Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide can convert chemically inert carbon dioxide into useful chemical fuel in a mild manner. Herein, Ag-CdS nanocomposites were prepared by photodeposition method and examined for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction under visible light. Meanwhile, the nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, DRS and PL in detail. The results show that, the deposition of Ag improves the photocatalytic performance of CdS, especially in the selectivity of CO 2 -to-CO. The highest photocatalytic activity is achieved over 1.0 wt.% Ag/CdS, with an increase by 3 times in comparison to CdS. In this reaction system, Ag can serve as electron trap as well as active site for CO 2 reduction, which is probably responsible for the enhanced activity and selectivity of CO 2 to CO over Ag/CdS. The possible mechanism of CO 2 photoreduction over Ag/CdS was proposed in view of the abovementioned analysis.

Purpose A synergistic antibacterial system employing photocatalytic performance and low-temperature photothermal effect (LT-PTT) with the potential for infectious skin wound healing promotion was developed.Methods Ag/Ag2O was synthesized with a two-step method, and its physicochemical properties were characterized. After its photocatalytic performance and photothermal effect were evaluated under 0.5 W/cm2 808 nm NIR laser irradiation, its antibacterial activities in both planktonic and biofilm forms were then studied in vitro targeting Staphylococcus Aureus (S. aureus), and the biocompatibility was tested with L-929 cell lines afterward. Finally, the animal model of dorsal skin wound infection was established on Sprague-Dawley rats and was used to assess infectious wound healing promotion of Ag/Ag2O in vivo.Results Ag/Ag2O showed boosted photocatalytic performance and local temperature accumulation compared with Ag2O when exposed to 0.5 W/cm2 808 nm NIR irradiation, which therefore endowed Ag/Ag2O with the ability to kill pathogens rapidly and cleavage bacterial biofilm in vitro. Furthermore, after treatment with Ag/Ag2O and 0.5 W/cm2 808 nm NIR irradiation, infectious wounds of rats realized skin tissue regeneration from a histochemical level.Conclusion By exhibiting excellent NIR-triggered photocatalytic sterilization ability enhanced by low-temperature photothermal effect, Ag/Ag2O was promising to be a novel, photo-responsive antibacterial agent.

Superhydrophilic/submerged superoleophobic cotton fabrics with antibacterial properties were obtained by loading SiO 2 nanoparticles and Ag + on the surface of cotton fabrics through SiO 2 –Ag + composite sols, followed by the modification of the cotton fabrics with dopamine methacrylamide (DMA) and [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (SBMA). The surface morphology and wettability of the modified fabrics were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG), and contact angle measurement. The underwater contact angle and surface wettability analysis showed that the modified cotton fabric had an underwater oil contact angle of 166.5°. The prepared fabric can be used as an effective medium for the gravity-driven separation of oil/water mixtures. The modified fabrics showed resistance to sparing of vegetable oils or different organic solvents, and the average separation efficiency was better than 93% for all types of oil/water mixtures and up to 97%. In addition, the modified fabrics successfully inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with excellent antimicrobial properties.

Bacterial infection and contamination is a tough problem that generates numerous hazardous factors in areas ranging from human health, clinical to industrial manufacture. Here, an Ag/MoS 2 nanozyme-modified ZnO nanopillar surface was designed and assembled. This nanopillar surface can achieve remarkable antibacterial effects against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli . The obtained nanozyme-modified nanopillar surface demonstrated mechanical antibacterial property with a killing rate of 69.6% and 70.4% to Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli , respectively. Moreover, the surface disables bacteria under H 2 O 2 efficiently, reaching a lethality rate of 89.7% and 98.4% in 30 min, respectively. The superiorities of fast and high lethality rate are owed to a synergistic antibacterial functions consisted of mechanical rupture, enormous ROS generation and silver ions release. Meanwhile, the nanozyme-modified nanopillar surface also shows the surface superhydrophobic property with an antibacterial adhesion rate of over 99.9%. Therefore, the scheme pdresented in this study can provide a potential perspective to solve bacterial infection and contamination in the fields of daily life, clinical and industrial manufacture.

s Ag/AgCl/TiO 2 nanocomposite was synthesized through the combination of sol-gel process and hydrothermal (HT) method followed by ion exchange method in the paper. Transmission electron microscope, UV–vis absorption property and X-ray diffraction were utilized to characterize the morphology, optical absorption property and phase structure of the as-prepared photocatalysts. The morphological and performance studies of Ag/AgCl/TiO 2 revealed that a well-interconnected mixed phase heterojunction photocatalyst was achieved through as-prepared TiO 2 and the subsequent ion exchange method. By the degradation of Rhodamine B under xenon lamp, Ag/AgCl/TiO 2 exhibited a significant enhancement in photocatalytic activity compared with TiO 2 and Ag/TiO 2 . The band gap of Ag/AgCl/TiO 2 can reach to 2.53eV compared with 3.22eV of the prepared TiO 2 . Furthermore, the synthesis process and photoreaction mechanisms of TiO 2 , Ag/TiO 2 and Ag/AgCl/TiO 2 photocatalysts were proposed. It demonstrated that the enhancement of photocatalytic was mainly due to the reducing of electron-hole recombination in Ag/AgCl/TiO 2 .

Trinary g-C 3 N 4 /Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 heterostructures with different Ag content were designed and synthesized by in situ deposition and reduction routes. The photocatalytic performances of these heterostructures were investigated under visible light (λ > 450 nm) and simulated sunlight. Moreover, the influence of Ag content and ratio of each component on the photocatalytic performance of g-C 3 N 4 /Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 was also studied. As a result, the photocatalytic activities of all these g-C 3 N 4 /Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 samples were higher than commercial P25 (TiO 2 ). Moreover, sample S1 (the ratio of g-C 3 N 4 , Ag 3 PO 4 and Ag is 1: 2.52: 0.12) showed the better photocatalytic activities than other g-C 3 N 4 /Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 samples (S2 and S3) and g-C 3 N 4 /Ag 3 PO 4 (1: 3) under the same light irradiation. It indicated that small amount of Ag nanoparticles could improve the photocatalytic performances by compared with g-C 3 N 4 /Ag 3 PO 4 sample. And S1 showed a stable photodegradation after 6 times of cycle experiments under simulated sunlight. The stable and significant superior photocatalytic performance of g-C 3 N 4 /Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 could be attributed to the fast charge separation among g-C 3 N 4 , Ag and Ag 3 PO 4 during the Z -scheme charge transfer and recombination process.

In this paper, we demonstrated the first application of a Co-based porous metal-organic framework (MOF) ZIF-67 as the glucose electrochemical sensor. The ZIF-67 modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) showed an excellent catalytic activity towards glucose oxidation. Meanwhile, to improve the electrocatalytic performance of the modified electrode, a novel Ag@ZIF-67 nanocomposite was fabricated through a sequential deposition-reduction method. The Ag@ZIF-67/GCE exhibited an enhanced catalytic activity towards glucose oxidation. The electrocatalytic performance of Ag@ZIF-67 with different Ag loadings was investigated, and the results indicated that with the Ag contents increasing from 0% to 0.5%, the response time of the modified electrode was shorten by more than two times, and the sensitivity was increased by two times and a half. The Ag-0.5%@ZIF-67GCE exhibited excellent electrocatalytic performances in the glucose concentration range of 2–1000 μM, including a high sensitivity of 0.379 μA μM −1 cm −2 , a low detection limit of 0.66 μM (S/N = 3) as well as good selectivity and stability.

Ag/AgCl-GO composite was fabricated by deposition–precipitation method and photoplasmic reduction method at room temperature. The resulting products were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, Zeta potential and UV–Vis DRS. The results indicated that the samples were composed of Ag, AgCl and graphene oxide (GO). During the photoreduction, the crystallinity of Ag 0 particles gradually increased with prolonging the time of UV irradiation, then remained stable after 90 min. The addition of GO had little effect on the crystal structure of Ag/AgCl, however, this reduced the particle size and enhances the dispersibility of the composite. After 100 min of visible light irradiation, the degradation efficiency of rhodamine B (RhB) reached 98.43%. Therefore, the Ag/AgCl-GO photocatalyst exhibited significant photocatalytic activity during the degradation of RhB under visible light.

An efficient and green approach was used to fabricate novel and low-cost surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy sensors based on 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) functionalized ZnO–Ag hybrid nanoflowers for the detection of explosives. Such SERS sensors exhibited high sensitivity to rhodamine 6G (R6G) at a low concentration of 10−12 M and an enhancement factor of over 4.12 × 106 was achieved. Moreover, the Raman-inactive trinitrotoluene (TNT) initiated the high Raman scattering of non-resonated 4-ATP through the formation of a π-donor–π-acceptor interaction between the π-acceptor, TNT, and the π-donor, the 4-ATP–Ag–ZnO complex, on the flower-like hybrids. Because this π-donor–π-acceptor interaction could effectively induce the “hot spots” for SERS, TNT concentrations as low as 5 × 10−9 M could be detected. Furthermore, other derivatives of TNT were also explored, and this sensor exhibited better selectivity for TNT than other similarly structured explosives. The low-cost hybrid SERS substrates presented good sensitivity and reproducibility for the analytes employed, demonstrating promising application in forensic science and homeland security.

The Ag-Ni-Co alloy coating is prepared in the low eutectic solvent system by pulsed power supply technology. Infrared spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry are used to confirm that the addition of metal salts does not change the low eutectic solvent system. When the current density is 1 A/dm 2 and the plating time is 40 min, the plating grain is mainly spherical; the coating is uniform and dense. After testing, the surface-specific resistance of the plating is only 1.295 mΩ·cm 2 , the microhardness reaches 214.8 HV, and the wear rate reaches 3.1. The corrosion resistance of the plating and the substrate is analyzed by a combination of macroscopic electrochemistry and microarea electrochemistry, and the results show that the corrosion potential of the plating reaches −0.141 V, and the corrosion current density reaches 1.299 × 10 −7 A/cm 2 . The corrosion resistance of the plating is much greater than that of the substrate.

Currently, hybrid noble metal nanostructures have garnered significant interest due to their exceptional properties and diverse applications in fields such as catalysis, energy conversion, plasmonic sensing, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In this work, we report the highly site-specific growth of a single Ag island on both the concave face and the sharp tip of concave Au nanocube (c-AuNC) seeds, resulting in different c-AuNC-Ag Janus heterostructures. This site specificity was achieved by combining the surface curvature effect of the c-AuNCs with strong ligand-mediated interfacial energy control. Further integration of interfacial energy and growth kinetic control led to the formation of c-AuNC-(Ag)n core–satellite structures with varying numbers of Ag satellites. Benefiting from the continuous tunability of the interfacial energy and growth kinetics, the structural evolution of the c-AuNC-Ag hybrid structures continuously occurred, enabling precise control of the Au–Ag bimetallic structures. Notably, the resulting c-AuNC-Ag structures showed tunable intense localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorptions within the 400–1000 nm wavelength along with strong SERS signals. The broad spectral absorption and strong SERS made the c-AuNC-Ag structures promising candidates for SERS and LSPR-based applications, including sensing, imaging, light energy harvesting, and conversion. Moreover, the effective synthetic control demonstrated in this work could facilitate the development of advanced hybrid metal nanomaterials with valuable properties, further broadening their application potential across various fields.

Ag-Rh nanocages are synthesised by a facile method at 190 °C using Ag nanocubes and Na 3 RhCl 6 as sacrificial templates and precursor, respectively. Upon introduction of Na 3 RhCl 6 into Ag nanocube suspension in ethylene glycol (EG) with poly(vinylpyrrolidone), Rh(III) ions are reduced by EG and Ag atoms via galvanic reaction; simultaneously, the released Ag(I) ions are reduced by EG. The reduction and co-deposition of both Ag and Rh atoms result in the formation of highly porous Ag-Rh nanocages when high volume of Na 3 RhCl 6 is introduced. The Ag-Rh nanocages with Ag:Rh atomic ratio of 54.2:45.8 exhibit good catalytic activity toward the degradation of rhodamine 6G, reduction of 4-nitrophenol, and decomposition of hydrazine.
