“…The key to improving the activity and stability of silver phosphate is to explore and construct new and efficient silver phosphate composite photocatalysts. To this end, researchers have developed a series of complexes by combining materials with silver phosphate, such as CeO 2 , 1 TiO 2 , 2 AgX, 3 GO, 4 Ti 3 C 2 , 5 CdWO 4 , 6 BiVO 4 , 7 ZnO, 8 CuO 9 and g-C 3 N 4 . 10 The results show that an effective composite material is beneficial to the transfer of photogenerated carriers in the material and can effectively inhibit electron–hole recombination, 11 thus improving the photocatalytic activity of the material.…”

“…The results regarding the increasing elimination as a function of the increase in the concentration of AP in PP are consistent with the detections expected because the microbicidal action comes from the semiconductor. 59 − 64 In addition, the semiconductor/polymer interaction impairs the surface fixation of pathogens in the composite, according to the contact angle results.…”

The current unprecedented coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is increasingly demanding advanced materials and new technologies to protect us and inactivate SARS-CoV-2. In this research work, we report the manufacture of Ag 3 PO 4 (AP)/polypropylene (PP) composites using a simple method and also reveal their long-term anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity. This composite shows superior antibacterial (against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli ) and antifungal activity (against Candida albicans ), thus having potential for a variety of technological applications. The as-manufactured materials were characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, AFM, UV–vis spectroscopy, rheology, SEM, and contact angle to confirm their structural integrity. Based on the results of first-principles calculations at the density functional level, a plausible reaction mechanism for the initial events associated with the generation of both hydroxyl radical • OH and superoxide radical anion • O 2 – in the most reactive (110) surface of AP was proposed. AP/PP composites proved to be an attractive avenue to provide human beings with a broad spectrum of biocide activity.

“…39 Under the illumination of visible lights, it shows capacity of photocatalytic oxidation that the sample can catalyze and decompose the organic dyestuff under light illumination. 40 Figure 4A shows the data map about light absorption of three different samples. Compared with the pumices whose optical absorption property is 65.7%, the other two modified samples possess higher optical absorption property.…”

The application of solar-driven interface evaporation photothermal materials in the complex water environment is facing great challenges, and the development of multifunctional photothermal materials is great significance to the practical application process. In this study, a new kind of photothermal material was first prepared based on the natural pumices, which shows great advantages of lightweight, superhydrophilicity, porous property, and heat insulation. To improve its light absorption capacity and photocatalytic effect, carbon and Ag + were uniformly loaded on pumices (named P-C-Ag + ). The as-resulted P-C-Ag + shows an evaporation rate of 1.395 kg m À2 h À1 which refers to an evaporation efficiency of 88.80% in simulated seawater under 1 kW m À2 illumination. In the rooftop experiment, the cumulative evaporation capacity of the simulated solar evaporator with P-C-Ag + in 8 hours can reach about 7.25 kg m À2 . Meanwhile, almost no salt crystallization was found in the surface of P-C-Ag + during the continuous evaporation process. The P-C-Ag + has a good inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli and algae, and can degrade color dyes, which is also beneficial to water environment, thus holding great potential as multifunctional photothermal material for solar steam generation and water treatment.
