Selective Detection of NO2 Using Cr-Doped CuO Nanorods

Selective Detection of NO2 Using Cr-Doped CuO Nanorods

CuO nanosheets, Cr-doped CuO nanosheets, and Cr-doped CuO nanorods were prepared by heating a slurry containing Cu-hydroxide/Cr-hydroxide. Their responses to 100 ppm NO(2), C(2)H(5)OH, NH(3), trimethylamine, C(3)H(8), and CO were measured. For 2.2 at% Cr-doped CuO nanorods, the response (R(a)/R(g), R(a): resistance in air, R(g): resistance in gas) to 100 ppm NO(2) was 134.2 at 250 °C, which was...

Selective colorimetric detection of Cr(iii) and Cr(vi) using gallic acid capped gold nanoparticles.

A colorimetric assay is proposed for the selective detection of Cr(iii) and Cr(vi) via the aggregation-induced color change of gallic acid capped gold nanoparticles (GA-AuNPs). The AuNPs are characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). To detect Cr(iii) and Cr(vi) coexisting i...

NO2 Detection Using Microcantilever Based Potentiometry

A highly sensitive and novel sensor platform for gases and volatile chemicals using microcantilever based potentiometry is reported. A resonant cantilever is used to detect the changes in surface work functions of functionalized substrates caused by adsorption of target gas molecules. Surface work function (SWF) changes were measured for different functionalization layers made of transition met...

Selective detection of NO2 and C2H5OH using a Co3O4-decorated ZnO nanowire network sensor.

The selective detection of two different gases, NO(2) and C(2)H(5)OH, has been achieved using a p-type Co(3)O(4)-decorated n-type ZnO nanowire (NW) network sensor. The gas selectivity was explained by the catalytic effect of nanocrystalline Co(3)O(4) and the extension of the electron depletion layer via the formation of p-n junctions.
