Ag(2)O nanowalls consisting of densely packed nanoplates based on a Cu substrate were synthesized through a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. A new enzymeless glucose sensor of Cu-Ag(2)O nanowalls was fabricated. The Cu-Ag(2)O nanowalls showed higher catalysis on glucose oxidation than traditional Ag(2)O nanoflowers and Cu-Ag(2)O nanospindles. At an applied potential of 0.4 V, the sensor produced an ultrahigh sensitivity to glucose (GO) of 298.2 microA mM(-1). Linear response was obtained over a concentration range from 0.2 mM to 3.2 mM with a detection limit of 0.01 mM (S/N = 3). Satisfyingly, the Cu-Ag(2)O nanowalls modified electrode was not only successfully employed to eliminate the interferences from uric acid (UA) acid ascorbic (AA) and also fructose (FO) during the catalytic oxidation of glucose. The Cu-Ag(2)O nanowalls modified electrode allows highly sensitive, excellently selective, stable, and fast amperometric sensing of glucose and thus is promising for the future development of nonenzymatic glucose sensors.

Lightweight cellular materials with high stiffness and excellent recoverability are critically important in structural engineering applications, but the intrinsic conflict between these two properties presents a significant challenge. Here, a topological cellular hierarchy is presented, designed to fabricate ultra-stiff (>10 MPa modulus) yet super-elastic (>90% recoverable strain) graphene aerogels. This topological cellular hierarchy, composed of massive corrugated pores and nanowalls, is designed to carry high loads through predominantly reversible buckling within the honeycomb framework.

Composition-adjustable semiconductor nanomaterials have garnered significant attention due to their controllable bandgaps and electronic structures, providing alternative opportunities to regulate photoelectric properties and develop the corresponding multifunction optoelectronic devices. Nevertheless, the large-scale integration of semiconductor nanomaterials into practical devices remains challenging. Here, we report a synthesis strategy for the well-aligned horizontal CdSSe ( = 0-1) nanowall arrays, which are guided grown on an annealed M-plane sapphire using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) approaches.

Article Synopsis
  • The multisensor concept provides a fast and reliable way to assess gases and odors by mimicking biological detection systems through pattern recognition.
  • The study details the development of a sensor array using metal oxide nanostructures, specifically growing various oxides (Co, Ni, Mn, and Zn) on a chip to create chemiresistive films.
  • Results indicate that these nanostructures, particularly ZnO, enhance the sensor's performance, allowing detection of alcohol vapors at very low concentrations due to their high-sensitivity signals.

Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was used to obtain several graphite nanowall (GNW)-type films at different deposition times on silicon and copper to achieve various thicknesses of carbonic films for the development of electrochemical sensors for the detection of anthracene. The PECVD growth time varied from 15 min to 30 min to 45 min, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the changes in the thickness of the GNW films, revealing a continuous increase in the series. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the crystallinity of the GNW film samples increased with increasing crystallite size and decreasing dislocation density as the deposition time increased.

In recent years, flexible pressure sensors have been seen widespread adoption in various fields such as electronic skin, smart wearables, and human-computer interaction systems. Owing to the electrical conductivity and adaptability to flexible substrates, vertical graphene nanowalls (VGNs) have recently been recognized as promising materials for pressure-sensing applications. Our study presented the synthesis of high-quality VGNs via plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and the incorporation of a metal layer by electron beam evaporation, forming a stacked structure of VGNs/Metal/VGNs.
