Core Shell Structure

Although ZnO nanostructure-based photodetectors feature a well-established system, they still present difficulties when being used in practical situations due to their slow response time. In this study, we report on how forming an amorphous SnO2 (a-SnO2) shell layer on ZnO nanorods (NRs) enhances the photoresponse speed of a ZnO-based UV photodetector (UV PD). Our suggested UV PD, consisting of a ZnO/a-SnO2 NRs core–shell structure, shows a rise time that is 26 times faster than a UV PD with bare ZnO NRs under 365 nm UV irradiation. In addition, the light responsivity of the ZnO/SnO2 NRs PD simultaneously increases by 3.1 times, which can be attributed to the passivation effects of the coated a-SnO2 shell layer. With a wide bandgap (~4.5 eV), the a-SnO2 shell layer can successfully suppress the oxygen-mediated process on the ZnO NRs surface, improving the photoresponse properties. Therefore, with a fast photoresponse speed and a low fabrication temperature, our as-synthesized, a-SnO2-coated ZnO core–shell structure qualifies as a candidate for ZnO-based PDs.

The next generation wearable devices are Smart health monitoring device and Smart sousveillance hat which are capable of using wearable sensors for measuring physiological information, sousveillanace, navigation, as well as smart device to smart device communications over cellular coverage. Smart health monitoring device collect and observe different health related information deploying biosensors and can predict health problems. Smart sousveillance hat provides the brainwaves based fatigue state, training and sousveillance around the wearer. The next generation wearable smart devices deploy the device to device communications in LTE assisted networks with D2D server, D2D Application server and D2D enhanced LTE signalling for D2D service management, spectrum utilization and broad cellular coverage, which make them portable, social, commercial and sustainable. Thus, the wearable device technology will merge with the smart communications besides the health and wellness. Furthermore, the simulation and performance evaluation shows that LTE-D2D wearable smart device communications provides two times more energy efficiency than LTE-UEs cellular communications. The LTE-D2D data rate is also found significantly higher with higher D2D-SINR for lower relative mobility (= 30m/s) and lower D2D distance (<400m) between devices.

In this work, ZnO nanorods (ZnO NRs) were successfully synthesized on FTO-glass via hydrothermal technique. Two steps were followed to grow ZnO NRs. In the first step, the seed layer of ZnO nanocrystals was deposited by using a drop cast method. The second step was represented by the hydrothermal growth of ZnO NRs on a pre-coated FTO- glass with the seed layer. The hydrothermal growth was conducted at 90∘C for 2[Formula: see text]h. The resulted structure, morphology and optical properties of the produced layers were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and UV-visible spectrophotometer, respectively. The analysis confirmed that the ZnO NRs grown by the hydrothermal method have a hexagonal crystal structure which was grown randomly on the FTO surface. The crystallite size was recorded 50[Formula: see text]nm and a slight microstrain (0.142%) was calculated. The bandgap was found to be in the range of 3.14–3.17[Formula: see text]eV. The ZnO NRs have a high density and large aspect ratio. A pH sensor with high sensitivity was fabricated using a two-electrode cell configuration. The ZnO NRs sensor showed the sensitivity of [Formula: see text]59.03[Formula: see text]mV/pH, which is quite promising and close to the theoretical value ([Formula: see text]59.12[Formula: see text]mV/pH).
