TL;DR: In this article, a core/shell nanorod arrays of ZnO/CdS with varying shell thickness and their shell thickness dependent photocatalytic properties have been investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, an efficient and environmentally benign one-dimensional ZnO/In2S3 core/shell nanostructure was used as a photocatalyst to overcome the drawback of low photocatalytic efficiency brought by electron-hole recombination and narrow photoresponse range.

TL;DR: In this article, a TiO2/CuS core/shell nanostructures with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3MCA) surface functionalizing agent was proposed for degradation of virulent organic pollutants.

TL;DR: This work designs NaNbO3/CdS type-II core/shell heterostructures with an absorption range extending to visible range and explores the opportunity toward degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye as a model pollutant under visible light irradiation, implying that hydroxyl radicals play a crucial role in dictating the degradation of MB undervisible light.

TL;DR: The results presented here provide new insights for developing band gap engineered semiconductor nanostructures for energy-harvesting applications and demonstrate Ag2S to be a potential sensitizer to supersede Cd-based sensitizers for eco-friendly applications.
