AbstractVertically-aligned Mn (10%)-doped Fe3O4 (Fe2.7Mn0.3O4) nanowire arrays were produced by the reduction/substitution of pre-grown Fe2O3 nanowires. These nanowires were ferromagnetic with a Verwey temperature of 129 K. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements revealed that the Mn2+ ions preferentially occupy the tetrahedral sites, substituting for the Fe3+ ions. We observed that the Mn substitution decreases the magnetization, but increases the electrical conductivity. We developed highly sensitive gas sensors using these nanowire arrays, operating at room temperature, whose sensitivity showed a correlation with their bond strength of diatomic/triatomic molecules. Based on the fact that the sensitivity was highest toward water vapor, an excellent-performance humidity sensor was fabricated.

Highly sensitive silver (Ag) modified zinc oxide (ZnO) humidity sensors were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and the mechanism was studied. Experimental results show that Ag-modified ZnO can effectively enhance the performance of a humidity sensor. Large number of oxygen vacancies and many active sites are generated on the surface when molar ratio of Ag+ to Zn2+ is 1:100, which can accelerate the decomposition of water molecules on surface of the material, thereby improving the response of humidity sensor. Moreover, the linearity of ZnO humidity sensor is greatly improved by silver nanoparticles. Compared with previously reported ZnO-based humidity sensors, Ag/ZnO humidity sensors have a better response (151,700%), good linearity, low hysteresis (3%), and short response/recovery time (36/6 s). At the same time, it is found that the light had little effect on the performance of Ag/ZnO. Therefore, this kind of ZnO sensor with stable performance and excellent performance is expected to be used in the detection of relative humidity in conventional environments.

2D all-covalent networks of Au nanoparticles, interconnected with hygroscopic organic linkers, act as highly sensitive humidity sensor. The interparticle distance changes in presence of moisture to reversibly trigger plasmonic coupling collectively.

Aim and Objective: Ultrafine Ag/ZnO nanotetrapods (AZNTP) have been prepared successfully using silver (I)–bis (oxalato) zinc complex and 1, 3-diaminopropane (DAP) with a phase separation system, and have been injected into a diethyl/water solution. Materials and Methods: This crystal structure and lattice constant of the AZNTP obtained were investigated by means of a SEM, XRD, TEM and UV-vis spectrum. Results: The results of the present study demonstrated the growth and characterization AZNTP for humidity sensing and DAP plays a key role in the determination of particle morphology. AZNTP films with 23 nm in arm diameter have shown highly sensitive, quick response sensor material that works at room temperature.
