基于Co3O4修饰SnO2纳米纤维的高响应和高选择性乙醇气体传感器

SnO₂ nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning and modified with Co₃O₄ via impregnation in this work. Chemical composition and morphology of the nanofibers were systematically characterized, and their gas sensing properties were investigated. Results showed that Co₃O₄ modification significantly enhanced the sensing performance of SnO₂ nanofibers to ethanol gas. For a sample with 1.2 mol% Co₃O₄, the response to 100 ppm ethanol was 38.0 at 300℃, about 6.7 times larger than that of SnO₂ nanofibers. In addition, the response/recovery time was also greatly reduced. A power-law dependence of the sensor response on the ethanol concentration as well as excellent ethanol selectivity was observed for the Co₃O₄/SnO₂ sensor. The enhanced ethanol sensing performance may be attributed to the formation of p-n heterojunctions between the two oxides.

ZnO-Fe3O4 composite prepared by sol-gel method with H2 deoxidation

Fe doped ZnO powder samples (Fe/Zn=0.05 and 0.1) were prepared by sol-gel method with H₂ deoxidation at 450 ^°C for several hours or just heated in air at the same temperature. It was showed by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) that samples heat treated in H₂ could show strong ferromagnetism at room temperature while samples treated in air only show very weak magnetism. XRD using Co kα X-ray revealed that the samples heated in H₂ were not pure phase but like a granular system and the magnetism mainly results from Fe₃O₄ in samples while samples heated in air showed pure ZnO phase. Our work indicated that H₂ deoxidation treatment may be an effective technique to fabricate such magnetic semiconductor-like materials with Curie temperature higher than room temperature.     

Co3O4-ZnO hierarchical nanostructures by electrospinning and hydrothermal methods

A new hierarchical nanostructure that consists of cobalt oxide (Co₃O₄) and zinc oxide (ZnO) was produced by the electrospinning process followed by a hydrothermal technique. First, electrospinning of a colloidal solution that consisted of zinc nanoparticles, cobalt acetate tetrahydrate and poly(vinyl alcohol) was performed to produce polymeric nanofibers embedding solid nanoparticles. Calcination of the obtained electrospun nanofiber mats in air at 600 °C for 1 h, produced Co₃O₄ nanofibers with rough surfaces containing ZnO nanoparticles (i.e., ZnO-doped Co₃O₄ nanofibers). The rough surfaced nanofibers, containing ZnO nanoparticles (ZnNPs), were then exploited as seeds to produce ZnO nanobranches using a specific hydrothermal technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed to characterize the as-spun nanofibers and the calcined product. X-ray powder diffractometery (XRD) analysis was used to study the chemical composition and the crystallographic structure.     

Birth of room‐temperature magnons and Raman line enhancement in ZnO nanostructures containing cobalt oxide

Cobalt (Co) addition and thermal annealing induced structural and vibrational properties of ZnO nanostructures were analysed. X‐ray diffraction pattern reveals that the nanostructures are in hexagonal wurtzite type and the formation of Co₃O₄. The Co ion induced morphology changes have been studied by high‐resolution scanning electron microscope images and energy dispersive spectroscopy measurements confirm the presence of Co ions. CoO‐related magnon excitation bands are emerged at room temperature for the Co‐added samples. There are no changes in the band positions of the Raman spectra of pure and Co‐added materials. Annealed sample exhibits the suppression of magnon bands and formation of Co₃O₄: ZnO composites. Raman line width and the electron phonon coupling constant are decreased with respect to the annealing temperature. The formation of Co₃O₄ : ZnO composite phases have further confirmed by infrared spectra. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Novel ultraviolet photoluminescence of ZnO/ZnGa2O4 composite layers

ZnO/ZnGa₂O₄ composite layers were synthesized by simple thermal oxidation of ZnS substrates with gallium in the air. The continuous-wave and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements for the composites were performed at room temperature. It is found that the visible deep level emission from ZnO in ZnO/ZnGa₂O₄ composite layer was almost suppressed. In addition, the UV emission with long lifetime was also observed in comparison with that of pure ZnO layer without ZnGa₂O₄.

Dopant distribution, oxygen stoichiometry and magnetism of nanoscale Sn0.99Co0.01O2

In recent work, we have shown that chemically synthesized Sn_1−xCo_xO₂ nanoscale powders with x≤0.01 are ferromagnetic at room temperature when prepared by annealing the reaction precipitate in the narrow temperature window of 350-600 ^°C. Combined high resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (on as-prepared and Ar⁺ ion sputtered samples), x-ray diffraction and magnetometry measurements showed that the Co distribution is more uniform throughout the individual Sn_0.99Co_0.01O₂ particles when prepared at lower annealing temperatures of 350-600 ^°C and this uniform dopant distribution is essential to produce stable high temperature ferromagnetism. However, surface segregation of the dopant atoms in samples annealed at >600 ^°C destroys the room-temperature ferromagnetic behavior and reduces the Curie temperature to <300 K.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and gas sensing properties of?single-crystalline ultralong ZnO nanowires

Ultralong ZnO nanowires were successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal reaction of Zn foil and aqueous Na₂C₂O₄ solution at 140°C. The as-synthesized ZnO nanowires are single crystalline with the wurtzite structure and grow in the [0001] direction. The role of Na₂C₂O₄ in the formation of ultralong ZnO nanowires was investigated, and a possible mechanism was also proposed to account for the formation of the ultralong ZnO nanowires. The gas sensor fabricated on the basis of the ultralong ZnO nanowires showed excellent response characteristics towards NH₃ and N(C₂H₅)₃ vapors with low concentration, and its detection limits for NH₃ and N(C₂H₅)₃ are about 0.2 and 0.15 ppm at the working temperature of 180°C, respectively. This result suggests potential applications of the ultralong ZnO nanowires in monitoring flammable, toxic and corrosive gases.     

Synthesis of urchin-like Co3O4 hierarchical micro/nanostructures and their photocatalytic activity

Urchin-like Co₃O₄ hierarchical micro/nanostructures have been successfully synthesized by calcining urchin-like precursor CoCO₃, which are prepared by a facile hydrothermal route. The particle size of the urchin-like Co₃O₄ could be easily controlled by altering the calcination temperature. The morphology and structure of the as-prepared urchin-like products were characterized by XRD, FESEM and TEM. Photocatalytic measurement demonstrates that these urchin-like Co₃O₄ micro/nanostructures show good photocatalytic effect and their degradation efficiency is strongly dependent on their particle size. Furthermore, a plausible reaction mechanism is also proposed to illustrate the photocatalytic processes of Co₃O₄.     

Facile synthesis and optical properties of Co3O4 nanostructures by the microwave route

Cobalt oxide (Co₃O₄) nanoplatelet shape like nanostructures have been successfully synthesized through a simple microwave route for the first time using cobalt acetate, NaOH and citric acid at 200 °C for 30 min. The structure and morphology of as-prepared Co₃O₄ nanoplatelets are characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). XRD measurements indicate that the product has a perfect crystalline cubic phase of Co₃O₄ with a lattice constant a=8.082 Å. The SEM images show that the obtained Co₃O₄ nanopowder consists of nanoplatelets with diameter 125 nm and thickness 20 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) show that the composition of Co₃O₄ is stoichiometric. Room temperature photoluminescence measurement is exhibited by a strong UV emission and a suppressed green emission, confirming the good optical properties for the as-prepared Co₃O₄ nanoplatelets.
