This research focuses on the use of bimetallic nanomaterials (BNMs), specifically Ag-Cr NPs, in molecular logic computing and information security protection. The synthesis method involves sequentially adding reactants under ice bath conditions. The Ag-Cr NPs demonstrate dynamic and selective sensing capabilities for anions and reductants in multiple channels. Additionally, the response patterns of the Ag-Cr NPs can be converted into binary strings for molecular crypto-steganography to encode, store, and hide information. This research aims to enhance information security and deepen the connection between molecular sensing and the information world.
Bimetallic nanomaterials (BNMs) have been used in sensing, biomedicine, and environmental remediation, but their multipurpose and comprehensive applications in molecular logic computing and information security protection have received little attention. Herein, This synthesis method is achieved by sequentially adding reactants under ice bath conditions. Interestingly, Ag-Cr NPs can dynamically selectively sense anions and reductants in multiple channels. Especially, ClO- can be quantitatively detected by oxidizing Ag-Cr NPs with detection limits of 98.37 nM (at 270 nm) and 31.83 nM (at 394 nm). Based on sequential-dependent synthesis process of Ag-Cr NPs, Boolean logic gates and customizable molecular keypad locks are constructed by setting the reactants as the inputs, the states of the resulting solutions as the outputs. Furthermore, dynamically selective response patterns of the Ag-Cr NPs can be converted into binary strings to exploit molecular crypto-steganography to encode, store, and hide information. By integrating the three dimensions of authorization, encryption, and steganography, 3 in 1 advanced information protection based on Ag-Cr nanosensing system can be achieved, which can enhance the anti-cracking ability of information. This research will promote the development and application of nanocomposites in the field of information security and deepen the connection between molecular sensing and the information world.
