Article Abstract
ZnIn2S4 nanotubes and nanowires have been selectively fabricated via a convenient one-step wet-chemical approach by using porous polycarbonate membrane as a hard template. The wall of nanotubes is as thin as 5 nm, and the diameter of them is 200 nm. Formation mechanism of ZnIn2S4 nanotubes and nanowires is also discussed according to the experimental results. The structure, morphology, and composition properties of the as-prepared samples were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, UV-vis spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and scanning electron microscopy.

In this work, ZnInS layers were obtained on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) glass and TiO nanotubes (TiONT) using a hydrothermal process as photoanodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Then, samples were annealed and the effect of the annealing temperature was investigated. Optimization of the deposition process and annealing of ZnInS layers made it possible to obtain an FTO-based material generating a photocurrent of 1.

Hydrogen (H) evolution by photocatalytic water splitting is a potential strategy to solve worldwide energy shortage. Sulfide nanocatalysts showed great potential for H evolution, but suffered from low charge separation efficiency and easy agglomeration. In this work, ZnInS (ZIS) nanoflowers were anchored onto the surface of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) modified by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).

Article Synopsis
- Photocatalytic water splitting using semiconductors is a promising method for producing hydrogen fuel from renewable solar energy, but creating effective non-noble-metal photocatalysts remains challenging.
- This study introduces a new type of photocatalyst made of Cd-doped and S-deficient hierarchical nanotubes, which enhances light absorption and improves hydrogen production efficiency.
- The synthesized CdZnInS nanotubes achieve a remarkable hydrogen generation rate of 28.99 mmol·g·h, outperforming existing photocatalysts and suggesting potential for cost-effective and high-performance catalysts through smart design.

Despite advances in the development of photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor, modulating the PEC response of assembled heterostructure interface is still a great challenge. Here, an ultrasensitive PEC aptasensor for tobramycin (TOB) assay was conducted based on one-dimensional/two-dimensional CdS nanorods@ZnInS nanosheets (1D/2D CdS NRs@ZnInS NSs) heterojunctions by tailoring enzymatic loading capacity. Firstly, alkaline phosphatase modified TOB aptamer (ALP-Apt) was linked via specific base complementary pairing, and insoluble precipitations were then produced through the ALP-triggered catalytic reaction with the aid of Ag, which prevented the charge transfer and resulted in the decrement of photocurrent.

The realization of solar-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) process lies in the success development of materials with excellent photoelectric properties. Past reports identified TiO, upon modified with both Cd and ZnInS (ZIS), exhibits promising PEC performance; however, at the cost of tedious preparation. In view of this, our work proposes a facile one-step hydrothermal strategy to deposit both modifiers onto the pre-obtained TiO nanotubes (NTs), realizing rose-like TiO/ZnInS (TiO/ZIS) or tremella-like TiO/Cd:ZnInS (TiO/Cd:ZIS) with improved PEC performances.
