Sol-Gel Thin Films for Plasmonic Gas Sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plasmonic gas sensors are optical sensors that use localized surface plasmons or extended surface plasmons as transducing platform. Surface plasmons are very sensitive to dielectric variations of the environment or to electron exchange, and these effects have been exploited for the realization of sensitive gas sensors. In this paper, we review our research work of the last few years on the synthesis and the gas sensing properties of sol-gel based nanomaterials for plasmonic sensors.

Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanostructured Thin Film by Sol- Gel Method and Evaluation of Gas Sensing Properties
Ethanol (C2H6O) sensitivity of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film has been studied in present work. Semiconductor thin films of zinc oxide (ZnO) were deposited onto alkali-free glass substrates by the sol–gel method and dip-coating technique. The ZnO sol was synthesized by dissolving zinc acetate dehydrate in ethanol, and then adding Tetra ethanol-amine. The as-coated films were preheated at 150 ºC fo...
متن کاملElectrochemical Sensors for the Detection of Hydrogen Prepared by PLD and Sol–Gel Chemistry
Two different series of H2 sensors were prepared. The first series was based on n-type semiconducting SnO2 thin films, prepared by the sol–gel method. The effect of Au and Pt nanoparticles in SnO2 was investigated for gas sensor applications. The second series was based on p-type NiO thin films, which were grown by pulsed laser deposition on microscope glass or (100) Si substrates. The effect o...
متن کاملStudies on sol-gel dip-coated nanostructured ZnO thin films
Nanostructured ZnO thin films were prepared by sol-gel dip coating technique. Zinc acetate and ammonium hydroxide were used as precursors and ethanol was as solvent. Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) solution was added drop-wise under vigorous stirring to obtain the sol-gel of different pH (varying from 6.9 to 7.2). ZnO thin films were obtained by dipping the glass substrates for few seconds and then ...
متن کاملNew Sol-Gel Solution with 45 Days Stability for Preparation Silica Thin Films
As we know sol-gel is one of the most important techniques for thin film preparation. In this paper, high transmission silica thin films have been prepared by dip-coating process from a new silicon-alkoxide solution. The prepared sol was stable for 45 days which is very important to characterize the coating process. The optical properties as a function of aging time, withdrawal rate, and he...
متن کاملA Micro Oxygen Sensor Based on a Nano Sol-Gel TiO2 Thin Film
An oxygen gas microsensor based on nanostructured sol-gel TiO2 thin films with a buried Pd layer was developed on a silicon substrate. The nanostructured titania thin films for O2 sensors were prepared by the sol-gel process and became anatase after heat treatment. A sandwich TiO2 square board with an area of 350 μm × 350 μm was defined by both wet etching and dry etching processes and the wet ...
