Analyte kinetics in a nanocluster-based chemiresistor: A case study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nanoparticulate metal–insulator–metal ensemble chemiresistors in which the Au nanoclusters are functionalized with mercaptohexanoic acid are investigated as sensors of amines, and especially of triethylamine to which they are found to be extraordinarily sensitive with a minimum detectable level of less than 500 ppt. The dependences of the response on dose, time, and temperature are studied in detail. Modeling indicates that the entire data set is well explained by the interaction of partitioning and diffusion processes, both of which are temperature dependent. Published by Elsevier B.V.

A density functional theory study of the correlation between analyte basicity, ZnPc adsorption strength, and sensor response.
Density functional theory (DFT) simulations were used to determine the binding strength of 12 electron-donating analytes to the zinc metal center of a zinc phthalocyanine molecule (ZnPc monomer). The analyte binding strengths were compared to the analytes' enthalpies of complex formation with boron trifluoride (BF(3)), which is a direct measure of their electron donating ability or Lewis basici...
متن کاملVapor Trace Recognition Using a Single Nonspecific Chemiresistor
An application of spectral analysis to the transient response signals of ALD-fabricated conductometric sensors (chemiresistors) upon exposure to short vapor pulses is discussed. It is based on the representation of a response curve in the frequency domain, followed by the multi-dimensional Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) for analyte identification. Compared to the standard steady-state am...
متن کاملThe formate and redox mechanisms of water-gas shift reaction on the surface of Ag: A nanocluster model based on DFT study
Two different possible mechanisms of water gas shift reaction including formate and redox mechanisms on the Ag5 cluster were investigated using DFT computations. All the elementary steps involved in both mechanisms were considered. It was observed that dissociation of H2Oads and OHads, as well as formation of CO2(ads), required activation e...
متن کاملModeling Chemiresistor Sensors 1: Conductivity Model
Chemiresistor sensors made from carbon black – polyisobutylene composite, perform based on the change of the resistivity of the composite when they swell in the analytes. Two models are necessary to describe the mechanism of carbon-polymer chemiresistors theoretically: the conductivity model and the thermodynamic model. In this work, the conductivity model was studied. Sixty-four chemiresistors...
