Preparation of polythiophene/WO_3 organic-inorganic hybrids and their gas sensing properties for NO_2 detection at low temperature

Polythiophene/WO3（PTP/WO3）organic-inorganic hybrids were synthesized by an in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method,and char- acterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）,transmission electron microscopy（TEM）and thermo-gravimetric analysis（TGA）.The Polythiophene/ WO3 hybrids have higher thermal stability than pure polythiophene,which is beneficial to potential application as chemical sensors.Gas sensing measurements demonstrate that the gas sensor based on the Polythiophene/WO3 hybrids has high response and good selectivity for de- tecting NO2 of ppm level at low temperature.Both the operating temperature and PTP contents have an influence on the response of PTP/WO3 hybrids to NO2.The 10 wt%PTP/WO3 hybrid showed the highest response at low operating temperature of 70-C.It is expected that the PTP/WO3 hybrids can be potentially used as gas sensor material for detecting the low concentration of NO2 at low temperature.

A visible-light-assisted Pd/TiO_(2)gas sensor with carbon nanotubes electrodes for trace formaldehyde detection

Owing to the ppb-level detection standard toward the toxic and harmful gas,the detection of trace gases has become an important subject in the field of indoor environment management.However,the traditional resistive gas sensors hardly meet the requirement due to the weak signal generated by trace gas molecules that are difficult to capture.Herein,a visible-light-assisted Pd/TiO_(2)gas sensor is proposed to endow the effective detection of trace formaldehyde(HCHO)gas without heating temperature.Benefiting from the enhanced photocatalytic properties of TiO_(2)by Pd decoration,the visible-light-assisted Pd/TiO_(2)gas sensor can detect the HCHO gas as low as80×10^(–9)at room temperature.The successful preparation of nanoscale TiO_(2)sensing layer is facilitated by the ultrathin carbon nanotube interdigital electrode in the gas sensor,which avoids the discontinuity of the sensing layer caused by the excessive thickness of the traditional metal electrode.In addition,the whole preparation process of the Pd/TiO_(2)gas sensor with carbon nanotube electrodes is compatible with mainstream CMOS fabrication technology,which is expected to realize the batch fabrication and micro-integrated application of gas sensors.It is expected that our work can provide a new strategy for the batch preparation of high-performance trace HCHO gas sensors and their future applications in portable electronic devices such as smartphones.

Ultrafast metal oxide reduction at Pd/PdO_(2) interface enables onesecond hydrogen gas detection under ambient conditions

Here,we report a Pd/PdO_(x) sensing material that achieves 1-s detection of 4% H_(2) gas(i.e.,the lower explosive limit concentration for H_(2))at room temperature in air.The Pd/PdO_(x) material is a network of interconnected nanoscopic domains of Pd,PdO,and PdO_(2).Upon exposure to 4% H_(2),PdO and PdO_(2) in the Pd/PdO_(x) are immediately reduced to metallic Pd,generating over a>90% drop in electrical resistance.The mechanistic study reveals that the Pd/PdO_(2) interface in Pd/PdOx is responsible for the ultrafast PdO_(x) reduction.Metallic Pd at the Pd/PdO_(2) interface enables fast H_(2) dissociation to adsorbed H atoms,significantly lowering the PdO2 reduction barrier.In addition,control experiments suggest that the interconnectivity of Pd,PdO,and PdO2 in our Pd/PdO_(x) sensing material further facilitates the reduction of PdO,which would otherwise not occur.The 1-s response time of Pd/PdO_(x) under ambient conditions makes it an excellent alarm for the timely detection of hydrogen gas leaks.

ZnO/PANI nanoflake arrays sensor for ultra-low concentration and rapid detection of NO_(2)at room temperature

With the development of environmental monitoring,it is urgent to establish NO_(2)sensor with good sensing performance.Compared with the traditional NO_(2)sensors made of metal oxides,NO_(2)sensors made of n-p heterostructure nanocomposites have good sensing performance in detection limit and operating temperature.ZnO nanoflake arrays with polyaniline film grown on the surface were prepared on ceramic tubes by hydrothermal and vapor diffusion method.The gas-phase diffusion method can control the heterostructure by adjusting the diffusion time.At room temperature(25℃),the construction of rich n-p heterogeneous interface enables the sensor prepared by the nanocomposite to respond to NO_(2),showing the sensing performance with the response value of 28.00 to10.00×10^(-6)NO_(2);the detection limit improved to0.01×10^(-6)and the recovery time of 18 s.In this work,the sensing mechanism of NO_(2)at heterogeneous interface is analyzed,which provides a promising material for the detection of low concentration NO_(2)at room temperature.

The hysteresis loop changes of ferroelecric SrBi_2 Ta_2 O_9 (SBT) thin films(330nm) us the temperature of forming gas (5 percent hydrogen+95 percent nitrogen) annealing weremeasured when the annealing time was 1min and 10min. The selected annealing temperature was at 100deg C,200 deg C 250 deg C, 300 deg C, 350 deg C,400 deg C and 450 deg C, respectively. Our resultsshowed that the ferroelectric properties were easily destroyed and the leakage current changedabruptly when the SBT thin films were in their ferroelectric phase (<270 deg C). The space chargesat the grain boundary may take an important role' in absorption polarity molecular hydrogen when theSBT thin films were in the ferroelectric phase. The oxygen recovery experiments were also performedand investigated in this work.

Preparation of two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide for NO2 detection at room temperature

In this work,the two-dimensional MoS2 film was prepared by sulfuring the molybdenum atomic layer on SiO2/Si substrate.The reaction temperature,heating rate,holding time and carrier gas flow rate were inve stigated compre hensively.The quality of MoS2 film was characterized by optical microscopy,atomic fo rce microscopy,Raman and photoluminescence spectro scopy.The characte rization results showed that the optimum synthesis parameters were heating rate of 25℃/min,reaction temperature of 750℃,holding time of 30 min and carrier gas velocity of 100 sccm.The MoS2 gas sensor was fabricated and its gas sensing performance was tested.The test results indicated that the sensor had a good response to both reducing gas(NH3)and oxidizing gas(NO2)at room temperature.The sensitivity to 100 ppm of NO2 was 31.3%,and the response/recovery times were 4 s and 5 s,respectively.In addition,the limit of detection could be as low as 1 ppm.This work helps us to develop low power and integrable room temperature NO2 sensors.

Fabrication of oxygen-doped MoSe2 hierarchical nanosheets for highly sensitive and selective detection of trace trimethylamine at room temperature in air

Nano Research volume 13,pages1704–1712(2020)Cite this article 191 Accesses Metrics details Abstract Intelligent gas sensors based on the layered transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs)have attracted great interest in the field of gas sensing due to their multiple active sites,fast electron,mass transfer capability and large surface-to-volume ratio.However,conventional TMDs-based sensors typically work at elevated temperature in inert atmosphere,which would largely limit the corresponding practical applications.Herein,novel oxygen-doped MoSe2 hierarchical nanostructures composed of ultrathin nanosheets with large specific surface area have been designed and generated typically at 200°C in air for fast and facile gas sensing of trimethylamine(TMA),effectively.Benefited from the gas-accessible hierarchical morphology and high surface area with abundant nanochannels,highly sensitive and selective detection of trace TMA has been achieved under ambient condition,and as detected the theoretical limit of detection(LOD)is 8 ppb,which is the lowest for TMA detection under ambient condition among the reported studies.The mechanism of oxygen doping on the improved gas-sensing performance has been investigated,revealing that the oxygen doping could greatly optimize the electronic structure,thus regulate the Fermi level of MoSe2 as well as the affinity between TMA molecule and sensor surface.It is expected that the oxygen doping strategy developed for the highly efficient gas sensors based on TMDs in present work may also be applicable to other types of gas-sensing semiconductors,which could open up a new direction for the rational design of high-performance gas sensors working under ambient condition.

Hydrothermal synthesis of hierarchical SnO_(2)nanomaterials for high-efficiency detection of pesticide residue

Acephate pesticide contamination in agricultural production has caused serious human health problems.Metal oxide semiconductor(MOS)gas sensor can be used as a portable and promising alternative tool for efficiently detection of acephate.In this study,hierarchical assembled SnO_(2)nanosphere,SnO_(2)hollow nanosphere and SnO_2 nanoflower were synthesized respectively as high efficiency sensing materials to build rapid and selective acephate pesticide residues sensors.The morphologies of different SnO_(2)3 D nanostructures were characterized by various material characterization technology.The sensitive performance test results of the 3 D SnO_(2)nanomaterials towards acephate show that hollow nanosphere SnO_(2)based sensor displayed preferable sensitivity,selectivity,and rapid response(9 s)properties toward acephate at the optimal working temperature(300℃).This SnO_(2)hollow nanosphere based gas sensor represents a useful tool for simple and highly effective monitoring of acephate pesticide residues in food and environment.According to the characterization results,particularly Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET)and Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy(UV-vis),the obvious and fast response can be attributed to the mesoporous hollow nanosphere structure and appropriate band gap of SnO_2 hollow nanosphere.

ZnSe/NiO heterostructure-based chemiresistive-type sensors for low-concentration NO_(2) detection

Novel ZnSe/NiO heterostructure nanocomposites were successfully prepared by one-step hydrothermal method.The ZnSe/NiO-based sensor exhibits a response of~96.47% to 8×10^(-6) NO_(2) at 140℃,which is significantly higher than those of intrinsic ZnSe-based(no response)and NiO-based(~19.65%)sensors.The theoretical detection limit(LOD)of the sensor is calculated to be 8.91×10^(-9),indicating that the sensor can be applied to detect the ultralow concentrations of NO_(2).The effect of NiO content on the gas-sensing performance of the nanocomposites was investigated in detail.The optimal NiO content in the nanocomposite is determined to be15.16%to achieve the highest response.The as-fabricated sensor also presents an excellent selectivity to several possible interferents such as methanol,ethanol,acetone,benzene,ammonia and formaldehyde.The enhanced sensing performance can be attributed to the formation of p-p heterostructures between ZnSe and NiO,which induces the charge transfer across the interfaces and yields more active sites.

手性化合物在质谱中光学稳定性的研究

The optical stability of chiral 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetic acid in electron ionization mass spectrometry(EIMS) process has been detected directly by deuterium labelling technique. From the EI mass spectrum of deuterated 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetic acid, the major characteristic fragment ion at m/z 108(the capture of the carbonyl group) and the corresponding isotopic ion(13C) at m/z 109 can be observed, and the ratio of m/z=109 to m/z=108 is about 8%(the calculated value is 7.8%). As enolization of deuterated 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetic acid in mass spectrometry can yield the characteristic fragment ion at m/z 109 and results in much higher ratio of 109/108 than 8%; this study shows that no enolization takes place during the EI-MS process of 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetic acid. This results can be concluded that these compounds are optically stable in the process of instantaneous vaporization at high temperature and electron impact ionization.

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 ℃) selective catalytic reduction(SCR) of NO using NH_3.We investigated the effects of Fe/Ce molar ratio,the gas hourly space velocity(GHSV),the stability and SO_2/H_2O 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 and300 ℃ 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 ℃ at a space velocity of204,000h^(-1).In addition,the FeCe(1:6)O_x catalyst demonstrated good stability in a 10-h SCR reaction at200-300 ℃.Even in the presence of SO_2 and H_2O,the FeCe(1:6)O_x catalyst exhibited good SCR performance.

Sulfur dioxide gas sensing at room temperature based on tin selenium/tin dioxide hybrid prepared via hydrothermal and surface oxidation treatment

In this paper,a novel SnSe/SnO_(2) nanoparticles(NPs) composite has been successfully fabricated through hydrothermal method and surface oxidation treatment.The as-prepared sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).A series of morphological and structural characteristics confirm that the SnSe/SnO_(2) NPs composite shows a core-shell structure with a SnO_(2) shell with thickness of 6 nm.The prepared SnO_(2) NPs and SnSe/SnO_(2) NPs composite were applied as gas-sensing materials,and their gas-sensing properties were investigated at room temperature systematically.Experimental results show that the response value of the SnSe/SnO_(2) composite sensor toward 100×10^(-6) SO_(2) is 15.15%,which is 1.32 times higher than that of pristine SnSe(11.43%).And the SnSe/SnO_(2) composite sensor also has a detection limit as low as 74×10^(-9) and an ultra-fast response speed.The enhanced gas-sensing performance is attributed to the formation of p-n heterojunction between SnSe and SnO_(2) and the appropriate SnO_(2) shell thickness.

H2S gas sensor based on integrated resonant dual-microcantilevers with high sensitivity and identification capability

Detection of trace-level hydrogen sulfide(H2 S)gas is of great importance whether in industrial production or disease diagnosis.This research presents a novel H2 S gas sensor based on integrated resonant dual-microcantilevers which can identify and detect trace-level H2 S in real-time.The sensor consists of two integrated resonant microcantilever sensors with different functions.One cantilever sensor can identify H2 S by outputting positive frequency shift signals,while the other cantilever sensor will detect H2 S as a normally used cantilever sensor with negative frequency shifts.Combined the two cantilever sensors,the proposed gas sensor can distinguish H2 S from a variety of common gases,and the detection limit to H2 S of the sensor is as sensitive as below 1 ppb.

Highly sensitive ethanol gas sensor based on ultrathin nanosheets assembled Bi_2WO_6 with composite phase

Bismuth tungstate(Bi2 WO6) has many intriguing properties and has been the focus of studies in a variety of fields, especially photocatalysis. However, its application in gas-sensing has been seldom reported.Here, we successfully synthesized assembled hierarchical Bi2 WO6 which consists of ultrathin nanosheets with crystalline-amorphous composite phase by a one-step hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy(XPS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM),and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) techniques were employed to characterize its composition, morphology, and microstructure. By taking advantage of its unique microstructure,phase composition, and large surface area, we show that the resulting Bi2 WO6 is capable of detecting ethanol gas with quick response(7 s) and recovery dynamic(14 s), extremely high sensitivity(Ra/Rg= 60.8@50 ppm ethanol) and selectivity. Additionally, it has excellent reproducibility and long-term stability(more than 50 d). The Bi2 WO6 outperform the existing Bi2 WO6-based and most of the other state-of-the-art sensing platforms. We not only provided one new member to the field of gas sensor,but also offered several strategies to reconstruct nanomaterials.

Synthesis,characterization and experimental investigation of Cu-BTC as CO_2 adsorbent from flue gas

Porous Cu-BTC material was synthesized by the solvothermal method. Powder X-ray diffraction （PXRD） was used to test the phase purity of the synthesized material and investigate its structural stability under the influence of flue gas components. The thermal stability of the material was determined through thermal gravimetric （TG） analysis. Scanning electron microscopy （SEM） was employed to study the microstructure of the material. Cu-BTC was demonstrated not only to have high CO2 adsorption capacity but also good selectivity of CO2 over N2 by means of packed bed tests. The adsorption capacity of Cu-BTC for CO2 was about 69 mL/g at 22℃. The influence of the main flue gas components on the CO2 capacity of the material were discussed as well.

Role of NO and SO_(2)in mercury oxidation over a La_(2)O_(3)/Fe_(2)O_(3)catalyst with high thermal stability

In this study,the thermal stability of a ferric oxide catalyst for mercury oxidation was found to be considerably promoted by doping with La_(2)O_(3).The catalysts doped with La_(2)O_(3)maintained a higher surface area when subjected to high-temperature calcination,with lower average pore size and a narrower pore size distribution.X-ray diffraction(XRD)results revealed that La_(2)O_(3)doping hinders the growth of catalyst particles and crystallization of the material at high temperatures.Both NO and SO_(2)inhibited Hg^(0)oxidation over the La_(2)O_(3)/Fe_(2)O_(3)catalyst.Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectra revealed that SO_(2)reacts with O_(2)over the catalysts to form several species that are inert for mercury oxidation,such as S042^(-),HS04^(-),or other related species;these inert species cover the catalyst surface and consequently decrease Hg^(0)oxidation capacity.In addition,NO or SO_(2)competed with Hg^(0)for active sites on the La_(2)O_(3)/Fe_(2)O_(3)catalyst and hindered the adsorption of mercury,thereby inhibiting subsequent Hg^(0)oxidation.Hg^(0)oxidation on the La_(2)O_(3)/Fe_(2)O_(3)catalyst mainly followed the Eley-Rideal mechanism.Moreover,the inhibition effects of NO and SO_(2)were at least partially reversible,and the catalytic activity was temporarily restored after eliminating NO or S0_(2).

机械振动对光学火灾预警系统的影响与改进措施

由于火灾阴燃过程会产生二氧化碳(CO_(2))气体,故采用基于非色散红外(non-dispersion infrared,NDIR)原理的火灾预警系统来监测CO_(2)浓度来预防火灾事故。该预警系统基于中红外吸收光谱技术,利用CO_(2)气体分子在4.26μm处的基频吸收带,结合红外宽带热光源和双通道热释电探测器,实现了中红外CO_(2)的高灵敏检测。利用配备的CO_(2)气体样品,研究了该系统对CO_(2)气体的传感特性。由于需要将火灾预警系统放在农业机械上工作,机械振动会影响系统光路结构,因此需要对装置进行减振处理。基于杜哈梅积分模型及其在求解振动系统响应问题上的应用,设计了一种减振装置,并对该装置进行了建模仿真,结果显示振动幅度减少了82%。将该减振装置进行室外振动测试,结果显示仪器振动幅度减小了86%~87%,采用减振装置时CO_(2)测量浓度的方差相较未采用减振装置时减小了50.01%,不确定度降低了29.52%。仿真分析及室外振动实验结果表明,该减振系统的减振效果良好,具有性价比高、减振结构简单等优势,具有工程应用价值。
