“…The (111), ( 200) and ( 220 16 Figure 5e shows S 2P 3/2 and S 2p 1/2 peaks at 161.4 and 162.6 eV indicative of S 2− and ZnS. 17 CV is performed in 1 M KOH with Au/ZnS/ZnO as the working electrode, platinum electrode as the counter electrode, and saturated calomel as the reference electrode. Figure 6a displays the CV results of Au/ZnS/ZnO at a scanning rate of 50 mVs −1 in the voltage window of 0 − 0.8 V under different conditions: no Cd 2+ added, no ultraviolet irradiation, Cd 2+ added, ultraviolet light irradiation, as well as Cd 2+ added together with ultraviolet light illumination.…”
Sensitive and selective detection of cadmium ions is important to pollution monitoring and human health. In this work, a photoelectrochemical sensor for Cd2+ composed of Au/ZnS/ZnO modified nickel foam is prepared hydrothermally and by reduction. The materials and electrochemical properties are characterized systematically. The Au/ZnS/ZnO electrode exhibits a linear relationship with Cd2+ concentrations in the range of 0.1 to 100 μM with a correlation coefficient of 0.9993 in conjunction with a high sensitivity of 158.3 μA mM-1 cm-2. The synergistic structure boasting detection of Cd2+ with high sensitivity and selectivity has broad application prospect in environmental science and pollution control.

“…6 Thus, remarkable efforts have been directed towards searching for efficient and stable semiconductors. 152–154 However, the chemical instability in an open environment is a crucial problem, especially in highly acidic or alkaline electrolytes. Therefore, an effective protection layer is worthy of investigation.…”
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been densely investigated owing to its low cost, benign nature and strong photocatalytic ability. Thus, TiO2 has broad applications including photocatalysts, Li-ion batteries, solar cells, medical...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
