Plasmonic noble metal has been applied in photocatalytic materials, and TiO2 with plasmonic noble metal has been studied for a long time. In this work, we have fabricated incomplete covered Au/Ag alloy nanoshuttle-TiO2 nanomaterials with 268.7 μmol g−1 h−1 H2-evolution in a simple solution method. The considerable photocatalytic performance is mainly due to the enhanced surface plasmon resonance effect of Au/Ag alloy nanoshuttles. It has been found that TiO2 clusters attached to the Au/Ag nanoshuttles surface migrate under electrons irradiation and cover the exposed Au/Ag NS surface to achieve thermodynamic stability, which results in instability of photocatalytic performance. The mechanism has been discussed in detail.

In this work, a novel SERS sensor was obtained by choosing PVC as the carrier, the pre-prepared Ag NPs were dispersed to PVC casting solution though solvent casting method for fabrication of transparent, flexible and tough SERS substrate (Ag NPs/PVC membrane, APM). Meanwhile, considering the complexity of actual detection environment, the APM surface was covered with imprinted layer by using atom transfer radical polymerization to form the specific recognition sites of target analyte on the membrane surface to achieve the selective detection of norfloxacin. Worth mentioning at this work was the SERS-MIMs sensor (APM-MIMs) we obtained can realize undifferentiated detection either top or bottom sides, which relative standard deviation (RSD) were 12.1% and 5.9% respectively. Sensitive detection of norfloxacin was achieved on the scale of 10 −5 to 10 −9 M in standard solutions, which SERS intensity at 1595 cm −1 revealed excellent linear relationship with solution concentration, and the correlation coefficient was 0.9986. The APM-MIMs prepared by simple methods could be used as a potential SERS substrate to detect trace substances.

The logic device demultiplexer can convey a single input signal into one of multiple output channels. The choice of the output channel is controlled by a selector. Several molecules and biomolecules have been used to mimic the function of a demultiplexer. However, the practical application of logic devices still remains a big challenge. Herein, we design and construct an intelligent 1:2 demultiplexer as a theranostic device based on azobenzene (azo)-modified and DNA/Ag cluster-gated nanovehicles. The configuration of azo and the conformation of the DNA ensemble can be regulated by light irradiation and pH, respectively. The demultiplexer which uses light as the input and acid as the selector can emit red fluorescence or a release drug under different conditions. Depending on different cells, the intelligent logic device can select the mode of cellular imaging in healthy cells or tumor therapy in tumor cells. The study incorporates the logic gate with the theranostic device, paving the way for tangible applications of logic gates in the future.

In this report, Ag@Cu yolk–shell nanostructures have been synthesized through a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. The synthesis is based on the use of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as both the reducing agent and solvent, in the presence of the polymer poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). The structure and composition of the yolk–shell nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). To study the formation process of the Ag@Cu yolk–shell nanostructures, the samples obtained at various stages of the growth process were studied by TEM and XRD, and a rational growth mechanism for the Ag@Cu yolk–shell nanostructures was proposed. The as-prepared Ag@Cu yolk–shell nanostructures were used to construct non-enzymatic glucose sensors. The detecting results show that the designed sensors have well-defined, stable and fast amperometric responses to glucose.

Single-atom dispersed Ag modified mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (Ag/mpg-C 3 N 4 ) hybrid was synthesized by co-condensation method and employed as a visible light photocatalyst. In the presence of peroxymonosulfate (PMS), Ag/mpg-C 3 N 4 showed excellent performance for the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). 100% BPA and 80% TOC could be removed with 0.1 g/L catalyst and 1 mM PMS under visible light (λ > 400 nm) within 60 min. The reason for the enhanced performance is possibly due to the synergistic effect of single-atom Ag and mpg-C 3 N 4 . On the one hand, more visible light could be captured with the introduction of Ag; on the other hand, the existence of PMS promotes the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Electron spin resonance (ESR) and free radicals quenching experiment suggest that the major reactive oxygen species (ROS) are sulfate radical (SO 4 − ), superoxide radicals (O 2 − ) and photogenerated holes, while the role of hydroxyl radicals ( OH) is insignificant in this process. The findings of this work highlighted the great potential of g-C 3 N 4 as photocatalysts and elucidated a new opportunity for PMS remediation of contaminated water.

Cataluminescence as a highly efficient gas transduction principle has attracted wide attention among research in environmental monitoring and clinical diagnosis with increasing awareness of human safety. Nowadays, the development of innovation sensing systems and the construction of the sensing mechanism to improve the analytical performance of compounds remain a major challenge. Herein, we construct an advanced photoinduced thermocatalytic chemiluminescence (PI-TC-CL) gas-sensing system via the introduction of a Z-scheme heterojunction Ag3PO4/Ag/Bi4Ti3O12 to achieve higher efficient detection of H2S. The unique electron transport path of the Z-scheme heterojunction and the LSPR effect of Ag nanoparticles fascinate the generation of the photoinduced electron–hole pair on the surface of catalysts when stimulated by LED lamps and slow down the recombination of electron–hole pairs under thermal conditions. Thus, based on the cooperative effect of the Z-scheme heterojunction AgPO/Ag/BTO and PI-TC-CL system, we have successfully established an efficient H2S CTL detection system, which has a response three times higher than that on the traditional CTL system and even 45 times higher than that on BTO and ranges among the best of the state-of-the-art CTL performance in H2S detection with the linear range of 0.095–8.87 μg mL–1 and a limit of detection of 0.0065 μg mL–1. Besides, to explore the gas-sensing mechanism, the synergetic effects of photoinduction and thermal catalysis are investigated thoroughly via conductivity and electrochemical experiments. This research provides a new perspective of engineering highly efficient catalysts and ingenious sensor systems through designing the nanostructure of materials and synergism catalytic mechanism.

In this paper, nano-Ag coated eggplant-based biological porous carbon (BPC) was used as the support material to load PEG to solve the problem of leakage and low thermal conductivity of phase change material (PCM). A series of support materials (caky BPC, caky BPC@Ag, BPC powders, BPC@Ag powders) were prepared. The results show that the shape-stabilized PCM (ss-PCM) obtained by caky BPC had better anti-leakage ability. The thermal conductivity of the support material coated with nano-Ag particles was increased by 40.9 % compared with the uncoated support material. After ten thermal cycles, the composite ss-PCM (ss-CPCM) remained to exhibited excellent thermal reliability, which indicated that the ss-CPCM supported by nano-Ag coated BPC had excellent potential in practical application. In addition, BPC@Ag improved the light-to-heat conversion rate and had more application prospects. In addition, BPC had a high photo-thermal conversion efficiency, and BPC@Ag further improved the photo-thermal conversion.

Fabrication of efficient heterogeneous catalysts with high turnover frequency (TOF) is intriguing for rapid and scalable CO 2 conversion under mild conditions, but it still faces some challenges due to use of some bulky and irregular supports causing inaccessible inner pores and insufficient utilization of active sites. Herein, using a unique nitrogen-doped mesoporous single-crystal carbon (named IRFC) as a host for loading Ag nanoparticles for the first time, a series of Ag/IRFC catalysts with high TOF (8.7–22.3 h −1 ) were facilely prepared by a novel “impregnation and in-situ reduction” strategy. The neat morphology and high porosity of IRFC with abundant N species, providing homogeneous surface, adequate space and anchoring sites for Ag immobilization, greatly facilitated the formation of highly-distributed ultrasmall Ag nanoparticles (2.3 nm). Meanwhile, smooth and short diffusion pathways were inherited from the ordered mesopores and small particle sizes of IRFC. Owing to these unparalleled structural features, the Ag/IRFC catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic activity, stability, and generality for mild CO 2 conversion even under diluted conditions. This work not only presents a novel catalyst for mild CO 2 conversion, but also brings some inspirations to designing highly efficient catalysts using well-shaped supporting nanomaterials for direct utilization of low-concentration CO 2 , such as flue gas.

Though the catalytic oxidation of CO, NO and soot over CeO 2 could be understood within a similar Mars-van Krevelen-type mechanism, these reactions were likely to be driven by different active phases. In this work, several CeO 2 and Ag/CeO 2 nanorods with different contents of surface oxygen vacancies (V O-s ) and active oxygen species (O x − ) were designed as model catalysts. Their catalytic performance indicated that, CO oxidation was determined by pre-existing ceria V O-s , while O x − participated in NO and soot oxidation directly. Besides, by loading silver onto the high-temperature aged CeO 2 nanorods, Ag/CeO 2 catalysts with high availability of ceria lattice oxygen were obtained, whose low-temperature oxidation activity was proven comparable to that of the platinum catalysts. In this sense, the model designing in this work not only provided methods to find out proper reactivity descriptors, but also conferred low-cost catalysts with high practical potential.

Due to slow kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) during discharging and charging processes, it is essential to rationally design and synthesize non-precious metal bifunctional electrocatalysts with good performance for metal-air batteries. Herein, Ag-MnFe2O4heterojunction nanoparticles supported on N, S, P-codoped graphene (NSPG) are developed with enhanced ORR and OER bifunctional electrocatalytic activities and stability. In contrast, S, P-doped graphene (SPG) and N, P-doped graphene (NPG) show less stabilization for the heterojunction particles. For example, under alkaline conditions, the ORR half-wave potential of Ag-MnFe2O4/NSPG can reach 0.831 V, and the over potential for OER is 0.56 V at the current density 10 mA·cm−2. Furthermore, Ag-MnFe2O4/NSPG shows better methanol resistance and durability than Pt/C catalysts.

Ag/CuO nanofibers (Nfs) with a diameter of 650 nm were successfully prepared via electrospinning Ag doped CuO nanofibers and then calcined at 450°C for 2 hours. By using Ag/CuO Nfs and PEDOT:PSS as the hole transport layer, an optimum perovskite solar cell power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11.6% was achieved, which was 33% higher than that of the original perovskite solar cells (8.7%). The devices showed a high PCE because of the high cavity mobility of the Ag/CuO Nfs/PEDOT:PSS films. At the same time, the Ag/CuO Nfs could also slow down the hydrolysis and corrosion of the perovskite by acidic PEDOT:PSS, and increase the environmental stability of the solar cells.

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.
