The probe materials play a significant role in improving the detection efficiency and sensitivity of lateral-flow immunochromatographic test strip (ICTS). Unlike conventional ICTS assay usually uses single-component, solid gold nanoparticles as labeled probes, in our present study, a bimetallic, hollow Au-Ag nanoparticles (NPs) labeled ICTS was successfully developed for the detection of clenbuterol (CLE). The hollow Au-Ag NPs with different Au/Ag mole ratio and tunable size were synthesized by varying the volume ratio of [HAuCl4]:[Ag NPs] via the galvanic replacement reaction. The surface of hollow Ag-Au NPs was functionalized with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) for further covalently bonded with anti-CLE monoclonal antibody. Overall size of the Au-Ag NPs, size of the holes within individual NPs and also Au/Ag mole ratio have been systematically optimized to amplify both the visual inspection signals and the quantitative data. The sensitivity of optimized hollow Au-Ag NPs probes has been achieved even as low as 2 ppb in a short time (within 15 min), which is superior over the detection performance of conventional test strip using Au NPs. The optimized hollow Au-Ag NPs labeled test strip can be used as an ideal candidate for the rapid screening of CLE in food samples.

Ag-WO 3 core-shell nanospheres (CSNSs) are fabricated for gas sensor applications. It is found that the sensor based on Ag-WO 3 CSNSs dramatically improve the sensor performance towards alcohol vapor, with significantly lower optimum working temperature (260 °C) and superior detection limit (0.20 ppm) comparing to pure WO 3 hollow nanospheres (HNSs). The Ag-WO 3 sensor displays an ultrahigh sensitivity under visible light illumination. When illuminated under a 150 W xenon arc light source, the response is increased from 62 to 160, the optimum working temperature is reduced from 260 to 190 °C, and the detection limit is improved from 0.20 to 0.032 ppm. This work may offer an attractive strategy to improve sensitivity of light-enhanced plasmonic metal-oxide based gas sensors.

Ordered mesoporous Ag/CeO 2 nanocomposites were prepared by combining nanocasting with photo-assisted reduction. The heterogeneous photoreactivity of the prepared samples was tested for inactivating Escherichia coli ( E. coli ). These mesoporous Ag/CeO 2 nanocomposites exhibited superior photocatalytic disinfection efficiency than mesoporous CeO 2 and bulk CeO 2 , respectively. Doping Ag species could extend the absorption range to visible light area and enhance the concentration of Ce 3+ ions and oxygen vacancies, which had significant influence on the surface properties of CeO 2 . Moreover, it is the first time to verify that created midgap states through doping Ag can significantly lower the threshold of incident photon energy and broaden the adsorption spectrum demonstrated by experimental studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The enhanced disinfection mechanism was attributed to the fact that the novel mesoporous structure can promote the mass transfer process and the interfacial interaction between Ag species and CeO 2 and lead to reduced recombination of free charges, rapid separation and transportation of photogenerated electrons-holes. This work provides a new method to develop novel mesoporous plasmonic photocatlysts for disinfection using solar radiation.

A photothermal immunoassay was built for tumor marker detection based on Ag 4 P 2 O 7 @Ag nanocomposites. Ag 4 P 2 O 7 @Ag nanomaterials were synthesized by precipitation-photoreduction reaction, and characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Come about PO 4 3− derived from Ag 4 P 2 O 7 @Ag under acidic conditions react with ammonium molybdate in the action of reductant generating molybdenum blue. The photothermal change is due to molybdenum blue solution depending on the concentration of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in immunoassay. Under optimal conditions, there is a linear relation between ΔT and CEA concentration in the range of 1 pg mL −1 –40 ng mL −1 with the detection limit of 0.33 pg mL −1 . Meanwhile, the developed photothermal immunoassay displays preferable selectivity , repeatability, and stability.

Herein, a novel composite of g-C 3 N 4 and silver nanoparticles(g-C 3 N 4 @Ag) with enhanced bifunctional catalytic activity through chemical etching is reported. A kind of g-C 3 N 4 @Ag composite by one-pot route, then treated the product with sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ) solution for a certain time is first synthesized. The property and morphology of the g-C 3 N 4 @Ag composite changed greatly after the treatment. Compared with the pristine g-C 3 N 4 @Ag composite, the NaBH 4 -etching endowed g-C 3 N 4 @Ag composite (RACN) with smoother two-dimensional plane structure, as well as an extension of the conjugate system which originating from the stronger chemical connection between the Ag nanoparticles and g-C 3 N 4 . Furthermore, research results indicated that the RACN showed superior broad-spectrum catalytic performance for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds, and the catalytic efficiency of the RACN is enhanced dozens of times by the treatment. Moreover, the photocatalytic activity of the RACN is also greatly improved. This discovery provides an efficient and facile method toward the enhancement of catalytic activity of semiconductor and metal nanoparticle composites by chemical etching.

ZnFe 2 O 4 -coated Ag nanowires (Ag@ZnFe 2 O 4 NWs) were prepared for the photo-Fenton induced dehydration of fructose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) in visible light region. Effects of ZnFe 2 O 4 content, volume ratio of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to deionized water, reaction temperature, fructose dosage, H 2 O 2 content, pH values, inorganic ions, and quenchers on the fructose conversion, 5-HMF yield, and 5-HMF selectivity were performed in detail. Among these obtained composites, Brønsted acidic Ag@ZnFe 2 O 4 NWs with Ag NWs diameter of around 20 nm and ZnFe 2 O 4 coating of 6.13 wt% exhibit the best photo-Fenton catalytic activity for the conversion of fructose into 5-HMF, and slightly deactivate after five cycle times. The surface plasmon resonance effect of Ag NWs and the synergistic effect between ZnFe 2 O 4 and Ag NWs are favorable for the visible light absorption and the efficient transfer and separation of charge carriers. DMSO as well as OH radical plays the vital role in the photo-Fenton induced dehydration of fructose into 5-HMF.

An ultrasensitive fluorescence immunosensor based on silver nanoparticles@ nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (Ag NPs@N/CQDs) and exploiting the quenching effect of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) was fabricated for squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) detection. Ag NPs@N/CQDs were immobilized on the surface of an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode and then coupled with the primary antibody of SCCA. The primary antibody captured SCCA on the ITO electrode, forming an immune complex with the secondary antibody labeled with gold nanoparticles, thereby constructing a sandwich-structured fluorescent sensor. Using the prepared sensor, a new method for detecting trace amounts of SCCA in human serum was established. Owing to the effective quenching of fluorescence intensity of Ag NPs@N/CQDs by Au NPs, combined with the presence of a sandwich immune structure, the sensor exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity. The method demonstrates a linear range of 2 − 4000 fg mL −1 and a detection limit of 0.87 fg mL −1 . The the recovery rate for real serum samples was between 94.45 % to 103.43 %.

Bamboo with the outstanding properties, such as good mechanical strength, fast growth rate and low growth cost, is considered as one of utilitarian structural nature materials. But bamboo is easy to get mildewed resulting in disfiguration and fungi corrosion. In this work, a facile method was developed to improve the mildew-proofing capability of bamboo. Mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) with biomimetic adhesion function and highly active functional groups was employed to immobilize highly-dispersed Ag and TiO 2 nanoparticles on the surface of bamboo via an in-situ growth method. Integrating the uniform PDA coating, photocatalytic function of TiO 2 nanoparticles and bactericidal role of Ag nanoparticles, the mildew-proofing capability of bamboo is enhanced significantly. The results show a non-covalent interaction is more likely to account for the binding mechanism of PDA to bamboo. And the prepared bamboo samples show good photocatalytic performance and have excellent resistance leachability. Meanwhile, the mildew-proofing property of prepared bamboo sample was greatly improved.

A time- and energy- saving solution-based chemical precipitation method was developed to synthesize leaf-like CuO nanostructures. The morphology and size of the leaf-like CuO nanostructures could be simply manipulated by controlling the type and concentration of precursors, and the oriented attachment mechanism is responsible for the formation of leaf-like shape. With the concurrent reduction reaction and at appropriate concentration, CuO/Ag microspheres could be prepared and the growth mechanism is proposed. These two structures could serve as effective photocatalyst for the degradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradiation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, compared to pure CuO nanostructures, the photodecomposition activity of CuO/Ag microspheres increases by 42.9% due to plasmon-enhanced light absorption.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a polymeric material with good biocompatibility, excellent hydrophilicity, and a large number of hydroxyl groups. However, due to its insufficient mechanical properties and poor inhibition of bacteria, it has a lack of applications in wound dressings, stent materials, and other fields. In this study, a simple method was used to prepare composite gel materials: Ag@MXene-HACC-PVA hydrogels with a double-network structure were prepared using an acetal reaction. Due to the double cross-linked interaction, the hydrogel has good mechanical properties and is resistant to swelling. The adhesion and bacterial inhibition were enhanced due to the addition of HACC. In addition, the strain sensing properties of this conductive hydrogel were stable, and the GF (specification factor) was 1.7617 at 40–90% strain. Therefore, the dual-network hydrogel with excellent sensing properties, adhesion properties, antibacterial properties, and cytocompatibility has potential applications in biomedical materials, especially as a tissue engineering repair material.

In the realm of disease diagnostics, particularly for conditions such as proteinuria and hemoglobinuria, the quest for a method that combines accurate, label-free detection of protein compositions and their conformational changes remains a formidable challenge. In this study, we introduce an innovative Ag/Au plasmonic hybrid coupling nanoarray (Ag/Au PHCN) architecture marked by sub-10 nm interparticle gaps. These nanoarrays, leveraging plasmonic hybrid coupling and synergistic enhancement mechanisms, create a plethora of uniform surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) hotspots. The Ag/Au PHCN substrates demonstrated unparalleled sensitivity in the unmarked detection of hemoglobin (HGB), bovine serum albumin (BSA), and cytochrome C (Cyt.C) in bodily fluids, incorporating the advantages of high sensitivity, high reproducibility, durability, recyclability, and biocompatibility. Notably, the detection limits for BSA and HGB are unprecedented at 0.5 and 5 ng/mL, respectively. This achievement sets a new benchmark for label-free protein detection using two-dimensional nanostructures. Crucially, the Ag/Au PHCNs possess the novel capability to discern protein conformational changes post denaturation, underscoring their potential in probing protein functionalities. Most importantly, these nanoarrays can differentiate between normal and proteinuria-affected urine samples and monitor protein content variations over time, heralding a new era in clinical diagnostics with particular relevance to proteinuria and hemoglobinuria detection.

Minocycline (MNC), as a second-generation semi-synthetic derivative of tetracycline, poses a potential carcinogenic threat to organisms in water, therefore high efficient removal of MNC is becoming a crucial key for water quality safety. This study has been successfully synthesized Ag/Ce bimetallic–doped MOF materials with diverse morphological characteristics by using microwave digestion and solvothermal methods, and it was demonstrated a significant adsorption potential in MNC from aqueous solutions. The characterization results were revealed that Ce exhibits oxygen vacancy enrichment as the central metal in MOFs, while Ag was distributed on carbon framework in the form of Ag 0 NPs, both of morphological features were provided more active sites for adsorption. The Ag/Ce–MOFs was achieved 98.26 % exceptional MNC adsorption efficiency at pH 9, which was followed a multilayer exothermic chemisorption mechanism. The results were shown that the maximum adsorption capacity of Ag/Ce-MOFs was 476.2 mg/g in Langmuir model, which was much more substantially surpassed than Ce–MOFs. In addition, the adsorption process was primarily mediated through hydrogen bonding, ligand interactions and amidation reactions. Furthermore, the Ag/Ce–MOFs exhibited the excellent regeneration performance and broad applicability, which was shown remarkable adsorption potential in removing various other pharmaceutical contaminants in water. In summarization, the synthesized Ag/Ce–MOFs by microwave digestion and solvothermal technology, were demonstrated the board promising prospects in efficient MNC removal in water treatment applications.
