Abstract
In this paper, Au-modified Co3O4 hollow nanospheres/graphene composites (Au-Co3O4/rGO) were synthesized for the first time through a novel “one-pot cooking” method at ambient temperature. The hollow nanospheres exhibited a particle size of approximately 10–15 nm, while the modified Au nanoparticles were about 4–5 nm in diameter. A high-efficiency and high response H2S gas sensor was constructed based on Au-Co3O4/rGO ternary composites. The effects of different Au modifying mass ratios on the H2S gas-sensitive performance of the composites were systematically investigated. At an operational temperature of 92 °C, the Au-Co3O4/rGO sensor, incorporating an Au loading mass ratio of 1.3 wt%, exhibited a response value of 175.4 for H2S at 100 ppm, a recovery time of 30 s, and a detection limit reaching as low as 10 ppb. This response was tripled compared to the undoped Co3O4/rGO sensor. At the same time, the H2S sensing mechanism by Au-Co3O4/rGO was discussed in detail.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
