Reduced Graphene Oxide–TiO2 Nanotube Composite: Comprehensive Study for Gas Sensing Applications
摘要： Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) have unique properties that can revolutionize performances of functional devices. Graphene-based materials can be coupled with metal oxide nanomaterials for gas sensing applications. In this work, we report the synthesis and the gas sensing properties of a composite material based on RGO loaded TiO2 nanotubes. To properly tune the reduction of GO to RGO we adopted a gas-phase process that can be applied in situ on each gas sensor device, allowing to track the process effects through the sensor conductance. We systematically investigated the gas-response dependence from RGO loading and its reduction, showing the occurrence of an optimal RGO concentration arising from the interplay of these two parameters. Hence, these two factors should be considered in parallel to functionalize the metal oxide materials with GO for the fabrication of chemical sensor devices.

Characterization of Evanescent Field Gas Sensor Structures Based on Silicon Photonics
摘要： Photonic sensors that operate in the mid-infrared spectral range are an emerging field for photonic microsystems. In this paper, we present a photonic gas sensor concept based on silicon waveguides using infrared evanescent field absorption. The waveguides were specifically designed for CO2 sensing at a wavelength of λ = 4.26 μm as possible application for the proposed sensor platform. The waveguide cross section as well as the substructure were investigated using finite-element simulations and the devised structures were fabricated using mass fabrication processes exclusively. In order to evaluate the potential for long interaction path lengths using polysilicon strip waveguides, a study on the intrinsic losses of polysilicon waveguides was conducted. The lowest intrinsic damping that was obtained for polysilicon strip waveguides was 3.98 dB/cm. Furthermore, the sensing capability of the devised waveguides was tested with quantitative CO2 measurements down to a concentration of 500 ppm CO2. From the quantitative measurements, the evanescent field ratio was estimated and was in the range between η = 14%–16%.
