Photoinduced reduction, resulting in nanoparticle formation, and heat-induced oxidation of doped silver have been demonstrated in silsesquioxane (RSiO3/2) and RSiO3/2–TiO2 films (R = methyl, vinyl, and glycidoxypropyl) synthesized via the sol–gel method. The occurrence of redox behavior in the doped silver, i.e. formation and dissociation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the films, was confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The films containing vinyl and glycidoxypropyl organic functional groups were found to effectively reduce silver ions upon UV irradiation, whereas the film containing the methyl group substituent did not. Incorporation of a TiO2 component into the RSiO3/2 films caused thermal dissociation of the AgNPs. The formation and dissociation of AgNPs in the films was reversible by reiterating the cycle of UV irradiation and heat treatment.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
