[PMID: 38894323 PMCID: PMC11175211 DOI: 10.3390/s24113532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
In this work, pure phase and carbon/ZnSn(OH)6 samples were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The composite sample's structure, morphology, and functional groups were investigated by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Subsequently, ZnSn(OH)6 samples were modified with different carbon contents, and their humidity-sensing properties were investigated. The introduction of carbon increased the specific surface area of pure ZnSn(OH)6 samples, thus significantly improving the sensors' humidity sensing response. The C10-ZnSn(OH)6 sensor exhibited a high response, up to three orders of magnitude, a humidity hysteresisof 13.5%, a fast response time of 3.2 s, and a recovery time of 24.4 s. The humidity sensor's possible humidity sensing mechanism was also analyzed using the AC complex impedance puissance method with a simulated equivalent circuit. These results revealed that ZnSn(OH)6 can effectively detect ambient humidity and that the introduction of carbon significantly improves its humidity-sensing performance. The study provides an effective strategy for understanding and designing ZnSn(OH)6-based humidity sensors.

Abstract
In this study, a mixed phase ZnSn(OH)6/ZnSnO3 photocatalyst was synthesized by calcining ZHS nanostructures via rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process. The composition ratio of ZnSn(OH)6/ZnSnO3 was controlled by changing the duration of the RTA process. The obtained mixed-phase photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and physisorption analysis. Results showed that ZnSn(OH)6/ZnSnO3 photocatalyst obtained by calcining ZHS at 300 °C for 20 s displayed the best photocatalytic performance under UVC light illumination. Under optimized reaction conditions, ZHS-20 (0.125 g) demonstrated nearly complete removal (>99%) of MO dye in 150 min. Scavenger study revealed the predominant role of OH• in photocatalysis. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the ZnSn(OH)6/ZnSnO3 composites was mainly ascribed to the photosensitization of ZHS by ZTO and effective electron-hole separation at the ZnSn(OH)6/ZnSnO3 heterojunction interface. It is expected that this study will provide new research input for the development of photocatalyst through thermal annealing-induced partial phase transformation.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) detection is extremely necessary due to its hazardous nature. Thus, the design of novel sensors to detect H2S gas at low temperatures is highly desirable. In this study, a series of nanocomposites based on MoS2 octahedrons and ZnO-Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles were synthesized through the hydrothermal method. Various characterizations such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) have been used to verify the crystal phase, morphology and composition of synthesized nanocomposites. Three gas sensors based on the nanocomposites of pure ZnO-Zn2SnO4 (MS-ZNO-0), 5 wt% MoS2-ZnO-Zn2SnO4 (MS-ZNO-5) and 10 wt% MoS2-ZnO-Zn2SnO4 (MS-ZNO-10) were fabricated to check the gas sensing properties of various volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It showed that the gas sensor of (MS-ZNO-5) displayed the highest response of 4 to 2 ppm H2S and fewer responses to all other tested gases at 30 °C. The sensor of MS-ZNO-5 also displayed humble selectivity (1.6), good stability (35 days), promising reproducibility (5 cycles), rapid response/recovery times (10 s/6 s), a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.05 ppm H2S (Ra/Rg = 1.8) and an almost linear relationship between H2S concentration and response. Several elements such as the structure of MoS2, higher BET-specific surface area, n-n junction and improvement in oxygen species corresponded to improving response.

Abstract
Partial phase modification of zinc hydroxystannate (ZHS) is an effective technique for improving its light absorption capacity. In this study, a zinc hydroxystannate/zinc-tin oxide (ZHS/ZTO) heterostructure was synthesized via chemical co-precipitation followed by annealing. The as-prepared heterostructure revealed cubic crystal morphology along with high-intensity diffraction peaks in the XRD pattern. The XPS analysis of ZHS/ZTO heterostructures demonstrated the presence of key elements (Zn, Sn, and O) in their most stable ionic forms. The photocatalytic degradation efficiencies of the prepared samples were tested against methyl orange (MO) and tetracycline (TC) in an aqueous medium under UVC (254 nm) radiation. Under optimized conditions, maximum degradation efficiencies of 99% for MO and 97% for TC were observed in 120 and 180 min, respectively. Further, the predominant role of OH˙ radicals in the photocatalytic removal of MO and TC was evident through scavenging experiments. 2nd order kinetic model was outperformed in simulating the degradation mechanism of both targets over 1st and zero-order kinetic models. Finally, a photocatalytic degradation mechanism is proposed based on the energy values estimated for the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) using UPS analysis.

Abstract
Tin chalcogenides are regarded as promising anode materials for potassium ion batteries (PIBs) due to their considerable specific capacity. However, the severe volume effect, limited electronic conductivity, and the shuttle effect of the potassiation product restrict the application prospect. Herein, based on the metal evaporation reaction, a facile structural engineering strategy for yolk-shell SnSe encapsulated in carbon shell (SnSe@C) is proposed. The internal void can accommodate the volume change of the SnSe core and the carbon shell can enhance the electronic conductivity. Combining qualitative and quantitative electrochemical analyses, the distinguished electrochemical performance of SnSe@C anode is attributed to the contribution of enhanced capacitive behavior. Additionally, first-principles calculations elucidate that the heteroatomic doped carbon exhibits a preferable affinity toward potassium ions and the potassiation product K2 Se, boosting the rate performance and capacity retention consequently. Furthermore, the phase evolution of SnSe@C electrode during the potassiation/depotassiation process is clarified by in situ X-ray diffraction characterization, and the crystal transition from the SnSe Pnma(62) to Cmcm(63) point group is discovered unpredictably. This work demonstrates a pragmatic avenue to tailor the SnSe@C anode via a facile structural engineering strategy and chemical regulation, providing substantial clarification for the phase evolution mechanism of SnSe-based anode for PIBs.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) ZnSnO3 is a promising candidate for future gas sensors due to its high chemical response and excellent electronic properties. However, the preparation of 2D ZnSnO3 nanosheets by utilizing soluble inorganic salts and nonorganic solvents remains a challenge. In this work, 2D ZnSnO3 was synthesized via a facile graphene oxide (GO)-assisted co-precipitation method, in which inorganic salts in the aqueous phase replaced metal organic salts in a non-aqueous system. Meanwhile, a "dissolution and recrystallization" mechanism was proposed to explain the transformation from 3D nanocubes to 2D nanosheets. In comparison, the 2D ZnSnO3 nanosheets showed a higher response to formaldehyde (HCHO) at low operating temperature (100 °C). The response (Ra/Rg) of the 2D ZnSnO3 sensor to 10 ppm HCHO was as high as 57, which was approximately 5 times the response of the ZnSnO3 nanocubes sensor. However, the ZnSnO3 nanocubes sensor showed better gas sensing performance to ethanol at high temperature (200 °C). Different gas-sensitive properties were attributed to the different gas diffusion and adsorption processes caused by the morphology and nanostructure. Moreover, both sensors could detect either 0.1 ppm HCHO or ethanol at their optimum operating temperature. This work presents a relatively economical method to prepare 2D compound metal oxides, provides a novel "dissolution and recrystallization" mechanism for 2D multi-metal oxide preparation, and sheds light on the great potential of high-efficiency HCHO and/or ethanol gas sensors.

Abstract
The triadic composite of ZnO/CdO heterojunction decorated with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was prepared using a one-step hydrothermal method. The characterizations of morphology, structure and composition to the composite were undertaken by XRD, Raman, SEM, TEM, XPS, UV-vis spectra. The sensing experimental data indicate that the highest response of the ZnO/CdO/rGO (1.0 wt%) composite to ppm-level NO2 is 8 times and 2 times higher than pure ZnO and ZnO/CdO junction, respectively. The composite not only exhibits fast response time and recovery time, high response, but also reveals outstanding stability and repeatability at an operating temperature of 125 °C. The sensing mechanism also has been discussed in detail in the work. The enhancement in gas sensing properties is credited to the development of ZnO/CdO heterojunction and the decoration of rGO with high conductivity. The logarithm of sensitivity in the range of 0.4-2.4 ppm NO2 shows good linear dependence, indicating that the composite based sensor can be used to quantificationally detect low concentration of NO2.

Abstract
In this study, zinc hydroxystannate ([ZnSn(OH)6], ZHS) was coated with aluminum phosphate (AlPO4, ALP) to prepare the ZHS-ALP composite. During the coating process, the reaction conditions, such as the ALP to ZHS molar ratio, were controlled, and the morphology of the products was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The prepared composites were introduced into poly(acrylonitrile-co-vinylidene chloride) (PANVDC), and the change in compatibility between ZHS and the polymer matrix was characterized. The results showed that ALP-ZHS (1:1), which was prepared by ALP-ZHS composite molar ratio of 1:1, could improve the dispersion and compatibility of ZHS in the polymer matrix and decrease the hydrophilicity and viscosity. Moreover, the ALP-ZHS composite had a better flame-retardant effect on PANVDC than ZHS alone. PANVDC could pass the V-0 rating in UL94, particularly the highest limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of 33.2% obtained when the ALP-ZHS (1:1) composite was added to PANVDC.

Abstract
A sensor displaying a rapid response and high sensitivity was developed by following a simple route. Ionic defects in this sensor were explored using X-ray diffraction analysis. In general, such defects arise from a mismatch of ionic radii, which actually improves the sensing performance. SEM and TEM images of the currently produced particles demonstrated negligible agglomeration, which greatly enhanced the flow of water molecules through the particles. The current sensor showed a rapid response to changes in humidity. Its sensing performance was classified into three different ranges of humidity. Of these humidity ranges, the sensor showed the highest sensitivity (8.84 MΩ per %RH) at low relative humidity (10-20% RH). Furthermore, the sensitivity fall off as the RH was increased from 20 to 99%. The sensor showed a rapid response time of 20 s. Also, the sensor showed 92.98% reproducibility and few effects of aging.

Abstract
The ultrasound wave assisted synthesis of a novel ZnWO3/rGO hybrid nono composition (ZnWO3/rGO HNC) as a high performance sensor for formaldehyde (FA) has been reported. Different techniques of analysis such as XRD, FE-SEM, TGA, XPS, HRTEM and BET were applied for morphological and spectroscopic characterization of the ZnWO3/rGO HNC. The sensing evaluation of the constructed sensor showed high selectivity, sensitivity and a linear correlation between achieved responses and concentration of target gas (1-10 ppm) with R2 = 0.993 at temperature of 95 °C. The determination of FA was validated and performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry combined by solid phase micro-extraction after derivatization with O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoro-benzyl)-hydroxylamine hydrochloride. Validation was carried out in terms of limit of detection linearity, precision, and recovery. The mechanistic evaluation of sensing behavior of the ZnWO3/rGO HNC was interpreted based on large specific surface area (SSA) to volume, mesoporous structure and the heterojunction between rGO and ZnWO3 at the interface between the rGO and ZnWO3.

Abstract
CuO nanoparticles with different morphologies were synthesized by chemical precipitation and subsequently modified by microwave hydrothermal processing. The nanoparticles were precipitated by the introduction of a strong base to an aqueous solution of copper cations in the presence/absence of the polyethylene glycol and urea additives. The modification of the nanoparticles was subsequently carried out by a microwave hydrothermal treatment of suspensions of the precipitates, precipitated with and without the additives. X-ray powder diffraction analysis indicated that the crystallinity and crystallite size of the CuO nanoparticles increased after the microwave hydrothermal modification. Microscopy observations revealed the morphology changes induced by microwave hydrothermal processing. The thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate and the detection of volatile gases were performed to evaluate the catalytic and gas sensing properties of the synthesized CuO nanoparticles.
