Abstract
This study reports the synthesis of CdS/WS2 composites via a green and ultra-low-cost hydrothermal method. By controlling the relative mass ratio between WS2 and CdS, an n-n type CdS/WS2 heterostructure, with excellent NH3 gas-sensitive properties, was developed and investigated at room temperature. Compared with pristine WS2 and CdS, the CdS/WS2-40%wt composite exhibited excellent selectivity of more than 4 orders of magnitude for sensing NH3, a very short recovery time of 3 s, and ultrahigh selectivity at room temperature. The large specific surface area of the CdS/WS2 composite increased the active sites for the gas-sensitive reaction. Additionally, the 2D morphology of CdS/WS2 and the heterojunction formed between WS2 and CdS contributed to the improved performance. Anti-humidity interference tests showed that the CdS/WS2 sample remained stable under real-time monitoring of NH3 at different ambient humidity values. This study paves the way for designing high-performance gas sensors operating at room temperature.

Selective detection of trace carbon monoxide at room temperature based on CuO nanosheets exposed to (111) crystal facets. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 442:130041.

Abstract
In recent years, carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication incidents occur frequently, and the sensitive detection of CO is particularly significant. At present, most reported carbon monoxide (CO) sensors meet the disadvantage of high working temperature. It is always a challenge to realize the sensitive detection of carbon monoxide at room temperature. In this study, CuO nanosheets exposed more (111) active crystal facets and oxygen vacancy defects were synthesized by a simple and environmentally friendly one-step hydrothermal method. The sensor has good comprehensive gas sensing performance, compared with other sensors that can detect CO at room temperature. The response value to 100 ppm CO at room temperature is as high as 39.6. In addition, it also has excellent selectivity, low detection limit (100 ppb), good reproducibility, moisture resistance and long-term stability (60 days). This excellent gas sensing performance is attributed to the special structural characteristics of 2D materials and the synergistic effect of more active crystal facets exposed on the crystal surface and oxygen vacancy defects. Therefore, it is expected to become a promising sensitive material for rapid and accurate detection of trace CO gas under low energy consumption, reduce the risk of poisoning, and then effectively protect human life safety.

Abstract
Graphene's inherent nonselectivity and strong atmospheric doping render most graphene-based sensors unsuitable for atmospheric applications in environmental monitoring of pollutants and breath detection of biomarkers for noninvasive medical diagnosis. Hence, demonstrations of graphene's gas sensitivity are often in inert environments such as nitrogen, consequently of little practical relevance. Herein, target gas sensing at the graphene-activated carbon interface of a graphene-nanopored activated carbon molecular-sieve sensor obtained via the postlithographic pyrolysis of Novolac resin residues on graphene nanoribbons is shown to simultaneously induce ammonia selectivity and atmospheric passivation of graphene. Consequently, 500 parts per trillion (ppt) ammonia sensitivity in atmospheric air is achieved with a response time of ∼3 s. The similar graphene and a-C workfunctions ensure that the ambipolar and gas-adsorption-induced charge transfer characteristics of pristine graphene are retained. Harnessing the van der Waals bonding memory and electrically tunable charge-transfer characteristics of the adsorbed molecules on the graphene channel, a molecular identification technique (charge neutrality point disparity) is developed and demonstrated to be suitable even at parts per billion (ppb) gas concentrations. The selectivity and atmospheric passivation induced by the graphene-activated carbon interface enable atmospheric applications of graphene sensors in environmental monitoring and noninvasive medical diagnosis.

Abstract
An impedance-transducer sensor was developed for in situ detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in aqueous media. Using cyclic voltammetry (CV), polypyrrole (PPy) was deposited on the surface of the microfabricated interdigitated gold electrode. Due to the proton acid doping effect of H2S on PPy and ionic conduction of the film, the sensor showed a decreasing impedance response to H2S unlike other reducing chemicals, i.e., ammonia (NH3). The recorded faradaic data was then associated with an equivalent circuit and compared with that of NH3 to examine the selectivity of the sensor. An electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis was applied to the mixture of H2S and NH3 prepared at different ratios for the concentrations ranging from 2 ppm to 20 ppm (below 2-ppm, no response was observed due to the formation of NH4HS, not sensible with PPy). The principal component analysis (PCA) was used to train a real-time prediction model for both classification (for the type of the analyte) and regression (the concentration of the analyte). The results showed the high performance of the sensor in determining individual analytes while the model was able to accurately predict the amount of H2S and NH3 in the mixture.

Abstract
The cost-effective, robust, and efficient electrocatalysts for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting has been extensively studied over the past decade to address a solution for the energy crisis. The interesting physicochemical properties of CuO have introduced this promising photocathodic material among the few photocatalysts with a narrow bandgap. This photocatalyst has a high activity for the PEC hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under simulated sunlight irradiation. Here, the recent advancements of CuO-based photoelectrodes, including undoped CuO, doped CuO, and CuO composites, in the PEC water-splitting field, are comprehensively studied. Moreover, the synthesis methods, characterization, and fundamental factors of each classification are discussed in detail. Apart from the exclusive characteristics of CuO-based photoelectrodes, the PEC properties of CuO/2D materials, as groups of the growing nanocomposites in photocurrent-generating devices, are discussed in separate sections. Regarding the particular attention paid to the CuO heterostructure photocathodes, the PEC water splitting application is reviewed and the properties of each group such as electronic structures, defects, bandgap, and hierarchical structures are critically assessed.

Abstract
Seeking a facile approach to directly assemble bridged metal oxide nanowires on substrates with predefined electrodes without the need for complex postsynthesis alignment and/or device procedures will bridge the gap between fundamental research and practical applications for diverse biochemical sensing, electronic, optoelectronic, and energy storage devices. Herein, regularly bridged CuO microhemisphere nanowire arrays (RB-MNAs) are rationally designed on indium tin oxide electrodes via thermal oxidation of ordered Cu microhemisphere arrays obtained by solid-state dewetting of patterned Ag/Cu/Ag films. Both the position and spacing of CuO microhemisphere nanowires can be well controlled by as-used shadow mask and the thickness of Cu film, which allows homogeneous manipulation of the bridging of adjacent nanowires grown from neighboring CuO hemispheres, and thus benefits highly sensitive trimethylamine (TMA) sensors and broad band (UV-visible to infrared) photodetectors. The electrical response of 3.62 toward 100 ppm TMA is comparable to that of state-of-the-art CuO-based sensors. Together with the feasibility of in situ assembly of RB-MNAs device arrays via common lithographic technologies, this work promises commercial device applications of CuO nanowires.

Abstract
Self-powered sensors are crucial in the field of wearable devices and the Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper, an organ-like Ti3C2Tx MXene/metal-organic framework-derived copper oxide (CuO) gas sensor was powered by a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based on latex and polytetrafluoroethylene for the detection of ammonia (NH3) at room temperature. The peak-to-peak value of open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current generated by the prepared TENG can reach up to 810 V and 34 μA, respectively. The TENG can support a maximum peak power density of 10.84 W·m-2 and light at least 480 LEDs. Moreover, a flexible TENG under a single-electrode working mode was demonstrated for human movement stimulation, which exhibits great potential in wearable devices. The self-powered NH3 sensor driven by TENG has an excellent response (Vg/Va = 24.8 @ 100 ppm) at room temperature and exhibits a great potential in monitoring pork quality. Ti3C2Tx MXene and CuO were characterized by SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, and XPS to analyze the properties of the materials. The NH3 sensing performance of the self-powered sensor based on MXene/CuO was greatly improved, and the mechanism of the enhanced sensing properties was systematically discussed.

Effect of Zn Doping in CuO Octahedral Crystals towards Structural, Optical, and Gas Sensing Properties. CRYSTALS 2020.

Abstract
Monodispersed CuO octahedral crystals were successfully synthesized using a low-temperature co-precipitation method. Zinc doping in CuO created surface defects that enhanced oxygen adsorption on the surface crucial for gas sensing applications. Pure and Zn-doped CuO sensor films were realized using the doctor blade method. The sensor films showed selective response towards a low concentration of NO2 at a lower operating temperature of 150 °C. Doping with Zn causes the resistance of the sensor film to decrease due to the enhancement of charge carriers with an analogous improvement in the sensor response. The observed decrease in sensor resistance agreed well with the findings of the work function studies. Zinc doping resulted in an increase in work function by 180 meV which, after NO2 exposure, was found to increase by a further 130 meV, attributed to the oxidizing behavior of the test gas.

Abstract
With the continuous development and progress of materials science, increasingly more attention has been paid to the new technology of powder synthesis and material preparation. The hydrothermal method is a promising liquid phase preparation technology that has developed rapidly during recent years. It is widely used in many fields, such as the piezoelectric, ferroelectric, ceramic powder, and oxide film fields. The hydrothermal method has resulted in many new methods during the long-term research process, such as adding other force fields to the hydrothermal condition reaction system. These force fields mainly include direct current, electric, magnetic (autoclaves composed of non-ferroelectric materials), and microwave fields. Among them, the microwave hydrothermal method, as an extension of the hydrothermal reaction, cleverly uses the microwave temperature to compensate for the lack of temperature in the hydrothermal method, allowing better practical application. This paper reviews the development of the hydrothermal and microwave hydrothermal methods, introduces their reaction mechanisms, and focuses on the practical application of the two methods.

Abstract
We herein report the intrinsic alkaline peroxidase-like activity exhibited by CuO nanoparticles when 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid was employed as a substrate. Based on this observation, a fluorometric assay method with a low detection limit of 0.81 μM was established for H2O2 determination under alkaline conditions. Notably, ammonia was found to inhibit the alkaline peroxidase-like activity of the CuO nanoparticles. Thus, a sensing platform for the determination of urea and urease was successfully constructed, with the limits of detection for urea and urease being 27 μM and 2.6 U L-1, respectively. This platform was then applied for the detection of urea in human urine and urease in soil, which yielded satisfactory results. These results suggest that it is possible to extend the catalytic potential of peroxidase and its mimetics from acidic and neutral conditions to include activity in alkaline media as well. Furthermore, this strategy is a novel method for the analysis of urea and urease. The assay developed in this work is facile, inexpensive, convenient, and highly selective and sensitive. Therefore, it is expected that this system can serve as a template for the development of similar enzyme nano-mimics.

Abstract
Tuning sensing capabilities of simple to complex oxides for achieving enhanced sensitivity and selectivity toward the detection of toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is extremely important and remains a challenge. In the present work, we report the synthesis of pristine and Ce-doped CuO hollow nanostructures, which have much higher VOC sensing and response characteristics than their solid analogues. Undoped CuO hollow nanostructures exhibit high response for sensing of acetone as compared to commercial CuO nanoparticles. As a result of doping with cerium, the material starts showing selectivity. CuO hollow structures doped with 5 at. % of Ce return highest response toward methanol sensing, whereas increasing the Ce doping concentration to 10%, the material shows high response for both-acetone and methanol. The observed tunability in selectivity is directly linked to the varying concentration of the oxygen defects on the surface of the nanostructures. The work also shows that the use of hollow nanostructures could be the way forward for obtaining high-performance sensors even by using conventional and simple metal or semiconductor oxides.

Abstract
SnO₂/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) composites were synthesized via a facile solid-state method by using SnCl₄·5H₂O and urea as the precursor. The structure and morphology of the as-synthesized composites were characterized by the techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and N₂ sorption. The results indicated that the composites possessed a two-dimensional (2-D) structure, and the SnO₂ nanoparticles were highly dispersed on the surface of the g-C₃N₄ nanosheets. The gas-sensing performance of the samples to ethanol was tested, and the SnO₂/g-C₃N₄ nanocomposite-based sensor exhibited admirable properties. The response value (Ra/Rg) of the SnO₂/g-C₃N₄ nanocomposite with 10 wt % 2-D g-C₃N₄ content-based sensor to 500 ppm of ethanol was 550 at 300 °C. However, the response value of pure SnO₂ was only 320. The high surface area of SnO₂/g-C₃N₄-10 (140 m²·g-1) and the interaction between 2-D g-C₃N₄ and SnO₂ could strongly affect the gas-sensing property.

The analysis results indicated that the as-synthesized samples possess the two dimensional structure. Additionally, the SnO₂ nanoparticles were highly dispersed on the surface of the g-C₃N₄ nanosheets. The gas-sensing performance of the as-synthesized composites for different gases was tested. Moreover, the composite with 7 wt % g-C₃N₄ content (SnO₂/g-C₃N₄-7) exhibits an admirable gas-sensing property to ethanol, which possesses a higher response and better selectivity than that of the pure SnO2-based sensor. The high surface area of the SnO2/g-C3N4 composite and the good electronic characteristics of the two dimensional graphitic carbon nitride are in favor of the elevated gas-sensing property.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to summarize the recent progress in the fabrication of efficient nanostructured polymer-based sensors with special focus on polypyrrole. The correlation between physico-chemical parameters, mainly morphology of various polypyrrole nanostructures, and their sensitivity towards selected gas and volatile organic compounds (VOC) is provided. The different approaches of polypyrrole modification with other functional materials are also discussed. With respect to possible sensors application in medicine, namely in the diagnosis of diseases via the detection of volatile biomarkers from human breath, the sensor interaction with humidity is described as well. The major attention is paid to analytes such as ammonia and various alcohols.
