Summary: An octahedral CoO@CoS composite structure was successfully designed and prepared, which exhibited a significant improvement in photocatalytic performance for degradation of tetracycline compared to nude CoO. The improved performance is mainly attributed to the incorporation of CoS nanoparticles, which enhance the photo-absorption ability of octahedral CoO and facilitate the transfer and separation of charge carriers.

Summary: The sensing of bio-molecules and toxic compounds has been a long-term interest. However, the similar reduction potential values and diverse chemical nature of these analytes make the simultaneous and accurate determination challenging. In this study, a transition metal oxide/graphitic-carbon nitride composite was successfully fabricated, which exhibited suitable band-gap formation and facilitated the reduction of dopamine and hydrazine at different potentials. The characterization of the composite material was conducted by SEM-EDX, XRD, FTIR, and electro-chemical analysis. The sensor response analysis revealed that the as-prepared material showed superior LOD for hydrazine compared to dopamine.

Summary: WO3-TiO2 composite films with heterostructures were fabricated by electron beam evaporation. The influence of heterostructures and annealing treatments on the morphology, composition, and optical properties of the films was investigated. By adjusting the thickness of the TiO2 buffer layer and thermal treatment, the absorption peak of the composite films can be tuned to match the excitation wavelength. The as-treated film exhibited 2.7 times higher detection intensity of Methylene blue dye compared to the single-layer film due to the synergistic effect of oxygen vacancy and heterostructures. Additionally, the simulation results using finite-difference time-domain method agreed well with the experimental results.

Summary: Ultra-violet photodetectors based on ZnMn2O4 spinel were fabricated on silicon substrates using the sol-gel spin coating technique. The addition of 5% Zn to Mn2O3 resulted in the formation of a composite with two mixed phases, Mn2O3 and ZnMn2O4, which ultimately transformed into a pure ZnMn2O4 spinel phase at higher Zn concentrations. The fabricated devices exhibited significantly large photoresponses when illuminated with UV light, with increasing Zn concentration leading to improved device parameters and ultralow response and recovery times.

Summary: The dielectric properties of in-situ polymerized polyaniline-multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PANI/MWCNTs) nanocomposite sample were analyzed as a function of temperature and applied frequency. The introduction of MWCNTs into the PANI matrix during polymerization and the reduction via chemical treatment with ammonia resulted in a lower conducting dielectric state. XRD pattern showed the semi-crystalline nature of the prepared sample. The dielectric constant increased with temperature and decreased with applied frequency, and the enhanced dielectric properties were attributed to the mobility of electric dipoles and reduced dc electrical conductivity due to the reduction of PANI/MWCNTs nanocomposite.

Summary: In this study, a defective system of V-doped Fe2O3 with Pt as a cocatalyst was used for photoelectrochemical water oxidation. The defects in the VFPt-2.5 photoanode were characterized by XPS and EPR analyses. The SEM and TEM analyses revealed that the electrodeposited V-doped alpha-Fe2O3 had a nanosized morphology with an average diameter of 12 nm and a thickness of 300 nm. Under light irradiation, the VFPt-2.5 photoanode achieved a remarkable onset potential and photocurrent density. The stability test showed that Pt helped overcome the charge recombination caused by surface states.
