CO₂ sensors are majorly based on solid-state materials, but they require high operating temperatures. Recently, two-dimensional materials have been explored to achieve room-temperature CO₂ detection. Among them, graphene and MXene gained attraction owing to their outstanding chemical and electronic properties. Sensing materials’ properties such as surface and electrical properties are very crucial to achieve highly sensitive gas sensors. In this work, we comprehensively investigate and compare the impact of surface-electrical properties of graphene and MXene on their CO₂ sensors’ performance. Initially, we synthesize and characterize the surface-electrical properties of functionalized graphene (FG) and Ti₃C₂T_x MXene. Later, chemiresistive CO₂ gas sensors are fabricated with these materials as sensing layers and their performance is examined. From material characterizations, we find that MXene surface is more hydrophilic, showing 1.5-fold higher interfacial energy, and has ~ 1.2-fold higher electrical conductivity than FG, whereas FG demonstrates lower surface roughness and outstanding stability over the period. The sensing behavior of both sensors is found to be repeatable, selective, and reproducible. The CO₂ sensor with the MXene layer reveals a lower response/recovery time (12/17 s) than that of FG (32/43 s). Also, MXene-based sensor exhibits a 25% response, revealing a 6% higher gas response than FG-based sensor. However, from the stability point of view, FG sensor outperforms the MXene sensors.

AlSi-polymer composite abradable coatings are commonly employed for such applications to serve as sacrificial materials while maintaining the pressure within compressors and seals. However, these coatings can face premature failure during operation, particularly due to corrosion and erosion. More specifically, due to the ductile behavior of AlSi-polymer-based abradables, the erosion rates at low impingement angles are particularly high. Thus, there is a strong desire to develop an abradable system capable of maintaining high erosion resistance at various impingement angles while maintaining suitable abradability (i.e., high wear of the abradable during interaction with the blade tip). The main purpose of this study is to critically evaluate the influence of Ni in AlSi-polymer-based abradable coatings on their erosion and tribological performance. The AlSi-polymer powders were mechanically mixed to develop the powders that were subsequently deposited using atmospheric plasma spray (APS). Microstructure analysis using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and HR15Y hardness tests was employed to assess the microstructural and mechanical properties of the coating. Ball-on-flat, ball-on-disk, and air jet erosion tests were performed, followed by ex situ surface analysis to elucidate the wear mechanism. The results revealed that the incorporation of Ni preserved the lamellar microstructure characteristic of AlSi and polyester abradable coatings, while concurrently decreasing average wear rates at lower impingement angles, as observed throughout the erosion tests.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science","volume":"59 48","pages":"22266 - 22282"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142811070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
