We report the synthesis of Ag–ZnO hybrid plasmonic nanostructures with enhanced photocatalytic activity by a facile wet-chemical method. The structural, optical, plasmonic and photocatalytic properties of the Ag–ZnO hybrid nanostructures were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL) and UV–visible absorption spectroscopy. The effects of citrate concentration and Ag nanoparticle loading on the photocatalytic activity of Ag–ZnO hybrid nanostructures towards sun-light driven degradation of methylene blue (MB) have been investigated. Increase in citrate concentration has been found to result in the formation of nanodisk-like structures, due to citrate-assisted oriented attachment of ZnO nanoparticles. The decoration of ZnO nanostructures with Ag nanoparticles resulted in a significant enhancement of the photocatalytic degradation efficiency, which has been found to increase with the extent of Ag nanoparticle loading.

Many MEMS/NEMS sensors, including gyroscopes, chemical sensors, and RF filters utilize the mechanical resonance of the MEMS/NEMS structure as a highly sensitive detector. Typically, changes in the external environment lead to changes in the resonant frequency or amplitude. Due to the low-loss of micro and nano mechanical structures, large quality factors are achievable, leading to sharp resonance curves that change greatly after only small changes in the environment. This allows sensitive detectors, but also leads to poor stability and tight fabrication tolerances. This paper will discuss these issues as well as mitigation techniques including feedback control, tuning, differential operation, and sensor fusion, amongst others.
