Abstract
Sonosensitizers-assisted sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has been emerging as a promising treatment for cancers, and yet few specific regulations of band structure of sonosensitizers have been reported in relation to oxygen in tissues. Herein, by a gradient doping technique to modulate the band structure of hetero-semiconductor nanorods, it is found that the reduction potential of band-edge is very critical to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production under low-intensity ultrasound (US) irradiation and particularly, when aligned with the reduction of oxygen, ROS generation is found to be most significantly enhanced. Withal, US-generated oxidation holes are found to be effective in consuming overexpressed glutathione in tumor lesions, which amplifies cellular oxidative stress and finally induces tumor cell death. Moreover, the intrinsic fluorescence property of semiconductors provides imaging capability to illumine tumor area and guide the SDT process. This study demonstrates that the reduction potential state of sonosensitizers is of crucial importance in ROS generation and the proposed reduction potential-tailored hetero-semiconductor nanorods materialize low-intensity US irradiation yet highly effective SDT and synergetic hole therapy of tumors with imaging guidance and reduced radiation injury.

Abstract
One-dimensional colloidal semiconductor nanowires are of wide interest in nanoscale electronics and photonics. As compared to the zero-dimensional counterparts, their geometrical anisotropy offers an additional degree of freedom to tailor the electronic and optical properties and enables customized heterostructures with increased complexity. The colloidal synthetic chemistry developed over past decades has fueled the emergence of diverse one-dimensional nanocrystals and heterostructures, whereas the synthetic pursuit for compositionally and structurally defining them at the atomic-level precision remains yet a giant challenge. Catalyzed growth, wherein nanowires grow at the catalyst-nanowire interfaces in a layer-by-layer manner, offers a promising path toward such an ultimate goal. In this Perspective, we will take a close look at how catalyzed growth would enable the on-demand, atomic-precision control of colloidal nanowires and their heterostructures. We then further highlight their potentials for constructing higher-order heteroarchitectures with new and/or enhanced performances. Finally, we conclude with a forward-looking perspective on future challenges.

Abstract
Colloidal copper(I) sulfide (Cu2-x S) nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted much attention for a wide range of applications because of their unique optoelectronic properties, driving scientists to explore the potential of using Cu2-x S NCs as seeds in the synthesis of heteronanocrystals to achieve new multifunctional materials. Herein, we developed a multistep synthesis strategy toward Cu2-x S/ZnS heteronanorods. The Janus-type Cu2-x S/ZnS heteronanorods are obtained by the injection of hexagonal high-chalcocite Cu2-x S seed NCs in a hot zinc oleate solution in the presence of suitable surfactants, 20 s after the injection of sulfur precursors. The Cu2-x S seed NCs undergo rapid aggregation and coalescence in the first few seconds after the injection, forming larger NCs that act as the effective seeds for heteronucleation and growth of ZnS. The ZnS heteronucleation occurs on a single (100) facet of the Cu2-x S seed NCs and is followed by fast anisotropic growth along a direction that is perpendicular to the c-axis, thus leading to Cu2-x S/ZnS Janus-type heteronanorods with a sharp heterointerface. Interestingly, the high-chalcocite crystal structure of the injected Cu2-x S seed NCs is preserved in the Cu2-x S segments of the heteronanorods because of the high-thermodynamic stability of this Cu2-x S phase. The Cu2-x S/ZnS heteronanorods are subsequently converted into single-component Cu2-x S and CuInS2 nanorods by postsynthetic topotactic cation exchange. This work expands the possibilities for the rational synthesis of colloidal multicomponent heteronanorods by allowing the design principles of postsynthetic heteroepitaxial seeded growth and nanoscale cation exchange to be combined, yielding access to a plethora of multicomponent heteronanorods with diameters in the quantum confinement regime.

Abstract
Branched heterostructured semiconductor nanoparticles such as core seeded tetrapods and octapods offer properties not seen in their spherical core-shell counterparts, but are challenging to synthesize with a large diversity of branch numbers via heterogeneous nucleation and growth processes alone. This work describes a process to facet-link matchstick-like Ag2S-tipped ZnS nanorods via their Ag2S tips, producing branched Ag2S-centered ZnS nanoparticles such as bipods, tripods, and in general multipods with 4 to 16 ZnS arms as a function of reaction time. The angle between nanorods in the bipods and tripods is found to be close to 120°, resulting in unexpected bent and trigonal planar geometry, respectively. This is attributed to the exposed facets of the monoclinic Ag2S tips, their relative chemical reactivities, and their atomic composition. The formation of particles with an increasing number of branches takes place in a stepwise manner, thus making the facet-linking approach a facile synthesis route to systematically obtaining a diverse set of branched heterostructured semiconductor nanoparticles with a well-defined number of branches.

Abstract
Matchstick-like Ag2S-ZnS nanorods (NRs) with a tunable aspect ratio (AR) were synthesized using one-pot thermal decomposition. The ultraviolet photoelectron spectra and time-resolved photoluminescence spectra of the Ag2S-ZnS NRs were collected to study their electronic band structures and charge carrier dynamics. The energy difference (ΔE) at the interface between the ZnS stem and Ag2S tip was altered as the AR of Ag2S-ZnS NRs increased from 11.9 to 18.4, resulting in an enlarged driving force for the delocalized electrons along the conduction band of ZnS being injected into that of Ag2S. The interfacial electron transfer rate constant (ket) from ZnS to Ag2S could be enhanced by ∼2 orders of magnitude from 5.27 × 106 to 3.24 × 108 s-1, leading to a significant improvement in the efficiency of solar hydrogen generation. This investigation provides new physical insights into the manipulation of charge carrier dynamics by means of AR adjustment in semiconductor nanoheterostructures for photoelectric conversions.

Abstract
Chirality-the property of an object wherein it is distinguishable from its mirror image-is of widespread interest in chemistry and biology1-6. Regioselective magnetization of one-dimensional semiconductors enables anisotropic magnetism at room temperature, as well as the manipulation of spin polarization-the properties essential for spintronics and quantum computing technology7. To enable oriented magneto-optical functionalities, the growth of magnetic units has to be achieved at targeted locations on a parent nanorod. However, this challenge is yet to be addressed in the case of materials with a large lattice mismatch. Here, we report the regioselective magnetization of nanorods independent of lattice mismatch via buffer intermediate catalytic layers that modify interfacial energetics and promote regioselective growth of otherwise incompatible materials. Using this strategy, we combine materials with distinct lattices, chemical compositions and magnetic properties, that is, a magnetic component (Fe3O4) and a series of semiconducting nanorods absorbing across the ultraviolet and visible spectrum at specific locations. The resulting heteronanorods exhibit optical activity as induced by the location-specific magnetic field. The regioselective magnetization strategy presented here enables a path to designing optically active nanomaterials for chirality and spintronics.

Abstract
Benefiting from their ultra-small diameters and highly structural anisotropies, ultrathin semiconductor nanowires (USNWs) are well-known for their fascinating physical/chemical properties, as well as their promising applications in various fields. However, until now, it remains a challenge to synthesize high-quality USNWs with well-controlled diameters and lengths, let alone the exploration of their size-dependent properties and applications. To solve such a challenge, we report herein a ligand-induced low-temperature precursor thermolysis route for the controlled preparation of ultrathin ZnS nanowires, which is based on the oriented assembly of the in-situ formed ZnS clusters/tiny particles. Optimized synthetic conditions allowed the synthesis of ZnS nanowires with a diameter down to 1.0 nm and a length approaching 330 nm. The as-prepared ultrathin ZnS nanowires were then intensively examined by morphological, spectroscopic and electrochemical analytical means to explore their size-dependent optical absorption properties, photocatalytic activities and band-edge energy levels, as well as their underlying growth mechanism. Notably, these USNWs, especially for the thinnest nanowires, were identified to possess an excellent performance in both the selective absorption of ultraviolet (UV) light and photocatalytic degradation of dyes, thus enabling them to serve as longpass ultraviolet filters and high-efficiency photocatalysts, respectively. For the ultrathin ZnS nanowires with a diameter of 1.0 nm, it was also interesting to observe that their exciton absorption peak positions were kept almost unchanged during the continuous extension of their lengths, which has not been reported previously.

Abstract
Nanostructured metal sulfide-amine hybrid materials have attracted attention because of their unique properties and versatility as precursors for functional inorganic nanomaterials. However, large-scale synthesis of metal sulfide-amine hybrid nanomaterials is limited by hydrothermal and solvothermal preparative reaction conditions; consequently, incorporation of such materials into functional nanomaterials is hindered. An amine molecule-assisted refluxing method was used to synthesize highly uniform zinc sulfide⋅(diethylenetriamine)0.5 (ZnS⋅(DETA)0.5 ) hybrid nanosheets and nanobelts in a large scale. The obtained ZnS⋅(DETA)0.5 hybrid nanomaterials can be used as efficient precursors to fabricate functional ZnS nanomaterials and carbon encapsulated sulfur (S@C) nanocomposite cathodes for Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Heteronanomaterials composed of suitable semiconductors enable the direct conversion from solar power into clean and renewable energy. Ternary heterostructures with appropriate configuration and morphology possess rich and varied properties, especially for improving the photocatalytic activity and stability synchronously. However, suitable ternary heterostructure prototypes and facile while effective strategy for modulating their morphology and configuration are still scarce. Herein, various ternary ZnS-CdS-Zn(1-x)Cd(x)S heterostructures with tunable morphology (0 to 2 D) and semiconductor configurations (randomly distributed, interface mediated, and quantum dots sensitized core@shell heterostructures) were facilely synthesized via one-pot hydrothermal method resulting from the different molecular structures of the amine solvents. Semiconductor morphology, especially configuration of the ternary heterostructure, shows dramatic effect on their photocatalytic activity. The CdS sensitized porous Zn(1-x)CdxS@ZnS core@shell takes full advantage of ZnS, Zn(1-x)Cd(x)S and CdS and shows the maximal photocatalytic H2-production rate of 100.2 mmol/h/g and excellent stability over 30 h. This study provides some guidelines for the design and synthesis of high-performance ternary heterostructure via modulation of semiconductor configuration and morphology using one-pot method.

Abstract
We designed and successfully fabricated a ZnS/CdS 3D mesoporous heterostructure with a mediating Zn1-x Cd x S interface that serves as a charge carrier transport channel for the first time. The H2-production rate and the stability of the heterostructure involving two sulfides were dramatically and simultaneously improved by the careful modification of the interface state via a simple post-annealing method. The sample prepared with the optimal parameters exhibited an excellent H2-production rate of 106.5 mmol h-1 g-1 under visible light, which was 152 and 966 times higher than CdS prepared using ethylenediamine and deionized water as the solvent, respectively. This excellent H2-production rate corresponded to the highest value among the CdS-based photocatalysts. Moreover, this heterostructure showed excellent photocatalytic stability over 60 h.

Abstract
Foreign ions are of significant importance in controlling and modulating the morphology of semiconductor nanocrystals during the colloidal synthesis process. Herein, we demonstrate the potential of foreign metal ions to simultaneously control the morphology and crystal phase of chalcogenide semiconductors. The results indicate that the introduction of Al(3+) ions can induce the structural transformation from monoclinic CuClSe2 microribbons (MRs) to klockmannite CuSe nanosheets (NSs) and the growth of large-sized CuSe NSs. The as-prepared micrometer-sized CuSe NSs exhibit a high-conducting behavior, long-term durability, and environment stability. The novel properties enable CuSe NSs to open up a bright prospect for printable electrical interconnects and flexible electronic devices.

Abstract
Unique kinked semiconductor-metal Au-Ag2S-ZnS and Au-Ag2S-ZnS-Au heteronanorods have been synthesized for the first time by a seed-mediated growth method. A plausible mechanism for the formation of kinked heteronanorods is proposed. The catalytic activity of such novel kinked semiconductor-metal heteronanorods with selective deposition and uniform morphology is also investigated via a model reaction based on the reduction of 4-nitrophenol by NaBH4.

Abstract
Semiconducting heterostructures with type-II band structure have attracted much attention due to their novel physical properties and wide applications in optoelectronics. Herein, we report, for the first time, a controlled synthesis of type-II ZnS/SnO2 heterostructured ribbon composed of SnO2 nanoparticles that uniformly cover the surface of ZnS ribbon via a simple and versatile thermal evaporation approach. Structural analysis indicated that the majority of SnO2 nanoparticles have an equivalent zone axis, i.e., <-313> of rutile SnO2, which is perpendicular to ±(2-1-10) facets (top/down surfaces) of ZnS ribbon. For those SnO2 nanoparticles decorated on ±(01-10) facets (side surfaces) of ZnS ribbon, an epitaxial relationship of (01-10)ZnO//(020)SnO2 and [2-1-10]ZnO//[001]SnO2 was identified. To explore their electronic and optoelectronic properties, we constructed field-effect transistors from as-prepared new heterostructures, which exhibited an n-type characteristic with an on/off ratio of ∼10(3) and a fast carrier mobility of ∼33.2 cm2 V(-1) s(-1). Owing to the spatial separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs from type-II band alignment together with the good contacts between electrodes and ribbon, the resultant photodetector showed excellent photoresponse properties, including large photocurrent, high sensitivity (external quantum efficiency as high as ∼2.4×10(7)%), good stability and reproducibility, and relatively fast response speed. Our results suggest great potential of ZnS/SnO2 heterostructures for efficient UV light sensing, and, more importantly, signify the advantages of type-II semiconducting heterostructures for construction of high-performance nano-photodetectors.
