Aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a promising alternative route to produce renewable biodegradable plastics, which has stimulated intense interest in recent years. Supported gold catalysts have shown great potential for this reaction, but the selectivity and stability need to be improved. In addition, the requirement for base additives makes the process less effective and sustainable. Herein, highly active and selective Au–Ag bimetallic nanoclusters supported on MgAl-hydrotalcite (HT) were developed for HMF oxidation to FDCA under base-free reaction conditions using molecular oxygen as the oxidant. The presence of small amounts of Ag (0.034–0.065 wt%) in Au25 clusters greatly enhanced the catalytic reaction rates and selectivity for HMF tandem oxidative steps, leading to both high conversion of HMF (>97%) and high yield of FDCA (>95%). Besides, the catalyst stability was also enhanced by the addition of Ag. The characterization results suggested that the substitution of Ag atoms modified the electronic structure of Au while likely maintaining the primary geometry. Thus, a significant synergistic effect could be observed over trace Ag modified Au–Ag bimetallic nanoclusters. The present work provides new insight into the alloying effect, and helps understand highly efficient Au-based catalysts for aerobic oxidation of biomass derived molecules under base-free conditions.

Flower-like Ag was formed by nanosheet self-assembly as a SERS-active substrate and was utilized for the preparation of flower-like Ag@molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor. Based on the combination of the molecular imprinting technique and SERS technology, the flower-like Ag@MIPs with high sensitivity and excellent selectivity were used as SERS substrates for the detection of glibenclamide. The imprinted layer could effectively protect the flower-like Ag from oxidation and thereby may improve the stability of the SERS substrate. The intensities of the characteristic peaks obtained for the flower-like Ag@MIPs were higher than that of flower-like Ag. By applying the flower-like Ag@MIPs as an efficient and ultra-sensitive SERS platform, glibenclamide was quantitatively detected in trace concentrations as low as 1 ng mL−1. Furthermore, the SERS enhancement for the flower-like Ag@MIPs was due to the synergetic effect between electromagnetic enhancement and chemical enhancement. We believe that this reliable method can open up new opportunities for practical chemosensor or biosensor applications.

A composite film was prepared by mixing NaLuF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ up-conversion luminescent material with commercial P25, and a scattering layer composed of flower-like TiO 2 was added on to the composite film (UC/P25) to form a double-layer composite film (UC/P25 + FT). An AgNO 3 solution was irradiated by ultraviolet light to deposit nano-Ag particles on the prepared double-layer film, and a nano-Ag modified double-layer film (UC/P25 + FT + Ag) was finally obtained. The synergistic effect of the three improved methods conferred the UC/P25 + FT + Ag film with a wide spectral absorption range, strong light-scattering ability, and strong light absorption capability, which greatly improved the photoelectric performance of the film. The maximum photoelectron conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells with the UC/P25 + FT + Ag photoanode reached up to 8.14%, which increased by 32.36% compared with that of the pure P25 film photoelectrode .

This paper introduces a novel hybrid material, MoS 2 @Ag@PA, with a core–shell structure aimed at improving the fire safety and critical properties of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). The incorporation of 2% of this hybrid material results in a remarkable enhancement in both thermal conductivity and tensile strength of EVA composites, increasing by 52.4% and 22.6%, respectively. Furthermore, the inclusion of 2% of this material leads to a significant reduction in the peak of heat release rate, total heat release, and total smoke production of the EVA composites by 36.2%, 28.1%, and 29.7%, respectively, compared to pure EVA. This indicates a substantial improvement in fire safety, mechanical properties, and thermal conductivity of the EVA composites. The enhanced flame retardancy of the EVA composites is primarily attributed to the synergistic effect of various substances within the hybrid material. Therefore, the design of these hybrids presents a promising approach to enhance the overall performance of EVA.

Bacterial contamination is a very serious health and environmental problem, with the main source of toxicity being lipopolysaccharides in the cell walls of Gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, the development of effective analytical methods is crucial for the detection of lipopolysaccharide content. This work facilitates the efficient generation of precisely adjustable dual-mode signals for LPS detection in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) by inducing anisotropic morphological evolution of Au@Ag nanocubes (Au@AgNCs) through poly-cytosine (poly-C) DNA. In the presence of LPS, the released probe triggers rolling circle amplification (RCA) and generates cyclic poly-C DNA, which subsequently induces the etching of Ag composites on Au@AgNCs. This etching process leads to changes in both the morphology and composition of Au@AgNCs composite materials, resulting in a decrease in SERS signals. The poly-C DNA was subsequently adsorbed with Ag + and then reduced to silver nanoclusters (AgNC) by NaBH 4 , serving as an ECL signal source. Under optimal experimental conditions, both SERS and ECL demonstrated linear ranges spanning from 1 fg/mL to 1 ng/mL, with detection limits of 0.29 fg/mL and 0.14 fg/mL, respectively. Moreover, the SERS-ECL dual-mode sensor facilitates the accurate discrimination of Gram-negative bacteria in diverse real samples. It demonstrates promising applications in the areas of food safety, water quality monitoring, and clinical bacterial detection.

Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanosheets are promising nanofillers for improving the properties of polymers, but low-cost, facile and green methods need to be further explored to meet the requirements for large-scale production of modified MoS 2 nanosheets. Here, we developed a new idea that is, to prepare MoS 2 @Ag by modifying the surface of MoS 2 using radiative reduction. It is noteworthy that the modified MoS 2 @Ag can effectively improve the mechanical strength of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) composites. In addition, the addition of MoS 2 @Ag was able to substantially improve the flame-retardant properties of EVA, resulting in a significant reduction in the amount of heat and smoke released from its combustion. When two parts of MoS 2 @Ag were added, the peak heat release rate and total smoke release of EVA/2.0MoS 2 @Ag composites were reduced by 29.7% and 39.2%, respectively, compared with that of pure EVA. At the same time, the toxic gases (e.g., CO) produced by the combustion of EVA composites were significantly reduced, which indicates an improvement in their fire safety.

Photocatalytic property of nano Ag is weak and its enhancement is important to enlarge its application. Herein, a novel strategy of constructing silver g-C 3 N 4 biochar composite (Ag-CN@BC) as photocatalyst is developed and its photocatalytic degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) coupled with peroxydisulfate (PDS) oxidation process is characterized. Characterization result showed that silver was evenly embedded into the g-C 3 N 4 structure of the nitrogen atoms format, impeding agglomeration of Ag by distributing stably on biochar. In optimum condition, BPA of 10 mg/L could be degraded completely at pH of 9.0 with a 0.5 g/L photocatalyst, 2 mM PDS in Ag-CN@BC-2 (Ag/melamine molar ratio of 0.5)/PDS system (99.2%, k = 4.601 h −1 ). Ag-CN@BC shows superior mineralization ratio in degrading BPA to CO₂ and H₂O via active radical way, including holes ( h ⁺), superoxide radicals (•O 2 ⁻ ), sulfate radicals (SO 4 • ⁻ ), and hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Proper amount of silver can be dispersed effectively by gC 3 N 4 , which is responsible for improving the visible-light absorbing capability and accelerate charge transfer during activation of PDS for BPA degradation, while biochar as carrier in the composite is supposed to enhance the photoelectric degradation of BPA by reducing the band gap and increasing the photocurrent of Ag-CN@BC catalyst. Ag-CN@BC exhibits excellent catalyst stability and photocatalytic activity for treatment of toxic organic contaminants in the environment.

Diacetyl is a flavoring agent commonly used to enhance food aroma. However, excessive levels can pose health risks, making rapid and sensitive detection crucial for food safety. In this study, multifunctional cobalt oxide tetraoxide@silver nanoflowers (Co 3 O 4 @Ag NFs) were synthesized to enhance the photocatalytic coloration of diacetyl, enabling a simple and highly sensitive colorimetric/SERS dual-channel sensor. Co 3 O 4 @Ag NFs serve three key functions: First, Co 3 O 4 acts as a photocatalyst, improving catalytic efficiency and detection sensitivity. Second, Ag nanoparticles enhance light scattering and reflection, prolonging light interaction with diacetyl molecules and accelerating the reaction. Third, the strong electromagnetic field generated by Co 3 O 4 @Ag NFs creates numerous hotspots, making it an effective and highly sensitive SERS substrate. The sensor achieves detection limits of 10 × 10 −6 mol/L for colorimetric detection and 3.0 × 10 −12 mol/L for SERS, providing a simple, rapid, sensitive, and accurate way for diacetyl detection and offering potential for future food safety analysis.

The treatment of heavy metal ions in wastewater is of great significance for protecting the environment and human health. To improve the power density and removal efficiency of thermally regenerative ammonia electro-deposition battery and expand the concentration range of effective wastewater removal, a new method for removing Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Ag(I) from wastewater while generating high-power electric energy by using waste heat, called bimetallic thermally regenerative electro-deposition battery (B-TREB), was constructed in this work. For Cu(II)-containing wastewater with a wide concentration range of 0.002–0.3 M, the removal efficiency (RE) of Cu/Zn-TREB could reach more than 90%. With the initial concentration of Cu(II) being increased from 0.0005 to 0.3 M, the peak power density was enhanced from 20 to 546 W m −2 . Besides, for 0.01 M and 0.1 M Co(II) wastewaters, the REs of Co/Zn-TREB were 85% and 90%, respectively. The RE of Ni/Zn-TREB was 88% for 0.01 M Ni(II) wastewater. These results illustrated that B-TREBs could remove many kinds of heavy metal ions in the wastewaters while maintaining a high removal efficiency of ~90% over a wide concentration range, and the produced high-power electricity could provide energy for further treatment or other uses.

The extremely large volume variation and poor electronic conductivity of Si anode materials for lithium ion batteries have seriously hampered their performances and practical applications. SiOx materials are regarded as ideal alternatives to high-capacity Si anode materials for Li-ion batteries, since the generated Li2O matrix from Li–SiOx reactions can effectively accommodate the large volume swing of Si. Furthermore, micron-sized particles with much smaller surface area always present higher initial coulombic efficiency and tap density than nanomaterials. Based on the above considerations, SiOx microparticles with homogeneously-embedded Si nanocrystals and nanopores were fabricated by magnesiothermic reduction in this work and were further modified by high-electronic-conductivity and flexible polyaniline (PANI)–Ag shell. Profiting from these favorable features, the obtained SiOx–PANI–Ag micron-composites exhibited better cycling performances (with a reversible capacity of 1149 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles), good initial coulombic efficiency and tap density in comparison with SiOx-based materials in other works. This study promotes us to exploit advanced Si- or Sn-based materials for Li ion batteries and preparing micro/nano complex structures for promising applications.

Pesticide residues in tea pose significant health risks to consumers. This research focuses on developing a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor using a solid-phase substrate made of Au@Ag@PVP nanoparticles (NPs), combined with machine learning chemometric techniques, for the rapid detection of trichlorfon, carbendazim, and clothianidin in tea. Au@Ag@PVP NPs were immobilized onto anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) filter membranes via vacuum filtration, yielding densely packed NPs that generate strong electromagnetic hot spots, thereby increasing SERS sensitivity. Raman spectra of tea infusions containing different concentrations of pesticides were acquired and analyzed using three machine-learning algorithms. Among these models, competitive adaptive reweighted sampling-partial least squares (CARS-PLS) demonstrated superior predictive performance, with Rc = 0.9950, Rp = 0.9942, and RPD = 9.2893 for trichlorfon; Rc = 0.9955, Rp = 0.9942, and RPD = 9.1010 for carbendazim; and Rc = 0.9981, Rp = 0.9957, and RPD = 9.7523 for clothianidin. This approach enables the rapid, quantitative detection of pesticide residues with minimal sample preparation and high sensitivity, representing a practical method for monitoring tea safety.

The development of multifunctional electronic information materials that combine electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and infrared (IR) thermal camouflage is crucial for the smooth and safe operation of electronic devices. However, it is challenging for traditional shielding materials to simultaneously meet these high demands. Here, based on the strategy of interfacial bonding and compositional synergy, we successfully prepared a multilayer composite film via layer-by-layer vacuum filtration combined with a hot-pressing process using modified aramid nanofibers and MXene nanosheets as substrates. The film features aramid nanofibers-polypyrrole (ANF-PPy) as the matrix and Ag-MXene as the functional filler, and its unique multilayer structure enables it to generate multiple losses during electromagnetic wave transmission. In addition, the in-situ grown Ag nanoparticles effectively extend the MXene layer spacing and significantly enhance electromagnetic wave scattering efficiency. The film with a thickness of only 33 µm exhibits excellent EMI shielding performance (average EMI SE of 66.75 dB and SSE/t of 38432.54 dB cm 2 g −1 ). The tight integration of the multilayer structures also endows their high IR reflectivity. Accordingly, this research lays the foundation for the creation of multifunctional protective materials that have great potential for both military and civilian purposes.
