Photodetectors in a configuration of field effect transistor were fabricated based on individual W18O49 nanowires. Evaluation of electrical transport behavior indicates that the W18O49 nanowires are n-type semiconductors. The photodetectors show high sensitivity, stability and reversibility to ultraviolet (UV) light. A high photoconductive gain of 104 was obtained, and the photoconductivity is up to 60 nS upon exposure to 312 nm UV light with an intensity of 1.6 mW/cm2. Absorption of oxygen on the surface of W18O49 nanowires has a significant influence on the dark conductivity, and the ambient gas can remarkably change the conductivity of W18O49 nanowire. The results imply that W18O49 nanowires will be promising candidates for fabricating UV photodetectors.

In this experiment, we studied a technique that permits the continuous fabrication of electrochromic alginate fibers because there hasn't been much research on electrochromic alginate fibers. Therefore, it's important to investigate ways to increase the application areas of alginate fibers. AgNP‑calcium alginate fibers with high electrical conductivity were prepared by Ag substitution method.

Article Synopsis
- * A novel single-atom-layer (SAL) metallization strategy is proposed to enhance the generation and transfer of hot electrons from plasmonic semiconductors to CO, using a WO@W-Sn nanowire array (NWA) as a model.
- * The addition of Sn single atoms improves IR light absorption, increases CO adsorption, and lowers energy barriers for the reaction, resulting in over 98% selectivity for IR-driven CO reduction to CH, significantly

Tungsten disulfide nanotubes (WS-NTs), with their cylindrical structure composed of rolled WS sheets, have attracted much interest because of their unique physical properties reflecting quasi-one-dimensional chiral structures. They exhibit a semiconducting electronic structure regardless of their chirality, and various semiconducting and optoelectronic device applications have been demonstrated. The development of techniques to fabricate arrayed WS-NTs is crucial to realizing the highest device performance.
