Summary: ZnO/alpha-Fe2O3 nanocomposites with ultra-sensitive response to acetone were successfully prepared by hydrothermal and solvothermal methods. The synthesized materials were characterized by SEM, TEM, XPS and other means, and the results indicated that a good heterojunction was constructed between alpha-Fe2O3 nanorods and ZnO nanosheet particles. Gas sensing tests showed that the ZnO/alpha-Fe2O3(S-2) sensor exhibited superior performance, with high response (Ra/Rg = 62.8), fast response and recovery time (4 s and 10 s) to 100 ppm acetone at 220 degrees C. The n-n heterojunction effect and structural characteristics were identified as the main reasons for the performance improvement. The nanocomposites have promising prospects in the field of acetone detection.

Summary: Defect and facet engineering are two effective approaches to tune the surface reactivity of metal-oxide-based sensing materials. In this study, WO3 nanosheets with exposed (002) crystal facet and oxygen vacancies defective [D-WO3-(002)] were obtained through a simple hydrothermal-hydrogenation process. The D-WO3-(002)-based acetone sensor exhibited excellent gas sensitive performance, including low limit of detection (0.5 ppm), wide range of response (0.5-100 ppm, S = 2.8 & SIM; 45.6), high selectivity, fast response-recovery, and excellent repeatability. The outstanding gas-sensing performance is attributed to the synergistic effects of the dominant (002) facet and the defect of oxygen vacancy structure, which effectively improved the surface reactivity of monoclinic WO3 nanosheets. This work demonstrates tremendous potential application prospect for environmental monitoring of acetone and non-invasive diagnosis of diabetes.

Summary: In this study, mesoporous PtO-WO3 nanofibers were constructed using a facile one-step electrospinning technique for highly sensitive and selective acetone sensing. The effective immobilization of well-dispersed PtO nanocatalysts within the mesoporous WO3 NFs allowed for efficient catalysis and gas diffusion, enhancing the interaction between active O2- and acetone molecules. The PtO-WO3 NFs exhibited significantly improved acetone sensing properties compared to pure WO3 NFs, with a 6.5-fold higher response to 100 ppm acetone at 260 degrees C. The mesoporous WO3 NFs with uniformly distributed PtO nanocatalysts showed great potential for detecting acetone.

Summary: Micro-LEDs, as a new display technology, have advantages such as low power consumption, high brightness, high resolution, and fast response time, but their efficiency is reduced by strong surface non-radiative recombination. In this study, an ion implantation method was used to improve the luminous efficiency of GaN-based Micro-LEDs by inhibiting carrier surface non-radiative recombination, resulting in a 7-fold increase in photoluminescence intensity and a 33% increase in external quantum efficiency of the packaged Micro-LEDs chip. This research provides a new direction for improving the photoelectric performance of Micro-LEDs.

Summary: This study presents the development of high-performance HCHO resonant cantilever sensors using MoS2 nanosheets with 1T and 2H phases as sensitive materials. The 2H-MoS2 gas sensor exhibits better sensitivity towards HCHO compared to the 1T-MoS2 gas sensor, showing high selectivity, low limit of detection, and good humidity resistance. The sensing ability of 2H-MoS2 can be attributed to the abundant active sites induced by surface defects, suitable adsorption strength, and outstanding thermodynamic performance.

Summary: A novel xylene sensitive material (SnO2@MoS2) was constructed, which demonstrated low operating temperature, fast response speed, sufficient detection limit, and satisfactory selectivity for safety protection. The SnO2@MoS2 sensor showed a much higher response to 23.5-100 ppm xylene vapor compared to single-component sensors, with response/recovery times of 21.5/60.4 s and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.5 ppm. The excellent sensitivity was attributed to the unique resistance characteristics of the hierarchical structure, regulation of electronic properties by heterojunctions, and the increase of adsorption sites due to large specific surface areas and surface defects. This work provides a novel strategy for the construction of MoS2-based core-shell hierarchical nanomaterials and the future development of high-efficiency xylene sensors.
