As a first-line tuberculostatic drug, isoniazid (INH) plays effective and irreplaceable role in prevention and treatment of tuberculosis. In this work, a rapid and simple signal-on fluorescence approach is established for INH assay by employing a platform composed of silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) and MnO 2 nanosheets. In the proposed sensing system, strong red fluorescence of poly (methacrylic acid)-stabilized AgNCs can be greatly quenched after they attach to the surfaces of MnO 2 nanosheets. With the addition of INH, MnO 2 nanosheets are reduced to Mn 2+ and subsequently release the AgNCs, which leads to obvious fluorescence recovery again. Based on this mechanism, highly sensitive detection of INH in the range of 0.8–200 μM is realized (detection limit: 476 nM). The present strategy shows remarkable advantages including simplicity, rapidness, high sensitivity and wide detectable range. This method is also practical and comparable to high-performance liquid chromatography, which can be applied to detect INH in human urine and serum samples as well as pharmaceutical products.

The exploit of simple method to synthesize and recover catalyst is meaningful to widespread application of environmental catalysis. Different from traditional knowledge about deposition of Ag cation by Cl anion, we find that Cl anion coordinates with Ru and Ag cations simultaneously to micro-micelles and results in homogeneously alloying of bimetals. The Ru-Ag alloy exhibits a remarkable activity and stability in propane catalytic oxidation at moderate condition, but is still inactivated by extremely-high temperature and humidity due to metal sintering and oxidation as well as support reconstruction. Fortunately, utilization of Cl coordination to extract and combine bimetals at redox condition is proved as a feasible and simple way to regenerate the thermally-inactivated catalyst. With in-situ characterization, the synergic effect between Ru and Ag on propane oxidation obeying Mars-van-Krevelen mechanism is revealed. Through monolith test, the practice application of Ru-Ag catalyst prepared via Cl-assisted method is thought to be promising.

In this study, poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/zein/Ag nanoparticle (AgNP) fibrous membranes were prepared by ultrasonication-assisted electrospinning. The effects of the AgNP content and ultrasonication time on the membrane morphology, chemical structure, biodegradability, mechanical properties, antibacterial/antiviral activity, and air filtration performance were studied. The best-performing membrane (AgNP content = 1% (w/v), sonication time = 30 min) exhibited a bead-on-string morphology, an air permeability of 93.6 ± 1.5 mm s −1 , and the Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus removal efficiencies of 98.1 ± 1.2% and 97.4 ± 2.5%, respectively. In an experiment with E. coli phage, the above-mentioned membrane exhibited a 97.1 ± 2.1% virus removal efficiency after 60 min. The high performance of this bead-on-string membrane for air filtration was ascribed to the low packing density due to the presence of open interconnected beaded airflow channels and small beads.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy as an effective method in sensitive detection applications has attracted more and more attentions recently. In this work, polydopamine was taken to achieve the modification of PET film surface for in-situ growth of three-dimensional (3D) ZnO/Ag nanocomposites. Ag nanoparticles on cluster-like ZnO nanorods surface were applied as Raman hot spots for target molecules detection. SEM, XPS, and XRD were used to characterize the microstructures and morphologies of 3D SERS substrates. pATP molecules were selected to measure the sensitivity, uniformity, and durability, the surface-enhanced enhancement mechanism of Raman scattering was analyzed by finite difference time domain (FDDT) simulation method. Malachite green (MG) was further used as the demonstrative pesticide residue, and the catalytic activity was studied by the deoxidization of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). This work has indicated that SERS substrates exhibited the advantages of facile fabrication process, low cost, high sensitivity, good stability and excellent uniformity, which can be used for the rapid Raman enhanced spectroscopy analysis of environmental pollutants.

In order to degrade toxic pollutants such as dyes during the process of sewage treatment, considerable attention has been paid to photocatalytic technologies. In this paper, TiO2/Ag[BMIM]Cl (1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl)) nanocomposites were prepared with TiO2as the carrier, silver ions as dopants and ionic liquids (IL) as modifiers. The morphologies, microstructures, crystalline structure and optical properties of the TiO2/Ag[BMIM]Cl nanospheres are investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), total organic carbon (TOC), and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV-vis DRS) techniques. The TiO2/Ag[BMIM]Cl nanocomposites can selectively degrade rhodamine B (Rh B) under visible light because of the unstable quaternary ammonium salt. The as-obtained nanocomposites exhibit better photocatalytic activity performance than pure TiO2, TiO2/IL, and TiO2/Ag+. The experimental results show that the Rh B degradation rate can reach 98.87% under optimized producing conditions by using the TiO2/Ag[BMIM]Cl composites as the catalyzer. It shows that simultaneous doping with silver ions and ionic liquids can significantly improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2in Rh B degradation, indicating the formation of photosensitive AgCl in the process of TiO2/Ag[BMIM]Cl preparation. Ag+and IL addition exchange the band gap of TiO2and lengthen the visible wavelength range of the composite. The material has the advantages of low cost, facile preparation and reusability with the excellent degradation effect of Rh B.Keywords:TiO2/Ag[BMIM]Cl composites;rhodamine B;visible photocatalytic degradation

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based biosensing has strong potential owing to its high sensitivity and good selectivity. In this study, a SERS biosensing platform for microRNA-21 detection was proposed by combining heating-enhanced duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-assisted target recycling amplification and silver nanocube (AgNC)-based SERS enhancement. The activity of DSN was greatly enhanced by increasing the surface temperature of a heated Au electrode (HAuE) during the DSN-assisted target recycling process, resulting in dramatic miRNA-21 amplification detection. 4-Mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) acting as a Raman reporter was immobilized onto the surface of AgNC to form a AgNC/4-MBA SERS tag with AgNC providing significantly larger electric field enhancement and thus excellent SERS applications compared with conventional silver or gold nanospheres. This enhancement was attributed to the well-known “lighting rod” effect derived from the sharp geometrical feature of the edges and corners of AgNCs. These factors lead to the high sensitivity of the proposed SERS biosensor for the miRNA-21 measurement. A limit of detection of 2.88 fM (S/N = 3) was achieved at an electrode temperature of 55 °C, which was decreased by more than three magnitudes compared with that at 25 °C.

Aqueous electrochemiluminescence (ECL) in the second near-infrared biowindow (NIR-II, 900–1700 nm) was anticipated for ECL evolution and spectral multiplexing. Herein, aqueous and monochromatic ECL with a single emission peak beyond 900 nm was achieved by employing methionine (Met)-capped Au–Ag bimetallic nanoclusters (BNCs) as luminophores and triethanolamine (TEOA) as a coreactant. The Met-capped Au–Ag BNCs with surface-defect-induced PL around 756 nm were water-soluble and synthesized via doping Met-capped Au NCs with Ag in a doping-in-growth way. By extensively exploiting the red-shifting nature of surface-defect-induced ECL to PL and the synergetic-effect-enhanced ECL of BNCs, physically surface-confined Au–Ag BNCs exhibited efficient NIR-II ECL around 906 nm in aqueous medium. A spectrum-based NIR-II ECL immunoassay around 915 nm was also achieved by immobilizing the Au–Ag BNCs onto an electrode surface via forming a sandwich immunocomplex, which could selectively determine CA125 from 5 × 10–4 to 1 U/mL with a detection limit of 5 × 10–5 U/mL (S/N = 3). The combined strategy of surface-defect-induced ECL and synergetic-effect-enhanced ECL would enable promising biorelated application of NIR-II ECL.

As an attractive alternative technology for the separation of long chain olefin and paraffin, a novel silver-based deep eutectic solvent (Ag-DES) was prepared and utilized for 1-octene/n-octane separations. Comprehensive reactive extraction separation experiments were performed to highlight the Ag-DES concentration and operating temperature discriminations using compounds with different ratio of 1-octene/n-octane. The novel Ag-DES showed optimal separation performance regarding 1-octene/n-octane and possessed the highest levels separation selectivity in the range 3.57–16.11 with excellent circulation stability in our best knowledge. Furthermore, FT-Raman measurements and quantum chemistry calculation were performed to elucidate the interaction mechanism of Ag-DES in the separation of 1-octene and n-octane, which revealed that both chemical complexation and strong physical attraction existed in the complex of Ag-DES and 1-octene rather than n-octane. A practical process was proposed for the separation of olefin and paraffin, which indicates that an advanced separation technology could largely reduce the energy consumption. This study lends important insight for the development of Ag-DES reactive extraction separation process for the energy-efficient long chain α-olefins purification from F-T synthesis products.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful analytical tool, but how to obtain effective and versatile SERS substrates is still a challenge. Herein, a simple and efficient strategy to prepare SERS substrates with ultra-sensitivity, high stability and wide applicability is presented. SiO 2 nanofibrous membranes were prepared by electrospinning and calcination , and modified with Ag nanoparticles . The results show that Ag nanoparticles decorated on SiO 2 nanofibers evenly and tightly through chemical bonding. The as-prepared membranes exhibit high flexibility and thermostability. The electrospun nanofibrous membranes show an ultra-high sensitivity of 10 −11 mol/L (an enhancement factor of 10 7 ) for small molecules, and the lowest detection limit near to 10 −8 mol/L for pesticides thiram . It is also demonstrated that the substrates remain excellent SERS signal stability even after standing for 60 days (intensity decrease only for 21.7%). More importantly, the as-prepared substrates can be performed for quantitative detection of bacteria.

A highly sensitive thrombin aptasensor was constructed based on the alteration of the aptamer conformation induced by the target recognition and the turn-on fluorescence due to the proximity of two darkish DNA-templated copper/silver nanoclusters (DNA-Cu/Ag NCs). Two DNA templates were designed as the functional structures consisting of the Cu/Ag NC-nucleation segment located at two termini or one terminus and the aptamer segment in the middle of a DNA template. Two darkish DNA-Cu/Ag NCs came close to each other when the aptamer combined with the target due to the conformational alteration of the aptamer structure, resulting in an increased fluorescence signal readout. Thrombin was sensitively determined as low as 1.6 nM in the range of 1.6–8.0 nM with a high selectivity. Finally, this sensor succeeded in detecting thrombin in a real fetal bovine serum.

Herein, a convenient and environment-friendly grafting and reduction strategy was used to anchor bimetallic Ag-Cu nanoparticles on polypropylene (PP) fabrics. The as-prepared samples were characterized by various techniques including FE-SEM, XRD, EDX, XPS and FT-IR. The as-prepared sample exhibits excellent activity on the catalytic reduction of highly concentrated 4-NP, and the synergistic effect between Ag and Cu nanoparticles was proved. The entire catalytic reduction was generally considered to obey pseudo-order kinetics, affording high conversion even after 15 successive recycles. These results showed that the PP based composite with Ag-Cu nanoparticles effectively provided superb catalytic efficiency and stability in 4-nitrophenol reduction, and the PP based composites were suitable in practical applications for the treatment of diverse waste water.

In this work, a simple and green synthetic approach of novel guanine decorated carbon dots (G-CDs) using guanosine 5′-monophosphate and ethylenediamine through a domestic microwave oven was established for the first time. The as-prepared fluorescent G-CDs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The obtained fluorescent G-CDs with a uniform morphology had desirable functional groups and excellent optical performances. Furthermore, the fluorescence intensity of G-CDs was remarkably quenched by Ag + than that of other nucleotides-derived CDs. The density functional theory calculations were performed to confirm that the strong interaction of guanine-Ag + was responsible for the remarkable fluorescence response of G-CDs towards Ag + . In addition, as a label-free fluorescence probe, the G-CDs displayed a good linear detection for highly selective Ag + sensing over the range of 0–80 μM with the low detection limit of 90 nM. Therefore, the proposed G-CDs had the capacity for Ag + detection in the real samples.
