A highly sensitive NH3 gas sensor based on micrometer-sized polyaniline (PANI) spheres was successfully fabricated. The PANI microspheres were prepared via a facile in situ chemical oxidation polymerization in a polystyrene microsphere dispersion solution, resulting in a core–shell structure. The sensor response increased as the diameter of the microspheres increased. The PSt@PANI(4.5) sensor, which had microspheres with a 4.5 μm average diameter, showed the largest response value of 77 for 100 ppm dry NH3 gas at 30 °C, which was 20 times that of the PANI-deposited film-based sensor. Even considering measurement error, the calculated detection limit was 46 ppb. A possible reason for why high sensitivity was achieved is simply the use of micrometer-sized PANI spherical particles. This research succeeded in providing a new and simple technology for developing a high-sensitivity NH3 gas sensor that operates at room temperature.

A two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 )-based gas sensor was decorated with Pt nanoparticles (NPs) for high sensitivity and low limit of detection (LOD) for specific gases (NH 3 and H 2 S). The two-dimensional MoS 2 film was grown at 400°C using metal organic gas vapour deposition. To fabricate the MoS 2 gas sensor, an interdigitated Au/Ti electrode was deposited using the electron beam (e-beam) evaporation method with a stencil mask. The MoS 2 gas sensor without metal decoration sensitively detects NH 3 and H 2 S gas down to 2.5 and 30 ppm, respectively, at room temperature (RT). However, for improved detection of NH 3 and H 2 S gas, we investigated the functionalization strategy using metal decoration. Pt NP decoration modulated the electronic properties of MoS 2 , significantly improving the sensitivity of NH 3 and H 2 S gas by 5.58× and 4.25×, respectively, compared with the undecorated MoS 2 gas sensor under concentrations of 70 ppm. Furthermore, the Pt NP-decorated MoS 2 sensor had lower LODs for NH 3 and H 2 S gas of 130 ppb and 5 ppm, respectively, at RT.

High sensitivity Tin (IV) (Sn) - doped zinc oxide (ZnO) humidity sensor was deposited using sol-gel immersion method. The Sn-doped sample was deposited on glass substrate and undoped sample was also prepared to seem the improvement made through doping process. The analyses showed that the sensor’s morphology has become more porous and having lower average diameter of nanorods, high conductivity and higher response, recovery time, and sensitivity. The sensitivity of the sensor increased from 2 to 4 by doping with Sn.

AgCl@polypyrrole(PPy) nanocomposites were synthesized through in situ chemical oxidation polymerization by using poly(vinylpyrrolidane) (PVP) as dispersant, and some Au colloid were prepared by using KBH4 as reductant and sodium citrate as stabilizer, then the Au nanoparticles-AgCl@PPy hybrid material was formed by physical chemical reaction. Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and electron dispersive spectrometer (EDS) data suggested that the hybrid material were composed of Au, AgCl and PPy. An amperometric glucose biosensor was fabricated by adsorbing glucose oxidase (GOx) to an Au nanoparticles-AgCl@PPy hybrid material modified platinum electrode. The biosensor exhibited a super highly sensitive response to H2O2.

Vanadium oxide nanotubes were synthesized via a rheological self-assembling process followed by a hydrothermal reaction. V2O5 gas sensors were fabricated from vanadium oxide nanotubess with an average diameter of around 90 nm and their gas-sensing properties were investigated. It was found that the sensors based on vanadium oxide nanotubes exhibit high responses ethanol gas at 270°C. The results indicate that vanadium oxide nanotube sensors will be promising candidates for practical detectors for ethanol.
