Photosensitive electrocatalysts based on Ni-WSnanohybrids for hydrogen evolution reaction.

Efficient hydrogen evolution by electrolysis plays an indispensable role for hydrogen fuel generation in green energy devices. In order to implement high-performance electrocatalytic activity, it is usually necessary to design economically viable, effective and stable electrocatalysts to reduce activation potential barriers. Herein, we report the photosensitive Ni-WSnanohybrids for enhanced electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

WSecrystals on paper: flexible, large area and broadband photodetectors.

The paper-based photodetector has recently captivated a great deal of attention in various opto-electronics applications because of facile, cost effective and green synthesis. Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides materials are promising for photodetection under the broad spectral range. In this work, we have fabricated paper-based device by rubbing the tungsten di-selenide (WSe) crystals on paper substrate.

Enhanced Antifungal Activity of WS/ZnO Nanohybrid against .

forms persistent infections through the formation of biofilms that confer resistance to existing antifungal drugs. Biofilm targeting is therefore a promising strategy to combat infections. The WS/ZnO nanohybrids exhibits considerably improved antibiofilm activity and inhibited the biofilm formation by 91%, which is quite better than that for pristine WS, which is only 74%.
