Abstract: In this paper, Polyepichlorohyron(PECH)/multi-wall carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs) composite films and PECH/multi-wall carbon nanotubes twolayer film were deposited on interdigitated electrodes by airbrush technology to detect ethanol vapor of various concentrations at room temperature. Thickness and structure of the film were taken into account, so films of different thicknesses and with different structures were prepared respectively. The responses of the sensors to ethanol showed that composite film had a higher response thantwolayer film, and the thick composite film performed better than its counterpart when they were exposed to ethanol vapor.

The low dielectric constant of the nonpolar polymer poly(1-butene) (PB-1) limits its application as a diaphragm element in energy storage capacitors. In this work, Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3-coated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (BZT@MWCNTs) were first prepared by using the sol–gel hydrothermal method and then modified with polydopamine (PDA) via noncovalent polymerization. Finally, PB-1 matrix composite films filled with PDA-modified BZT@MWCNTs nanoparticles were fabricated through a solution-casting method. Results indicated that the PDA-modified BZT@MWCNTs had good dispersion and binding force in the PB-1 matrix. These characteristics improved the dielectric and energy storage performances of the films. Specifically, the PDA-modified 10 vol% BZT@ 0.5 vol% MWCNTs/PB-1 composite film exhibited the best dielectric performance. At 1 kHz, the dielectric constant of this film was 25.43, which was 12.7 times that of pure PB-1 films. Moreover, its dielectric loss was 0.0077. Furthermore, under the weak electric field of 210 MV·m−1, the highest energy density of the PDA-modified 10 vol% BZT@ 0.5 vol% MWCNTs/PB-1 composite film was 4.57 J·cm−3, which was over 3.5 times that of PB-1 film (≈1.3 J·cm−3 at 388 MV·m−1).

In this study, zinc complex bunches have been synthesized by a simple solvent exchange approach without any surfactant at room temperature. The zinc complex can be converted to C-doped ZnO bunches by a subsequent annealed process at 500∘C for 2[Formula: see text]h. The morphology and structure results show that the rectangle-shaped ZnO bunches are assembled by ZnO disks. The as-prepared C-doped ZnO bunches exhibit the highest sensitivity to 100[Formula: see text]ppm ethanol vapor at 240∘C. In addition the C-doped ZnO bunches also show excellent response-recover properties and stability, and good linearity in the range of 5–400[Formula: see text]ppm for potential applications.
