Effect of GNWs/NiO-WO3/GNWs Heterostructure for NO2 Gas Sensing at Room Temperature

Recently, as air pollution and particulate matter worsen, the importance of a platform that can monitor the air environment is emerging. Especially, among air pollutants, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a toxic gas that can not only generate secondary particulate matter, but can also derive numerous toxic gases. To detect such NO2 gas at low concentration, we fabricated a GNWs/NiO-WO3/GNWs heterostructure-based gas sensor using microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) and sputter, and we confirmed the NO2 detection characteristics between 10 and 50 ppm at room temperature. The morphology and carbon lattice characteristics of the sensing layer were investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Raman spectroscopy. In the gas detection measurement, the resistance negative change according to the NO2 gas concentration was recorded. Moreover, it reacted even at low concentrations such as 5–7 ppm, and showed excellent recovery characteristics of more than 98%. Furthermore, it also showed a change in which the reactivity decreased with respect to humidity of 33% and 66%.

Mixed-dimensional organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites (OIMHP) based gas sensors with superior stability for NO2 detection

Organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite (OIMHP) materials have been intensively investigated for optoelectronic applications, especially in solar cells. Here, we investigate OIMHP materials for gas sensor application to detect NO2 gas,...
