研究目的
The development of a low power-operable formaldehyde (HCHO) gas sensor with high sensitivity and selectivity for potential applications to portable gas sensors.
研究成果
The fabricated bridge-type micro-platform integrated with Au-decorated In2O3 nanofibers demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity for HCHO gases at low power consumption. The size and distribution of Au nanoparticles significantly influenced the sensing performance. The sensor showed potential for portable gas sensing applications.
研究不足
The reliability and durability of the nanostructured sensing material-based gas sensors detectable at low temperature is challenging due to unstable base lines after exposure to target gases, slow recovery time and reduced life time.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Utilization of nanostructured materials and appropriate catalysts with sensing materials to exhibit enhanced sensing properties with lower temperature. Employment of a micro-platform to reach high temperature with low power consumption.
