NO2 gas Sensing characteristics of thin films of Zinc oxide obtained by spray pyrolysis were studied. The film thickness was about 550nm. The effect of indium doping on the sensor performance were also studied. The sensing behavior in the temperature range of 100–225°C was measured to find out the optimal working temperature.

As more and more demands are placed on sensors in terms of points of application, environment, ease of use, sensitivity and overall performance, availability of information, etc., new materials, configurations and technologies are required to deliver systems that can meet stringent and uncompromising application requirements. This presentation will examine the role of nanomaterials in sensing and focus on controlled their manipulation at the nano- and molecular levels to provide engineered interfaces that can meet current and future demands.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis using nanostructured semiconductors constitute one of the emerging advanced oxidation processes (AOP) for destructive oxidation of organic contaminants in water or air. Water and wastewater treatment is a matter of global concern. With more stringent control measures being imposed to protect the source of fresh water it is imperative for the industries to bring down the concentration of hazardous pollutants in their effluents to the permissible level by adequate treatment. Water reuse and recycle has therefore acquired a great importance as the availability of fresh water will control our economic growth more than anything else, since it is basic need of life and has no substitute. The present day wastewater treatment plant for industries as well as domestic water purifiers are mostly using primary and secondary treatment processes. However, in order to comply with the stringent environmental norms more efficient treatment will be required and addition of tertiary treatment step like heterogeneous photocatalysis which ensure the complete mineralization of pollutants has thus become necessary.TiO2 is the most used photocatalyst because of its high efficiency, nontoxicity, chemical and biological stability, and low cost. Herein we report the photocatalytic applications of prepared rutile Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles, prepared by reverse microemulsion process using a non-ionic surfactant Triton X-100 as a template at room temperature. The as synthesized TiO2 samples were characterized by XRD, FTIR, BET, SEM and TEM. X-ray diffraction study shows pure rutile TiO2 Nanopatricles. TEM image shows spherical TiO2 Nanoparicles having average size 57 nm. As prepared rutile TiO2 sample were used for the photocatalytic degradations of Methylene Blue Dye, Rhodamine B Dye and p-Nitrophenol. % COD reduction shows 83% degradation for Methylene Blue, 84% for Rhodamine B and 76% for p-Nitrophenol within 150 min only. The photocatalytic reaction shows first order kinetics.

α-Fe2O3 nanorods have been prepared at low temperature by a facile surfactant free chemical route. The advantage of this method is good composition control and homogeneity. The products were characterized using various physicochemical characterization techniques such as X-ray Diffractometry, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Visible spectroscopy and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy. These powders were further studied for their humidity sensing performance. The sensors exhibited quick responses for change in the humidity. The resistance systematically varies by four orders of magnitude on exposure to humidity from 20 to 90 % RH.

In this paper we show a novel chemo-mechanical-optical sensing mechanism in single and multi-layer hydrogel coated Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) and demonstrate specific application in pH activated processes. The sensing device is based on the ionizable monomers inside the hydrogel which reversibly dissociates as a function of the pH and consequently resulting in osmotic pressure difference between the gel and the solution. This pressure gradient causes the hydrogel to deform which in turn induces secondary strain on the FBG sensor resulting in shift in the Bragg wavelength. We also report on the sensitivity factor of single and multilayer hydrogel coated FBG at various different pH.

Low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC)-technology, which is widely used for packaging and manufacturing high frequency RF components, is used for fabrication of micro-hotplates (MHP). Gas sensors produced using this technology leads to low power consumption (500 mW for 226 °C) due to low thermal conductivity (3–4 W/(m-K)). For small series, this technology is remarkably inexpensive compared to the expensive silicon technology. Thermal properties such as temperature distribution and power consumption have been investigated using FEM (Finite Element Method) simulations. Mathematical modeling of these hotplates is also done in accordance with the simulated results.

In this paper, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) array incorporating three FBGs in SMG-28 fiber with distinct centre wavelengths at 1545.01 nm, 1550.03 nm and 1555.03 nm has been investigated for multipoint sensing of monotonic temperature fields. The response and sensitivity of the commercially available FBG array is compared with OptiGrating 4.2.1 simulations. The findings can be used for optimizing the key parameters of FBG array sensor for cost effective and spectrally enhanced multipoint and distributed sensors.

Nominal compositions of general formula In2−xMnxO3−δ were prepared by solid-state route and their electrical conductivity and hydrogen sensing characteristics were investigated. With manganese addition, the conductivity was found to increase initially and then decrease while the activation energy for the conduction process was increasing. In1.99Mn0.01O3-δ, In1.985Mn0.015O3-δ, In1.98Mn0.02O3-δ were found to sense 100 vppm to 2 % of hydrogen at 623 K. Preliminary results indicated the possibility of two types of gas sensing mechanisms operating at low and high concentrations of hydrogen in air.
