Coupled resonance at the noble metals and metal oxides heterogeneous interface can enhance the fluorescence of molecules. This fascinating direction provides high value for the preparation and engineering design of fluorescence sensing platforms in nucleic acid sensing, pathogen detection and biological imaging. Here, an integrated nucleic acid amplification sensor chip consists of an array of silver nanoparticles/oxygen vacancy titanium oxide (TiO x -Ag) heterostructure substrates. The femA gene of Staphylococcus aureus was amplified and detected by enhancement fluorescence on the integrated chip. The TiO x -Ag heterostructure array was prepared by a laser method, the enhanced fluorescence performance was investigated in detail using calcein as a probe. The optical, electronic structure and plasmonic local field analysis indicate the strong coupling between the fluorescence molecule and the TiO x -Ag crystal plane, which inspired the excellent fluorescence signal of calcein, with an enhancement factor of up to 5. Staphylococcus aureus was detected by the above chip with a detection limit as low as 157 cfu/mL. These methods were applied to the detection of spiked serum samples with good detected performances, providing a powerful tool for rapid and reliable diagnosis of pathogens in medical institutions.

Photocatalysis has emerged as one of the most promising technologies for formaldehyde purification owing to its green, safe, and cost-effective properties. However, most photocatalysts exhibit poor light absorption properties and exist as powders, limiting their large-scale application. To address this challenge, Ag-AgCl@TiO 2 @cellulose nanofiber porous composites were prepared by integrating the photocatalysts into a cellulose matrix through physical/chemical dual crosslinking, photoreduction, and freeze-drying. The materials exhibited excellent mechanical properties due to the hydrogen bonding and electrostatic adsorption interactions between the components. Moreover, the porous composites exhibited excellent synergistic adsorption–photocatalytic degradation performance for formaldehyde. This is attributed to the abundant polar functional groups in the cellulose nanofibers and the heterostructure formed by TiO 2 , Ag, and AgCl. The composites achieved a maximum photocatalytic degradation rate of 99.54 %. After five cycles of reuse, they still maintained a high degradation efficiency of 99.07 %, demonstrating excellent recyclability. Compared with similar materials, the synthesized porous composites performed well in terms of degradation rate, maximum degradation efficiency, and cyclic reutilization performance. In summary, this study provides an innovative approach to air purification.

Lignocellulose nanomaterials are extremely compelling in the remediation of organic wastewater, yet still present challenges regarding cost-efficiency, manufacturability, and scalability. Instead of a conventional bottom-up engineering, this study top-down designs multiporous, high specific surface area and anisotropic quaternized lignocellulose nano-sponge, based on the effectiveness of reactive deep eutectic solvent system on in-situ fibrillating sugarcane cell walls. The as-prepared sugarcane sponge reveals outstanding adsorption abilities for broad-spectrum antibiotics via a combination of intermolecular and electrostatic interactions, and serves as a desired carrier for hybrid nano-catalysts (e.g. WO 3 -Ag) with enhanced overall quantum efficiency. The developed sugarcane/WO 3 /Ag sponge integrating a functionality of adsorption enrichment with visible-light photocatalysis , can efficiently remove ∼ 99 % tetracycline/levofloxacin/norfloxacin at an initial concentration of 20 mg/L within 120 min at pH 7. The degradation pathway of antibiotics is inferred from the identified intermediates and primary active species. Additionally, the favorable mechanical strength, water stability and reusability of sugarcane/WO 3 /Ag sponge are demonstrated, which originate from the well-organized lignocellulose fibrils in in-situ fibrillated sugarcane cell wall and their intensive interactions with anchored nanoparticles. Our study offers a novel and feasible top-down nanostructure engineering strategy to manufacture high-performance lignocellulose-based nanocomposites towards environmental remediation.

The purposeful modulation of interfacial charge transfer pathways in heterogeneous structures is an innovative and feasible strategy to improve photocatalysis efficiency. However, it is often characterized by difficulties in charge separation and transport and the high charge recombination limits its applications. Herein, a Cd 0.3 Zn 0.7 S-based heterostructure of Cd 0.3 Zn 0.7 S@Ti 3 C 2 /Ag/CeO 2 was fabricated in which the efficient electron transfer route was designed by synergistic action of Z-scheme and Schottky junction. Serial characterizations and Density-Functional Theory calculations identify the Schottky junction promoted the electrons in Cd 0.3 Zn 0.7 S to transfer to Ti 3 C 2 , whereas the Z-scheme heterojunction accelerated the electrons transfer from CeO 2 to Cd 0.3 Zn 0.7 S@Ti 3 C 2 with Ag acting as the electronic intermediary. Significantly, the optimized Cd 0.3 Zn 0.7 S@Ti 3 C 2 /Ag/CeO 2 exhibited stronger photocatalytic H 2 evolution of 16.3 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 with an apparent quantum efficiency of 29.8 % at 420 nm, which was 4.2 times higher than the pristine Cd 0.3 Zn 0.7 S material. This work offers valuable insights into realizing the desired charge transfer route through artificial heterointerface and a new possibility for applying Cd 1-x Zn x S materials in photocatalytic hydrogen production.

The TiO 2 has the problems of low utilization of visible light and high photogenerated carrier recombination rate. The photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 can be significantly improved by introducing F ion and narrow band gap material Ag 2 S. When F ions are present on the {001} surface of TiO 2 , surface F ions drive positively charged holes across the {001} surface, creating a synergistic effect that promotes the separation of electron-hole pairs. During the sample composite process, a certain amount of Ag will be precipitated to form an all-solid Z-type heterojunction structure of Ag 2 S, Ag and F-TiO 2 , which can improve the electron-hole separation efficiency. The results of XPS characterization confirmed the migration of F ion and the precipitation of Ag. The Ag 2 S/F-TiO 2 composite sample was referred to as AT for short, and the corresponding ratio was 1:10,1:20,1:30,1:40, the optimal sample AT 1:20 degraded 95.6% tetracycline hydrochloride within 2 hours. This work simultaneously realizes TiO 2 self-modification (synergistic effect of F ion migration and TiO 2 {001} crystal surface) and composite modification (formation of all-solid Z-type heterojunction), a new idea of studying TiO 2 self-modified cooperative heterostructures is proposed, and the good application potential of AT nanocomposites in photocatalytic water treatment technology is demonstrated.

ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus (DM), a multifactorial chronic health condition, affects a sizable portion of the global population, and more people are expected to contract it in the future, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Diabetes mellitus can be treated with conventional drugs, but most of the medications have a variety of side effects. The use of nanocomposites (NCs) to treat diabetes has been prioritized in this scenario. In this study, Ag-CuO NCs were synthesized using a green method using Mentha spicata leaf extract and their physicochemical properties were investigated with a variety of analytical techniques. According to an extensive in vivo and in vitro analysis of the biological activities of as-synthesized Ag-CuO NCs, Ag-CuO NCs possess effective antibacterial, anti-diabetic, and anti-hyperlipidemic characteristics. When Ag-CuO NCs are administered to STZ-induced animals in a concentration-based manner, the blood levels of inflammatory and liver marker enzymes are reduced and antioxidant enzyme levels are increased. Besides, the carbon-coated Ag-CuO NCs exhibit excellent sensing activity with a limit of detection of 86 nM against Vitamin-C. This study reveals that Ag-CuO NCs derived from Mentha spicata may, therefore, prove to be a very successful anti-diabetic and biosensor candidate in the future.

With the increased deployment of power modules in demanding conditions, sintering materials, especially composite sintering materials, have raised growing interest due to their cost-effectiveness and suitability. Therefore, this study explores the viability of Cu–Ag composite sintering material, focusing on solvent influence through microstructure and mechanical behavior analysis. Micron-sized particle-based Cu–Ag composite pastes were designed and compared using eight solvents (four epoxy-free and four epoxy-added) based on fluidity and thermal stability. The sintered joints' performance, assessed through shear strength analysis, showed comparable values to pure silver sintering for both epoxy-free and epoxy-added samples. Optimized samples from each solvent system underwent reliability analysis, demonstrating that Cu–Ag joints with epoxy resin exhibited significantly higher shear strength after high-temperature storage and thermal cycling tests. Micromorphology and elemental composition analysis revealed differences in aging mechanisms, primarily attributed to variations in porosity due to oxide formation and pore filling by epoxy resin under different solvent systems. Further nanoindentation characterization of micromechanical properties, including hardness, modulus, and creep properties, during high-temperature aging, established constitutive models for insights into reliability evolution. In conclusion, the optimized epoxy-added Cu–Ag sintered joints proposed in this study demonstrated exceptional reliability and acceptable micromechanical properties, presenting a promising option for high-temperature power packaging.

Power density is one of the important factors affecting the performance of electrode materials, which is hampered by ion/electron transport and agglomeration build-up problems. In this study, a novel 3D NiMnO 3 /Ni(OH) 2 /Ag NWs composite is synthesized via the introduction of Ag NWs. The introduction of Ag NWs synergistically influences the crystal structure and micro-morphology of the NiMnO 3 /Ni(OH) 2 /Ag NWs composite. The unique pentatwinned structure of Ag NWs facilitates the enhancement of the (110) and (101) crystal planes, which induces the movement of Ni 2p 3/2 , leading to a significant increase of Ni 2+ concentration in the composites. This ensures an abundance of ion adsorption sites, generating materials conducive to reactive activity. This new structure increases the density of active sites and establishes a conductive network, which optimizes the electron and ion transport paths, greatly reduces the diffusion resistance at the electrode-electrolyte interface, and improves the charge transfer efficiency, thus effectively increasing the specific capacity and energy density of the material. The NiMnO 3 /Ni(OH) 2 /Ag NWs//AC device exhibits a remarkable specific capacity of 350.478 mAh·g −1 at a current density of 0.01 A cm −2 , and its Ragone plot reveals a peak energy density of 81.107 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 1699.871 W kg −1 . Additionally, it achieves an energy density of 60.532 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 8490.072 W kg −1 . This study explores the design and application of 3D structured electrode materials, which effectively improves the specific capacity of the materials and provides a new idea to further improve the energy density of supercapacitors.

Phenylglyoxylic acid (PGA) as styrene metabolite is an indicator of styrene occupational exposure. In this work, a novel anodic and cathodic dual-emitting electrochemiluminescence (ECL) ratiometric method for PGA detection is developed using persulfate (S 2 O 8 2- ) and silver metal organic frameworks (Ag-MOFs) amplification strategy. PGA can enhance anodic ECL intensity of Ru(bpy) 3 2+ /PGA system nearly 2 times and cathodic ECL intensity nearly 16 times. S 2 O 8 2- and Ag-MOFs as co-reactant accelerators promote redox reaction of PGA and enhance ECL intensity. Ag + can catalyze S 2 O 8 2- to produce SO 4 ·- , which can convert Ag + to Ag 2+ . Furthermore, SO 4 ·- can accelerate the transformation of Ag + generating more Ag 2+ . Compared with Ru(bpy) 3 2+ system, cathodic ECL intensity of Ru(bpy) 3 2+ /K 2 S 2 O 8 /Ag-MOFs/PGA system gets enhanced nearly 170 times and anodic ECL intensity gets enhanced nearly 6 times. First electro-reduction and then electro-oxidation using scanning potential direction of 0→− 1.3 V→1.4 V→0 also simultaneously enhanced cathodic and anodic ECL nearly 2 times. Thus this ECL ratiometric method for PGA detection has high sensitivity with LOD of 0.8 nM and rapid response once PGA is added in an instant (several seconds). More importantly, anodic and cathodic dual-emitting improves selectivity and avoid interference in complex detection.

The conductivity of AgNWs electrodes can be enhanced by incorporating Ag grids, thereby facilitating the development of large-area flexible organic solar cells (FOSCs). Ag grids from vacuum evaporation offer the advantages of simple film formation, adjustable thickness, and unique structure. However, the complex 3D multi-component structure of AgNWs electrodes will exacerbate the aggregation of large Ag particles, causing the device short circuits. To address this issue, the relationship between the surface energy of modification layers and the morphology and conductivity of ultrathin Ag on AgNWs is studied. The amorphous ZnO (α-ZnO) layer promotes Ag growth from Volmer–Weber (VW) to Frank–Van der Merwe (FM), reducing particle aggregation. The 1 µm thick PET/AgNWs/Ag grid electrode with α-ZnO exhibited low contact resistance and high conductivity. As a result, 1 cm 2 FOSCs with Ag grids achieve a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.01%. As the area increased to 4 and 9 cm 2 , the performance of the monolithic FOSCs is 14.70% and 12.69%, showing less efficiency loss during upscaling. The 8 and 16 cm 2 modules constructed by series and parallel connection of the monolithic devices yield PCEs of 14.47% and 12.92%, respectively. This study offers valuable insights into constructing Ag grids on AgNWs electrodes for highly efficient large-area FOSCs.

The unreasonable use of organic dye leads to excessive residues in environmental water, which seriously threatens human health and the natural environment. In this paper, a spherical flower-like magnetic Fe3O4@CoNi layered double hydroxide@silver nanoparticle (Fe3O4@CoNi LDH@Ag NPs) SERS substrate was successfully fabricated via electrostatic self-assembly and applied for the sensitive detection of methylene blue (MB) in environmental water. The rapid concentration and separation of the SERS substrate from the water sample could be achieved using an external magnet. The Fe3O4@CoNi LDH@Ag NPs could not only rapidly enrich the trace analytes because of their outstanding absorptive capacity but also effectively enrich the cationic dye molecules to the “hot spots” through electrostatic interactions, resulting in higher SERS selectivity. Excellent SERS performance was observed, which exhibited a high enhancement factor (EF) of 5.81 × 108 and a low detection limit (LOD) of 1 × 10−11 mol L−1 with R6G as the probe molecule, and also possessed exceptional reproducibility and stability for at least 28 days. The Fe3O4@CoNi LDH@Ag NPs were used to detect MB, which displayed wide linearity (1 × 10−10 to 1 × 10−4 mol L−1) and high recoveries (89.68–103.72%). This Fe3O4@CoNi LDH@Ag NP substrate offers easy separation and selective detection of cationic dyes, providing potential application for the detection of environmental contaminants.

A novel composite hydrogel prepared from polyacrylamide (PAM), polydopamine-modified montmorillonite (PDA@MMT), graphene and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), loaded with Ag NPs, was prepared for the catalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) using in situ reduction. HPC significantly enhanced the dispersion of PDA@MMT within the hydrogel, endowing the hydrogel with excellent mechanical properties, with stress and strain of 1773 kPa and 4005 %, and elastic modulus and toughness of 43.4 kPa and 29.54 MJ/m 3 , respectively. The introduction of graphene (GN) increased the rate of electron transfer during the catalytic process and significantly improved the catalytic efficiency, with catalytic rate constants of 1.360 and 0.803 min −1 for MB and CR at 20 °C, respectively. The hydrogels were endowed with excellent antimicrobial properties due to the introduction of Ag NPs. In the future, this hydrogel is expected to play an important role in environmental pollution control.
