Energy Storage and Conversion
Supercapacitors: Silver-gold nanotubes are being studied for use in supercapacitors due to their excellent conductivity and high surface area. When incorporated into the electrodes of supercapacitors, these nanotubes can improve the energy storage capacity, charge/discharge rate, and cycling stability of the device.
Battery Technology: Ag-Au nanotubes can be used as electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries or sodium-ion batteries. The conductive properties of silver and gold enhance the charge transfer and cycling performance, while the hollow structure can provide additional space for the accommodation of ions during battery operation.
Photovoltaics: Due to their plasmonic properties, silver-gold nanotubes can be used in solar cell applications to enhance light absorption and increase the efficiency of solar energy harvesting. The nanotubes’ ability to concentrate and scatter light can potentially improve the performance of photovoltaic devices.
Environmental Remediation
Water Purification: The high surface reactivity and plasmonic properties of Ag-Au nanotubes enable them to be used in water purification processes. They can be functionalized to adsorb heavy metals and organic pollutants from contaminated water. Additionally, silver’s antimicrobial properties can help in the removal of pathogens and bacteria.
Air Filtration: Ag-Au nanotubes can also be used in air filtration systems for the removal of harmful gases and particulate matter. Their surface properties make them suitable for the adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxic gases like nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) or carbon monoxide (CO).
