Cubic-shaped AgPO crystals with a mean size of 1 μm were synthesized by a precipitation method from a mixed solution of AgNO, NaHPO, and triethanolamine. The antibacterial activities against , , and DC3000 in both the absence and presence of AgPO under dark conditions and in the presence of AgPO under red-light (625 nm) and blue-light (460 nm) irradiation were examined. The concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were also measured in the antibacterial action of the AgPO against The photoinduced enhancement of the AgPO antibacterial activity under blue-light irradiation is explained by the formation of ROS during the antibacterial action of the AgPO. Moreover, the antiviral activity of AgPO against amphotropic 10A1 murine leukemia virus enhanced under blue-light irradiation via ROS production. These results provide an insight into extended bio-applications of AgPO.

At present, the high re-combination rate of photogenerated carriers and the low redox capability of the photocatalyst are two factors that severely limit the improvement of photocatalytic performance. Herein, a dual Z-scheme photocatalyst bismuthzirconate/graphitic carbon nitride/silver phosphate (BiZrO/g-CN/AgPO (BCA)) was synthesized using a co-precipitation method, and a dual Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic system was established to decrease the high re-combination rate of photogenerated carriers and consequently improve the photocatalytic performance. The re-combination of electron-hole pairs (e and h) in the valence band (VB) of g-CN increases the redox potential of e and h, leading to significant improvements in the redox capability of the photocatalyst and the efficiency of e-h separation.

Article Synopsis
- Cataluminescence has gained attention for its efficiency in gas sensing, particularly in environmental monitoring and clinical diagnosis, but improving analytical performance remains a challenge.
- The study introduces a new gas-sensing system using a Z-scheme heterojunction (AgPO/Ag/BiTiO), which enhances the detection of hydrogen sulfide (HS) by facilitating better electron transport and reducing electron-hole recombination.
- The developed sensing system outperforms traditional methods, achieving a response three times higher and a detection limit of 0.0065 μg mL, demonstrating the potential of engineered nanostructures in creating advanced sensors.

Femtosecond direct laser writing is a well-established and robust technique for the fabrication of photonic structures. Herein, we report on the fabrication of buried waveguides in AgPO silver metaphosphate glasses, as well as, on the erase and re-writing of those structures, by means of a single femtosecond laser source. Based on the fabrication procedure, the developed waveguides can be erased and readily re-inscribed upon further femtosecond irradiation under controlled conditions.

Tailoring the photoluminescence (PL) properties in two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS) crystals using external factors is critical for its use in valleytronic, nanophotonic and optoelectronic applications. Although significant effort has been devoted towards enhancing or manipulating the excitonic emission in MoS monolayers, the excitonic emission in few-layers MoS has been largely unexplored. Here, we put forward a novel nano-heterojunction system, prepared with a non-lithographic process, to enhance and control such emission.

Domain-based local pair natural orbital coupled cluster approach with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations, DLPNO-CCSD(T), has been applied within a framework of a reduced version of the reaction-based Feller-Peterson-Dixon (FPD) scheme to predict gas phase heats of formation and absolute entropies of silver inorganic and organometallic compounds. First, we evaluated all existing experimental data currently limited by thermodynamic functions of 10 silver substances (AgH, AgF, AgBr, AgI, Ag, AgS, AgSe, AgTe, AgCN, AgPO). The mean average deviation between computed and experimental heats of formation was found to be 1.
