[Method] Based on the application characteristics of Wireless Sensor Network （WSN）, the intelligent greenhouse monitoring system was designed. And for the incompleteness strategy of load balancing in the Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy （LEACH）, a Real- time Threshold Routing Algorithm （RTRA） was proposed. [Result] The performance of network lifetime and network delay of RTRA were tested in MATLAB and found that, within the same testing environment, RTRA can save nodes energy consumption, prolong network lifetime, and had better real-time performance than LEACH. The al- gorithm satisfies the crops＇ requirements on real-time and energy efficiency in the greenhouse system. [Conclusion] For the good performance on real-time, the de- signed intelligent greenhouse real-time monitoring system laid the foundation for the research and development of agricultural informatization and intellectualization.展开更多

Tube-like HA structure was fabricated with the aid of a Nafion N-117 cation exchange membrane and gold(Au) nanoparticles were added by a hydrothermal method. The morphology, structure and composition were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The gas sensing properties were also investigated. Results show that Au nanoparticles are dispersed into the HA powder, which is tube-like, with rough inner and outer surfaces. Compared with pure HA, Au-modified HA exhibits improved sensing properties for NH_3. 5%(mass fraction) Au-modified HA shows the highest response with relatively short response/recovery time. The response is up to 79.2% when the corresponding sensor is exposed to 200×10^(-6) NH_3 at room temperature, and the response time and recovery time are 20 s and 25 s, respectively. For lower concentration, like 50×10^(-6), the response is still up to 70.8%. Good selectivity and repeatability are also observed. The sensing mechanism of high response and selectivity for NH_3 gas was also discussed. These results suggest that Au-HA composite is a promising material for NH_3 sensors operating at room temperature.展开更多

Micro-sensors are fabricated by sputtering Pt electrodes on Si chips to form sensor substrates, and then spinning the NiO-In2O3 composite nanofibers onto the sensor substrate surface. The as-fabricated micro-sensors exhibit excellent H2S sensing properties at room temperature. The sensi- tivity of the micro-sensors is up to 6 when the sensors are exposed to 3 μL/L HzS, and the corresponding response and recovery times are 14 and 22 s, respectively. The micro-sensors also exhibit high selectivity and good stability. Especially, the micro-sensors can operate at various humidity conditions. The sensitivity of the micro-sensors is 3.8 to 3 μL/L HzS at 75% relative humidity. These characteristics make the micro-sensors good candidates for practical H2S sensors with high performance.展开更多

An integrated multi-pass gas chamber and a dual-channel differential detection method are adopted to decrease response time and suppress environmental influence, respectively. An optical module is developed using a cost-effective wideband mid-infrared light source, a dual-channel pyre electrical detector and a spherical mirror, and the moisture-proof function is specially designed for enabling the application of this sensor in greenhouse with high humidity. Experiments are carried out to evaluate the sensing performance on CO_2 concentration. According to the experimental results, the limit of detection(Lo D) is about 3×10^(-5) with an absorption length of 30 cm. The relative detection error is less than 5% within the measurement range of 3×10^(-5)—5×10^(-3). Based on 10 h long-term stability measurement on 5×10^(-4) and 2×10^(-3) standard CO_2 samples, the maximum fluctuations are 1.08% and 3.6%, respectively. By using a 2.4 GHz wireless network communication system for remote monitoring and data recording, a field measurement of this sensor in a greenhouse is conducted, and good performance is proven in such circumstance.展开更多

Spectroscopic （FTIR, UV-VIS spectroscopy）, refractive index （ellipsometry） and microscopic （light microscopy and SEM/EDS） tools were used to examine both chemical uniformity and physical uniformity of the sol-gel glass layers. The conditions for the fabrication of uniform layers were established, and room temperature dopant incorporation was examined. The absorption bands of porphyrin-containing titania sol-gel layers were characterized. By addition of a metal salt to the titania layer, it was possible to metallate the free-base porphyrin within and change the UV-VIS absorbance of the porphyrin, the basis of metal detection using porphyrins. The metalloporphyrins were detected by localized laser ablation inductive coupled mass spectroscopy （LA-ICP-MS）, indicating fairly uniform distribution of metals across the titania surface.展开更多
