The nano γ-Fe2O3/ZnO double-layer film gas sensor was fabricated by the screen printing technology and the hydrothermal method. XRD and SEM techniques were used to characterize the phases and morphologies of the film. The gas sensing properties of the gas sensor to ethanol were investigated. The result shows that the gas sensitivity of the gas sensor is higher than that of the nano γ-Fe2O3 single-layer film gas sensor and the nano ZnO single-layer film gas sensor. The high gas sensitivity of the nano γ-Fe2O3/ZnO double-layer film to ethanol was caused by the combined effect and nano effect.

The gas sensor with high ethanol gas sensitivity made of nano γ-Fe2O3/ZnO double-layer films was fabricated by the screen printing technology and the hydrothermal process with addition of citric acid (CA) surfactant based on Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and HMTA. XRD and SEM techniques were used to characterize the phases and morphologies of the films. The gas sensing properties of the gas sensor to ethanol were investigated. The result shows that the gas sensitivity of the nano γ-Fe2O3/ZnO double-layer films is higher than that of the nano γ-Fe2O3 single-layer film fabricated by the screen printing technology and the nano ZnO single-layer film fabricated by the hydrothermal process with addition of citric acid (CA) surfactant based on Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and HMTA, respectively. The high ethanol gas sensitivity of the nano γ-Fe2O3/ZnO double-layer films was caused by the nano effect and the special energy band structure

Electro spinning technology combined with chemical precipitation method and high-temperature calcination was used to prepare SnO2-NiO composite semiconductor nanofibers with different Sn content. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) were used to characterize the morphology, structure and content of various elements of the sample. Using ethanol as the target gas, the gas sensing properties of SnO2-NiO nanofibers and the influence of Sn content on the gas sensing properties of composite nanofibers were explored. The research results show that SnO2-NiO composite nanofibers have a three-dimensional network structure, and the SnO2 composite can significantly enhance the gas sensitivity of NiO nanofibers. With increase of SnO2 content, the response sensitivity of composite fibers to ethanol gas increases, and the response sensitivity of composite nanofibers with the highest response to ethanol gas with a volume fraction of 100×10-6 at the optimal working temperature of 160℃ are13.4;It is 8.38 times the maximum response sensitivity of NiO nanofibers. Compared with the common ethanol gas sensor MQ-3 on the market, SnO2-NiO composite nanofibers have a lower optimal working temperature and higher response sensitivity, which has certain practical application value

AbstractRapid NO2 gas sensor has been developed based on PbS nanoparticulate thin films synthesized by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method at different precursor concentrations. The structural and morphological properties were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscope. NO2 gas sensing properties of PbS thin films deposited at different concentrations were tested. PbS film with 0.25 M precursor concentration showed the highest sensitivity. In order to optimize the operating temperature, the sensitivity of the sensor to 50 ppm NO2 gas was measured at different operating temperatures, from 50 to 200 °C. The gas sensitivity increased with an increase in operating temperature and achieved the maximum value at 150 °C, followed by a decrease in sensitivity with further increase of the operating temperature. The sensitivity was about 35 % for 50 ppm NO2 at 150 °C with rapid response time of 6 s. T90 and T10 recovery time was 97 s at this gas concentration.
