CO2 sensing at room temperature: the interaction of CO2 and H2O with copper oxide nanoparticles results in reversible formation of basic carbonates. This phenomenon is the key reaction for the work function readout based CO2 sensing which enables the prospects towards low power and low cost gas sensors.

Arrays of vertically well aligned ZnO nanorods (NRs) were prepared on nanostructured ZnO films using a low temperature hydrothermal method. We propose the use of the low cost, environmentally friendly electrophoretic deposition technique (EPD) as seeding procedure, which allows the obtaining of homogeneous, well oriented nanostructured ZnO thin films. ZnO nanorod arrays were covered with graphite in order to prepare graphite/ZnO NRs junctions. These nanostructured junctions showed promising current-voltage rectifying characteristics and gas sensing properties at room temperature.

AbstractThe Internet of things for environment monitoring requires high performance with low power-consumption gas sensors which could be easily integrated into large-scale sensor network. While semiconductor gas sensors have many advantages such as excellent sensitivity and low cost, their application is limited by their high operating temperature. Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials, typically molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets, are emerging as promising gas-sensing materials candidates owing to their abundant edge sites and high in-plane carrier mobility. This work aims to overcome the sluggish and weak response as well as incomplete recovery of MoS2 gas sensors at room temperature by sensitizing MoS2 nanosheets with PbS quantum dots (QDs). The huge amount of surface dangling bonds of QDs enables them to be ideal receptors for gas molecules. The sensitized MoS2 gas sensor exhibited fast and recoverable response when operated at room temperature, and the limit of NO2 detection was estimated to be 94 ppb. The strategy of sensitizing 2D nanosheets with sensitive QD receptors may enhance receptor and transducer functions as well as the utility factor that determine the sensor performance, offering a powerful new degree of freedom to the surface and interface engineering of semiconductor gas sensors.

The aim of present study is based on low cost, efficient, non-toxic and eco-friendly method for green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) using Bougainvillea leaves aqueous extract. The green synthesized nanoparticles were subjected to characterization techniques UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The synthesized CuONPs were pure, predominantly spherical with sizes ranges from 8-20 nm. CuONPs showed excellent antimicrobial activity against various bacterial strains Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, E. coli and E. faecalis exhibited the highest sensitivity to CuONPs while Staphylococcus aureus was the least sensitive. Possible mechanisms of antimicrobial activity of CuONPs should be further investigated.
