Zinc oxides deposited on Tin dioxide nanowires have been successfully synthesized by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The diameter of SnO2-ZnO core-shell nanowires is 100 nm by ALD 200 cycles. The result of electricity measurements shows that the resistance of SnO2-ZnO core-shell nanowires (ALD: 200 cycles) is 925 Ω, which is much lower than pure SnO2nanowires (3.6 × 106 Ω). The result of UV light test shows that the recovery time of SnO2-ZnO core-shell nanowires (ALD: 200 cycles) is 328 seconds, which is lower than pure SnO2nanowires (938 seconds). These results demonstrated that the SnO2-ZnO core-shell nanowires have potential application as UV photodetectors with high photon-sensing properties.

<div>As a promising oxygen evolution reaction semiconductor, TiO2 has been extensively investigated for solar photoelectrochemical water splitting. Here, a highly efficient and stable strategy for rationally preparing GaON cocatalysts on TiO2 by atomic layer deposition is demonstrated, which we show significantly enhances the</div><div>photoelectrochemical performance compared to TiO2-based photoanodes. For TiO2@20 nm-GaON core-shell nanowires a photocurrent density up to 1.10 mA cm-2 (1.23 V vs RHE) under AM 1.5 G irradiation (100 mW cm-2) has been achieved, which is 14 times higher than that of TiO2 NWs. Furthermore, the oxygen vacancy formation on GaON as well as the band gap matching with TiO2 not only provides more active sites for water oxidation but also enhances light absorption to promote interfacial charge separation and migration. Density functional theory studies of model systems of GaON-modified TiO2 confirm the band gap reduction, high reducibility and ability to activate water. The highly efficient and stable systems of TiO2@GaON core-shell nanowires provide a deeper understanding and universal strategy for enhancing photoelectrochemical performance of photoanodes now available. </div>

ZnO-NiO core–shell nanowires and Ni-ZnO nanoparticle–nanowire composites have been synthesized by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and H2 thermal reduction, respectively. Grown ZnO nanowires on Si substrates by vapor transport method were used as templates for the growth of NiO layers. In order to prevent interfacial interaction between deposited NiO and ZnO nanowires templates by the reaction at low temperature and to precisely control the thickness of NiO layer, ALD technique was suitably employed to form the ZnO-NiO core–shell nanowires. All surface area of ZnO nanowires was completely and uniformly covered by amorphous NiO layers at low temperature of 130 °C. The Ni-ZnO nanoparticle–nanowire composites were achieved by the thermal reduction of the ZnO-NiO core–shell nanowires at H2 atmosphere. The density of Ni nanoparticles on ZnO nanowires was roughly related to the pre-deposited NiO thickness and the inter-diffusion of Ni into the ZnO nanowire was not observed.
