To evaluate the biological and mechanical properties of an adhesive with nanostructured silver vanadate (AgVO). Specimens in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were treated with Ultra Corega Cream (UCCA) denture adhesive with or without AgVO. Biofilms of , and were grown and the viable cells counted. Fluorescence microscopy was used. The viability of the VERO cell and adhesive strength were evaluated. All concentrations of AgVO reduced the biofilm formation and showed no cytotoxic effect. At 5 min and 24 h, UCCA with 5 and 10% AgVO showed better performance, respectively. AgVO promoted the antibiofilm activity of the adhesive, with a positive effect on the adhesive strength, and was biocompatible.

Rapid, infection-free wound healing remains a critical challenge in regenerative medicine. This study presents the fabrication and evaluation of multifunctional electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL)-based scaffolds incorporating silver vanadate (AgVO), hydroxyapatite (HAp), and graphene oxide (GO) for advanced wound care applications. AgVO offers potent antibacterial properties, HAp supports osteogenic and regenerative activities and GO enhances both mechanical performance and cellular interactions.

Exploring cost-effective alternatives to Pt-based catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells is crucial for their large-scale deployment in green energy applications. Silver vanadate (AgVO) is a well-studied material for photocatalytic applications. Here, we investigate the electrocatalytic ORR activity of the thermodynamically stable β phase of AgVO through computational modeling based on DFT.

Aqueous rechargeable metal batteries have recently garnered considerable attention owing to their low cost, sufficient capacity, and the use of non-flammable water-based electrolytes. Among them, manganese batteries are particularly favored because of their stability, abundance, affordability, and high energy density. Despite their advantages, Mn storage host structures remain underexplored.

Silver vanadate nanorods were synthesized for the first time via co-precipitation, followed by ambient drying. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses were utilized to investigate the structure and morphology of the nanorods. The results of these analyses confirmed the fabrication of silver vanadate nanorods.

To develop a β-AgVO gel and evaluate its physicochemical stability and antifungal activity against . The gel was prepared from the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of β-AgVO. The physicochemical stability was evaluated by centrifugation, accelerated stability (AS), storage (St), pH, syringability, viscosity and spreadability tests and antifungal activity by the agar diffusion.
