研究目的
To develop and evaluate an optoelectronic gas sensor based on hierarchically structured ZnO nanorods/Ag nano?bers composites for enhanced gas sensitivity at room temperature under UV illumination.
研究成果
The hierarchically structured ZnO/Ag nano?bers hybrid composite exhibits enhanced gas sensing abilities towards NO2, ethanol, CO, and CH4 under UV irradiation at room temperature, attributed to effective photo-generated electrons and charge transfer forming a built-in electric field at the interface.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific gases (NO2, ethanol, CO, CH4) and room temperature conditions with UV illumination; potential optimizations could include testing under varying environmental conditions or with other gas types.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a facile solution and polyol method for on-chip fabrication of ZnO/Ag nanocomposites to enhance gas sensing performance through built-in electric field formation and UV light assistance.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples include pristine hierarchically structured ZnO nanorods and ZnO/Ag nano?ber composites, synthesized using analytical grade reagents without further purification.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes X-ray diffractometer (SHIMADZU-6000), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FEI QAUANTA400), transmission electron microscopy (JEM-2010), and CGS-1TP intelligent gas sensing analysis system. Materials include AgNO3, ethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, acetone, alcohol, and Te?on-lined autoclave.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis involves dissolving AgNO3 in ethylene glycol, adding PVP-EG solution, heating in autoclave at 160°C for 2h, washing and drying precipitates, dispersing Ag nano?bers in alcohol, and coating on ZnO nanorods via spray method. Gas sensing measurements are performed using CGS-1TP system under UV illumination (365 nm, 1.2 mW/cm2) at room temperature.
5：2 mW/cm2) at room temperature.
