This study reports the employment of Co(OH)xF2−x nanosheets, a new material in the sensor field, for gas sensor applications. We synthesize Co(OH)xF2−x nanosheets via a hydrothermal route using SiO2 sphere templates. Our material characterization confirms that the material is a densely clustered Co(OH)xF2−x nanosheet with an amorphous microstructure with some short-range ordering. Sensors based on the nanosheets demonstrate a high response of 269% toward 4.5 ppm of acetone gas at an operation temperature of 200 °C and a very low minimum detection limit of 40 ppb. It functions effectively up to a temperature below 300 °C, above which F is found to start to evaporate. Our discussion suggests that an excellent sensor performance arises from the high catalytic function of F incorporated in a high concentration in the material as well as the high specific surface area due to the morphology of densely clustered nanosheets.

Convenient and scalable single step flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) synthesis of bimetal AuPd sensitized nanocrystalline SnO2 for gas sensor application is reported. The materials chemical composition, structure and morphology has been studied by XRD, XPS, HAADFSTEM, BET, ICP-MS techniques as well as thermo-programmed reduction with hydrogen (TPR-H2). Superior gas sensor response of bimetal modified SnO2 towards wide concentration range of reducing (CO, CH4, C3H8, H2S, NH3) and oxidizing (NO2) gases compared to pure and monometallic modified SnO2 is reported. The observed enhanced gas sensor performance is concluded to arise from combination of facilitated oxygen molecule spillover on gold particles and electronic effect of Fermi level control by reoxidizing Pd-PdO clusters, homogeneously distributed over SnO2 particles surface.

We investigated sensing properties on NOx (g) of single tellurium (Te) nanoribbon-based nanodevices. The synthesized Te nanoribbons were aligned at well-defined locations using a lithographically patterned nanowire electrodeposition (LPNE) technique. The shape and length were feasibly modified by the designed lithographical pattern, and the width was tailored by the applied electrochemical parameters. Temperature-dependent electrical resistance was analyzed with as-synthesized and annealed Te nanoribbons in the temperature ranging from 15 K to 300 K, where the calculated thermal activation energies of as-synthesized and annealed Te nanoribbons were 35.7 meV and 19.2 meV, respectively. Room-temperature sensor performance of as-synthesized and annealed single Te nanoribbons on detecting NOx (g) was investigated as a function of the tailored concentration of NOx (g). Compared to a sensitivity of 16±2.9% on detecting NOx (g) of 10 ppm in the as-synthesized single Te nanoribbon sensor aligned between Au/Cr electrodes, the sensitivity of 21±3.2% on detecting NOx (g) of 10 ppm at room temperature was demonstrated by single Te nanoribbon-based sensor annealed at 200oC for 1 hour in 5 % H2/N2 (g). The effects of annealing on sensing properties have demonstrated the improved sensitivity in the annealed Te nanoribbons..
