Herein, noble metal nanoparticle (Au or Ag NP) decorated graphene sheets, fabricated according to a facile one-pot environmentally friendly method, are used as good substrates for the investigation of the combined surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect, where both the electromagnetic mechanism and the chemical mechanism effects coexist among the Au or Ag NPs, graphene sheets and the absorbed analytes. Our results show that, in aqueous solution, the SERS effect of both the Au and Ag NPs on the absorbed probe molecules and on graphene is competitive, which varies dependent on the species and the concentration of the absorbed probe molecule. By a detailed comparison of three probe molecules (rhodamine 6G, nile blue A, and 4-aminobenzenethiol) with different coupling abilities to the graphene sheets, we finally attribute this phenomenon to the result of the strong suppressing effect of the macrocyclic probe molecules on the SERS of graphene, induced by charge transfer, as the probe molecules are coupled to the graphene sheets. This competitive effect is a non-ignorable phenomenon when graphene/Au or Ag nanocomposites are used as SERS substrates, and our study may deepen our understanding of the SERS mechanism.

This study develops a simple, rapid electrochemical approach for preparing dendrite-shaped Ag nanomaterials, which are well known as effective SERS substrates. In addition to yielding silver that exhibits a strong enhancement in SERS measurements when tested with 2,2′-dithiodipyridine and ethylenethiourea, this new fabrication method does not require any template, surfactants or supporting electrolyte, making it environment friendly. Analysis illustrates that the as-prepared Ag products are essentially pure silver consisting of abundant {111}-oriented crystallites. These Ag dendrites formed on a commercially available tin-doped indium oxide electrode could also be easily transferred onto other desired surfaces, making their application in SERS measurements more versatile.

A highly sensitive temperature sensing array is prepared by all laser direct writing (LDW) method, using laser induced silver (LIS) as electrodes and laser induced graphene (LIG) as temperature sensing layer. A finite element analysis (FEA) photothermal model incorporating a phase transition mechanism is developed to investigate the relationship between laser parameters and LIG properties, providing guidance for laser processing parameters selection with laser power of 1–5 W and laser scanning speed (greater than 50 mm/s). The deviation of simulation and experimental data for widths and thickness of LIG are less than 5% and 9%, respectively. The electrical properties and temperature responsiveness of LIG are also studied. By changing the laser process parameters, the thickness of the LIG ablation grooves can be in the range of 30–120 μm and the resistivity of LIG can be regulated within the range of 0.031–67.2 Ω·m. The percentage temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) is calculated as − 0.58%/°C. Furthermore, the FEA photothermal model is studied through experiments and simulations data regarding LIS, and the average deviation between experiment and simulation is less than 5%. The LIS sensing samples have a thickness of about 14 μm, an electrical resistivity of 0.0001–100 Ω·m is insensitive to temperature and pressure stimuli. Moreover, for a LIS-LIG based temperature sensing array, a correction factor is introduced to compensate for the LIG temperature sensing being disturbed by pressure stimuli, the temperature measurement difference is decreased from 11.2 to 2.6 °C, indicating good accuracy for temperature measurement.

An ultrasensitive method for simultaneous determination of cytochrome c (cyt-c) and insulin was developed by combining aptamer-based bioassay and immunoassay, multielement-tagging and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Aptamer-modified gold nanoparticles (apt-AuNPs) and antibody-modified silver nanoparticles (ab-AgNPs) were employed as specific element tags for cyt-c and insulin, respectively. The prepared surface-functionalized magnetic microparticles (MMPs) were used for efficient and fast magnetic separation. The bioassay conditions were carefully optimized, including the amount of MMPs, the concentration of AuNPs and AgNPs, and the reaction time. Under optimal conditions, the developed method gave a linear range of 0.1–20 nM for cyt-c and 0.2–40 nM for insulin, a detection limit (3s) of 1.5 fmol (30 pM in 50 μL) for cyt-c and 5.5 fmol (110 pM in 50 μL) for insulin. The precision (relative standard deviation) for six replicate determinations of cyt-c (0.6 nM) and insulin (2.0 nM) was 6.6%, and 6.0%, respectively. The present method exhibits good specificity with recoveries from 87% to 98% for spiked cyt-c and insulin in human serum samples. The methodology demonstrated here provides a new possibility for bioassays and clinical diagnoses, which has potential for simultaneous determination of two or more low-abundance biomarkers of interest via multi-element tags.

One of the critical challenges for the protonic ceramic fuel cell stack is sealing electrolytes and interconnects. However, the traditional Ag CuO sealant will aggravate the oxidation along the interconnect surface and result in brittle compound layers at the BaZr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3- δ (BZCYYb) electrolyte interface. The present work demonstrates that a silver particle interlayer with high dislocation density can be adopted to join BZCYYb electrolyte to the interconnect (AISI 441 stainless) in air instead of traditional Ag CuO sealant. Elevating temperatures result in a sufficient bonding at the Ag/BZCYYb interface, and a defect-free joint is obtained at 950 °C. Atomic bonding at Ag/BZCYYb interface is confirmed by TEM. Also, a dense and thin oxide layer (2–3 μm) is formed along the AISI 441 interface. Ag particles in the interlayer provide the main driving force for the sintering joining. The massive dislocations promote the recovery and recrystallization of the Ag interlayer, as well as the interdiffusion of BZCYYb/Ag. After aging in the wet oxidizing atmosphere at 600 °C for 300 h, joints remain intact and dense, indicating superior oxidation resistance and aging performance. Besides, the joint shear strength (25.3 MPa) is 59 % higher than that of the joint brazed by traditional Ag CuO.

Structural conversion using core-shell silver (Ag)-platinum (Pt) nanoparticles as starting materials is a promising way to produce nanocomposites consisting of silver sulfide (Ag 2 S) and hollow Pt nanostructures (Ag 2 S-hPtNCs). However, the mechanism behind the structural conversion process is yet to be understood. In this study, we use transmission electron microscope (TEM) as a typical tool to characterize the products formed in different structural conversion processes, and interpret the experimental observations by proposing mechanisms behind the reactions between core-shell Ag-Pt nanoparticles and sulfur precursors from different sources. We then design additional experiments to rationalize the formation mechanism we proposed. The mechanistic understanding of the structural conversion from bimetallic core-shell nanostructures to heterogeneous nanocomposites may extend the fabrication of heterogeneous nanocomposites for a given technological application.

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) are attracting tremendous attention due to their improved safety and higher energy density. However, the use of a metallic lithium anode poses a major challenge due to its low stability and processability. Instead, the graphite anode exhibits high reversibility for the insertion/deinsertion of lithium ions, giving ASSLBs excellent cyclic stability but a lower energy density. To increase the energy density of ASSLBs with the graphite anode, it is necessary to lower the negative/positive (N/P) capacity ratio and to increase the charging voltage. These strategies bring new challenges to lithium metal plating and dendrite growth. Here, a nano-Ag-modified graphite composite electrode (Ag@Gr) is developed to overcome these shortcomings for Li5.5PS4.5Cl1.5-based ASSLBs. The Ag@Gr composite exhibits a strong ability to inhibit lithium metal plating and fast lithium-ion transport kinetics. Ag nanoparticles can accommodate excess Li, and the as-obtained Li–Ag alloy enhances the kinetics of the composite electrode. The ASSLB with the Li(Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1)O2 cathode and Ag@Gr anode achieves an energy density of 349 W h kg–1. The full cell using Ag@Gr with an N/P ratio of 0.6 also highlights the rate performance. This work provides a simple and effective method to regulate the charge transport kinetics of graphite anodes and improve the cyclic performance and energy density of ASSLBs.

The unstable electrolyte/lithium (Li) anode interface has been one of the key challenges in realizing high energy density solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) applications. Herein, a dense and uniform silver (Ag) nano interlayer with a thickness of ∼35 nm is designed accurately by magnetron sputtering technology to optimize the electrolyte/Li anode interface. This Ag nano layer reacts with Li metal anode to in-situ form Li-Ag alloy, thus enhancing the physical interfacial contact, and further improving the interfacial wettability and compatibility. In particular, the Li-Ag alloy is inclined to form AgLi phase proved by cryo-TEM and DFT, effectively preventing SN from continuously “attacking” the Li metal anode due to the lower adsorption of succinonitrile (SN) molecules on AgLi than that of pure Li metal, thereby significantly reinforcing the interfacial stability. Hence, the enhanced physical and chemical stability of electrolyte/Li anode interface promotes the homogeneous deposition of Li + and inhibits the dendrite growth. The Li-symmetric cell maintains stable operation for up to 1700 h and the cycling stability of LiFePO 4 |SPE|Li full cell is remarkably improved at room temperature (capacity retention rate of 91.9% for 200 cycles). This work opens an effective way for accurate and controllable interface design of long lifespan solid-state LMBs.

A facile catalytic growth route was developed for the low-temperature solution synthesis of Ag2S–CdS matchstick-like heteronanostructures in oleylamine, which are composed of a Ag2S spherical head and a CdS rod-like stem. Ag2S nanoseeds acted as an effective catalyst for the growth of CdS nanorods and remained at the tip of the resultant nanorods, leading to the formation of Ag2S–CdS heterostructures with a matchstick shape. The diameter of the Ag2S heads and the length of the CdS stems could be easily controlled by varying the molar ratios of the Ag/Cd precursors. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and variable-temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies confirmed that Ag2S catalytic seeds underwent a phase change, that is, they were in a high-temperature superionic conducting cubic structure during the CdS nanorod growth and then converted to a low-temperature monoclinic crystal structure as the reaction was cooled to room temperature. The influence of synthetic temperature on the product morphology was investigated and the morphological evolution at different growth stages was monitored using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, the growth kinetics of the Ag2S–CdS matchstick-like heteronanostructures, including the dissolution, nucleation and growth of CdS within the Ag2S catalyst, was reasonably discussed on the basis of the structural characteristics of the superionic cubic Ag2S catalyst and the low solubility of CdS in Ag2S derived from the Ag2S–CdS binary phase diagram.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been widely applied in various fields due to its high sensitivity and rapid response capability. In this paper, a MIL-101(Fe)@Ag composite SERS substrate was prepared using photoreduction method. The synthesized MIL-101(Fe)@Ag composite substrate combines the localized surface plasmon resonance properties of silver nanoparticles and the high adsorption capacity of metal–organic frameworks. MIL-101 (Fe)@Ag composite substrate was characterized by FTIR, UV and SEM. The SERS activity of the composite substrates was characterized by measuring the Raman signals of PATP. The detection limit of the substrate for PATP was 10 –8 M, with a relative standard deviation of only about 5.3%, indicating good SERS effect and reproducibility of the substrate. Finally, the prepared substrate was applied for formaldehyde detection, with a detection limit of 10 –9 M. Principal component analysis was used for quantitative analysis of formaldehyde. This work proposes a simple method for synthesizing MIL-101(Fe)@Ag composite substrates with high SERS performance and uniformity and establishes a rapid detection method for formaldehyde using this substrate, which has great application prospects.

Screen printing is an important technique for creating 2D conductive patterns with high conductivity and resolution. Non-conductive additives are thus required in printable ink formulation in order to achieve appropriate viscosity and rheological behaviors. However, it is still a challenge to recover the conductivity of the printed networks after screen printing, while keeping the integrity of the patterns during repeated water-washing. Herein, a series of post-treatments are introduced into the washing process in order to achieve high-quality silver nanowire (Ag NW) transparent conductive films. Screen-printed patterns can be well maintained because of the enhanced adhesion between the Ag NW networks and flexible poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrates. High-performance transparent conductive film with extremely low sheet resistance (0.72 Ω sq −1 ) is achieved by combining plasma treatment, thermal annealing, and high pressure, making screen-printed Ag NW conductive networks promising to be used in the next-generation flexible optoelectronic devices.

Novel three-dimensional Ag nanoflowers (3DAN) were successfully synthesized through a facile Cu2+ mediated solution method using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), which serves as both a reducing agent and a solvent at room temperature. It was found that the introduction of a trace amount of Cu2+ could greatly slow the rate of the Ag+ reaction and thus this process effectively reduced the growth speed of Ag nanoparticles allowing 3DAN to be formed. The mechanism underlying the self-assembly process and shape evolution of 3DAN were systematically investigated by varying reaction time. X-Ray powder diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the obtained products. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to assess the chemical state and surface composition of the 3DAN. UV-vis absorption spectra of the products collected from the reaction solution at various stages were taken to study their optical properties. In the measurement of surface-enhanced Raman scattering using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as the probe, the 3DAN exhibited a significant enhancement factor, indicating their potential applications in biosensing and nanodevices.
