Here, a general two-stage morphology-structure-control strategy is presented to construct tandem built-in electric fields (BIEFs) embedded hollow bifunctional photocatalysts (Sv-chalcogenide hollow nanocage/NiCo<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub> heterojunctions, Sv represents sulfur vacancies, chalcogenides include ZnIn<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub>, CdS, CdIn<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub>). This strategy involves fabricating polyhedral cages via constraint epitaxy and embedding tandem BIEFs (consisting of intra-component and inter-component BIEF) within hollow nanocages through defect-mediated heterocomponent anchorage. The resulting hollow nanoreactors synergize multilight scattering/reflection with directional charge-transfer to boost photocarrier dynamics by stimulating plentiful carrier generation and driving continuous carrier localization and delocalized-electron transportation. Subsequently, the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-induced photogenerated electron excitation continuously collaborates with the intrinsic excitation for hot electron generation, thus improving the photothermal effect. Heterojunctions with efficient photothermal regulation optimize the pivotal intermediate adsorption/activation in selective alcohol oxidation coupled with H<sub>2</sub> evolution, delivering unprecedented reactivity and broad alcohol substrate compatibility. This study provides a programmable framework for structurally designing BIEFs within hollow architectures, elucidating the substantial impact of morphology-structure control on photogenerated carrier dynamics and molecular catalytic behavior.","PeriodicalId":112,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Functional Materials","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a highly stable hydrosol with strong antibacterial properties is developed by adsorbing hydrophilic groups of polymer chains onto the Cu-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles (BNPs). The synergistic effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) overcame the incompatibility between the polymer components and nanomaterials, enhancing the dispersion and stability of the Cu-Ag BNP hydrosol. The results demonstrates that the hydrosol exhibited potent antibacterial activities at 50 ppm (w/w), achieving approximately a 5-log reduction for sessile cells after 21 days using retrieved coupons from 3-day pre-culture vials. The hydrosol led to much cleaner X80 coupon surfaces due to biofilm inhibition and MIC mitigation. The weight loss measurements reveals corrosion inhibition efficiencies of 91% and 78% at 50 ppm and 25 ppm, respectively. Additionally, the density functional theory (DFT) modeling reveals that copper regulates silver ion release, enhancing the antibacterial action.
