Abstract
NH3 gas sensors operating at room temperature, consisting of Ag nanoparticles decorated β-AgVO3 nanorods (Ag/β-AgVO3 NRs), were fabricated via a facile hydrothermal method without the need for a template. The surface characteristics and compositions of Ag/β-AgVO3 NRs were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ag nanoparticles, ranging in diameter from approximately 20 to 40 nm, were dispersed on the surface of monoclinic β-AgVO3 NRs with diameters ranging from 50 to 105 nm and lengths from 0.3 to 1.3 μm. The NH3 gas sensing properties of Ag/β-AgVO3 NRs were studied under both dry air and humid conditions at room temperature. Comparative analysis demonstrated that the Ag/β-AgVO3 NRs exhibited a strong response to NH3 gas under 70% relative humidity (RH) at room temperature compared to α-AgVO3 NRs. Specifically, the response of the Ag/β-AgVO3 NRs to 5 ppm NH3 increased by 2.25 times as the RH varied from 20% to 80% at room temperature. This enhanced response was attributed to the effects of formation of nanoheterojunctions, nano-metallic Ag activity and the conductivity of NH4+ and OH- ions induced by the presence of humidity. The room temperature NH3 gas sensors based on Ag/β-AgVO3 NRs demonstrated strong responses to low NH3 concentrations, high selectivity, good reproducibility, and long-term stability, and show promise for the development of low-power and cost-effective NH3 gas sensors for practical applications even under high humidity.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a non-destructive and ultrasensitive detection tool used for a variety of contaminants in recent years. In this paper, we synthesized a multifunctional Ag2CO3 nanocomposite for a sensitive SERS detection and photodegradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye. The proposed Ag2CO3 substrate was characterized using XRD, UV-vis, FESEM, EDX and TEM techniques. Ag2CO3 exhibited a strong SERS sensitivity with a detection limit of 10-11 M and good reproducibility for the detection of RhB molecules. The degradation efficiency of Ag2CO3 under visible light irradiation was found to be 95%. The SERS and photocatalysis mechanisms were proposed considering the charge-transfer paths between the substrate and RhB molecules. Additionally, an excellent reusability property of Ag2CO3 microcrystals was observed for SERS detection due to its catalytic activity. This work explores the potential usability of Ag2CO3 substrate as a promising candidate for detection and photodegradation applications.

Abstract
Silver vanadate nanorods (β-AgVO3) with silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) decorated on the surface of the rods were synthesized by using simple hydrothermal technique and later anchored onto nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) to make a novel nanocomposite. Experimental analyses were carried out to identify the electronic configuration by X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, which revealed monoclinic patterns of the C12/m1 space group with Wulff construction forming beta silver vanadate (β-AgVO3) crystals with optical density and phase transformations. Ag nucleation showed consistent results with metallic formation and electronic changes occurring in [AgO5] and [AgO3] clusters. Transmission electron microscopy and field-emission scanning electron microscopy with elemental mapping and EDX analysis of the morphology reveals the nanorod structure for β-AgVO3 with AgNPs on the surface and sheets for N-rGO. Additionally, a novel electrochemical sensor is constructed by using Ag/AgVO3/N-rGO on screen-printed carbon paste electrodes for the detection of antiviral drug levofloxacin (LEV) which is used as a primary antibiotic in controlling COVID-19. Using differential pulse voltammetry, LEV is determined with a low detection limit of 0.00792 nm for a linear range of 0.09-671 μM with an ultrahigh sensitivity of 152.19 μA μM-1 cm-2. Furthermore, modified electrode performance is tested by real-time monitoring using biological and river samples.

Abstract
Beta-lactoglobulin is a natural milk protein and the main cause of infant milk allergy. In this work, a sensitive, selective and inexpensive electrochemical biosensor for the detection of β-lactoglobulin was developed. In this sensor, a DNA aptamer was used instead of an expensive antibody as the recognition group highly selective for β-lactoglobulin. The flower-like BiVO4 microspheres were firstly found to have peroxidase mimic catalytic activity and used to amplify the electrochemical signal. The aptamer can bind β-lactoglobulin and fall off from the working electrode, after which the DNA2/Au/BiVO4 probe can be fixed to the DNA1/AuNPs/ITO working electrode by the hybridization of DNA2 with DNA1. Therefore, a higher concentration of β-lactoglobulin leads to increased fabrication of the DNA2/Au/BiVO4 probe on the surface of the working electrode, and thereby increases the electrochemical signal. This electrochemical biosensor exhibited a wide detection range from 0.01 to 1000 ng mL-1, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.007 ng mL-1, which indicates a good potential application in the field of food analysis.

Abstract
Porphyrin complexes are well-known for their application in solar-cell systems and as catalysts; however, their use in electrochemical energy-storage applications has scarcely been studied. Here, a tetra-alkenyl-substituted [5,10,15,20-tetra(ethynyl)porphinato]copper(II) (CuTEP) complex was used as anode material in a high-performance lithium-free CuTEP/PP14 TFSI/graphite cell [PP14 TFSI=1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide]. Thereby, the influence of size and morphology on the electrochemical performance of the cell was thoroughly investigated. Three different nanocrystal CuTEP morphologies, namely nanobricks, nanosheets, and nanoribbons, were studied as anode material, and the best cyclability and highest rate capability were obtained for the nanoribbon samples. A high specific power density of 14 kW kg-1 (based on active material) and excellent rechargeability were achieved with negligible capacity decay over 1000 cycles at a high current density of 5 A g-1 . These results indicate that the porphyrin complex CuTEP could be a promising electrode material in high-performance lithium-free batteries.

Abstract
Silver vanadium oxide (SVO) and Silver Vanadium Oxide/Vanadium Oxide (SVO@VO) composite hydrogels are formed from the self-entanglement of β-AgVO3 nanoribbons and slightly reduced vanadium oxide (VO) (VV1.6VIV0.4O4.8) nanoribbons; respectively. Starting from randomly distributed nanoribbons within hydrogels, and after a controlled drying process, a homogeneous xerogel system containing tuneable SVO : VO ratios from 1 : 0 to 1 : 1 can be obtained. The precise nanoribbons compositional control of these composite system can serve as a tool to tune the electrical properties of the xerogels, as it has been demonstrated in this work by impedance spectroscopy (IS) experiments. Indeed, depending on the composition and temperature conditions, composite xerogels can behave as electronic, protonic or high temperature ionic conductors. In addition, the electric and protonic conductivity of the composite xerogels can be enhanced (until a critical irreversible point), through the temperature triggered charge carrier creation. As concluded from thermogravimetry, IR, UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopy studies, besides the SVO : VO ratio, the thermal induced oxidation/reduction of V5+ to V4+, and thermally triggered release of strongly bonded water molecules at the nanoribbon surface are the two key variables that control the electric and ionic conduction processes within the SVO and composite SVO/VO xerogels. Assembly of SVO and slightly reduced VO nanoribbons in inorganic hydrogels enables the formation of proton conductor and electron conductor xerogels depending on the SVO/VO ratio. Thermal charge carrier activation results in enhanced conductivity.![]()

Abstract
This study reports a visible light-driven plasmonic photocatalyst of Au deposited AgVO3 nanocomposites prepared by a hydrothermal method, and further in situ modification of Au nanoparticles by a reducing agent of NaHSO3 in an aqueous solution at room temperature. Various characterization techniques, such as SEM, TEM, XRD, EDS, XPS, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, were used to reveal the morphology, composition, and related properties. The results show that belt-like AgVO3 nanoparticles with a width of ∼100 nm were successfully synthesized, and Au nanoparticles with controlled sizes (5-20 nm) were well distributed on the surface of the nanobelts. The UV-vis absorption spectra indicate that the decoration of Au nanoparticles can modulate the optical properties of the nanocomposites, namely, red shift occurs with the increase of Au content. The photocatalytic activities were measured by monitoring the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) with the presence of photocatalysts under visible light irradiation. The photodegradation results show that AgVO3 nanobelts exhibit good visible light photocatalytic activities with a degradation efficiency of 98% in 50 min and a reaction rate constant of 0.025 min-1 towards 30 ppm RhB. With the modification of Au nanoparticles, photocatalytic activity basically increases with the molar ratio of Au to V. Among the Au@AgVO3 nanocomposites, the 3% (molar ratio) Au decorated AgVO3 nanobelts showed the highest photocatalytic activity, and the k (0.064 min-1) was almost two times higher than that of the pure AgVO3 nanobelts. This can be attributed to several factors including specific surface areas, optical properties, and the energy band structure of the composites under visible light illumination. These findings may be useful for the practical use of visible light-driven photocatalysts with enhanced photocatalytic efficiencies for environmental remediation.

The electronic configuration, morphology, optical features, and antibacterial activity of metastable α-AgVO3 crystals have been discussed by a conciliation and association of the results acquired by experimental procedures and first-principles calculations. The α-AgVO3 powders were synthesized using a coprecipitation method at 10, 20, and 30 °C. By using a Wulff construction for all relevant low-index surfaces [(100), (010), (001), (110), (011), (101), and (111)], the fine-tuning of the desired morphologies can be achieved by controlling the values of the surface energies, thereby lending a microscopic understanding to the experimental results. The as-synthesized α-AgVO3 crystals display a high antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The results obtained from the experimental and theoretical techniques allow us to propose a mechanism for understanding the relationship between the morphological changes and antimicrobial performance of α-AgVO3.

Abstract
The majority of electrode materials in batteries and related electrochemical energy storage devices are fashioned into slurries via the addition of a conductive additive and a binder. However, aggregation of smaller diameter nanoparticles in current generation electrode compositions can result in non-homogeneous active materials. Inconsistent slurry formulation may lead to inconsistent electrical conductivity throughout the material, local variations in electrochemical response, and the overall cell performance. Here we demonstrate the hydrothermal preparation of Ag nanoparticle (NP) decorated α-AgVO3 nanowires (NWs) and their conversion to tunnel structured β-AgVO3 NWs by annealing to form a uniform blend of intercalation materials that are well connected electrically. The synthesis of nanostructures with chemically bound conductive nanoparticles is an elegant means to overcome the intrinsic issues associated with electrode slurry production, as wire-to-wire conductive pathways are formed within the overall electrode active mass of NWs. The conversion from α-AgVO3 to β-AgVO3 is explained in detail through a comprehensive structural characterization. Meticulous EELS analysis of β-AgVO3 NWs offers insight into the true β-AgVO3 structure and how the annealing process facilitates a higher surface coverage of Ag NPs directly from ionic Ag content within the α-AgVO3 NWs. Variations in vanadium oxidation state across the surface of the nanowires indicate that the β-AgVO3 NWs have a core-shell oxidation state structure, and that the vanadium oxidation state under the Ag NP confirms a chemically bound NP from reduction of diffused ionic silver from the α-AgVO3 NWs core material. Electrochemical comparison of α-AgVO3 and β-AgVO3 NWs confirms that β-AgVO3 offers improved electrochemical performance. An ex situ structural characterization of β-AgVO3 NWs after the first galvanostatic discharge and charge offers new insight into the Li+ reaction mechanism for β-AgVO3. Ag+ between the van der Waals layers of the vanadium oxide is reduced during discharge and deposited as metallic Ag, the vacant sites are then occupied by Li+.

Abstract
Single crystalline, non-toxicity, and long-term stability graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were modified onto the AgVO3 nanoribbons by a facile hydrothermal and sintering technique which constructs a unique heterojunction photocatalyst. Characterization results indicate that GQDs are well dispersed on the surface of AgVO3 nanoribbons and GQD/AgVO3 heterojunctions are formed, which can greatly promote the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs under visible light irradiation. By taking advantage of this feature, the GQD/AgVO3 heterojunctions exhibit considerable improvement on the photocatalytic activities for the degradation of ibuprofen (IBP) under visible light irradiation as compared to pure AgVO3. The photocatalytic activity of GQD/AgVO3 heterojunctions is relevant with GQD ratio and the optimal activity is obtained at 3wt% with the highest separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Integrating the physicochemical and photocatalytic properties, the factors controlling the photocatalytic activity of GQD/AgVO3 heterojunctions are discussed in detail. Moreover, potential photocatalytic degradation mechanisms of IBP via GQD/AgVO3 heterojunctions under visible light are proposed.

Abstract
A facile two-step strategy involving a solvothermal method and a subsequent calcining treatment was successfully developed for the preparation of MoV2O8 nanorods in the absence of any surfactants. Acetic acid was chosen as the solvent to provide an acidic environment. The as-synthesized MoV2O8 nanorods were evaluated as an anode material in lithium ion batteries, which showed excellent lithium storage performance in terms of its specific capacity, rate performance, and cycling stability. It could deliver a specific capacity of over 1325 mA h g(-1) after 50 cycles at 0.2 A g(-1), which is much higher than that of bulk MoV2O8 (617 mA h g(-1)). When the cell was cycled at a current density as high as 10.0 A g(-1), it still maintained a high specific capacity of around 570 mA h g(-1). The phase transformation, intercalation-deintercalation and partial redox processes are responsible for the lithium storage mechanism of MoV2O8 based on ex situ X-ray diffraction, X-ray photo electron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy studies, highlighting a new lithium storage mechanism for ternary metal oxides.

The hybrid nanostructure with nanoscroll buffered effect provides facile strain relaxation for swelling during lithiation/delithiation, resulting in the excellent structural stability and cyclability. The interior of nanoscrolls and the interconnected voids shorten the ion diffusion pathway, which greatly enhances the rate performance.

Abstract
The improvement of the electrochemical properties of electrode materials with large capacity and good capacity retention is becoming an important task in the field of lithium ion batteries (LIBs). We designed a function-oriented hybrid material consisting of silver vanadium oxide (β-AgVO(3)) nanowires modified with uniform Ag nanoparticles and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a high-performance cathode material for LIBs. The Ag nanoparticles which precipitated automatically in the synthetic process act as a bridge between the β-AgVO(3) nanowires and CNTs, creating a self-bridged network structure. The Ag particles at the junction of the nanowires and CNTs facilitate electron transport from the CNTs to the nanowires, and thereby improve the electrical conductivity of the β-AgVO(3) nanowires and the composite. Moreover, the self-bridged network is hierarchically porous with a high surface area. When used as a cathode material, this composite electrode reveals high discharge capacities, excellent rate capability, and good cycling stability. The improved performance of the composite arises from its unique nanosized β-AgVO(3) nanowires with short diffusion pathway for lithium ions, efficient electron collection and transfer in the presence of Ag nanoparticles, together with excellent electrical conductivity of CNTs.

Abstract
In this investigation, a facile sonochemical route has been developed for the preparation of silver vanadium oxide (SVO) micro/nanorods by using silver salicylate and ammonium metavanadate as silver and vanadate precursor, respectively. Here, silver salicylate, [Ag(HSal)], is introduced as a new silver precursor to fabricate AgVO(3) nanorods. The effect of numerous solvents and surfactants on the morphology and sonochemical formation mechanism of AgVO(3) nanorods was studied. AgVO(3) nanorods were characterized by SEM and TEM images, XRD patterns, FT-IR, XPS, and EDS spectroscopy. SEM, TEM, and XRD results showed that AgO nanoparticles were formed onto AgVO(3) nanorods in the presence of ethanol, cyclohexanol, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), and acetone. By using polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as organic additives, the thickness of AgVO(3) nanorods decreased.

Abstract
Rational assembly of unique complex nanostructures is one of the facile techniques to improve the electrochemical performance of electrode materials. Here, a substrate-assisted hydrothermal method was designed and applied in synthesizing moundlily like radial β-AgVO(3) nanowire clusters. Gravitation and F(-) ions have been demonstrated to play important roles in the growth of β-AgVO(3) nanowires (NWs) on substrates. The results of cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement and X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization proved the phase transformation from β-AgVO(3) to Ag(1.92)V(4)O(11) during the redox reaction. Further electrochemical investigation showed that the moundlily like β-AgVO(3) nanowire cathode has a high discharge capacity and excellent cycling performance, mainly due to the reduced self-aggregation. The capacity fading per cycle from 3rd to 51st is 0.17% under the current density of 500 mA/g, which is much better than 1.46% under that of 20 mA/g. This phenomenon may be related to the Li(+) diffusion and related kinetics of the electrode. This method is shown to be an effective and facile technique for improving the electrochemical performance for applications in rechargeable Li batteries or Li ion batteries.

Abstract
We designed and successfully synthesized the silver vanadium oxides/polyaniline (SVO/PANI) triaxial nanowires by combining in situ chemical oxidative polymerization and interfacial redox reaction based on β-AgVO(3) nanowires. The β-AgVO(3) core and two distinct layers can be clearly observed in single triaxial nanowire. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopic and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic investigations indicate that the outermost layer is PANI and the middle layer is Ag(x)VO((2.5+0.5x)) (x < 1), which may result from the redox reaction of Ag(+) and aniline monomers at the interface. The presence of the Ag particle in a transmission electron microscopy image confirms the occurrence of the redox reaction. The triaxial nanowires exhibit enhanced electrochemical performance. This method is shown to be an effective and facile technique for improving the electrochemical performance and stability of nanowire electrodes for applications in Li ion batteries.

Abstract
Ultralong orthorhombic silver trimolybdate nanowires (NWs) can be synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process without using any structure directing agent. Their phase transformation and stability to thermal and modeling sunlight from a Xe lamp have been systematically studied. Well-dispersed Ag nanoparticles can in situ form on the backbone of the nanowires by photoirradiation, and their photocatalytic and optical properties have been investigated. The investigations on photocatalytic, photoluminescent, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of the as-synthesized nanowires indicate that these nanowires loaded with Ag nanoparticles by photoirradiation can be a new kind of photocatalytic and luminescent material and potentially can be used as an efficient SERS substrate. The electrical conductivity of an individual nanowire exhibits almost nonlinear and symmetric current/voltage (I/V) characteristics for bias voltages in the range of -5 to 5 V. Ohmic mechanism, Schottky, and the Poole-Frenkel emission play an important part, respectively, in low, medium, and high electrical fields.

Abstract
Hierarchical Cu4V2.15O9.38 micro-/nanostructures have been prepared by a facile "forced hydrolysis" method, from an aqueous peroxovanadate and cupric nitrate solution in the presence of urea. The hierarchical architectures with diameters of 10-20 µm are assembled from flexible nanosheets and rigid nanoplates with widths of 2-4 µm and lengths of 5-10 µm in a radiative way. The preliminary electrochemical properties of Cu4V2.15O9.38 have been investigated for the first time and correlated with its structure. This material delivers a large discharge capacity of 471 mA h g(-1) above 1.5 V, thus making it an interesting electrode material for primary lithium ion batteries used in implantable cardioverter defibrillators.
