Abstract
High-entropy engineering strategies have achieved success in enhancing energy storage and catalytic performances but are rarely reported to improve gas-sensing dynamics, especially for room-temperature gas sensing. Herein, single-phase spinel high-entropy oxide (FeCoNiCrMn)3O4 has been synthesized by electrospinning and authenticated by XRD Rietveld refinement simulation, configuration entropy calculation, and element mapping. For the first time, the as-prepared alkalized high-entropy oxide (FeCoNiCrMn)3O4 shows room-temperature trimethylamine gas-sensing properties, including superior sensing response (113%), high gas selectivity, fast response/recovery speed (11 s/28 s), as well as preferable repeatability and reliability toward 500 ppm of trimethylamine gas. Gas-sensing tests of comparative samples obtained by replacing and reducing metal ions validate that the synergistic effect by Fe, Co, Ni, Cr, and Mn ions enables (FeCoNiCrMn)3O4 to exhibit room-temperature trimethylamine gas sensing, while more lattice distortion, adsorbed oxygen, and oxygen vacancies generated by alkalization treatment further heighten trimethylamine gas adsorption and catalyze surface gas-sensing reactions. The coupling of high entropy and alkalization strategy opens up a new path for improving room-temperature gas sensing.
期刊介绍:
ACS Sensors is a peer-reviewed research journal that focuses on the dissemination of new and original knowledge in the field of sensor science, particularly those that selectively sense chemical or biological species or processes. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to biosensors, chemical sensors, gas sensors, intracellular sensors, single molecule sensors, cell chips, and microfluidic devices. It aims to publish articles that address conceptual advances in sensing technology applicable to various types of analytes or application papers that report on the use of existing sensing concepts in new ways or for new analytes.
