Highly ordered Au-decorated Ag nanorod arrays as an ultrasensitive and reusable substrate for surface enhanced Raman scattering
摘要： For surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates, complexity of the fabrication process, sensitivity and stability are factors that need to be considered. We report a simple and novel method for preparing an effective substrate that greatly enhances SERS signals. The SERS substrate is fabricated by selectively electroless deposition of Ag nanoparticles in the highly ordered porous anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) template and then etching it to form Ag nanorod bundles structure, so that the Raman enhancement occurs in the gap between the nanorods and the top of the nanorod bundle, which is verified by finite element analysis. A peculiarity of this method is that this is the first time to synthesize Ag nanorod arrays structure by using it. The results indicated that this prepared substrate has special micro-nano structure and when rhodamine 6 G is selected as the detection reagent, the detection limit is as low as 10?16 M with excellent recyclability. This outstanding array structure has a promising practical application in SERS field.

GNRs/PPy/m-SiO2 Core/Shell Hybrids as Drug Nanocarriers for Efficient Chemo-Photothermal Therapy
摘要： Combination therapy as a novel strategy with the combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy (photothermal-chemotherapy) has aroused the tremendously increasing interest owing to the synergistic therapeutic effect on destroying cancer cells since that the hyperthermia generated from photothermal therapy can promote drug delivery into tumors, which would highly increase therapeutic efficacy as compared to those sole treatments. Herein, we fabricated a novel nanomaterial-based carrier composed of GNRs, polypyrrole (PPy) and mesoporous silica to form GNRs/PPy/m-SiO2 core/shell hybrids. After loading the anticancer drug of doxorubicin (DOX), the photothermal effect and the drug-release behavior of GNRs/PPy@m-SiO2-DOX hybrids were investigated. The in vitro and in vivo near-infrared (NIR) photothermal-chemotherapy were also revealed. The results indicated the NIR-induced photothermal effect was beneficial to promote the release of the drug. In addition, combination therapy demonstrated the enhanced synergistic efficacy and excellent treatment efficacy for cancer therapy.

Development of a Protein Microarray Chip with Enhanced Fluorescence for Identification of Semen and Vaginal Fluid
摘要： The detection of body ?uids has been used to identify a suspect and build a criminal case. As the amount of evidence collected at a crime site is limited, a multiplex identi?cation system for body ?uids using a small amount of sample is required. In this study, we proposed a multiplex detection platform using an Ag vertical nanorod metal enhanced ?uorescence (MEF) substrate for semen and vaginal ?uid (VF), which are important evidence in cases of sexual crime. The Ag nanorod MEF substrate with a length of 500 nm was fabricated by glancing angle deposition, and amino functionalization was conducted to improve binding ability. The effect of incubation time was analyzed, and an incubation time of 60 min was selected, at which the ?uorescence signal was saturated. To assess the performance of the developed identi?cation chip, the identi?cation of semen and VF was carried out. The developed sensor could selectively identify semen and VF without any cross-reactivity. The limit of detection of the fabricated microarray chip was 10 times better than the commercially available rapid stain identi?cation (RSID) Semen kit.

Low-temperature-dependent growth of titanium dioxide nanorod arrays in an improved aqueous chemical growth method for photoelectrochemical ultraviolet sensing
摘要： The growth of titanium dioxide nanorod arrays (TNAs) in aqueous solutions containing titanium butoxide and hydrochloric acid can be controlled by regulating the temperature from 115 to 150 °C as an adjustable physical parameter. The transparent colloidal solution of titanates is clouded on the basic growth of TNAs when heated at a certain temperature using an improved aqueous chemical growth method in a clamped Schott bottle. The structural, optical and electrical properties of grown TNAs films were thoroughly investigated and discussed. The distinct and high-intensity peaks observed in the X-ray diffraction pattern and Raman spectra of the grown TNAs show the rutile phase with high crystal quality. The crystallite size, diameter size, and thickness of TNAs decrease with decreasing growth temperature. The prepared TNAs were used to detect 365 nm ultraviolet (UV) photon energy (750 μW/cm2) in a photoelectrochemical cell structure with a maximum photocurrent of 26.31 μA and minimum photocurrent of 3.48 μA recorded for TNAs grown at 150 °C and 115 °C, respectively. The size, structural properties, charge transfer resistance, and electron lifetime play a key role in determining the UV sensing characteristics of the TNAs. Results show that TNAs are very promising in fabricating a UV sensor with a high response at 0 V bias even at a low growth temperature of 115 °C.

Surface Modification on Nanoripple-like ZnO Nanorod Arrays Using Two-dimensional (2D) Bi2OS2 to Fabricate High-Performance Inverted Polymer Solar Cells
摘要： In this paper, three-dimensional (3D) nanoripple-like ZnO nanorod arrays (R-ZnO NRAs) are successfully fabricated and modified by two-dimensional (2D) Bi2OS2 material, and inverted polymer solar cells (IPSCs) with R-ZnO modified by Bi2OS2 as electron transmission layer (ETL) are fabricated for the first time. The results show that the surface morphologies of R-ZnO NRAs can be controlled by adjusting the concentration of the modified 2D Bi2OS2 solution. Bi2OS2 modification can not only suppress the surface defects of R-ZnO NRAs, reduce the recombination of photogenerated charges, but also increase crystallinity of the active layer, resulting in effective electron collection. And thus, the performance of IPSCs is obviously improved. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PTB7: PCBM based PSCs with R-ZnO NRAs modified by 2% Bi2O2S as ETL is considerably raised to 7.31% from 5.51%. More interestingly, Bi2OS2 modification enhances IPSCs stability to remain 80.9% of their initial PCE after 80 days, yet IPSCs with pristine R-ZnO NRAs remain only 47.4% of their initial PCE. Moreover, this approach can also successfully improve the performance of another IPSC composed of PBDB-T: ITIC blends. The PCE of the device based on 2% Bi2OS2-modified R-ZnO NRAs is improved to 9.94% from 8.03% of the reference device without Bi2OS2 modification. This work not only provides an effective mean of surface modification of R-ZnO NRAs, but also shows the Bi2OS2 material has potential application in PSCs.

Coupling between plasmonic nanohole array and nanorod arrays: the emerging of a new extraordinary optical transmission mode and epsilon-near-zero property
摘要： The compound Ag nanohole structures with an Ag nanorod in the middle of an Ag nanohole are investigated by finite-difference-time-domain calculations. The structure shows strong polarization-dependent optical properties. A new extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) mode is observed when the polarization direction is aligned with the long axis of the nanorods, and its resonance wavelength red-shifts exponentially with the nanorod length. Around this resonance wavelength, the real part of the effective permittivity also becomes zero, demonstrating the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) property. The new EOT mode is found to be the result of the enhanced local radiation of the nanorods as well as the electromagnetic coupling to the nanoholes to produce the enhanced transmission. The tunable resonance wavelength, EOT, strong near-field enhancement, and ENZ properties make the structure ideal for many potential applications, such as ultrathin optical filter, polarizers, surface-enhanced spectroscopies, etc.

Multi-cycle Growth of Boron Doped ZnO Films as Photoanode for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC)
摘要： The work is concerned with the fabrication of dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) utilizing multi-layer boron doped ZnO nanorods films. The B-doped ZnO films were prepared on FTO glass substrate via seed mediated hydrothermal method. Multi-layer B-doped ZnO nanorods were obtained by immersing the sample into a growth solution and repeated the growth process at 90 oC for 30 minutes. The structure of the B-doped ZnO film has been found to exhibit the hexagonal wurtzite structure. The length and diameter of the nanorods increase with the number of the growth cycle. The performance of the DSSC fabricated using the multi-layer B-doped ZnO nanorod was found to be significantly higher than that of the DSSC based on the single layer ZnO nanorod arrays. The best photovoltaic parameters with the JSC of 3.5 mA cm-2, FF of 0.38 and η of 0.67%, respectively was obtained for the device utilizing the layer with 3 cycles since it possesses the lowest photoluminescence in visible region and lowest Rct.

A Selfa??Powered Higha??Performance UV Photodetector Based on Corea??Shell GaN/MoO <sub/>3a??</sub><i> <sub/>x</sub></i> Nanorod Array Heterojunction
摘要： Self-powered UV photodetectors are highly desirable for applications in space communications and environmental monitoring. However, most self-powered UV photodetectors exhibit unimpressive performance in weak signal detection. Herein, a self-powered UV photodetector based on the core–shell GaN/MoO3–x nanorod array (NRA) heterojunction system is demonstrated. Homogeneous MoO3–x layers are deposited on GaN NRAs by a simple one-step physical vapor deposition method. The photodetector device shows an ultrahigh specific detectivity of 2.7 × 1015 Jones at 355 nm without any power supply. Further analyses reveal a responsivity of 160 A W?1 and a high UV–vis rejection ratio (R355 nm/R400 nm) of 2.0 × 104 under zero bias. The self-powered device also has a fast response speed with a rise/fall time of 73/90 μs. As a result, the self-powered photodetector, featuring ultrahigh detectivity and responsivity along with fast response, exhibits great potential for applications in next-generation UV detection. The core–shell NRA structure heterojunction design provides a valuable direction for realizing nanoscale self-powered UV photodetectors.

Morphological effect of composite TiO2 nanorod-TiO2 nanoparticle/PEDOT:PSS electrodes on triiodide reduction
摘要： Composite electrodes consisting of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs)-TiO2 nanorods (NRs) and poly (3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene)-polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) were prepared on a conductive glass substrate. The presence of TiO2 in the composite structure was proved by X-ray diffraction (XRD) Raman and FTIR-ATR measurements. The surface morphologies of TiO2 NP-PEDOT:PSS, TiO2 NR-PEDOT:PSS and TiO2 NP-TiO2 NR-PEDOT:PSS electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). According to the cyclic voltammetry measurement (CV), the electrocatalytic activity of composite electrodes on the reduction of triiodide improved after TiO2 addition compared with pristine PEDOT:PSS and platinum (Pt) electrodes. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showed that the charge transfer resistance (Rct) strongly depends on the morphologies (ratio between TiO2 NP and TiO2 NR) of the composite electrodes. It was found that Rct decreased by increasing the amount of TiO2 nanorod in the whole mixture of TiO2 nanoparticles and PEDOT:PSS.

Ternary Hierarchical Cu <sub/>7</sub> S <sub/>4</sub> /TiO <sub/>2</sub> /CoCr-LDH Heterostructured Nanorod Arrays with Multiphase Reaction Interfaces for More Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting
摘要： Fabricating hierarchical and highly matched heterostructure with large surface areas and multiple interfaces is an effective approach to enhancing the photoelectrochemical performance. Here, well-aligned hierarchical Cu7S4/TiO2/CoCr-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanorod arrays are reported, aiming at accelerating charge separation and transfer kinetics. The modifications of Cu7S4 and CoCr-LDH based on TiO2 have endowed the photoanode a surprising enhancement in both ultraviolet light absorption and charge separation efficiency due to highly matched band alignment. The formation of heterojunction is an effective strategy to prevent photocorrosion of Cu7S4 by attaching protective layers on Cu7S4. Moreover, other than the hierarchical morphology with enlarged active surface areas would provide sufficient active sites for the water oxidation processes and pore channels for the gas escaping, owing to the special band alignment of three components, multiple reaction interfaces are produced and involved in the water splitting process, since the photoinduced holes for water oxidation are simultaneously distributed in CoCr-LDH and Cu7S4. As expected, this synergistic effect in this ternary Cu7S4/TiO2/CoCr-LDH heterogeneous photoanode gives rise to a largely enhanced photoconversion efficiency (0.58% at 0.6 V) and photocurrent density (2.04 mA cm?2 at 1.23 V).
