1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:

The study uses a self-assembly approach to prepare AgNPs/SiO2NWs/RGO nanocomposites, leveraging intermolecular hydrogen bonds and electrostatic adsorption. The photocatalytic activity is evaluated using the reduction of 4-nitrophenol by NaBH4 under visible light.

2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:

SiO2 nanowires are prepared from Chrysotile, GO is synthesized from flake graphite using the modified Hummers method, and AgNPs are synthesized using sodium borohydride reduction. Various volumes of AgNPs are added to create different nanocomposites.

3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:

Materials include SiO2NWs, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, acetic acid, silver nitrate, sodium citrate, ethanol, sodium borohydride, 4-nitrophenol, and GO. Equipment includes XRD (Panalytical X'Pert Pro), SEM (Zeiss Libra), TEM (Zeiss Libra 200FE), XPS (SSX-100), VSM (BKT-4500Z), BET surface area analyzer (Micromeritics ASAP 2020), UV-vis spectrophotometer (UV2600A), and photo reaction apparatus (BL-GHX-V).

4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:

SiO2NWs are aminated, GO solution is prepared, AgNPs are synthesized and mixed with aminated SiO2NWs and GO, followed by reduction with NaBH4, centrifugation, washing, drying, and characterization. Catalytic tests involve mixing 4-NP, NaBH4, and catalyst under visible light, monitoring with UV-vis spectroscopy.

5：Data Analysis Methods:

XRD for crystalline phases, SEM and TEM for morphology, XPS for elemental states, VSM for magnetic properties, BET for surface area, UV-vis for catalytic activity and kinetics analysis using pseudo-first-order model.
