Humidity sensing characteristics of Sn doped Zinc oxide based quartz crystal microbalance sensors

The electrical, optical and humidity sensor properties of nanostructured ZnO samples were investigated. The structural properties of Sn doped ZnO samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. It was found that the all samples have a hexagonal crystal structure. The electrical conductivity of the samples indicates that undoped and Sn doped ZnO samples exhibit the semiconducting behavior. The optical absorption method was used to determine the optical band gaps of the samples. The optical band gap and activation energy values of the ZnO samples were changed with Sn doping. The ZnO based on quartz crystal microbalance humidity sensors were prepared and sensing properties of the sensors were changed with Sn doping. The response time required to reach 70 % is about 13–16 s, while the recovery time from 70 to 30 % RH is about 13–15 s. The fast response of the sensors is due to easy diffusion of water molecules between ZnO nanopowders. The prepared sensors have a high reproducibility and sensitivity for humidity sensing applications.     

Detection of chlorinated methanes by tin oxide gas sensors

Tin oxide thin films prepared by thermal oxidation of Sn films were used for the detection of chlorinated methanes (CH2Cl2, CHCl3 and CCl4). This resulted in better chemical selectivity, sensitivity, response speed and detection limit than seen with previous detectors. The temperature dependence of the sensing of 1% CCl4 gas was studied and the best sensing behavior was observed at 300 degrees C. The films showed different chemical selectivity in both speed and direction of sensing response to each gas and were stable for more than 3 weeks under operating conditions. The films showed rapid gas sensing (<40 s to reach 90% of full response) and low detection limits (< 4 ppm CCl4). The role of oxygen in the detection of chlorinated methanes and in resistance changes without chlorinated methanes was also studied. The changes at the surface of the film after gas sensing were examined using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry.     

Ethanol Gas Sensor Based on γ-Fe2O3 Nanoparticles Working at Room Temperature with High Sensitivity

Improving the sensing sensitivity and lowering the working temperature are the critical issues for the practical application of gas sensors. For a gas sensor, the sensing materials play important roles in determining the sensing properties. In the present work, γ-Fe₂O₃ microspheres composed of nanoparticles were successfully fabricated by a typical facile hydrothermal process and a following annealing treatment. Interestingly, the as-synthesized γ-Fe₂O₃ microspheres showed excellent sensing properties for the detection of ethanol gas with high sensitivity, and especially working temperature as low as room temperature. The gas sensing results showed that at the optimal operating temperature (200 °C), the response intensity of γ-Fe₂O₃ microspheres for 1000 ppm ethanol gas could reach 74.6 and the limit of detection (LOD) was about 0.026 ppm. At room temperature, the γ-Fe₂O₃ microspheres still demonstrated a good response to different concentrations of ethanol gas from 1 to 1000 ppm, with a very good selectivity over other gas species and a good stability. This study indicated that the γ-Fe₂O₃ phase could be a type of promising room-temperature gas sensing material for ethanol gas detection.

Study of ionic liquid immobilization on polyvinyl ferrocene substrates for gas sensor arrays

In this report, the effects of conductive polymer oxidation states and structures on the design and development of ionic liquid (IL)/conductive polymer (CP) composite films for gas sensing are systematically characterized. Four different polyvinyl ferrocene (PVF) films synthesized by varying the conditioning potential (0.7 vs 0.0 V) and the electrolyte are tested for their gas-sensing properties (e.g., sensitivity, selectivity, response time, linearity, and dynamic range against various gas analytes such as dichloromethane, ethanol, natural gas, methane, formaldehyde (37%), and benzene) utilizing the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and ATR-FT-IR. The best available film is further studied as a substrate for the immobilization of various ILs that enhanced both the sensitivity and selectivity. Finally, two arrays, each comprising four sensors with the following scheme are developed and characterized for their ability to classify the four target analytes by using linear discriminant analysis: (1) the highest sensitivity PVF film immobilized with four different ILs and (2) the highest sensitivity IL immobilized in four different PVF films. Array 2 is proven to be much better than array 1 in discriminating the analytes, which is very significant in establishing the fact that a diverse set of PVF redox states allow the rational development of a PVF/IL composite-based sensor array in order to analyze complex mixtures utilizing structural differences and the extent of intermolecular interactions.     

High ethanol sensitivity of Palladium/TiO2 nanobelt surface heterostructures dominated by enlarged surface area and nano-Schottky junctions

TiO₂ nanobelts were prepared by the hydrothermal growth method. The surface of the nanobelts was coarsened by selective acid corrosion and functionalized with Pd catalyst particles. Three nanobelt samples (TiO₂ nanobelts, surface-coarsened TiO₂ nanobelts and Pd nanoparticle/TiO₂ nanobelt surface heterostructures) were configured as gas sensors and their sensing ability was measured. Both the surface-coarsened nanobelts and the Pd nanoparticle-decorated TiO₂ nanobelts exhibited dramatically improved sensitivity to ethanol vapor. Pd nanoparticle-decorated TiO₂ nanobelts with surface heterostructures exhibited the best sensitivity, selectivity, working temperature, response/recovery time, and reproducibility. The excellent ethanol sensing performance is attributed to the large surface area and enhancement by Schottky barrier-type junctions between the Pd nanoparticles and TiO₂ nanobelts.
