The etching of gold nanorods/nanobipyramid, or silver-coated nanorods/nanobipyramid inducing plasmon changes represents an efficient strategy to improve the performance of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). However, the effect of shape on the sensitivity was negligible, especially the thickness of coated silver shell. Here, we propose a plasmonic ELISA for multi-colorimetric detection of CRP based on the etching of Ag-coated Au nanobipyramid (Au [email protected] ). The effect of silver shell thickness on the sensitivity of plasmon peak shifting was investigated by experiments and DDA calculations. The relationship between the Ag shell thickness and the sensitivity of plasmon peak shifting was obtained. Our results reveal that the thickness of coated Ag shell acts as a key factor in the multi-color change of Au [email protected] etching. It is found that Au [email protected] with medium Ag shell thickness and rod-like shape has the higher sensitivity and is suitable for sensing. At the optimized most sensitive Ag shell, the detection limit of proposed plasmonic ELISA for CRP was determined to be 0.09 ng/mL with a spectrometer in the range from 0.09 ng/mL to 25 ng/mL. Importantly, the visual detection limit was 0.78 ng/mL, which allows the differential diagnosis with the naked eye. Compared with traditional ELISA with the monochromatic intensity variations, the multi-color ELISA proposed in this study has a large linear range and rich color variation for high-sensitivity and naked-eye semi-quantitative detection.

In this work, a 3D lignosulfonate composited poly(vinyl formal) (PVF) sponge impregnated by BiVO 4 /polyaniline (PANI)/Ag ternary photocatalyst (PLS-BiVO 4 /PANI/Ag) was designed and fabricated. The synergistic adsorption-photodegradation of five fluoroquinolones (FQs) antibiotics onto PLS-BiVO 4 /PANI/Ag was investigated. Incorporating lignosulfonate as a carrier on PVF sponge improved its structural properties and enhanced its adsorption performance toward FQs. The BiVO 4 /PANI/Ag ternary photocatalyst was well-dispersed and tightly bound to the composited sponge, thus it efficiently degraded the adsorbed FQs through surface photodegradation. PLS-BiVO 4 /PANI/Ag achieved >90% removal efficiency for all examined FQs within 2.0 h in a batch system, while it maintained a steady 80% removal efficiency for 30.0 h in a continuous dynamic treatment system. Photoelectric characterizations and ESR results showed that BiVO 4 /PANI/Ag was consistent with the type II heterostructure and effectively improved the utilization of visible light and the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The hole was the dominant active species in the degradation of FQs, while the main degradation pathways included defluorination, decarboxylation and destruction of piperazine ring. The prepared composited sponge is thus characterized by its high performance, convenient operation, eco-friendliness, and practicality in real water treatment systems since it undergoes self-purification and is easily recovered from water without mass loss.

A new facile fabrication process of the polymer/Ag core-shell microspheres is demonstrated via the reverse breath figure method accompanied by in situ reduction. In contrast to traditional approaches, which require the prior preparation of polymer microspheres, the star-shaped polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) amphiphilic block copolymers solution containing AgNO 3 is cast under ethanol vapor for the formation of polymer/AgNO 3 core-shell microspheres in one step. The influence of polymer molecular structures, solvent, non-solvent and metal salt on the morphology of polymer microspheres was analyzed. Then the AgNO 3 can be reduced in situ to form Ag nanoparticles on the surface of polymer microspheres, which resulted in the formation of polymer/Ag core-shell microspheres. The reduced Ag nanoparticles were homogeneously deposited on the surfaces of polymer microspheres, which can exhibit good performance in the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The polymer/Ag core-shell microspheres substrate showed a high detection sensitivity (enhancement factor 2.49 × 10 6 ) with excellent uniformity and reproducibility for Rhodamine 6G (R6G) (relative standard deviation of the intensity at 612 cm −1 was 6.19%＜20%). The proposed strategy is facile to implement and thus a promising new method for the preparation of polymer/metal core-shell microspheres.

It is necessary to effectively separate photocatalytic materials from water bodies and reuse catalysts for industrial wastewater treatment. Herein, a novel nanofiber membrane with enhanced light absorption and reusability of photocatalytic materials was prepared. The three-dimensional porous structure of the nanofibers helps the photocatalyst efficiently degrade pollutants. Specifically, a high-efficiency photocatalyst carrier with a nanofiber structure (PAN/PU/β-CD@Ag nanofiber membrane) was prepared by electrospinning and a simple silver plating process, and then ZnO NPs were synthesized in situ on the nanofiber membrane during the hydrothermal process. Under visible-light irradiation, the ZnO-loaded PAN/PU/β-CD@Ag nanofiber membranes exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance for the degradation of methylene blue (MB, 71.5%) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH, 70.5%). Additionally, a possible pathway of charge migration in this system was proposed. This design may provide a new idea for the preparation of visible-light photocatalytic nanofiber membranes and their treatments of wastewater containing dyes and hormones.

In order to solve the problem of low thermal conductivity of hierarchical porous carbon-based (HPC) composite phase change materials, a new method was proposed in this paper, in which HPC was modified with polydopamine (PDA) and silver nanoparticles successively, and then incorporated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to form shape-stabilized phase change composite material (SSPCM). The HPC was prepared by self-sacrificing template method using sucrose and sodium bicarbonate as starting materials. The micro structure, thermal conductivity, thermal stability, chemical compatibility and Photo-thermal conversion capability of the SSPCM were analyzed. The results showed that the SSPCM prepared from the support material modified by PDA and silver nanoparticles still had good chemical compatibility. Besides, the thermal conductivity of SSPCM was significantly improved by 58% compared to the original material, showing superior thermal properties. It was worth noting that the photo-thermal conversion capability of the SSPCM was significantly higher than that of the original material. The SSPCM synthesized on the basis of functionalized hierarchical porous carbon had promising applications in photo-thermal conversion and thermal energy storage and transformation.

Bimetallic oxides with spinel structure show great prospects in the photocatalysis owing to many active sites. Herein, a novel 500NiCo 2 O 4 @CdS–5%Ag composite was fabricated via a feasible strategy. Interestingly, the combination with NiCo 2 O 4 could significantly enhance the absorption ability of CdS for visible light. Benefiting from the formation of heterojunction structure between NiCo 2 O 4 and CdS, the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes was remarkably restrained. As an effective mediator, deposition of Ag could further promote the transfer of photogenerated charge carriers, thereby accelerating the reaction rate. Meanwhile, light absorption capacity of composite was also improved, owing to the surface plasmon resonance effect of metallic Ag. More importantly, 500NiCo 2 O 4 @CdS–5%Ag composite with great stability displayed an excellent performance in the photocatalytic degradation of OFX, and its highest removal efficiency was as high as 99.14%. Possible degradation pathways of OFX were given, and most of OFX could be degraded into CO 2 , H 2 O and other by-products with no toxicity. Significantly, the separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers followed indirect Z-scheme heterojunction mechanism. The O 2 − , OH and 1 O 2 were main active species in photocatalytic reaction system. All in all, current work inspired some new ideas for designing novel photocatalytic system in wastewater treatment .

The diffusion limitation owing to the long and narrow pore structure in traditional ZSM-5 zeolite could restrain the adsorptive desulfurization performance towards thiophene sulfur compounds from fuels. Herein, ZSM-5 zeolite nanocrystals were successfully fabricated using steam-assisted gel crystallization strategy to control the size of zeolite particles within 70 ∼ 160 nm. Compared to traditional micron ZSM-5, ZSM-5 zeolite nanocrystals could effectively reduce the diffusion pathway, enlarge the specific surface area, and increase exposure of adsorption sites, which could enhance the desulfurization performance. ZSM-5 nanocrystals with a mole ratio SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 of 200 exhibited a satisfactory desulfurization efficiency, and the breakthrough capacity attained 0.0509 mmol S/g adsorbent. After ZSM-5 nanocrystals were ion-exchanged with NH 4 + and Ag + , both mesoporous characteristics and the Lewis acid (L-acid) sites were enhanced, which promoted the adsorption desulfurization performance. Furthermore, nanocrystalline ZSM-5 and Ag/ZSM-5 also exhibited acceptable regeneration performance. This study is expected to provide an effective strategy and a facile method to prepare nanocrystalline ZSM-5 based adsorbents for the development of efficient desulfurization materials.

Novel mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with superior CO 2 /N 2 separation properties are of great importance for post-combustion CO 2 capture from flue gas . Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as one of the most attractive porous fillers for MMMs fabrication, are considered to provide a solid molecular sieving mechanism for enhancing CO 2 /N 2 selectivity. However, it causes the reduction in gas permeability and limits its further industrialization. Herein, we proposed a new strategy for filler functionalization by doping silver ions (Ag + ) into UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles through the double-solvent method and used for the preparation of advanced MMMs. The double-solvent method is benefits for the enrichment of Ag + in the hydrophilic pores of UiO-66-NH 2 . As a result, the prepared novel MMMs called Ag + @UiO@PIM-1 with the polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) as polymer matrix , show outstanding CO 2 permeability. According to the mixed gases (CO 2 /N 2 = 10:90) permeation experiments under 25 °C and 2 bar, the membrane with 30%Ag + @10%UiO loading achieves more than 65% increase in CO 2 /N 2 selectivity (∼30) and 120% in CO 2 permeability (>15,000 Barrer) compared to the pristine PIM-1 membrane. By optimizing the Ag + doping amount and Ag + @UiO loading content, the separation performance exceeds the 2019 CO 2 /N 2 upper bound. To figure out the separation mechanism, the pore texture properties and CO 2 affinity of the functional filler (Ag + @UiO) together with the membrane structure were characterized by XPS , PXRD , SEM, gas sorption , etc. The synergistic mechanisms by combing CO 2 facilitated transport and molecular sieving from pore regulation were identified to enable advanced CO 2 /N 2 membrane separation .

Toluene gas-phase oxidation is a green, chlorine-free production process for benzaldehyde but its conversion efficiency is still unsatisfying due to the lack of highly efficient catalyst. Here the selective oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde over V-Ag-Ce/TiO 2 under an air atmosphere was investigated. The catalyst was prepared by impregnation and characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), N 2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), H 2 temperature programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR), O 2 temperature programmed desorption (O 2 -TPD), and NH 3 temperature programmed desorption (NH 3 -TPD). The amount of oxygen vacancy and acid of the catalyst can be tuned through adjusting the V:Ag:Ce ratio. Over the optimum catalyst (V:Ag:Ce = 4:2:1, molar ratio), 92% benzaldehyde selectivity with a 27% toluene conversion can be obtained at 550 °C. Medium amounts of oxygen vacancy (0.43) and acidity (0.10 mmol/g) are found to be conducive to the conversion of toluene to benzaldehyde. This study has important theoretical guiding significance for improving conversion efficiency from toluene to benzaldehyde by gas-phase aerobic oxidation.

A novel catalytic system for effective photocatalytic inactivation of Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) was constructed by anchoring Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) on silane coupling agent (SCA) pretreated TiO 2 nano-tube arrays (Ag/SCA/TiO 2 NTAs). Morphology and structural analyses revealed that SCA could disperse AgNPs evenly on TiO 2 NTAs, thus inducing a superior surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect. Ag/SCA/TiO 2 NTAs catalyst exhibited excellent inactivation performance when in the presence of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and visible light (VL), with 6-log E. coli was completely inactivated within 60 min, which was 5.3, 12.5 and 13.2 times higher than that of Ag/SCA/TiO 2 NTAs/VL, PMS/VL and Ag/SCA/TiO 2 NTAs/PMS/dark systems, respectively. Additionally, the photocatalyst exhibited a highly reusable property, with the inactivation performance almost unchanged after ten cycles of uses with minimal Ag leaching. The inactivation mechanism analysis demonstrated that both radical (SO 4 •- , OH) and non-radical (h + , 1 O 2 ) pathways involved in E. coli inactivation, and SCA played a pivotal role in the production of reactive species. Chloride ions (Cl − ) greatly enhanced the inactivation efficiency, while bicarbonate (HCO 3 − ) and phosphate (H 2 PO 4 − ) showed an inhibitory effect. Humic acid (HA) displayed a dual effect on inactivation performance, where the low concentration of HA facilitated the bacteria inactivation, while the higher dose suppressed bacteria inactivation. Moreover, the system exhibited excellent inactivation performance in tap water . This work first used SCA as the binder to fix AgNPs on TiO 2 NTAs for VL photocatalytic inactivation of bacteria with the assistance of PMS, which was expected to provide some insights into the practical treatment of drinking water .

Microplastics are persistent pollutants that accumulate in the environment and can cause serious toxicity to mammals. At present, few technologies are able to quantitatively detect chemicals and provide morphological information simultaneously. Herein, we developed a dragonfly-wing-mimicking ZnO nanorod array decorated with AgNPs on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and photo-induced enhanced Raman spectroscopy (PIERS) substrate for trace analysis of microplastics. The Ag/ZnO@PDMS hybrid nanorod array endows the sensor with high sensitivity and signal repeatability (RSD ∼ 5.89%), ensuring the reliable quantitative analysis of microplastics. Importantly, when the noble metal–semiconductor substrate was pre-radiated with ultraviolet light, a surprising PIERS was attained, achieving an additional enhancement of 11.3-fold higher than the normal SERS signal. By combining the PIERS technology with the “coffee ring effect”, the sensor successfully discerned microplastics of polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) at a trace level of 25 μg/mL even with a portable Raman device. It was capable of identifying PS microspheres in contaminated tap water, lake water, river water, and seawater with detection limits of 25, 28, 35, and 60 μg/mL, respectively. The recovery rates of PS microspheres in four water environments ranged from 94.8 to 102.4%, with the RSD ranging from 2.40 to 6.81%. Moreover, quantitative and visualized detection of microplastics was readily realized by our sensor. This portable PIERS sensor represents a significant step toward the generalizability and practicality of quantitative and visual sensing technology.

Quinolone antibiotics have good antibacterial properties and are commonly used antibiotics in the dairy industry. Currently, the problem of excessive antibiotics in dairy products is very serious. As an ultra-sensitive detection technology, Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) was applied to the detection of quinolone antibiotics in this work. In order to classify and quantify three antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin, Norfloxacin, Levofloxacin) with highly similar molecular structures, a combination of magnetic COF-based SERS substrate and machine learning algorithms (PCA-k-NN, PCA-SVM, PCA-Decision Tree) was used. The classification accuracy of the spectral dataset could reach 100% and the results of LOD calculation were: CIP: 5.61 × 10 −9 M, LEV: 1.44 × 10 −8 M, NFX: 1.56 × 10 −8 M. This provides a new method for the detection of antibiotics in dairy products.
