Low power gas sensors with high sensitivity and selectivity are desired for many practical applications. Devices based on organic field effect transistors are promising because they can be fabricated at modest cost and are low power devices. Organic field effect transistors fabricated in bottom-gate bottom-contact configuration using the organic semiconductor [2,5-(2-octyldodecyl)-3,6-diketopyrrolopyrrole-alt-5,5-(2,5-di(thien-2-yl)thieno] [3,2-b]thiophene) (DPP-T-TT) were systematically investigated to determine the response characteristics to a series of alkylamines and ammonia. The highest sensitivity was to dibutylamine with a limit of detection of 0.025 ppb, followed by n-butylamine, 0.056 ppb, and ammonia, 2.17 ppb. A model was constructed based on the Antoine equation that successfully allows the empirical prediction of the sensitivity and selectivity of the gas sensor to various analytes including amines and alcohols based on the Antoine C parameter and the heat of the vaporization of the analyte.

Abstract. To fulfil today's requirements, gas sensors have to become more and more sensitive and selective. Temperature-cycled operation has long been used to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of metal-oxide semiconductor gas sensors and, more recently, silicon-carbide-based, gas-sensitive field-effect transistors (SiC-FETs). In this work, we present a novel method to significantly enhance the effect of gate bias on a SiC-FET's response, giving rise to new possibilities for static and transient signal generation and, thus, increased sensitivity and selectivity. A tungsten trioxide (WO3) layer is deposited via pulsed laser deposition as an oxide layer beneath a porous iridium gate, and is doped with 0.1 AT % of lithium cations. Tests with ammonia as a well-characterized model gas show a relaxation effect with a time constant between 20 and 30 s after a gate bias step as well as significantly increased response and sensitivity at +2 V compared to 0 V. We propose an electric field-mediated change in oxygen surface coverage as the cause of this novel effect.

Abstract Polymers with excellent dielectric and electret capabilities are crucial for energy storage films, organic electronics and environmental filtrations. Nanocomposites is an emerging effective method, but the characteristics of complicated preparation, poor uniformity and high cost restrict its massive and practical applications. Here, we propose a gradient copolymerization strategy with controllable micro-phase interfaces for dielectric capability modulation, and gradient ethylene-styrene copolymer (PESt) exhibits extraordinarily enhanced dielectric, electrical insulating and electret properties against polyethylene and polystyrene. PESt exhibits a dielectric energy density towards 23 J·cm− 3, far exceeding commercially applied polymers and is comparable to nano-composites. By applying PESt as electret layer in organic field-effect transistors, largely enhanced memory window, optimized stability and field-effect mobility over 27 cm2·V− 1·s− 1 are achieved. Finally, PESt electret is employed in environmental filtrations with 20% enhancement in filtration efficiency. The simplicity and processability of gradient copolymerization against nano-composite, further suggest its potential in designing high-performance dielectric/electret polymers.
