Abstract
Diabetes has become a chronic disease that necessitates timely and accurate detection. Among various detection methods, electrochemical glucose sensors have attracted much attention because of low cost, real-time detection, and simple and easy operation. Nonenzymatic biomimetic nanomaterials are the vital part in electrochemical glucose sensors. This review article summarizes the methods to enhance the glucose sensing performance of noble metal, transition metal oxides, and carbon-based materials and introduces biomimetic nanomaterials used in noninvasive glucose detection in sweat, tear, urine, and saliva. Based on these, this review provides the foundation for noninvasive determination of trace glucose for diabetic patients in the future.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) H2 production from water using solar energy is an ideal and environmentally friendly process. CuInS2 is a p-type semiconductor that offers many advantages for PEC H2 production. Therefore, this review summarizes studies on CuInS2-based PEC cells designed for H2 production. The theoretical background of PEC H2 evolution and properties of the CuInS2 semiconductor are initially explored. Subsequently, certain important strategies that have been executed to improve the activity and charge-separation characteristics of CuInS2 photoelectrodes are examined; these include CuInS2 synthesis methods, nanostructure development, heterojunction construction, and cocatalyst design. This review helps enhance the understanding of state-of-the-art CuInS2-based photocathodes to enable the development of superior equivalents for efficient PEC H2 production.

Abstract
Wurtzite CuInS2 exhibits great potential for optoelectronic applications because of its excellent optical properties and good stability. However, exploring effective strategies to simultaneously optimize its optical and photoelectrical properties remains a challenge. In this study, the bandgap of wurtzite CuInS2 nanocrystals is successfully extended and the photocurrent is enhanced synchronously using external pressure. The bandgap of wurtzite CuInS2 increases with pressure and reaches an optimal value (1.5 eV) for photovoltaic solar energy conversion at about 5.9 GPa. Surprisingly, the photocurrent simultaneously increases nearly 3-fold and reaches the maximum value at this critical pressure. Theoretical calculation indicates that the pressure-induced bandgap extention in wurtzite CuInS2 may be attributed to an increased charge density and ionic polarization between the In-S atoms. The photocurrent preserves a relatively high photoresponse even at 8.8 GPa, but almost disappears above 10.3 GPa. The structural evolution demonstrates that CuInS2 undergoes a phase transformation from the wurtzite phase (P63mc) to the rock salt phase (Fm3̄m) at about 10.3 GPa, which resulted in a direct to indirect bandgap transition and fianlly caused a dramatic reduction in photocurrent. These results not only map a new route toward further increase in the photoelectrical performance of wurtzite CuInS2, but also advance the current research of AI-BIII-CVI2 materials.
