UV-visible spectroscopy revealed an absorbance band at 408 nm, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR spectroscopy) identified functional groups serving as stabilizing and capping agents, essential for the formation of silver nanoparticles, dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurement indicated that the nanoparticles had a mean hydrodynamic diameter of 102.50 nm, and the evaluated zeta potential for surface charge analysis of BS-Ag<sub>2</sub>O NPs was found to be -16.4 mV. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) showed an average particle size of 7.98 nm, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the face-centred cubic (FCC) structure of Ag<sub>2</sub>O NPs. The antibacterial activity of BS-Ag<sub>2</sub>O NPs against phytopathogenic bacteria <i>Erwinia carotovora</i>, <i>Ralstonia solanacearum</i>, and <i>Xanthomonas oryzae</i> was assessed by the agar-well diffusion method.

However, their practical applications are limited by poor environmental stability. To address this challenge, we employ a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), specifically ZIF-8, as a stabilizing matrix for its exceptional thermal and chemical stability, high surface area, and versatile synthesis routes. The CPB/ZIF-8 nanocomposite was synthesized by integrating hot-injection-produced CPB NCs with ZIF-8 using an optimized mixing approach, ensuring a uniform NCs distribution. Electron microscopy (EM) analysis confirmed the well-controlled and uniform distribution of the NCs on the surface of the ZIF-8. Moreover, the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed ligand exchange, where the imidazole linkers of the ZIF-8 structure replace the NCs ligands. The process advances almost epitaxial attachment of the latter, thus promoting effective charge interactions in the integration process. Indeed, we observe that upon formation of the composite, there is a 92% quenching in the photoluminescence (PL) of the NCs. This finding further indicates efficient charge separation and reduced electron-hole recombination. To gain deeper insight into the charge transfer mechanisms, we conducted electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements to compare the radical generation capabilities of CPB and ZIF with those of the CPB/ZIF composite. The composite exhibited superior radical generation capabilities, particularly hydroxyl radicals (˙OH), indicating enhanced charge transfer. These findings suggest that the composite is a highly promising candidate for photocatalysis. Building on these findings, we explored the photocatalytic abilities of the composite through dye degradation experiments, using methyl orange (MO) and bromocresol green (BCG) as model dyes. The CPB/ZIF nanocomposite demonstrated significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance compared to pristine ZIF and CPB NCs. Specifically, its degradation rates were 1.48× and 1.75× higher for MO and BCG, respectively, than those of CPB NCs. This improvement highlights the effective interaction between CPB NCs and ZIF, establishing the CPB/ZIF nanocomposite as a promising material for photocatalysis and optoelectronic applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":18806,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Advances","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12076080/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144078661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Polymeric nanocarriers, in particular, offer significant advantages, such as customizable physical and chemical properties, biocompatibility, and the potential for targeted delivery. Among polymeric nanocarriers, poly(β-amino ester) (PBAE) polymers are notable for their biodegradability, low cytotoxicity, and high gene transfection efficiency.

Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry were utilized to evaluate cellular uptake and transfection efficiency. The results demonstrated appropriate transfection efficiency and significant gene expression in both hard-to-transfect cell types (jurkat up to 37% and primary T cell 5%), with optimized DNA-to-polymer ratios showing minimal cytotoxicity.

In this work, magnetic nanostructures of Ni are incorporated in ZnO thin films in a vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) form to couple magnetic and plasmonic response in a complex hybrid metamaterial system. Nickel (Ni) is of interest due to its ferromagnetic and plasmonic properties along with gold (Au) which is also plasmonic.

Additionally, there is effective tuning of properties. Specifically, the seeding layer thickness causes hyperbolic behavior as well as redshift in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) wavelength.

Additionally, a scavenger study confirmed that superoxide radicals (˙O<sub>2</sub> <sup>-</sup>) and holes (h<sup>+</sup>) were major reactive species in the photodegradation of CR. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity was remarkable, with the highest inhibition zone measuring 20.7 mm against <i>Salmonella typhimurium</i>. This study provides a promising approach for developing highly efficient photocatalysts with strong adsorption capabilities whilst also broadening their application as antibacterial agents.</p>","PeriodicalId":18806,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Advances","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12041882/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144003247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
