Pt-modified Au nanorods (NRs) synthesized by anisotropic overgrowth were used for producing H2 under visible and near-infrared light irradiation. The Pt-tipped sample exhibited much higher activity compared with fully covered samples. Using single-particle spectroscopies combined with transmission electron microscopy, we observed obvious quenching phenomena for photoluminescence and light scattering from individual Pt-tipped NRs. The analysis of energy relaxation of plasmon-generated hot electrons indicates the electron transfer from the excited Au to Pt.

While numerous needle-based continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices have been available today, the insufficient enzyme immobilization on monitoring sensor severely limited the detection sensitivity of CGM devices. This manuscript describes here a high-sensitivity continuous glucose sensor (CGS) by engineering a porous 3D cellulose/carbon nanotube (CNT) network on the working electrode, which subcutaneously increases the detection enzyme capacity and thus significantly enhances the signal intensity and sensitivity. Furthermore, a tapered needle made of soft resin is engraved into three distinct microgrooves where the glucose oxidase (GOD)-modified working electrode, Pt-modified counter electrode, and Ag/AgCl-modified reference electrode are separately constructed inside the microgrooves.

Catalysts for the electrolysis of water are critical in the production of hydrogen for the energy industry. The use of strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) to modulate the dispersion, electron distribution, and geometry of active metals is an effective strategy for improving catalytic performance. However, in currently used catalysts, the supporting effect does not significantly contribute directly to catalytic activity.

The specific monitoring of serotonin (ST) has provoked massive interest in therapeutic and biological science since it has been recognized as the third most significant endogenous gastrointestinal neurotransmitter. Hence, there is a great need to develop a sensitive and low-cost sensing platform for the detection of a clinically relevant ST level in biological matrices. Herein, we develop a simple two-step approach for an ultrasensitive electrochemical (EC) sensor with the CuO metal oxide (MO)-incorporated CNT core that has been further deposited with a transitional amount of platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs).

Understanding the underlying kinetic mechanism of plasmon-enhanced catalysis is important for designing optimized bimetal nanostructures. Here, we characterize product formation rate at both the single-particle and ensemble level. The single-particle measurement allows us to reveal the underlying catalytic kinetic mechanisms of a bimetal nanostructure.

Photocatalytic hydrogen generation will benefit from the realization of more active but less expensive cocatalysts compared with noble metal counterparts. Herein we developed a universal vapor deposition method that selectively uses the thermal decomposition products of sodium hypophosphite as a phosphorus source for the fabrication of inexpensive and highly efficient metal phosphate (MPi) modified CdS nanorods. We find that the modification with a bimetal phosphate (i.
