CeO₂ Enhanced Ethanol Sensing Performance in a CdS Gas Sensor.

ABSTRACT: CdS nanowires (NWs) were fabricated through a facile low-temperature solvothermal method, following which CeO₂ nanoparticles were modified on the NWs. The ethanol sensing characteristics of pure CdS and decorated ones with different CeO₂ content were studied. It was found that the sensing performance of CdS was significantly improved after CeO₂ decoration. In particular, the 5 at% CeO₂/CdS composite exhibited a much higher response to 100 ppm ethanol (about 52), which was 2.6 times larger than that of pure CdS. A fast response and recovery time (less than 12 s and 3 s, respectively) were obtained as well as an excellent selectivity. These results make the CeO₂-decorated CdS NWs good candidates for ethanol sensing applications.

Controlled Synthesis and Enhanced Gas Sensing Performance of Zinc-Doped Indium Oxide Nanowires.

Project description:Indium oxide (In2O3) is a widely used n-type semiconductor for detection of pollutant gases; however, its gas selectivity and sensitivity have been suboptimal in previous studies. In this work, zinc-doped indium oxide nanowires with appropriate morphologies and high crystallinity were synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). An accurate method for electrical measurement was attained using a single nanowire microdevice, showing that electrical resistivity increased after doping with zinc. This is attributed to the lower valence of the dopant, which acts as an acceptor, leading to the decrease in electrical conductivity. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirms the increased oxygen vacancies due to doping a suitable number of atoms, which altered oxygen adsorption on the nanowires and contributed to improved gas sensing performance. The sensing performance was evaluated using reducing gases, including carbon monoxide, acetone, and ethanol. Overall, the response of the doped nanowires was found to be higher than that of undoped nanowires at a low concentration (5 ppm) and low operating temperatures. At 300 °C, the gas sensing response of zinc-doped In2O3 nanowires was 13 times higher than that of undoped In2O3 nanowires. The study concludes that higher zinc doping concentration in In2O3 nanowires improves gas sensing properties by increasing oxygen vacancies after doping and enhancing gas molecule adsorption. With better response to reducing gases, zinc-doped In2O3 nanowires will be applicable in environmental detection and life science.

Calcination Method Synthesis of SnO2/g-C3N4 Composites for a High-Performance Ethanol Gas Sensing Application.

Project description:The SnO₂/g-C₃N₄ composites were synthesized via a facile calcination method by using SnCl₄·5H₂O and urea as the precursor. The structure and morphology of the as-synthesized composites were characterized by the techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), the field-emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (FESEM and TEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), thermal gravity and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), and N₂-sorption. The analysis results indicated that the as-synthesized samples possess the two dimensional structure. Additionally, the SnO₂ nanoparticles were highly dispersed on the surface of the g-C₃N₄ nanosheets. The gas-sensing performance of the as-synthesized composites for different gases was tested. Moreover, the composite with 7 wt % g-C₃N₄ content (SnO₂/g-C₃N₄-7) exhibits an admirable gas-sensing property to ethanol, which possesses a higher response and better selectivity than that of the pure SnO2-based sensor. The high surface area of the SnO2/g-C3N4 composite and the good electronic characteristics of the two dimensional graphitic carbon nitride are in favor of the elevated gas-sensing property.

Solid-State Method Synthesis of SnO?-Decorated g-C?N? Nanocomposites with Enhanced Gas-Sensing Property to Ethanol.

Project description:SnO?/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C?N?) composites were synthesized via a facile solid-state method by using SnCl?·5H?O and urea as the precursor. The structure and morphology of the as-synthesized composites were characterized by the techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and N? sorption. The results indicated that the composites possessed a two-dimensional (2-D) structure, and the SnO? nanoparticles were highly dispersed on the surface of the g-C?N? nanosheets. The gas-sensing performance of the samples to ethanol was tested, and the SnO?/g-C?N? nanocomposite-based sensor exhibited admirable properties. The response value (Ra/Rg) of the SnO?/g-C?N? nanocomposite with 10 wt % 2-D g-C?N? content-based sensor to 500 ppm of ethanol was 550 at 300 °C. However, the response value of pure SnO? was only 320. The high surface area of SnO?/g-C?N?-10 (140 m²·g-1) and the interaction between 2-D g-C?N? and SnO? could strongly affect the gas-sensing property.

Highly selective detection of methanol over ethanol by a handheld gas sensor.

Project description:Methanol poisoning causes blindness, organ failure or even death when recognized too late. Currently, there is no methanol detector for quick diagnosis by breath analysis or for screening of laced beverages. Typically, chemical sensors cannot distinguish methanol from the much higher ethanol background. Here, we present an inexpensive and handheld sensor for highly selective methanol detection. It consists of a separation column (Tenax) separating methanol from interferants like ethanol, acetone or hydrogen, as in gas chromatography, and a chemoresistive gas sensor (Pd-doped SnO2 nanoparticles) to quantify the methanol concentration. This way, methanol is measured within 2?min from 1 to 1000 ppm without interference of much higher ethanol levels (up to 62,000 ppm). As a proof-of-concept, we reliably measure methanol concentrations in spiked breath samples and liquor. This could enable the realization of highly selective sensors in emerging applications such as breath analysis or air quality monitoring.

Selective Functionalization of High-Resolution Cu?O Nanopatterns via Galvanic Replacement for Highly Enhanced Gas Sensing Performance.

Project description:Recently, high-resolution patterned metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) have gained considerable attention for enhanced gas sensing performance due to their polycrystalline nature, ultrasmall grain size (~5 nm), patternable properties, and high surface-to-volume ratio. Herein, we significantly enhanced the sensing performance of that patterned MOS by galvanic replacement, which allows for selective functionalization on ultrathin Cu?O nanopatterns. Based on the reduction potential energy difference between the base channel material (Cu?O) and the decorated metal ion (Pt2+), Pt could be selectively and precisely decorated onto the desired area of the Cu?O nanochannel array. Overall, the Pt-decorated Cu?O exhibited 11-fold higher NO? (100 ppm) sensing sensitivity as compared to the non-decorated sensing channel, the while the channel device with excessive Pt doping showed complete loss of sensing properties.

A novel ethanol gas sensor based on TiO2/Ag0.35V2O5 branched nanoheterostructures.

Project description:Much greater surface-to-volume ratio of hierarchical nanostructures renders them attract considerable interest as prototypical gas sensors. In this work, a novel resistive gas sensor based on TiO2/Ag0.35V2O5 branched nanoheterostructures is fabricated by a facile one-step synthetic process and the ethanol sensing performance of this device is characterized systematically, which shows faster response/recovery behavior, better selectivity, and higher sensitivity of about 9 times as compared to the pure TiO2 nanofibers. The enhanced sensitivity of the TiO2/Ag0.35V2O5 branched nanoheterostructures should be attributed to the extraordinary branched hierarchical structures and TiO2/Ag0.35V2O5 heterojunctions, which can eventually result in an obvious change of resistance upon ethanol exposure. This study not only indicates the gas sensing mechanism for performance enhancement of branched nanoheterostructures, but also proposes a rational approach to design nanostructure based chemical sensors with desirable performance.

Ethanol Gas Sensing by a Zn-Terminated ZnO(0001) Bulk Single-Crystalline Substrate.

Project description:Metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors have been widely studied for the selective detection of various gases with trace concentrations. The identification of the reaction scheme governing the gas sensing response is crucial for further development; however, the mechanism of ethanol (EtOH) gas sensing by ZnO is still controversial despite being one of the most intensively studied target gas and sensing material combinations. In this work, for the first time, the detailed mechanism of EtOH sensing by ZnO is studied by using a bulk single-crystalline substrate, which has a well-defined stoichiometry and atomic arrangement, as the sensing material. The sensing response is substantial on the ZnO substrate even with a millimeter-size thickness, and it becomes larger with resistance of the substrate. The large sensing response is described in terms of the adsorption/desorption of the oxygen species on the substrate surface, namely, oxygen ionosorption. The valence state of the ionosorbed oxygen involved in EtOH sensing is identified to be O2- regardless of the temperature. The increase in the sensing response with the temperature is attributed to the enhanced oxidation rate of the EtOH molecule on the surface as analyzed by pulsed-jet temperature-programmed desorption mass spectrometry, which has been newly developed for analyzing surface reactions in simulated working conditions.

NO2 Sensing Properties of Cr2WO6 Gas Sensor in Air and N2 Atmospheres.

Project description:Gas sensors were fabricated from Cr2WO6 nanoparticles for NO2 detection. Low dimensional materials Cr2WO6 were prepared by a wet chemistry method followed by hydrothermal treatment. The morphology of the nanoparticles and their sensing properties to NO2 were investigated in both dry and humid conditions. Additionally, the sensing response was also characterized in a non-oxygen condition. It was concluded that the sensor responses in N2 conditions were higher than that in air conditions at 200°C. Moreover, the sensing characteristics were inhibited by water vapor at 200°C. The oxygen adsorption behavior was also investigated to verify the basic sensing mechanism of Cr2WO6 in the absence and presence of NO2 and water vapor separately. Based on the power law response, it was indicated that both NO2 and water vapor have a strong adsorption ability than oxygen ions of Cr2WO6 sensors.

Fe-Doped ZnO/Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite with Synergic Enhanced Gas Sensing Performance for the Effective Detection of Formaldehyde.

Project description:Here, we report the synthesis of Fe-doped ZnO/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposites for gas sensing applications via a one-pot hydrothermal process. A wide range of characterization techniques were used to confirm the successful fabrication of the nanocomposite material and to determine the surface area, the structural and morphological properties, the chemical composition, and the purity of the samples, such as Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques. The gas sensing performance to formaldehyde was studied thoroughly in a temperature-controlled test chamber. Compared to that of the bare ZnO and ZnO/rGO nanocomposites, the as-prepared 5 atom % Fe-doped ZnO/rGO nanocomposites presented significantly enhanced gas sensing performance to formaldehyde at relatively low temperatures. Whereas most formaldehyde sensors operate at 150 °C and can detect as low as 100 ppm concentrations, the presented sensor can detect 5 ppm formaldehyde at 120 °C. Its fast response-recovery time, high stability, and high selectivity make it an ideal sensor; however, it can exhibit degenerative gas sensing performance at elevated relative humidity. The enhanced gas sensing mechanism was explained as the synergic effect of rGO and Fe doping. The results demonstrate that Fe doping and decorating the nanocomposite with rGO are promising approaches for achieving a superior gas sensing performance for the development of ZnO gas sensors for the detection of formaldehyde.
