The reasonable design of g-C 3 N 4 (CN)-based homojunctions is a promising method to improve the photocatalytic performance. Controlling the interfacial charge-transport process is challenging. Herein, Ag and P-doped CN (ACN and PCN) were selectively synthesized. The band edges of CN move downward continuously with increasing Ag or P doping concentration. CN/4ACN (type-II), CN/8PCN (S-scheme) and 4ACN/8PCN (S-scheme) were formed by suitable energy level matching, and their charge transfer mechanisms were confirmed via VB-XPS, UPS and ESR analysis. In the presence of the hole sacrificant triethanolamine (TEOA), both CN/4ACN and 4ACN/8PCN exhibited better H 2 evolution reaction (HER) rate than CN/8PCN due to the improvement in conductivity caused by Ag doping. However, only CN/8PCN and 4ACN/8PCN exhibited HER coupled with tetracycline (TC) degradation performance owing to the high redox potential of the S-scheme. Benefiting from a good carrier transport property and high redox potential, 4ACN/8PCN exhibited the best HER rate (2305.6 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 ) with TEOA as the hole sacrificant, which was 11.7 times than that of pure CN, respectively, and achieved a high HER rate (117.8 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 ) coupled with simultaneous TC degradation. This study provides a basic understanding of CN homojunctions, which shows potential for expanded applications in photocatalytic H 2 evolution and pollutant degradation.

Photo-assist uranium extraction from fluorine-containing uranium wastewater by building semiconductor-plasma material heterostructure is a forward-looking strategy, which not only effectively accelerates F-U separation via the LSPR effect but also impacts the intensity of binding between U (VI) and site. Here, we developed an amino-rich Ag-NWs/NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) (AgNW/N-M(Ti)) hybrid nanowires with LSPR effect for photo-assist uranium extraction. Accordingly, the AgNW/N-M(Ti) hybrid nanowires presented 90.4% removal efficiency for U(VI) without a sacrificial agent at the U: F molar ratio of 1:20. By virtue of In-situ KPFM, we identify hot electrons generated over AgNW were transferred to amino-rich N-M(Ti) to efficiently reduce the U(VI) adsorbed on the N-M(Ti), which effectively enhances the excellent uranium removal performance of AgNW/N-M(Ti) hybrid nanowires. This strategy may open a paradigm for the development of advanced heterojunctions with the LSPR effect as catalysts for photo-assisted uranium extraction from fluorine-containing uranium wastewater.

Defect engineering, exposed crystal facets, and Z-scheme mechanism are promising strategies to greatly promote photocatalytic performance. Herein, the ZnFe 2 O 4 (ZFO) with Ag-doping, oxygen vacancies and different exposed crystal facets was firstly prepared by a facile hydrothermal strategy. Subsequently, the MoS 2 flowers were in-situ grown on the surface of the prepared Ag-doping ZFO (Ag-ZFO) for fabricating MoS 2 /Ag-ZFO Z-scheme heterojunction by hydrothermal strategy. Due to the synergistic effects of defect engineering (Ag-doping and oxygen vacancies), exposed crystal facets, and Z-scheme mechanism, the photocatalytic activity for tetracycline degradation was evidently improved. More importantly, the prepared MoS 2 /Ag-ZFO (T) also show excellent photocatalytic performance under real environment water. This work offers a new insight for future design and development of highly active photocatalysts.

A highly sensitive multilayer interlaced silver (Ag) nanosheet (MISN) film was prepared on a PPy@PEDOT:PSS film via an electrodeposition method for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications. After the PPy@PEDOT:PSS film was pretreated with ascorbic acid solution, many sparse Ag nanoparticles (NPs) could be directly reduced on the surface of the PPy@PEDOT:PSS film in AgNO3 solution. Then, the MISN film was directionally grown along the surface of sparse Ag NPs by using an electrochemical galvanostatic method to form a Ag/PPy@PEDOT:PSS film for a SERS substrate. The results indicated that with the increase in electrodeposition time, the density of Ag nanosheets was also increased for boosting the SERS effect. Accordingly, owing to the directional growth of Ag NPs, the increase in the length–width ratio of single Ag nanosheets would further promote the SERS signal of the substrate. Moreover, the maximum enhancement factor of the SERS substrate could reach to 12,478, and the minimum limit of detection of melamine solution was down to 5.42 ng/mL. The SERS sensitivity of the Ag nanosheet film reached 100.65. This method of preparing the SERS substrate provides a novel and robust strategy for the low-cost and high-sensitivity detection in biomedicine, drugs, and food.

Photocatalytic technique has been widely accepted as a promising and effective candidate for eliminating antibiotic and pathogen pollutants in aquatic environment. Herein, a novel O, K co-doped g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst embedded with single-atom Ag (denoted as Ag/OKCN) was successfully constructed to achieve the enhanced photocatalytic degradation and disinfection efficiency under visible light irradiation. The optimal Ag/OKCN-6 could eliminate 80.4 % of tetracycline (TC) within 60 min with a rate constant of 0.0259 min −1 , which was 4.98 times of pristine g-C 3 N 4 . Meanwhile, Ag/OKCN-6 could also completely inactivate>7-log CFU·mL −1 of Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) by efficient disruption of cell membranes. The synergistic effect of O, K co-doping and single-atom Ag embedding contributed to an extended light response, preeminent separation and transfer of photoexcited charges, prolonged carrier lifetime as well as ameliorative hydrophilicity, which was conducive to the excellent photocatalytic performance. Radical trapping and electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments validated that superoxide radicals ( • O 2 − ) were crucially responsible for the superior photocatalytic activity. This work provides a facile route to construct multi-strategy modified g-C 3 N 4 -related photocatalysts for efficiently eliminating aquatic environmental pollutants.

A new bifunctional intelligent nanosensing platform based on graphene-like titanium carbide MXene (Ti 2 C MXene)/Au–Ag nanoshuttles (NSs) for both electrochemical and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) intelligent analysis of ultra-trace carbendazim (CBZ) residues in tea and rice coupled with machine learning (ML) was successfully designed. Ti 2 C MXene was synthesized by selectively etching Al layers of Ti 2 AlC with hydrofluoric acid and high-temperature calcination . Ti 2 C MXene/Au–Ag NSs prepared by the ultrasonic dispersion of graphene-like Ti 2 C MXene into Au–Ag NSs solution under dark conditions displayed large and rough surface, enhanced conductivity, excellent electrochemical response, prominent Raman enhancement, and high stability. The ML via different algorithms such as artificial neural network, support vector machine, and relevance vector machine (RVM) for the intelligent analysis of CBZ was contrasted and discussed. RVM displayed more superiority for the electrochemical analysis of CBZ in a wide linear range of 0.006 – 9.8 μM with low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.002 μM and SERS detection of CBZ in the wide linear range of 0.033 – 10 μM with low LOD of 0.01 μM. This will provide a new bifunctional intelligent sensing platform via different ML algorithms for improving accuracy of sensor via mutual verification of two or more methods of detection and a new bifunctional nanosensing platform based on the development of graphene-like nanohybrid for food and agro-products safety.

Mesoporous calcium-silicate nanoparticles (MCSNs) are excellent biomaterials for controlled drug delivery and mineralization induction. In this study, MCSNs were loaded with low-dose silver ion (Ag+) and Triton X-100 (TX-100) as the M-AgTX to achieve both enhanced antibacterial properties and low cytotoxicity for dentin disinfection. The physicochemical property, biocompatibility, infiltration ability into dentinal tubules, anti-bacterial ability against both planktonicEnterococcusfaecalis(E. faecalis) and its biofilm on dentin, effects on dentin microhardness and in vitro mineralization property were systematically investigated. Results confirmed that the MCSNs and M-AgTX nanoparticles showed typical morphology of mesoporous materials and exhibited sustained release of chemicals with an alkaline pH value over time. M-AgTX also exhibited excellent biocompatibility on MC3T3-E1 cells and could eliminate 100% planktonicE. faecalisafter 48-h treatment. On dentin slices, it could enter dentinal tubules by ultrasonic activation and inhibit the growth ofE. faecalison dentin. M-AgTX could completely inactive 28-dayE. faecalisbiofilm. TEM confirmed the destruction of cell membrane integrity and Ag+infiltration into bacteria by M-AgTX. Besides, dentin slices medicated with M-AgTX nanoparticles displayed an increased microhardness. After being immersed in SBF for 7 days, apatite crystals could be observed on the surface of the material tablets. M-AgTX could be developed into a new multifunctional intra-canal medication or bone defect filling material for infected bone defects due to its sustained release profile, low cytotoxicity, infiltration ability, enhanced anti-bacterial and mineralization features.Keywords:mesoporous;nanoparticle;Enterococcus faecalis;silver;Triton X-100;root canal disinfection

By increasing the pH value of the reaction solution and introducing a small amount of ascorbic acid, Ag/Au nanoparticles with small tips and two surface plasmon resonance (SPR) modes have been prepared. The formation of the two SPR modes results from the different shell and core Au/Ag ratios, which relies on the enhanced dealloying rate of the shell and the weakened cavitating rate of the core under high pH conditions. Then, these Ag/Au nanoparticles have been used in the ultrasensitive detection of Hg2+ and Pb2+ based on the resultant absorption intensity decrease of peaks I and II, which originates from the specific dissolution of Ag and the accelerated speed of the reaction between Na2S2O3 and Au, respectively. The results showed an excellent limit of detection (LOD) of 5 nM for Hg2+ and 1.4 nM for Pb2+, and linear ranges from 30 to 400 nM and from 3 to 180 nM, respectively. Meanwhile, we believe that these bimetallic nanoparticles have widespread applications in sensing and modulating pH based on the dealloying rate of the shell and the cavitating rate of the core which can be extended to the synthesis of other dual-functional metallic nanoprobes.

A novel ternary nanohybrid comprising Ag nanoparticles anchored on black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNS) supported on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) has been synthesized for the first time. UV–Vis spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results revealed that BPNS with highly active P atoms on its surface served as a strong reductant to reduce Ag precursor and the emerging Ag atoms were consequently deposited on its surface. The Ag-BPNS/GO nanohybrid showed excellent photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of methylene blue under solar light irradiation. Broad spectrum response of BPNS, effective trapping of the electrons of Ag nanoparticles and high stability of Ag-BPNS on GO surface contributed the enhanced photocatalytic performance. A plausible mechanism has been proposed to explain the enhanced photocatalytic performance of the Ag-BPNS/GO nanohybrid.

A disposable Ag–graphene sensor was developed for rapid and sensitive in-situ detection of polar antibiotics in water using electrophoretic preconcentration (EP) and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The Ag–graphene sensor was fabricated by depositing Ag–graphene nanocomposites synthesized through a facile one-pot method on the disposable screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). SERS properties and detection applicability of the developed sensor were systematically investigated. It is shown that the polar antibiotics can be selectively adsorbed on the oppositely charged sensors after applying different potentials during the EP procedure, and the SERS signals of antibiotics with an effective amplification can be achieved with proper time of preconcentration. Moreover, the Ag–graphene sensor could facilitate the molecule adsorption through weak π–π interactions between graphene and antibiotics, further improving the sensitivity of SERS detection. Under the optimum EP conditions, the representative SERS spectra of a mixed solution containing four different antibiotics can be obtained within 10 min, and each antibiotic is easily distinguished by its characteristic peaks with a sub-nM detection level. The results demonstrate that the proposed disposable Ag–graphene sensor based on EP–SERS can be used for rapid and sensitive in-situ detection of polar antibiotics in aqueous samples without a pre-separation step.

Extending the UV response of anatase TiO2 photocatalysts into the visible light range can play a pivotal role in promoting the practical applications of these catalysts. Nitrogen and carbon co-doped, silver loaded anatase TiO2 (Ag@NC–TiO2) single-crystal nanosheets dominated by {001} facets were prepared for the first time using leaves as the nitrogen and carbon source by a facile, low cost method. The size of the Ag particles on NC–TiO2 nanosheets can be tuned from 1.5 nm to 15 nm using a photo-reduction strategy. The synthesized Ag@NC–TiO2 nanosheets show higher photocatalytic activity in the photodecomposition of organic pollutants compared to NC–TiO2, TiO2 and P25 under visible light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic efficiency was ascribed to a synergistic effect between N, C and Ag. In addition, the formed Ag@NC–TiO2 heteronanosheets are highly dispersible in aqueous solution and are capable of efficient catalysis for the reduction of p-nitrophenol. The present synthesis gives a promising method of forming non-metal co-doped, metal nanoparticles (NPs) loaded anatase TiO2 with dominant {001} facets and for broad applications in catalysis and photocatalysis.

Pollution resulted from heavy metal ions have absorbed much attention, and it is of great importance to develop sensitive and simultaneous determination method for them with common technologies without highly sensitive instruments. We prepared a new and functional core-shell magnetic nano-material, Fe@Ag@dimercaptobenzene (Fe@Ag@DMB), by a one-step method with sodium borohydride as the reducing agent and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were used for characterisation. The mercapto functional groups on the newly synthesised magnetic nanoparticles could interact with Cd 2+ , Pb 2+ , and Hg 2+ ions in water samples and then efficient extraction for Cd 2+ , Pb 2+ , and Hg 2+ ions was achieved. DDTC-Na solution was a good elutent for elution of these ions from Fe@Ag@DMB nanoparticles . Based on these, a sensitive method was developed for simultaneous preconcentration and determination of the aforementioned ions using magnetic Fe@Ag@DMB nanoparticles as the magnetic solid phase extraction adsorbent prior to high performance liquid chromatography coupled with variable wavelength detection. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limits of the three metal ions were in the range of 0.011–0.031 μg L −1 , and precisions were below 2.37% (n=6). The proposed method was evaluated with real water samples, and excellent spiked recoveries achieved indicated that the developed method would be a promising tool for monitoring these heavy metal ions in water samples.
