Chemiresistive CO2 sensing is attractive due to low cost and ease of chip-level integration. Our previous studies (Yong Xia, 2021) showed the well-developed ZnO material fabricated by in-situ annealing exhibited good CO2 sensing performance. Here, we have expanded on those studies, including CO2 cyclic tests under both dry air and N2 background whereby a much higher response to CO2 in N2 background was observed. Detailed density functional theory calculations were conducted to understand the behavior. The results indicated nitrogen doping is mainly responsible for the observed response. In...

While metal oxides and metal sulfides have been extensively studied for gas sensing applications, there are no extensive reports on gas sensing properties of metal diborides. Here, for the first time, we have investigated the conductometric gas sensing behavior of HfB2 nanoparticles. The HfB2 nanoparticles is synthesized via a sol-gel method and characterized using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The gas sensor is fabricated by drop casting the HfB2 nanoparticles on interdigitated Ag/Pd...

2019
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous, crystalline materials constructed by extending the linkages between inorganic and organic molecular building blocks through strong bonds. Because of their high porosities, accessible interconnected pore structures, and designable backbones, MOFs have been used in applications ranging from as catalystsupports, membrane substrates, sensing layers, and casting templates...
