A detection method for 17β-estradiol (E2) using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based aptamer sensor was presented. Raman reporter molecule Cy3 labeled E2-aptamer and DNA functionalized gold-silver core-shell nanoparticles ( [email protected] CS NPs) offered SERS with high sensitivity and selectivity . Based on the fabricated double strand DNA-immobilized gold-silver core-shell nanoparticles ( [email protected] NPs), SERS signal intensity of Raman reporter changed with the number of Cy3-labeled aptamer attached to the core-shell nanoparticles due to the strong binding affinity between the aptamers and E2 with different concentrations. A wide linear range from 1.0 × 10 –13 to 1.0 × 10 −9 was obtained for the detection of E2, with a low detection limit of 2.75 fM. This proposed method showed highly sensitive and selective for detecting E2, and could be used to determine E2 in actual samples.

A novel triphenylamine derivative, 4,4′ -bis-([1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl) imidazo -triphenylamine (IPTPA) with an A-π-D-π-A structure, has been synthesized and characterized. The UV absorption , single and two-photon fluorescence spectra showed that IPTPA was highly sensitive to Ag + with a lower detection limit of 3.97 nmoL/L and a moderate binding constant of 2.16 × 10 5 /M at room temperature . The two-photon active cross-section of IPTPA was calculated with a value of 94.68 GM at 800 nm in the tris-HCl buffer solution. The binding mechanism between IPTPA and Ag + were explored by the Job plot, ESI-MS and 1 H NMR. The A-π-D-π-A structure of IPTPA was substituted by the A-π-D-π-D structure of IPTPA-Ag to improve the fluorescence. Furthermore, the fluorescence microscopy images indicated that IPTPA could detect Ag + in living cells.

The residual of pesticides in fruit and vegetables is one of the major food safety concerns for consumers. There is a demand for easy and rapid analytical methods to sense pesticide residues in foods. In this study, a core-shell Au@Ag nanoparticles aggregates (Au@AgNAs) based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) method was developed to detect trace amount of difenoconazole . Results suggested that by targeting the characteristic peaks at 700 and 808 cm −1 , the logarithmic SERS signal intensities and logarithmic difenoconazole concentrations in the range from 5 × 10 −7 to 2.5 × 10 −5 M showed linear relationship with the coefficient of determination ( R 2 ) of 0.990 and 0.985, and limit of detection (LOD) values of 5.01 × 10 −8 and 2.8 × 10 −8 M, respectively. The Quick Easy Cheap Effective Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) sample preparation method was used to extract difenoconazole in grapes for SERS measurements. The LOD of difenoconazole in grapes using this developed method was as low as 48 μg/kg, which was significantly lower than the maximum residue limit (MRL) values prescribed by European Union and China. This study demonstrated that the Au@AgNAs-based SERS method can be used as a simple, rapid and sensitive approach for sensing trace contaminants in food.

Nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide loading with Au-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles (NG-Au-Ag) was synthesized by a facile two-step strategy. The successful formation of NG-Au-Ag nanocomposites were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Furthermore, NG-Au-Ag nanocomposites were modified onto the electrode surface for the voltammetric detection of daunorubicin (DNR). The results showed that the NG-Au-Ag modified electrode expressed high electrocatalytic activity toward the redox of DNR, allowed detection of DNR with wide linear range (0.01 μg mL −1 to 15 μg mL −1 ) and low detection limit (3 ng mL −1 ). The modified electrode also exhibited satisfactory performance for the detection of DNR in human serum samples.

Liver cancer is one of the factors that threaten human life. Highly up-regulated in liver cancer (HULC), a kind of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), is regarded as a favorable noninvasive biomarker for the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). So a strategy focused on improving the sensitivity of HULC detection is urgently desired. In this work, a highly sensitive electrochemiluminescent (ECL) sensor was constructed using [email protected] core-shell nanoparticles/graphene quantum dots ( [email protected] /GQDs) as a signal indicator to detect HULC. Compared with the individual gold or silver nanoparticles , [email protected] core-shell nanoparticles exhibited large specific surface area, better catalysis and excellent electronic transmission capacity due to the synergistic effect between Au and Ag. Thus, the ECL performance of GQDs could be greatly promoted by [email protected] core-shell nanoparticles. Under the optimal conditions, this proposed ECL sensor exhibited ultrahigh sensitivity for quantitative detection of HULC with a wide linear range from 1 fM to 5 nM and a low detection limit of 0.3 fM (S/N = 3). These results showed that the sensor was promising for the sensitive detection of lncRNA in clinical application.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising hosts for catalytic active sites due to their adjustable porosity and framework chemistry. Strategies to improve synergistic effects between the installed sites and the parent MOF are highly desired. Herein, a facile and rapid method for the preparation of xAg@ZIF-8 materials was reported. The materials were systematically characterized and used as catalysts for carboxylation of terminal alkynes via direct insertion of CO2 to the C(sp)–H bond (CTACO2). It was found that the integrity of the ZIF-8 structure could be retained upon Ag loading, but short-range crystalline ordering was modified. Two types Ag species could be installed, namely, highly dispersed Ag(I) in the backbone (AgHD) and aggregated Ag(0) nanoparticles on the outer surface (AgNP). The AgNP sites are highly effective for the activation of terminal alkynes due to its high accessibility, while the AgHD-modified ZIF-8 framework worked as a CO2 reservoir with enhanced affinity. Combination of these factors translated to high activity in the CTACO2 process, the measured turnover frequency and time yield are among the highest among most heterogeneous catalysts.

A novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor based on hollow gold nanospheres (HGNPs) and an improved sandwich assay was developed to detect rabbit IgG. The electromagnetic coupling between the HGNPs and Au film, and the notable plasmonic fields spread over the inner and outer surfaces of HGNPs, led to the considerable amplification of the SPR signal. [email protected] 3 O 4 /reduced graphene oxide ( [email protected] 3 O 4 /rGO) was introduced to bind detection antibody (Ab 2 ) to form the improved sandwich structure. Ag nanoparticles were excited to produce SPR and their hot electrons were doped on graphene thin films, which amplified the response of biomolecules. Magnetic nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 ) simplified the collection of Ab 2 [email protected] 3 O 4 /rGO. An external layer of polydopamine (PDA) permitted the efficient immobilization of Ab 2 without activation via abundant functional groups and protected the nanoparticles from etching or agglomeration. In addition, because of its large mass, Ab 2 [email protected] 3 O 4 /rGO also played a key role in the further amplification of the SPR response signals. This novel SPR biosensor exhibited an effective response to the rabbit IgG at the different concentrations ranging from 0.019 to 40.00 μg mL −1 . This value is 132 times lower than that observed for a traditional SPR biosensor based on Au-3-mercaptopropionic acid and 8 times lower than that obtained from an Ab 2 sandwich assay, which indicates that the SPR sensor has high sensitivity. In addition, the designed biosensor showed satisfactory recoveries to detect the rabbit IgG spiked in serum samples. Therefore, the novel SPR biosensor with high sensitivity and acceptable recovery has potential for practical applications.

The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior of metal nanoclusters has attracted much attention owing to their extensive application prospects in bio-imaging and chemical sensors. However, the intrinsic mechanism of metal nanoclusters’ aggregation-induced emission is still not very clear. Herein, Cu nanoclusters S1 and Ag(I)-doped Cu/Ag nanoclusters S2 and S3 coated with D-penicillamine are designed and synthesized by a self-assembly strategy. S1–S3 show strong luminescence properties with luminescence quantum yields as high as 11.4%–14.2%. Moreover, their luminescence peak position shows an obvious hypsochromic shift from 615 (S1) to 570 nm (S3). With the introduction of Ag(I) ions, the assembly morphology also shows clear changes from the irregular assembly structure (S1) to large spherical particles with the average size of 0.18 μm for S2 and 0.47 μm for S3. A detailed investigation of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images, X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, ESI-TOF-mass spectra, UV-vis absorption spectra, photoluminescence spectra and luminescence lifetimes of Cu/Ag nanoclusters S2 and S3 indicates that Cu/Ag nanoclusters are actually a Cu/Ag alloy nanocluster superstructure and the microscopic arrangement of S2 and S3 is more compact and ordered relative to S1. The more compact and ordered Cu/Ag alloy nanocluster superstructure enhances the metal–metal interaction of inter-nanoclusters and intra-nanoclusters and facilitates the radiative transition of ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) and/or ligand-to-metal–metal charge transfer (LMMCT), which results in the aggregation-induced emission phenomenon. In addition, an enhanced metal–metal interaction increases the average metal–metal distance of the Cu/Ag nanocluster superstructure, leading to a hypsochromic shift of emission spectra. Furthermore, the Cu/Ag alloy nanoclusters show good stability and reversibility on pH cycling between pH = 3 and 7 and temperature cycling between 5 °C and 48 °C. The Cu/Ag alloy nanoclusters can be used as probes for Ag(I) ion and halide anion detection in real water samples by the ratiometric PL method (I570/I615).

Despite the widespread utilization of nano silver composites in the domain of catalytic hydrogenation of aromatic pollutants in wastewater, certain challenges persist, including the excessive consumption of chemical reagents during the preparation process and the difficulty in recycling. In this study, silver ions were reduced in-situ by taking advantage of the adsorptive and reducing capacities of hydroxyls and amino groups on lignin porous microspheres (LPMs) under mild ultrasonic conditions, and lignin porous microspheres loaded with silver nanoparticles (Ag@LPMs) were conveniently prepared. Ag@LPMs had excellent catalytic and cycling performances for p-nitrophenol (4-NP), methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO). The 4-NP could be completely reduced to 4-AP within 155 s under the catalysis of Ag@LPMs, with a pseudo-first-order kinetic constant of 1.28 min −1 . Furthermore, Ag@LPMs could still complete the catalytic reduction of 4-NP within 10 min after five cycles. Ag@LPMs with the particle size ranging from 100 to 200 μm conferred ease of recycling, and the porous structure effectively resolved the issue of sluggish mass transfer encountered during the catalytic process. At the same time, the binding force of nano silver and LPMs obtained by ultrasonic was stronger than that of heating, so the materials prepared by ultrasonic had better cycling performance. Silver ions concentration and pH value in the preparation process affected the catalytic performance of Ag@LPMs, 50 mmol/L Ag + and pH value of 7 turned out to be the optimization conditions.

At present, Ni-based coatings are rarely used in the field of voltage control friction because of their poor antifriction, wear resistance, and conductive properties. Therefore, in this paper, Cu-BTC@Ag nanocrystals were used to enhance the nickel coatings, and the effect of voltage on their tribological properties was also investigated. It was found that the grains of coating were refined via the addition of Cu-BTC@Ag nanocrystals, leading to an improvement in the hardness and corrosion resistance of this composite coating. The tribological performance of nickel composite coating could be controlled under different electrical fields. With the comparison of the pure Ni-based coating, the average friction coefficient and wear volume of its composite coating with 5 wt % Cu-BTC@Ag were reduced by 7.0 and 91.8%, respectively, which showed excellent wear resistance without an applied voltage. Under the condition of 20 V, the 5 wt % Cu-BTC@Ag/Ni-based composite coating owned outstanding antifriction performance. Therefore, Cu-BTC@Ag played an intelligent role in regulating the friction of Ni-based coatings under an external voltage. It is due to the accumulation of Cu-BTC@Ag nanocrystals on the surface of the coating under the action of voltage, which played the role of supporting load and effectively reducing wear.

The nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) represents a promising route for water treatment and NH3 generation. This process involves the deoxygenation of NO3− to form nitrite (NO2−), followed by its subsequent hydrogenation. However, discrepancies in the rates of these two steps result in a decrease in faradaic efficiency (FE) and NH3 yield rate. Herein, we demonstrated a tandem catalyst of (Cu7/Ag3)7-Ru3/C achieving a high NH3 yield rate of 3.45 mmol h−1 cm−2 (2.30 mol gcat−1 h−1) and a FE of 93.48% at −0.9 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode. The Cu/Ag heterostructure greatly enhanced the conversion of NO3− to NO2− over a wide potential window due to the synergistic effect, while Ru, selectively adsorbing NO2−, provided active hydrogen derived from water hydrolysis to facilitate NH3 synthesis. Furthermore, (Cu7/Ag3)7-Ru3/C exhibited stable performance in a membrane electrode assembly over 60 hours, achieving an average NH3 yield rate of 6.90 mmol h−1. The ammonium chloride solid product was successfully obtained using an air stripping methodology. In situ characterization revealed that the surface microenvironment of Ru influenced the adsorption configuration of *NO and on-top adsorbed NO was more favorable for ammonia synthesis compared to bridge-adsorbed NO. The overall reaction pathway involved stepwise deoxygenation to form *N and subsequent gradual hydrogenation.

Inorganic or organic solid supported metal nanostructures have been attracted intensive interests in recent years. In this study, a novel and versatile approach for the preparation of solid supported silver nanocomposites is presented for the first time. In this method, the modified aldehyde groups on solid supporters are employed to reduce Ag[(NH 3 ) 2 ] + ions. The in situ reduced silver nucleus are directly coated on the surfaces of the supports and then used as both seeds and catalysts for the self-catalytic growth of Ag NPs. In this reaction, no additional reduction and protective agents are needed. Moreover, the size of the Ag NPs can be tuned by varying the concentration of the Ag[(NH 3 ) 2 ] + ions and the reaction time, which leads to the interesting change of the localized surface plasmon resonance absorption of the NPs. Such a synthesis method may realize the separation of nucleation and growth stages for the formation of Ag NPs and is proved to be a versatile method for the preparation of solid supported Ag nanocomposites (PS–Ag, Fe 3 O 4 –Ag, and SiO 2 –Ag), which would benefit the preparations and further applications of functional materials in near future.
