Collaborative optimization of exhaust gas recirculation and Miller cycle of two-stage turbocharged marine diesel engines based on particle swarm optimization

To meet increasingly stringent emission standards and lower the brake-specific fuel consumption(BSFC)of marine engines,a collaborative optimization study of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR)and a Miller cycle coupled turbocharging system was carried out.In this study,a one-dimensional numerical model of the EGR,Miller cycle,and adjustable two-stage turbocharged engine based on WeiChai 6170 marine diesel engine was established.The particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to achieve multi-input and multi-objective comprehensive optimization,and the effects of EGR-coupled Miller regulation and high-pressure turbine bypass regulation on NO_(x)and BSFC were investigated.The results showed that a medium EGR rate-coupled medium Miller degree was better for the comprehensive optimization of NO_(x)and BSFC.At medium EGR rate and low turbine bypass rates,NO_(x)and BSFC were relatively balanced and acceptable.Finally,an optimal steady-state control strategy under full loads was proposed.With an increase in loads,the optimized turbine bypass rate and Miller degree gradually increased.Compared with the EGRonly system,the optimal system of EGR and Miller cycle coupled turbine bypass reduced NO_(x)by 0.87 g/(kW·h)and BSFC by 17.19 g/(kW·h)at 100%load.Therefore,the EGR and Miller cycle coupled adjustable two-stage turbocharging achieves NO_(x)and BSFC optimization under full loads.

Heteroatoms doped iron oxide-based catalyst prepared from zinc slag for efficient selective catalytic reduction of NO_(x) with NH_(3)

Excessive emissions of nitrogen oxides from flue gas have imposed various detrimental impacts on environment,and the development of deNO_(x) catalysts with low-cost and high performance is an urgent requirement.Iron oxide-based material has been explored for promising deNO_(x) catalysts.However,the unsatisfactory low-temperature activity limits their practical applications.In this study,a series of excellent low-temperature denitrification catalysts(Ha-FeO_(x)/yZS)were prepared by acid treatment of zinc slag,and the mass ratios of Fe to impure ions was regulated by adjusting the acid concentrations.Ha-FeO_(x)/yZS showed high denitrification performance(>90%)in the range of 180–300℃,and the optimal NO conversion and N2 selectivity were higher than 95%at 250℃.Among them,the Ha-FeO_(x)/2ZS synthesized with 2 mol/L HNO3 exhibited the widest temperature window(175–350℃).The excellent denitrification performance of Ha-FeO_(x)/yZS was mainly attributed to the strong interaction between Fe and impurity ions to inhibit the growth of crystals,making Ha-FeO_(x)/yZS with amorphous structure,nice fine particles,large specific surface area,more surface acid sites and high chemisorbed oxygen.The in-situ DRIFT experiments confirmed that the SCR reaction on the Ha-FeO_(x)/yZS followed both Langmuir-Hinshelwood(L-H)mechanism and Eley-Rideal(E-R)mechanism.The present work proposed a high value-added method for the preparation of cost-effective catalysts from zinc slag,which showed a promising application prospect in NO_(x) removal by selective catalytic reduction with ammonia.

Development and application of Baosteel X80 large diameter UOE longitudinal submerged arc welded pipes

With the increase in energy demand, the demand for oil and gas transmission pipes, particularly high-grade longitudinal submerged arc welded pipes （LSAWs）, have been growing in recent years. The construction of the 2nd West -East natural gas transmission pipeline project shows that the oil and gas pipeline construction has entered a new phase of development with X80 pipes being applied in large scales for the first time in China. This paper briefly introduces the 2nd West-East natural gas transmission pipeline project and its main technical requirements with the focus on the features of API standard 5L X80 grade Ф 1219 mm series of U-ing-O-ing-Expanding （ UOE ） LSAW pipes, which Baosteel developed with the integrated technology for the 2nd West-East natural gas transmission pipeline project. The analysis shows the extra-low carbon content, the high contents of manganese and niobium, the fine microstructure, the high strength,the toughness and the good weldability of X80 pipes meet the requirements of ＂the technical specification of LSAW linepipes for the 2nd West-East natural gas transmission pipeline project in China＂. By the end of June 2010, Baosteel had totally produced 322000 t of Ф 1219 mm X80 UOE steel pipes, which have been successfully used in the 2nd West-East natural gas transmission pipeline project, thus filling the gap of the production of large diameter X80 UOE LSAW pipes in China.

A sustainable integration of removing CO_(2)/NO_(x) and producing biomass with high content of lipid/protein by microalgae

Due to the boost of CO_(2)/NO_(x)emissions which cause environmental pollution,processes that remove such pollutants from flue gas have attracted increasing attention in recent years.Among these technologies,biological CO_(2)/NO_(x)emission reduction has received more interest.Microalgae,a kind of photosynthetic microorganism,offer great promise to convert CO_(2)/NO_(x)to biomass with high content of lipid and protein,which can be used as feedstock for various products such as biodiesel,health products,feedstuff and biomaterials.In this paper,biological CO_(2)/NO_(x)removing technologies by microalgae,together with the products(such as biofuel and protein)and their economic viability are discussed.Although commercial applications of microalgae for biodiesel and protein products are hampered by the high production cost of biomass,the use of CO_(2)/NO_(x)from flue gas as carbon and nitrogen sources can reduce the cost of biomass production,which makes these technologies more competent for real-life applications.Moreover,it is projected that the increasing in CO_(2)allowances will lead to further reduction in the cost of biomass production,which especially favors related products with lower values such as biodiesel.Furthermore,by combining various process optimization and integration,biorefinery is proposed and considered as the crucial component for the sustainable and economically feasible bulk applications of microalgae biomass.

Low-Temperature Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO with NH_3 over Fe–Ce–O_x Catalysts

In this study, we used a simple impregnation method to prepare Fe-Ce-O x catalysts and tested them regarding their low-temperature (200-300 °C) selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO using NH3. We investigated the effects of Fe/Ce molar ratio, the gas hourly space velocity (GHSV), the stability and SO2/H2O resistance of the catalysts. The results showed that the FeCe(1:6)O x (Ce/Fe molar ratio is 1:6) catalyst, which has some ordered parallel channels, exhibited good SCR performance. The FeCe(1:6)O x catalyst had the highest NO conversion with an activity of 94-99% at temperatures between 200 and 300 °C at a space velocity of 28,800 h−1. The NO conversion for the FeCe(1:6)O x catalyst also reached 80-98% between 200 and 300 °C at a space velocity of 204,000 h−1. In addition, the FeCe(1:6)O x catalyst demonstrated good stability in a 10-h SCR reaction at 200-300 °C. Even in the presence of SO2 and H2O, the FeCe(1:6)O x catalyst exhibited good SCR performance.

Cold-modeling study of a circulating fluidized bed reactor for flue gas desulfurization (FGD)

Short residence time of the sorbent in the gas stream and formation of a dense layer of reaction product surrounding its surface influence the sulfur removal efficiency. A practical means of improving the process performance is to employ fluidized bed reaction in replacement of entrained bed reaction on normally used in cool side desulfurizaiton. This paper describes cold modeling study of a circulating fluidized bed reactor. Several aspects of the problem are discussed: fluidization behavior of CaO, attrition of the sorbent and solids entrainment from the fluidized bed. Mechanisms and key controlling parameters are identified, and an integral model based on rate of attrition and mass balance is developed for predicting steady state mass flows and particle size distributions of the system. A process flow scheme is finally presented for conducting desulfurization tests in the second stage of the study.

A review on Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)-based nanomaterials:synthesis and applications in gas and humidity sensors

Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x),which is a novel two-dimensional(2 D)material,has received enormous interest in the field of sensor technology due to its large surface area,excellent electrical conductivity,and abundant active surface sites.In recent years,several Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)-based gases and humidity sensors have been developed and reported.In this review,we focus on the latest applications of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)-based nanomaterials in gas and humidity sensors.First,the synthesis of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) from the dangerous fluorine-containing etching process to the safe fluorine-free preparation method was discussed,and the structures of the Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) controlled by different delamination methods were also outlined.Subsequently,the functionalization of pristine Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) and composite strategies for enhancing its gas and humidity sensing performance were reviewed.In addition,the gas and humidity sensing mechanisms of sensors based on Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) were also summarized.Finally,the challenges and opportunities for the use of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) gas and humidity sensors were discussed to provide guidance on the promising potential of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) in this field.

SnO-SnO_(2) modified two-dimensional MXene Ti3C2Tx for acetone gas sensor working at room temperature

Acetone,as widely used reagents in industry and laboratories,are extremely harmful to the human.So the detection of acetone gas concentrations and leaks in special environments at room temperature is essential.Herein,the nanocomposite combining SnO-SnO_(2)(p-n junction)and Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene was successfully synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method.Because of the existence of a small amount of oxygen during the hydrothermal conditions,part of the p-type SnO was oxidized to n-type SnO_(2),forming in-situ p-n junctions on the surface of Sn O.The hamburger-like SnO-SnO_(2)/Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) sensor exhibited improved acetone gas sensing response of 12.1(R_(g)/R_(a))at room temperature,which were nearly 11 and 4 times higher than those of pristine Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) and pristine SnO-SnO_(2),respectively.Moreover,it expressed a short recovery time(9 s)and outstanding reproducibility.Because of the different work functions,the Schottky barrier was formed between the SnO and the Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) nanosheets,acting as a hole accumulation layer(HALs)between Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) and tin oxides.Herein,the sensing mechanism based on the formation of hetero-junctions and high conductivity of the metallic phase of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene in SnO-SnO_(2)/Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) sensors was discussed in detail.

Experimental and numerical investigations of the dry-low-NO_(x) hydrogen micromix combustion chamber of an industrial gas turbine

Combined with the use of renewable energy sources for its production,hydrogen represents a possible alternative gas turbine fuel within future low emission power generation.Due to the large difference in the physical properties of hydrogen compared to other fuels such as natural gas,well established gas turbine combustion systems cannot be directly applied for dry-low-NO_(x)(DLN)hydrogen combustion.Thus,the development of DLN combustion technologies is an essential and challenging task for the future of hydrogen fuelled gas turbines.The DLN micromix combustion principle for hydrogen fuel has been developed to significantly reduce NO_(x) emissions.This combustion principle is based on cross-flow mixing of air and gaseous hydrogen which reacts in multiple miniaturized diffusion-type flames.The major advantages of this combustion principle are the inherent safety against flash-back and the low NO_(x) emissions due to a very short residence time of reactants in the flame region of the micro-flames.The micromix combustion technology has been already proven experimentally and numerically for pure hydrogen fuel operation at different energy density levels.The aim of the present study is to apply and compare different combustion models for the characterization of the micromix flame structure,its interaction with the flow field and its NO_(x) emissions.The study reveals great potential for the successful application of numerical flow simulation to predict flame structure and NO_(x) emission level of micromix hydrogen combustion,help understanding the flow phenomena related with the micromixing,reaction zone and NO_(x) formation and support further optimization of the burner performance.

Application HTP Process to Produce X80 Strip for 2nd West-East Gas Pipeline Project

HTP practice,alloyed with low-carbon (less than 0.06%) and high-niobium (up to 0.11%),has been developed to produce large-wall X80 hot rolled strip for 2nd West-East Gas Pipeline project successfully.In this paper,existing status of niobium at different rolling stage,such as reheating,rough rolling and final product and strengthening effects have been presented and analyzed systematically.Some technological questions concerrned,such as the mixed grain occurred on the delay table,dynamic recrystallization during the finish rolling course,γ→αtransformation and final microstructure obtained at low coiling temperature,have been explored further.Analytical results presented increased recrystallization stop temperature due to high niobium contents can provide the requisite to remove waiting-temperature operation of transfer bar before finish rolling to ensure controlled effect of traditional low-temperature,which is benificial not only to production efficiency,but also to uniformity of austenite microstructure.Secondly,dynamic-recrystallization occurred during finish rolling may reduce the density of dislocation,but will better the grain gradient along the thickness because the dynamic recrystallization proceeds instantly,which is beneficial to reduce the appearance of separation of impact fracture.Finally,the lower coiling temperature than traditional TMCP practice,up to 300℃,is a key factor to obtain low-carbon bainite microstructure composed of acicular ferrite and small amount M/A component,which results in high strength and excellent low-temperature toughness.

Environmental boundary and formation mechanism of different types of H2S corrosion products on pipeline steel

To establish an adequate thermodynamic model for the mechanism of formation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) corrosion products, theoretical and experimental studies were combined in this work. The corrosion products of API X60 pipeline steel formed under different H2S corrosion conditions were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. A thermodynamic model was developed to clarify the environmental boundaries for the formation and transformation of different products. Presumably, a dividing line with a negative slope existed between mackinawite and pyrrhotite. Using experimental data presented in this study combined with previously published results, we validated the model to predict the formation of mackinawite and pyrrhotite on the basis of the laws of thermodynamics. The established relationship is expected to support the investigation of the H2S corrosion mechanism in the oil and gas industry. © 2017, University of Science and Technology Beijing and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Storage-reduction strategy for NO_(x) reduction from gas turbine exhaust with W-Ti-CeO_(x) catalyst in natural gas power plants

Traditional vanadium-based selective catalytic reduction(SCR)deNO_(x) catalyst can hardly adapt to the gas conditions(much high NO_(2)/NO_(x) ratio at lower temperature)of the start-up and low loading periods for a gas turbine.Therefore,a W-Ti-CeO_(x) catalyst with NO_(x) storage and reduction(NSR)function was developed in this work for gas turbine exhaust NO_(x) elimination.The experimental results reveal that W-Ti-CeO_(x) catalyst exhibits high NO_(2) adsorption capacity at relatively low temperature while that is quite low for V-W/TiO_(2).The abundant surface Ce^(3+) species can be mainly responsible for its high adsorption ability owing to the reaction between NO_(2) and Ce^(3+) to form nitrate/nitrite species and NO.Meanwhile,the adsorption capacity of W-Ti-CeO_(x) can easily regenerate at medium-high temperature and NH_(3)-SCR reaction.Furthermore,W-Ti-CeO_(x) also shows good NH_(3)-SCR activity,which can fulfill the deNO_(x) process at high temperature.The addition of W and Ti into ceria can enhance the surface acidity and redox ability,thereby increasing the SCR activity.This work proposes a novel storage-reduction strategy for NO_(x) elimination throughout the operation of gas turbines.

A new solid-conversion gas detector for high energy X-ray industrial computed tomography

A new type of solid-conversion gas detector is investigated for high energy X-ray industrial computed tomography (HECT). The conversion efficiency is calculated by using the EGSnrc Monte Carlo code on the Linux platform to simulate the transport process of photons and electrons in the detector. The simulation results show that the conversion efficiency could be more than 65%, if the X-ray beam width is less than about 0.2 mm, and a tungsten slab with 0.2 mm thickness and 30 mm length is employed as a radiation conversion medium. Meanwhile the results indicate that this new detector has higher conversion efficiency as well as less volume. Theoretically this new kind of detector could take place of the traditional scintillation detector for HECT.

Promoting effect of FeOx addition on the mechanochemically prepared vanadium-based catalyst for real PCDD/Fs removal and mechanism insight

Industrial-use VOx-based catalysts usually have a higher active temperature window (>250-300℃),which becomes a“bottleneck”for the practical application of PCDD/Fs catalytic degradation technology.In this work,VO_(x)-FeO_(x)/TiO_(2) catalyst prepared via mechanochemically method was investigated for the catalytic removal of PCDD/Fs.The removal efficiency of 1,2-DCBz,pure PCDD/Fs gas generated in the lab,PCDD/Fs from actual fue gas,long-term were studied,and the degradation mechanism was explored using FTIR and TOFMS.The degradation efficiency of 1,2-DCBz and PCDD/Fs on VO_(x)-FeO_(x)/TiO_(2) were higher than that of VO_(x)/TiO_(2)catalyst,and the optimal FeOx addition ratio was 3 wt.%.The characterization results show that the addition of FeOx can effectively improve the pore structure,surface acidity,and VOx dispersion of the catalyst,thus contributing to increasing the V^(5+)content and surface-active oxygen,which is conducive to the improvement of adsorption and redox performance of the catalyst.Under the actual MSWI (municipal solid waste incineration)fue gas,the PCDD/Fs removal efficiency over VTi-3Fe-MC maintained long-term stability,higher than 85%for 240 min.This result was not significantly reduced compared with the data obtained in the laboratory.According to the analysis results of intermediate products by FTIR and GC-TOFMS,it can be inferred that the epoxidation fracture of benzene ring is the rate-limiting step of dioxin catalytic degradation reaction.This work gives an in-depth view into the PCDD/Fs removal over VO_(x)-FeO_(x)/TiO_(2) catalysts and could provide guidelines for the rational design of reliable catalysts for industrial applications.

MXene-derived TiO_(2)nanosheets decorated with Ag nanoparticles for highly sensitive detection of ammonia at room temperature

Due to their large surface-to-volume ratio and low electronic noise,two-dimensional transition metal carbides(Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene)and their derived transition metal oxides have demonstrated significant potential for use in high-precision gas sensing.However,the construction of high-sensitivity Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene-based gas sensors operated at room temperature(RT)is still a major challenge.Herein,we demonstrate a sensitive nanocomposite prepared by uniformly anchoring silver nanoparticles(AgNPs)on Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene-derived transition metal oxide(TiO_(2))nanosheets for high-sensitivity NH_(3) detection.AgNPs can not only serve as spacers to effectively prevent the restacking of MXene-derived TiO_(2)nanosheets and ensure an effective transmission highway for target gas molecules,but also enhance the sensitivity of the sensor through chemical and electronic sensitization.By integrating the unique merits of the individual components and the synergistic effects of the composites,the optimized Ag@TiO_(2)nanocomposite-based sensors revealed an extraordinary response value of 71.8 to 50 ppm NH_(3) at RT with a detection limit as low as 5 ppm.In addition,the Ag@TiO_(2)NH_(3) sensor also exhibits excellent selectivity and outstanding repeatability.This strategy provides an avenue for the development of MXene derivatives for advanced gas sensors.

Preparation of gangue ceramsite by sintering pot test and potential analysis of waste heat recovery from flue gas

Preparation of ceramsite from solid waste based on the sintering process is a new technology and had a high efficiency in improving producing capability, decreasing consumption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and recovering waste heat of flue gas. An experiment sintering gangue ceramsite was conducted in a 25 kg scale sintering pot with a 100 cm height. The combustion characteristics, phase transformation, and the release profile of SO_(2)^(*) (SO and/or SO_(2)) and NO_(x)^(*) (N_(2)O, NO, and/or NO_(2)) of gangue ceramsite during the sintering process were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, thermogravimetry–differential thermogravimetry–differential scanning calorimetry, and measurement of physical properties of ceramsite and gas components of flue gas. The results showed that the gangue ceramsite had excellent properties, and its compressive strength and water absorption were 8.2–9.6 MPa and 8.9%–9.8%, respectively, far exceeding the requirement of standard (GB/T 17431.1–2010). The ignition temperature of gangue ceramsite was 443 ℃, and the ignition loss was 14.60 mass% at 1000 ℃. Kaolinite and calcite disappeared at 600 and 800 ℃, respectively. Albite disappeared and mullite formed at 1000 ℃. Two peaks of SO_(2)^(*) emissions emerged in the range of 311–346 mg m^(-3) near 500 ℃ of upper layer ceramsite and 420–489 mg m^(-3) near 1000 ℃ of lower layer ceramsite, respectively. NO_(x)^(*) emissions peak emerged in the range of 227–258 mg m^(-3) near 550 ℃ of the upper layer ceramsite, which was related to the oxidation of sulfide and the combustion of LPG. Gangue is a direct heat source for sintering of ceramsite as well. During sintering process, the heat of flue gas above and below 400 ℃ accounts for 55.9% and 30.0% of the all-output heat, respectively, and was potentially used for producing waste-heat steam or electricity as by-products and drying raw materials during its own initial sintering process, which can realize combined mass and heat utilization for the gangue and further reduce the cost of sintered gangue ceramsite.

CFD based exploration of the dry-low-NO_(x) hydrogen micromix combustion technology at increased energy densities

Combined with the use of renewable energy sources for its production,hydrogen represents a possible alternative gas tuibine fuel within future low emission power generation.Due to the large difference in the physical properties of hydrogen compared to other fuels such as natural gas,well established gas tuibine combustion systems cannot be directly applied for dry-low-NO_(x)(DLN)hydrogen combustion.Thus,the development of DLN combustion technologies is an essential and challenging task for the future of hydrogen fuelled gas turbines.The DLN micromix combustion principle for hydrogen fuel has been developed to significantly reduce NO_(x)-emlssions.This combustion principle is based on cross-flow mixing of air and gaseous hydrogen which reacts in multiple miniaturized diffusion-type flames.The major advantages of this combustion principle are the inherent safety against flash-back and the low NO_(x)-emlssions due to a very short residence time of reactants in the flame region of the micro-flames.The micromix combustion technology has been already proven experimentally and numerically for pure hydrogen fuel operation at different energy density levels.The aim of the present study is to analyze the influence of different geometry parameter variations on the flame structure and the NO_(x)emission and to identify the most relevant design parameters,aiming to provide a physical understanding of the micromix flame sensitivity to the burner design and identify further optimization potential of this innovative combustion technology while increasing its energy density and making it mature enough for real gas turbine application.The study reveals great optimization potential of the micromix combustion technology with respect to the DLN characteristics and gives insight into the impact of geometry modifications on flame structure and NO_(x)emission.This allows to further increase the energy density of the micromix burners and to integrate this technology in industrial gas turbines.

Effects of Optimized Operating Parameters on Combustion Characteristics and NO_(x)Emissions of a Burner based on Orthogonal Analysis

To optimize the structure of the burner,improve the combustion performance,and reduce the emission of NO_(x),a self-circulating low NO_(x)combustion technology was used to design a new type of flue gas self-circulating low NO_(x)burner.Based on previous research on the numerical model of combustion and the composition of mixed gas on combustion and NO_(x)emissions,the effect of various factors on the ejection coefficient of the flue gas self-circulating structure was analyzed using the orthogonal test method,and the burner operating parameters,such as preheating temperature and excess air coefficient,were deeply studied through the three-dimensional finite element numerical model in this paper.The results show that the diameter ratio of the nozzle and the length of the cylindrical section of the flue gas self-circulating structure have great influence on its ejection and mixing ability.The optimal ejection coefficient was 0.4829.Overall,the amount of NO_(x)emissions greatly increased from 6.23×10^(-6)(volume fraction)at the preheating temperature 973 K to 3.5×10^(-3)at preheating temperature 1573 K.When the excess air coefficient decreased from 1.2 to 1,the maximum combustion temperature decreased from 2036.3 K to 1954.22 K,and the NO_(x)emissions decreased from 352.29×10^(-6)to 159.73×10^(-6).

Ultra-thin ALD CoO_(x)-ZnO heterogenous films as highly sensitive and environmentally friendly H_(2)S sensor

To obtain environmentally friendly,integrated and miniaturized gas sensors for the increasing request for the Internet of Things industry and other relative areas,the ultra-thin CoO_(x)/Zn O heterogeneous film with active interfacial sites was in-situ deposited on micro-electro-mechanical systems(MEMS)as H_(2)S sensor.Atomic layer deposition(ALD)was employed to in-situ fabricate the uniform Zn O thin film.ALD CoO_(x)was deposited on ZnO surface to obtain CoO_(x)/Zn O heterojunction and active interfacial sites.The ultra-thin film(20 nm)with 50 ALD Co O_(x)decorated on 250 ALD Zn O displays excellent sensing performance,including very high response(4.45@200×10^(-9))and selectivity to H_(2)S with a limit of detection(LOD)of 0.38×10^(-9),long-term sensing stability,high response/recovery performance(7.5 s/15.7 s)and mechanical strength at 230。C.Reasons for the high sensing performance of CoO_(x)/Zn O have been confirmed by series of characterizations and density functional theory(DFT)calculation.Heterojunction film thickness with Debye length,the oxygen vacancies and the synergistic effect of active interfacial sites are main reasons for the high sensing performance.The strategy by fabrication of CoO_(x)/Zn O heterogeneous film within Debye length and employing synergistic effect of active interfacial sites offers a promising route for the design of environmentally friendly gas sensors.Furthermore,the ALD technique offers a facile in-situ strategy and high-throughput fabrication of MEMS gas sensors.
