Sub PPM Detection of NO₂ Using Strontium Doped Bismuth Ferrite Nanostructures.

ABSTRACT: The present work investigates the NO₂ sensing properties of acceptor-doped ferrite perovskite nanostructures. The Sr-doped BiFeO₃ nanostructures were synthesized by a salt precursor-based modified pechini method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The synthesized materials were drop coated to fabricate chemoresistive gas sensors, delivering a maximum sensitivity of 5.2 towards 2 ppm NO₂ at 260 °C. The recorded values of response and recovery time are 95 s and 280 s, respectively. The sensor based on Bi_0.8Sr_0.2FeO_3-δ (BSFO) that was operated was shown to have a LOD (limit of detection) as low as 200 ppb. The sensor proved to be promising for repeatability and selectivity measurements, indicating that the Sr doping Bismuth ferrite could be a potentially competitive material for sensing applications. A relevant gas-sensing mechanism is also proposed based on the surface adsorption and reaction behavior of the material.

Project description:In this study, various concentrations of strontium (Sr) into a fixed amount of starch (St) and Fe2O3 nanostructures (NSs) were synthesized with the co-precipitation approach to evaluate the antibacterial and photocatalytic properties of the concerned NSs. The study aimed to synthesize nanorods of Fe2O3 with co-precipitation to enhance the bactericidal behavior with dopant-dependent Fe2O3. Advanced techniques were utilized to investigate the structural characteristics, morphological properties, optical absorption and emission, and elemental composition properties of synthesized samples. Measurements via X-ray diffraction confirmed the rhombohedral structure for Fe2O3. Fourier-transform infrared analysis explored the vibrational and rotational modes of the O-H functional group and the C=C and Fe-O functional groups. The energy band gap of the synthesized samples was observed in the range of 2.78-3.15 eV, which indicates that the blue shift in the absorption spectra of Fe2O3 and Sr/St-Fe2O3 was identified with UV-vis spectroscopy. The emission spectra were obtained through photoluminescence spectroscopy, and the elements in the materials were determined using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy micrographs showed NSs that exhibit nanorods (NRs), and upon doping, agglomeration of NRs and nanoparticles was observed. Efficient degradations of methylene blue increased the photocatalytic activity in the implantation of Sr/St on Fe2O3 NRs. The antibacterial potential for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was measured against ciprofloxacin. E. coli bacteria exhibit inhibition zones of 3.55 and 4.60 mm at low and high doses, respectively. S. aureus shows the measurement of inhibition zones for low and high doses of prepared samples at 0.47 and 2.40 mm, respectively. The prepared nanocatalyst showed remarkable antibacterial action against E. coli bacteria rather than S. aureus at high and low doses compared to ciprofloxacin. The best-docked conformation of the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme against E. coli for Sr/St-Fe2O3 showed H-bonding interactions with Ile-94, Tyr-100, Tyr-111, Trp-30, ASP-27, Thr-113, and Ala-6.
