Cd/In-glycerate spheres are synthesized through a simple solvothermal method. After thermal treatment, these Cd/In-glycerates can be converted into CdIn2O4 spheres. Many characterization methods were performed to reveal the microstructure and morphology of the CdIn2O4. It was found that pure CdIn2O4 phase was obtained for the Cd/In starting materials at ratios of 1:1.6. The CdIn2O4 spheres are composed by a large number of nanoparticles subunits. The CdIn2O4 sphere-based sensor exhibited a low detection limit (1 ppm), high response (81.20 to 500 ppm n-butanol), fast response (4 s) and recovery (10 s) time, good selectivity, excellent repeatability, and stability at 280 °C. Our findings highlight the possibility to develop a novel gas sensor based on CdIn2O4 for application in n-butanol detection with high performance.

Polypyrrole (PPy)–Zn2SnO4 nanocomposites with different weight percentages (0–20%) of Zn2SnO4 were successfully prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization. The prepared nanocomposites were deposited on epoxy glass substrate using a spin coating technique and have been characterized using various techniques such as X-ray diffractometer, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. The physicochemical characterization confirmed well-formed dodecylbenzene (DBSA)-doped PPy–Zn2SnO4 nanocomposites with granular morphology and high porosity. Among various nanocompositions, DBSA-doped PPy–Zn2SnO4 (10 wt.%) nanocomposite was found to be highly sensitive towards NH3 vapor at room temperature i.e. with a chemiresistive response of 5.44% at 27 ppm with a reasonably fast recovery time of 76 s. Additionally, it shows a linear response and appropriate recovery time at all concentrations of NH3 vapor. The DBSA-doped PPy–Zn2SnO4 nanocomposite response is four times better than pure PPy toward NH3 vapor at room temperature. Therefore, it is expected that such material with excellent gas sensing properties at room temperature can be used for high-performance NH3 sensors.

BiFeO3 nanocrystals were applied as the sensing material to isopropanol. The isopropanol sensor based on BiFeO3 nanocrystals shows excellent gas-sensing properties at the optimum working temperature of 240 °C. The sensitivity of as-prepared sensor to 100 ppm isopropanol is 31 and its response and recovery time is as fast as 6 and 17 s. The logarithmic curves of the sensitivity and concentration of BiFeO3 sensors are a very good linear in the low detection range of 2–100 ppm. In addition, the gas sensing mechanism is also discussed. The results suggest that the BiFeO3 nanomaterial can be potentially applied in isopropanol gas detection.

Abstract In this paper, MoO3/MoSe2 n-n heterostructure was constructed for fabricating trimethylamine (TMA) gas sensor by an improved hydrothermal and spin-coating method. The surface morphology and microstructure of the prepared materials were analyzed by XRD, XPS, SEM and TEM characterization methods. The microstructural characterization results demonstrated that the MoO3/MoSe2 heterostructure had been successfully synthesized, in which the MoSe2 had a flower-shaped structure, and MoO3 had a rod-shaped structure. At the same time, the MoSe2 surface exhibited periodic honeycomb structure. The gas-sensitivity experimental results showed that the proposed MoO3/MoSe2 sensor had excellent TMA sensing performance at room temperature, including high response capability, low detection limit (20 ppb), short response/recovery time (12 s/19 s), long-term stability, good repeatability and outstanding selectivity. The heterostructure of MoO3/MoSe2 had made outstanding contributions to the enhanced TMA gas sensing performance at room temperature.

A carbon nanotube/Fe3O4 thin film-based wireless passive gas sensor with better performance is proposed. The sensitive test mechanism of LC (Inductance and capacitance resonant) wireless sensors is analyzed and the reason for choosing Fe3O4 as a gas sensing material is explained. The design and fabrication process of the sensor and the testing method are introduced. Experimental results reveal that the proposed carbon nanotube (CNT)/Fe3O4 based sensor performs well on sensing ammonia (NH3) at room temperature. The sensor exhibits not only an excellent response, good selectivity, and fast response and recovery times at room temperature, but is also characterized by good repeatability and low cost. The results for the wireless gas sensor’s performance for different NH3 gas concentrations are presented. The developed device is promising for the establishment of wireless gas sensors in harsh environments.

In this paper a novel type of a highly sensitive gas sensor device based on the surface photovoltage effect is described. It is based on the Kelvin probe approach. Porous ZnO nanostructured thin films deposited by the direct current (DC) reactive magnetron sputtering method are used as the active gas sensing electrode material. Crucially, the obtained gas sensing material exhibited a nanocoral surface morphology and surface Zn to O non-stoichiometry with respect to its bulk mass. Among other responses, the demonstrated SPV gas sensor device exhibits a high response to an NO2 concentration as low as 1 ppm, with a signal to noise ratio of about 50 and a fast response time of several seconds under room temperature conditions.

Composite Sensor

Few studies have investigated the gas-sensing properties of graphene oxide/titanium dioxide (GO/TiO2) composite combined with photocatalytic effect. Room temperature gas-sensing properties of the GO/TiO2 composite were investigated towards various reducing gases. The composite sensor showed an enhanced gas response and a faster recovery time than a pure GO sensor due to the synergistic effect of the hybridization, such as creation of a hetero-junction at the interface and modulation of charge carrier density. However, the issue of long-term stability at room temperature still remains unsolved even after construction of a composite structure. To address this issue, the surface and hetero-junction of the GO/TiO2 composite were engineered via a UV process. A photocatalytic effect of TiO2 induced the reduction of the GO phase in the composite solution. The comparison of gas-sensing properties before and after the UV process clearly showed the transition from n-type to p-type gas-sensing behavior toward reducing gases. This transition revealed that the dominant sensing material is GO, and TiO2 enhanced the gas reaction by providing more reactive sites. With a UV-treated composite sensor, the function of identifying target gas was maintained over a one-month period, showing strong resistance to humidity.
