Abstract
Nanocrystalline ZnO quantum dots (QD) with a diameter of 10 nm was synthesized and tested toward eight different toxic industrial chemicals (i.e., nitrogen dioxide (NO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4), ethanol (C2H5OH), acetone (CH3)2CO, and toluene (C6H5CH3)) with a broad concentration range at five different operating temperatures. Systemic studies allow to determine the kinetics of gas sensing as well as the competing reactions of analytes with sensing material and adsorbed oxygen. ZnO QD showed an excellent sensing performance toward NO2 and H2S in comparison to other target analytes. The selectivity can be further improved by controlling the operating temperature (i.e., higher selectivity toward NO2 and H2S were achieved at 300 °C and 450 °C, respectively). Moreover, the optimal temperature was found to be analyte dependent.
期刊介绍：
Sensors and Actuators Reports is a peer-reviewed open access journal launched out from the Sensors and Actuators journal family. Sensors and Actuators Reports is dedicated to publishing new and original works in the field of all type of sensors and actuators, including bio-, chemical-, physical-, and nano- sensors and actuators, which demonstrates significant progress beyond the current state of the art. The journal regularly publishes original research papers, reviews, and short communications.
For research papers and short communications, the journal aims to publish the new and original work supported by experimental results and as such purely theoretical works are not accepted.
