Published: December 2021

Beginning with LaFeO, a prominent perovskite-structured material used in the field of gas sensing, various perovskite-structured materials were prepared using sol-gel technique. The composition was systematically modified by replacing La with Sm and Gd, or Fe with Cr, Mn, Co, and Ni. The materials synthesized are comparable in grain size and morphology. DC resistance measurements performed on gas sensors reveal Fe-based compounds solely demonstrated effective sensing performance of acetylene and ethylene. Operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy shows the sensing mechanism is dependent on semiconductor properties of such materials, and that surface reactivity plays a key role in the sensing response. The replacement of A-site with various lanthanoid elements conserves surface reactivity of AFeO, while changes at the B-site of LaBO lead to alterations in sensor surface chemistry.

Rational design of heterostructure (HS)-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) smart gas sensors for efficient and accurate subppm level ammonia (NH) detection at room temperature (RT) is of great significance in environmental protection and human safety. This study introduced a novel HS composed of an AlN-based SAW resonator and CuO nanoparticles (NPs) as a chemical interface for NH detection at RT (∼26 °C). The structural, morphological, and chemical compositions were detailly investigated, which demonstrates that the CuO/AlN HS was successfully formed via interfacial modulation.

In this first-principles study, we simulate the adsorption of SOF and SOF molecules on the pristine, Cu- and Rh-doped PdSe monolayer, in order to explore their potentials as novel gas sensors for status evaluation of the SF-insulation devices. Single Cu or Rh atom is doped by the replacement of a Se atom within the PdSe surface, with the formation energy of 0.40 and -0.

Insights into the adsorption mechanisms of VOCs molecules on non-oxidized and oxidized SnO (110) monolayer: DFT analysis.

Laboratory of Nanostructures and Advanced Materials, Mechanics and Thermofluids, Faculty of Sciences and Technologies, Hassan II University of Casablanca, B.P 146, 20650, Mohammedia, Morocco.

Context: Designing efficient sensitive materials for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as ethanol, acetone, and benzene is stringent owing to the significant environmental and health risks induced by these compounds, in addition to their role as biomarkers for chronic diseases and food quality. This study investigates the adsorption mechanisms of VOC molecules (ethanol, acetone, and benzene) on both non-oxidized and oxidized SnO (110) monolayers and identifies the most suitable surface for gas sensing applications. For this, we examined structural properties, adsorption energies, density of states, gas responses, and recovery times.

Whispering-gallery mode sensor based on coupling of tapered two-mode fiber and glass capillary.

Rev Sci Instrum

January 2025

A novel whispering-gallery mode (WGM) sensor is fabricated by coupling a tapered two-mode fiber and a glass capillary. By utilizing the relatively large orifice of glass capillaries, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and magnetic fluid are directly injected into two WGM structured glass capillaries, respectively, allowing these materials to substantially interact with the light field of the WGM, thereby achieving temperature, pressure, and magnetic field measurements. λ1 and λ2 are the two resonant peak wavelengths of the WGM after injecting PDMS into a glass capillary.
