A fast and efficient Au (I) recovery adsorption method from an actual leaching solution of Cu 2+ -en-S 2 O 3 2- is presented. Aminophosphonic acid derivatized polyacrylonitrile fibers (PAN-NP), prepared with triethylenetetramine and phosphoric acid by chemical grafting, were used as the adsorbent. The adsorbent was well characterized by FT-IR, SEM, TGA and XPS. The effects of contact time, pH, temperature, and Au (Ⅰ) concentration were also investigated. PAN-NP can rapidly capture Au(S 2 O 3 ) 2 3– (20 min) and has a maximum adsorption capacity of 14.68 kg/t. Compared with -SH modified, PAN-NP has better stability and without oxidized. The adsorption process was described based on the Langmuir isothermal model ( R 2 > 0.99). Thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption of Au(S 2 O 3 ) 2 3– on PAN-NP was exothermic ( ΔH θ = −9.906 kJ/mol) and adsorption mechanism involved a collective effect resulting the anion exchange of Au(S 2 O 3 ) 2 3– with –RNH 3 + H 2 PO 3 - , electrostatic attraction between –RNH 3 + and Au(S 2 O 3 ) 2 3– and complexation of P = O with Au (Ⅰ). Besides, PAN-NP-Au can be effectively eluted by sodium sulfite. Importantly, in the Cu 2+ -en-S 2 O 3 2- actual leaching solution, the PAN-NP can efficiently recover Au (I) with an adsorption percentage of up to 97 % at a the solidliquid ratio of 1:50, thereby affording a satisfactory application result. This is a meaningful method for recovering Au (Ⅰ) from thiosulfate solution.

Rationally design and exploration of bifunctional electrocatalysts with excellent performance towards water splitting is significant for hydrogen energy economy. Herein, a novel Au/Ni 3 S 2 heterostructure catalyst that was composed of self-supported Ni 3 S 2 nanosheets decorated with Au nanoparticles on Ni foam was fabricated. The bifunctional catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activities towards oxygen evolution reaction (230 mV @ 10 mA cm −2 ) and hydrogen evolution reaction (97 mV @ 10 mA cm −2 ) in 1 M KOH. The electrolytic tank using the bifunctional catalyst only required 1.52 V to deliver 10 mA cm −2 and sustained for 60 h, outperforming most of advanced bifunctional catalysts. The X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations validated that the strong electronic coupling at the interface could modulate the electronic structure of Ni 3 S 2 , thereby optimizing the free energies of the adsorbed intermediates. This work provides an atomic-scale insight into the structure-properties relation of a promising heterostructure catalyst for water splitting.

A novel benzothiazole modified chitosan ( BCS ) with excellent Au(III) adsorption performance and selectivity was prepared as adsorbents. The structure and morphology of the adsorbents were characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD and XPS. The adsorption property of the adsorbents for Au(III) were investigated under different reaction time, initial concentration of Au(III), temperature, pH and coexisting ions. The maximum adsorption capacity of BCS for Au(III) was 1072.22 mg/g at 298 K and optimal pH = 4, which was better than that of other adsorbents reported in literature. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm models fit the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir equations. This shows that the adsorption process of Au(III) is a monolayer chemical adsorption. The adsorption process can proceed spontaneously and belong to the endothermic reaction according to the thermodynamic results. The excellent adsorption performance is mainly attributed to the ion exchange and chelation of the nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen groups on the adsorbent with gold ions. Significantly, BCS has excellent selectivity toward Au(III) and remarkable recycle performance. With the high adsorption capacity, excellent selectivity and outstanding reusability, the BCS adsorbent could be a promising candidate to adsorb Au(III) from wastewater.

Plasmonic nanostructures have great potential for improving the radiation properties of emitters. Here, the plasmonic Au nanorods-PVA nanocomposite films are used to uniformly improve the photoluminescence of Tb/Eu co-doped PMMA film within the local micro-region. Under the excitation of 292 nm, the maximum enhancement factor is 37.2-fold for emission at 612 nm and 21.6-fold for emission at 545 nm. Moreover, the finite different time domain simulations are developed to further explain the experimental results. It is indicated that the modulation of luminescence can be attributed to the increase of the local density of optical states through the Purcell effect and the improvement of the energy transfer efficiency between Tb and Eu. Under the excitation of 360 nm, the maximum enhancement factor is about 71.5-fold. In this case, the Au nanorods are mainly used for modulating the emission process at 612 nm, which deduced a greater enhancement factor at 612 nm. This study provides a deep understanding of the interactions between rare earth ions co-doped materials and plasmonic nanostructures, building a bridge to fabricate a useful platform for several applications, such as thin film-based detectors and sensors.

Trivalent Au ions are easily reduced to be zerovalent atoms by coexisting reductant reagents, resulting in the subsequent accumulation of Au atoms and formation of plasmonic nanostructures. In the absence of stabilizers or presence of weak stabilizers, aggregative growth of Au nanoparticles (NPs) always occurs, and unregular multidimensional Au materials are consequently constructed. Herein, the addition of nanomole-level mercury ions can efficiently prevent the epitaxial accumulation of Au atoms, and separated Au NPs with mediated morphologies and superior plasmonic characteristics are obtained. Experimental results and theoretical simulation demonstrate the Hg-concentration-reliant formation of plasmonic nanostructures with their mediated sizes and shapes in the presence of weak reductants. Moreover, the sensitive plasmonic responses of reaction systems exhibit selectivity comparable to that of Hg species. As a concept of proof, polymeric carbon dots (CDs) were used as the initial reductant, and the reactions between trivalent Au and CDs were studies. Significantly, Hg atoms prevent the epitaxial accumulation of Au atoms, and plasmonic NPs with decreased sizes were in situ synthesized, corresponding to varied surface plasmonic resonance absorption performance of the CD-induced hybrids. Moreover, with the integration of sensing substrates of CD-doped hydrogels, superior response stabilities, analysis selectivity, and sensitivity of Hg2+ ions were achieved on the basis of the mercury-mediated in situ chemical reactions between trivalent Au ions and reductant CDs. Consequently, a high-performance sensing strategy with the use of Au NP-staining hydrogels (nanostaining hydrogels) was exhibited. In addition to Hg sensing, the nanostaining hydrogels facilitated by doping of emerging materials and advanced chem/biostrategies can be developed as high-performance on-site monitoring routes to various pollutant species.

ABSTRACT A novel ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor based on split aptamer and Au-rGO nanomaterials was proposed to detect Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1). In this work, Au-rGO nanomaterials were coated on the electrode through the electrodeposition method to increase the aptamer enrichment. We split the aptamer of AFM1 into 2 sequences (S1 and S2), where sequence S1 was immobilized on the electrode due to the Au-S bond, whereas sequence S2 was tagged with methylene blue (MB) and acted as a response signal. A complementary strand to S1 (CS1) labeled with ferrocene (Fc) was introduced as another reporter. In the presence of AFM1, CS1 was released from the electrode surface due to the formation of the S1-AFM1-S2 complex, leading to a decrease in Fc and an increase in MB signal. The developed ratiometric aptasensor exhibited a linear range of 0.03 μg L −1 to 2.00 μg L −1 , with a detection limit of 0.015 μg L −1 for AFM1 detection. The ratiometric aptasensor also showed a linear relationship from 0.2 μg L −1 to 1.00 μg L −1 , with a detection limit of 0.05 μg L −1 in natural milk after sample pretreatment, indicating the successful application of the developed ratiometric aptasensor. Our proposed strategy provides a new way to construct aptasensors with high sensitivity and selectivity.

The plasmon coupling properties of assembled metal nanogap structures are highly sensitive to the distance, shape, orientation, and configuration of faceted nanoparticles. However, the orientation control of nanoparticles is usually limited to in-plane configurations. In this paper, Au@Ag nanocubes (NCs) with sharp edges and corners were assembled on a polystyrene (PS) microsphere array as a hierarchical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate via a facile self-assembly technique. The Au@Ag NC monolayer undergoes an out-of-plane reconstruction and forms V-shaped nanogaps under the modulation of the PS microsphere array curved surface. This unique V-shaped nanogap can generate electromagnetic fields stronger than those of traditional parallel gaps and make it easier for target molecules to diffuse into the nanogaps. The three-dimensional (3D) SERS substrates have a wider spectral response and 20 times higher SERS activity than those of the Au@Ag NC monolayer films on flat substrates. The high sensitivity was demonstrated by the detection limit down to 10–9 M for 4-MBA with a substrate enhancement factor up to 3.1 × 107. Furthermore, the optimized 3D SERS substrate was applied to determine As5+ in water with detection limits as low as 10–8 M assisted by machine learning, indicating that the 3D SERS substrates have promising applications in food safety, environmental monitoring, and biological diagnosis.

In comparison with the poor stability, high cost, and difficult preparation of conventional natural enzymes, nanozymes have the obvious advantages of excellent stability, high catalytic activity, multifunctionality, and large-scale preparation. Herein, a series of Fe3O4 NPs-based magnetic composite with dual enzyme-like activities (peroxidase and oxidase) were successfully synthesized by the microwave-assisted method. Among them, the Fe3O4/Ag Au nanocomposite showed the highest peroxidase-like activity due to the synergistic catalytic effect of Ag and Au bimetallic modifications. Enzyme kinetic studies revealed good kinetic parameters of the Fe3O4/Ag Au nanocomposite for peroxidase, and it also exhibited a higher affinity for TMB compared to natural horseradish peroxidase. In addition, a method for effective dye degradation and selective detection of glutathione was constructed based on its peroxidase-like activity. Importantly, the remarkable magnetic separation property and the outstanding stability proved the extensive application prospects of the nanozymes in the remediation of water pollution and some biomarker-specific detection.

The lateral size of graphene nanosheets plays a critical role in the properties and microstructure of 3D graphene as well as their application as supports of electrocatalysts for CO2reduction reactions (CRRs). Here, graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets with different lateral sizes (1.5, 5, and 14 µm) were utilized as building blocks for 3D graphene aerogel (GA) to research the size effects of GO on the CRR performances of 3D Au/GA catalysts. It was found that GO-L (14 µm) led to the formation of GA with large pores and a low surface area and that GO-S (1.5 µm) induced the formation of GA with a thicker wall and isolated pores, which were not conducive to the mass transfer of CO2or its interaction with catalysts. Au/GA constructed with a suitable-sized GO (5 µm) exhibited a hierarchical porous network and the highest surface area and conductivity. As a result, Au/GA-M exhibited the highest Faradaic efficiency (FE) of CO (FECO= 81%) and CO/H2ratio at −0.82 V (vs. a Reversible Hydrogen Electrode (RHE)). This study indicates that for 3D GA-supported catalysts, there is a balance between the improvement of conductivity, the adsorption capacity of CO2, and the inhibition of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) during the CRR, which is related to the lateral size of GO.

Efficient recovery of precious metals from secondary resources is of great economic and environmental significance in modern society. Herein, an efficient adsorbent ZIF-8-MTD was designed using 1,3,4-thiadiazole (MTD)-modified zinc-based metal-organic framework (MOF) for efficient recovery of gold (Au)(III) from wastewater. It was found that the ZIF-8-MTD adsorbent has excellent adsorption performance for Au(III), with a maximum adsorption capacity of 1604.53 mg·g −1 at room temperature (15 °C), which is superior to the traditional adsorbent. Particularly, the ZIF-8-MTD adsorbent still maintained a high saturation adsorption capacity of 1088.8 mg·g − 1 at a low Au(III) concentration (10 ppm). The fitting results of adsorption isotherm and kinetic adsorption model indicated that the adsorption process was consistent with Langmuir and pseudo-second-order adsorption models, implying that chemisorption was involved in the adsorption process. Moreover, the results of adsorption selectivity , desorption and adsorption experiments confirmed good adsorption selectivity and recyclability. Combining pH effect experiments, infrared spectroscopy (IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterizations, we proposed an electrostatic adsorption mechanism in which the coordination interactions between the -SH functional groups in the framework and Au(III) lead them to be adsorbed to the ZIF − 8-MTD surface and partially reduce it to Au(I). More importantly, the outstanding adsorption performance, high selectivity and strong stability make it have great potential for practical application.

The heterogeneity of perovskite film crystallization along the vertical direction leads to voids and traps at the buried interfaces, hampering both efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Here, bovine serum albumin-functionalized Au nanoclusters (ABSA), combined with heavy gravity, high surface charge density, and strong interactions with the electron transport layer, are designed to reconstruct the buried interfaces for not only high-quality crystallization, but also improved carrier transfer. The ABSA macromolecules with amine function groups and larger surface charge density interact with the perovskite to improve the crystallinity, and gradually migrate towards the buried interface, healing the defective voids, hence suppressing surface recombination velocity from 3075 to 452 cm s −1 . The healed buried interface and the higher surface potential of ABSA-modified TiO 2 lead to improved carrier extraction at the interface. The resulting solar cell attains a power conversion efficiency of 25.0% with negligible hysteresis and remarkable stability, maintaining 92.9% of their initial efficiency after 3200 h of exposure to the ambient atmosphere, they also exhibit better continuous irradiation stability compared to control devices. These findings provide a new metal-protein complex to eliminate the deleterious voids and defects at the buried interface for improved photovoltaic performance and stability.

Aquaculture fungicide causes threats to the human community and their sensitive detection are thus essential for food safety. Herein, MoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 @Au heterojunction-based recyclable SERS substrate was developed for fungicide detection. The optimal substrate exhibited good SERS performance with a detection limit as low as 9.908 × 10 −5 mg L −1 for malachite green (MG). Furthermore, an MCN@Au-based photodegradation of crystal violet (CV) under simulated light irradiation was realized, resulting in a degradation rate of 95.6%. With the dual function of the as-synthesized materials, good reusability of the substrates for at least six “detection-degradation” cycles was achieved. In addition, the MG in prawn extract could be sensitively determined with a satisfactory recovery from 91.60 to 124.00%. This work paves an avenue for the fabrication of heterojunction-based recyclable SERS substrates and provides a novel weapon for food safety protection.
