The characterization of a custom-designed GC-based SAW e-Nose sensor system is presented here to study the sensing ability of the sensor system to detect and identify low medium and high toxic vapors. A semi-automated multi-vapor generator generates vapors of chemical compounds that are then exposed to the sensing system to examine its performance under various concentrations. Time-domain verses frequency response of GC-SAW Sensor is noted for repeated cycles against different chemical compounds like xylene, 1,2 dibromoethane, dimethyl sulfate, triethyl phosphate, nitrobenzene, phosphorous trichloride being tested. The generated data is examined using a principle component analysis (PCA) technique to detect a unique response for an individual chemical compound. Experimental results are reported.

TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2) and Ag-doped TiO2 nanocomposites (Ag-TiO2) were synthesized by the Sol-Gel process using titanium tetra isopropoxide as TiO2 and AgNO3 as Ag precursors, respectively. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, FT-IR, and UV-Visible analysis. The XRD results show that Ag doping increases the grain size from 22 nm to 36 nm. From the UV-Visible spectra, the redshift in absorbance was observed, which indicates the increase in grain size and it reduces the bandgap. The TEM analysis shows that all the particles are exhibited in the nanometer range. The synthesized nanoparticles show good photocatalytic activity, and they decompose the methyl orange dye within 5 hours.

The hydrothermal method was used to synthesize hexagonal 3-5 nm Cadmium Sulfide Quantum Dots (CdS QDs) with Delonix elata leaves’ aqueous extract as a capping agent. The synthesized CdS QDs were characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis, XRD, FE-SEM spectroscopies. The anticorrosion activity of the CdS QDs-coated Zn plate was exanimated under 1 M HCl, 6 M KOH, 3.5% NaCl electrolytic medium. The best corrosion resistance was achieved through the application of the CdS QDs coating on the Zn metal surface.
