研究目的
To develop an ultra-sensitive, room temperature, flexible transparent LPG sensor based on a CdO/graphene nanocomposite.
研究成果
The CdO/graphene (1 wt.%) nanocomposite sensor demonstrated high sensitivity (77% at 600 ppm LPG), excellent selectivity, stability, and flexibility at room temperature. It offers a cost-effective, low-power solution for wearable and flexible environmental pollution detection devices, with potential for real-life and industrial applications.
研究不足
The sensor's performance may be affected by humidity variations, as sensitivity decreased with increasing relative humidity. Optimization under different environmental conditions and testing with other gases like propane and CO2 are needed for broader applicability.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing CdO/graphene nanocomposites with different graphene weight percentages (1, 2, 3 wt.%) using an ultrasonic-assisted synthesis method. The nanocomposites were characterized using XRD, UV-vis, and Raman spectroscopy. A chemiresistive sensing approach was employed using a four-probe technique for LPG detection.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included CdO nanoparticles and CdO/graphene nanocomposites with varying graphene concentrations. LPG gas was used as the analyte, with concentrations ranging from 100 to 800 ppm.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a homemade gas sensing setup with mass flow controllers (Aalborg, USA), a precision multimeter (Keithley-2750), stainless steel mixing and sensing chambers, and interdigitated electrodes (IDEs). Materials included CdO, graphene, zero air (Bhuruka Gases Ltd.), and LPG.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The nanocomposite was deposited as a film on IDEs. The sensor was placed in a sensing chamber, and electrical resistance was measured at a constant bias voltage of 0.5 V using the multimeter. Gas concentrations were controlled via mass flow controllers, and sensing experiments were conducted at room temperature and higher temperatures. Response and recovery times were monitored.
5：5 V using the multimeter. Gas concentrations were controlled via mass flow controllers, and sensing experiments were conducted at room temperature and higher temperatures. Response and recovery times were monitored.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: Sensor response (S) was calculated as (Ra - Rg)/Ra * 100, where Ra is resistance in air and Rg is resistance in gas. Data were analyzed for sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and reproducibility.
