Sensing Characteristics

Semiconductor metal oxides (SMOxs) are widely used in gas sensors due to their excellent sensing properties, abundance, and ease of manufacture. The best examples of these sensing materials are SnO2 and TiO2 that have wide band gap and offer unique set of functional properties; the most important of which are electrical conductivity and high surface reactivity. There has been a constant development of SMOx sensor materials in the literature that has been accompanied by the improvement of their gas-sensitive properties for the gas detection. This review is dedicated to compiling of these efforts in order to mark the achievements in this area. The main material-specific aspects that strongly affect the gas sensing properties and can be controlled by the synthesis method are morphology/nanostructuring and dopants to vary crystallographic structure of MOx sensing material.

The gas sensing properties of two novel series of Mg-incorporated metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), termed Mg-MOFs-I and -II, were assessed. The synthesized iso-reticular type Mg-MOFs exhibited good crystallinity, high thermal stability, needle-shape morphology and high surface area (up to 2900 m2·g−1), which are promising for gas sensing applications. Gas-sensing studies of gas sensors fabricated from Mg-MOFs-II revealed better sensing performance, in terms of the sensor dynamics and sensor response, at an optimal operating temperature of 200 °C. The MOF gas sensor with a larger pore size and volume showed shorter response and recovery times, demonstrating the importance of the pore size and volume on the kinetic properties of MOF-based gas sensors. The gas-sensing results obtained in this study highlight the potential of Mg-MOFs gas sensors for the practical monitoring of toxic gases in a range of environments.

The gas-sensing properties of zinc doped lanthanum ferrite (Zn-LaFeO3) compounds for formaldehyde were investigated in this paper. Zn-LaFeO3 powders were prepared using sol-gel method combined with microwave chemical synthesis. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The formaldehyde gas-sensing characteristics for the sample were examined. The experimental results indicate that the sensor based on the sample Zn-LaFeO3 shows excellent gas-sensing properties to formaldehyde gas. At the optimal operating temperature of 250°C, the sensitivity of the sensor based on LaFe0.7Zn0.3O3 to 100ppm formaldehyde is 38, while to other test gases, the sensitivity is all lower than 20. The response and recovery times for the sample to formaldehyde gas are 100s and 100s, respectively.

Zinc Oxides

Hybrid materials made of wide band gap semiconductors and dye molecules are largely studied mainly for photovoltaic applications. However, these materials also show interesting chemical sensitivity. Zinc oxides (ZnO) and porphyrins are good examples of a metal oxide semiconductor and a dye molecule that give rise to a hybrid material with such interesting properties. ZnO has been studied for sensors, optoelectronics, electronic devices, photo-anodes for dye-sensitized solar cells, and for mechanical energy harvesting. Porphyrins, on the other side, can be synthesized in order to mimic their roles in living systems such as oxygen transport and charge transfer for catalytic processes in animals and photosynthesis in plants. This paper provides a review of the chemical sensing properties of porphyrin-capped ZnO nanostructures. The methodologies to functionalize the ZnO surface with porphyrins are illustrated with emphasis on the relationships between the material preparation and its sensing properties. The development of sensors is described through the application of the hybrid materials to different transducers.

First Time

Taking the wide band gap one-dimensional (1-D) tungsten oxide nanowires as an example, we here demonstrate systematically the physical characteristics of thermally processed nanowires at temperatures ranging from 400°C to 1000°C, for the first time. Accompanied by a significant drop of specific surface area from 151 m2/g for the as-prepared nanowires to 109 m2/g and 66 m2/g subject to annealing at 400°C and 450°C, dramatically morphology evolution and phase transformation have also been observed. The nanostructured bundles became straighter, larger in diameters and shorter in length, and eventually became irregular particles with size up to 5 µm. The Brunauer-Emmett-Tettler (BET) result suggests that 400°C can be considered as a top temperature limit in nanodevice design where high surface area is important, e.g. in gas sensors. A protocol for thermally processing of these bundled tungsten nanowires has been established.

Interfacial Compatibility

ZnO nanospheres were prepared by hydrothermal method using CTAB as protecting ligands. The purified ZnO nanospheres were functionalized using 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane (APTMS) and made into core-shell nanostructures with in-situ reduction of Ag+ into silver nanoclusters. ZnO nanospheres act as the core while silver nanoclusters act as shell material resulting in the formation of ZnO@Ag core-shell nanostructures. The precursor ZnO nanospheres and ZnO@Ag core-shell nanostructures were well characterised structurally by UV-Visible, FT-IR, XRD, and TGA and morphologically by SEM and HR-TEM. The analysis confirms that Ag nanoclusters are attached to ZnO nanospheres with uniform distribution. The induced surface area of these hybrid core-shell structures with isolated nanoclusters on ZnO surface pointed towards the possibility of having better sensitivity as an excellent gas sensing material. The present investigation provided an easy synthetic platform for obtaining high surface area core-shell nanostructures which enhances interfacial compatibility between metal oxide core and metal shell by suitable functionalization for generating better gas sensing materials.
