As environmentally friendly compounds, lead-free perovskites have gained widespread application in the fabrication of solar cells in recent years. Among these, rudorffites such as AgBiI4 are considered as promising candidates owing to their favorable band structure and exceptional stability. However, the formation of Ag vacancies during the synthetic process poses a significant challenge, severely hindering carrier transport properties. To address this issue, we propose an Ag management (AM) strategy utilizing aliphatic ammonium, which serves multiple purposes: it enhances the solubility of AgI in the precursor solution, mitigates phase separation caused by stoichiometric mismatches during AgBiI4 film formation, and effectively passivates Ag defects. The butylamine hydroiodide (BAI) modified AgBiI4 solar cells achieved a champion power conversion efficiency of 1.97%, representing a 26% enhancement over the control device.

Numerous strategies on the application of superwettable membranes for oil/water (O/W) separation have been proposed; however, few works on one-step separation strategies and the separation mechanism of complex O/W effluents containing organic dye and bacteria have been reported. Here, an integrated strategy for O/W separation, removal, and anti-oil/bacteria/dye-fouling is firstly proposed. A hydrogel fabricated PVDF@ZnO/Ag (H-PVDF@ZnO/Ag) membrane is designed with a superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic surface and hierarchical membrane channels, which exhibits superior separation efficiency (99.4%) and flux (1700 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 ). Considering the wettability, the interface intrusion pressure influences the O/W separation. Also considering the energy and molecular kinetics, the differences in the interaction energy and mean square displacement (MSD) of the water and oil molecules with the membrane obtained by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are the internal factors influencing the O/W separation. The experimental and MD simulation results demonstrate that the high organic dye removal efficiency (>99%) is attributed to the synergistic effect between the hydrogel electrostatic adsorption and the ZnO/Ag photodegradation. The excellent anti-oil/dye/bacteria-fouling is due to the low oil adhesion, hydration layer, photodegradation, and antibacterial activity. Introducing an amino resin to the membrane increases the membrane’s tolerance and resistance to mechanical damage and chemical attack due to the intertwined cross-linking network and hydrogen bonds. The membrane also exhibits effective separation of real wastewater from jeans factory. This strategy may inspire further research on the treatment of complex O/W effluents.

Bacterial infections significantly slow the wound healing process, thus severely threatening human health. Furthermore, traditional antibiotics may promote the development of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, developing novel bactericides and therapeutic strategies for bacterial infections is important to enhance wound healing. Herein, a three-in-one bactericidal flower-like nanocomposite was assembled using Ag nanoparticles/phosphotungstic acid-polydopamine nano-flowers (AgNPs/POM-PDA). The nanocomposite exhibited photothermal therapy (PTT) when exposed to NIR light via photothermal conversion by PDA. The resultant photothermal effect accelerated and controlled the Ag + released from AgNPs. The chemodynamic therapy (CDT) was obtained via POM catalytic Fenton-like reaction. The combined PTT/CDT/Ag + treatment achieved excellent synergistic anti-bacterial activity against both gram-negative E. coli and gram-positive S. aureus . A multifunctional wound dressing was then obtained by embedding the AgNPs/POM-PDA flower-like nanocomposite into the chitosan (CS)/gelatin (GE) biocomposite hydrogel. The synergy of AgNPs/POM-PDA nanocomposites and CS/GE hydrogel remarkably accelerated wound healing in vivo due to the excellent biocompatibility, hydroabsorptivity, and breathability of the hydrogel. In this study, a multifunctional agent was developed to synergistically combat bacterial infections and accelerate wound healing.

Heterostructured bimetal nanocrystals with a component having localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) property are promising photocatalysts for a series of reactions. In this work, kinetic products of Pd-Ag with a screwdriver-like heterostructure have been successfully fabricated via the selective epitaxial growth of Ag on Pd nanowires (NWs). It was confirmed that the deposition rate ( V deposition ) of Ag is much more sensitive to the temperature, compared to the surface diffusion rate ( V diffusion ) which can be effectively reduced by the binding of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) molecules. Then the magnitude of V deposition / V diffusion has been well tailored for the formation of a kinetic growth environment. The interactions between the components of the as-prepared Pd-Ag heterostructures resulted in intensified LSPR effects. As a result, they gained better photocatalytic performance toward solvent free aerobic oxidation of toluene than Pd NWs, Ag NWs and the mixture of them. Additionally, the Pd-Ag heterostructured nanocrystals exhibited excellent catalytic stability for recycling. This work not only presents an idea for realizing kinetic growth but also supports that LSPR effect is a good tool for improving the photocatalytic activity.

In this paper, Au@Ag nanopencil is designed as a multimodality plasmonic nanoprobe based on asymmetric etching for the detection of SCN − and ClO − . Au@Ag nanopencil with Au tip and Au@Ag rod is prepared by asymmetric tailoring of uniformly grown silver-covered gold nanopyramids under the combined effect of partial galvanic replacement and redox reaction. By asymmetric etching in different systems, Au@Ag nanopencil exhibits diversified changes in the plasmonic absorption band: O 2 •− facilitated by SCN − etches Au@Ag rod from the end to the tip, causing a blue shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak as the aspect ratio decreases; while the ClO − can retain Au@Ag shell and etch Ag within rod from the tip to the end, causing a redshift of the LSPR peak as the coupling resonance weakens. Based on peak shifts in different directions, a multimodality detection of SCN − and ClO − has been established. The results demonstrate the detection limits of SCN − and ClO − are 160 and 6.7 n m , and the linear ranges are 1–600 µ m and 0.05–13 µ m , respectively. The finely designed Au@Ag nanopencil not only broadens the horizon of designing heterogeneous structures, but also enriches the strategy of constructing multimodality sensing platform.

In this study Ti/Ag/Ti tri-layer and Ti–Ag alloy films were deposited on the surfaces of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabrics by multi-target magnetron sputtering system to fabricate highly electro-conductive textiles. Before sputtering, the fabric was treated by polyacrylic acid ester (PA) to form a continuous surface on the surface of PET fabric by padding method. The as-fabricated fabrics were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. And the physical properties of the coated fabrics were evaluated by electrical conductivity, contact angle (CA), flexibility and adhesion. At last, a simple electric circuit was made with the as-treated fabric to evaluate the electrical property and explore its application further. The results of the study revealed that pretreatment with PA could form a continuous film on the surface of PET fabric. The PA-coated PET fabric with Ti/Ag/Ti fabric exhibited excellent electrical property whose electrical resistivity was only 5.1 × 10 −7 Ω m, CA of 137°. The PA-coated PET fabric with Ti–Ag alloy film exhibited a rather lower electrical resistivity of 3.4 × 10 −7 Ω m, CA of about 130°. Moreover, the samples retain ideal flexibility and adhesion. Therefore this study can broaden the application area of magnetron sputtering on discontinuous surface to fabricate electrical conductive fabric. And due to the excellent electro-conductivity, this kind of fabric will be a promising material for smart textiles.

In this work, we synthesized Au-Ag alloy nano-garlands with multiple petal-like branches and internal cavities in two steps. First, we etched silver nanospheres with HAuCl 4 to obtain Au-Ag alloy nanoshells with different shell layer thicknesses and hollow core sizes. After that, based on different nanoshells, 4-NTP was used as a shape-directing agent, HAuCl 4 and AgNO 3 as precursor raw materials, and AA as a reducing agent for the growth of petals to form Au-Ag bimetallic nano-garlands with multi-branching structure. The regulation of the branching morphology of the nano-garlands could be achieved by changing the amounts of 4-NTP and HAuCl 4 . The SERS activity of the nano-garlands could be further improved by changing the AA concentration, the size of nanoshells, and the Au/Ag ratio of the precursor raw materials. Because the bimetallic nano-garlands have hollow cavities and petal-like branches, there are couplings between the cavities and the branches, between the adjacent branches, and between the metals inside and outside of the cores, which can achieve a good enhancement of SERS. The highest SERS enhancement factor of Au-Ag bimetallic nano-garlands can reach 4.47×10 8 , which can be used as a good candidate for SERS substrate for the trace detection of biomolecules , pesticides, and other substances.

Although the substitution of Cu by Ag to suppress CuZn defects offers several advantages in overcoming the large open-circuit voltage (Voc) deficit for Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells, an excellent performance has not been achieved to date primarily due to the Fermi level pinning at the CdS/absorber interface and large recombination at the absorber/Mo interface. Herein, we developed a composition grading strategy to achieve a V-shaped Ag-graded structure with a higher Ag content on both the back and front surfaces of the (Cu,Ag)2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CAZTSSe) layer. The key advantages of this Ag-graded structure are as follows: the higher content towards the CdS/absorber interface can create weak n-type donor defects and retard Fermi level pinning, whereas the lower content at the interlayer maintains the conductivity and light absorption; moreover, the other higher content towards Mo back contact can effectively suppress the recombination and improve the utilization of long-wave incident light. By appropriately adjusting the Ag gradient, we demonstrated a significant increase in Voc, and an unexpected conversion efficiency of 11.2% was achieved. This is the highest efficiency achieved to date for Ag-substituted CZTSSe solar cells, and the result supports a new aspect that synthesis of a composition-graded CAZTSSe absorber has great potential for future research.

Exploring robust, sensitive and reliable surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates largely depends on creating a high density of hot spots. Hererin, we present the fabrication of a unique core-satellite composite, consisting of sandwich Ag/MOF/Ag nanoshells, achieved by constructing two layers of dense Ag satellites with a MOF interlayer on PMAA nanospheres. These innovative sandwich Ag/MOF/Ag nanoshells create two distinct types of plasmonic nanogaps: the interstitial space between the Ag nanoshell layers and the internanogaps between adjacent Ag satellites. This structure significantly increases the number of hot spots compared to traditional core-monolayer metal satellites, leading to enhanced SERS activity. As expected, the composites exhibit an impressive enhancement factor of 3.85 × 10 6 and a low detection limit (LOD) of 10 −9 mol/L for methylene blue. The SERS sensing performance is further validated by successfully quantifying ciprofloxacin (CIP) and paraquat (PQ) in real milk samples with LODs of 3.28 × 10 −7 mol/L for CIP and 1.71 × 10 −8 mol/L for PQ, demonstrating strong potential for ultra-sensitive detection of hazardous pollutants in foods.

An in situ strategy to understand the photocatalytic performance of Cu2O–Ag@rGO nanocomposites through interfacial photocatalysis on an optical microfiber has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The photocatalysts were conjugated on the surface of an optical microfiber immersed in an organic solution, forming an interface consisting of photocatalysts and organic molecules between the silica microfiber and the solution, which was within the evanescent field of the optical microfiber. In the photocatalytic process, the decomposition of organics changed the refractive index (RI) of the interface. The interaction between the evanescent wave and the microfiber interface modulated its optical spectrum. Therefore, the optical microfiber monitored the photocatalytic performance of the photocatalysts in real-time and in situ. The results reveal that the photodegradation efficiency of Cu2O–Ag@rGO was almost twice that of Cu2O, while the degradation rate constant was more than five times larger, because the coupling between the silver nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) enhanced the photocatalytic performance of Cu2O. By taking advantage of its miniature size and mechanical flexibility, the microfiber can directly probe a real matrix to study the local photocatalytic performance. This strategy is suitable for the evaluation of most photocatalysts and might provide a new perspective to assess the photocatalytic performance of the catalysts.

With the advantages of the multiple oxidation states and highly open crystal structures, vanadium-based composites have been considered as the promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). However, the inherent inferior electrical conductivity, low specific surface area, and sluggish Zn 2+ diffusion kinetics of the traditional vanadium-based oxides have greatly impeded their development. Herein, a novel hierarchical porous spindle-shaped Ag-V 2 O 5 with unique heterostructures was rationally designed via a simple MOF-assisted synthetic method and applied as stable cathode for aqueous ZIBs. The high specific surface area and hierarchically porous superstructures endowed Ag-V 2 O 5 with sufficient electrochemical active sites and shortened the diffusion pathways of Zn 2+ , which was beneficial to accelerate the reversible transport of Zn 2+ and deliver a high specific capacity (426 mA h g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 and 96.5% capacity retention after 100 cycles). Meanwhile, the self-built-in electric fields at the heterointerface of Ag-V 2 O 5 electrode could strengthen the synergistic coupling interaction between Ag and V 2 O 5 , which can effectively enhance the electric conductivity and maintain the structural integrity, resulting in superb rate capability (326.1 mA h g −1 at 5.0 A g −1 ) and remarkable cycling stability (89.7% capacity retention after 2000 cycles at 5.0 A g −1 ). Moreover, the reversible Zn 2+ storage mechanism was further investigated and elucidated by kinetics analysis and DFT calculations.

The increasing of 1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonoethane (HEDP) in aquatic environments poses potential harm to the environment. Herein, the materials that silver nanoparticles/nanowires (Ag NPs/Ag NWs) and Fe3O4-decorated CoAl-layered double hydroxides (LDHs-Ag NPs@Fe3O4 and LDHs-Ag NWs@Fe3O4) were synthesized and applied to the degradation of HEDP in three-dimensional electro-Fenton system. Addition of Ag-doped LDHs@Fe3O4 particles greatly increased the HEDP removal rate compared with the addition of LDHs@Fe3O4 particles. The HEDP degradation rates using LDHs-Ag NPs@Fe3O4 and LDHs-Ag NWs@Fe3O4 particles were 73.34% and 79.64%. Furthermore, based on the characterization of synthesized particles, generation of free radical and H2O2, a possible mechanism of improved oxidation performance by the LDHs-Ag NWs@Fe3O4 particles was elucidated. The LDHs-Ag NWs@Fe3O4 particles possessed excellent stability and reusability, as evidenced by the stable degradation activity of 70.53% for HEDP degradation after four successive runs.
