Most of the recent reduced graphene oxide (rGO) based sensors shows gas sensitivity above 50o to 150°C. The present investigation deals with the gas sensing at 50°C temperature. In the present research work, thick film sensors of rGO were developed on glass substrate by using standard screen-printing technique. The silver paste of rGO was used to make electrodes for contact on thick films for the electrical and gas sensing system. The electrical properties of rGO thick films such as resistivity, activation energy and temperature coefficient were studied. The resistivity of rGO thick films was found to be 84.84 Ω/m. The morphological, elemental and structural properties of rGO thick films were analyzed by SEM, EDS and XRD techniques respectively. The crystallite size of rGO thick films was found as 28.42 nm by using Scherer’s formula. The rGO thick films were prepared and exposed to Ethanol, NH3, NO2 and LPG gases to determine sensitivity and selectivity. The sensitivity of NO2 has been found to be maximum among other exposed gases. The maximum sensitivity of NO2 gas was 92.55 % at 50 °C found with fast response (~ 11 sec) and recovery (~ 19 sec) time.

AbstractIn this study, we use nitrogen-doped to improving the gas-sensing properties of reduced graphene oxide. Graphene oxide was prepared according to a modified Hummers’ method and then nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) was synthesized by a hydrothermal method using graphene oxide and NH4OH as precursors. The rGO is flat and smooth with a sheet-like morphology while the N-rGO exhibits folded morphology. This type of folding of the surface morphology can increase the gas sensitivity. The N-rGO and the rGO sensors showed n-type and p-type semiconducting behaviors in ambient conditions, respectively, and were responsive to low concentrations of NO gases (< 1000 ppb) at room temperature. The gas-sensing results showed that the N-rGO sensors could detect NO gas at concentrations as low as 400 ppb. The sensitivity of the N-rGO sensor to 1000 ppb NO (1.7) is much better than that of the rGO sensor (0.012). Compared with pure rGO, N-rGO exhibited a higher sensitivity and excellent reproducibility.

Gas sensing is one of the most promising applications for reduced graphene oxide (rGO). High surface-to-volume ratio in conjunction with remaining reactive oxygen functional groups translates into sensitivity to molecular on the rGO surface. The response of the rGO based devices can be further improved by functionalizing its surface with metal nano-materials. In this paper, we report the ammonia (NH3) sensing behavior of rGO based sensors functionalized with nano-structured metal: silver (Ag) or platinum (Pt) or gold (Au) in air at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The gas response is detected by the monitoring changes in electrical resistance of the rGO/metal hybrids due to NH3 gas adsorption. Compared to bare rGO, significantly improved NH3 sensitivity is observed with the addition of nano-structured metals. These materials are applied to play the small bridges role connecting many graphene islands together to improve electrical conduction of hybrids while maintaining the inherent advantage of rGO for NH3 gas sensitivity.

In this study, a nanostructured zinc oxide/reduced graphene oxide (ZnO/rGO) composite was deposited on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) as a toluene gas sensor at room temperature. A series of ZnO, rGO and ZnO/rGO sensing materials was fabricated and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy. There was significant efficiency of the ZnO/rGO composite on the sensing performance for toluene. For specific gas fluxes, the nanostructured ZnO/rGO offered sufficient paths and region for vapor diffusion and adsorption. The sensing test results illustrated that the nanostructured ZnO/rGO composite showed significant enhancement in the frequency shifts (△f) for toluene comparing to pure ZnO and rGO. Also, the ZnO/rGO-coated QCM sensor displayed a fast response (both the response and recovery times < 30 s) and reproducibility for sensing toluene gas at room temperature. We believe that the novel insights on ambient temperature gas sensing on nanostructured ZnO/rGO composite could provide a new strategy for preparing a highly efficient sensing materials.
