Ag@AgCl core-shell nanowires were synthesized by oxidation of Ag nanowires with moderate FeCl, which exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity for As(III) oxidation under visible light. It was proved that the photocatalytic oxidation efficiency was significantly dependent on the mole ratio of Ag:AgCl. The oxidation rate of As(III) over Ag@AgCl core-shell nanowires first increased with the decrease of Ag percentage, up until the optimized synthesis mole ratio of Ag nanowires:FeCl was 2.32:2.20, with 0.023 mg L min As(III) oxidation rate; subsequently, the oxidation rate dropped with the further decrease of Ag percentage. Effects of the pH, ionic strength, and concentration of humic acid on Ag@AgCl photocatalytic ability were also studied. Trapping experiments using radical scavengers confirmed that h and ·O acted as the main active species during the visible-light-driven photocatalytic process for As(III) oxidation. The recycling experiments validated that Ag@AgCl core-shell nanowires were a kind of efficient and stable photocatalyst for As(III) oxidation under visible-light irradiation.

We present the engineering of plasmonic nanostructures and their optical properties through the asymmetric oxidative etching of octahedral Au@Ag core-shell nanocrystals. This process utilizes iridium chloride to produce Au@Ag-AgCl-IrO products under hydrothermal conditions. This method deviates from conventional techniques that involve the oxidative etching of Ag nanocubes with Au precursors, which typically results in an isotropic and gradual etching process.

One of the biggest environmental challenges still facing wastewater treatment is the efficient breakdown of dye pollutants such as rhodamine B (RhB). The development of effective photocatalysts that function in sunlight and visible light can greatly improve wastewater treatment systems. Combining reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with silver/silver chloride core-shell nanowires (Ag/AgCl-NW) might offer special optical and structural properties that enhance its photocatalytic activity for RhB degradation.

As an essential reaction of water splitting in alkaline solution, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is seriously limited by its ponderous dynamics and the dissolution of Ru. Herein, we propose a strategy for the electrochemical deposition of Ru nanoparticles on the surface of Ag nanowires (Ag NWs) to generate a core-shell Ru@Ag/AgCl catalyst through an accelerated galvanostatic interaction conducted in RuCl solution. The active sites of Ru were precisely controlled by tailoring the number of cycles in cyclic voltammetry (CV).

With CdSe/CdS/ZnS core/shell/shell quantum dots (QDs) as the model system, time- and potential-resolved spectroelectrochemical measurements are successfully applied for studying the general mechanisms and kinetics of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) generation. The rate constant of electron injection from the cathode into a QD to form a negatively charged QD (QD) increases monotonically from -0.88 V to -1.

Monitoring l-cysteine (l-Cys) is of importance for human health and food safety. Herein, we designed a novel strategy for bimetallic Au and Ag/AgCl anchoring on Ni-doped ZIF-67 to form core-shell nanocubes (Ni-ZIF-67/AuAg/AgCl) using the galvanic replacement processes. The unique properties of ZIF-67 nanocubes were conducive to generating strong synergistic catalytic effects with Au and Ag/AgCl, particularly when Ni-ZIF-67/AuAg/AgCl composites were employed as oxidase mimics for catalyzing the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB).
