“…Hydrogen energy plays a crucial role in replacing traditional fossil fuels, owing to its high energy density and environmental friendliness . Sustainable hydrogen generated from photocatalytic water splitting has become a current hot topic, and numerous semiconductors have been reported, such as TiO 2 , ZnO, CdS, ZnIn 2 S 4 , carbon nitride, etc . − As one of the ternary metal chalcogenides, ZnIn 2 S 4 with a two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin layered structure and a moderate band gap of ∼2.48 eV possesses the advantages of a large surface area, a remarkable visible light response, and unique optical properties . Nevertheless, the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution of ZnIn 2 S 4 is limited by the rapid charge recombination .…”

A rational design of a novel ternary-shelled nanotube is attractive in photocatalytic water splitting. Herein, ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets were in situ grown on the surface of MIL-88A-derived Ni−Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH) to fabricate ternary-shelled nanotubes (ZIS@ Ni−Fe LDH) via a self-assembly strategy. Characterization indicates that the ZIS@Ni−Fe LDH heterostructure exhibits a high surface area and a well-defined ternary-shelled hollow structure. The optimal heterostructure presents a remarkably improved photocatalytic hydrogen production rate (2035.81 μmol g −1 h −1 ) compared with bare ZnIn 2 S 4 and MIL-88Aderived Ni−Fe LDH under visible light illumination. The effect of ZnIn 2 S 4 loading on the photocatalytic performance and stability of ZIS@Ni−Fe LDH is systematically studied. The ZIS@Ni−Fe LDH heterostructure can make better use of the inner space, provide abundant reactive sites, improve light harvesting, accelerate interfacial electron transfer, and further promote photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Based on the electrocatalytic performance, the probable photocatalytic mechanism and the electron transfer pathway can be proposed. Our work provides a facile and efficient strategy to construct ternary-shelled heterojunction photocatalysts.

“…22 A small absorption peak at 1632 cm −1 is ascribed to the absorbed water molecule bending vibration and surface hydroxyl groups. 23 Another peak at 3381 cm −1 is ascribed to the O−H stretching mode. No other distinguishing peaks were detected in the spectrum, which confirms that no major impurity was present in the assynthesized nanomaterial.…”

Vertically Oriented Zinc Oxide Nanorod-Based Electrolyte-Gated Field-Effect Transistor for High-Performance Glucose Sensing

Nanomaterial-based biosensors are a promising fit for portable and field-deployable diagnosis sensor devices due to their mass production, miniaturization, and integration capabilities. However, the fabrication of highly stable and reproducible biosensor devices is challenging. In this work, we grow a vertically oriented architecture of zinc oxide nanorods onto the active working area (i.e., the channel between the source and drain) of a field-effect transistor (FET) using a low-temperature hydrothermal method. The glucose oxidase enzyme was immobilized on the zinc oxide nanorod surface by a physical adsorption method to fabricate the electrolyte-gated FET-based glucose biosensor. The electrical properties of the electrolyte-gated FET biosensor were measured with different glucose concentrations. We found a linear increase in current up to 80 mM glucose concentration with high sensitivity (74.78 μA/mMcm2) and a low detection limit (∼0.05 mM). We illustrate a highly reproducible fabrication process of zinc oxide nanorod-based FETs, where vertically grown nanorods with a higher surface-to-volume ratio enhance the enzyme immobilization, provide a microenvironment for longer enzyme activity, and translate to better glucose sensing parameters. Additionally, our electrolyte-gated FET biosensor showed promising application in freshly drawn mouse blood samples. These findings suggest a great opportunity to translate into practical high-performance biosensors for a broad range of analytes.
