Ag2S nanocrystals with a mean diameter of 5.9 nm (sigma= 1.65 nm) and characteristic surface plasmon resonance absorption at 330 nm have been synthesized in water-in-supercritical CO2 reverse microemulsion using the commonly used AOT surfactant with 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoro-1-pentanol (F-pentanol) as cosurfactant.

Unlabelled: We present the chemical synthesis of polyethyleneimine-conjugated silver sulfide nanoparticles (PEI/AS) utilizing an economical solvothermal synthesis method, aimed at developing effective alternative antibacterial agents. The antibacterial efficacy of the synthesized materials, both with and without the application of near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, was evaluated in vitro against two distinct clinically relevant multi-drug-resistant (MDR) uropathogenic strains: and . The bactericidal effects induced by NIR light indicate that the PEI/AS nanoparticles possess an efficiency that is five times greater than that of AgS alone.

Halide perovskites (HPs), particularly at the nanoscale, attract attention due to their unique optical properties compared to other semiconductors. They exhibit bright emission, defect tolerance, and a broad tunable band gap. The ability to directly transport charge carriers along the HPs nanowires (NWs) has led to the development of methods for their synthesis.

Sharing the same photoexcitation process, fluorescence (FL) and photoelectrochemistry (PEC) accomplish optical-optical and optical-electrochemical switches respectively, and are both widely used in diverse fields. However, since FL and PEC are mutually exclusive in principle, it is difficult to obtain intense FL and PEC responses in a system, limiting FL-PEC dual-mode applications. In this study, AgS quantum dots (QDs) and In(OH) nanoblocks (NBs) are simultaneously synthesized by BSA-templated bio-mineralization, and the excited state electrons of AgS/In(OH)@BSA nanocomposites (NCs) are further regulated by a proteolysis process.

Zearalenone (ZEN), a secondary metabolite mycotoxin primarily synthesized by Fusarium species and prevalent in cereal grains, exerts estrogenic effects that could induce reproductive toxicity and teratogenic outcomes. To enhance the precision of ZEN detection, we have developed an innovative photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptamer-based sensor employing in situ growth silver sulfide (AgS) quantum dots-sensitized graphitic carbon nitride/bismuth oxybromide (g-CN/BiOBr) heterojunction. The g-CN/BiOBr composite exhibits robust structural stability and straightforward synthesis.
