The growing demand for flexible electronics necessitates low-temperature conductive pastes, yet silver-based solutions face limitations from high costs and electromigration risks. Copper@silver nanoparticles (Cu@Ag NPs), combining copper's cost benefits with silver's oxidation resistance, present a viable strategy, though their sintering mechanisms and paste performance optimization still require deeper exploration. This study investigates the sintering behavior of Cu@Ag NPs through integrated molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experimental synthesis. MD results revealed the sintering temperature of Cu@Ag NPs is lower than those of Ag NPs and Cu NPs, the calculated value of 690 K (416.85 °C) was consistent with experimentally determined 412.8 °C through chemically reduced nanoproducts, both indicated Cu@Ag NPs owned a low-temperature sintering characteristic. The optimization of the Ag/Cu molar ratio determined the ratio of 0.5:1 achieved complete silver shell encapsulation, enhancing oxidation resistance and thermal stability compared to Cu NPs. Incorporating 20 wt% optimized Cu@Ag NPs into silver pastes, the nanoparticles were uniformly distributed on silver flakes, which helped to reduce the cross-sectional porosity to 19.69 % ± 1.12 % while maintaining 5B adhesion. Four probe tests demonstrated that Cu@Ag NPs reduced the resistivity by 33.33 % and 92.59 % compared to Cu NPs-added and pure Ag pastes, respectively, achieving a resistivity of 8.46 × 10⁻⁴ Ω·cm after 200 bending cycles. The low-temperature sintering characteristics of Cu@Ag NPs enable silver pastes to achieve optimal overall performance. These findings, supported by both theoretical simulations and experimental results, confirm the promising potential of Cu@Ag NPs for applications in the flexible electronics industry.

Y 2 O 3 is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly wide-band gap photocatalyst with extensive application potential. However, its limited ability to be excited by visible light restricts its practical uses. In this study, we coupled the narrow bandgap semiconductor AgI with Y 2 O 3 to form a Z-scheme heterostructure , significantly promoting its photocatalytic degradation activity. Characterization and experimental results demonstrated the formation of Y-O-Ag bonds through coupling with AgI, leading to an increase in oxygen vacancies in Y 2 O 3 , which promotes the chemisorption of H 2 O and O 2 . The Y-O-Ag bond introduction promotes electron transfer , improves hole utilization, and boosts energy transfer efficiency, thus promoting the efficient generation of ·OH and 1 O 2 . The photocatalytic degradation rates of RhB and o-nitrophenol by 7.5% AgI/Y 2 O 3 were 26.5 and 4 times higher than those of pure Y 2 O 3 , respectively. This study provides theoretical support for the Z-scheme heterojunction to improve photocatalytic activity and offers efficient solutions and practical design ideas for sewage purification.

Novel Z-scheme Ag/AgI/AgBr/sulfonated polystyrene composite is prepared via ion-exchange followed by light reduction. The photocatalytic activities of as-synthesized samples are evaluated through the degradation of methyl orange (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The Z-scheme Ag/AgI/AgBr/SPs photocatalysts display excellent photocatalytic activity and stability compared with Ag/AgI and Ag/AgBr. The improved photocatalytic activity is mainly due to the combined effects of the Z-scheme structure of Ag/AgI/AgBr/SPs and the strong surface plasmon resonance effect of Ag 0 nanoparticles. Moreover, after four successive cycles, the Ag/AgI/AgBr/SPs photocatalysts have no obvious loss of activity for the degradation of RhB, illustrating that the Z-scheme Ag/AgI/AgBr/SPs photocatalysts are rather stable under visible-light irradiation.

Here, we report a simple approach to fabricate 3D hierarchical peony-like Ag/Bi 2 WO 6 hybrid photocatalyst through one-step hydrothermal method with l -leucine as a template. The morphology and structure of the resultant materials were characterized by various analytical methods, such as X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra. The photocatalytic performance of Bi 2 WO 6 and Ag/Bi 2 WO 6 samples was evaluated by degrading organic dye and antibiotic in water under visible light irradiation. A series of results indicated that loaded Ag nanoparticles significantly improve the photocatalytic activity of Bi 2 WO 6 . In addition, the possible mechanism was proposed that the enhanced photocatalytic activity was resulted from the unique configuration of peony-like morphology that favorable for the adsorption of organic compounds and the high Schottky barriers between interface of Ag NPs and Bi 2 WO 6 , which promoted the transfer of photogenerated electrons from Bi 2 WO 6 to Ag NPs. Meanwhile, noble metal Ag can induce surface plasmon resonance leading to the better visible light absorption of Bi 2 WO 6 .

This work demonstrated red light emitting nano-PVP fibers that incorporated with novel three-layer nanostructure of Ag@SiO 2 @Eu(tta) 3 phen nanoparticles (Ag@SiO 2 @Eu(tta) 3 phen-NPs), and the hybrid nano-PVP fibers were fabricated via a remarkably simple electrostatic spinning method. For Ag@SiO 2 @Eu(tta) 3 phen-NPs, the thickness of SiO 2 is optimized to obtain the maximum luminescent intensity , as results, the optimized thickness of SiO 2 is 20 nm. And the corresponding luminescent intensity (612 nm) of the Ag@SiO 2 @Eu(tta) 3 phen-NPs is enhanced up to 10 times compared with the pure Eu(tta) 3 phen complex, which indicates that with 20 nm SiO 2 thickness, the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of Ag@SiO 2 exhibits highest performance for enhancing luminescence. Moreover, the luminescent PVP fibers emit bright red light under the fluorescence microscope, which definitely confirms that the microenvironment provided by PVP polymer is absolutely suitable for the fluorescent composites.

To optimize the performance of silver nanowire (Ag NW) film heaters and explore the effect of graphene on a film, we introduced poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and graphene modified with ethyl cellulose (graphene-EC) into the film. The high-quality and well-dispersed graphene-EC was synthesized from graphene obtained by electrochemical exfoliation as a precursor. The transparent film heaters were fabricated via spin-coating. With the assistance of graphene-EC, the stability of film heaters was greatly improved, and the conductivity was optimized by adjusting the Ag NW concentration. The film heaters exhibited a fast and accurate response to voltage, accompanied by excellent environmental endurance, and there was no significant performance degradation after being operated for a long period of time. These results indicate that graphene-EC plays a crucial role in optimizing film stability and heat dispersion in the film. The Ag NW/PEDOT:PSS-doped graphene-EC film heaters show a great potential in low-cost indium-tin-oxide-free flexible transparent electrodes, heating systems, and transparent film heaters.

DNA strands have been used as templates to form different sized silver nanoclusters. Although DNA templated silver nanoclusters (NCs) probes which show outstanding fluorescence properties have been widely applied in chemical sensing and cellular imaging, synthesis of DNA template Au–Ag
bimetallic nanoclusters remains a challenge. A facile one-step synthesis method was thus developed in this study to form Au–Ag NCs using C4-ATAT-C4 as template. C4-ATAT-C4 acted as a stabilizer for preventing aggregation of the Au–Ag NCs. The obtained Au–Ag NCs stabilized
by C4-ATAT-C4 showed bright fluorescence and high stability. A series of experiments showed that temperature, citrate-citric acid buffer, sequence and concentration of DNA played an important role in the synthesis of fluorescent Au–Ag NCs. In addition, a ratiometric fluorescence probe
was designed through combining the nucleotide sequence (C4-ATAT-C4) and hybridization sequence in the presence of the double-strand-chelating dye Super SYBR Green (SG). The combination of prepared Au–Ag NCs, Super SG, and perfectly matched DNA emitted fluorescence at 500 and 590 nm,
respectively, when the composite was excited at 290 nm. A gastric cancer gene was also selectively detected by our developed ratiometric fluorescence probe.

The accurate and real-time detection of antibiotics in the complex mixtures remain a significant challenge in the clinical drug monitoring, the food safety and the environmental surveillance. In this study, we developed an innovative electrochemical sensor platform, i.e. Ag/ZIF-67/g-C 3 N 4 /GCE, combined with the assistance of machine learning for the detection of chloramphenicol (CHL) in the practice pharmaceutical and urine samples. The incorporation of machine learning into the sensor design represents a key advancement, enabling the intelligent analysis and the enhanced sensing performance. The Ag/ZIF-67/g-C 3 N 4 composite electrode exhibited remarkable electrochemical properties, including a broad linear detection range (0.01–250.00 μmol L −1 ) and an ultralow detection limit of 5.32 nmol L −1 . The sensor demonstrated excellent selectivity, reproducibility and stability, even in the complex sample matrices. For practical application, the developed sensor achieved high recovery rates (98.00–103.00 % in the pharmaceutical samples and 96.67–103.33 % in the urine samples) with the standard deviations below 2.56 % and 2.26 %, respectively. More importantly, the artificial neural network (ANN), specifically the backpropagation (BP) neural network, was applied to analyze the collected sensor data, successfully predicting and validating the CHL sensing efficiency. This study highlights the synergistic combination of the advanced materials and machine learning for the intelligent and the accurate detection of antibiotics, paving ways for the AI-powered electrochemical sensing platforms with potential applications in both health monitoring and real-world sample analysis.

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.

The rapid advancement of integrated circuits and electronic devices presents challenges to traditional epoxy molding compound (EMC), necessitating the demand for highly thermally conductive yet electrically insulating composites to address the “hotspot issues” in high-power chips. Here, a low-temperature sintering technology based on metal–organic decomposition is developed to fabricate a three-dimensional interconnected networks structure composite (3D-Diamond@Ag/EP). The in-situ decomposition of the silver amine complex on the surface of the Diamond@Ag hybrid filler forms nano-silver bridges, which facilitate the successful construction of the three-dimensional networks structure. When the Ag reaches 4.0 vol%, the thermal conductivity of the composite (reaches 6.42 W/m·K) breaks out of the low numerical blockade of the epoxy resin (0.18 W/m·K), while maintaining excellent insulation performance. It is noteworthy that the great improvement of thermal conductivity is achieved by the synergistic effect of sufficient thermal pathways and minimizing interfacial thermal resistance along these paths. Moreover, this work obtained composite exhibits other excellent thermal characteristics. It provided a practical route to produce high thermal conductivity polymer-based composites with electrical insulation for heat management in modern electronic devices.

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.

Currently, achieving dual applications of Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 -based photocatalysts in photocatalytic degradation and sterilization under visible-light conditions is challenging. In this study, a novel Ag/Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 visible-light photocatalyst with bimetallic doping and rich oxygen vacancies was successfully synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal crystallization method. The existence of oxygen vacancies was verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis. The experimental results showed that Ag/Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 killed ∼100% (log 7) of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli (AR- E. coli ) within 60 min and degraded 83.81% of tetracycline (TC) within 180 min under visible light irradiation. Moreover, Ag/Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 can still remove 61.07% of TC in water after 5 cycles, showing excellent photocatalytic cycle stability and reusability. The possible degradation pathway of TC was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. It was found that the main active substances in the photocatalytic disinfection of AR- E. coli were 1 O 2 , h + , and ·OH, while 1 O 2 was the dominant active species in the photocatalytic degradation of TC. This study presents a promising Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 -based visible light photocatalyst for treating both antibiotics (TC) and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (AR- E. coli ) in water.
