Semiconducting Metal Oxides

The understanding of the fundamental properties and processes of chemoresistive gas sensors based on semiconducting metal oxides is driven by the available characterization techniques and sophisticated approaches used to identify structure-function-relationships. This article summarizes trends and advances in the characterization of gas sensing materials based on semiconducting metal oxides, giving a unique overview of the state of the art methodology used in this field. The focus is set on spectroscopic techniques, but the presented concepts apply to other characterization methods, such as electronic, imaging or diffraction-based techniques. The presented concepts are relevant for academic research as well as for improving R&D approaches in industry.

Ammonia Gas Sensors

: This review paper encompasses a study of metal-oxide and their composite based gas sensors used for the detection of ammonia (NH3) gas. Metal-oxide has come into view as an encouraging choice in the gas sensor industry. This review paper focuses on the ammonia sensing principle of the metal oxides. It also includes various approaches adopted for increasing the gas sensitivity of metal-oxide sensors. Increasing the sensitivity of the ammonia gas sensor includes size effects and doping by metal or other metal oxides which will change the microstructure and morphology of the metal oxides. Different parameters that affect the performances like sensitivity, stability, and selectivity of gas sensors are discussed in this paper. Performances of the most operated metal oxides with strengths and limitations in ammonia gas sensing application are reviewed. The challenges for the development of high sensitive and selective ammonia gas sensor are also discussed.

H2s Detection

H2S gas is a toxic and hazardous byproduct of the oil and gas industries. It paralyzes the olfactory nerves, with concentrations above 100 ppm, resulting in loss of smell; prolonged inhalation may even cause death. One of the most important semiconducting metal oxides for the detection of H2S is CuxO (x = 1, 2), which is converted to CuxS upon exposure to H2S, leading to a remarkable modulation in the resistance and appearance of an electrical sensing signal. In this review, various morphologies of CuxO in the pristine form, composites of CuxO with other materials, and decoration/doping of noble metals on CuxO nanostructures for the reliable detection of H2S gas are thoroughly discussed. With an emphasis to the detection mechanism of CuxO-based gas sensors, this review presents findings that are of considerable value as a reference.

SnO2 is an n-type semiconductor with the band gap energy of 3.6 eV. It has been widely studied for gas sensing applications, the sensitivity of which can be easily tuned by the operating temperature. The presented paper is focused on the preparation and detailed characterization of the hollow SnO2 nano/microfibers suitable for gas detection sensors. Ceramic SnO2 fibers were produced by needleless electrospinning and followed by the calcination process. The characterization was performed by SEM, TEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy. The precursor PVP/SnO2 fibers had amorphous nature. The calcination of the electro spun precursor resulted in the formation of hollow crystalline fibrous structures. The formation mechanism of hollow fibers has been described. Subsequently, a homogeneous fibrous layer was created by the spin coating method for gas sensing applications.
