Abstract
Semiconductor metal oxides (SMOs) nanomaterials are a category of sensing materials that are widely applied to chemiresistive NOx gas sensors. However, there is much space to improve the sensing performance of SMOs nanomaterials. Therefore, how to improve the sensing performance of SMOs nanomaterials for NOx gases has always attracted the interest of researchers. Up to now, there are few reviews focus on the modification strategies of SMOs which applied to NOx gas sensors. In order to compensate for the limitation, this review summarizes the existing modification strategies of SMOs, hoping to provide researchers a view of the research progress in this filed as comprehensive as possible. This review focuses on the progress of the modification of SMOs nanomaterials for chemiresistive NOx (NO, NO2) gas sensors, including the morphology modulation of SMOs, compositing SMOs, loading noble metals, doping metal ions, compositing with carbon nanomaterials, compositing with biomass template, and compositing with MXene, MOFs, conducting polymers. The mechanism of each strategy to enhance the NOx sensing performance of SMOs-based nanomaterials is also discussed and summarized. In addition, the limitations of some of the modification strategies and ways to address them are discussed. Finally, future perspectives for SMOs-based NOx gas sensors are also discussed.

Abstract
Printed sensors are among the most successful groups of devices within the domain of printed electronics, both in terms of their application versatility and the emerging market share. However, reports on fully printed gas sensors are rare in the literature, even though it can be an important development toward fully printed multisensor platforms for diagnostics, process control, and environmental safety-related applications. In this regard, here, we present the traditional tin oxide-based completely inkjet-printed co-continuous and mesoporous thin films with an extremely large surface-to-volume ratio and then investigate their NO2 sensing properties at low temperatures. A method known as evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) has been mimicked in this study using pluronic F127 (PEO106-PPO70-PEO106) as the soft templating agent and xylene as the micelle expander to obtain highly reproducible and spatially homogeneous co-continuous mesoporous crystalline SnO2 with an average pore diameter of the order of 15-20 nm. The fully printed SnO2 gas sensors thus produced show high linearity for NO2 detection, along with extremely high average response of 11,507 at 5 ppm NO2. On the other hand, the sensors show an ultralow detection limit of the order of 20 ppb with an easy to amplify response of 31. While the excellent electronic transport properties along such co-continuous, mesoporous structures are ensured by their well-connected (co-continuous) ligaments and pores (thereby ensuring high surface area and high mobility transport at the same time) and may actually be responsible for the outstanding sensor performance that has been observed, the use of an industrial printing technique ascertains the possibility of high-throughput manufacturing of such sensor units toward inexpensive and wide-range applications.

Nucleation density and pore size tunable growth of ZnO nanowalls by a facile solution approach: growth mechanism and NO2 gas sensing properties. RSC Adv 2020; 10:3319-3328. [PMID: 35497747 PMCID: PMC9048435 DOI: 10.1039/c9ra07933e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2019] [Accepted: 12/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Nanowalls are novel nanostructures whose 3D porous network morphology holds great potential for applications as gas sensors. The realization of such a nanowall-based gas sensor depends directly on the comprehensive understanding of the growth mechanism of the nanowalls. We induced nucleation density and pore size evolution by increasing the dipping and growth times. The investigation indicates that the 3D porous ZnO nanowalls consist of a seed layer of ZnO nanoparticles and a growth layer of the vertically grown ZnO nanosheets. The seed layer nucleation density dominance is driven by the dipping time. The pore size and the height of the as-grown ZnO nanowalls are determined by varying the growth time. Possible growth mechanisms governing the physical characteristics of the synthesized ZnO nanostructures in the solution process are proposed and discussed. The gas sensor that was fabricated from the ZnO nanowall structure exhibited strong dependence on the microstructure, which was mainly determined by the preparation conditions. Nanowalls are novel nanostructures whose 3D porous network morphology holds great potential for applications as gas sensors.![]()
