Abstract
Herein, we report a simple and scalable synthesis route to prepare Ag-functionalized porous ZnO sheets and their enhanced NO2 gas sensing properties. Porous ZnO sheets functionalized with well-dispersed submicron Ag particles were prepared by using a hydrothermal method-based one-pot synthesis route from Zn and Ag precursors. NO2 gas sensing performance (response, selectivity, response time, and recovery time) was optimized at 200°C in the gas sensor fabricated with 3 at% Ag-functionalized porous ZnO sheets. We demonstrated a response (
/
) of 17.18 to 10 ppm NO2 gas and also obtained a high response of 14.05 even at 60% relative humidity due to the synergetic effect of improved NO2 gas adsorption in the presence of Ag particles and increased resistance by the formation of Schottky barrier at Ag-ZnO heterojunctions.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemical water-splitting offers unique opportunity in the utilization of abundant solar light energy and water resources to produce hydrogen (renewable energy) and oxygen (clean environment) in the presence of a semiconductor photoanode. Zinc oxide (ZnO), a wide bandgap semiconductor is found to crystallize predominantly in the hexagonal wurtzite phase. Herein, we first report a new crystalline triclinic phase of ZnO by using N-rich antidiabetic drug metformin as a template via hydrothermal synthesis with self-assembled nanorod-like particle morphology. We have fabricated a heterojunction nanocomposite charge carrier photoanode by coupling this porous ZnO with a covalent organic framework, which displayed highly enhanced photocurrent density of 0.62 mA/cm2 at 0.2 V vs. RHE in photoelectrochemical water oxidation and excellent photon-to-current conversion efficiency at near-neutral pH vis-à-vis bulk ZnO. This enhancement of the photocurrent for the porous ZnO/COF nanocomposite material over the corresponding bulk ZnO could be attributed to the visible light energy absorption by COF and subsequent efficient charge-carrier mobility via porous ZnO surface.

Abstract
Owing to its excellent physical and chemical properties, ZnO has been considered to be a promising material for development of NO2 sensors with high sensitivity, and fast response and recovery. However, due to the low activity of ZnO at low temperature, most of the current work is focused on detecting NO2 at high operating temperatures (200-500 °C), which will inevitably increase energy consumption and shorten the lifetime of sensors. In order to overcome these problems and improve the practicality of ZnO-based NO2 sensors, it is necessary to systematically understand the effective strategies and mechanisms of low-temperature NO2 detection of ZnO sensors. This paper reviews the latest research progress of low-temperature ZnO nanomaterial-based NO2 gas sensors. Several efficient strategies to achieve low-temperature NO2 detection (such as morphology modification, noble metal decoration, additive doping, heterostructure sensitization, two-dimensional material composites, and light activation) and corresponding sensing mechanisms (such as depletion layer theory, grain boundary barrier theory, spill-over effects) are also introduced. Finally, the challenges and future development directions of low-temperature ZnO-based NO2 sensors are outlined.

Abstract
We report an amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO)-based toxic gas detection system. The microsystem contains an IGZO thin-film transistor (TFT) as a sensing element and exhibits remarkable selectivity and sensitivity to low concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2). In contrast to existing metal oxide-based gas sensors, which are active either at high temperature or with light activation, the developed IGZO TFT sensor is operable at room temperature and requires only visible light activation to revive the sensor after exposure to NO2. Furthermore, we demonstrate air-stable sensors with an experimental limit of detection of 100 ppb. This is the first report on metal oxide TFT gas sensors without heating or continuous light activation. Unlike most existing gas sensing systems that take care of identifying the analytes alone, the developed IGZO microsystem not only quantifies NO2 gas concentration but also yields a 5-bit digital output. The compact microsystem, incorporating readout and analog-to-digital conversion modules developed using only two TFTs, paves the way for inexpensive toxic gas monitoring systems.
