Flexible conductive films have been increasingly demanded for wearable devices that are widely applied. However, existing fabrication methods are limited by uneven particle distribution, complex processes, and material selectivity. Herein, a particle manipulation method based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology was proposed to align spherical silver (Ag) particles and fabricate a flexible conductive film with a linear arrangement structure. The process for fabricating conductive films was optimized by investigating the influence of the dielectrophoresis (DEP) effect, along with the effects of chamber height and solution solid content, on the alignment of Ag particles. Besides, the conductivity of the films and their applications in flexible sensing including wrist bending, finger short-term and continuous pressing actions were explored. Results showed that the acoustic radiation force dominates the aggregation of spherical-like Ag particles into periodic stripe patterns along the acoustic pressure node lines at locations distal to the substrate. Ag particles at the potential nodes are dominated by the dielectrophoretic force, leading to the formation of chain-like structures, which can be eliminated by utilizing the electric field shielding layer. The optimized film has a high conductivity of 4774 S/m and exhibits stable resistance characteristics during flexible deformation. The resistance change can be attributed to the changes in particle spacing, the breakage and recovery of conductive paths caused by deformation. The current work provides a new scheme for the fabrication of conductive films with high process controllability in the field of flexible sensing.

Abstract Efficient bimetallic nanostructures, which show properties related to two sole metals, have empowered inventive applications in nanosciences and nanotechnology. Here, we construct bimetallic Au@Ag nano-urchins with controlled Au tips for Catalysis and SERS application. The proposed nano-urchins were synthesized via electrochemical and simple galvanic replacement reaction route. The construction of Ag nano-flowers via electrochemical deposition use as a shell and Au tips were grown via galvanic reaction route greatly enhanced SERS properties of crystal violet (CV) detection and stability of nanostructures. In a comparison of Ag flower-like structures, the catalysis properties of Au@Ag nano-urchins are extremely efficient in degrading p -nitrophenol. As a result, these bimetallic nano-urchins show great development in SERS substrate and efficient catalysts.

In recent years, Ag nanoparticle (Ag NP)-loaded antibacterial dressings have attracted much attention in high-level medical dressings. However, the high cytotoxicity of Ag NP has always been a problem. In this paper, we examined the improvement of antibacterial activity of berberine hydrochloride (BBR) with Ag NP, the results showed that the combined use of BBR and Ag NP can effectively reduce the dosage of Ag NP while ensuring the inhibition of bacterial growth, thus an intermediate layer dressing containing combined drugs were prepared. At the same time, the top dressing of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solid film and the PVA bottom dressings with three kinds of leakage structures were prepared by 3D printing technology. Three kinds of PVA bottom dressings showed high quality consistency, and the greater the number of leak holes, the higher the porosity value of the dressing, while the swelling ratio value of the bottom layer dressing with three holes was the lowest. Finally, three types of BBR-Ag NP composite antibacterial dressings (3D-BBR-Ag NP) can be obtained by self-assembling of the top dressing, the intermediate layer dressing, and the bottom dressings with three kinds of leakage structures. The cumulative drug release results showed that dressing with more holes had a faster drug release rate compared to the other two ones with fewer leakage holes. Besides, five drug release kinetic models were used to investigate the cumulative BBR release profiles for three types of 3D-BBR-Ag NP. And the three types of composite dressings showed strong antibacterial activity after 6 h of cultivation with staphylococcus aureus. The study showed that the antibacterial activity of the self-assembled dressing prepared by combination of BBR with Ag NP can be improved, and the drug release rate of the hydrogel dressing can be flexibly controlled through 3D printing technology.

Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS), with the exceptional single-molecule detection capability and high sensitivity, has become an advanced spectroscopic analysis method in fields such as chemical analysis and biosensing. Three-dimensional (3D) sandwich substrates, due to their unique structural characteristics, have attracted considerable attention for their ability to enhance SERS detection sensitivity. However, the controlled assembly of 3D sandwich substrates with bimetallic nanoparticles remains a challenge. In this paper, a fabrication method for constructing 3D sandwich substrates via a bottom-up approach is proposed. Using a liquid–liquid phase self-assembly method, Au@Ag nanocubes (Au@Ag NCs) were assembled on a polystyrene (PS) microsphere array with monolayer MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T X ) adsorption, successfully constructed an Au@Ag NCs/MXene/PS microsphere substrate. Furthermore, the SERS sensitivity of the substrate was evaluated using Rhodamine 6G (R6G), Crystal Violet (CV), and Aspartame (APM) molecules, and experimental results show that the detection limits are 10 −12 M, 10 −11 M, and 0.0313 g/L (1.06 × 10 −4 M), respectively, with excellent uniformity and stability of the substrate. These findings demonstrate that the constructed 3D substrate exhibits outstanding SERS performance and holds significant potential for applications in environmental pollutant detection and food safety.

Multifunctional nanocomposites with well-defined structures and optimized electromagnetic properties are highly desirable in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and catalytic reduction reactions. We report a novel multifunctional Fe 3 Pt–Ag nanoparticle with efficient SERS performance and excellent catalytic activity. Fe 3 Pt–Ag shows an obviously enhanced SERS effect, which is evaluated by enhanced Raman signal of Rhodamine B (RhB). Efficient SERS performance of Fe 3 Pt–Ag is attributed to the optical property of local surface plasmon resonance of Ag nanoparticles (NPs). Importantly, spontaneous catalytic reduction reactions of RhB illustrate that Fe 3 Pt–Ag possesses good catalytic performance. In combination with the theories of pseudo-first-order kinetics, catalytic reduction reactions are analysed in detail, and experimental data are in line with theoretical results. Fe 3 Pt–Ag can be easily recycled at least six times via an external magnetic field , elaborating that our developed Fe 3 Pt–Ag can be applied to protect environment as a novel composite material.

In this paper, polyvinyl alcohol/Ag-Metal-organic framework (PVA/Ag@MOF) and polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan (PVA/CS) were used as the inner and outer layers to successfully prepare a bilayer composite hydrogel for tissue engineering scaffold. The performance of bilayer hydrogels was evaluated. The outer layer (PVA/CS) has a uniform pore size distribution, good water retention, biocompatibility and cell adhesion ability. The inner layer (PVA/Ag@MOF) has good antibacterial activity and poor biocompatibility. PVA, PVA/0.1%Ag@MOF, PVA/0.5%Ag@MOF, and PVA/1.0%Ag@MOF show anti-microbial activity in ascending order. However, its use as an inner layer avoids direct contact with cells and prevents infection. The cell viability of all samples was above 90%, indicating that the bilayer hydrogel was non-toxic to A549 cells. The bilayer hydrogel scaffold combines the advantages of the inner and outer layers. In summary, this new bilayer composite is an ideal lung scaffold for tissue engineering.

Graphical A nonchemotherapic antibacterial agent was synthesized through one-step reprecipitation-encapsulation of photosensitizers, photothemal agents and poly-L-lysine (PLL), followed by the in-situ reduction of Ag on the surface of nanoparticle. The fabricated nanohybrids achieved a robust PDT/PTT/Ag antibacterial capability without apparent systemic toxicity. Considering the implications of inherent resistance of pathogenic bacteria, it is important to design a new generation of nonchemotherapic nanoagents for effective antibacterial therapy. Herein, we illustrate a one-step reprecipitation-encapsulation strategy to incorporate hydrophobic photosensitizers (ZnPc) and photothemal agents (dopamine hydrochloride) with a cationic poly-L-lysine (PLL) layer. Upon light irradiation, the polymeric nanohybrid exhibits high photo-to-thermal conversion efficiency (30.3%) and effective 1 O 2 generation capability. To further enhance the antibacterial efficiency, Ag nanoparticle, a typical broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, was decorated on the surface of PLL layer by in-situ reduction. The as-synthesized nanohybrids, referred to as ZnPc/DA@Ag, achieved a robust photodynamic/photothermal/Ag antibacterial capability without apparent systemic toxicity, thus holding great potential for broad-spectrum eradication of pathogenic bacteria.

The bacterial infection is one of the main reasons for the failure of implant surgery. In this paper, catechol functionalized chitosan (CSCT) was used as a reducing agent and stabilizer to synthesize CSCT-Ag NPs. The composite coating of titanium surface was then electrodeposited by a CSCT layer initially, followed by spin-coating of a CSCT/gelatin (G)/CSCT-Ag NPs layer. The results of XRD , UV–Vis, and TEM showed that the silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized with uniform distribution, and the particle size was 4–22 nm. The cytotoxicity test results of CSCT-Ag NPs on A549 and EA.Hy926 cells showed when the concentration of CSCT-Ag NPs was less than 25 μg/mL, the survival rate of the two kinds of cells was greater than 80%. First electrodeposition and then spin-coating is feasible through the coating adhesion test and the adhesion level up to 5B. Compared with the pure Ti substrate, the corrosion resistance and hydrophilicity of the composite coating surface are significantly improved. The antibacterial rate of the composite coating against E. coli and S. aureus can reach 99% and 96%. In conclusion, CSCT-Ag NPs and the method of preparing coatings by electrodeposition and then spin-coating have good clinical application potential.

Interfacial characteristics play an important role in infection prevention and osteointegration of artificial bone implants. In this work, both Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) and ZnO NPs are incorporated into hydroxyapatite (HA) nanopowders and deposited onto Ti6Al4V (Ti6) implants by laser cladding. The composite coatings possess a hierarchical surface structure with homogeneous distributions of Ag and ZnO. The Ag and ZnO NPs that are immobilized by laser cladding ensure long-term and gradual release of Ag and Zn ions at low cumulative concentrations of 36.2 and 56.4 μg/L after immersion for 21 days. A large concentration of Ag released initially increases the cytotoxicity but the large initial ZnO content enhances the cell viability and osteogenetic ability. The nano Ag/ZnO-embedded HA coating (Ag/ZnO/HA = 7:3:90 wt %, namely Ag7ZnO3HA) exhibits optimal antibacterial efficacy and osteogenetic capability, as exemplified by the broad spectrum antibacterial efficacy of 96.5 and 85.8% against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), respectively, together with enhanced osteoinductivity with higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of 134.60 U/g protein compared to 70.79 U/g protein for the untreated implants after culturing for 7 days. The rabbit femoral implant model further confirms that the optimized composite coating accelerates the formation of new bone tissues indicating 87.15% of the newly formed bone area and osteointegration showing 83.75% of the bone–implant contact area even in the presence of injected S. aureus. The laser-cladded Ag7ZnO3HA composite coatings are promising metallic implants with excellent intrinsic antibacterial activity and osteointegration ability.

Dimer optical antennas (OAs) enable great fluorescence enhancement and excitation volume reduction and hence potentially can be a very useful tool for single-molecule detection. The realization of broadband fluorescence enhancement with a dimer OA remains an essential step for its usage in multi-color single-molecule fluorescence (SMF) detection. Although silver dimer OAs have been shown to be able to yield broadband fluorescence enhancement over the visible spectrum, they are amenable to oxidization, hard to functionalize, and could cause cytotoxicity. To overcome these limitations, in this work, we took advantage of nano-sized silver due to its optical properties and gold due to its chemical properties and developed an ameliorated Ag@Au dimer OA in terms of its overall performance. The Ag@Au nanoparticle in the dimer OA contains a 70 nm silver core and an ultra-thin (∼1–5 nm) gold shell which play a key role in its optical responses. Furthermore, we employed three typical dyes, i.e., FAM, TAMRA and Cy5, representing the blue, yellow and red ranges, respectively, and characterized their single-molecule fluorescence enhancements in the presence of Au or Ag@Au OAs. Our results indicate that, in contrast to its Au counterpart, the Ag@Au dimer OA prepared here can greatly improve its optical response in the blue range and eventually achieve broadband fluorescence enhancement throughout almost the whole visible spectral range. Meanwhile, it also maintains good chemical stability and accessibility to functionalization. Such Ag@Au dimer OAs are thus expected to have many important applications in the future, including single-molecule sequencing and multi-color biosensing.

Ag nanoparticle-decorated Bi 2 O 3 -TiO 2 heterogeneous photocatalysts were successfully obtained by combining facile sacrificial templates and photoreduction . The as-synthesized Ag@Bi 2 O 3 -TiO 2 photocatalysts with a narrow band gap of 2.40 eV exhibited considerable photocatalytic activity to degrade rhodamine B (RhB) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), and the removal efficiency reached 100% and 92%, respectively. Ag@Bi 2 O 3 -TiO 2 photocatalysts also exhibited stable recyclability for the degradation of RhB and TCH. Trapping experiments helped determine the major reactive oxidative species for TCH photodegradation . The desirable photodegradation performance is mainly attributed to improved light absorption , enhanced charge separation, and strong redox capacity of Ag@Bi 2 O 3 -TiO 2 nanostructures with S-scheme heterojunction . This work provides a facile avenue to construct heterogeneous tubular nanostructures with intensive photoabsorbance and effective photocatalysis to degrade organic contaminants.

Selective and sensitive detection of multiple metal ions is significant for biological researches and environmental monitoring, because the abnormal metal ions levels have potential damage to the human body and environment. In this study, a fluorescent sensing platform based on Ag nanoclusters has been established for independent detection of Hg 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Fe 3+ ions in a solution. The interference of the fluorescence induced by coexistent metal ions was removed by altering buffers with different pH and using different masking agents. Moreover, the detection mechanism is discussed in detail, which provides a valuable reference for the detection of heavy metal ions with metal nanomaterials. This sensor exhibits a high selectivity and sensitivity, and the linear ranges for Hg 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Fe 3+ detection are 0.05-9, 0.05-18, and 0.1–18 μM with the corresponding detection limits of 12, 27, and 50 nM, respectively. Furthermore, this method was successfully used for analyzing the three metal ions in environmental and biological samples.
