Article Abstract

The present paper demonstrated the impedance analysis of Au/TiOnanoparticles/Si-Al capacitive sensor for selective detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at different frequency regimes. TiOnanoparticles (NP) were synthesized through the solution process and characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy , x-ray diffraction analysis, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The gas sensitivity of Au/TiONP/Si-Al was investigated, with the effect of temperature modulation (25 °C-250 °C) and dielectric variation in the vicinity of nanoparticles. Impedance spectroscopy of TiONP was carried out to obtain resonant peaks over the frequency ranging from 0.05 to 225 kHz and fitted with a complex nonlinear least-squares method. The optimum sensor response of 136%, 63%, 152%, and 174% was found at resonant frequencies of 0.38 kHz, 0.22 kHz, 0.15 kHz, and 0.1 kHz for the exposure of 2-propanol, acetone, ethanol, and methanol, respectively. The fastest response time and recovery time were found to be 32/21 s, 31.2/8 s, 32.5/9 s, and 40/26 s for acetone, 2-propanol, ethanol, and methanol, respectively. Selective detection of different VOCs at various resonant frequencies has correlated with the dielectric variation of the NPs and their associated void region under gas exposure.

Wearable sensors integrated with deep learning techniques have the potential to revolutionize seamless human-machine interfaces for real-time health monitoring, clinical diagnosis, and robotic applications. Nevertheless, it remains a critical challenge to simultaneously achieve desirable mechanical and electrical performance along with biocompatibility, adhesion, self-healing, and environmental robustness with excellent sensing metrics. Herein, we report a multifunctional, anti-freezing, self-adhesive, and self-healable organogel pressure sensor composed of cobalt nanoparticle encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CoN CNT) embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin (PVA/GLE) matrix.

A novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based electrochemical sensor has been developed for the selective detection of naringenin (NAR) in various real-world samples, including plant extracts, wine, and herbal supplements. To enhance the active surface area and porosity of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE), a 2D/0D nanocomposite composed of graphene oxide (GO) and cobalt ferrite (CFO) nanoparticles, CFO_GO, was incorporated into the sensor design. 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) was selected as the functional monomer to prepare the MIPs.

The present work elucidates the role of lattice oxygen vacancies (Vs) in SrTiO (STO) nanoparticles on the spin dynamics of photogenerated charge carriers (electrons/holes, e/h) and on the photocatalytic hydrogen (H) evolution from HO. V-enriched STO materials (V-STO) were synthesized via anoxic flame spray pyrolysis (A-FSP) technology that allowed production of a library of SrTiO nanomaterials with controlled V concentrations. The optimal V-STO materials exhibited a 200% increase in photocatalytic H production rates compared with pristine STO.
