Detecting acetone is meaningful in industrial processes and medical fields. Herein, 0D Zn-ZIF/2D Co-ZIF derived 0D ZnO/2D Co3O4 heterostructures are originally designed to improve acetone sensing properties. It is found that when the temperature is 250 °C, the 0D ZnO/2D Co3O4 possesses the highest response (4.73) to 5 ppm acetone, which is about three times more than that of pure 0D ZnO and pure 2D Co3O4. The detection limit of 0D ZnO/2D Co3O4 sensor could be as low as 100 ppb. The response/recovery time of 0D ZnO/2D Co3O4 sensor to 100 ppm acetone is only 3 s/15 s. It is demonstrated that with the introduction of 0D ZnO, the stacking of 2D Co3O4 nanosheets is inhibited and p-n heterojunctions are formed, which could significantly enhance acetone sensing performance.

The Fe2O3 and CoFe2O4 nanoparticle-based Langmuir-Blodgett lms for sensingof nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and acetone vapours have been explored. Both the sensitivity of thechemiresistors and dynamic properties, such as the response/recovery time, have been probed independence of the number of nanoparticle monolayers and working temperatures. The responseof 23 at the NO2 concentration of 1 ppm has been monitored suggesting the pertinent sensitivityin the deep sub-ppm range, i.e. approaching the canine detection limit, and likewise implyingthe supposable detection of nitrate-based explosives.

Owing to their attractive potential in optoelectronic application, luminescent Ru(II) complexes with diamine ligands are harvesting more and more research efforts. These literature efforts, however, are mostly mononuclear ones, with no detailed discussion on the performance comparison between mononuclear and multinuclear Ru(II) complexes. This work synthesized three diamine ligands having two or multiple chelating sites in each ligand, as well as their Ru(II) complexes. The single-crystal structure, electronic structure, and photophysical parameters of these Ru(II) complexes were analyzed and compared. It was found that multinuclear Ru(II) complexes had a pure MLCT (metal-to-ligand charge transfer)–based emissive center, showing longer emission lifetime and higher emission quantum yield, which were desired for oxygen sensing. Then, the oxygen sensing performance of these mononuclear and multinuclear Ru(II) complexes was systematically compared by doping them into polymer fibers via electrospinning method. Improved oxygen sensing performance was observed from binuclear Ru(II)-doped nanofibrous samples, compared with the sensing performance of mononuclear ones, including higher sensitivity, shorter response/recovery time, and better photostability. The causation was attributed to the fact that the emissive state of multinuclear Ru(II) complexes was MLCT-based ones and thus more sensitive to O2 quenching than monocular Ru(II) complexes whose emissive state was a mixture of MLCT and LLCT (ligand-to-ligand charge transfer). In addition, a multinuclear Ru(II) complex had multiple emissive/sensing components, so that its sensing collision probability with O2 was increased, showing better photostability and shorter response/recovery time. The novelty of this work was the linear oxygen sensing curve, which was rarely reported in the previous work.

Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles have been synthesized by a facile two-step hydrothermal method. The structures, morphologies and surface compositions of the materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The test results show that we have prepared higher purity Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles. The gas-sensing properties of pure and Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles on acetone vapor were further investigated. The results obtained show that the response-recovery time of the two samples prepared is relatively short compared to that reported in the current literature. The Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles are significantly more sensitive and selective than the pure WO3 nanoparticles. This may be mainly attributed to the synergy between Au and WO3. It is expected that the Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles thus prepared can also be used for research in other fields.

In this paper gas sensing properties of 0.5–3% polyaniline (PAni) doped SnO 2 thin films sensors prepared by chemical route have been studied towards the trace level detection of NO 2 gas. The structural, optical and surface morphological properties of the PAni doped SnO 2 thin films were investigated by performing X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy measurements. A good correlation has been identified between the microstructural and gas sensing properties of these prepared sensors. Out of these films, 1% PAni doped SnO 2 sensor showed high sensitivity towards NO 2 gas along with a sensitivity of 3.01 × 102 at 40°C for 10 ppm of gas. On exposure to NO 2 gas, resistance of all sensors increased to a large extent, even greater than three orders of magnitude. These changes in resistance upon removal of NO 2 gas are found to be reversible in nature and the prepared composite film sensors showed good sensitivity with relatively faster response/recovery speeds.

Porous nitrogen-doped Ti3C2T[Formula: see text] MXene (N-TCT) with a three-dimensional network structure is synthesized via a simple sacrifice template method and then utilized as an acetone gas sensor. By introducing nitrogen atoms as heteroatoms into Ti3C2T[Formula: see text] nanosheets, some defects generate around the doped nitrogen atoms, which can greatly improve the surface hydrophilicity and adsorption capacity of Ti3C2T[Formula: see text] Mxene nanosheets. It resulted in the enhanced gas sensitivity, achieving a response value of about 36 ([Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] × 100%) and excellent recovery time (9s) at 150[Formula: see text]C. Compared with the pure Ti3C2T[Formula: see text]-based gas sensor (381/92s), the response and recovery time are both obviously improved, and the response value increased by 3.5 times. The gas-sensing mechanism of the porous N-TCT is also discussed in detail. Based on the excellent gas sensitivity of porous N-TCT for highly responsive acetone detection at high temperatures, the strategy of nitrogen-doped two-dimensional nanomaterials can be extended to other nanomaterials to realize their potential applications.

Noble metal additives are widely used to improve the performance of metal oxide gas sensors, most prominently with palladium on tin oxide. Here, we photodeposit different quantities of Pd (0–3 mol%) onto nanostructured SnO2 and determine their effect on sensing acetone, a critical tracer of lipolysis by breath analysis. We focus on understanding the effect of operating temperature on acetone sensing performance (sensitivity and response/recovery times) and its relationship to catalytic oxidation of acetone through a packed bed of such Pd-loaded SnO2. The addition of Pd can either boost or deteriorate the sensing performance, depending on its loading and operating temperature. The sensor performance is optimal at Pd loadings of less than 0.2 mol% and operating temperatures of 200–262.5 °C, where acetone conversion is around 50%.
