Abstract:
Advanced conductors (such as conducting and semiconducting polymers) are vital building blocks for modern technologies and biocompatible devices as faster computing and smaller device sizes are demanded. Conjugated conducting and semiconducting polymers (including poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), polyaniline (PANI), polythiophene (PTh), and polypyrrole (PPy)) provide the mechanical flexibility required for the next generation of energy and electronic devices. Electrical conductivity, ionic conductivity, and optoelectronic characteristics of advanced conductors are governed by their texture and constituent nanostructures. Thus, precise textural and nanostructural engineering of advanced conjugated conducting and semiconducting polymers provide an outstanding pathway to facilitate their adoption in various technological applications, including but not limited to energy storage and harvesting devices, flexible optoelectronics, bio-functional materials, and wearable electronics. This review article focuses on the basic interconnection among the nanostructure and the characteristics of conjugated conducting and semiconducting polymers. In addition, the application of conjugated conducting and semiconducting polymers in flexible energy devices and the resulting state-of-the-art device performance will be covered.

Abstract:
One-dimensional (1D) inorganic semiconductor nanostructures have witnessed an explosion of interest over the last decade because of advances in their controlled synthesis and unique property and potential applications. A wide range of gases, chemicals, biomedical nanosensors, and photodetectors have been assembled using 1D inorganic semiconductor nanostructures. The high-performance characteristics of these nanosensors are particularly attributable to the inorganic semiconducting nanostructure high surface-to-volume ratio (SVR) and its rationally designed surface. In this review, we provide a brief summary of the state-of-the-art research activities in the field of 1D inorganic semiconductor nanostructure-based nanosensors. Some perspectives and the outlook for future developments in this area are presented.

Abstract:
Environmental pollution related to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become a global issue which attracts intensive work towards their controlling and monitoring. To this direction various regulations and research towards VOCs detection have been laid down and conducted by many countries. Distinct devices are proposed to monitor the VOCs pollution. Among them, chemiresistor devices comprised of inorganic-semiconducting materials with diverse nanostructures are most attractive because they are cost-effective and eco-friendly. These diverse nanostructured materials-based devices are usually made up of nanoparticles, nanowires/rods, nanocrystals, nanotubes, nanocages, nanocubes, nanocomposites, etc. They can be employed in monitoring the VOCs present in the reliable sources. This review outlines the device-based VOC detection using diverse semiconducting-nanostructured materials and covers more than 340 references that have been published since 2016.

Abstract:
Nanoscale semiconducting materials such as quantum dots (0-dimensional) and one-dimensional (1D) structures, like nanowires, nanobelts, and nanotubes, have gained tremendous attention within the past decade. Among the variety of 1D nanostructures, tin oxide (SnO2) semiconducting nanostructures are particularly interesting because of their promising applications in optoelectronic and electronic devices due to both good conductivity and transparence in the visible region. This article provides a comprehensive review of the recent research activities that focus on the rational synthesis and unique applications of 1D SnO2nanostructures and their optical and electrical properties. We begin with the rational design and synthesis of 1D SnO2nanostructures, such as nanotubes, nanowires, nanobelts, and some heterogeneous nanostructures, and then highlight a range of applications (e.g., gas sensor, lithium-ion batteries, and nanophotonics) associated with them. Finally, the review is concluded with some perspectives with respect to future research on 1D SnO2nanostructures.

Abstract:
We combined a conducting polymer, polyaniline (PANI), with an organic semiconducting macrocyclic (MCs) material. The macrocycles are the phthalocyanines and porphyrins used to tune the electrical properties of the PANI, which benefits from their ability to enhance sensor response. For this, we proceeded by a simple ultrasonically assisted reaction involving the two components, i.e., the PANI matrix and the MCs, to achieve the synthesis of the composite nanostructure PANI/MCs. The composite nanostructure has been characterized and deposited on interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) to construct resistive sensor devices. The isolated nanostructured composites present good electrical properties dominated by PANI electronic conductivity, and the characterization reveals that both components are present in the nanostructure. The experimental results obtained under gas exposures show that the composite nanostructures can be used as a sensing material with enhanced sensing properties. The sensing performance under different conditions, such as ambient humidity, and the sensor’s operating temperature are also investigated. Sensing behavior in deficient humidity levels and their response at different temperatures revealed unusual behaviors that help to understand the sensing mechanism. Gas sensors based on PANI/MCs demonstrate significant stability over time, but this stability is highly reduced after experiments in lower humidity conditions and at high temperatures.

Abstract:
Nanostructured zinc stannate binary semiconducting metal nanoparticles are having considerable attention owing to their special and unique properties rendering them suitable for a wide range of variety applications. In the quest to further improve the physico-chemical properties, an interest in ternary complex oxides has become noticeable in recent times. Zinc stannate nanoparticles or zinc tin oxide (ZTO) is a class of ternary oxides, which are known for their stable properties under extreme conditions, higher electron conductivity and mobility compared to its binary counterparts and other interesting optical properties. Among the different methods of synthesizing ZTO nanostructures, the autoclave method is an attractive green technique, which is carried out at low temperatures. In this work, we summarized the conditions leading to the growth of ZTO nanostructures using the hydrothermal method, evaluated few of its antimicrobial applications and compared with reported literature.

These systems were characterized using x-ray diffraction, SEM microscopy and surface area measurements. The solid solutions demonstrated good sensorial response at low temperatures, as well as fast response as a function of time.

Abstract:
We theoretically interpreted the anomalous temperature-dependence of electrical resistivity (T) of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures. Resistivity in the metallic phase is investigated using the Bloch- Gruneisen [BG] model of resistivity, whereas the resistivity (T) in the semiconducting phase of ZnO nanostructures is investigated using the small polaron conduction (SPC) model. In the low temperature domain, T indicates the presence of the semiconducting phase; it reaches an absolute minimum at 180 K and grows linearly with temperature in the high temperature region. The Bloch-Gruneisen [BG] model of resistivity was used to determine the contributions to resistivity made by intrinsic acoustic phonons (ac) and optical phonons (op) characterized by high frequency. The theoretically calculated resistivity by taking into account both phonons i.e. ac and op, as well as the temperature independent resistivity is summed along with the electron-electron interaction e-e to get the overall resistivity of the material. The small polaron conduction (SPC) approach is used to study resistivity in the semiconducting phase at low temperatures below 180 degrees Celsius.

AbstractZinc oxide is a unique material that exhibits semiconducting, piezoelectric, and pyroelectric multifunctionalities. By controlling the size and orientation of the polar surfaces of ZnO nanobelts, single - crystal nanocombs, nanorings, nanohelices, nanosprings, and nanobows of ZnO have been synthesized. This article centers on the fundamental growth mechanism and fabrication of electromechanical devices based on piezoelectric ZnO nanostructures, including a nanogenerator using aligned ZnO nanowires for converting nanoscale mechanical energy into electric energy. The mechanism of the electric nanogenerator relies on the unique coupling of the piezoelectric and semiconducting properties of ZnO, which is the fundamental principle of nano - piezotronics, a new field using the piezoelectric effect for fabricating electronic devices and components. The approach has the potential of converting biological mechanical energy, acoustic/ultrasonic vibration energy, and biofluid hydraulic energy into electricity, demonstrating a new pathway for self - powering of wireless nanodevices and nanosystems.

Abstract:
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors are very powerful analytical tools for the highly sensitive detection of chemical and biological molecules. Substantial efforts have been devoted to the design of a great number of hybrid SERS substrates such as silicon or zinc oxide nanosystems coated with gold/silver nanoparticles. By comparison with the SERS sensors based on Au and Ag nanoparticles/nanostructures, higher enhancement factors and excellent reproducibilities are achieved with hybrid SERS nanosensors. This enhancement can be due to the appearance of hotspots located at the interface between the metal (Au/Ag) and the semiconducting substrates. Thus, in this last decade, great advances in the domain of hybrid SERS nanosensors have occurred. In this short review, the recent advances of these hybrid metal-coated semiconducting nanostructures as SERS sensors of chemical and biological molecules are presented.

Abstract:
We report on a new class of ZnO/ZnS nanomaterials based on the wurtzite/sphalerite architecture with improved electronic properties. Semiconducting properties of pristine ZnO and ZnS compounds and mixed ZnO1−xSx nanomaterials have been investigated using ab initio methods. In particular, we present the results of our theoretical investigation on the electronic structure of the ZnO1−xSx (x = 0.20, 0.25, 0.33, 0.50, 0.60, 0.66, and 0.75) nanocrystalline polytypes (2H, 3C, 4H, 5H, 6H, 8H, 9R, 12R, and 15R) calculated using hybrid PBE0 and HSE06 functionals. The main observations are the possibility of alternative polytypic nanomaterials, the effects of structural features of such polytypic nanostructures on semiconducting properties of ZnO/ZnS nanomaterials, the ability to tune the band gap as a function of sulfur content, as well as the influence of the location of sulfur layers in the structure that can dramatically affect electronic properties. Our study opens new fields of ZnO/ZnS band gap engineering on a multi-scale level with possible applications in photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, heterojunction solar cells, infrared detectors, thermoelectrics, or/and nanostructured ceramics.

Abstract:
This paper focused on generated output voltage by converting the mechanical energy to electrical response piezoelectric output voltage by tapping the finger of the hand on flexible nanogenerators fabrication of nanocomposites fibers (zinc oxide/polyvinylidene fluoride) ZnO/PVDF. Since, zinc oxide nanostructured materials have unique properties as their nanostructures, semiconducting, and piezoelectric which synthesize practically simply by a hydrothermal process at low temperatures. The structure and morphology of reactant materials, and, the fabricated nanofibers of the nanocomposites are characterized by XRD and SEM. The output is measured by an oscilloscope. The maximum output piezoelectric voltage for 18%ZnO–16%PVDF was 1.600 V. Therefore, the generators can be used as sensors in medical applications and other fields.

Abstract:
Nanostructured titania (TiO2) is the most widely applied semiconducting oxide for a variety of purposes, and it is found in many commercial products. The vast majority of uses rely on its photo-activity, which, upon light irradiation, results in excited states that can be used for diverse applications. These range from catalysis, especially for energy or environmental remediation, to medicine—in particular, to attain antimicrobial surfaces and coatings for titanium implants. Clearly, the properties of titania are enhanced when working at the nanoscale, thanks to the increasingly active surface area. Nanomorphology plays a key role in the determination of the materials’ final properties. In particular, the nucleation and growth of nanosized titania onto carbon nanostructures as a support is a hot topic of investigation, as the nanocarbons not only provide structural stability but also display the ability of electronic communication with the titania, leading to enhanced photoelectronic properties of the final materials. In this concise review, we present the latest progress pertinent to the use of nanocarbons as templates to tailor nanostructured titania, and we briefly review the most promising applications and future trends of this field.

Abstract:
Low-dimensional nanostructured materials such as organic and inorganic nanotubes, nanowires and platelets are potentially useful in a number of areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology due to their remarkable mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. However difficulties associated with their lack of processability have seriously hampered both. In the last few years dispersion and exfoliation methods have been developed and demonstrated to apply universally to 1D and 2D nanostructures of very diverse nature, offering a practical means of processing the nanostructures for a wide range of innovative technologies. Among the first materials to have benefitted most from these advances are carbon nanotubes [6] and more recently graphene. Recently this work has been extended to boron nitride and a wide range of two-dimensional transition metal chalcogenides. These are potentially important because they occur in >40 different types with a wide range of electronic properties, varying from metallic to semiconducting. To make real applications truly feasible, however, it is crucial to fully characterize the nanostructures on the atomic scale and correlate this information with their physical and chemical properties. Advances in aberration-corrected optics in electron microscopy have revolutionised the way to characterise nano-materials, opening new frontiers for materials science. With the recent advances in nanostructure processability, electron microscopes are now revealing the structure of the individual components of nanomaterials, atom by atom. Here we will present an overview of very different low-dimensional materials issues, showing what aberration-corrected electron microscopy can do to answer materials scientists' questions. Particular emphasis will be given to the investigation of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and tungsten disulfide (WS2) and the study of their structure, defects, stacking sequence, vacancies and low-atomic number individual adatoms. The analyses of the h-BN data showed that majority of nanosheets retain bulk stacking. However several of the images displayed stacking different from the bulk. Similar, to 2D h-BN, images of MoS2 and WS2 have shown the stacking previously unobserved in the bulk. This novel stacking consists of Mo/W stacked on the top each other in the consecutive layers.

Abstract:
A quantitative metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) model and a Matlab based program have been developed and used to obtain parameters that are important for characterizing semiconductor nanowires (NWs), nanotubes (NTs) or nanoribbons (NRs). The use of the MSM model for quantitative analysis of nonlinear current–voltage curves of one-dimensional semiconducting nanostructures is illustrated by working through two examples, i.e., an amorphous carbon NT and a ZnO NW, and the obtained parameters include the carrier density, mobility, resistance of the NT(NW), and the heights of the two Schottky barriers formed at the interfaces between metal electrodes and semiconducting NT(NW).

Abstract:
Recent advances in synthesis, characterization and application of the selected conducting/semiconducting and redox-active oligomers and polymers of arylamines are reviewed. A brief historical background of the selected topics is given. The overview of the preparation, structure and properties of polyaniline, substituted polyanilines, especially those obtained by the oxidative polymerization of p-substituted anilines, poly(1-aminonaphthalene) and its derivatives, carbocyclic and heterocyclic polyaryldiamines such as poly(p-phenylenediamine) and polydiaminoacridines, is presented. The mechanism of formation of polyaniline nanostructures is discussed. Recent approaches to the preparation of one-dimensional polyaniline nanostructures are concisely reviewed, with special attention paid to the template-free falling-pH method. Current and potential future applications of oligo/polyarylamines are briefly discussed.
