Summary: Highly sensitive and fast detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in industrial and living environments is urgently needed. In this study, a Pd modified Co3O4 hollow polyhedral (Pd/Co3O4 HP) gas sensor was developed through one-step pyrolysis of a Pd doped MOF precursor. Near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAPXPS) was used to monitor the dynamic changes in the surface state of Pd/Co3O4 HP.

Summary: In this study, a new type of layered porous nickel oxide doped zinc oxide nanocomposite was synthesized using sunflower straw as a template. The results showed that the synthetic SFS NiO/ZnO successfully maintained the original pore morphology of the sunflower straw material and consisted of a large number of nanoparticles of uniform size and shape. The gas sensing performance of the prepared samples indicated that the SFS NiO/ZnO biocomposite had promising sensing performance for formaldehyde.

Summary: In this study, hierarchical hollow microspheres of CuO/WO3 assembled from 2D nanosheets were prepared and their sensing performance was evaluated. The CuO/WO3 sensors showed improved gas sensing performance compared to pristine WO3 sensor, with CuO/WO3-3 sensor exhibiting the highest response value and faster response-recovery speed towards xylene. The unique 3D hierarchical structure and p-n heterojunction of CuO-WO3 contribute to the enhanced sensing properties.

Summary: This study investigates the physical and chemical properties of porous silicon, as well as its application in optoelectronic devices. A setup was constructed to create uniform porous silicon with consistent pore diameter and depth, confirmed by FESEM measurements. Topography parameters and fractal dimensions were calculated and compared using AFM images. The optical band gap of silicon and porous silicon was also compared. The fabricated samples were then tested as gas sensors, exposed to ethanol and acetone vapors ranging from 100 to 400 ppm. Interesting results of the application of these samples are reported in the results section.

Summary: Constructing low-temperature nitric oxide sensors with fast detecting speed and high sensing response remains challenging. In this study, SnO2 sensing materials inherited from biotemplates were controllably prepared by immersing waste willow catkins in SnCl4 solution and calcining the precursors. The obtained SnO2-6 sensor showed ultra-high sensitivity and rapid monitoring ability towards NO at low temperature, with shortened response/recovery times and satisfactory selectivity, stability, and moisture resistance.

Summary: In this study, three types of nanosized SnO2 samples were synthesized and characterized. The sample calcined at 600 degrees C showed the highest response to H2S gas due to the presence of a higher amount of chemisorbed oxygen. The study also revealed the mechanism of H2S oxidation on the SnO2 surface.

Summary: A simple, low-cost and green approach was reported to obtain hierarchical ZnSnO3 porous nanostructures using branches of pterocarya stenoptera, catalpa and apricot as biotemplates. The hierarchical ZnSnO3 porous nanostructures showed excellent gas sensing properties, high responses, rapid response/recovery speed, anti-humidity properties, gas selectivity, repeatability, and long-term stability. The unique structural merits were attributed to the excellent gas sensing performance of ZnSnO3 based gas sensors.

In this study, miniature sensing elements based on planar microhotplates were developed for methane detection, showing improved sensor response but with hysteresis observed during cycling of the supply voltage. The phenomenon was studied using X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry under operando conditions, impacting the development of optimal working regimes for planar catalytic sensors on porous supports.

Summary: This paper presents a low-cost technology of microfluidic device fabrication on glass substrate using metal embossing. The technique involves thermocompression process and a patterned metal layer to define the device structure. Well-established photo-process from printed circuit board fabrication is used for planar geometry and the channel depth is determined by the thickness of the electroplated metal. The embossing technology provides a safer and cost-effective approach for batch processing and achieving reliable and repeatable microfluidic devices.
