A novel hybrid structure sensor based on cobalt carbonate hydroxide hydrate (CCHH) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was designed for room temperature NH3 detection. This hybrid structure consisted of CCHH and RGO (synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method), in which RGO uniformly dispersed in CCHH, being used as the gas sensing film. The resistivity of the hybrid structure was highly sensitive to the changes on NH3 concentration. CCHH in the hybrid structure was the sensing material and RGO was the conductive channel material. The hybrid structure could improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the sensitivity by obtaining the optimal mass proportion of RGO, since the proportion of RGO was directly related to sensitivity. The gas sensor with 0.4 wt% RGO showed the highest gas sensing response reach to 9% to 1 ppm NH3. Compared to a conventional gas sensor, the proposed sensor not only showed high gas sensing response at room temperature but also was easy to achieve large-scale production due to the good stability and simple synthesis process.

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) based chemiresistor gas sensor has received much attention in gas sensing for high sensitivity, room temperature operation, and reversible. Here, for the first time, we present a promising chemiresistor for ammonia gas detection based on tannic acid (TA) functionalized and reduced graphene oxide (rGOTA functionalized). Green reductant of TA plays a major role in both reducing process and enhancing the gas sensing properties ofrGOTA functionalized. Our results showrGOTA functionalizedonly selective to ammonia with excellent respond, recovery, respond time, and recovery times.rGOTA functionalizedelectrical resistance decreases upon exposure to NH3where we postulated that it is due to n-doping by TA and charge transfer betweenrGOTA functionalizedand NH3through hydrogen bonding. Furthermore,rGOTA functionalizedhinders the needs for stimulus for both recovery and respond. The combination of greener sensing material and simplicity in overall sensor design provides a new sight for green reductant approach of rGO based chemiresistor gas sensor.

The development of functionalized metal oxide/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybrid nanocomposites concerning power equipment failure diagnosis is one of the most recent topics. In this work, WO3 nanolamellae/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposites with different contents of GO (0.5 wt %, 1 wt %, 2 wt %, 4 wt %) were synthesized via controlled hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analyses-derivative thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DTG-DSC), BET, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were utilized to investigate morphological characterizations of prepared gas sensing materials and indicated that high quality WO3 nanolamellae were widely distributed among graphene sheets. Experimental ceramic planar gas sensors composing of interdigitated alumina substrates, Au electrodes, and RuO2 heating layer were coated with WO3 nanolamellae/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) films by spin-coating technique and then tested for gas sensing towards multi-concentrations of acetylene (C2H2) gases in a carrier gas with operating temperature ranging from 50 °C to 400 °C. Among four contents of prepared samples, sensing materials with 1 wt % GO nanocomposite exhibited the best C2H2 sensing performance with lower optimal working temperature (150 °C), higher sensor response (15.0 toward 50 ppm), faster response-recovery time (52 s and 27 s), lower detection limitation (1.3 ppm), long-term stability, and excellent repeatability. The gas sensing mechanism for enhanced sensing performance of nanocomposite is possibly attributed to the formation of p-n heterojunction and the active interaction between WO3 nanolamellae and rGO sheets. Besides, the introduction of rGO nanosheets leads to the impurity of synthesized materials, which creates more defects and promotes larger specific area for gas adsorption, outstanding conductivity, and faster carrier transport. The superior gas sensing properties of WO3/rGO based gas sensor may contribute to the development of a high-performance ppm-level gas sensor for the online monitoring of dissolved C2H2 gas in large-scale transformer oil.

The demand for carbon dioxide (CO2) gas detection is increasing nowadays. However, its fast detection at room temperature (RT) is a major challenge. Graphene is found to be the most promising sensing material for RT detection, owing to its high surface area and electrical conductivity. In this work, we report a highly edge functionalized chemically synthesized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) thin films to achieve fast sensing response for CO2 gas at room temperature. The high amount of edge functional groups is prominent for the sorption of CO2 molecules. Initially, rGO is synthesized by reduction of GO using ascorbic acid (AA) as a reducing agent. Three different concentrations of rGO are prepared using three AA concentrations (25, 50, and 100 mg) to optimize the material properties such as functional groups and conductivity. Thin films of three different AA reduced rGO suspensions (AArGO25, AArGO50, AArGO100) are developed and later analyzed using standard FTIR, XRD, Raman, XPS, TEM, SEM, and four-point probe measurement techniques. We find that the highest edge functionality is achieved by the AArGO25 sample with a conductivity of ~1389 S/cm. The functionalized AArGO25 gas sensor shows recordable high sensing properties (response and recovery time) with good repeatability for CO2 at room temperature at 500 ppm and 50 ppm. Short response and recovery time of ~26 s and ~10 s, respectively, are achieved for 500 ppm CO2 gas with the sensitivity of ~50 Hz/µg. We believe that a highly functionalized AArGO CO2 gas sensor could be applicable for enhanced oil recovery, industrial and domestic safety applications.
