Hierarchically interconnected ZnO nanowires for low-temperature-operated reducing gas sensors: experimental and DFT studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The larger surface area and increased point contacts of hierarchically arranged ZnO nanowires (upper panel) offered more potential barriers for the gas molecule exhibiting binding strength CO < C2H5OH NH3 (lower provided excellent gas-sensing performance at 100 °C gas.

Electrospun ZnO Nanowires as Gas Sensors for Ethanol Detection
ZnO nanowires were produced using an electrospinning method and used in gas sensors for the detection of ethanol at 220 °C. This electrospinning technique allows the direct placement of ZnO nanowires during their synthesis to bridge the sensor electrodes. An excellent sensitivity of nearly 90% was obtained at a low ethanol concentration of 10 ppm, and the rest obtained at higher ethanol concent...
متن کاملHierarchically structured nanowires on and nanosticks in ZnO microtubes
We report both coaxial core-shell structured microwires and ZnO microtubes with growth of nanosticks in the inner and nanowires on the outer surface as a novel hierarchical micro/nanoarchitecture. First, a core-shell structure is obtained-the core is formed by metallic Zn and the semiconducting shell is comprised by a thin oxide layer covered with a high density of nanowires. Such Zn/ZnO core-s...
متن کاملMetal-Oxide Nanowires for Gas Sensors
In past decades, gas sensors based on the metal oxide semiconductors (MOSs) have been studied in diverse field for wide applications. A gas sensor is a device that can be used to detect various gas such as ethanol, LPG, CO2 and CO gases etc. The gas sensors based on MOSs such as SnO2, TiO2, WO3, ZnO, Fe2O3, and In2O3 have an important role in environmental monitor‐ ing, chemical process control...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
ZnO Nanowires/Nanobelts Structured CO Gas Sensor
Zinc oxide nanowires/nanobelts thin films were prepared by thermal evaporation deposition of Zn on two different kinds of substrates, namely Cr-glass and Cr-<100> n-type Si. ZnO nanostructured based COgas sensing thin films were formed, and the morphologies of these films were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The sensing response of the films toward CO gas at operating temper...
