No2 Detection

The unique properties of MoS2 nanosheets make them a promising candidate for high-performance room temperature gas detection. Herein, few-layer MoS2 nanosheets (FLMN) prepared via mechanical exfoliation are coated on a substrate with interdigital electrodes for room-temperature NO2 detection. Interestingly, compared with other NO2 gas sensors based on MoS2, FLMN gas sensors exhibit high responsivity for room-temperature NO2 detection, and NO2 is easily desorbed from the sensor surface with an ultrafast recovery behavior, with recovery times around 2 s. The high responsivity is related to the fact that the adsorbed NO2 can affect the electron states within the entire material, which is attributed to the very small thickness of the MoS2 nanosheets. First-principles calculations were carried out based on the density functional theory (DFT) to verify that the ultrafast recovery behavior arises from the weak van der Waals binding between NO2 and the MoS2 surface. Our work suggests that FLMN prepared via mechanical exfoliation have a great potential for fabricating high-performance NO2 gas sensors.

Abstract Ablative, trowelable rocket insulation was prepared; it crosslinks at room temperature and self-bonds to prevulcanized NBR insulation. The material loss rate (MLR) of this insulation is low when it is tested by an oxyacetylene torch at temperatures of about 2800°C. Boric acid in the insulation causes an effective char to form at service temperature. This char slows the loss rate of nondegraded insulation beneath it. Density of this nondegraded insulation is 1.3 g/cm3. Density is reduced sharply to 0.8 g/cm3 by incorporating glass microballoons. They cause only a slight increase in MLR of the insulation at service temperatures. MLR can be significantly reduced by incorporating a blowing agent which decomposes only after the insulation is exposed to service temperature. Hence, an unusual combination of requirements is met by several novel approaches. This insulation has protected rockets as large as 6.6 meters in diameter from the intense heat of burning propellant in service.

Gas sensors are fundamental for continuous online monitoring of volatile organic compounds. Gas sensors based on semiconductor materials have demonstrated to be highly competitive, but are generally made of expensive materials and operate at high temperatures, which are drawbacks of these technologies. Herein is described a novel ethanol sensor for room temperature (25 °C) measurements based on hematite (α‑Fe2O3)/silver nanoparticles. The AgNPs were shown to increase the oxide semiconductor charge carrier density, but especially to enhance the ethanol adsorption rate boosting the selectivity and sensitivity, thus allowing quantification of ethanol vapor in 2–35 mg L−1 range with an excellent linear relationship. In addition, the α-Fe2O3/Ag 3.0 wt% nanocomposite is cheap, and easy to make and process, imparting high perspectives for real applications in breath analyzers and/or sensors in food and beverage industries. This work contributes to the advance of gas sensing at ambient temperature as a competitive alternative for quantification of conventional volatile organic compounds.
