In previous reports, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have demonstrated significant potential as lubricant additives. Herein, we embedded Ag nanoparticles in the DT-COF (polycondensation polymer of 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde and 4,4′,4″-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl) trianiline) matrix via the ball milling method and utilized this composite (Ag@DT-COF) as an additive for supermolecule oil gel. The low molecular weight gelator effectively mitigates the dispersion challenges of COFs in lubricant oil, while the embedded Ag nanoparticles enhance the repairing effect and antipressure performance of the lubricant. The resulting Ag@DT-COF gel exhibits a reduction in the average friction coefficient and wear volume of base oil by 46.0% and 87.5%, respectively, and increases the load-carrying capacity to 750 N. The remarkable tribological properties are attributed to the easy adsorption of DT-COF, antiwear characteristic of Ag nanoparticles, and the gelator that ensures the long-term stability of oil gel.

A novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) composite substrates on the basis of Ag triangular nanoplates(Ag TNPs)-modified SiO 2 photonic crystals (PC) is fabricated and applied to the SERS detection of malachite green (MG). It consists of uniformly arranged Ag TNP@SiO 2 , a new PC. Notably, Ag TNP are uniformly aligned on the SiO 2 surface, forming a three-dimensional high-density hotspot nanostructure. With the tip “hot spots” of Ag TNPs, Bragg diffraction of SiO 2 and coupling enhancement between Ag TNPs and SiO 2 , the SERS enhancement of this composite substrates was multiplied. The effect on the SERS of Ag TNP@SiO 2 composite substrate was systematically optimized by tuning Ag TNP size, size of SiO 2 microspheres, coverage of Ag TNPs on SiO 2 and fabrication method of Ag TNPs and PC. Moreover, the uniform of SERS composite substrates and Raman signal was dramatically increased by the method of vertical deposition. Eventually, the SERS composite substrates were employed in MG detection. Its broad detection range of 1 pM–1 μM and low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.49 pM indicated acceptable sensitivity and repeatability. This work illustrates the promising applicability in food safety analysis based on SERS composite substrates composed by Ag TNP@SiO 2 with numerous SERS enhancements and excellent stability.

In this research, PEDOT: PSS/Ag composite was successfully prepared by in-situ oxidation method, and the preparation conditions were optimized by adjusting the amount of APS and PSS . By utilizing FT-IR, XPS, TEM and ζ potential tests, the structure of PEDOT: PSS/Ag composite was characterized. Subsequently, the composite was coated on cotton fabric substrates through ink-jet printing to fabricate conductive coatings. To enhance the adhesion durability of conductive coatings, different dopamine (DA) solutions were further sprayed onto the surface of conductive coatings, and UV irradiation was used to initiate DA polymerization into polydopamine (PDA). For demonstrating the binding performance of PDA, The effects of solution pH, DA concentration and UV irradiation time on the coating durability to wash, friction and light exposure were measured and compared. The results indicated that the good polymerization of PDA on cotton fabric could significantly enhance the durability of conductive coatings to various external stimuli.

Solar-driven CO 2 reduction into hydrocarbon fuels has a great potential for mitigating the issues of greenhouse effect and fossil energy crisis we are currently facing. It is a great challenge for visible-light-driven photocatalytic CO 2 reduction into CH 4 with high selectivity and conversion efficiency. Herein, we report a synthesis of N/K-doped TiO 2 nanospheres with Ag nanoparticles decoration (N/K-TiO 2 -Ag) by a solvothermal method and study its photocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance. It is found that the N/K-TiO 2 -Ag composite exhibits superior photocatalytic CO 2 reduction into CH 4 yield and selectivity than K-TiO 2 and N/K-TiO 2 . Indeed, the N/K-TiO 2 -Ag-0.5 sample shows the highest CH 4 yield with rate of 113.84 μmol g −1 h −1 and selectivity of CH 4 (93.71%) under light irradiation. The enhancement might be attributed to the synergy of N/K doping and silver loading. In particular, the N/K doping and the Ag cocatalysts introducing triggered improvement of solar energy utilization and charge separation as well as Ag-induced SPR effect and the K + -induced redistribution of photogenerated charge carriers cooperatively promotes photocatalytic CO 2 conversion into CH 4 . It is expected this work would offer a guide for rational design of K/TiO 2 -based photocatalyst for selectively converting CO 2 into fuels.

Converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into high-value-added chemicals using solar energy is a promising approach to reducing carbon dioxide emissions; however, single photocatalysts suffer from quick the recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs and poor photoredox ability. Herein, silver (Ag) nanoparticles featuring with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) are combined with g-C3N4to form a Schottky junction for photothermal catalytic CO2reduction. The Ag/g-C3N4exhibits higher photocatalytic CO2reduction activity under UV-vis light; the CH4and CO evolution rates are 10.44 and 88.79 µmol·h−1·g−1, respectively. Enhanced photocatalytic CO2reduction performances are attributed to efficient hot electron transfer in the Ag/g-C3N4Schottky junction. LSPR-induced hot electrons from Ag nanoparticles improve the local reaction temperature and promote the separation and transfer of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. The charge carrier transfer route was investigated by in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (3D-FDTD) method verified the strong electromagnetic field at the interface between Ag and g-C3N4. The photothermal catalytic CO2reduction pathway of Ag/g-C3N4was investigated using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra (DRIFTS). This study examines hot electron transfer in the Ag/g-C3N4Schottky junction and provides a feasible way to design a plasmonic metal/polymer semiconductor Schottky junction for photothermal catalytic CO2reduction.

In this study, a core-shell structural nano-composite material, namely CdTeS@SiO 2 , is synthesized by a simple silanization of Te-doped CdS quantum dots (CdTeS QDs). Through SiO 2 capping, CdTeS QDs not only improve the fluorescence performance effectively, but also greatly enhance the anti-interference ability in the environment. Based on its excellent optical properties , a novel fluorescence sensor is constructed for the ultramicro detection of Ag + . The fluorescence of CdTeS@SiO 2 is strongly quenched in the presence of Ag + and shows good linearity in the range of 0.005–5.0 μmol L −1 with a detection limit as low as 1.6 nmol L −1 . This is mainly due to its unique quenching mechanism: Ag + destroys the spherical structure of SiO 2 and promotes the formation of non-radiative electron-hole pairs through electron transfer , leading to fluorescence quenching . At the same time, it competes with Cd for Te, S and MPA on the CdTeS surface, forming Ag–Te, Ag–S and Ag–MPA complexes attached to the CdTeS surface leading to wavelength red-shift. The feasibility of the proposed sensor is demonstrated through spiking experiments, which confirmed the potential value of the constructed fluorescence probe for real-world applications in detecting Ag + in environmental water.

MgO/Ag nanoparticles (NPs) have been surface modified with the silane coupling agent KH-570. The modified NPs (KMA) were added to poly (butylene succinate- co -terephthalate) (PBST) to prepare the K-PMA composite films. The modification improved the compatibility between MgO/Ag NPs and PBST matrix. The study comprehensively investigated the effects of modified MgO/Ag NPs on the mechanical, antibacterial, and preservation properties of bio-nanocomposite films. The incorporation of NPs substantially improved the mechanical and barrier properties of the PBST matrix. The composite films exhibited the best overall performance when the nanoparticle content is 3 %. In particular, the elongation at break, tensile strength, and water vapor permeability ( WVP ) were 794.67 %, 32.20 MPa, and 1.53 × 10 −11 g·m/m 2 ·s·Pa, respectively. Furthermore, the K-PMA-3 composite film exhibited excellent antibacterial properties and food preservation performance. The inhibition rates against Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ), Escherichia coli ( E. coli ), and Salmonella paratyphi B ( S. paratyphi B ) were all over 98 %. After 6 days of preservation experiments, the mass loss of cherry tomatoes wrapped with K-PMA-3 film was only 5.9 %, which was only 45 % of the mass loss of cherry tomatoes wrapped with PMA-3 film. The results showed that the prepared biofilms have a great potential to be used as food packaging films.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are regarded as promising candidates for developing high energy–density Li metal batteries because of their flexible processability and low cost. However, the application of SPEs is still inherently impeded by the mediocre ionic conductivity and unstable Li/electrolyte interface. In this work, the silver fluoride (AgF) additive is introduced to optimize the ionic conductivity of PEO and induce the formation of stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer between Li metal and SPEs interface, thereby inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites. AgF can be complex with anions to promote the dissociation of Li + -TFSI − ion pairs, improving the mobility of Li + ions, as confirmed by experimental and computational studies. Moreover, the AgF converses to LiF and Li-Ag alloys via in-situ electrochemical reaction with Li anode, which can not only prevent the Li metal from parasitic reactions, but also reduce the concentration gradient of Li + ions. Hence, the Li|Li symmetric cell containing PEO-3 % AgF electrolyte demonstrates stable cyclability for 1800 h at 0.2 mA cm −2 (60 °C). When paired with a commercial LiFePO 4 cathode, the resulting all-solid-state Li-metal battery delivers remarkable cyclic performance of 126.9 mAh g −1 after 400 cycles (0.5 C). This work provides a new approach for the development of composite solid-state electrolyte films and lithium metal anodes in all-solid-state batteries.

Vascular defects caused by trauma or vascular diseases can significantly impact normal blood circulation, resulting in serious health complications. Vascular grafts have evolved as a popular approach for vascular reconstruction with promising outcomes. However, four of the greatest challenges for successful application of small-diameter vascular grafts are (1) postoperative anti-infection, (2) preventing thrombosis formation, (3) utilizing the inflammatory response to the graft to induce tissue regeneration and repair, and (4) noninvasive monitoring of the scaffold and integration. The present study demonstrated a basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and oleic acid dispersed Ag@Fe3O4 core–shell nanowires (OA-Ag@Fe3O4 CSNWs) codecorated poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/gelatin (Gel) multifunctional electrospun vascular grafts (bAPG). The Ag@Fe3O4 CSNWs have sustained Ag+ release and exceptional photothermal capabilities to effectively suppress bacterial infections both in vitro and in vivo, noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modality to monitor the position of the graft, and antiplatelet adhesion properties to promise long-term patency. The gradually released bFGF from the bAPG scaffold promotes the M2 macrophage polarization and enhances the recruitment of macrophages, endothelial cells (ECs) and fibroblast cells. This significant regulation of diverse cell behavior has been proven to be beneficial to vascular repair and regeneration both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, this study supplies a method to prepare multifunctional vascular-repair materials and is expected to represent a significant guidance and reference to the development of biomaterials for vascular tissue engineering.

Plastics as very important materials have been extensively utilized, and they make people’s lives comparative and economic. However, recent studies find that the micro/nano-plastic particles degenerating from plastic materials especially for food containers may lead to some unknown diseases when they enter into the human lung or stomach. The methods of detecting micro/nano-plastic particles are urgently required, and conventional methods necessitate intricate pre-processing steps and specialized equipment. Hence, this paper introduces a highly sensitive and direct detection method based on Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) in quantitatively and qualitatively analyzing polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics that are drop cast on substrate. The mechanism of SERS performance of the proposed Ag core embedded Au film (Ag@AuFilm) SERS substrate is studied by using the finite-different time-domain (FDTD) method. By optimizing the gap distance between the Ag core and the Au film, PS nanoplastics with three diameters were used to validate the effectiveness of the SERS substrate. The limits of detection (LOD) for PS nanoparticles with diameters of 50 nm, 70 nm, and 310 nm in DI water and real-river water were the same and the corresponding LODs were 50, 50, and 25 μg/mL, respectively. Thus, this study proposes an easily fabricated SERS substrate and provides a rapid, quantitative, and qualitative method for detecting PS nanoplastics. This new way of addressing the pervasive issue of nanoplastics pollution provided an accurate, efficient, and rapid detection of the nanoplastics.

Acinetobacter baumannii ( A. baumannii ) is a leading cause of pneumonia. Conventional antibiotics can increase the risk of drug resistance and non-specifically harm microflora, disrupting their balance. In addition to pathogenic bacteria, lung inflammation also damages tissue. This study develops an aptamer/polymer-functionalized mesoporous polydopamine/silver nanocomposite (Apt/ODEA-PDA/Ag-ICG) to specifically target A. baumannii and sequentially exhibit antibacterial/antioxidative properties for pneumonia treatment. After synthesizing the polyzwitterion (ODEA), the polymer/aptamer is conjugated with the PDA/Ag core, and ICG is further labeled to fabricate the nanocomposite. Upon intratracheal instillation, nanocomposites penetrate the mucus barrier with the help of polyzwitterions. The nanocomposite precisely targets A. baumannii through specific recognition by the aptamer, without affecting other microflora. Moreover, ICG is conjugated and distributed disorderedly within the polymer. ICG near the PDA/Ag core contributes to high NIR-I absorbance and good photothermal ability. ICG further from the PDA/Ag acts as a fluorescent molecule for specific A. baumannii imaging. Furthermore, PDA/Ag efficiently exhibits synergistic antibacterial activity owing to the acidic environment/heat-accelerated Ag + release and photothermal effect. Importantly, alongside Ag + release, the antioxidant ability of PDA scavenges reactive oxygen species and alleviates inflammation, thereby accelerating pneumonia treatment. In summary, nanocomposites provide an alternative approach for designing advanced antibacterial systems.

Phase change material (PCM) is a promising energy material for applications, but their inherent drawbacks, such as poor thermal conductivity and vulnerability to leakage, strongly limit their use in efficient energy storage and thermal management. To overcome these drawbacks, this paper innovatively uses a high-temperature one-step reduction method to simultaneously prepare Ag particles and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and carbonize melamine foam (CMF) to improve thermal conductivity as well as photo-thermal conversion, and ultimately a series of shape-stable thermally conductive reinforced composite phase change material (CPCM) are prepared using vacuum impregnation. The high-density three-dimensional thermal conductivity network of Ag@rGO-CMF was able to significantly increase the thermal conductivity of CPCM (up to 104.2 % enhancement). The prepared CPCM have high loading ratios (96.9 % ~ 97.8 %), high enthalpies (154–157.7 J/g), high photo-thermal conversion efficiencies (81.3 % ~ 90.5 %), and excellent thermal management capabilities of electronic devices. This study provides a simple and feasible method for the preparation for high performance CPCM.
