TiO2 modified Co3O4 acicular nanotube arrays (ANTAs) have been fabricated in this study, showing a good performance in glucose detection. In the experiment, the precursor Co(CO3)0.5(OH)·0.11H2O acicular nanowire arrays (ANWAs) was first grown on the fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate by a hydrothermal method. Thereafter, the uniform pink precursor Co(CO3)0.5(OH)·0.11H2O ANWAs was completely converted to the black Co3O4 ANTAs thin film by alkaline treatment. After the decoration of TiO2, the TiO2/Co3O4 ANTAs electrode exhibits a much higher current response to glucose compared with the Co3O4 ANTAs. Importantly, this neotype composite structure of Co3O4 enhances the glucose sensing performance by increasing specific surface area, additional reactive sites and synergistic effect, which make the TiO2/Co3O4 glucose sensor show a high sensitivity of 2008.82 μA mM(-1) cm(-2), a fast response time (less than 5s) and a detection limit as low as 0.3396 μM (S/N=3). The TiO2/Co3O4 ANTAs modified electrode exhibits a high selectivity for glucose in human serum, against ascorbic acid and uric acid.

The configuration of electrode materials is of great significance to the performance of supercapacitors (SCs) because of its direct effects on specific surface area and electron transfer path. Given this, herein, a series of CoO hierarchical configurations composed of porous acicular nanorods are designedly synthesized on Ni foam with in-site self-organization method depending on the addition of NHF. In the absence of NHF, CoO nanorods self-assemble into porous urchin-like structure (PULS), while the introduction of NHF can induce the vertical growth of CoO acicular nanorods, forming porous acicular nanorod arrays (PANRAs).

We have successfully fabricated flexible asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) based on acicular Co9S8 nanorod arrays as positive materials and Co3O4@RuO2 nanosheet arrays as negative materials on woven carbon fabrics. Co9S8 nanorod arrays were synthesized by a hydrothermal sulfuration treatment of acicular Co3O4 nanorod arrays, while the RuO2 was directly deposited on the Co3O4 nanorod arrays. Carbon cloth was selected as both the substrate and the current collector for its good conductivity, high flexibility, good physical strength, and lightweight architecture.

One-dimensional cobalt sulfide (CoS) acicular nanorod arrays (ANRAs) were obtained on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate by a two-step approach. First, Co(3)O(4) ANRAs were synthesized, and then they were converted to CoS ANRAs for various periods. The compositions of the films obtained after various conversion periods were verified by X-ray diffraction, UV-visible spectrophotometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; their morphologies were examined at different periods by scanning electron microscopic and transmission electron microscopic images.
