A carbon nanotube reinforced polypyrrole nanowire network was constructed by in situ polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of carbon nanotubes using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles as a soft template. Carbon nanotubes as a reinforcer were embedded into a network of polypyrrole nanowires, thus retaining in the latter a complete network. The resulting network possessed a specific surface area of 112.1 m2 g−1 and a rough porous structure. The embedding of carbon nanotubes decreased the charge transfer resistance in the polypyrrole nanowires and allowed easy access and rapid diffusion of ions/electrons. When applied as a capacitive electrode, a specific capacitance of 183.2 F g−1 was observed at a current density of 8 A g−1. The specific capacitance retention was 85% after 1000 cycles at 1 A g−1. An asymmetric supercapacitor was fabricated using the network as a positive electrode and active carbon as a negative electrode, and when operated at a maximum voltage of 1.5 V, had a high energy density (15.1 W h kg−1 at 3000 W kg−1). A long-term cycling test of the asymmetric supercapacitor at a current density of 1 A g−1 displayed a capacitance retention of 72% even after 3000 cycles of charge and discharge.

In this work, novel branched palladium–gold (PdAu) bimetallic nanowires supported on graphene (PdAu/graphene) were fabricated at relatively low temperatures for the first time by a one-pot co-reduction method with the aid of poly(diallyldimethyl-ammonium chloride). The structural characteristics of PdAu/graphene were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and element mapping observations. The electrochemical properties of the PdAu/graphene were characterised by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry (CA) in the formic acid oxidation reaction. Compared with a commercial Pd/C catalyst, the PdAu/graphene catalyst prepared in this work exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity including a higher oxidation current density, enhanced CO tolerance, and a more negative onset potential. Moreover, CA analyses demonstrated that PdAu/graphene shows higher stability than the Pd/C catalyst. The PdAu/graphene catalyst exhibited higher activity and strong poisoning resistance, which could be attributed to its special branched structure from PdAu nanowires.

A novel amine-based functionalization method was developed to improve the interfacial adhesion between TiO 2 NWs and CFs in supercritical water. The microstructure, morphology and mechanical properties of CFs were investigated. It was found that introducing hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) dendrimers and branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) on CF could increase significantly the adhesion strength between CF and TiO 2 NWs and their interfacial shear strength with epoxy resin, and the order is CF-PEI-TiO 2 NWs > CF-HMTA-TiO 2 NWs > CF-COOH-TiO 2 NWs > CF-TiO 2 NW. Meanwhile, the reinforcing mechanisms and interfacial failure modes have also been discussed. We believe that these effective methods may provide theoretical foundation for the preparation of high performance composite materials.

This work demonstrates a highly efficient method for large-scale synthesis of elongated BaTiO 3 nanowires via a novel stirring hydrothermal process. Compared with conventional hydrothermal reaction , one-dimensional (1D) lead-free BaTiO 3 nanowires can be realized at an even lower temperature with a shorter dwelling time. Results suggest that the mechanical force-driven stirring process improved the diffusion and surface reaction rate of BaTiO 3 nanocrystal growth in the solution phase, apparently, leading to the growth of the BaTiO 3 nanowires via an oriented attachment mechanism. Meanwhile, to the best of our knowledge, this method is also the first reported protocol which is capable to grow elongated BaTiO 3 nanowires with length up to tens of micrometers. This research outcome provides a promising option for low cost, high-throughput fabrication of 1D nanostructure in respect of mass-manufacturing.

The narrow indirect bandgap of Si hinders the full absorption and utilization of the solar light. Energy band engineering to the Si based photovoltaic devices is essential to address this problem. Here we report the fabrication of ZnSe nanoribbon (ZnSeNR)/Si nanowire (SiNW) p–n heterojunction arrays by directly growing or simply drop-casting the p-type ZnSeNRs on highly aligned n-type SiNW arrays. Phosphorus (P) was used as dopant to achieve robust p-type doping in the ZnSe nanostructures with a hole concentration as high as 6.5 × 1018 cm−3. Thanks to the matched bandgap and the light trapping arising from the one-dimensional (1D) array structure, the heterojunction arrays exhibited improved light absorption, particularly in the blue/UV wavelength range. Moreover, by taking advantage of the ohmic contact between graphene and p-ZnSeNR, heterojunction array solar cells with graphene transparent electrode were fabricated, giving rise to a power conversion efficiency of ∼0.78% under AM 1.5G illumination. It was found that the surface passivation to the SiNW array played an important role in determining the device performance; an efficiency up to 2.27% was obtained after surface modification with methyl groups. Our results demonstrate the heterojunction arrays, together with the graphene transparent electrodes, could be promising candidates for high-performance and low-cost photovoltaic applications.

The silicon material is the most promising candidate for developing new-generation lithium-ion batteries with high energy and power output. However, there remains a significant challenge due to poor electrical conductivity and pulverization of the silicon based anode during cycles. Aiming to solve these problems, in this work we fabricate a novel 3D composite architecture made of a Si@SiOx core–shell nanowire array grown on a 3D graphitic foam (Si CNW–3D GF) substrate by a well-designed multiple-step approach. The prepared Si CNW–3D GF composite shows the integrated advantages for high-performance lithium ion batteries, including its light weight, open macroporosity, high conductivity, high Si NW loading, excellent flexibility as well as SiOx buffer layers. As a result, the Si CNW–3D GF composite exhibits excellent performance such as high reversible lithium storage capacity (3603 mA h g−1 at a current density of 840 mA g−1), excellent cycling performance (up to 100 cycles) and superior rate capability (2299 mA h g−1 at 4200 mA g−1 and 1206 mA h g−1 at 8400 mA g−1), which is 2 times that of the Si CNW electrode where Si CNWs were grown directly on a stainless steel current collector without the presence of 3D GF.

The surface-fluorinated Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 nanowires/reduced graphene oxide composite is synthesized through a hydrothermal procedure. Lithium ion transport is promoted by forming a special morphology of lithium titanate nanowires, meanwhile, electronic transmission is facilitated by surface fluorination and conductive network of graphene coating. These three kinds of synergistic effects greatly improve the rate performance of lithium titanate . The surface-fluorinated Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 nanowires/reduced graphene oxide composite exhibits high specific capacities (167.5 mAh g −1 at 1 C and even 132.6 mAh g −1 at 10 C) and good cyclic stability (95% capacity remain after 300 cycles at 5 C). The influences of surface fluorination and graphene coating on electrochemical performance of lithium titanate are investigated in detail in terms of reversible capacity, cyclability and rate capability. Its excellent electrochemical properties make it become possible to be a potential anode material for high-rate lithium-ion batteries applied in high power facilities.

Wearable devices have become very important for collecting health information and monitoring the condition of seriously ill patients. However, most recently developed wearable devices can only monitor limited signals within a very small range of values. A novel sensor is fabricated by modifying the surface of polyimide nanowires with silver nanoparticles. These nanowire sensors can sense both pressure and temperature changes and have antimicrobial properties. The fabricated sensor can detect a wide range of pressure variation from 5 KPa to 100 KPa. A theoretical model is developed to explain the sensing mechanism of the silver-nanoparticle-modified polyimide nanowires. The experimental and theoretical results for the nanowires are in good agreement. By attaching these sensors to human joints and fingers, real-time information can be detected for human motion, such as walking or holding a hot cup of water. The excellent performance of this device shows that it has great potential for use in artificial skins for detecting temperature and human motion.

Nanowires (NWs)-based heterojunction photodetectors (PDs) have been widely applied in the fields of remote sensing, night vision, environmental monitoring, and optical communications with high light absorption coefficient and photoelectric conversion efficiency. Here, S-GaAs NWs/Si heterojunction was developed to form a broadband self-powered PDs by growing GaAs NWs on Si substrate through the sulfur-catalyzed assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology. Compared with the pure GaAs NWs, the sulfur-assisted catalysts could not only inhibit Ostwald ripening of Au seeds to improve the crystalline quality of NWs but also form a thin Ga–S bond passivation layer to reduce surface defects and enhance the optoelectronic performance of the PDs. The fabricated GaAs NWs/Si heterojunction PDs exhibit excellent performances with the large responsivity of 10.3 mA W −1 and high detectivity of 9.59 × 10 12 cm Hz 1/2 W −1 . Additionally, the designed PDs have the broadband wavelength photoresponse from visible to near infrared and fast response speed (rise/fall time of 3.8/21.8 ms). Importantly, the develop strategy of hybrid heterojunction PDs can be extended to other semiconductor materials for facilitating the practical application of high-performance optoelectronic devices .

Blend films with long nanowires of zinc octaethylporphyrin (ZnOEP) embedded in an insulating polymer of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) have been successfully fabricated by a one-step spin-coating process. Concerning photoactive blends based on small-molecule semiconductors, this is quite a novel strategy and allows us to greatly reduce the issues related to low device performance, such as phase-separation, poor connectivity of the semiconducting layer, and higher densities of interfacial defects. Intensive studies on the correlation between the film morphology and device performance have revealed that excellent photodetector performance is derived from efficient charge transport and good connectivity observed in highly crystalline, interconnected ZnOEP nanowires embedded in an insulating PMMA matrix. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a blend-film-based organic photodetector, which exhibits high sensitivity, high stability, high Ion/Ioff ratio, excellent mechanical flexibility, and a broadband responsivity region extending up to 1050 nm. The unique characteristics of facile fabrication, high sensitivity, excellent mechanical stability, and broadband responsivity can make the blend film of ZnOEP and PMMA promising in large-area flexible photodetectors.

This study introduces a facile method for the controlled growth of addressable planar arrays of highly luminescent, catalyst-free 1,4-bis(5-phenyloxazol-2-yl)benzene (POPOP) nanowires. By employing a hollow mask over a faceted sapphire substrate, simultaneous control over the position and orientation of the nanowires is achieved through a mask-confined graphoepitaxial growth, offering substantial advantages over traditional post-growth assembly techniques. High-temperature annealing creates parallel nanogrooves on the sapphire surface, inducing a graphoepitaxial effect that aligns the nanowires with a consistent [102] crystallographic axis. The hollow mask further aids in precisely localizing nanowire growth through its shadowing effect. Optoelectronic investigations reveal that these nanowires emit intense and stable blue photoluminescence at room temperature, with a broad spectrum spanning from 400 to 600 nm. This luminescence is achieved through excitation by continuous-wave ultraviolet light or two-photon absorption using femtosecond infrared light. Notably, the emission quantum efficiency of POPOP nanowires reaches 59 %, a remarkable improvement over the 12 % observed in powder counterparts when excited with 405 nm light. Transit absorption spectra indicate that ground state bleaching and excited state absorption display consistent kinetics within a 100 ps time window, suggesting the same origin from singlet excitons. The precise alignment and positioning of these nanowires make them viable for in-situ integration into photodetectors with rapid ultraviolet light responses. This study advances the controlled growth of catalyst-free nanowire arrays and enhances the understanding of the optoelectronic properties of POPOP nanowires.

Metal halide perovskites recently have emerged as a promising candidate for photodetection due to their exceptional photoelectric performance. However, the high dark current in these materials has hindered their practical application to imaging. In this study, a novel halogen-mixed CsPbIBr 2 microwire photodetector that has a remarkable reduction of dark current by over 100-fold (compared to CsPbBr 3 ), along with a substantial increase in photocurrent, which yields a significantly improved on/off ratio of 6.56 × 10 4 , is developed. More importantly, the halogen-mixed perovskite photodetector exhibits enhanced photodetection performance, including a high responsivity of 133 A W −1 and a remarkable specific detectivity of 4.02 × 10 12 Jones even under ultraweak light conditions as low as 4.5 nW cm −2 . More specifically, high-resolution images are successfully obtained under ultraweak light conditions. The combined analysis of experimental results and first-principles calculation attribute the excellent performance of the CsPbIBr₂ microwire photodetector to a significant reduction in dark current by suppressing ion migration and increasing carrier effective mass, and a remarkable increase in photocurrent resulting from reduced bandgap and enhanced light absorption, as compared to CsPbBr 3 . This research represents a significant advancement in the development of high-performance 1D perovskite-based photodetectors, with promising implications for ultra-weak light imaging applications.
