Summary: In this study, the sensitization of Pt catalyst was investigated on ZnO single nanowire sensors by both atomic layer deposition and solution method. The size of Pt increased from single atom to an average of 11.86 nm with increasing ALD cycles, resulting in a decrease in sensor resistance. The nanowire sensor with a medium Pt loading of 0.61 at% and a size of 3.95 nm showed the best response of 7.01 to 20 ppm NO2, with a 5-fold enhancement compared to pristine ZnO. These findings highlight the crucial effect of Pt size in chemical sensors.

Summary: This investigation proposed a novel method, based on digital holography, to detect the vacuum degree of vacuum glass. The results showed that the deformation of the monocrystalline silicon film in an optical pressure sensor could respond to the attenuation of the vacuum degree of vacuum glass. Using experimental data, a linear relationship between pressure differences and the optical pressure sensor's deformations was obtained, and the vacuum degree of the vacuum glass was calculated. The digital holographic detection system proved to be able to measure the vacuum degree of vacuum glass quickly and accurately.

Summary: In this work, intrinsic and p-type ZnO nanowires were successfully synthesized and used to fabricate strain sensors and homogenous p-n junction ZnO devices. The nanowires were grown using different methods and exhibited good rectification characteristics, but electroluminescence was difficult to achieve due to low carrier concentration in the ZnO single crystal.
