a Oxygen peroxidizes THF into THF peroxide. b 1H NMR spectra of THF and THF peroxide. c Schematic and chemical mechanism of the radical and reactive oxygen species-mediated vigorous etching and reduction reaction of AgFLs into AgNS particles in a SR matrix. Optical images of the pure SR, AgFL-SR (Ag = 44 vol%), and AgNS-AgFL-SR (Ag = 44 vol%, THF peroxide = 15 mL) nanocomposites are also shown. d FTIR spectra of the pure AgFLs, THF-AgFLs, AgNS-AgFLs, and AgNS-AgFL-SR (Ag = 44 vol%, THF peroxide = 15 mL) nanocomposite.
