For the efficient removal of radioactive iodide ions from medium and low radioactive contaminated water, an Ag-doped adsorbent was designed via radiation grafting method and chemical modification and applied based on the solid–liquid adsorption method. The silver loading content in the adsorbents could be flexibly decided by adjusting the sulfhydryl content. SEM/EDS, ATR, XPS, and XRD characterization methods were used to determine the features of the new adsorbents. With the silver content 67.9 mg/g and 125.6 mg/g in the adsorbents PGM25%-Ag + and PGM220%-Ag + respectively, the maximum I − adsorption capacities were varied at 29.92 mg/g and 100.82 mg/g. In wide pH conditions (pH7-11), PGM25%-Ag + was sufficient to achieve 131 I removal efficiency of over 92 %, and the removal efficiency was almost unaffected in the coexistence of high concentration (10 mmol/L) of anions and complex real contaminated seawater, highlighting the applicability and selectivity of the adsorbent. The adsorption behavior conformed to the Langmuir isothermal model and pseudo-second-order kinetics model. XPS analysis confirmed that excellent adsorption capacity and selectivity were attributed to the chemical adsorption mechanism of ion exchange and complexation occurs between I − and Ag on the solid–liquid interface, where AgI precipitation formed. In addition, the Ag + -doping adsorbent withstood the harsh conditions of 200 kGy irradiation by observing the ATR structure, thermal stability, and 131 I removal property. This study provides a feasible solution for the treatment of low and medium-radioactive contaminated seawater.

The deposition of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on different substrates is promising in antibacterial applications. But it is limited by the aggregation problem and complex deposition procedure of Ag NPs. Herein, facile fabrication of antibacterial substrates with controllable deposition of Ag NPs via polyphenol reduction strategy is presented. Polyphenol with surface independent coating property is used to in situ deposit Ag NPs on diverse substrates (e.g., cotton textile, copper foil, steel sheet, iron sheet, glass slide, rubber and plastic sheet) via the reduction of Ag + . The modified substrate shows several unique properties, including high color maintenance (4.7 % change from the original), sustained and pH-responsive Ag + release behavior (about 40–10 % of Ag + ions at pH values of 4–8 at day 9, respectively), large diameters of inhibition zones (over 1 cm) and low minimum inhibitory concentrations (0.1 mg mL –1 ). The continuous contamination tests (5 cycles with the almost same effectiveness) and long-term stability analysis (over 25 days) manifest excellent recycling performance and stable antibacterial benefits. Finally, the results of practical applications on mask, shoe-pad and fresh box materials show that all the modified materials inhibited E. coli and S. aureus by more than 95 %. This work provides a versatile interfacial polyphenol reduction strategy for depositing Ag nanoparticles on various substrates. Such Ag-deposited product could be used for packaging and clothing sanitation.

Developing efficient and sensitive techniques for detecting ofloxacin (OFL) residues is crucial for ensuring food safety and environmental protection. In this study, the electropolymerization method was utilized with polypyrrole (Ppy) as the functional monomer and OFL as the template to produce a molecularly imprinted composite material comprising silver (Ag) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) (MIP-Ag/g-C 3 N 4 /GCE) for the electrochemical detection of OFL. The electrochemical characterization was conducted using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Under the optimal conditions, the prepared sensor demonstrated decent sensitivity and selectivity using the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique. The sensor demonstrated an optimal linear range of 10 −13 to 10 −11 mol L −1 , with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 8.842×10 −14 mol L −1 and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 2.947×10 −13 mol L −1 , which can successfully detect OFL in milk and honey samples, showing a recovery range of 97.38–104.00 %, and 99.45–102.00 %, with relative standard deviations (RSD) below 2.82 % and 2.16 % (n=5), respectively. The sensor exhibited high selectivity, high stability, and decent reproducibility in OFL determination. This study offers valuable insights into the application of semiconductor-based electrochemical sensors, opening new possibilities for the field and contributing to the improvement of food safety and environmental protection.

Using Ag-CoFe 2 O 4 -GO nanocomposite as biosensor interface, a novel unlabelled electrochemical immunosensor was designed to detect tumour marker carcinoembryonic antigen. Here, Ag-CoFe2O4-GO was synthesized by one-pot method as an immunological probe. They have the following advantages: (1) Silver nanoparticles have a strong redox capacity under applied voltage and good biocompatibility, so they can bind more antibodies; (2) GO has a large specific surface area, which can load more Ag NPs and CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles, and has excellent conductivity; (3) CoFe 2 O 4 is widely favoured by researchers due to its advantages such as low production cost and simple preparation process, The prepared Ag-CoFe 2 O 4 -GO nanocomposite can amplify the electrochemical signal; (4) The presence of GO can effectively prevent the agglomeration of Ag NPs nanoparticles and CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles, promote the formation of electron transfer network, and contribute to the electron transfer of sensors. Under optimal condition, the current signal and the concentration of carcinoembryonic antigen were linear in the range of 1 pg mL < sp > −1 < /sp > ∼ 80 ng mL < sp > −1 < /sp , > and the detection limit was 0.3 pg mL < sp > −1 < /sp > (S/N = 3). Under certain conditions, the manufactured immunosensor has good reproducibility, selectivity and excellent stability. Thus it has certain clinical value for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen.

A mild catalytic protocol for aldehyde, amine, and alkyne coupling (A 3 -coupling) allows for the selective synthesis of propargyl amines using 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole-derived N-heterocyclic carbene (BNHC) silver(I) catalysts. A series of BNHC Ag(Ⅰ) halide complexes were synthesized and their structures have been elucidated through the use of multinuclear NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the pseudo-linear geometry of two different compounds was substantiated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Silver-based A 3 -coupling was achieved for both acyclic and cyclic secondary amines using a diverse set of alkynes to afford propargyl amines with yields of up to 95 %. The present approach is environmentally benign and water is generated as the sole byproduct.

Developing an efficient catalyst for H2 generation from hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB) in a controllable and sustainable way is a prerequisite to implementing H2 as an alternative energy vector. To meet this requirement, the present work designs and constructs a potential Ag@Pd core–shell catalyst, in which the plasmonic Ag nanocube core acts as a light absorber and the ultrathin Pd shell as the actively catalytic site. First, the core–shell structure of the prepared Ag@Pd samples is characterized and confirmed by an electron microscope and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Then their catalytic performances for AB hydrolysis are investigated and compared with Ag nanocubes under the light on/off condition and at different temperatures. The results show that the H2 generation rate on Ag@Pd is greatly enhanced, which is found to benefit from the reduced activation energy under light illumination. Further investigation of wavelength-dependent performance verifies the plasmon-driven nature of the Ag@Pd catalysts. The subsequent optical simulation using the finite element method indicates that the absorbed light energy is instead preferential to dissipate into the nonplasmonic but catalytic Pd site when the Pd shell coats on the plasmonic Ag nanocube. This leads to the concentration of energetic charge carriers in the outer Pd shell and thus the much higher catalytic efficiency of Ag@Pd core–shell catalyst than its single compartment for breaking down the N–B bond of AB to produce H2 gas.

Detecting γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the mammalian body is vital for diagnosing neurological disorders. Here, we introduced a novel SERS sensor based on metal-semiconductor heterojunction ZnO/Cu@Ag substrate for highly sensitive detecting GABA molecules. The ZnO/Cu@Ag substrate fully leverages the electromagnetic field enhancement effect and the chemical enhancement effect of metal-semiconductors heterojunction, exhibiting an excellent enhancement factor of 2.23 × 10 6 and a low limit-of-detection (LOD) of 3.84 nM for GABA molecules in water. Moreover, the ZnO/Cu@Ag substrate could recognize 10 nM GABA molecules in human serum. This GABA SERS sensor provides a reliable tool and technological support for research and applications in neuroscience and medicine.

In this study, a new adsorbent denoted as nAg/nZVI/AC was developed using activated carbon (AC) loaded with nanosized zero-valent iron (nZVI) and nanosilver (nAg). Then, the adsorption and degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in aqueous solutions using nAg/nZVI/AC was examined. At pH 3.8, the adsorbed amount of TCH on nAg/nZVI/AC was 191.18 mg/g, which is 78.95 mg/g higher than that adsorbed on the pristine AC support. The adsorption process could be explained adequately using the Freundlich (R 2 = 0.9641) and pseudo-second-order kinetic models (R 2 = 0.9967). Thermodynamic analyses revealed that TCH removal is a spontaneous chemisorption-dominated process. Free-radical-quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic studies revealed that hydroxyl (·OH) and superoxide (·O 2 − ) radicals are the main species involved in the degradation of TCH. Finally, the intermediates generated during the degradation were examined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and possible deterioration pathways are proposed.

The design of a sensing material for detecting isopropanol gas with low operating temperature is extremely important for miniaturization and wearability of gas sensors. Herein, a novel gas sensor based on SnO 2 -Carbon nanosphere heterojunctions decorated with Ag nanoparticles (SCA) was fabricated and its gas sensing performance was evaluated and compared systematically. The measurement results indicated that the sensing performance was influenced by the ratio of Sn/C and the length of Ag plating, and the SCA sensor provided the best response. For 100 ppm isopropanol at 100 °C, the SCA sensor exhibited a response value of 50.51, a response time of 7 s and a recovery time of 60 s. The enhanced sensing performance and reduced operating temperature of the SCA could be attributed to the synergistic effect of the SnO 2 -Carbon nanosphere heterojunctions and the significant catalytic performance of the decorated Ag nanoparticles. In addition, the density functional theory calculation method based on the first-principles theory was used to study the adsorption performance and electronic behavior, as well as the influence of Ag decoration on SnO 2 for isopropanol detection. The calculated results were consistent with the experimental results.

Flexible sensors are promising candidates in personalized healthcare, while desired sensors that allow implantation for biomedical applications with optimal sensing and favorable biological properties remain challenges. Here, a multifunctional hydrogel sensor was developed with gallic acid-modified chitosan (CSGA) and 3-carboxyphenylboronic acid-modified chitosan (CSPBA) by encapsulating Ag-decorated polydopamine (Ag@PDA) nanoparticles, namely Ag@PDA-(CSPBA/CSGA). The optimized hydrogel sensor showed desired sensitivity (gauge factor = 2.49), a rapid response/recovery time of 263 ms and good durability. Due to the presence of abundant reactive groups within Ag@PDA-(CSPBA/CSGA), the hydrogel sensor exhibited a comprehensive performance of self-healing, tissue adhesiveness, antioxidative activity, and antibacterial effects against Escherichia coli (92.76%) and Staphylococcus aureus (98.08%). Moreover, the hydrogel sensor could be utilized as a wound dressing, facilitating accelerated wound closure and tissue regeneration. Both subtle activities and large-scale movements could be monitored and distinguished by the hydrogel sensor. This study provides a promising epidermal sensor that offers multifunctionality for health monitoring and wound management.

This study reports an effective process to prepare holey carbon nanotubes (hCNTs) through a catalytic oxidation reaction under the assistance of Ag nanoparticles. The improved specific surface area and oxygenic functional groups generated during the perforating process endowed hCNTs with highly improved capacitance. Besides, micro-supercapacitors based on hCNTs delivered a specific capacitance of 59.2 mF/cm2 at 0.3 mA/cm2, more than twice that of the 23.8 mF/cm2 for MWCNTs, which is among the best values compared to results reported in the literature.

Objective Streptococcus mutans ( S. mutans ), the main pathogen of dental caries, could be well killed by Ag/ZnO nanocomposite. However, effects on virulence factors remain to be elucidated. This study investigated effects of Ag/ZnO at sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) on virulence factors of S. mutans and related genes expressions. Design Effects of Ag/ZnO on the growth of S. mutans was investigated by growth curves and MTT staining method. The influence of Ag/ZnO at sub-MICs on biofilm formation was measured by the crystal violet staining method and observed by a scanning electron microscopy. Adherence, cell-surface hydrophobicity, acidogenicity and extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) of S. mutans after treatment by Ag/ZnO at sub-MICs were also investigated. Virulence factors related genes expressions after treated by Ag/ZnO at 1/2 MIC was conducted by the quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) method. Results Sub-MICs of Ag/ZnO exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition on the virulence factors of S. mutans . Specially, Ag/ZnO at 1/2 MIC decreased 69.00 % biofilm formation, 31.78 % sucrose-independent and 48.08 % sucrose-dependent adherence, 69.44 % cell-surface hydrophobicity and 72.45 % water-soluble and 90.60 % water-insoluble EPS. Furthermore, the expression of virulence factors related genes was significantly suppressed by Ag/ZnO at 1/2 MIC. Conclusions Ag/ZnO at sub-MICs inhibited multiple virulence factors of S. mutans through downregulating the related genes. Ag/ZnO nanocomposite could be used for prevention of dental caries at low dosage.
