Cover Feature: Enhancing Photoelectrochemical Oxygen Demand Detection by Superhydrophobic and Surface‐Passivated Cocatalyst Engineering (ChemSusChem 22/2025)
The Cover Feature demonstrates a photoelectrochemical water quality sensor integrated with a superhydrophobic, surface-passivated NiOx/S-C/BiVO4 photoelectrode, engineered for highly sensitive chemical oxygen demand (COD) detection of diverse pollutants. The sensor targets biomass derivatives (glucose), oil byproducts (glycerin), and plastic byproducts (ethylene glycol)-key contaminants from industrial and agricultural wastewater-with exceptional sensitivity due to enhanced charge separation and suppressed water splitting. As an eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods, it avoids toxic reagents and enables rapid, real-time monitoring, meeting the demand for practical water quality assessment. More information can be found in the Research Article by K.-H. Ye and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202501758).
