SERS measurements for monitoring bactericides in dairy products are highly desired for food safety problems. However, the complicated preparation process of SERS substrates greatly impedes the promotion of SERS . Here, we propose acoustofluidic one-step synthesis of Ag nanoparticles on paper substrates for SERS detection. Our method is economical, fast, simple, and eco-friendly. We adopted laser cutting to cut out appropriate paper shapes, and aldehydes were simultaneously produced at the cutting edge in the pyrolysis of cellulose by laser which were leveraged as the reducing reagent. In the synthesis, only 5 μL of Ag precursor was added to complete the reaction, and no reducing agent was used. Our recently developed acoustofluidic device was employed to intensely mix Ag + ions and aldehydes and spread the reduced Ag nanoparticles over the substrate. The SERS substrate was fabricated in 1 step and 3 min. The standard R6G solution measurement demonstrated the excellent signal and prominent uniformity of the fabricated SERS substrates. SERS detection of the safe concentration of three bactericides , including tetracycline hydrochloride , thiabendazole , and malachite green, from food samples can be achieved using fabricated substrates. We take the least cost, time, reagents, and steps to fabricate the SERS substrate with satisfying performance. Our work has an extraodinary meaning for the green preparation and large-scale application of SERS.

Ag-Deposited Pitch-Based Carbon Fiber/Silicone Composites With Enhanced Thermal Conductivity Through Reducing Interfacial Thermal Resistance

Jingbo Shen,Yakai Feng

Thermal interface materials are crucial for the thermal management of modern electronic devices. The thermal conductivity of polymer-based composites, as the widely used thermal interface materials, is still limited by the high interfacial thermal resistance between the polymer matrix and the filler. Herein, pitch-based carbon fibers co-modified with silane coupling agent and Ag nanoparticles were developed and used as thermally conductive fillers to prepare silicone composites with the purpose of improving interfacial compatibility and reducing interfacial thermal resistance. Under scanning electron microscope observation, the modified carbon fibers dispersed uniformly, and they were adhered to by a number of Ag nanoparticles. The thermal conductivity of the silicone composite with a 20 wt% filling amount of modified carbon fibers reached up to 1.624 W m −1 K −1 , which was 1.46 times higher than that of the unmodified carbon fiber filled silicone composite. The silicone composite with a 20 wt% filling amount of modified carbon fibers also exhibited a relatively high heat transfer rate and excellent mechanical properties. The electrical insulation and dielectric properties of silicone composites filled with modified carbon fibers also satisfied the requirements for the use of thermal interface materials. This approach provided an effective strategy for the development of thermal interface materials with high thermal conductivity in the thermal management field.

Peilin Wu,Jiwen Fan,Yunze Tai,Xun He,Dongdong Zheng,Yongchao Yao,Shengjun Sun,Binwu Ying,Yao Luo,Wenchuang Hu,Xuping Sun,Yi Li

Developing an accurate, cost-effective, reliable, and stable glucose detection sensor for the food industry poses a significant yet challenging endeavor. Herein, we present a silver nanoparticle-decorated titanium dioxide nanoribbon array on titanium plate (Ag@TiO 2 /TP) as an efficient electrode for non-enzymatic glucose detection in alkaline environments. Electrochemical evaluations of the Ag@TiO 2 /TP electrode reveal a broad linear response range (0.001 mM - 4 mM), high sensitivity (19,106 and 4264 μA mM −1  cm −2 ), rapid response time (6 s), and a notably low detection limit (0.18 μM, S/N = 3). Moreover, its efficacy in measuring glucose in beverage samples shows its practical applicability. The impressive performance and structural benefits of the Ag@TiO 2 /TP electrode highlight its potential in advancing electrochemical sensors for small molecule detection.

Ag Nanoparticles Supported on h-BN/BiPO4 Heterostructures as a Photocatalyst for the Degradation of Rhodamine B

Yuting Li,Jiaming Song,Xin Zhao,Bingda Li,Zhuo Wang,Juanjuan Yang,Guoshuai Ban,Feng Teng,Jialong Ma,Chaoying Meng,Honggang Ye,Guangde Chen,Zhonghua Dai,Yu Cong

With increasing environmental pollution, the utilization of green techniques, such as photocatalysis, is required to degrade harmful sources without secondary pollution. In this study, we synthesized an efficient photocatalyst, i.e., a h-BN/BiPO4 heterostructure modified by Ag nanoparticles at the interface (Ag/BN/BPO) by photodeposition and a hydrothermal method, and investigated photocatalytic degradation performance for rhodamine B dye (RhB). It was found that 95% of RhB was removed by Ag/BN/BPO (optimal ratio) after 60 min of light exposure. Compared to BiPO4 and BN/BiPO4, the removal efficiency was improved by 50 and 30%, respectively. The high photocatalytic degradation activity of Ag/BN/BPO could be possibly attributed to the synergistic effect of the improved separation efficiency of electron–hole pairs by the special heterostructure design and the increased adsorption capacity due to the large specific surface area of the layered h-BN. This study provided a possible route for the development of highly efficient photocatalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants.

Ag-enhanced MOF-based electrochemical biosensor for sensitive detection of uracil-DNA glycosylase activity in cellular systems

Ruyue Cong,Kaiyue Hu,Dandan Hu,Jingran Sun,Jinglu Yao,Zhiyong Guo,Sui Wang,Yufang Hu

The detection of UDG activity is essential for understanding DNA damage repair mechanisms, assessing cellular genetic stability, and advancing diagnostics and treatments for related diseases. An advanced electrochemical biosensor based on a silver-enhanced copper metal–organic framework (Ag@Cu-MOF) has been developed for the sensitive and selective detection of uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) activity in cellular environments. This design incorporates a prism substrate to stabilize the liquid phase on the electrode surface, with DNA probes immobilized on the prism surface. Upon UDG-catalyzed uracil excision, the probe undergoes structural changes, initiating a cascade reaction. The abundance of free DNA ends facilitates the approach of MOF materials to the electrode interface, creating a stable environment conducive to H 2 O 2 reduction, thereby amplifying the electrochemical signal. Comparative catalytic analyses revealed that the Ag@Cu-MOF-modified electrode, with its enhanced conductivity and high surface area, achieved efficient catalysis compared to Cu-MOF. The biosensor exhibited a linear response to UDG concentrations ranging from 0.00002 to 0.5 U/mL, with an impressively low detection limit of 0.00002 U/mL, highlighting its capability for quantitative analysis. The sensor demonstrated high selectivity, minimal interference from other biomolecules, and stable performance across multiple cycles, underscoring its robustness. Furthermore, UDG activity was successfully detected at varying cell densities and under hypoxic conditions, providing valuable insights into cellular DNA repair mechanisms and responses to stress. In summary, the Ag@Cu-MOF-based biosensor offers a promising platform for detecting UDG activity in cancer diagnostics and cellular research, with potential applications in monitoring DNA repair activities under both physiological and pathological conditions.

Ag–Cr2O3 interfaces with local alkaline microenvironments for electroreduction of CO2 to CO in an acidic electrolyte

Ling-Ling Wang,Lei Bian,Hao Tian,Shi-Ze Liu,Ke-Xin Li,Xin Wang,Zhong-Li Wang

Electrochemical CO 2 reduction in acidic electrolyte is a potential strategy for efficient CO 2 utilization by preventing the formation of carbonate, but it remains a great challenge to improve the selectivity of CO 2 reduction in acidic electrolytes due to the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction . Herein, we demonstrate Ag 2 CrO 4 derived Ag–Cr 2 O 3 composite catalyst with local alkaline microenvironments for enhanced selectivity of CO 2 to CO product in an acidic KCl electrolyte. Under the electrochemical reduction of CO 2 , the Ag 2 CrO 4 pre-catalyst undergoes a chemical transformation induced by chloride ions to generate AgCl–Cr 2 O 3 , meanwhile, AgCl is electrochemically reduced Ag to form a Cr 2 O 3 coated Ag composite catalyst with rich Ag–Cr 2 O 3 interfaces. The Ag–Cr 2 O 3 gas diffusion electrode constructed from carbon nanopowder effectively increases the hydrophobicity of the electrode, and the optimized electrode exhibits high CO Faradaic efficiency (FE) (over 75%) at a wide current density of 50–300 mA cm -2 and achieves a maximum FE of 86.7% toward CO product at 300 mA cm -2 . The in situ Raman spectroscopy reveals that Cr 2 O 3 can adsorb OH − which regulates the local alkaline environment to promote the CO 2 adsorption on the Ag–Cr 2 O 3 interface and stabilize the *CO 2 - /*COOH intermediates in the acidic electrolyte. This work provides an effective strategy to tune the reaction interfaces for CO 2 reduction in acidic electrolytes.

Alloying strategy for developing a single-band warm white emitting material Cs2NaGdCl6:Bi3+via Ag+ co-doping

Qianrong Jin,Jinrong Shi,Jianwei Jin,Wenli Xu,Suqin Chen,Yuexiao Pan

Efficient and versatile materials that are both non-toxic and environmentally sustainable have become paramount in our pursuit of greener and more durable illumination solutions. In this study, we investigated the optical properties of rare-earth-based all-inorganic perovskite (AIP) crystal Cs2NaGdCl6 (CNGC) with various substitutions to explore its potential applications in lighting devices. The primitive crystal CNGC exhibits intrinsic blue emission due to its self-trapped excitons (STEs) but singly-doping with Bi3+ ions results in weak blue emission, indicating quenching of the STE emission. Alloying by introducing Ag+ ions into the CNGC:Bi3+ lattice, replacing the Na+ ions, caused the disruption of the crystal field symmetry, which lifts the parity-forbidden selection rule and allows for s–p transitions of the Bi3+ ions. Thus, the co-doping with Ag+ ions in addition to Bi3+ leads to intense broad-band warm white emission covering a wide spectral range of 470–800 nm, with a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 4512 K and a color rendering index (CRI) of 79. The findings from this study provide valuable insights for the development of efficient and high-quality lighting devices using a simple technique.

Micro-Ag particle interlayer with high dislocation density for sintered-joining of Al2O3 and AlN in air

Naiqiang Wang,Xiaoqing Si,Baiqi Zhang,Jianwei Gao,Mingsheng Li,Tong Lin,Rui Li,Chun Li,Junlei Qi,Jian Cao

A novel sintered-joining of Al 2 O 3 and AlN is achieved for the first time using micro-Ag particle interlayers in air. In comparison with reactive air brazing , this method addresses the issue of reduced strength caused by air holes in brazed joints . Also, this sintered-joining method can be performed at a lower temperature (920 °C), improving the joint strength by relieving the residual stresses. The sintering effect of micro-Ag particles and their high density of dislocations promote the recovery and recrystallization of the Ag interlayer, as well as the interdiffusion of Ag and ceramic. Ag–O clusters formed at the interface can be embedded into oxygen vacancies on the ceramic surface, playing a key role in interfacial joining. By optimizing joining temperature, assembly pressure and holding time, a maximum joint shear strength of 85.2 MPa is achieved at 920 °C for 30 min with an assembly pressure of 1 MPa. This study successfully prepares Al 2 O 3 /AlN joints with excellent mechanical properties, providing a reliable foundation for the fabrication of power integrated circuits with efficient operation.

Bimetallic-ZIFs derived quaternary amorphous LDHs decorated with crystalline Ag nanoparticles for highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction

Xiaodong Yang,Feifei Peng,Longfei Zhang,Xiang Wang,Shulin Liu,Wei Yang,Luhong Zhang,Na Yang

Amorphous LDHs materials have been considered promising electrocatalysts for OER since their abundant coordination sites but still undergo poor stability. It is an efficient strategy to rationally architect amorphous/crystalline hybrid nanostructures on the ZIFs-derived amorphous LDH counterparts. Herein, we provide a facile two-step method to fabricate crystalline Ag NPs decorated amorphous QLDHs (Ag/QLDHs) nanosheet arrays on the Ni foam through ions exchange and spontaneous redox reaction. Based on the multi-metal synergetic effects (Co, Zn, Fe, Ni) and regulation of Ag nanoparticles (NPs), the as-formed Ag/QLDHs with heterogeneously hierarchal structures exhibit excellent OER performance with a low overpotential of 216 and 247 mV under 10 and 100 mA cm −2 in 1 M KOH, respectively, together with highly structural robustness. Through using the in situ-Raman spectroscopy, we reveal that the Ag NPs play the important role in enhancing the oxidation state of Ni and Fe species in Ag/QLDHs, which facilitates the generation of active MO x (OH) y at a much lower potential. The synthesized approach proposed in this work will supply a promising pathway for constructing amorphous/crystalline hybrid structures applied to alkaline water oxidation.

Pd-Decorated Cu2O–Ag Catalyst Promoting CO2 Electroreduction to C2H4 by Optimizing CO Intermediate Adsorption and Hydrogenation

Xianbin Xu,Difei Xiao,Yugang Gao,Wenbo Li,Miaomiao Gao,Shuang Zhao,Zeyan Wang,Zhaoke Zheng,Peng Wang,Hefeng Cheng,Yuanyuan Liu,Ying Dai,Baibiao Huang

Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to high value-added products, such as ethylene (C2H4), offers a promising approach to achieve carbon neutrality. Although recent studies have reported that a tandem catalyst (for example, Cu–Ag systems) exhibits advantage in C2H4 production, its practical application is largely inhibited by the following: (1) a traditional tandem catalyst cannot effectively stabilize the *CO intermediate, resulting in sluggish C–C coupling, and (2) inadequate H2O activation ability hinders the hydrogenation of intermediates. To break through the above bottleneck, herein, palladium (Pd) was introduced into Cu2O–Ag, a typical conventional tandem catalyst, to construct a Cu2O–Pd–Ag ternary catalyst. Extensive experiment and density functional theory calculation prove that Pd can efficiently stabilize the *CO intermediate and promote the H2O activation, which contributes to the C–C coupling and intermediate hydrogenation, the key steps in the conversion of CO2 to C2H4. Beneficial to the efficient synergy of Cu2O, Pd, and Ag, the optimal Cu2O–Pd–Ag ternary catalyst achieves CO2RR toward C2H4 with a faradaic efficiency of 63.2% at −1.2 VRHE, which is higher than that achieved by Cu2O–Ag and most of other reported catalysts. This work is a fruitful exploration of a rare ternary catalyst, providing a new route for constructing an efficient CO2RR electrocatalyst.

Zejia Li,Shude Zhang,Ping Liang,Chi Zhang,Tao Li,Zhenbao Zhang,Mingming Wang,Zongping Shao,Shaomin Liu

Recent extreme weather events emphasize the urgent need for climate action, necessitating a shift from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects offer a viable solution, particularly those employing Oxyfuel combustion. Oxygen transport membranes via mixed ionic and electronic conducting (MIEC) principles are envisaged to improve the viability of Oxyfuel combustion projects by providing a cost-effective method for oxygen separation. This paper explores the performance enhancement of Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 Co 0.8 Fe 0.2 O 3–δ (BSCF) perovskite membranes, typically known for high oxygen flux but suffering from low stability. A universal strategy employing a facile Ag doping method is investigated. The Ag-doped BSCF (BSCF–2%Ag) membranes exhibit improved stability and oxygen permeation behavior compared to their undoped counterparts. The structural and compositional analyses confirm the successful incorporation of Ag into the BSCF lattice, not only playing the role as the sintering aid but also inhibiting Sr segregation and enhancing operational stability. Long-term permeation tests demonstrate the sustained performance of BSCF-2%Ag membrane, showcasing a 31.2% improvement in oxygen flux at 800 °C. The proposed Ag doping strategy offers a promising pathway for simultaneously enhancing the stability and flux of Co-perovskite membranes, which is crucial for advancing CCS technologies.
