In this paper a novel type of a highly sensitive gas sensor device based on the surface photovoltage effect is described. The developed surface photovoltage gas sensor is based on a reverse Kelvin probe approach. As the active gas sensing electrode the porous ZnO nanostructured thin films are used deposited by the direct current (DC) reactive magnetron sputtering method exhibiting the nanocoral surface morphology combined with an evident surface nonstoichiometry related to the unintentional surface carbon and water vapor contaminations. Among others, the demonstrated SPV gas sensor device exhibits a high sensitivity of 1 ppm to NO2 with a signal to noise ratio of about 50 and a fast response time of several seconds under the room temperature conditions.

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.

Abstract Gas sensing technology is currently applied in a variety of applications. In medical applications, gas sensors can be used for the detection of the biomarker in various diseases, metabolic disorders, diabetes mellitus, asthma, renal, liver diseases, and lung cancer. In this study, we present acetone sensing characteristics of Si-doped WO3 nanorods prepared by a DC reactive magnetron co-sputtering with an oblique-angle deposition (OAD) technique. The composition of Si-doped in WO3 has been studied by varying the electrical input power applied to the Si sputtered target. The nanorods film was constructed at the glancing angle of 85°. After deposition, the films were annealed at 400 ◦C for 4 hrs in the air. The microstructures and phases of the materials were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The results showed that 1.43 wt% Si-doped WO3 thin film exhibited the maximum response of 5.92 towards 100 ppm of acetone at performing temperature (350 °C), purifying dry air carrier. The process exposed in this work demonstrated the potential of high sensitivity acetone gas sensor at low concentration and may be used as an effective tool for diabetes non-invasive monitoring.

Background:: A sensing material of zinc oxide (ZnO) was investigated for its use in the electrospun nanofibers for gas sensing. The metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor response is caused by the oxygen that undergoes a chemical reaction on the surface of an oxide, resulting in a change in the measured resistance. Objective:: One-dimensional nanofibers gas sensor have high sensitivity and diverse selectivity. Methods:: One-dimensional nanofiber by an electrospinning method was collected and a sensing membrane was formed. In addition, the gas sensing mechanism was discussed and verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Results:: The ZnO nanofiber membrane had an optimum crystalline phase with a lattice spacing of 0.245 nm and a non-woven fabric structure at a calcination temperature of 500°C, whereas the nanofiber diameter and membrane thickness were about 100 nm and 8 μm, respectively. At an operating temperature of 200°C, the sensing material exhibited good recovery and reproducibility in response to Carbon monoxide (CO), and the concentration was also highly discernible. In addition, the reduction in the peak of OIII at 531.5 to 532.5 eV according to the analysis of XPS was consistent with the description of the sensing mechanism. Conclusion:: The gas sensor of ZnO nanofiber membranes has high sensitivity and diverse selectivity, which can be widely applied in potential applications in various sensors and devices.

A resistive ethanol gas sensor with a high sensitivity has been proposed. The fabricated gas sensor has a very promising response and recovery at room temperature. The proposed sensor has been fabricated by depositing sensitive nanostructured material on printed circuit board interdigitated electrodes. As the sensitive material, ZnO nanorods of high uniformity have been synthesized by hydrothermal method and then decorated by PbS nanoparticles. The synthesized decorated nanorods were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope which confirmed the formation of the desired nanostructures. The ethanol gas sensing properties of the ZnO nanorods decorated with PdS nanoparticles was measured in a test chamber. The minimum ethanol concentration detected by the sensor has been 10 ppm. The results showed the higher sensitivity of the proposed sensor to the ethanol at room temperature compared to similar works.

Using zinc chloride solution and ammonia (25%) as raw material, with the presence of surfactant (CTAB), the microrod ZnO material was synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The phase composition and microstructure of the prepared ZnO material were characterized with XRD and SEM. The results show that the ZnO material possesses a high degree of crystallization, its diameter below 4 μm, and its length about 35 μm. The gas sensing property of gas sensor fabricated with the prepared ZnO material was evaluated via the static volumetric method. At the operating temperature of 200°C, the gas sensor has high sensitivity and selectivity to CH3COCH3.The gas sensing characterization was also discussed.
