Abstract The article analyzes conditions for the occurrence of spinodal decomposition in sol-gel systems based on semiconductor oxide precursors, resulting in labyrinthine structures. Such materials are promising for use in chemoresistive gas sensors with increased sensory response. It is shown that system evolution towards these structures is possible due to sol cooling, or increased its maturation time.

This paper introduces a method for improving the sensitivity to NO2 gas of a p-type metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor. The gas sensor was fabricated using CuO nanowires (NWs) grown through thermal oxidation and decorated with ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) using a sol-gel method. The CuO gas sensor with a ZnO heterojunction exhibited better sensitivity to NO2 gas than the pristine CuO gas sensor. The heterojunction in CuO/ZnO gas sensors caused a decrease in the width of the hole accumulation layer (HAL) and an increase in the initial resistance. The possibility to influence the width of the HAL helped improve the NO2 sensing characteristics of the gas sensor. The growth morphology, atomic composition, and crystal structure of the gas sensors were analyzed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, respectively.

Copper oxides films as promising materials for gas sensors applications were studied. Copper oxide films were deposited onto Si/SiO2substrates using a citrate sol-gel method with the subsequent temperature treatment at 150-5000C. These films were characterized by means of secondary electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray-absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. The prepared films were utilized in NO2sensors. The dependences of the NO2response on the operating temperature and NO2concentration (10-200 ppm) were investigated. The maximum NO2response was achieved for the film annealed at 2500C.

Ti-doped ZnO sol-composite films were prepared on the glass substrate by the two-step sol-gel technique. X-ray diffraction, Uv-Vis spectrophotometer, and FS spectrum of composite films were used to help make structure characterization and optical performance testing. The results showed that the composite was a mixture of ZnO + Zn2TiO4. Because of synergistic effect of both semiconductor oxides, composite films had a wide range of spectral response in the visible region, and the absorption band edge was about 510 nm, and the Green Belt of composite films luminous significantly enhanced. Photocatalytic oxidation experiments showed that using the composite films treatment (16.5 ml, l0 mg/L methyl orange aqueous solution)/cm2, the decolorization rate of methyl-orange was 90% after 3 hours irradiation.

Amorphous titanium dioxide (TiO2) and gold (Au) dopedTiO2-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors have been investigated as hydrogen gas detectors. The nanocrystal-dopedTiO2films were synthesized through a sol-gel route, mixing a Ti-butoxide-based solution with diluted colloidal gold nanoparticles. The films were deposited via spin coating onto64∘YXLiNbO3SAW transducers in a helium atmosphere. The SAW gas sensors were operated at various temperatures between 150 and310∘C. It was found that gold doping onTiO2increased the device sensitivity and reduced the optimum operating temperature.

Different Gases

The various gas sensors were designed for detection of different gases in the air using different oxides and impurities [1-3]. For example the manufacturing of ammonia sensors on the basis of CuxS-micro-porous-Si structure includes manufacture of micro-porous silicon, drawing on it of SiO2 isolating layer, and then the CuxS layer [4, 5]. The special equipment for all these processes is needed. More usable method for sensor production is so-called soft chemistry or sol–gel synthesis [6, 7].
