Fundamentals of doping engineering strategies of metal oxide semiconductors and various charge transfer processes for emerging SERS applications are discussed.


This paper provides a complete idea about metal oxide semiconductors ((MOSs) for gas sensing application. Metal oxide semiconductor nano-materials are showing much higher strength in many industries, research laboratories and public health and so on with their effective chemical, physical, and electronic properties. The morphology, band gap, porosity, conductivity properties, low cost and high surface area etc. are few of the properties of MOSs that are responsible for the enhancement of sensing properties in various applications. Besides these, now-a-days MOSs are grown in different nanostructures like nano rods, nano flowers, nano sheets, nanowires etc. using the various growth techniques which are further responsible for their betterment as gas sensors. Therefore, this paper gives a complete idea about the different methods of synthesis of MOSs.

Since many years, metal oxide semiconductor has paid too much interest as a gas sensing material by researchers because of wide performance. TiO2 is one of the majority crucial metal oxide which produced better performance in thin film development. Advanced spray pyrolysis system was used to develop thin film. The gas sensing characteristics TiO2 films are evaluated with responses. The gas sensing response, electrical characterization and sensitivity are corporate.

AbstractPhoto-electrochemical (PEC) water splitting (WS) using metal oxide semiconductors is regarded as a promising approach for the renewable production of fuels and energy vectors such as hydrogen (H2). Among metal oxide semiconductors, iron oxide in the form of hematite (α-Fe2O3) is one of the most researched photo-anode materials, mainly due to its ability to absorb photons up to 600 nm combined to a set of desirable properties such as high photocorrosion resistance, environmental friendliness, large abundance and relatively low production costs. However, hematite main disadvantages are a low electrical conductivity and a high rate of charge recombination; both these shortcomings drastically limit functionality and efficiency of hematite-based photo-anodes in PEC devices. One-dimensional (1D) nanostructuring is a powerful tool to tackle such disadvantages as it provides the photoelectrode material with increased surface area along with directional charge transport properties and short charge diffusion distances to the electrolyte – these features can improve the lifetime of photo-generated charges and/or enhance the charge transfer efficiency, and can consequently lead to a superior photo-electrochemical performance. At the same time, chemical/physical modification can also compensate natural weaknesses of hematite in water photoelectolysis. The present mini-review outlines a series of most effective strategies for the fabrication of 1D hematite nanostructures as well as for their physicochemical modification, mainly by doping or co-catalyst decoration, to achieve superior PEC activity.

Gas distribution modelling can provide potentially life-saving information when assessing the hazards of gaseous emissions and for localization of explosives, toxic or flammable chemicals. In this work, we deployed a three-dimensional (3D) grid of metal oxide semiconductor (MOX) gas sensors deployed in an office room, which allows for novel insights about the complex patterns of indoor gas dispersal. 12 independent experiments were carried out to better understand dispersion patters of a single gas source placed at different locations of the room, including variations in height, release rate and air flow profiles. This dataset is denser and richer than what is currently available, i.e., 2D datasets in wind tunnels. We make it publicly available to enable the community to develop, validate, and compare new approaches related to gas sensing in complex environments.

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensors are of continuous development interest to researchers due to their sensitivity, short detection time, and reliability. Among the most used materials to achieve the sensitive film of SAW sensors are metal oxide semiconductors, which are highlighted by thermal and chemical stability, by the presence on their surface of free electrons and also by the possibility of being used in different morphologies. For different types of gases, certain metal oxide semiconductors are used, and ZnO is an important representative for this category of materials in the field of sensors. Having a great potential for the development of SAW sensors, the discussion related to the development of the sensitivity of metal oxide semiconductors, especially ZnO, by the synthesis method or by obtaining new materials, is suitable and necessary to have an overview of the latest results in this domain.
