Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 and its variants that continue to emerge have necessitated the implementation of effective disinfection strategies. Developing self-disinfecting surfaces can be a potential route for reducing fomite transmissions of infectious viruses. We show the effectiveness of TiO2 nanotubes (T_NTs) on photocatalytic inactivation of human coronavirus, HCoV-OC43, as well as SARS-CoV-2. T_NTs were synthesized by the anodization process, and their impact on photocatalytic inactivation was evaluated by the detection of residual viral genome copies (quantitative real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) and infectious viruses (infectivity assays). T_NTs with different structural morphologies, wall thicknesses, diameters, and lengths were prepared by varying the time and applied potential during anodization. The virucidal efficacy was tested under different UV-C exposure times to understand the photocatalytic reaction's kinetics. We showed that the T_NT presence boosts the inactivation process and demonstrated complete inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 as well as HCoV-OC43 within 30 s of UV-C illumination. The remarkable cyclic stability of these T_NTs was revealed through a reusability experiment. The spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses have been reported to correlate and quantify the effects of the physical features of T_NT with photoactivity. We anticipate that the proposed one-dimensional T_NT will be applicable for studying the surface inactivation of other coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2 variants due to similarities in their genomic structure.

Abstract
Solar energy driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a clean and powerful approach for renewable hydrogen production. The design and construction of metal oxide based nanoarray photoanodes is one of the promising strategies to make the continuous breakthroughs in solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency of PEC cells owing to their owned several advantages including enhanced reactive surface at the electrode/electrolyte interface, improved light absorption capability, increased charge separation efficiency and direct electron transport pathways. In this Review, we first introduce the structure, work principle and their relevant efficiency calculations of a PEC cell. We then give a summary of the state-of the-art research in the preparation strategies and growth mechanism for the metal oxide based nanoarrays, and some details about the performances of metal oxide based nanoarray photoanodes for PEC water splitting. Finally, we discuss key aspects which should be addressed in continued work on realizing high-efficiency metal oxide based nanoarray photoanodes for PEC solar water splitting systems.

Constructing a Green Light Photodetector on Inorganic/Organic Semiconductor Homogeneous Hybrid Nanowire Arrays with Remarkably Enhanced Photoelectric Response.

Abstract
We demonstrate that a novel photodetector is constructed by CdS/poly( p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) homogeneous hybrid nanowire arrays via a simple template-assisted electrochemical codeposition approach. Owing to the well-matched energy levels between CdS and PPV, the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes in CdS/PPV hybrid nanowire arrays is greatly inhibited. It is found that the homogeneous hybrid nanowire arrays exhibit remarkably enhanced photoelectric response and the ON/OFF ratio by 17 times compared to the individual CdS component. More importantly, the CdS/PPV hybrid nanowire arrays are observed with significant spectral selectivity especially for green light under 545 nm. In addition, a straight linear relationship is obtained between the ON/OFF ratios and the illumination intensities, implying that the quantitative detection of illumination intensity can be achieved. The new as-prepared homogeneous hybrid organic/inorganic semiconductor nanowire arrays have a bright prospect for applications in high-sensitivity and high-speed green photodetectors.
