ABSTRACTWe have prepared polypyrrole (PPy) / MoO3 nanohybrid thin films and evaluated their volatile organic compound (VOC) gas sensing properties. The (PPy)xMoO3 thin films have been prepared by intercalation reactions of highly oriented MoO3 thin films. Intercalation of hydrated sodium ions successfully proceeded without loosing the crystallographic orientation. The (PPy)xMoO3 thin films was obtained by replacing the hydrated sodium ions with PPy. The (PPy)xMoO3 thin films can detect formaldehyde gas by increasing in their electrical resistance, whereas they showed no response to toluene.

In this paper, the experimental data of CO, CO2 and total volatile organic compound (TVOC) concentration in a residential kitchen are presented. Based on them, a simulation software with friendly and simply operating interfaceis is developed on the platform of VC++. The distribution law of the contaminants is studied via the simulation results, and it is obvious that location of accumulation of the contaminants are highly relevant to the location of stove and closer to the walls. An addition natural air makeup system is proposed to improve indoor airenvironment in kitchens, the effection of the air makeup system is analyzed with exergy theory.

Highly sensitive and selective gas and volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor platforms with fast response and recovery kinetics are in high demand for environmental health monitoring, industry, and medical diagnostics. Among the various categories of gas sensors studied to date, field effect transistors (FETs) have proved to be an extremely efficient platform due to their miniaturized form factor, high sensitivity, and ultra-low power consumption. Despite the advent of various kinds of new materials, silicon (Si) still enjoys the advantages of excellent and reproducible electronic properties and compatibility with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technologies for integrated multiplexing and signal processing. This review gives an overview of the recent developments in Si FETs for gas and VOC sensing. We categorised the Si FETs into Si nanowire (NW) FETs; planar Si FETs, in which the Si channel is either a part of the silicon on insulator (SOI) or the bulk Si, as in conventional FETs; and electrostatically formed nanowire (EFN) FETs. The review begins with a brief introduction, followed by a description of the Si NW FET gas and VOC sensors. A brief description of the various fabrication strategies of Si NWs and the several functionalisation methods to improve the sensing performances of Si NWs are also provided. Although Si NW FETs have excellent sensing properties, they are far from practical realisation due to the extensive fabrication procedures involved, along with other issues that are critically assessed briefly. Then, we describe planar Si FET sensors, which are much closer to real-world implementation. Their simpler device architecture combined with excellent sensing properties enable them as an efficient platform for gas sensing. The third category, the EFN FET sensors, proved to be another potential platform for gas sensing due to their intriguing properties, which are elaborated in detail. Finally, the challenges and future opportunities for gas sensing are addressed.
