facilitates the charge collection under a lateral bias field between Au electrodes. Importantly, the β -Ga 2 O 3 /Au/CABB PD demonstrates high-resolution images under 240 nm and 450 nm illumination. This work provides a route for developing high-performance DUV-visible dual-band photodetectors, highlighting their potential for advanced multispectral imaging applications.

Fabricating shape-memory materials from natural macromolecules has gained popularity to facilitate the development of bio-friendly smart materials and devices. However, current biobased shape-memory materials have shortcomings, including insufficient mechanical properties and low shape recovery rate in their real applications. Herein, this work aims to develop hierarchically structured keratin-based fibers with high strength and shape-memory properties in response to hydration. The gold nanoparticle is adopted for enhancement in the keratin system, and a well-aligned anisotropic structure with α-helix to the fiber axis is established in the regenerated keratin fibers by wet spinning. The strong crosslinking effect from Au S bonding endows the keratin fibers with outstanding shape-memory performance, exhibiting a shape fixity of ~92 % and a near-full shape recovery rate of ~96 %. In this system, the transition between α and β conformation under external force and water stimulation is assigned as the fundamental mechanism in response to hydration. In hydration and dehydration, the hydrogen bonds act as ‘switches’ that enable deformation, while the strong Au S bonds are ‘net points’ to maintain the original and temporary shapes. This strategy can promote metal nanomaterial anchoring as a methodology for fabricating shape-memory protein-based fibers with excellent mechanical properties and shape-memory performance.

Graphical Just a bit of gold : The Ni 3 N−Au c −TiO 2 catalyst exhibits a better hydrogen evolution rate under full band light irradiation as compared to those of binary Ni 3 N−TiO 2 and Au c −TiO 2 . The amount of Au c is ultralow (0.00025 wt%) with Ni 3 N in the optimum photocatalyst Ni 3 N−Au c −TiO 2 , which shows the loading of noble metal is reduced by 99.95 wt% compared with the optimal load of Pt (0.5 wt%). Platinum (Pt) is a widely used co-catalyst with excellent performance for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. However, it is not suitable for industrial production because of its prohibitive cost. Currently, there are two means to overcome this challenge. One is to, find alternative cocatalysts for Pt. The other is to develop ultrasmall of noble metal clusters, which reduces the amount of noble metal loading required. This reduces the loading amount of noble metals and improves their atomic efficiency. In this work, we have integrated both these approaches to generate a non-noble metal co-catalyst nickel nitride (Ni 3 N) and Au clusters (Au c ). The composite cocatalyst (Ni 3 N−Au c ) thus obtained promotes photocatalytic hydrogen production of TiO 2 . The (Ni 3 N−Au c −TiO 2 ) composite with an ultralow amount of Au c (0.00025 wt%) shows photocatalytic hydrogen production rates that are even higher than that of Pt−TiO 2 . The loading requirement of noble metal is reduced by 99.95 wt% compared to the optimal load of Pt; further indicating the cost efficiency possible through this method.

Heterogeneous nanostructures hold substantial promise in many fields including energy conversion and catalysis, and their functionality is largely determined by the interactive surface features of respective architectural components. Herein, we report the facile preparation of a Pt–Au heterogeneous nanostructure, which as a model exhibits not only the enhanced electrocatalysis for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR), but also an unprecedented activity for formic acid oxidation (FAO). Further, selective under-potential deposition coupled with CO adsorption is employed to probe the electrocatalytic mechanism of the Pt–Au heterogeneous nanostructure. The electronic effect is clarified for the ORR and EOR mechanisms on the Pt–Au nanostructure. A synergetic mechanism in that Pt ruptures the C–H bond of HCOOH and Au converts the resulted −COOH into CO2 is revealed for FAO. This strategy provides a versatile and powerful tool for the selective surface engineering and in-depth analysis of the functionalizing mechanism of heterogeneous nanostructures.

The temperature dependent synthesis and plasmonic optical properties of Ag coated Au nanocubes have been investigated experimentally. It has been found that the Au nanocubes with more uniform morphology and higher yield could be obtained by decreasing the growth temperature. Because of the non-spherical symmetry of the particles shape and the plasmon coupling between Au–Ag interface and outer Ag surface, four absorption peaks at most have been observed. As the Ag coating thickness is increased, the absorbance intensity of these plasmon peaks gets intense greatly, and the absorption peak at longest wavelength blue shifts firstly and then red shifts. The non-monotonous plasmonic shift has been attributed to the competition between the increase of Ag composition and the enlargement of the particle size. What's more, the wavelength region of both blue shift and red shift could also be enhanced by decreasing the temperature.

The first gemini-type benzimidazole ionic liquid ([C4-6-C4BIm]Br2) with two sites of action was synthesized and applied for gold extraction. The effects of [C4-6-C4BIm]Br2 concentration, initial gold(III) concentration, acidity, and the loading capacity of [C4-6-C4BIm]Br2 were examined in detail. It was found that [C4-6-C4BIm]Br2 has excellent extraction ability for obtaining high purity gold. The anion exchange mechanism between [C4-6-C4BIm]Br2 and Au(III) was proved by Job's method and 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. Quantum chemical calculations were carried out to prove the mechanism theoretically. The extraction equilibrium process was modeled using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔG and ΔS indicated that the extraction process was exothermic and spontaneous. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model well fitted the experimental data (R = 0.99). In addition, [C4-6-C4BIm]Br2 has high selectivity for Au(III) compared to other base metals. In summary, [C4-6-C4BIm]Br2 has great application prospects in industry due to its excellent characteristics such as low cost, easy availability, and high extraction capacity.

A Au-Ga alloy layer is synthesized on a Au sheet substrate at low temperature and a new nanoporous Au material is then prepared based on Ga removal from the Au-Ga alloy by a electrochemical method. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms that the grains of the newly formed Au layer are refined and scanning electron microscopy suggests that the newly formed Au layer has a nanoporous structure with a pore size of∼16 nm. The cyclic voltammetry curve of the prepared nanoporous Au in a 1 M KCl solution presents a square structure of a supercapacitor with a specific capacitance of mF·cm-2, which is 86 times that of the smooth Au electrode. The 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) modified nanoporous Au material is used as a Raman substrate to detect Hg2+ with surface-enhanced Raman scattering. from 1.0×10−10 mol·L-1 to 1.0×10−5 mol·L-1), and the limit of detection is 1.0×10−10 mol·L-1.

The high-yield synthesis of the biofuel γ-valerolactone (GVL) is a challenging task, which currently stems from the depolymerization of cellulose to levulinic acid, followed by its hydrogenation. We have developed a novel integrated process for the production of GVL from hemicellulose without using liquid acids and external hydrogen. The hemicellulose feed underwent hydrolysis and consecutive dehydration to produce furfural over ZSM-5 catalyst. Subsequently, the formed furfural with 2-propanol performed tandem conversion to GVL over Au/ZrO2 catalyst combined with ZSM-5. This process gave a high yield of GVL under mild conditions: up to 61.5% based on hemicellulose. The outstanding performance was mainly ascribed to the strong interface interaction of Au with ZrO2 species, large amounts of medium-strength acid sites over ZSM-5, and efficient synergy between active metal and acid sites.

A carbon nitride/graphene composite is synthesized in one step by calcining graphene oxide and melamine. Given that the surface of the carbon nitride is rich in amino groups, the composite material formed by its combination with graphene considerably increases the active sites and enhances the electrical conductivity. Au nanoparticles are ultrasonically added to a carbonitride/graphene composite to form Au NPs/carbon nitride/graphene composites (Au/C3N4/GN) with three-dimensional nanostructures. The introduction of Au nanoparticles makes the Au/C3N4/GN composites more sensitive and accurate for the detection of small molecules. To test the electrochemical properties of the composites, chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin were detected by Au NPs/carbon nitride/graphene-modified electrodes (Au/C3N4/GN/GCE), and satisfactory results were obtained. Under optimized experimental conditions, the detection limits of Au/C3N4/GN/GCE for chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin were 2.7 × 10−8 M and 4.2 × 10−7 M, and the linear ranges of detection were 0.7–120 μM and 0.6–120 μM respectively. In addition, the electrochemical sensor was successfully used for quantitative determination of chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin in milk samples, which clearly revealed its practical feasibility in food analysis.

Photogenerated charge separation is a challenging step in semiconductor-based photosynthesis. Though numerous efforts have been devoted to developing multi-component photocatalyst heterostructures for improving charge separation efficiency, the short distance between electrons and holes-aggregated regions still leads to undesirable charge recombination. Herein, a facile and commercial in-situ synthesis method was designed to directly prepare a three-component Au–carbon–TiO 2 photocatalyst from Ti 3 C 2 MXene , air, CO 2 , and HAuCl 4 , in which the carbon layer bridged Au and TiO 2 nanoparticles for stable and efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production. Kelvin probe measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that a multi-interfacial charge transmission network was successfully constructed to achieve a directional and long-distance spatial charge separation/transfer channel between TiO 2 and Au through carbon layer, desirably inhibiting the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. The hydrogen production rate of the formed three-component Au/C–TiO 2 (CTA) photocatalyst was demonstrated to be 27 times higher than that of Au–TiO 2 , which also surpassed many reported Ti 3 C 2 MXene-derived carbon–TiO 2 photocatalysts. This work sheds light on the ingenious use of 2D MXene to form a well-behaved TiO 2 -based photocatalytic system and helps to propose future design principles in accelerating charge transfer.

Magnetic Au/Fe 3 O 4 /poly(styrene-sodium styrene sulphonate) composite microspheres (Au/Fe 3 O 4 /P(St-NaSS) CMs) were successfully prepared via a gamma-radiation method. Au and Fe 3 O 4 were formed at the same time under irradiation and well dispersed on uniform P(St-NaSS) microspheres. The as-prepared CMs exhibit good catalytic properties and recyclable performances for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The kinetic rate constants are 8.75 × 10 −3 s −1 and 7.71 × 10 −3 s −1 for two samples, respectively. The conversion rate of 4-NP can keep about 95% with catalysts after five cycles. They exhibit good magnetic behavior and have saturation magnetization value of about 9 emu g −1 , which can be easily separated from the solution under external magnetic field. This strategy is efficient and facile, which can be extended to fabricate other CMs.

Synergistic therapy of tumor has attracted the attention of an increasing number of researchers because of its higher efficiency compared to single therapy. Herein, 4-carboxyphenyl porphyrin-conjugated silica-coated gold nanorods (AuNR@SiO2-TCPP) were synthesized. The synergistic treatment of photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy on A549 cancer was researched in vivo and in vitro. In the AuNR@SiO2-TCPP, Au NRs and TCPP act as photothermal agent and photosensitizer, respectively. The temperature of the AuNR@SiO2-TCPP (0.11 nmol L−1) rises to 56.8 °C for 10 min under the illumination of 808 nm laser (2 Wcm−2). In MTT assays, the viability of A549 cancer cell treated with AuNR@SiO2-TCPP (100 μg ml−1) is only 21%. In animal experiments, the relative tumor volumes in mice receiving AuNR@SiO2-TCPP (5 mg kg−1) with 660 and 808 nm irradiations were significantly inhibited and the average value is decreased to 0.78 while the average value of the control group is increased to 7.2. These results demonstrate that the AuNR@SiO2-TCPP is a potential nanomedicine against tumor for clinical application in the near future.
