NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 13:13. [PMID: 36615922 PMCID: PMC9824176 DOI: 10.3390/nano13010013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The formation of heterojunction structures can effectively prevent the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs in semiconductors and result in the enhancement of photoelectric properties. Using TiO2 nanotubes (prepared using the hydrothermal-impregnation method) as carriers, CdS-TiO2NTs were fabricated as a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor, which can be used under visible light and can exhibit good PEC performance due to the existence of the heterojunction structure. The experimental results show that the prepared CdS-TiO2NTs electrode had a linear response to 2-16 mM glutathione (GSH). The sensor's sensitivity and detection limit (LOD) were 102.9 µA·mM-1 cm-2 and 27.7 µM, respectively. Moreover, the biosensor had good stability, indicating the potential application of this kind of heterojunction PEC biosensor.

Abstract
Oriented TiO2 nanotubes, which are fabricated by anodic oxidation method, are prospective in photoelectrochemical analysis and sensors. In this work, Pt and IrO2 co-modified TiO2 nanotubes array was prepared via a two-step deposition process involving the photoreductive deposition of Pt and chemical deposition of IrO2 on the oriented TiO2 nanotubes. Due to the improved separation of photo-generated electrons and holes, Pt-IrO2 co-modified TiO2 nanotubes presented significantly higher PEC activity than pure TiO2 nanotubes or mono-modified TiO2 nanotubes. The PEC sensitivity of Pt-IrO2 co-modified TiO2 nanotubes for glutathione was also monitored and good sensitivity was observed.

Abstract
In this work, different structures based on electrodeposited n-type ZnO nanorods and p-type Cu2O, CuSCN, and NiO nanostructures are fabricated for the degradation of methyl orange (MO). The influence of materials, heterostructure, and orientation for nanohybrids on photocatalytic activity is discussed for the first time. The heterojunction structures show remarkable enhancement compared to the bare semiconductor. The morphology of nanostructure has mainly an influence on the photocatalytic activity. NiO has the highest catalytic activity among the four pristine semiconductor nanostructures of ZnO, Cu2O, CuSCN, and NiO. The greatest enhancement of the photocatalytic activity is obtained using a ZnO/NiO (1 min) heterostructure attributed to the heterojunction structure and extremely higher specific surface area, which can degrade MO (20 mg/L) into colorless within 20 min with the fastest photocatalytic speed among homogeneous heterojunction structures. Meanwhile, the methodology and data analysis described herein will serve as an effective approach for the design of hybrid nanostructures for solar energy application, and the appropriate nanohybrids will have significant potential to solve the environment and energy issues.

Abstract
We demonstrate selective growth of ZnO branched nanostructures: from nanorod clusters (with branches parallel to parent rods) to nanotrees (with branches perpendicular to parent rods). The growth of these structures was realized using a three-step approach: electrodeposition of nanorods (NRs), followed by the sputtering of ZnO seed layers, followed by the growth of branched arms using hydrothermal growth. The density, size and direction of the branches were tailored by tuning the deposition parameters. To our knowledge, this is the first report of control of branch direction. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of the ZnO nanostructures follows the order: nanotrees (NTs) > nanorod clusters (NCs) > parent NRs. The NT structure with the best PEC performance also possesses the shortest fabrication period which had never been reported before. The photocurrent of the NT and NC photoelectrodes is 0.67 and 0.56 mA cm-2 at 1 V vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively, an enhancement of 139% and 100% when compared to the ZnO NR structures. The key reason for the improved performance is shown to be the very large surface-to-volume ratios in the branched nanostructures, which gives rise to enhanced light absorption, improved charge transfer across the nanostructure/electrolyte interfaces to the electrolyte and efficient charge transport within the material.

Abstract
The effective separation and transport of photoinduced electron-hole pairs in photoanodes is of great significance to photoelectrochemical and catalytic performance. Here, a facile and effective two-step strategy is developed to fabricate double-shelled ZnO/CdS/CdSe porous nanotube photoanodes from ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs). Surprisingly, after the process of the deposition of CdS and CdSe, the ZnO nanorod arrays are partially dissolved, resulting in the formation of ZnO/CdS/CdSe porous nanotube arrays (NTAs). By virtue of their unique porous nanotube structure and cosensitization effect, the ZnO/CdS/CdSe porous NTAs show superior photoelectrochemical water-splitting performance and organic-pollutant-degradation ability under visible light irradiation, as well as excellent long-term photostability.
