Gold nanoclusters have the tunable optical absorption property, and are promising for cancer cell imaging, photothermal therapy and radiotherapy. First-principle is a very powerful tool for design of novel materials. In the present work, structural properties, band gap engineering and tunable optical properties of Ag-doped gold clusters have been calculated using density functional theory. The ...

Abstract Currently, lanthanide (Ln 3+ )‐doped near‐infrared (NIR)‐emitting double perovskites (DPs) suffer from low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Herein, we develop a new class of NIR‐emitting DPs based on Ln ‐doped Cs 2 (Na/Ag)BiCl 6 . Benefiting the Na + ‐induced breakdown local site symmetry in AgBiCl DPs, effective NIR emissions are realized through Bi sensitization. Specifically,...

Commercially available TiO2 of anatase structure produced in the Chemical Factory Police S.A. was modified by doping Ag from AgNO3 solution via photodeposition method. The obtained amount of deposited Ag on TiO2 was in the range of 0.11 to 0.98 mass %. Deposition of Ag on TiO2 resulted in the retarding of the recombination reaction and formation of the higher amount of OH radicals on the photoc...

Spray pyrolysis was used to deposit indium sulfide (In2S3) films, with or without silver doping. The films are polycrystalline, and the inclusion of Ag in In2S3 structure leads formation a solid solution, crystallite size order tens nanometers. exhibit semiconductive behavior, incorporation an increase charge carrier concentration, enhancing electrical conductivity films. small polaron hopping ...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely used in various fields, including gas storage, separation, sensors, and catalysis, owing to their excellent performance. In this study, a zinc-based MOF [MIL-125(Zn)] was successfully synthesized using the solvothermal method, Ag-doped ZnO (Ag/ZnO) prepared by pyrolyzing Ag/MIL-125(Zn). The fabricated Ag/ZnO as photocatalyst for rhodamine (RhB) d...

In order to improve the conductivity of the single-layered nano-thick F doped SnO2 (FTO) thin films, an Ag mid-layer is embedded between the FTO layers. In our work, the effects of mid-layer Ag and top FTO layer on the structural, electrical and optical properties of FTO/Ag/FTO multilayered composite structures deposited on quartz glass substrates by magnetron sputtering at 100 °C have been inv...

Sn–9Zn solder joints containing Ag nano particles were prepared by mechanically mixing Ag nano particles (0.3, 0.5 and 1 wt%) with Sn–9Zn solder paste. In the monolithic Sn–Zn solder joints, scallop-shaped AuZn3 intermetallic compound layers were found at their interfaces. However, after the addition of Ag nano particles, an additional uniform AgZn3 intermetallic compound layer well adhered to ...

The introduction of silver, either in the liquid phase (as silver nitrate solution: Ag(L)) or in the solid phase (as silver phosphate salt: Ag(S)) of calcium carbonate-calcium phosphate (CaCO3-CaP) bone cement, its influence on the composition of the set cement (C-Ag(L) and C-Ag(S) cements with a Ca/Ag atomic ratio equal to 10.3) and its biological properties were investigated. The fine charact...
