A scalable strategy is proposed for preparing ultra-flexible transparent heaters (THs) with ZnO-Ag core–shell nanowires (ZnO@Ag NWs) embedded in polyvinylidene fluoride composite films. The obtained THs exhibit a high average transmittance of 85.8% in the visible spectral range and excellent heating performance. The maximum saturation temperature can reach 153 °C within 10 s at an input voltage of 4.0 V. Furthermore, the saturation temperature of THs has not changed significantly after 1000 bending cycles with a curvature radius of 0.5 mm, demonstrating excellent mechanical flexibility. In particular, the THs possess environmental endurance, and no significant deterioration in performance can be found after exposure to high humidity (relative humidity: 85%) and ultraviolet ozone (254 and 185 nm) irradiation for 10 h, which is attributed to the protective role provided by the covering of ZnO shells on the Ag NWs. These outstanding parameters make the fabricated THs to be promising for application in wearable systems, medical thermotherapy pads and industrial defrosters.

Objective Nanoparticles constructed with silver/manganese dioxide (Ag@MnO2) as the core, in conjunction with survivin siRNA (sis) and cyclo(RGD-DPhe-K) (Ag@MnO2-sis-c-L), were prepared for integrated tumor diagnosis and therapy.Methods Ag@MnO2-sis-c-L particles were prepared and characterized. The silver and manganese content were determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The stability of sis in the system was evaluated by incubation with 50% FBS before the agarose gel electrophoresis experiment. The in vitro photothermal conversion ability, cytotoxicity to 4T1 cells, and cellular uptake of preparations were evaluated. The dialysis technique was employed to determine the in vitro release profile of Ag and Mn from Ag@MnO2-sis-c-L under various pH conditions. The pharmacokinetic behavior and tissue distribution of silver in vivo were detected by ICP-OES. Animal model experiments were conducted to further evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy of Ag@MnO2-sis-c-L against breast cancer in combination with infrared irradiation.Results Our newly synthesized Ag@MnO2-sis-c-L nanoparticles displayed superior physicochemical properties. The combined application of these nanoparticles with photothermal therapy (PTT) exerted the strongest synergistic inhibitory effects on tumor growth. Survivin protein expression in tumor tissues were markedly suppressed following delivery of nanoparticles loaded with sis. Additionally, magnetic resonance imaging revealed the high imaging capability of hybrid nanoparticles.Conclusion This study supports the potential utility of Ag@MnO2-sis-c-L coupled with PTT in therapeutic and diagnostic imaging applications.

The development of sensitive and accurate detection of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) and pyrophosphatase activity (PPase) is important as they play vital roles in biological systems. However, it is still not satisfactory for most of the analytical methods for PPi and PPase because of their Cu2+-dependence and poor accuracy. Although the metal ion triggered aggregation-induced emission (AIE) of metal nanoclusters (NCs) offers a new approach to design a Cu2+-free strategy for the accurate determination of PPi and PPase recently, current methods are all focused on utilizing pure metal NCs. Alloy NCs incorporating the advantages of diverse metal usually can achieve improved behaviors in the application, such as enhanced sensitivity and stability. In this work, glutathione stabilized alloy Au/Ag NCs were synthesized via a simple method and used for the fluorescence detection of PPi and PPase based on a Zn2+-regulated AIE strategy. The controlled release of Zn2+ by PPi and PPase could regulate the AIE of Au/Ag NCs and be employed to response PPi concentration and PPase activity. This method processes simple procedure, high sensitivity and stability, and low toxicity. In addition, we also studied the AIE behaviors of this Au/Ag NCs and offer some fundamental understanding of the AIE properties of water-soluble alloy NCs. This study not only provides a straightforward and new approach for PPi and PPase determination but a basis for further study on the AIE properties of alloy NCs and their application.

The use of transition metals as bifunctional catalysts for rechargeable zinc-air batteries has recently attracted much attention. Due to their multiple chemical valence states, the cobalt oxides are considered to be promising catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this work, bifunctional Ag-decorated Co3O4-nitrogen doped porous carbon composite (Co3O4-NC&Ag) catalysts were synthesized by annealing ZIF-67 in N2and O2, respectively, followed by Ag deposition using chemical bath deposition. Due to the decoration of Ag nanoparticles and high specific surface area (46.9 m2g−1), the electrochemical activity of Co3O4increased significantly. The optimized Co3O4-NC&Ag catalysts possessed superior ORR performance with a half-wave potential of 0.84 V (vs. RHE) and OER activity with an overpotential of 349 mV at 10 mA cm−2. The open circuit voltage of the Co3O4-NC&Ag-based zinc-air battery was 1.423 V. Meanwhile, the power density reached 198 mW cm−2with a specific discharge capacity of 770 mAh g−1at 10 mA cm−2, which was higher than that of Pt/C-based zinc-air battery (160 mW cm−2and 705 mAh g−1). At a current density of 10 mA cm−2, the charge-discharge performance was stable for 120 h (360 cycles), exhibiting better long-term stability than the Pt/C&RuO2counterpart.Keywords:zinc air battery;Co3O4;bifunctional catalysts;silver decoration

Membrane technology is one of the most promising technologies for wastewater remedy. However, it remains challenging to prepare high-performance membrane matrix for complex pollutants, e.g. containing both oil and organic dye. In this work, we facilely fabricate a cellulose-fiber-supported MOF photocatalytic membrane, namely Ag@AgCl@MIL-100(Fe)/CCF, which was prepared via carboxymethylation of cotton fabric (CCF) as scaffold and in-situ synthesis of MOF derivative as photocatalyst. The carboxymethylation significantly improves the hydrophilicity of cotton fabric and the deposition amount of MIL-100(Fe). The high hydrophilicity of modified CCF and porous MIL-100(Fe) further enable the membrane with an efficient adsorption capacity of dyes and underwater oleophobicity against oils. The photocatalysts Ag@AgCl nanoparticles anchored onto MIL-100(Fe) promote the photocatalytic activity. As a result, the membrane shows simultaneous high removal efficiency towards dyes (97.3 %) and oils (99.64 %). Additionally, thanks to the good photocatalytic activity against organic pollutants, the membrane exhibits excellent self-cleaning and a long-term reuse capacity.

Rational design of semiconductor membrane photocatalyst with good mechanical flexibility and excellent photocatalytic activity is of significance for environmental remediation. Herein, flexible Ag@ZnO/TiO 2 fibrous membranes with hierarchical nanostructures were fabricated through combining a simple electrospinning method and subsequent hydrothermal reaction and photodeposition process. In the ternary nanocomposite, ZnO nanorods were firmly anchored onto TiO 2 nanofibers , while Ag nanoparticles were evenly decorated on the surface of both ZnO and TiO 2 . Benefiting from the improved light absorption, large surface area, and effective charge separation, the resultant Ag@ZnO/TiO 2 membranes displayed superior photocatalytic degradation efficiency of 91.6% toward tetracycline hydrochloride within 1 h, and also exhibited prominent antibacterial activity with a 6.5 log inactivation of E. coli after 1 h simulated solar light exposure. Significantly, the membrane photocatalyst still preserved structural integrity and mechanical flexibility after utilization. This study provides an alternative approach for designing and synthesizing flexible TiO 2 -based membrane photocatalysts toward high-efficiency water purification.

Fenton-like catalysts represent a family of promising materials to degrade micropollutants from contaminated water . However, the practical applications of Fenton-like catalysts are mainly limited by low catalytic degradation efficiency and stability. Herein, for the first time, rapid fabrication of Ag-decorated Fe 3 O 4 /polydopamine ( FPA ) microspheres was achieved via the help of UV irradiation, and the designed FPA microspheres were employed as Fenton-like catalysts to degrade micropollutants. Results showed that UV irradiation could activate the generation of the polydopamine shell and accelerate the Ag deposition, which played a crucial role in the rapid synthesis of highly active and stable FPA catalysts. Relative to reported catalysts, these FPA microspheres exhibited outstanding catalytic degradation performance, achieving 94.38% removal of tetracycline within 60 min. This work will provide a convenient strategy in the sustainable and efficient purification of wastewater to improve the quality of human life.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were decorated on the electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/polyethyleneimine (PEI) nanofibers by electrostatic adsorption in order to prepare Ag@PVA/PEI SERS substrate. The morphology and chemical structure analysis show that the metal Ag NPs are decorated on the PVA/PEI nanofibers surface uniformly. The lowest distinguishable level of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) is 10 −6 M of Ag@PVA/PEI nanofibers SERS substrate. It exhibits remarkable enhancement effect (EF = 1.4 × 10 5 ), good reproducibility (RSD = 9.5%). By the investigations of Raman spectra analysis, the Ag@PVA/PEI nanofibers substrate presented high sensitivity in the detection of enrofloxacin. Therefore, it facilitates a simple, direct, in-situ method for enrofloxacin residue detection on an irregular prawn surface. Graphical abstract

Although silver phosphate (Ag 3 PO 4 ) exhibits high quantum efficiency and intriguing photocatalytic ability, its poor light stability limits its wide application. Herein, structurally stable and porous Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 /reduced graphene oxide microspheres are fabricated with electrostatic spraying, freezing, lyophilizing and crosslinking and used for the first time to remove toxic Cr(VI) ions with high efficiency and durability. Polydopamine serves as both moderate reductant and effective linker for Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 components to distribute well on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets with controlled Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 ratios, endowing the porous microspheres with fast transfer of electrons and enhanced structural stability. Both the heterogeneous junctions of Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 and the conductive rGO sheets accelerate the electron transfer from Ag 3 PO 4 to Ag and rGO, decrease the recombination of electrons and holes and enhance the light stability of Ag 3 PO 4 . In addition, both the photogenerated electrons of Ag 3 PO 4 and the π electrons on rGO sheets reduce Cr(VI). The resulting porous microspheres deliver an excellent visible light photocatalytic efficiency of 0.62 mg min −1 g −1 (quantum yield of 2.37%) for reduction of Cr(VI) under the light intensity of 800 mW cm −2 , and a high removal efficiency of more than 90% of Cr(VI) over 30 h under a continuous photocatalytic removal system. These outstanding performances make the structurally stable and porous microspheres promising for continuous removal of Cr(VI) ions.

Photothermal reforming of biomass-derived hydrocarbons is an efficient approach to generate renewable hydrogen driven by solar. However, the current understanding of the general thermal effect on hydrogen production is limited since the photothermal and thermal radiation from solar is difficult to separate. Herein, an experimental study is carried out by synthesizing a series of photothermal catalysts composed of Ag nanoparticles supported on TiO 2 nanoflake (TNF). The structure of the Ag/TNF was examined by XRD , XPS , and HRTEM , respectively. The local temperature rise of the Ag/TNF was detected during the photothermal reforming reaction of the aqueous bio-glycerol, and its influence on H 2 yield was analyzed. By introducing different weight ratios of Ag nanoparticles on TNF, the equilibrium temperature was obviously increased due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect and dynamic balance between LSPR and heat dissipation was found. It was observed that increasing the weight ratio of Ag particles could result in an increased temperature and lower hydrogen yields. In fact, such photothermal reforming hydrogen production was a synergistic effect between photogenerated-electrons and phonons. Therefore, precisely regulating the photothermal effect by controlling the metal nanoparticles loading to achieve proper thermal balance and high catalytic activity is one effective countermeasure to enhance hydrogen production.

High-performance adsorbents have been well-studied for the removal of organic dye pollutants to promote environment remediation. In this study, an Ag nanoparticle-functionalized Fe 3 O 4 -PDA nanocomposite adsorbent (PDA-Fe 3 O 4 -Ag) was synthesized, and the adsorption/separation performance of commonly used cationic and anionic organic dyes by the PDA-Fe 3 O 4 -Ag adsorbent were assessed. Overall, PDA-Fe 3 O 4 -Ag exhibited a significantly higher adsorption capacity for cationic dyes compared to anionic dyes, the highest of which was more than 110.0 mg/g (methylene blue (MB)), which was much higher than not only the adsorption capacities of the anionic dyes in this study but also other dye adsorption capacities reported in the literature. The dye adsorption kinetics data fitted well to both the pseudo second-order kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm model, suggesting a monolayer-chemisorption-dominated adsorption mode. Thermodynamics analysis indicated that the adsorption process was both endothermic and spontaneous. Furthermore, the PDA-Fe 3 O 4 -Ag adsorbent achieved high photodegradation removal rates of the dyes, especially neutral red (NR) and methyl orange (MO), which were 91.2% and 87.5%, respectively. With the addition of PDA-Fe 3 O 4 -Ag, the degradation rate constants of NR and MO increased from 0.08 × 10 −2 and 0 min −1 to 2.11 × 10 −2 and 1.73 × 10 −2 min −1 , respectively. The high adsorption and photocatalytic degradation performance of the PDA-Fe 3 O 4 -Ag adsorbent make it an excellent candidate for removing cationic and anionic dyes from the industrial effluents.

We have synthesized water dispersible CdTe quantum dots (QDs) in different sizes and with various capping reagents, and have studied the effects of their size on the sensitivity and selectivity in the fluorometric determination of metal ions, particularly of silver(I). It is found that an increase in the particle size of homocysteine-capped CdTe QDs from 1.7 nm to 3.3 nm and to 3.7 nm enhances both the sensitivity and selectivity of the determination of Ag(I) to give an ultimate limit of detection as low as 8.3 nM. This effect can partially be explained by the better passivation of surface traps on smaller sized QDs via adsorption of Ag(I), thereby decreasing the apparent detection efficiency. In addition, the presence of CdS in the CdTe QDs is likely to play a role. The study demonstrates that an improvement in sensing performance is accomplished by using QDs of fine-tuned particle sizes. Such effects are likely also to occur with other QD-based optical probes.
Improvement of sensing performance by the use of quantum dots based fluorescent probes can be achieved through tuning their particle sizes and should be considered as an important factor in developing relevant probes.
