In-situ construction of direct Z-scheme NiO/BiMoO heterostructure arrays with enhanced room temperature ether sensing properties under visible light irradiation.

Light irradiation has emerged as a promising strategy to promote room temperature sensing of resistive-type semiconductor gas sensors recently. However, high recombination rate of photo-generated carriers and poor visible light response of conventional semiconductor sensing materials have greatly limited the further performance improvement. It is urgent to develop gas sensing materials with high photo-generated carrier separation efficiency and excellent visible light response.

Synergistically Coupling of Manganese-Doped CoP Nanowires Arrays with Highly Dispersed Ni(PO) Nanoclusters toward Efficient Overall Water Splitting.

Co-based phosphides are considered to be highly promising electrocatalysts for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, their electrocatalytic efficiencies are greatly limited by the weak water dissociation process and unsatisfactory adsorption ability toward reaction intermediates. Herein, novel Mn-doped CoP/Ni(PO) heterostructure array electrocatalysts which are composed of highly dispersed Ni(PO) nanoclusters that are tightly wrapped on Mn-doped CoP nanowire arrays are designed.
