Article Abstract

Metal oxides with nanoarray structures have been demonstrated to be prospective materials for the design of gas sensors with high sensitivity. In this work, the WO nanoneedle array structures were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method and subsequent calcination. It was demonstrated that the calcination of the sample at 400 °C facilitated the construction of lilac-like multiple self-supporting WO arrays, with appropriate c/h-WO heterophase junction and highly oriented nanoneedles. Sensors with this structure exhibited the highest sensitivity (2305) to 100 ppm ethylene glycol at 160 °C and outstanding selectivity. The enhanced ethylene glycol gas sensing can be attributed to the abundant transport channels and active sites provided by this unique structure. In addition, the more oxygen adsorption caused by the heterophase junction and the aggregation of reaction medium induced by tip effect are both in favor of the improvement on the gas sensing performance.

Strong Microbasicity in PVA/ChCl Eutectogels Induced by a Large Population of Bound Water.

J Phys Chem B

September 2025

School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Yangtze University, Jingzhou 434023, China.

Eutectogels have emerged as versatile materials for wearable electronics, optical sensors, and biomedical applications. This study introduced the first investigation of microenvironmental basicity in poly(vinyl alcohol)/choline chloride (PVA/ChCl) eutectogels using lumichrome as a fluorescent probe. The incorporation of ChCl was demonstrated to enhance the microbasicity of PVA films, as evidenced by the significant promotion of lumichrome deprotonation.

Calcium oxalate (CaOx) stones are prevalent in urinary tract stone disease. While their formation can be induced in rats by administering ethylene glycol and vitamin D, the initial nucleation and formation processes are unclear. Here, we aimed to determine where CaOx crystals initially form, examine the associated histological and morphological changes, and clarify the genes whose expression varies at those sites and their function.
