Titanium dioxide photocatalysts can break down pollutants using natural light. They possess notable light stability, chemical stability, and catalytic effects, thus leading to extensive research worldwide. However, the limited light absorption range of titanium dioxide and their inefficiencies in generating and transporting photogenerated carriers hinder the enhancement of their photocatalytic performance. In this study, we employ a femtosecond laser composite processing method to create an Ag-TiO2nanoplate composite catalyst. This method doubles the catalytic efficiency compared with the structure processed solely with the femtosecond laser. The resulting Ag-TiO2nanoplate composite catalysts show significant promise for addressing environmental and energy challenges, including the photodegradation of organic pollutants.Keywords:femtosecond laser;hierarchical micro-/nanostructures;photocatalyst;titanium dioxide

Surface coating technology is an effective anti-corrosion strategy which can form a layer of anti-corrosion film on metal surface , effectively preventing it from oxidation and corrosion. Among various strategies, silanization treatment of metals is the most commonly used one. However, using silane-based coatings alone often leads to poor anti-corrosion performance due to insufficient mechanical strength and presence of surface defects . In order to improve the corrosion resistance of silane coatings, a hybrid surface coating has been constructed by introducing epoxy resin and Ag/TiO 2 nanoparticles into the silane film in this work. After adding epoxy resin, the thickness of the silane film greatly increases, which improves its mechanical properties . Ag/TiO 2 nanoparticles can enhance the cross-linking between silane molecules and epoxy resin, thereby preventing formation of surface defects. The epoxy resin-silane-Ag/TiO 2 composite surface coating is coated on the surface of AA2024 aluminum alloy using spin coating method. Electrochemical and salt spray tests indicate excellent corrosion resistance performance of the composite coating . This composite coating technology may have potential applications on the surfaces of various metal products such as medical devices and aerospace materials, and will shed light on the development of new surface coating technologies.

The composite of hydrogels and noble metal nanoparticles has wide applications in the field of functional materials . In this paper, we developed a novel and green strategy to synthesize a kind of composite hydrogel microspheres containing silver nanoparticles and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) modified sodium alginate (β-CD@SA@Ag) without use of strong reducing reagent. First, β-CD was chemical linked to SA by epichlorohydrin (ECH) to form the β-CD modified polymer (β-CD@SA). then AgNO 3 was added to the as-prepared polymer solution , in which silver nanoparticles were formed by the reducing power of β-CD units. Subsequently, by reversed-phase emulsion method and ionic cross-linking, a kind of β-CD@SA@Ag hydrogel microspheres were obtained. The structure and morphology of the composite material were characterized in detail by Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Test data indicated that silver nanoparticles evenly dispersed in the composite material. On the basis, the adsorption and catalytic performances of the β-CD@SA@Ag hydrogel microspheres were studied towards to the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds. Research results showed that the β-CD@SA@Ag hydrogel microspheres had excellent catalytic activity along with high environmental adaptability. whether in pure water, tap water or river water, aromatic nitro compounds can be completely reduced within 2–13 min. Moreover, the morphology of microspheres of the composite material endows the composite material with high stability and reusability. We believe that our work would provide a new idea for the green synthesis of organic-inorganic composite functional materials .

Eutectic gallium–indium alloy (EGaIn) is a biocompatible liquid metal, promising for wearable electronics. Through functionalization and formation of composites, EGaIn-based materials have shown potential in multifunctional sensing devices. Here, egg-shell EGaIn/Ag/ZnO ternary composite particles were prepared through an ultrasound-assisted displacement reaction combined with room-temperature hydrolysis. The composite was further constructed as a wearable sensor capable of both pressure and proximity detection. For pressure sensing, due to the decrease in the Young’s modulus of the egg-shell structure and the presence of the electrical double layers between Ag and ZnO, which enriched surface charges, the sensor showed excellent sensitivity at low pressures (2.17 KPa–1, <0.4 KPa) and thus the ability to sense body movements. For proximity sensing, the composite sensor was able to detect approaching objects that were up to 20 cm away. By combining and fitting the sensing curves for both the touchless and touching modes, the extracted parameters were used to create fingerprints for different objects, demonstrating the great potential of our sensor in the differentiation and identification of unknown objects for future robotics and artificial intelligence.

Dopamine was used to modify polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in order to obtain functional polydopamine (PDA) surface-modified PTFE microporous film (PTFE@PDA). Ag was deposited on the surface of PTFE@PDA using electroless plating in order to obtain Ag-wrapped PTFE@PDA film (PTFE@Ag). A liquid-phase chemical reduction method was employed to prepare nickel nanochains. A Ni@PVDF cast film was obtained by mechanically blended nickel nanochains and polyimide (PVDF). The above two films were hot pressed to give a flexible, ultra-thin, and highly effective electromagnetic shielding composite film with a “3+2” layered structure. IR, XRD, and TEM results showed the PTFE@PDA film surface was coated by a tight plating layer of Ag particles with a particle size of 100~200 nm. PTFE@Ag+Ni@PVDF composite film exhibited excellent electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, with the conductivity of 7507.5 S/cm and the shielding effectiveness of 69.03 dB in the X-band range. After a 2000-cycle bending, this value still remained at 51.90 dB. Furthermore, the composite film presented excellent tensile strength of 62.1 MPa. It has great potential for applications in flexible and wearable intelligent devices.Keywords:electromagnetic shielding;Ag;PTFE;composite film

In this study, we have fabricated a dual-signal sensor for H2O2 determination based on 2D Cu-MOFs decorated with Ag NPs. A novel polydopamine (PDA) reduction method was utilized to reduce [Ag(NH3)2]+ to highly dispersed Ag NPs in situ without other reductive agents, and Cu-MOF@PDA-Ag was obtained. For the electrochemical sensor, the Cu-MOF@PDA-Ag modified electrode exhibits outstanding electrocatalytic properties toward H2O2 reduction with a high sensitivity of 103.7 μA mM−1 cm−2, a wide linear range from 1 μM to 35 mM and a low detection limit of 2.3 μM (S/N = 3). Moreover, the proposed sensor shows good feasibility in an orange juice sample. For the colorimetric sensor, colorless 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) can be oxidized by the Cu-MOF@PDA-Ag composite in the presence of H2O2. A Cu-MOF@PDA-Ag catalysis-based colorimetric platform is further established for the quantitative analysis of H2O2 ranging from 0 to 1 mM with a lower detection limit of 0.5 nM. Importantly, such a dual-signal method for the detection of H2O2 could potentially have wide practical applications.

In this study, La 0.7 Ag 0.3- x K x MnO 3 (LAKMO, x = 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, and 0.19) films with excellent electrical properties and low surface roughness were prepared on SrTiO 3 ( 0 0 1 ) substrates using the spin-coating method. The crystal structures and ion valence states of the LAKMO films were modified by adjusting the doping amounts of Ag and K. The Jahn–Teller effect and electron–lattice coupling were enhanced with the MnO 6 octahedron undergoes distortion. Moreover, the double-exchange interaction was improved with an increase in the number of Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ ion pairs. Under the influence of these factors, the electrical transport properties especially the temperature coefficient of resistivity ( TCR ) of the LAKMO films can be refined modulated or optimized via A-site Ag and K co-doping. When x = 0.17, the maximum TCR of LAKMO reached 11.23 % K −1 at 293.23 K. Thus, La 0.7 Ag 0.13 K 0.17 MnO 3 film with a large TCR exhibited excellent thermal properties at room temperature and was considered material for application to uncooled infrared bolometers.

Interfacial solar steam generation is considered the next-generation desalination and sewage treatment technology. However, realizing solar evaporators with broad-spectrum absorption, efficient thermal conversion, and high stability remains a challenge. The high light-trapping surface structure and fast water transport channels of the evaporator improve the evaporation efficiency, and solar evaporators have great potential in the field of solar steam generation. Herein, the mixture of transition-metal carbide (Ti3C2Tx) and core–shell Ag–SiO2 nanoparticles (Ag@SiO2 NPs) is fabricated as a three-dimensional (3D) vertical porous Ti3C2Tx/Ag@SiO2 gel evaporator via ice templating technology. The synergistic interaction between dual Ti3C2Tx–Ag plasma materials confined in a cross-linked microcapillary structure realizes 97.6% wide absorption in the wavelength range of 250–2500 nm. The SiO2 coating on the surface of Ag NPs can inhibit the oxidation of Ag NPs and conduct heat collection management. The 3D vertically cross-linked porous structure promotes efficient water transport and improves the mechanical strength of the evaporator. The Ti3C2Tx/Ag@SiO2 gel evaporator exhibits a high evaporation rate of 1.42 kg m–2 h–1 and a photothermal conversion efficiency of 98% under 1 sun illumination. The Ti3C2Tx/Ag@SiO2 gel evaporator shows great application prospects in seawater desalination and sewage purification.

Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to value-added solar fuels is of great significance to alleviate the severe environmental and energy crisis. Herein, we report the construction of a synergistic silver nanoparticle catalyst with adjacent atomic cobalt–silver dual-metal sites on P-doped carbon nitride (Co1Ag(1+n)–PCN) for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The optimized photocatalyst achieves a high CO formation rate of 46.82 μmol gcat–1 with 70.1% selectivity in solid–liquid mode without sacrificial agents, which is 2.68 and 2.18-fold compared to that of exclusive silver single-atom (Ag1–CN) and cobalt–silver dual-metal site (Co1Ag1–PCN) photocatalysts, respectively. The closely integrated in situ experiments and density functional theory calculations unravel that the electronic metal–support interactions (EMSIs) of Ag nanoparticles with adjacent Ag–N2C2 and Co–N6–P single-atom sites promote the adsorption of CO2* and COOH* intermediates to form CO and CH4, as well as boost the enrichment and transfer of photoexcited electrons. Moreover, the atomically dispersed dual-metal Co–Ag SA sites serve as the fast-electron-transfer channel while Ag nanoparticles act as the electron acceptor to enrich and separate more photogenerated electrons. This work provides a general platform to delicately design high-performance synergistic catalysts for highly efficient solar energy conversion.

The presence of antibiotics such as Tetracycline (TC) in the water environment poses new challenges to traditional water treatment technologies . Simple and clean electrocatalytic technology has been widely used in the degradation of antibiotic-based wastewater. In this study, agarose (AG) was loaded onto ITO using an impregnation method, and Pd was deposited onto the AG/ITO electrode by electrodeposition , the Pd/AG/ITO composite electrode was prepared. The electrode was then observed and analyzed using SEM , XRD , FT-IR, and XPS . The optimal conditions for the electrocatalytic reaction were explored as follows: PdCl 2 concentration of 0.20 mmol/L, PdCl 2 deposition current of 3 mA, deposition time of 10 min, and degradation current of 8 mA. Under these optimal working conditions, the Pd/AG/ITO composite electrode achieved a degradation efficiency of 85.21% within 120 min. Through five replications, the degradation efficiency of the electrodes decreased by less than 3.50%, which indicated its good reusability and stability. Based on the generation of active substances during degradation and the analysis of LC-MS, potential degradation products , and degradation pathways were deduced, and it was proposed that the degradation of TC was completed by a synchronous redox reaction co-led by·OH and H*. Toxicity analysis of TC and its degradation products was performed using ECOSAR software. This study will promise to provide an effective method of degrading TC wastewater.

A novel [email protected] 5 O 7 I/Bi(OH) 3 (AB) heterojunction was prepared and the enhanced photocatalytic antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) under visible light excitation was exhibited. 3 %AB (containing 3 wt% of Ag) presented best photocatalytic performance, and all of E. coli cells were inactivated within 5 min under natural solar light irradiation. The photocatalytic antibacterial mechanism of AB heterojunction was corroborated by SEM, live/dead cell staining and SDS-PAGE assay. The destruction of the cell membrane, the leakage of the intracellular protein and the decomposition of the protein were considered as the events occurred in the antibacterial process. The radical capture experiment confirmed that •O 2 – and e – played the dominant role in the destruction of the cell membrane and the decomposition of the protein. The improvement of the photocatalytic activity can be mainly ascribe to the construction of heterojunction, SPR effect resulted from Ag deposition, enhanced visible light absorption and more surface oxygen vacancies. These factors are advantageous to the generation of the photogenerated electrons and holes, and improve the spatial separation efficiency of the photogenerated charge. This study presented a promising [email protected] 5 O 7 I/Bi(OH) 3 heterojunction as the photocatalyst for the potential application in the treatment of the bacterial contamination.
