Acetone is an important industrial raw material as well as biomarker in medical diagnosis. The detection of acetone has great significance for safety and health. However, high selectivity and low concentration (ppb level) detection remain challenges for semiconductor gas sensor. Herein, we present a novel sensitive material with bimetallic PtCu nanocrystal modified on WO3 center dot H2O hollow spheres (HS), which shows high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, fast response/recovery speed and low limit of detection (LOD) to acetone detection. Noteworthy, the response (R-a/R-g) of WO3 center dot H2O HS sensor increased by 9.5 times after modification with 0.02% bimetallic PtCu nanocrystals. The response of PtCu/WO3 center dot H2O HS to 50 ppm acetone is as high as 204.9 with short response/recovery times (3.4 s/7.5 s). Finally, the gas-sensitivity mechanism was discussed based on gas sensitivity test results. This research will offer a new route for high efficient acetone detection.

Summary: Micro-LEDs, as a new display technology, have advantages such as low power consumption, high brightness, high resolution, and fast response time, but their efficiency is reduced by strong surface non-radiative recombination. In this study, an ion implantation method was used to improve the luminous efficiency of GaN-based Micro-LEDs by inhibiting carrier surface non-radiative recombination, resulting in a 7-fold increase in photoluminescence intensity and a 33% increase in external quantum efficiency of the packaged Micro-LEDs chip. This research provides a new direction for improving the photoelectric performance of Micro-LEDs.

Construction of SnO2 nanofibers @ MoS2 nanosheets core-shell nanocomposites for high efficiency xylene detection

Guangzhi Yang, Chenkai Cao, Haoran Zhong, Yu Cheng, Wenhui Zhang, Ding Wang

Summary: A novel xylene sensitive material (SnO2@MoS2) was constructed, which demonstrated low operating temperature, fast response speed, sufficient detection limit, and satisfactory selectivity for safety protection. The SnO2@MoS2 sensor showed a much higher response to 23.5-100 ppm xylene vapor compared to single-component sensors, with response/recovery times of 21.5/60.4 s and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.5 ppm. The excellent sensitivity was attributed to the unique resistance characteristics of the hierarchical structure, regulation of electronic properties by heterojunctions, and the increase of adsorption sites due to large specific surface areas and surface defects. This work provides a novel strategy for the construction of MoS2-based core-shell hierarchical nanomaterials and the future development of high-efficiency xylene sensors.
