Highly sensitive in situ-synthesized cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanowires (NWs) for the detection of chemiluminescence in immunoassays with a photoresist (PR) layer to stabilize the CdS NWs before and after coating with a parylene film were developed. The thickness of the PR layer was controlled by adjusting the viscosity of the PR solution used for spin-coating. PR2005 was the optimal PR for passivation of the NW surface. After the addition of a parylene coating on the CdS NWs, the photocurrent increased by as much as 50% over a broad range of light intensities, and the additional PR layer increased the photoresponse over the whole range of light intensities. When the photoresponses of the CdS NWs with and without the parylene film were compared after the addition of a PR layer, significant differences were observed in the photocurrent behavior after the incident light was turned off. For the CdS NWs with a parylene film and PR layer, the photocurrent reached the baseline within milliseconds of the incident light being turned off. However, the CdS NWs without a parylene film but with a PR layer required >60 s to reach the baseline level. This difference was due to the capacitance arising from the contact between the NWs. The in situ-synthesized CdS NW photosensor passivated by the parylene film and a PR layer was used in a chemiluminescence-based immunoassay. Finally, the detection of human immunodeficiency virus antibodies was demonstrated via a chemiluminescent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on the CdS NW photosensor in comparison with the optical-density measurement for the chromogenic reaction of TMB(3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine).

Benefiting from their excellent light-capturing ability, suitable energy band structure and abundant active sites, transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) have been attracting widespread attention in heterogeneous photocatalysis. Nonetheless, TMCs still suffer from sluggish charge transfer kinetics, a rapid charge recombination rate and poor stability, rendering the construction of high-performance artificial photosystems challenging. Here, a ternary dumbbell-shaped CdS/MoS/CuS heterostructure with spatially separated catalytically active sites has been elaborately designed.

Photocatalytic H production with selective oxidation of organic moieties in an aqueous medium is a fascinating research area. However, the rational design of photocatalysts and their photocatalytic performance are still inadequate. In this work, we efficiently synthesized the MoS tipped CdS nanowires (NWs) photocatalyst using soft templates via the two-step hydrothermal method for efficient H production with selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BO) under visible light illumination.

As an idealized light source, semiconductor nanowire (NW) lasers have been extensively studied due to its potential applications in many fields such as optoelectronics, nanophononics, optical communication, signal processing, and displays. In this letter, we proposed a novel approach to realize a single-mode nanolaser by forming an Fabry-Perot whispering gallery mode (FP-WGM) hybrid nanocavity between two cross-contact CdS NWs, i.e.

Through a facile two-step synthetic procedure, three metal-free organic dyes having D-π-A kind of structure, belonging to chalcone family have been designed, produced and anchored on one dimensional cadmium sulfide nanowires (1D CdS NWs) to serve as a light energy harvester through dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) assembly. In order to anchor dye on CdS NWs nano-network, solution chemistry has been used in an easy and effective manner. The sensitizing capability of synthesized materials has been evaluated using optical and electrochemical studies, density functional theory (DFT) simulations, and photovoltaic performances.

The effective harnessing of hydrogen energy relies on the development of bifunctional electrocatalysts that facilitate hydrogen evolution/oxidation reactions (HER/HOR) with high catalytic activity. The design of such electrocatalysts requires the consideration of not only the volcano relationship with hydrogen binding energy (HBE) or hydrogen adsorption Gibbs free energy (ΔG) but also the regulation of catalytic kinetics such as interfacial proton/electron transfer. In this work, unique one-dimensional iridium nanowires with compressive stress are successfully prepared and combined with carbon dots (Ir NWs/CDs).
