A bifunctional tubular step-scheme CoS/CdS heterostructure was successfully synthesized for efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) detection coupled with the degradation of tetracycline (TC). It was found that so-obtained heterostructure could effectively suppress the recombination of photo-generated carriers and display larger PEC responses owing to the internal electrostatic field. Upon adding TC, the photocurrent signal of CoS/CdS heterostructure was specifically activated due to the direct consumption of holes in CdS component by TC, resulting in significantly enhanced charge separation. Crucially, the photo-induced holes in CdS and produced OH radicals can realize catalytic degradation of TC during its detection and the possible intermediates and degradation pathways were speculated. A dual-functional PEC sensing platform has thereby been developed for detection and degradation of TC with ultra-low detection limit and high degradation efficiency. Additionally, the developed sensor displayed excellent selectivity and high stability, demonstrating its potential for TC detection and degradation in tap-water and milk samples.

Partial cation exchange reactions provide a synthetic pathway for rationally constructing heterostructured nanoparticles that incorporate different materials at precise locations. Multiple sequential partial cation exchange reactions can produce libraries of exceptionally complex heterostructured nanoparticles, but the first partial exchange reaction is responsible for defining the intraparticle frameworks that persist throughout and help to direct subsequent exchanges. Here, we studied the partial cation exchange behavior of spherical nanoparticles of roxbyite copper sulfide, CuS, with substoichiometric amounts of Zn.

In this study, a porous hollow CdCoS(2) microsphere was synthesized based on the ZIF-67-S MOFs derived method of sulfurization reaction and calcination process. Under visible light irradiation, the resulting CdCoS(2) composite showed a markedly enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) response. The photocurrent value of the CdCoS(2) modified ITO electrode was 93-fold and 41-fold than that of CoS and CdS materials, respectively.

The combination of two-dimensional (2D) materials with non-2D materials (quantum dots, nanowires and bulk materials), i.e. mixed-dimensional van der Waals (md-vdW) heterostructures endow 2D materials with remarkable electronics properties.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFNanoparticles that contain multiple materials connected through interfaces, often called heterostructured nanoparticles, are important constructs for many current and emerging applications. Such particles combine semiconductors, metals, insulators, catalysts, magnets, and other functional components that interact synergistically to enable applications in areas that include energy, nanomedicine, nanophotonics, photocatalysis, and active matter. To synthesize heterostructured nanoparticles, it is important to control all of the property-defining features of individual nanoparticles-size, shape, uniformity, crystal structure, composition, surface chemistry, and dispersibility-in addition to interfaces, asymmetry, and spatial organization, which facilitate communication among the constituent materials and enable their synergistic functions.

In order to further enhance the performance of photocatalysts, cocatalysts are used to accelerate the photocatalytic reactions. Herein, ultrafine cobalt oxide (CoO) nanoparticles are synthesized through a novel bottom-up strategy and explored as an efficient non-noble cocatalyst to dramatically promote the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of CdS nanorods. CdS/CoO heterostructures, consisting of highly dispersed 3-5 nm CoO nanoparticles anchored on the CdS nanorods, can provide a high photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 6.
