Summary: In this study, p-type oxide semiconductors Co3O4 and complex oxides NixCo3-xO4 (x = 0.04, 0.07, 0.1) were investigated for sub-ppm H2S sensing in dry and humid air. The sensor signal decreased with increasing Ni content due to a decrease in chemisorbed surface oxygen species, while it increased with rising relative humidity, indicating better surface regeneration and reactivity of surface hydroxyl groups.

Summary: Resistive-type semiconductor-based gas sensors were fabricated for detecting methyl mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide, with VWT particles deposited on electrodes. The resistance of VWT gas sensor decreased with increasing gas concentrations, showing high responses and good gas selectivity against hydrogen at 300 degrees C for 3 wt.% vanadium oxide-containing sensors.

Summary: The H2S gas sensing characteristics of a polysilicon control-gate (CG) FET-type gas sensor were studied. A 15 nm thick layer of In2O3 deposited via radio frequency magnetron sputtering was used as the sensing material. The modified FET-type gas sensor with polysilicon control-gate showed better gas sensing characteristics, especially when the VCG2 terminal was open. The sensing mechanism for detecting H2S gas in FET-type gas sensors was examined, and the sensor was able to detect up to 5 ppm of H2S gas.

Summary: A nanocrystalline CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy with nano-multiphase structure was prepared by laser evaporation source using inert gas condensation, exhibiting unexpected ferromagnetic behavior and significantly increased Curie temperature. The saturation magnetization and Curie temperature of the alloy can be controlled through heat treatment, attributed to the formation and structural evolution of magnetic nanophases during annealing, expanding the design toolbox for high-performance nc-HEAs based on laser-IGC technique.

Summary: CuO-doped SnO2 nanoparticles with different CuO mass fractions were synthesized by flame spray pyrolysis and applied to thin-film gas sensors for H2S detection. The optimal sensor with 0.5 wt% CuO doping showed the highest response to 10 ppm H2S at 125 degrees C, indicating its potential for practical industrial applications.

Summary: Constructing a porous structure has been proven to be an effective way to improve the gas sensing properties of metal oxide semiconducting materials. In this study, high-performance hydrogen sulfide gas sensing materials with a porous structure were synthesized by growing nickel oxide on vanadium trioxide seeds. These materials exhibit high response, fast response time, wide linear range, and good stability.

Summary: Fluorine-functionalized graphitic carbon nitride enhances the detection response to H2S, showing higher sensitivity and longer lifespan. The F-gC(3)N(4)-based sensor also exhibits higher CTL responses in the range of 1.27 to 64.00 μg/mL, with a lower detection limit of 0.07 μg/mL compared to previously reported metal-free catalyst-based sensors.

Summary: The La0.88Sr0.12MnO3 nanocrystalline, synthesized by sol-gel chemical method, undergoes a typical paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition at 280 K. Critical behavior analysis of magnetization isotherms using various techniques confirms accurate critical exponents (β = 0.5936(2) and γ = 1.0928(6)). These exponents satisfy the Widom scaling relation δ = 1 + γ/β and the single scaling equation of H/M-δ = h(ε/H-1/β). The slight deviation of the obtained critical exponents from theoretical values is attributed to the inherent disorder effect caused by the reduction of La0.88Sr0.12MnO3 particle size to the nanoscale.
