[PMID: 38475107 DOI: 10.3390/s24051571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
In the last two decades, many research works have been focused on enhancing the properties of gas sensors by utilising external triggers like temperature and light. Most interestingly, the light-activated gas sensors show promising results, particularly using visible light as an external trigger that lowers the power consumption as well as improves the stability, sensitivity and safety of the sensors. It effectively eliminates the possible damage to sensing material caused by high operating temperature or high energy light. This review summarises the effect of visible light illumination on both chemoresistors and heterostructure gas sensors based on inorganic and organic materials and provides a clear understanding of the involved phenomena. Finally, the fascinating concept of ambipolar gas sensors is presented, which utilised visible light as an external trigger for inversion in the nature of majority charge carriers in devices. This review should offer insight into the current technologies and offer a new perspective towards future development utilising visible light in light-assisted gas sensors.

Abstract
The surface morphology of viscoelastic-sensitive films significantly affects sensing characteristics of surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors. Uniformity and compactness of the film surface directly influences detectability of the SAW sensor toward target gases. Viscoelastic fluoroalcoholpolysiloxane (SXFA) was prepared in this work using spin coating technology on an SAW delay line of 200 MHz and then used as coating for detection of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP). Polarizing, atomic force, and scanning electron microscopies confirmed the uniformity of the SXFA surface. The particle diameter in the cluster region was 10-15 μm. The contact angle (5.72-26.69°), surface tension (21.053-29.155 mN/m), Gibbs free energy (-160.68 to -153.45 J/m2), and spreading coefficient (0.3028-6.9453 J/m2) of different concentrations of SXFA were obtained through experiments, and their relation was analyzed using the Young T equation and Gibbs adsorption isotherm. The glass transition temperature (-19.7 °C) and elasticity of SXFA were also discussed. The consistency of sensor preparation was confirmed by detecting DMMP with five SAW sensors prepared simultaneously. Seven consecutive tests showed that the SAW sensor presents satisfactory repeatability (standard deviation, s, 1.134; coefficient of variance, v, 0.065; and population mean deviation, δ, 0.913) at a concentration of 1.71 mg/m3 and acceptable linear relationship at a concentration range of 0.058-1.92 mg/m3, with a sensitivity of around 1.21 mv/(mg/m3). The sensor exhibited outstanding sensitivity and satisfactory linearity and repeatability to DMMP. Meanwhile, the sensing mechanism in gas adsorption was also discussed in terms of LSER formulation and hydrogen bonding formation between SXFA and DMMP.

Abstract
There are very few p-type semiconductors available compared to n-type semiconductors for positive sensing response for oxidizing gases and other important electronic applications. Cupric oxide (CuO) is one of the few oxides that show p-type conductivity, useful for sensing oxidizing gases. Many researchers obtained CuO using the chemical and solid-state routes, but uniformity and large-area deposition have been the main issues. Chemical vapor deposition is one such technique that provides control on several deposition parameters, which allow obtaining thin films having crystallinity and uniformity over a large area for the desired application. However, CuO-chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is still unfathomed due to the lack of suitability of copper precursors based on vapor pressure, contamination, and toxicity. Here, to address these issues, we have taken four Cu complexes (copper(II) acetylacetonate, copper(II) bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato), copper(II) ethylacetoacetate, and copper(II) tert-butylacetoacetate), which are evaluated using thermogravimetry for suitability as a CVD precursor. The decomposition behavior of the complexes was also experimentally confirmed by depositing CuO thin films via CVD. Phase purity, decomposition, volatility, growth rate, and morphological characteristics of the films are investigated in detail. Analysis suggests that copper(II) tert-butylacetoacetate has the highest vapor pressure and growth rate at a low temperature, making it the most suitable precursor for high-throughput CVD. Further, to investigate the role of these precursors, films deposited using Cu complexes were subjected to gas sensing. The CuO gas sensor fabricated on glass shows pronounced NO2 sensing. The sensing results of CuO films have been explained from the standpoint of roughness, morphology, and unpassivated bonds present on the surface of films and vapor pressure of precursors. The higher density of surface state and the lower resistivity of the Cu(tbaoac)2 film lead to a sensor with higher responsivity and sensitivity (down to 1 ppm). These precursors can probably be utilized to improve the performance of other metal oxide gas sensors, especially Cu2O and Cu-III-O2.

Abstract
Gas sensor technology is widely utilized in various areas ranging from home security, environment and air pollution, to industrial production. It also hold great promise in non-invasive exhaled breath detection and an essential device in future internet of things. The past decade has witnessed giant advance in both fundamental research and industrial development of gas sensors, yet current efforts are being explored to achieve better selectivity, higher sensitivity and lower power consumption. The sensing layer in gas sensors have attracted dominant attention in the past research. In addition to the conventional metal oxide semiconductors, emerging nanocomposites and graphene-like two-dimensional materials also have drawn considerable research interest. This inspires us to organize this comprehensive 2020 gas sensing materials roadmap to discuss the current status, state-of-the-art progress, and present and future challenges in various materials that is potentially useful for gas sensors.

Abstract
A facile TiO2 nanosheets-based chemiresistive gas sensor array was prepared to identify 11 kinds of military and improvised explosive vapors at room temperature. The morphology of TiO2 nanosheets was well-controlled by adjusting the concentration of HF applied during the preparation. Owing to the morphology difference, the TiO2 nanosheet-based sensors show different response values toward 11 kinds of explosives, which is the basis of the successful discriminative identification. This method owes lots of advantages over other detection techniques, such as the facile preparation procedure, high response value (115.6% for TNT and 830% for PNT) at room temperature, rapid identifying properties (within 30 s for 9 explosives), simple operation, high anti-interference property, and low probability of misinforming, and consequently has a huge potential application in the qualitative detection of explosives.

Abstract
A dysprosium metal-organic framework, {[Dy(μ2-FcDCA)1.5(MeOH)(H2O)]·0.5H2O}n (1), where FcDCA = 1,1'-ferrocene dicarboxylic acid, was prepared by slow-diffusion technique at room temperature. The crystal structure analysis of 1 by single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals different binding modes of FcDCA linkers coordinated with Dy(III) metal ions, which forms continuous porous two-dimensional (2D) infinite framework. The resulting 2D layers are linked by π···π interactions to build three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework. Observably, this thermally stable 3D architecture was topologically simplified as a three-connected uninodal net with fes topology. Furthermore, the practical applicability of 1 was investigated as a fluorescence sensor for the sensitive detection of picric acid in aqueous medium with an impressive detection limit of 0.71 μM with quenching constant (KSV) quantified to be 8.55 × 104 M-1. The distinguished selectivity in the presence of other nitroaromatics suggests the possible incorporation of 1 in real-world futuristic diagnostic kits. Additionally, the electrochemical behavior of 1 exhibits reversible in nature attributed to the ferrocene/ferrocenium cation.

Abstract
Semiconductor photoelectrodes that simultaneously possess rapid charge transport and high surface area are highly desirable for efficient charge generation and collection in photoelectrochemical devices. Herein, we report mesostructured ZnO nanowires (NWs) that not only demonstrate a surface area as high as 50.7 m2/g, comparable to that of conventional nanoparticles (NPs), but also exhibit a 100 times faster electron transport rate than that in NP films. Moreover, using the comparison between NWs and NPs as an exploratory platform, we show that the synergistic effect between rapid charge transport and high surface area leads to a high performance photoelectronic formaldehyde sensor that exhibits a detection limit of as low as 5 ppb and a response of 1223% (at 10 ppm), which are, respectively, over 100 times lower and 20 times higher than those of conventional NPs-based device. Our work establishes a foundational pathway toward a better photoelectronic system by materials design.

Abstract
A new derivative of naphthalene diimide (NDMI) was synthesized that displayed optical, electrical, and visual changes exclusively for the most widespread nitroexplosive and highly water-soluble toxicant picric acid (PA) due to strong π-π interactions, dipole-charge interaction, and a favorable ground state electron transfer process facilitated by Coulombic attraction. The sensing mechanism and interaction between NDMI with PA is demonstrated via X-ray diffraction analysis, (1)H NMR studies, cyclic voltammetry, UV-visible/fluorescence spectroscopy, and lifetime measurements. Single crystal X-ray structure of NDMI revealed the formation of self-assembled crystalline network assisted by noncovalent C-H···I interactions that get disrupted upon introducing PA as a result of anion exchange and strong π-π stacking between NDMI and PA. Morphological studies of NDMI displayed large numbers of single crystalline microrods along with some three-dimensional (3D) daisy-like structures which were fabricated on Al-coated glass substrate to construct a low-cost two terminal sensor device for realizing vapor mode detection of PA at room temperature and under ambient conditions. Furthermore, an economical and portable electronic prototype was developed for visual and on-site detection of PA vapors under exceptionally realistic conditions.

Abstract
Bi-layer (Au-Si3N4) microcantilevers fabricated in an array were used to detect vapors of energetic materials such as explosives under ambient conditions. The changes in the bending response of each thermal bimorph (i.e., microcantilever) with changes in actuation currents were experimentally monitored by measuring the angle of the reflected ray from a laser source used to illuminate the gold nanocoating on the surface of silicon nitride microcantilevers in the absence and presence of a designated combustible species. Experiments were performed to determine the signature response of this nano-calorimeter platform for each explosive material considered for this study. Numerical modeling was performed to predict the bending response of the microcantilevers for various explosive materials, species concentrations, and actuation currents. The experimental validation of the numerical predictions demonstrated that in the presence of different explosive or combustible materials, the microcantilevers exhibited unique trends in their bending responses with increasing values of the actuation current.

Abstract
Optical detection of volatile electron deficient analytes via fluorescence quenching is demonstrated using ca. 200 nm diameter template-synthesized polyfluorene nanofibers as nanoscale detection elements. Observed trends in analyte quenching effectiveness suggest that, in addition to energetic factors, analyte vapor pressure and polymer/analyte solubility play an important role in the emission quenching process. Individual nanofibers successfully act as luminescent reporters of volatile nitroaromatics at sub-parts per million levels. Geometric factors, relating to the nanocylindrical geometry of the fibers and to low nanofiber substrate coverage, providing a less crowded environment around fibers, appear to play a role in providing access by electron deficient quencher molecules to the excited states within the fibers, thereby facilitating the pronounced fluorescence quenching response.

Abstract
Among different nitro compounds, trinitrophenol (TNP) is the most common constituent to prepare powerful explosives all over the world. A few works on the detection of nitro explosives have already been reported in the past few years; however, selectivity is still in its infant stage. As all the nitroexplosives are highly electron deficient in nature, it is very difficult to separate one from a mixture of different nitro compounds by the usual photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. In the present work, we have used a bright luminescent, 2,6-diamino pyridine functionalized graphene oxide (DAP-RGO) for selective detection of TNP in the presence of other nitro compounds. The major advantage of using this material over other reported materials is not only to achieve very high fluorescence quenching of ∼96% but also superior selectivity >80% in the detection of TNP in aqueous medium via both fluorescence resonance energy transfer and PET mechanisms. Density functional theory calculations also suggest the occurrence of an effective proton transfer mechanism from TNP to DAP-RGO, resulting in this tremendous fluorescence quenching compared to other nitro compounds. We believe this graphene based composite will emerge a new class of materials that could be potentially useful for selective detection, even for trace amounts of nitro explosives in water.
