Herein, we report the novel nanostructural interfaces of self-assembled hierarchical ZnO nanotubes/graphene (ZNT/G) with three different growing times ZNTs on graphene substrates (namely, SH1, SH2, and SH3). Each sample was fabricated interdigitated electrodes to form hydrogen sensors, their sensing properties were comprehensively studied. The systematic investigation revealed that SH1 sensor exhibits an ultrahigh response even at a low detection level 10 ppm (14.3%) 100 (28.1%) compared...

Granular activated carbon (GAC) materials were prepared via simple gas activation of silkworm cocoons and coated on ZnO nanorods (ZNRs) by the facile hydrothermal method. The present combination GAC ZNRs shows a core-shell structure (where is surface ZNRs) exposed systematic material analysis. as-prepared samples then fabricated as dual-functional sensors and, most fascinatingly, as-fabricated exhibits better UV H2 sensing properties than those GAC. Thus, structure-based sensor fast...

Molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) is a promising gas sensing material due to its large surface-to-volume ratio, narrow band gap, and excellent absorptions. However, MoSe2-based sensors possess inferior response recovery at room temperature. In this context, assembly of hybrid structures can be an effective technique stimulate the intrinsic structural electronic properties MoSe2 nanosheets (NSs). Herein, we report interfacial science engineering design unique p–n hetero nanostructure for first...

Herein, the novel strategy of copper oxide (CuO) deposited oxygen-doped nitrogen incorporated nanodiamond (NOND)/Si pyramids (Pyr-Si) heterostructure is studied for high-performance nonenzymatic glucose sensor. The combined properties surface-modified NOND/Pyr-Si induced by different growth durations (5 to 20 min) CuO envisioned improve sensitivity and stability. For comparison, same methods parameters were on plane silicon wafers. systematic analysis reveals best sensing 15 min grown...
