Abstract
Environmental and health monitoring requires low-cost, high-performance diethylamine (DEA) sensors. Materials based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can detect hazardous gases due to their large specific surface area, many metal sites, unsaturated sites, functional connectivity, and easy calcination to remove the scaffold. However, developing facile materials with high sensitivity and selectivity in harsh environments for accurate DEA detection at a low detection limit (LOD) at room temperature (RT) is challenging. In this study, p-type semiconducting porous CuOx sensing materials were synthesized using a simple solvothermal process and annealed in an argon atmosphere at three different temperatures (x = 400, 600, and 800 °C). Significant variations in particle size, specific area, crystallite size, and shape were noticed when the annealing temperature was elevated. Cu-MIL-53 annealed at 400 °C (CuO-400) has a typical nanoellipsoid (NEs) shape with a length of 61.5 nm and a diameter of 33.2 nm. Surprisingly, CuO-400 NEs showed an excellent response to DEA with an ultra-LOD (Rg/Ra = 7.3 @ 100 ppb, 55% relative humidity), excellent selectivity and sensitivity (Rg/Ra = 236 @ 15 ppm), exceptional long-term stability and repeatability, and a fast response/recovery period at RT, outperforming most previously reported materials. CuO-400 NEs have outstanding gas-sensing characteristics due to their high porosity, 1D nanostructure, unsaturated Cu sites (Cu+ and Cu2+), large specific surface area, and numerous oxygen vacancies. This study presents a generic approach to produce future CuO derived from Cu-MOFs-sensitive materials, revealing new insights into the design of effective sensors for environmental monitoring at RT.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal sensing materials due to their distinctive morphologies, high surface area, and simple calcination to remove sacrificial MOF scaffolds. Oxygen vacancies (Ovs) can be efficiently generated by the thermal annealing of metal oxides in an inert atmosphere. Herein, MIL-53-based Fe and Fe/Ni-MOFs nanorices (NRs) were first prepared by using a solvothermal method, and then one-dimensional (1D) Fe2O3 and Ni0.4Fe2.6O4 NRs were derived from the MOFs after calcination at 350 °C in an air and argon (Ar) atmosphere, respectively. It was found that Ar-annealed Ni0.4Fe2.6O4 NRs have higher Ovs concentrations (82.11%) and smaller NRs (24.3 nm) than air-annealed NRs (65.68% & 31.5 nm). Beneficially, among the synthesized NRs, the Ar-Ni0.4Fe2.6O4 NRs show a higher sensitivity to diethylamine (DEA) (Ra/Rg = 23 @ 5 ppm, 175 °C), low detection limit (Ra/Rg = 1.2 @ 200 ppb), wide dynamic response (Ra/Rg = 93.5@ 30 ppm), high stability (30 days), and faster response/recovery time (4 s/38 s). Moreover, the 1D nanostructure containing heterostructures offers excellent sensing selectivity and a wide detection range from 200 ppb to 30 ppm in the presence of DEA. The outstanding gas sensing behavior can be attributable to synergistic impact, structural advantages, high concentration of Ovs, and the heterojunction interface, which can have profound effects on gas sensor performance. This study provides a unique technique for constructing high-performance gas sensors for ppb-level DEA detection and the formation of Ovs in metal oxides without the need for any additives.

Abstract
Food quality monitoring and freshness assessment are critical for ensuring food safety at a large scale. Ammonia is used as an important indicator of protein rich food spoilage state. However, current ammonia gas sensors suffer from insufficient sensitivity and selectivity, or sophisticated instrumentation, hindering their practical application in in-situ and real-time food quality monitoring. To overcome such limitations, an innovative nonporous colorimetric complex 1 has been synthesized and investigated for the detection of NH3(g) and its volatile organic derivatives including aliphatic amines, 1,2-diaminopropane(g), isobutylamine(g) and ethylenediamine(g), etc. The sensor operates colorimetrically at room temperature without energy input, with a detection limit to ammonia(g) of 105 ppb, and show excellent reusability. The colorimetric detection mechanism involves a partial spin state change of Fe(II) ions upon exposure to amines in the gas phase. In addition, the complex was utilized as real-time monitoring of meat freshness using a smartphone. Thus, chemosensor 1 is considered as a ground breaking new-generation portable electronic nose for vapors of volatile organic compounds discrimination at room temperature.

Abstract
Environmental pollution related to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become a global issue which attracts intensive work towards their controlling and monitoring. To this direction various regulations and research towards VOCs detection have been laid down and conducted by many countries. Distinct devices are proposed to monitor the VOCs pollution. Among them, chemiresistor devices comprised of inorganic-semiconducting materials with diverse nanostructures are most attractive because they are cost-effective and eco-friendly. These diverse nanostructured materials-based devices are usually made up of nanoparticles, nanowires/rods, nanocrystals, nanotubes, nanocages, nanocubes, nanocomposites, etc. They can be employed in monitoring the VOCs present in the reliable sources. This review outlines the device-based VOC detection using diverse semiconducting-nanostructured materials and covers more than 340 references that have been published since 2016.

Abstract
The BiFeO3/V2O5 has been successfully synthesized by simple annealing of BiFeO3 nanoplates and V2O5 nanoflower. The phase, structural, optical properties and chemical state of the BiFeO3, V2O5 and different composition of BiFeO3/V2O5 samples were comparatively characterized by various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The prepared catalyst exhibits unique photo catalytic and post-oxidation/reduction ability for removal of various (MB, Phenol, CV, RhB) water organic pollutants. Compared to pure BiFeO3 and V2O5, the different Wt % of BiFeO3/V2O5 composition exhibited higher photo catalytic activity. The fortunate BiFeO3/V2O5 interface hybrid photo catalyst makes a significant impact in the enhancement of photo catalytic reaction. This remarkable efficiency could be ascribed to the synergistic effect between the V2O5 petals and BiFeO3 plates. The exceptional morphology, increased surface area, uniformity, less-agglomerated spreading could increase the ability of visible light response, which lead the improved electron transport ability and the higher charge separation. The enhanced rate of photo generated charge carriers separations were evinced by the EIS and PL spectrum measurements. The allowed radical trapping experiment divulge that the hole (h+), and super oxide radical (O2-) are the minimized effect in degradation, on the other hand hydroxyl radical (OH) is plays the foremost role and act as the active radicals in the catalytic organism. In relations of above investigation, a probable photo degradation mechanism of the as-synthesized photo catalyst is carefully explicated. This effort delivers an effective approach to design and fabricate the efficient photo catalyst through integrating of materials, which has a potential for industrial waste water purification.
