UV-Enhanced Room Temperature Ozone Sensor Based on Hierarchical SnO2-In2O3

SnO₂-In₂O₃ hierarchical microspheres were prepared by the hydrothermal and solvothermal method. The morphology, phase crystallinity of the obtained SnO₂-In₂O₃ were measured by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scan electron microscopy(SEM), respectively. A room temperature ozone sensor based on SnO₂-In₂O₃ hierarchical microspheres was fabricated and investigated. The gas sensing properties of the sensor using SnO₂-In₂O₃ strongly depended on the proportion of SnO₂ and In₂O₃. The sensitivity and response/recovery speed were greatly enhanced by UV illumination. A gas sensing mechanism related to oxygen defect was suggested.     

One-step Synthesis and Gas Sensing Properties of Hierarchical SnO2 Materials

Hierarchical tin oxide(SnO₂) architectures were synthesized with a facile hydrothermal method. In the hydrothermal synthesis, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate(SDBS) surfactant plays an important role as structure-directing reagent. The synthesized samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM). The results clearly reveal that the hierarchical architectures of SnO₂ were composed of aggregated nanosheets with a thickness of about 100 nm. A possible mechanism for the formation of the SnO₂ hierarchical architectures was proposed. In addition, the gas sensing properties of the as-prepared products were investigated and it was found that the sensor based on the special SnO₂ hierarchical architectures exhibited a high response and good selectivity to NO₂ at the optimal working temperature of 160 ℃.     

Synthesis and Characterization of SnO2-TiO2 Nanocomposite with Rutile-phase via Hydrothermal Method at Low Temperature

With Ti(SO₄)₂, SnCl₄·5H₂O and urea as raw materials, SnO₂-TiO₂ nanocomposites were synthesized via low temperature hydrothermal method at 80―100 ℃ in aqueous solutions. The morphologies of the products were altered systematically by varying the Ti/Sn molar ratio of the reactants, and rutile-phase particles were obtained with an average diameter of about 52.2 nm at a molar ratio of Ti/Sn=7.5. The surface composition of the composite was revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) to be solely TiO₂ with a rutile structure. This new composite material exhibits a high ultraviolet absorption capacity, and its photocatalytic activity for phenol oxidation is much lower than that of the commercial titania nanoparticles(P25).     

Interaction of antitumor drug Sn(CH3)2Cl2 with DNA and RNA

Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂ exerts its antitumor activity in a specific way. Unlike anticancer cis-Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂ drug which binds strongly to the nitrogen atoms of DNA bases, Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂ shows no major affinity towards base binding. Thus, the mechanism of action by which tinorganometallic compounds exert antitumor activity would be different from that of the cisplatin drug. The aim of this study was to examine the binding of Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂ with calf thymus DNA and yeast RNA in aqueous solutions at pH 7.1–6.6 with constant concentrations of DNA and RNA and various molar ratios of Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂/DNA (phosphate) and Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂/RNA of 1/40, 1/20, 1/10, 1/5. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and UV–visible difference spectroscopic methods were used to determine the Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂ binding mode, binding constant, sequence selectivity and structural variations of Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂/DNA and Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂/RNA complexes in aqueous solution. Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂ hydrolyzes in water to give Sn(CH₃)₂(OH)₂ and [Sn(CH₃)₂(OH)(H₂O)_n]⁺ species. Spectroscopic evidence showed that interaction occurred mainly through (CH₃)₂Sn(IV) hydroxide and polynucleotide backbone phosphate group with overall binding constant of K(Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂–DNA)=1.47×10⁵ M⁻¹ and K(Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂–RNA)=7.33×10⁵ M⁻¹. Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂ induced no biopolymer conformational changes with DNA remaining in the B-family structure and RNA in A-conformation upon drug complexation.     

Crystal structure and chemical bonding in tin(II) acetate

Tin(II) acetate was prepared and its crystal structure was solved from X-ray powder diffraction data. Tin(II) acetate adopts a polymeric structure consisting of infinite Sn(CH₃COO)₂ chains running along the c-axis which are packed into groups of four. The acetate groups bridge the Sn atoms along the chains. The Sn atoms are asymmetrically surrounded by four oxygen atoms with two short Sn–O distances (2.170(6), 2.207(6) Å) and two longer ones (2.293(7), 2.372(8) Å). The coordination environment of the Sn atoms is completed up to a strongly distorted trigonal bipyramid SnO₄E by the sterically active lone electron pair E. The coordination environment of the Sn atoms is virtually identical for Sn(CH₃COO)₂ in the gaseous and solid phase: the two short Sn–O bonds and the lone electron pair are located in the equatorial plane of the trigonal bipyramid and the two longer Sn–O bonds are directed towards the apical vertexes. Localization of the lone electron pair on Sn(II) was confirmed by electron localization function (ELF) analysis. The polymeric nature of the tin(II) acetate crystal structure was confirmed by a MALDI-TOF experiment.     

Bi2Sn2O7 nanoparticles attached to SnO2 nanowires and used as catalysts

We introduce a simple method of synthesizing SnO₂ nanowire-Bi₂Sn₂O₇ nanoparticle composites based on the principle that SnO₂ nanowires can be grown by using Bi as catalysts. A mixture of Bi and Sn powders was thermally evaporated, and the effects of growth temperature on the morphology and structure of the products were investigated. We obtained Bi₂Sn₂O₇-tipped SnO₂ nanowires at 700 °C through a vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) process, whereas particle-free SnO₂ nanowires were produced at higher temperatures. We have investigated the oxygen sensing properties of the as-synthesized product.     

Studies on QCM-type NO2 Gas Sensor Based on Graphene Composites at Room Temperature

Synthetic graphene composite was modified on a transducer of quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) to fabricate a gas sensor for low concentration nitrogen dioxide(NO₂) detection. The gas sensing properties of the QCM coated with SnO₂-rGO and AgNPs-SnO₂-rGO composites were investigated when exposing QCM to low NO₂ con-centration(2.05-20.5 mg/m³) atmosphere at room temperature. The sensing performances of the QCM with AgNPs-SnO₂-rGO composites were enhanced by the introduction of Ag nanoparticles, and the QCM modified with AgNPs-SnO₂-rGO composites could detect NO₂ at room temperature.     

The gas sensing properties of TiO_2 nanotubes synthesized by hydrothermal method

In this paper,the TiO₂ nanotubes were synthesized by hydrothermal method using a 10 mol/L NaOH aqueous solution at 150℃. The structure of prepared materials was characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）,transmission electron microscopy（TEM）. scanning electron microscope（SEM） and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller（BET）.The prepared TiO₂ nanotubes were used to prepare thick film gas sensors and the gas sensing properties to various gases were tested.Results show the prepared TiO₂ nanotube gas sensors responses to ethanol under dry condition at 450℃.This could be attributed to the fact that it had high porous morphology and a higher pore volume,which can promote the diffusion of ethanol deep inside the films and improve the sensor response. Moreover,the gas sensor made with nanotubes exhibit high selective response towards ethanol gas compared with H₂,CO,acetone.

Metal-organic framework as a multi-component sensor for detection of Fe3+, ascorbic acid and acid phosphatase

In this research,a hydroxyl group functionalized metal-organic framework(MOF),UiO-66-(OH)₂,was synthesized as a "on-off-on" fluore scent switching nanoprobe for highly sensitive and selective detection of Fe³⁺,ascorbic acid(AA) and acid phosphatase(ACP).UiO-66-(OH)₂ emits yellow-green light under ultraviolet light,when Fe³⁺ was added,Fe³⁺ was chelated with hydroxyl group,the electrons in the excited state S_1 of the MOF transferred to the half-filled 3 d orbits of Fe³⁺,resulting in fluorescence quenching because of the nonradiative electron/hole recombination annihilation.AA could reduce Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺,which can destroy the electron transfer between UiO-66-(OH)₂ and Fe³⁺ after AA adding,resulted in nonoccurrence of the nonradiative electron transfer,leading to the recovery of UiO-66-(OH)₂ fluorescence intensity.The probe can also be used to detect ACP based on the enzymolysis of 2-phospho-L-ascorbic acid(AAP) to produce AA.Benefitting from the hydroxyl group and the characteristics of UiO-66,including the high porosity and large surface area,the developed UiO-66-(OH)₂ showed extensive advantages as a fluorescent probe for detection of multi-component,such as high sensitivity and selectivity,colorimetric detection,fast response kinetics and easy to operate,economical and secure.This is the first time to use active group functionalized MOFs as a multicomponent sensor for these three substances detection.     

Water–oxygen interplay on tin dioxide surface: Implication on gas sensing

Resistance measurements and direct spectroscopic investigations were used to monitor the surface reaction path between oxygen and water at the surface of SnO₂. The experiments were carried out at high sensor operation temperature (330 and 400 °C) and at a constant background of water vapour. We found that there is a significant interaction between adsorbed oxygen ions and water vapour, which results in formation of terminal hydroxyl groups on tin dioxide surface. This observation is an evidence of water–oxygen interaction and so brings a new insight to the mechanistic modelling of the sensing with tin dioxide based sensors.     

Label-free Detection of Biotin Using Nanoporous TiO2/DNA Thin-film Coated Wavelength Interrogated Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensors

The sensing sensitivity of the wavelength interrogated surface plasmon resonance（WISPR） biosensor could be improved by self-assembly of nanoporous thin-film of TiO2 nanoparticles/DNA（TiO2/DNA）n（n is the number of bilayer） on wavelength interrogated surface plasmon resonance（WISPR） chips.The growth behavior and surface structure of the nanoporous thin-film were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy,respectively.The home-made WISPR sensor with Krestchmann configuration consisted of a tungsten-halogen lamp as a photon source and a CCD camera as the detector.After the deposition of （DNA/TiO2）n thin film on WISPR chips,the resonance peak of the reflection spectra appeared in air.With the increases of n,the resonance wavelength gradually red shifted,which is consistent with the simulated results.After the optimization of the porous film,the WISPR biosensor was utilized to detect low-molecular-weight analytes,such as biotin.The result demonstrates that the sensitivity of [poly（styrene sulfonate）/polyally lamine hydrochlorides]5（PSS/PAH）5 could be 4 times higher than that of polyelectrolyte multilayer modified WISPR sensor.

The surface and materials science of tin oxide

The study of tin oxide is motivated by its applications as a solid state gas sensor material, oxidation catalyst, and transparent conductor. This review describes the physical and chemical properties that make tin oxide a suitable material for these purposes. The emphasis is on surface science studies of single crystal surfaces, but selected studies on powder and polycrystalline films are also incorporated in order to provide connecting points between surface science studies with the broader field of materials science of tin oxide. The key for understanding many aspects of SnO₂ surface properties is the dual valency of Sn. The dual valency facilitates a reversible transformation of the surface composition from stoichiometric surfaces with Sn⁴⁺ surface cations into a reduced surface with Sn²⁺ surface cations depending on the oxygen chemical potential of the system. Reduction of the surface modifies the surface electronic structure by formation of Sn 5s derived surface states that lie deep within the band gap and also cause a lowering of the work function. The gas sensing mechanism appears, however, only to be indirectly influenced by the surface composition of SnO₂. Critical for triggering a gas response are not the lattice oxygen concentration but chemisorbed (or ionosorbed) oxygen and other molecules with a net electric charge. Band bending induced by charged molecules cause the increase or decrease in surface conductivity responsible for the gas response signal. In most applications tin oxide is modified by additives to either increase the charge carrier concentration by donor atoms, or to increase the gas sensitivity or the catalytic activity by metal additives. Some of the basic concepts by which additives modify the gas sensing and catalytic properties of SnO₂ are discussed and the few surface science studies of doped SnO₂ are reviewed. Epitaxial SnO₂ films may facilitate the surface science studies of doped films in the future. To this end film growth on titania, alumina, and Pt(1 1 1) is reviewed. Thin films on alumina also make promising test systems for probing gas sensing behavior. Molecular adsorption and reaction studies on SnO₂ surfaces have been hampered by the challenges of preparing well-characterized surfaces. Nevertheless some experimental and theoretical studies have been performed and are reviewed. Of particular interest in these studies was the influence of the surface composition on its chemical properties. Finally, the variety of recently synthesized tin oxide nanoscopic materials is summarized.
