The research and develpoment of biomass waste derived carbon materials have attracted tremendous research interests in fabrication of high performance electrochemical sensors. In this work, noble metal NPs (i.e., Pd, Au and Ag) loading on Loofah sponge-derived well-ordered macroporous carbon (OMC)/ N -doped carbon thin layer (N-C) was designed by a general approach. This polydopamine (PDA)-based method has the advantages of simplicity, high efficiency and versatility. In virtue of the synergistic contribution from 3D macroporous carbon scaffold and highly active nobel metal NPs, these as-prepared Pd@OMC/N-C, Au@OMC/N-C and Ag@OMC/N-C electrode exhibit excellent electrochemical sensing performances for H 2 O 2 reduction, glucose oxidation and nitrite oxidation, respectively. Thus, 3D OMC/N-C loaded noble metal nanoparticles are promising materials for a wide spectrum of electrochemical sensor and biosensor applications.

As an emerging two-dimensional material, tin disulfide (SnS2) has attracted growing interest due to its superior performance in high-speed and high-sensitive photodetectors. However, low responsivity, large dark current, and slow response speed severely hinder its further practical application. Herein, the enhanced photodetection performance of Schottky photodetectors based on SnS2 nanosheets and Schottky contact effects on the photodetection performance were investigated. High-quality SnS2 nanosheets were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. Then Schottky photodetectors with Pt/SnS2/Al and Au/SnS2/Al structures were fabricated and detected. Compared to the Ohmic Al/SnS2/Al photodetector, the Schottky Pt/SnS2/Al and Au/SnS2/Al photodetectors exhibited better photodetection performances, including tenfold higher responsivities, tenfold lower dark currents, and slightly shorter response times. In particular, the Schottky Pt/SnS2/Al photodetector obtained a low dark current of 5.2 nA, a high responsivity of 952 μA W−1, and a response time of 0.13 s. The enhancement in the photodetection performance of the Schottky photodetectors is due to the reverse bias and built-in electric field caused by Schottky contacts. Our finding provides an effective approach to enhance the photodetection performance of SnS2-based photodetectors for high-performance optoelectronic applications.

Aiming at comparing the charge separation efficiencies of various heterojunctions, such as p-n junction, metal–semiconductor junction, Z-scheme junction, TiO 2 -Au, TiO 2 -BiOI, TiO 2 -BiOI-Au and TiO 2 -Au-BiOI were synthesized by using n-type TiO 2 , p-type BiOI and plasmon metal Au as components for photocatalytic nitrogen fixation. The as-prepared “Z-scheme” TiO 2 -Au-BiOI photocatalyst showed the highest photocatalytic performance for N 2 photofixation with 543.53 μmol L −1 h −1 g −1 in the pure water system, which is 1.68 times higher than that of TiO 2 -BiOI-Au nanocomposite, 1.85 times higher than that of TiO 2 -BiOI and 6.69 times higher than that of TiO 2 -Au, revealing superiority of the heterojunctions of TiO 2 -Au-BiOI in kinetics among these different heterostructured photocatalysts during the photocatalytic N 2 reduction process. Moreover, the as-prepared TiO 2 -Au-BiOI exhibited considerable performance under real natural environment, showing a promising potential in future application.

Improvements in the light-harvesting capacity and the carrier extraction are both significant to improve the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). It has been proved that local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) based on metallic nanostructures is practical for capturing light to enhance light harvesting. Motivated by this, a special shaped Au nanoparticle, e.g., nanooctahedrons (Au NOs), with a broadband LSPR peak and a suitable size is controlled synthesized and applied in a PSCs device. The power conversion efficiency of PSCs is increased from 16.95 to 19.05% with a short-circuit current density (Jsc) as high as 23.63 mA/cm2. Besides the enhanced light-trapping effect of Au NOs LSPR proved by optical spectroscopy analysis, the Kelvin probe force microscopy results show that Au NOs can also effectively reduce the surface potential of the electron transport layer, which promotes effective photocarrier extraction at the interfaces. This paper sheds light on the question of how plasmon excitation and light localization might be used advantageously in high-efficiency photovoltaics.

Disturbances in the redox state of a biological system can cause diverse effects and clinical functions. The key and difficulty lies in controlling the balance between reduction and oxidation. Nanomaterials with oxidoreductase-like activity offer an appealing way to adjust anti- and pro-oxidation in response to biological conditions. To this end, we design and prepare visible light-responsive hybrid nanozymes by combining Au and N-doped carbon dots (Au/NC). It is found that Au/NC can efficiently scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals and exhibit SOD-like activity, showing intrinsic antioxidant activity. Upon irradiation with visible light, we observe that Au/NC can generate ROS (e.g., hydroxyl radicals, superoxide, and singlet oxygen) and exhibit enhanced oxidase-like activity to accelerate the oxidation of chromogenic substrates, showing pro-oxidant capability. The light-activated oxidative activity is ascribed to the synergistic effects of photoexcitation of N-doped carbon dots and the surface plasmon resonance of Au nanoparticles. In addition, we demonstrate the application of the anti- and pro-oxidant capability of Au/NC in inhibition or acceleration of oxidation of Monascus pigments and Fe2+, which is switched by the incident light. These results will be of significant interest in modulating the biological redox conditions through responsive and precise nanozymes.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is to date a popular detection technology in chemistry, materials science, and medical research with growth potential to provide powerful sensing capabilities. However, there are still great challenges to design and fabricate reliable SERS substrate featuring good reproducibility and high sensitivity. Herein, we demonstrated a bio-templating approach to fabricate SERS substrate, using nanoimprint technique for replicating delicate hierarchical patterns of diatom frustules onto PDMS film, followed by sputtering Au nanoparticles. The minimum diameter and height of the nano-pillars on the substrate were ~ 40 nm and ~ 25 nm, respectively, which were identified with the dimensions of the nanopores on diatom frustules. The diameter and gap of the deposited Au nanoparticles could be changed by varying sputtering duration. The as-fabricated SERS substrate showed a high detection sensitivity (enhancement factor ~ 2.24 × 10 7 ) with good Raman signal reproducibility for the probe molecule Rhodamine 6G (relative standard deviation of the intensity at 612 cm −1 < 20%). More importantly, the limit of concentration (LOC) of the probe molecule reached as low as 10 −11 M. For extending the SERS substrate fabricated in this research to the potential applications including food safety, the SERS performance of Carbendazim was conducted and the LOC reached 10 −7 M.

Achieving the balance between the catalytic activity and product selectivity still remains a challenge in partial oxidation processes, because the products are prone to be over-oxidized. Lewis acids (such as AlCl 3 ) have previously been identified to interact with C O groups, which can prevent the ketone products from further transformation. In this work, ZrO 2 promoted Au-Pd/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst was designed to enhance the benzaldehyde selectivity by generating more surface Lewis acid site on ZrO 2 -modified alumina. Results show that the introduction of ZrO 2 (5%) resulted in the formation of more surface Lewis acid sites, which improved the benzaldehyde selectivity through the strengthened interaction between the Lewis acid sites and C O groups in benzaldehyde. Besides, the addition of small amount of ZrO 2 enhanced the noble metal dispersion and led to the formation of more active sites to improve the oxygen transfer during the reaction.

Fabrication of heterojunction is an effective way of improving the photocatalytic performance of semiconductor in the photocatalytic wastewater treatment. ZnO/Au@Cu 2 O heterojunctions were successfully synthesised using Au nanoparticles loaded onto the surface of ZnO nanorods as heterostructural seeds to induce in situ growth of Cu 2 O shells. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electrochemical workstation and UV–vis diffuse reflection spectrograph were employed to analyze the structures, compositions and photoelectric properties of the synthesised photocatalysts. After 45–90 min of the photocatalysis of ZnO/Au@Cu 2 O heterojunctions under simulated sunlight, the degradation efficiencies of methyl orange and rhodamine B could reach 93.0% and 99.6%, respectively, which were much higher than those with mono- and bi-component catalysts. The photocatalytic system with ZnO/Au@Cu 2 O can achieve deep mineralization to decompose organic dye molecules into non-toxic products. The formation of heterostructures not only could expand the spectral absorption range to the visible region but also efficiently facilitate charge separation to transfer more photo-generated holes and electrons to generate oxidative hydroxyl and superoxide radicals. A Z-scheme charge separation mechanism was proposed according to the determination of radical species and energy band structures of ZnO–Cu 2 O.

AgInS 2 and Au-loaded AgInS 2 (denoted as Au/AgInS 2 ) were prepared by one-pot method with thioacetamide as sulfur source and mercaptoacetic acid as stabilizer. The structure, morphology, and optical properties of the obtained samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, BET, HRTEM, DLS, PL, and UV–vis-DRS. The photocatalytic activities of AgInS 2 and Au/AgInS 2 for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) under visible light irradiation were investigated, and the optimal proportions of Au introduced on AgInS 2 for the degradation of RhB and 4-NP were obtained. The possible degradation mechanisms of 4-NP by AgInS 2 and Au/AgInS 2 were proposed based on the active species trapping experiment, optical properties characterization, and the flat potential determination. The results showed that Au was successfully introduced on the surface of AgInS 2 nanoparticles, and the photocatalytic degradation efficiencies of Au/AgInS 2 toward RhB and 4-NP were higher than those of AgInS 2 . 5%Au/AgInS 2 was the optimal proportion for the degradation of RhB, and the degradation efficiency could reach 98% in 30 min, while 7.5%Au/AgInS 2 was the best proportion for the degradation of 4-NP, and the degradation efficiency could reach 100% in 30 min. The enhanced visible light photocatalytic performances of Au/AgInS 2 could be attributed to the stronger visible light absorption and the lower recombination probability of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. Active species trapping experiment suggested that the main active species was superoxide radical (·O 2 − ) for the degradation of RhB by Au/AgInS 2 , while for the degradation of 4-NP, the main active species were superoxide radical (·O 2 − ) and hydroxyl radical (·OH).

The design of bimetallic core–shell nanostructures with mesoporous surfaces is considered significant to strengthen the catalytic activity and stability for direct methanol fuel cells. Here, we report a flexible method to synthesize Au@Pd core–shell mesoporous nanoflowers (Au@mPd NFs) with Au core coated with mesoporous Pd nano-petals, in which polymeric micelle-assembled structures are used as templates to induce the formation of mesopores. Benefiting from the electronic and structural effects, Au@mPd NFs show excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability for methanol oxidation reaction in alkaline electrolytes. This study demonstrates a versatile strategy for the fabrication of core–shell mesoporous nanoflowers with adjustable composition.

Dehydrogenation of ethane assisted by CO 2 has been investigated over Au catalyst supported on Y-doped CeO 2 nanorod. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM, N 2 adsorption, XPS, TG, H 2 -TPR and Raman spectroscopy. Enhanced activity can be obtained after the proper Y doping. The optimal catalyst Au/Ce 0.9 Y 0.1 exhibits an ethane conversion of 20.9% and nearly 100% selectivity to ethylene without any evident tendency of deactivation in 50 h. The reducibility of surface oxygen species is found to play a key role in the dehydrogenation assisted by CO 2 , which can be improved by proper Y doping into CeO 2 nanorod. The promoting effect of CO 2 on activity is evident over Au/Ce 0.9 Y 0.1 catalyst, due to the quick transformation of H 2 product into H 2 O by the reverse water gas shift reaction. The catalyst stability is also improved by the addition of CO 2 , attributed to the elimination of coke by Bouduoard reaction.

Molecular logic computation has drawn extensive attention in the fields of bioanalysis, intelligent diagnostics of diseases and other nanotechnology areas. DNA-templated Au nanoclusters (DNA-AuNCs) possess some excellent features, including high luminescence, good photo-stability and easy preparation. Herein, taking these advantages of DNA-AuNCs, we have designed and constructed a universal platform of label-free and enzyme-free multiple molecular logic gates, including NOR, XNOR, IMPLY, OR, AND, and INHIBIT. The experimental results have demonstrated the feasibility of these logic gates operations using Hg2+, Cu2+, biothiols, melamine and pyrophosphate (PPi) as inputs. Thus, the universal platform can be utilized for the determination of biothiols, melamine and pyrophosphate (PPi) via logic outputs. The strategy exhibited low cost, easy operation and versatile design, and can offer a promising platform for the development of functional logic systems.
