Gas Sensing Properties

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

SnO2/In2O3 composite nanofibers were synthesized by using an electrospinning system with double jets, then, treated by oxygen plasma. The morphology and structure of treated composite nanofibers were analyzed by SEM and XRD. The treated composite nanofibers showed more irregular and rough. The porosity of the treated composite nanofibers was bigger than the one of untreated. The gas sensing properties of the composite nanofibers to formaldehyde were measured before and after materials treated by oxygen plasma. The treated composite nanofibers exhibit large response values. Cross-responses and humidity effection of the treated composite nanofibers sensor were tested. The sensing mechanism of the SnO2/In2O3 composite nanofibers gas sensor treated by oxygen plasma was briefly analyzed.

Co Precipitation

SnO2-CuO nanocomposites have been synthesized with the simple co-precipitation method for gas sensing properties. Sn and CuO powder were the starting materials. The synthesized products were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that SnO2-CuO nanocomposites have a tetragonal and monoclinic structure, respectively. SEM images verify that the some microballs are up to 10 µm and nanorods have a diameter range from 10-100 nm, while length ranges a few micrometers. The nanocomposite products were highly sensitivity to CO2gas at room temperature.

Gas Response

Accurate and real-time detection of formaldehyde (HCHO) in indoor air is urgently needed for human health. In this work, a ceramic material (WO3·H2O) with unique structure was successfully prepared using an efficient hydrothermal method. The crystallinity, morphology and microstructure of the as-prepared sensing material were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) as well as transmission electron microscope (TEM). The characterization results suggest that the as-prepared sample is composed of square-like nanoplates with uneven surface. Formaldehyde vapor is utilized as the target gas to investigate gas sensing properties of the synthesized novel nanoplates. The testing results indicate that the as-fabricated gas sensor exhibit high gas response and excellent repeatability to HCHO gas. The response value (Ra/Rg) is 24.5 towards 70 ppm HCHO gas at 350 °C. Besides, the gas sensing mechanism was described.
