Lead–silver (Pb–Ag) anodes in the zinc electrowinning industry face severe challenges of electrochemical corrosion and sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics. Precoating a protective MnO2 layer is an effective strategy to enhance their performance. However, conventional MnO2 precoating processes require high temperatures (≥80 °C) and suffer from drawbacks such as poor coverage, loose structure, and insufficient active sites. This study proposes a novel low-temperature MnO2 coating strategy tuned by K+ intercalation, enabling the controllable fabrication of high-performance MnO2 coatings from zinc electrowinning waste electrolytes. The results reveal that introducing an appropriate amount of K+ modulates the redox behavior of Mn2+ and the electrochemical crystallization process, leading to the formation of a uniform MnO2 film on the Pb–Ag anode. The intercalation of K+ into the MnO2 lattice promotes the generation of abundant surface vacancies, which enhance the OER performance. This work presents a scalable solution for low-temperature coating of MnO2 film on Pb–Ag anodes, enabling efficient and clean zinc electrowinning, and opens a new avenue for designing energy-efficient MnO2-based anode materials through additive intercalation tuning.

Due to hypoxia, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), dense bacterial biofilms, and complex inflammatory microenvironment, chronic diabetic wound healing presents a huge challenge. Currently, sustainable treatments for this multifaceted problem have not been found. Here, microalgae and silver (Ag)─fulvic acid (FA) NPs are used to develop a multinetwork hydrogel (C@Ag─KGCM) based on oxidized konjac glucomannan (OKG) for the treatment of diabetic chronic wound (DCW). The lower hydrogel carries microrobots of Chlamydomonas rheinhardtii (C. rheinhardtii) , which continuously release bio-oxygen under light irradiation to alleviate hypoxia in deep wound tissues. The upper layer carries Ag─FA NPs formed by Ag + and FA self-assembly chelation complex, which can effectively inhibit bacterial growth and remove bacterial biofilms through photothermal-therapy-based Near - Infrared (NIR) 808 nm. C. reinhardtii and Ag─FA NPs synergistically scavenge excessive ROS. Therefore, a new concept of “three-pronged strategies” that addresses multiple problems in the wound microenvironment of diabetic patients has been proposed. Histological analysis of wound tissues shows that the C@Ag─KGCM bilayer hydrogel can promote chronic diabetic wound healing and tissue regeneration, indicating promising potential for its treatment of DCW healing.

Dual-mode sensing can enhance detection reliability by cross-validating results from distinct signals. Herein, a colorimetric and turbidimetric dual-mode sensing platform based on Cu 2 O@Ag nanozyme with robust oxidase-like activity is developed for point-of-use (POU) detection of demeton. The Cu 2 O@Ag efficiently catalyzes the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), producing concurrent absorbance and turbidity signals. Demeton blocks active sites and suppresses catalytic activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Based on the principle, two modes for POU testing of demeton are developed. The first mode is based on a smartphone-assisted colorimetric swab and shows a linear range of 50 - 4000 ng/mL with the detection limit of 0.190 ng/mL. The other is based on a portable turbidimeter and exhibits a linear detection range of 50 to 3000 ng/mL with a detection limit of 2.997 ng/mL. The approaches are successfully validated in real food samples including baby cabbage, lettuce, cilantro, and tea leaves. This work presents a rapid, low-cost, and instrument-flexible dual-mode sensing strategy for on-site analysis of demeton residue. Also, the dual-mode detection based on colorimetric and turbidimetric signals for the first time offers a novel insight for dual-mode sensing.

MAO of Ti–2.5Ag yields micro-porous TiO₂ with enhanced roughness and hydrophilicity. • MAO porous structure sustains sub-cytotoxic Ag⁺ multiphasic release over 7 days. • MAO + Ag surface reduces P. gingivalis biofilm despite enhanced hydrophilicity. • Protein leakage confirms Ag⁺–SH membrane disruption as the bactericidal mechanism. • Ti–2.5Ag + MAO offers dual infection resistance with osseointegration-safe surface. Titanium implants remain susceptible to bacterial colonization by Porphyromonas gingivalis , a keystone pathogen in peri-implantitis, and although silver (Ag) incorporation and micro-arc oxidation (MAO) have each been explored individually, their combined effect on low-silver titanium alloys against anaerobic oral pathogens remains poorly characterized. This study fabricated CP-Ti, Ti–2.5Ag (Ti+Ag), and MAO-treated Ti–2.5Ag (Ti+Ag+MAO) surfaces and evaluated their physicochemical properties and antibacterial performance against P. gingivalis over seven days. MAO generated a micro-porous TiO₂ oxide layer (32.6% porosity) incorporating phosphorus and silicon, significantly increasing roughness Ra = 0.0846 µm; p < 0.01) and hydrophilicity (contact angle: 36.33°–41.34°; p < 0.05) versus CP-Ti. Cumulative Ag⁺ release from Ti + Ag + MAO reached 0.844 ppb by day 7, approximately twice that of Ti + Ag (0.399 ppb; p < 0.05), following a multiphasic release profile. Against P. gingivalis , Ti + Ag + MAO achieved adherent bacterial inhibition exceeding 91% by day 7 (versus 73% for Ti+Ag), with dead-cell percentages rising from 57.56% to 76.25% (p < 0.001 vs. both comparators). Crystal violet and protein leakage assays confirmed sustained anti-biofilm activity and progressive membrane disruption (p < 0.01–0.001), consistent with the observed Ag⁺ release kinetics. These findings demonstrate that MAO synergistically amplifies the antibacterial efficacy of Ti–2.5Ag through combined anti-adhesive and sustained ion-release-mediated mechanisms, establishing Ti + Ag + MAO as a promising multifunctional strategy for reducing peri-implant infections.

Herein, a novel ratiometric molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor (MIP-RECS) based on Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) and ionic liquid (IL) co-modified Ti 2 NTx (AgNPs@Ti 2 NT x @IL) was developed for the determination of patulin (PAT). Firstly, the AgNPs@Ti 2 NT x @IL nanocomposite, was prepared by an in situ reduction and self-assembled method, and then, was cast on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to build an electrochemical interface with excellent conductivity and high surface area. After that, the MIP was deposited on the nanocomposite modified GCE by the electro-polymerization technique, with thionine (Thi) and PAT as functional monomer and template molecules. In the sensing platform, the oxidation peaks generated by Thi and AgNPs were used as reference and probe signal, respectively. The introduction of reference effectively eliminates the influence of the matrix effect. At the same time, the oxidation signal of the Ag probe is greatly improved by the high conductivity and large surface area of the AgNPs@Ti 2 NT x @IL nanocomposite. Therefore, the MIP-RECS presented a wide linear range, a very low low limit of detection (LOD), together with high selectivity and excellent repeatability. Additionally, the linearity ranges and LODs of the sensor can be controlled by the amount of Ag, highlighting its robustness in different types of real samples. Furthermore, this sensing model can be used to sensitively detect other residues with poor redox activity, such as imidacloprid and catechol, highlighting its versatility and universality.

To address the low-temperature and electromagnetic pollution challenges for integrated electronics in extreme-cold radar stations, this study develops a multifunctional composite designed to synergistically integrate photothermal conversion, phase-change energy storage, and microwave absorption, enabling renewable solar energy use for adaptive thermal management and electromagnetic protection. The multifunctional material n-22/Ag@Fe-C@SiO 2 is fabricated by in-situ growing MIL-100(Fe) on a 3D silver nanowire aerogel, followed by carbonization, impregnation with n-docosane (n-22), and SiO₂ encapsulation. The AgNW framework provides a 3D conductive/thermal network, while the MOF-derived Fe-C modulates the dielectric constant. The Fe-C component enhances the specific surface area and enables precise modulation of the dielectric constant. The n-22/Ag@Fe-C@SiO 2 exhibited an energy storage density as high as 180.1 J/g. The synergistic effect among the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of silver, the conjugation effect of graphitic carbon, and the multistage reflection within the 1D@3D hierarchical sponge structure led to an outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency of 90.13%. The MOF-derived Fe-C on AgNWs synergistically enhances microwave absorption by boosting interface polarization and magnetic loss. The resulting n-22/Ag@Fe-C composite achieves an impressive minimum reflection loss of −57.87 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.28 GHz, demonstrating strong potential for integrated thermal management and electromagnetic protection.

The study provides a proof of concept for the first time that unique palladium–gold (PdAu) and palladium–silver (PdAg) nanodendrites are bifunctional catalytic active sites for formate oxidation reactions (FORs) and formate dehydrogenation reactions (FDRs). The unique nanodendritic structure was developed via a simple galvanic displacement reaction for the direct growth of PdAu and PdAg nanodendrites on a nickel foam (PdAu/NiNF and PdAg/NiNF). These PdAu/NiNF and PdAg/NiNF electrodes exhibited 2.32 and 1.59 times higher specific activity than that of the commercial Pd/C electrode and promising stability toward FORs. Moreover, the PdAu/NiNF and PdAg/NiNF nanodendrites were also highly active and selective catalysts for hydrogen generation from a formate solution with turnover frequency (TOF) values of 311 h−1 and 287 h−1 respectively. Impressively, a passive air-breathing formate fuel cell with PdAu/NiNF used as an anode can yield an open-circuit voltage of 1.12 V and a peak power density of 21.7 mW cm−2, which outperforms most others reported in the literature. PdAu and PdAg nanodendritic catalysts supported on a nickel foam demonstrate an open structure and uniform catalyst distribution and offer a promising nanoalloy for air-breathing formate fuel cells and on-site chemical hydrogen production systems.

Conventional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) molecular detection are based on hard and brittle substrate, which are not suitable for in-situ detection of analytes adsorbed on nonplanar surfaces. Here, we report a simple biomimetic synthesis method to fabricate lotus leaf mastoid structured AgNPs micro/nanoarrays as reliable SERS substrate. By ideal replicating mastoid structure of lotus leaf into a flexible and transparent PDMS film, followed by depositing plasmonic AgNPs, a powerful chemical sensor with high sensitivity and multiplex detecting capability is demonstrated. The employ of periodic mastoid structure array endows the sensor with high signal repeatability (RSD ∼ 8.6 %), solving the general repeatability problem of SERS substrates. In addition, the detailed designed flexible and transparent PDMS substrate is capable of identifying trace analytes on curved surfaces with excellent durability. In the proof-of-concept experiment, a limit of detection (LOD) of (10 −5 M to 10 −7 M) was achieved on a portable Raman device for three common pesticides residues (thiram, fonofos and triadophos) on dendrobium leaves and stem according to the molecular fingerprint, indicating its excellent in-situ detection capability. Further, the multiplex detection ability of the Ag/PDMS film is also demonstrated by analyzing the mixture of four typical analytes. Benefiting from its high signal uniformity, this flexible Ag/PDMS substrate also showed good quantitative detection capabilities.

Accurate measurement of hydrogen peroxide is of great significance in monitoring human diseases and environmental safety. At present, there are a variety of testing methods, among which the use of electrochemical sensors to accurately measure hydrogen peroxide has gradually become a research hotspot. In this article, phytic acid (PA) with dual functions of doping and cross-linking and HCl with strong ionization capacity was introduced as dopants to co-doping polyaniline, and polyaniline hydrogel with a three-dimensional network structure was prepared. The influence of the HCl/PA co-doping ratio on conductive polyaniline hydrogel (CPAniH) was explored. The synthesis process and mechanism of HCl/PA-CPAniH were analyzed and explained. In addition, the conductivity and mechanism of HCl/PA-CPAniH, as well as the hydrogel characteristics were characterized and studied. A new electrochemical sensor based on polyaniline hydrogel and silver nanoparticles was constructed to detect hydrogen peroxide. The sensor has a good linear relationship, a wide linear range, and a high-detection limit for H 2 O 2 . In addition, it also shows that HCl/PA-CPAniH is a good interface material for electrochemical sensors and has a certain application potential.

The reliable and accurate detection of unauthorized additives in food is significant to prevent health risks. In recent years, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with fast, simple, and sensitive capabilities has been widely used for food safety analysis. In order to detect illegally added dye molecule rhodamine 6G and small molecule melamine in food, we have proposed a fast, convenient, and label-free SERS detection technology using flower-like Ag/ZnO as the SERS substrate. The structure and morphology of the flower-like Ag/ZnO were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometery, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. We investigated the SERS effect and sensitivity of flower-like Ag/ZnO toward rhodamine 6G and melamine. The synergistic effect of flower-like Ag/ZnO provides high SERS activity for the detection of rhodamine 6G and melamine at the lowest detection concentrations of 0.5 ng mL−1 and 1.0 ng mL−1, respectively. Therefore, flower-like Ag/ZnO with good sensitivity and uniformity has potential for improving the detection of illegal food additives.

Herein, a NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)@Ag@AgCl (NM@Ag@AgCl) stacked core–shell heterojunction with Z-scheme carrier transfer mechanism was developed to fulfil the goal of synchronous reactions of CO 2 reduction and H 2 O oxidation. In detail, the NM@Ag@AgCl was obtained by in-situ loading the AgCl as the shell-inorganic semiconductor on the octahedral NM as the core-organic semiconductor, followed by in-situ transforming part of the AgCl shell into the plasmonic Ag nanoparticles using a photo-reduction method. As a result, the interface effects of core–shell architecture majorized by the Ag electronic mediator can favor the transmission of photogenerated carriers and reduce electron transport resistance; while the plasmonic Ag mediated Z-scheme mode with a giant internal electronic field provided a strong driving force to recombine the carriers with weak redox ability, reserving the carrier with strong redox ability on the NH 2 -MIL-125-core and AgCl-shell for the simultaneous reactions. The CO and H 2 O 2 yields of the optimal NM@Ag@AgCl were 6.02 and 5.43 μmol⋅g −1 ⋅h −1 , which were 3.31 and 4.02 times that of the NM, respectively. This study furnishes a novel thread for the design of core–shell organic–inorganic heterojunction with high interfacial charge transfer for realizing the simultaneous reactions.

Infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) material with a concurrently wide band gap and significant NLO coefficient in a single crystal is an incompatible but addressable challenge. Hence, for the first time, the AgGaS 2 structure evolved into an Ag-based sulfide system integrating dual s -block elements, guiding the discovery of two NLO crystals named AMgAgGa 6 S 11 (A = K, 1 ; Rb, 2 ). Structurally, title phases possess a novel NLO functional motif [AgGa 6 S 17 ] assembled by two C 2 -type supertetrahedra through a shared [AgS 4 ] tetrahedron, in which the electropositive cations A + and Mg 2+ are embedded. Thus, compounds 1 and 2 display emulative band gaps (3.15 and 3.25 eV, exceeding that of 2.65 eV in AgGaS 2 ) toward optimizing the laser-induced damage thresholds (3.1 and 3.2 × AgGaS 2 @1064 nm). Remarkably, the noncentrosymmetric phases 1 and 2 exhibit moderate second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses (0.6 and 0.7 × AgGaS 2 @1910 nm), the greater-than-commercial half of the AgGaS 2 . To the best of our current knowledge, an experimental birefringence of 1 and 2 (0.029 and 0.027, @546 nm) is first observed in quinary ordered chalcogenides , indicating that samples 1 and 2 meet phase-matching conditions at the incident laser of 1910 nm. All these observations demonstrate that crystals 1 and 2 can become prospective NLO materials. This research will pave the way for discovering excellent IR NLO crystals with wide band gaps and impressive NLO coefficients by incorporating multiple strong electropositive elements into chalcogenides .
