In this paper, carbon aerogel (CA)-polyaniline (PANI) composites were prepared and first applied in the study of H2S gas sensing. Here, 1 and 3 wt% of as-obtained CA powder were blended with PANI to produce composites, which are denoted by PANI-CA-1 and PANI-CA-3, respectively. For the H2S gas-sensing studies, the interdigitated electrode (IDE) was spin-coated by performing PANI and PANI-CA composite dispersion. The H2S gas-sensing properties were studied in terms of the sensor’s sensitivity, selectivity and repeatability. IDE coated with PANI-CA composites, as compared with pristine PANI, achieved higher sensor sensitivity, higher selectivity and good repeatability. Moreover, composites that contain higher loading of CA (e.g., 3 wt%) perform better than composites with lower loading of CA. At 1 ppm, PANI-CA-3 displayed increased sensitivity of 452% at relative humidity of 60% with a fast average response time of 1 s compared to PANI.

The ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by Nucleation-Crystallization Separation and co-precipitation. The structures and formed phase temperature of the samples were researched by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and DSC -TGA. Gas sensing properties of the samples were measured by a stationary state gas distribution method under static state. The results show that the ZnO prepared from Nucleation-Crystallization Separation has a higher response to 50 ppm ethanol and gasoline than ZnO prepared from co-precipitation. The sensitivity of ZnO prepared from Nucleation-Crystallization Separation to 50 ppm ethanol and gasoline are 34 and 68, which is better than the sensitivity of ZnO prepared from co-precipitation (17 and 28). The good sensing property may be due to the independence of nucleation and crystallization steps, which helps the more uniformity and thermal stability and the larger space utilization of ZnO particles.

In this work the ozone detection in flexible substrate has been investigated. The flexible test platform with an integrated heater was designed and then characterized by thermal simulations using finite elements and its electrical properties have been studied. ZnO nanoparticles were deposited by drop coating process on the flexible substrate with platinum interdigited electrodes for gas detection. The gas sensing properties were determined by ozone exposure at different concentrations and temperatures. The gas sensing measurements present good response at different gas concentrations, good repeatability and fast recovery.

The highly sensitive and rapid NO gas sensor was prepared with polyaniline/TiO2/carbon nanotube composites. Aniline was polymerized on the surface of carbon nanotube (p-type semiconductor) with embedding TiO2. The gas sensing property was measured by the changes of electrical resistance without or with UV irradiation to investigate the photodegradation of NO by TiO2. The photo-degraded products such as HNO2, NO2, and HNO3, which were adsorbed on the PANi-coated carbon nanotubes, resulted in the decreased electrical resistance in the p-type semiconductors of carbon nanotube and polyaniline. The advantages of TiO2photocatalyst in gas sensing were apparent in the improvement in both sensitivity and response rate.

High performance formaldehyde gas sensors are widely needed for indoor air quality monitoring. A modified layer of zeolite on the surface of metal oxide semiconductors results in selectivity improvement to formaldehyde as gas sensors. However, there is insufficient knowledge on how the thickness of the zeolite layer affects the gas sensing properties. In this paper, ZSM-5 zeolite films were coated on the surface of the SnO2 gas sensors by the screen printing method. The thickness of ZSM-5 zeolite films was controlled by adjusting the numbers of screen printing layers. The influence of ZSM-5 film thickness on the performance of ZSM-5/SnO2 gas sensors was studied. The results showed that the ZSM-5/SnO2 gas sensors with a thickness of 19.5 μm greatly improved the selectivity to formaldehyde, and reduced the response to ethanol, acetone and benzene at 350 °C. The mechanism of the selectivity improvement to formaldehyde of the sensors was discussed.
