Abstract In order to meet the requirements of ultra-fast real-time monitoring of sarin simulator with high sensitivity and selectivity, it is of great significance to develop high performance dimethyl methylphonate (DMMP) sensor. Herein, we proposed a DMMP sensor based on p-hexafluoroisopropanol phenyl (HFIPPH) modified self-assembled single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with field effect transistor (FET) structure. The self-assembly method provides a 4 nanometres thick and micron sized SWCNT channel, with high selectivity to DMMP. The proposed SWCNTs-HFIPPH based sensor exhibits remarkably higher response to DMMP than bare SWCNT based gas sensor within only few seconds. The gas sensing response of SWCNTs-HFIPPH based sensor for 1ppm DMMP is 18.2%, and the response time is about 10 seconds. What's more, the gas sensor we proposed here shows excellent selectivity and reproducibility, and the limitation of detection is as low as ppb level. The proposed method lays the foundation for miniaturization and integration of DMMP sensors, expecting to develop detection system for practical sarin sensing application.

The development of functionalized metal oxide/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybrid nanocomposites concerning power equipment failure diagnosis is one of the most recent topics. In this work, WO3 nanolamellae/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposites with different contents of GO (0.5 wt %, 1 wt %, 2 wt %, 4 wt %) were synthesized via controlled hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analyses-derivative thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DTG-DSC), BET, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were utilized to investigate morphological characterizations of prepared gas sensing materials and indicated that high quality WO3 nanolamellae were widely distributed among graphene sheets. Experimental ceramic planar gas sensors composing of interdigitated alumina substrates, Au electrodes, and RuO2 heating layer were coated with WO3 nanolamellae/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) films by spin-coating technique and then tested for gas sensing towards multi-concentrations of acetylene (C2H2) gases in a carrier gas with operating temperature ranging from 50 °C to 400 °C. Among four contents of prepared samples, sensing materials with 1 wt % GO nanocomposite exhibited the best C2H2 sensing performance with lower optimal working temperature (150 °C), higher sensor response (15.0 toward 50 ppm), faster response-recovery time (52 s and 27 s), lower detection limitation (1.3 ppm), long-term stability, and excellent repeatability. The gas sensing mechanism for enhanced sensing performance of nanocomposite is possibly attributed to the formation of p-n heterojunction and the active interaction between WO3 nanolamellae and rGO sheets. Besides, the introduction of rGO nanosheets leads to the impurity of synthesized materials, which creates more defects and promotes larger specific area for gas adsorption, outstanding conductivity, and faster carrier transport. The superior gas sensing properties of WO3/rGO based gas sensor may contribute to the development of a high-performance ppm-level gas sensor for the online monitoring of dissolved C2H2 gas in large-scale transformer oil.

In this paper, the graphene-polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite thin film was prepared by the in situ self-assembly method for the ammonia (NH3) gas sensor application, which was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-vis spectroscopy. The NH3 sensing performance and mechanism of the nanocomposite film were investigated. The results revealed that the sensor based on graphene-polyaniline nanocomposite film exhibited better sensing properties and restorability than those of single graphene film.

Abstract In this paper, MoO3/MoSe2 n-n heterostructure was constructed for fabricating trimethylamine (TMA) gas sensor by an improved hydrothermal and spin-coating method. The surface morphology and microstructure of the prepared materials were analyzed by XRD, XPS, SEM and TEM characterization methods. The microstructural characterization results demonstrated that the MoO3/MoSe2 heterostructure had been successfully synthesized, in which the MoSe2 had a flower-shaped structure, and MoO3 had a rod-shaped structure. At the same time, the MoSe2 surface exhibited periodic honeycomb structure. The gas-sensitivity experimental results showed that the proposed MoO3/MoSe2 sensor had excellent TMA sensing performance at room temperature, including high response capability, low detection limit (20 ppb), short response/recovery time (12 s/19 s), long-term stability, good repeatability and outstanding selectivity. The heterostructure of MoO3/MoSe2 had made outstanding contributions to the enhanced TMA gas sensing performance at room temperature.
