In this study, UV photodetectors (PDs) based on SiC nanowire films have been successfully prepared by a simple and low-cost drip-coating method followed by sintering at 500 °C. The corresponding electrical characterizations clearly demonstrate that the SiC nanowire based PD devices can be regarded as a promising candidate for UV PDs. The PDs can exhibit the excellent performances of fast, high sensitivity, linearity, and stable response, which can thus achieve on-line monitoring of weak UV light. Furthermore, the SiC nanowire-based PDs enable us to fabricate detectors working under high temperature as high as 150 °C. The high photosensitivity and rapid photoresponse for the PDs can be attributed to the superior single crystalline quality of SiC nanowires and the ohmic contact between the electrodes and nanowires.

In the realm of photodetector (PD) technology, photoelectrochemical (PEC) PDs have garnered attention owing to their inherent advantages. Advances in this field depend on functional nanostructured materials, which are pivotal in improving the separation and transport of photogenerated electron-hole pairs to improve device efficiency. Herein, a highly photosensitive PEC UV PD is built using integrated self-supporting SiC/ZnS heterojunction nanowire array photoelectrodes through anodization and chemical deposition.

An acute wound is the most common type of skin injury. Developing wound dressings with excellent mechanical properties, wound protection, comfort, angiogenic capacity and therapeutic effects is significant for effective treatments, yet remains challenging. Herein, we have designed a novel HAP-Alg composite dressing comprising a complementary ultralong hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanowire bio-paper and calcium alginate hydrogel.

SiC structures, including nanowires and films, can be effectively grown on Si substrates through carbonization. However, growth parameters other than temperature, which influence the preferential formation of SiC nanowires or films, have not yet been identified. In this work, we investigate SiC synthesis via Si carbonization using methane (CH) by varying the growth temperature and the hydrogen to methane gas flow ratio (H/CH).

Intracellular pH (pHi) is an essential indicator of cellular metabolic activity, as its transient or small shift can significantly impact cellular homeostasis and reflect the cellular events. Real-time and precise tracking of these rapid pH changes within a single living cell is therefore important. However, achieving high dynamic response performance (subsecond) pH detection inside a living cell with high accuracy remains a challenge.

With vigorous developments in nanotechnology, the elaborate regulation of microstructure shows attractive potential in the design of electromagnetic wave absorbers. Herein, a hierarchical porous structure and composite heterogeneous interface are constructed successfully to optimize the electromagnetic loss capacity. The macro-micro-synergistic graphene aerogel formed by the ice template‑assisted 3D printing strategy is cut by silicon carbide nanowires (SiC) grown in situ, while boron nitride (BN) interfacial structure is introduced on graphene nanoplates.
