The bandgap energy of alpha-Fe2O3/SnO2-RGO hybrids was reduced compared to SnO2 modified RGO hybrids, which facilitated the release of more electrons and formation of more oxygen ions at room temperature. The sensors showed excellent response towards NO2, with the alpha-Fe2O3/SnO2-RGO-15-based sensor achieving the highest response of 7.4 towards 1 ppm NO2. The sensor also demonstrated superior repeatability and potential application in NO2 detection.

Summary: This research proposes a facile and efficient colloidal assembly approach to prepare Au modified SnO2 hybrids (Au-SnO2) with perfect metal-semiconductor interface for DMMP detection. The optimized DMMP sensors based on Au-SnO2 hybrids exhibit excellent sensing performances, including high response, low operating temperature, extremely low limit of detection, and short response/recovery time. The synergy of chemical oxidation and physical adsorption between Au-SnO2 hybrids and DMMP is found to be the main reason for the outstanding sensing performances. This work provides insight into the DMMP sensing mechanism and offers a promising general approach for the development of high-performance gas sensors.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
