CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 359:142314. [PMID: 38735489 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
Continuously growing adoption of electronic devices in energy storage, human health and environmental monitoring systems increases demand for cost-effective, lightweight, comfortable, and highly efficient functional structures. In this regard, the recycling and reuse of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste in the aforementioned fields due to its excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance is an effective solution to reduce plastic waste. Herein, we review recent advances in synthesis procedures and research studies on the integration of PET into energy storage (Li-ion batteries) and the detection of gaseous and biological species. The operating principles of such systems are described and the role of recycled PET for various types of architectures is discussed. Modifying the composition, crystallinity, surface porosity, and polar surface functional groups of PET are important factors for tuning its features as the active or substrate material in biological and gas sensors. The findings indicate that conceptually new pathways to the study are opened up for the effective application of recycled PET in the design of Li-ion batteries, as well as biochemical and catalytic detection systems. The current challenges in these fields are also presented with perspectives on the opportunities that may enable a circular economy in PET use.

[PMID: 37804621 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.09.187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/09/2023]
Abstract
Semiconductor gas sensing materials with specific crystal facets exposure have attracted researchers' attention recently. However, related research mainly focuses on single metal oxide semiconductor. The research on crystal facets designing of semiconductor p-n heterojunction is still highly challenging. Herein, based on NiCo2O4 octahedral nanocrystals with high-energy {111} crystal facets as substrate, Fe2O3 nanorods with {001} crystal facets were decorated to obtain a facet-specific NiCo2O4/Fe2O3 p-n heterojunction. The p-n heterojunction showed promising triethylamine sensing properties with a high response of 70 (Ra/Rg, 100 ppm) at 300 °C, which was about 57 and 10 times higher than that of pristine NiCo2O4 and Fe2O3, respectively. Theoretical calculation suggested that the electronic coupling effect formed by d-orbitals of Co-Fe in heterojunction strengthened the influence on the orbitals of N site in triethylamine, which improved the triethylamine adsorption and interface charge transfer. The results indicate that crystal facets designing of NiCo2O4 and Fe2O3 can achieve synergistic optimization of surface/interface characteristics of p-n heterojunction, thereby achieving a comprehensive improvement in gas sensing performance. This study not only provides a high performance triethylamine sensing material, but also greatly enriches the gas sensing mechanism of p-n heterojunction at the atomic and electronic levels.

Abstract
Herein, we present, a chemiresistive-type gas sensor composed of two-dimensional 1T-2H phase MoSe2 and MoO3. Mixed phase MoSe2 and MoSe2/MoO3 composites were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. The structure analysis using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the formation of different phases of MoSe2 at different temperatures. With increase in synthesis temperature from 180 to 200 °C, the relative percentage of 1T and 2H-MoSe2 phases changed from 80 to 48%. On the other hand, at 220 °C, 2H-MoSe2 was obtained as a major component. The gas sensing properties of individual MoSe2 and composites were investigated at room temperature toward various analytes. The obtained results revealed that composites possess improved sensing features as compared with individual MoSe2 or MoO3. Data also revealed that the composite with dominating 1T-phase exhibits relatively higher response (10%, at 10 ppm) for dimethylformamide (DMF) compared to triethylamine (TEA) (3%, at 10 ppm). In contrast, the composite with larger 2H-phase exhibited affinity toward TEA and had a relative response of about 2%. Therefore, selectivity of a sensor device can be tuned by an appropriately designed MoSe2/MoO3 composite. These results signify the importance of MoO3-based composites with dual-phase MoSe2 for successfully discriminating between DMF and TEA at room-temperature.

Abstract
Due to the severe toxicity of triethylamine (TEA), the preparation of chemsensors with high sensitivity, low cost and visualization for TEA detection has been a research hotspot. However, based on the fluorescence turn-on detection of TEA remains rare. In this work, three two-dimensional conjugated polymers (2D CPs) were prepared by chemical oxidation polymerization. These sensors show a quick response and excellent selectivity toward TEA at room temperature. The minimum limit of detection (LOD) for TEA was 3.6 nM in the range of 10 μM ∼ 30 μM. Interestingly, the paper sensor based on P2-HCl can quantitatively detect TEA gas within 20 s, which showed great application potential in fields of environmental monitoring. Besides, Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data were used to thoroughly interpret the sensing mechanism. This work provided an effective method for the development of 2D fluorescent chemosensors for TEA detection.

Abstract
Detection of sub-ppm acetic acid (CH3COOH) is in demand for environmental gas monitoring. In this article, we propose a CH3COOH gas sensor based on Sn3O4 and reduced graphene oxide (RGO), where the assembly of Sn3O4-RGO nanocomposites is dependent on the synthesis method. Three nanocomposites prepared by three different synthesis methods are investigated. The optimum assembly is by hydrothermal reactions of Sn4+ salts and pre-reduced RGO (designated as RS nanocomposite). Raman spectra verified the fingerprint of RGO in the synthesized RS nanocomposite. The Sn3O4 planes of (111), (210), (130), (13¯2) are observed from the X-ray diffractogram, and its average crystallite size is 3.94 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy on Sn3d and O1s spectra confirm the stoichiometry of Sn3O4 with Sn:O ratio = 0.76. Sn3O4-RGO-RS exhibits the highest response of 74% and 4% at 2 and 0.3 ppm, respectively. The sensitivity within sub-ppm CH3COOH is 64%/ppm. Its superior sensing performance is owing to the embedded and uniformly wrapped Sn3O4 nanoparticles on RGO sheets. This allows a massive relative change in electron concentration at the Sn3O4-RGO heterojunction during the on/off exposure of CH3COOH. Additionally, the operation is performed at room temperature, possesses good repeatability, and consumes only ~4 µW, and is a step closer to the development of a commercial CH3COOH sensor.

Abstract
Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors have many advantages, but the main obstacle to their widespread use is the cross-sensitivity observed when using this type of detector to analyze gas mixtures. Thermal modulation of the heater integrated with a MOS gas sensor reduced this problem and is a promising solution for applications requiring the selective detection of volatile compounds. Nevertheless, the interpretation of the sensor output signals, which take the form of complex, unique patterns, is difficult and requires advanced signal processing techniques. The study focuses on the development of a methodology to measure and process the output signal of a thermally modulated MOS gas sensor based on a B-spline curve and artificial neural networks (ANNs), which enable the quantitative analysis of volatile components (ethanol and acetone) coexisting in mixtures. B-spline approximation applied in the first stage allowed for the extraction of relevant information from the gas sensor output voltage and reduced the size of the measurement dataset while maintaining the most vital features contained in it. Then, the determined parameters of the curve were used as the input vector for the ANN model based on the multilayer perceptron structure. The results show great usefulness of the combination of B-spline and ANN modeling techniques to improve response selectivity of a thermally modulated MOS gas sensor.
