Abstract
Interest in the importance of gas sensing devices has increased significantly due to their critical function in monitoring the environment and controlling pollution, resulting in an increased market demand. The present review explores perovskite La-Fe-O based gas sensors with a special focus on LaFeO3 and evaluates their sensitivity to a diverse range of practical target gases that need to be monitored. An analysis has been conducted to assess different routes not only of synthesizing LaFeO3 material but also of characterization with the targeted use for their gas sensing abilities. Additionally, a comprehensive analysis has been performed to explore the effect of introducing other elements through doping. In view of the LaFeO3 sensing performance, more common gases like acetone, ethanol, methanol, formaldehyde, NO x , and CO2 have been targeted. In addition, a discussion on uncommon gases such as CO, SO2, TEA, C2H5, C6H6, and others is also made to give a complete picture of LaFeO3-based gas sensors. The summary and conclusion section of the study addresses the primary obstacles in the synthesis process, the variables that restrict the sensing capabilities of LaFeO3, and its commercial fulfillment.

Abstract
The analysis of exhaled breath has opened up new exciting avenues in medical diagnostics, sleep monitoring, and drunk driving detection. Nevertheless, the detection accuracy is greatly affected due to high humidity in the exhaled breath. Here, we propose a regulation method to solve the problem of humidity adaptability in the ethanol-monitoring process by building a heterojunction and hollow-out nanostructure. Therefore, large specific surface area hollow-out Fe2O3-loaded NiO heterojunction nanorods assembled by porous ultrathin nanosheets were prepared by a well-tailored interface reaction. The excellent response (51.2 toward 10 ppm ethanol at 80% relative humidity) and selectivity to ethanol under high relative humidity with a lower operating temperature (150 °C) were obtained, and the detection limit was as low as 0.5 ppb with excellent long-term stability. The superior gas-sensing performance was attributed to the high surface activity of the heterojunction and hollow-out nanostructure. More importantly, GC-MS, diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and DFT were utilized to analyze the mechanisms of heterojunction sensitization, ethanol-sensing reaction, and high-humidity adaptability. Our integrated low-power MEMS Internet of Things (IoT) system based on Fe2O3@NiO successfully demonstrates the functional verification of ethanol detection in human exhalation, and the integrated voice alarm and IoT positioning functions are expected to solve the problem of real-time monitoring and rapid initial screening of drunk driving. Overall, this novel method plays a vital role in areas such as control of material morphology and composition, breath analysis, gas-sensing mechanism research, and artificial olfaction.

Abstract
Because of the combined merits of rich physicochemical properties, abundance, low toxicity, etc., hematite (α-Fe2O3), one of the most chemically stable compounds based on the transition metal element iron, is endowed with multifunctionalities and has steadily been a research hotspot for decades. Very recently, advanced α-Fe2O3 materials have also been developed for applications in some cutting-edge fields. To reflect this trend, the latest progress in developing α-Fe2O3 materials for newly emerging applications is reviewed with a particular focus on the relationship between composition/nanostructure-induced electronic structure modulation and practical performance. Moreover, perspectives on the critical challenges as well as opportunities for future development of diverse functionalities are also discussed. We believe that this timely review will not only stimulate further increasing interest in α-Fe2O3 materials but also provide a profound understanding and insight into the rational design of other materials based on transition metal elements for various applications.

Facile Synthesis of "Boron-Doped" Carbon Dots and Their Application in Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10081560.

Abstract
Carbon dots (C-dots) were facilely fabricated via a hydrothermal method and fully characterized. Our study shows that the as-synthesized C-dots are nontoxic, negatively charged spherical particles (average diameter 4.7 nm) with excellent water dispersion ability. Furthermore, the C-dots have a rich presence of surface functionalities such as hydroxyls and carboxyls as well as amines. The significance of the C-dots as highly efficient photocatalysts for rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB) degradation was explored. The C-dots demonstrate excellent photocatalytic activity, achieving 100% of RhB and MB degradation within 170 min. The degradation rate constants for RhB and MB were 1.8 × 10−2 and 2.4 × 10−2 min−1, respectively. The photocatalytic degradation performances of the C-dots are comparable to those metal-based photocatalysts and generally better than previously reported C-dots photocatalysts. Collectively considering the excellent photocatalytic activity toward organic dye degradation, as well as the fact that they are facilely synthesized with no need of further doping, compositing, and tedious purification and separation, the C-dots fabricated in this work are demonstrated to be a promising alternative for pollutant degradation and environment protection.
