Abstract
Gas sensors with exceptional sensitivity and selectivity are vital in the real-time surveillance of noxious and harmful gases. Despite this, traditional gas sensing materials still face a number of challenges, such as poor selectivity, insufficient detection limits, and short lifespan. Metal oxides, which are derived from metal-organic framework materials (MOFs), have been widely used in the field of gas sensors because they have a high surface area and large pore volume. Incorporating metal oxides derived from MOFs into gas sensors can improve their sensitivity and selectivity, thus opening up new possibilities for the development of innovative, high-performance gas sensors. This article examines the gas sensing process of metal oxide semiconductors (MOS), evaluates the advances made in the research of different structures of MOF-derived metal oxides in resistive gas sensors, and provides information on their potential applications and future advancements.

[PMID: 37570506 PMCID: PMC10421214 DOI: 10.3390/nano13152188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
Gas-sensing technology has gained significant attention in recent years due to the increasing concern for environmental safety and human health caused by reactive gases. In particular, spinel ferrite (MFe2O4), a metal oxide semiconductor with a spinel structure, has emerged as a promising material for gas-sensing applications. This review article aims to provide an overview of the latest developments in spinel-ferrite-based gas sensors. It begins by discussing the gas-sensing mechanism of spinel ferrite sensors, which involves the interaction between the target gas molecules and the surface of the sensor material. The unique properties of spinel ferrite, such as its high surface area, tunable bandgap, and excellent stability, contribute to its gas-sensing capabilities. The article then delves into recent advancements in gas sensors based on spinel ferrite, focusing on various aspects such as microstructures, element doping, and heterostructure materials. The microstructure of spinel ferrite can be tailored to enhance the gas-sensing performance by controlling factors such as the grain size, porosity, and surface area. Element doping, such as incorporating transition metal ions, can further enhance the gas-sensing properties by modifying the electronic structure and surface chemistry of the sensor material. Additionally, the integration of spinel ferrite with other semiconductors in heterostructure configurations has shown potential for improving the selectivity and overall sensing performance. Furthermore, the article suggests that the combination of spinel ferrite and semiconductors can enhance the selectivity, stability, and sensing performance of gas sensors at room or low temperatures. This is particularly important for practical applications where real-time and accurate gas detection is crucial. In conclusion, this review highlights the potential of spinel-ferrite-based gas sensors and provides insights into the latest advancements in this field. The combination of spinel ferrite with other materials and the optimization of sensor parameters offer opportunities for the development of highly efficient and reliable gas-sensing devices for early detection and warning systems.

Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are coordination polymers with high porosity that are constructed from molecular engineering. Constructing MOFs as photocatalysts for the reduction of nitrogen to ammonia is a newly emerging but fast-growing field, owing to MOFs’ large pore volumes, adjustable pore sizes, controllable structures, wide light harvesting ranges, and high densities of exposed catalytic sites. They are also growing in popularity because of the pristine MOFs that can easily be transformed into advanced composites and derivatives, with enhanced catalytic performance. In this review, we firstly summarized and compared the ammonia detection methods and the synthetic methods of MOF-based materials. Then we highlighted the recent achievements in state-of-the-art MOF-based materials for photocatalytic nitrogen fixation. Finally, the summary and perspectives of MOF-based materials for photocatalytic nitrogen fixation were presented. This review aims to provide up-to-date developments in MOF-based materials for nitrogen fixation that are beneficial to researchers who are interested or involved in this field.

Fabrication of a Nickel Ferrite/Nanocellulose-Based Nanocomposite as an Active Sensing Material for the Detection of Chlorine Gas. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14091906. [PMID: 35567075 PMCID: PMC9104411 DOI: 10.3390/polym14091906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Revised: 05/03/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Chlorine gas is extensively utilised in industries as both a disinfectant and for wastewater treatment. It has a pungent and irritating odour that is comparable with that of bleach and can cause serious health issues such as headaches and breathing difficulties. Hence, efficiently, and accurately monitoring chlorine gas is critical to ensure that no undesirable incidents occur. Due to its remarkable characteristics, numerous researchers have explored the potential of ferrite nanoparticles as a sensing material for chlorine gas detection. Among several ferrite nanoparticles, nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) is extensively studied as an inverse spinel structured magnetic material that may be ideal for sensing applications. However, the magnetic characteristics of NiFe2O4 cause agglomeration, which necessitates the use of a substrate for stabilisation. Therefore, nanocellulose (NC), as a green and eco-friendly substrate, is ideal for stabilising bare nickel ferrite nanoparticles. In a novel experiment, nickel ferrite was loaded onto NC as a substrate using in situ deposition. The structure was confirmed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, while elemental composition was verified by Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. Gas sensing properties were determined by evaluating sensitivity as a function of various regulating factors, such as the amount of nickel ferrite, gas concentration, repeatability, and reusability. In the evaluation, 0.3 g nickel ferrite showed superior response and sensitivity than those of other samples. The achieved response time was around 40 s, while recovery time was about 50 s. This study demonstrates the potential of a nickel ferrite/nanocellulose-based nanocomposite to efficiently monitor chlorine gas.

Abstract
Designing high-performance triethylamine gas sensors with the stable gas response and low resistance variation in air under a wide relative humidity range is expected for human health and environmental surveillance. Here, a novel porous NiO/NiFe2O4 fiber-in-tube nanostructure is prepared by the electrospinning process. The characterizations related to microstructure and surface morphology are carried out. Meanwhile, the gas sensing performance of the porous fiber-in-tube NiO/NiFe2O4 materials is evaluated and compared systematically. The results indicate that the introduction of NiO as the second component can not only reduce the baseline resistance of NiFe2O4 gas sensors dramatically but also optimize the gas sensing performance to a significant extent. Especially, the fabricated sensor based on the NiO/NiFe2O4 fiber-in-tube with a Ni/Fe molar ratio of 1.5 exhibits the best performance. The gas response while detecting 50 ppm triethylamine at 300 °C is about 3.6 times higher than that with Ni/Fe molar ratio of 0.5. Moreover, the response values become more stable, and the baseline resistance has a lower variation under a wide relative humidity range, demonstrating the excellent humidity resistance. These phenomena might be ascribed to the distinctive fiber-in-tube nanostructure as well as the heterojunction between NiFe2O4 and NiO.

Abstract
Two new coordination polymers namely, [(AgCN)4LS]n (1) and [(AgCN)3LN]n (2), were successfully synthesized by the reaction of AgNO3 and cyanide as a co-anion with LS[1,1'-(hexane-1,4-diyl)bis(3-methylimidazoline-2-thione] and LN[1,1,3,3-tetrakis(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazole)propane] ligands in order to use them for the preparation of magnetic nanocomposites with MnFe2O4 nanoparticles by an efficient and facile method. They were then well characterized via numerous techniques, including elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, TGA, PXRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, VSM, BET, ICP, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The considered polymers and their magnetic nanocomposites with nearly the same antibacterial activity demonstrated a highly inhibitive effect on the growth of Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis) bacteria. By considering the simple separation and recyclable characters of the magnetic nanocomposites, these materials are suitable to be used in biological applications.

Abstract
Multicomponent spinel ferrites are essential to be used in high-performance gas-sensing materials. Herein, multinary (Cu,Zn)Fe2O4 spinel nano-microspheres with tunable internal structures, including solid, core-shell, and yolk-shell, were successfully synthesized by a simple self-templated solvothermal method combined with a subsequent annealing strategy. The internal structures of the (Cu,Zn)Fe2O4 nano-microspheres significantly rely on the heating rates of the precursors, which show promising selective response towards trimethylamine gas. Among them, the as-formed yolk-shell (Cu,Zn)Fe2O4 nano-microspheres exhibited high response to triethylamine with excellent selectivity of STEA/SX = 1.86 at 160 °C, fast response-recovery rate (58 s/136 s), and long-term repeatability and stability of more than one month. The corresponding triethylamine gas-sensing mechanism with the special microstructures is discussed. This work provides new insights into the rational design of interior structure and the modulation of high gas response and selectivity of multinary spinel ferrites in gas-sensing applications.
