Carbosulfan gets easily decomposed into carbofuran and 3-Hydroxy carbofuran in vegetables and forms harmful residues. To detect the residues of carbosulfan in vegetables (for example, cowpeas), a super-sensitive method of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was used in this work. Silver sol was prepared as the SERS substrate. To solve the adsorption problem of carbosulfan on Ag nanoparticles, 2, 6-dichloroquinone-4-chlorimide (chromogenic agent), and sodium hydroxide were added in carbosulfan to generate a complex, which was then mixed with the silver sol in the best proportion to examine SERS spectra. According to density functional theory calculations, the spectral peak positions of carbosulfan were determined. The optimal mixing ratio of the complex and the silver sol to obtain the optimal SERS spectrum and the detection limit of carbosulfan were investigated. The ultra-sensitive detection of carbosulfan residues (8.7 × 10 g/L) in cowpeas was realized. The results of this work indicate that SERS is a promising technique for detecting single-molecule pesticide residues in vegetables.

Dynamic hydrogels have attracted considerable attention in the application of flexible electronics, as they possess injectable and self-healing abilities. However, it is still a challenge to combine high conductivity and antibacterial properties into dynamic hydrogels. In this work, we fabricated a type of dynamic hydrogel based on acylhydrazone bonds between thermo-responsive copolymer and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) functionalized with hydrazide groups.

Self-powered broadband photodetectors (SPBPDs) hold great potential for next-generation optoelectronic applications, but their performance is often limited by interface defects that impair charge transport and increase recombination losses. In this work, we report the enhancement of the photodetection efficiency of SPBPDs by partially substituting copper (Cu) with silver (Ag) in kesterite CuZnSnS (ACZTS) thin films. Varying Ag concentrations (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%) are incorporated into the CZTS layer, forming a TiO/ACZTS heterojunction in superstrate configuration fabricated via a low-cost sol-gel spin-coating technique with low-temperature open air annealing avoiding conventional postdeposition sulfurization or selenization.

Objectives: To evaluate the multifunctionality of silver-copper co-loaded mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG), with the goal of developing an advanced pulp-capping material.
Methods: The synthesis of materials was conducted using the sol-gel method, following the approach described in previous studies but with some modifications. The composition included 80 mol% SiO₂, 15 mol% CaO, and 5 mol% P₂O₅, with additional components of 5 mol% silver, 5 mol% copper, or 1 mol% silver combined with 4 mol% copper, designated as Ag5/80S, Cu5/80S, or Ag1Cu4/80S, respectively.

Bacterial infections are a common cause of clinical complications associated with the use of orthodontic microimplants. Biofilm formation on their surfaces and subsequent infection of peri-implant tissues can result in either exfoliation or surgical removal of these medical devices. In order to improve the properties of microimplants, hybrid coatings enriched with silver nanoparticles, calcium, and phosphorus were investigated.
