Broad-class volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detection via polyaniline/zinc oxide (PANI/ZnO) composite materials as gas sensor application. Heliyon 2023; 9:e13544. [PMID: 36816248 PMCID: PMC9929445 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e13544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Metal-oxide doped conductive polymers have been investigated as sensors in the field of gas-sensing. Recent developments have highlighted the role of intrinsically conductive polymers, that have reportedly offered high surface response towards the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this work, we optimize the development of gas-sensors made of Polyaniline/Zinc oxide (PANI/ZnO) composite, capable of detecting a varied class of VOCs such as, ammonia, acetone, formaldehyde, methanol, and ethanol. The conductivity of these sensors is evaluated at room temperature and are investigated until saturation. In addition to the final application, this work also focusses on the synthesis strategies to achieve an 'optimal' matrix-to-additive ratio, such that superior chemical response is paralleled with mechanical robustness for PANI based sensors. The PANI/ZnO composites are casted into sensors bearing different additive ratios, via a drop-casting method and the same is evaluated for its formability and mechanical behavior. Physio-chemical characterization was performed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX) and we report on an exceptional selectivity for ammonia with an average sensor response of 3496.67 mV by all the sensors, when fabricated using different matrix-additive ratios. This result is superior to what is observed for Pure- PANI sensors that were selective only to methanol and ethanol. The addition of ZnO in the smallest fraction, already offers a broader range of selectivity, e.g., PANI/ZnO 90:10 sensor was selective to formaldehyde as assessed using pattern recognition.

Abstract
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a hazardous gas with acidic nature, is continuously being liberated in the atmosphere due to human activity. The NO2 sensors based on traditional materials have limitations of high-temperature requirements, slow recovery, and performance degradation under harsh environmental conditions. These limitations of traditional materials are forcing the scientific community to discover future alternative NO2 sensitive materials. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has emerged as a potential candidate for developing next-generation NO2 gas sensors. MoS2 has a large surface area for NO2 molecules adsorption with controllable morphologies, facile integration with other materials and compatibility with internet of things (IoT) devices. The aim of this review is to provide a detailed overview of the fabrication of MoS2 chemiresistance sensors in terms of devices (resistor and transistor), layer thickness, morphology control, defect tailoring, heterostructure, metal nanoparticle doping, and through light illumination. Moreover, the experimental and theoretical aspects used in designing MoS2-based NO2 sensors are also discussed extensively. Finally, the review concludes the challenges and future perspectives to further enhance the gas-sensing performance of MoS2. Understanding and addressing these issues are expected to yield the development of highly reliable and industry standard chemiresistance NO2 gas sensors for environmental monitoring.

Polymer composites have established an excellent position among the technologically essential materials because of their wide range of applications. An enormous research interest has been devoted to zinc oxide (ZnO) based polymer nanocomposites, due to their exceptional electrical, optical, thermal, mechanical, catalytic, and biomedical properties. This article provides a review of various polymer composites consisting of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) as reinforcements, exhibiting excellent properties for applications such as the dielectric, sensing, piezoelectric, electromagnetic shielding, thermal conductivity and energy storage. The preparation methods of such composites including solution blending, in situ polymerization, and melt intercalation are also explained. The current challenges and potential applications of these composites are provided in order to guide future progress on the development of more promising materials. Finally, a detailed summary of the current trends in the field is presented to progressively show the future prospects for the development of ZnO containing polymer nanocomposite materials.

Abstract
Background Nanoscience and nanotechnology are developing rapidly, and the applications of nanoparticles (NPs) have been found in several fields. At present, NPs are widely used in traditional consumer and industrial products, however, the properties and safety of NPs are still unclear and there are concerns about their potential environmental and health effects. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential toxicity of ZnO NPs on testicular cells using both in vitro and in vivo systems in a mouse experimental model. Methods ZnO NPs with a crystalline size of 70 nm were characterized with various analytical techniques, including ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The cytotoxicity of the ZnO NPs was examined in vitro on Leydig cell and Sertoli cell lines, and in vivo on the testes of CD1 mice injected with single doses of ZnO NPs. Results ZnO NPs were internalized by Leydig cells and Sertoli cells, and this resulted in cytotoxicity in a time- and dose-dependent manner through the induction of apoptosis. Apoptosis likely occurred as a consequence of DNA damage (detected as γ-H2AX and RAD51 foci) caused by increase in reactive oxygen species associated with loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. In addition, injection of ZnO NPs in male mice caused structural alterations in the seminiferous epithelium and sperm abnormalities. Conclusion These results demonstrate that ZnO NPs have the potential to induce apoptosis in testicular cells likely through DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species, with possible adverse consequences for spermatogenesis and therefore, male fertility. This suggests that evaluating the potential impacts of engineered NPs is essential prior to their mass production, to address both the environmental and human health concerns and also to develop sustainable and safer nanomaterials.
