Is entropy relevant to gas sensor? The case of spinel (CuCoNiCrMn)3O4 for NO2 detection
In recent years, high-entropy oxides (HEOs) have attracted significant attention owing to the synergistic effects arising from their multi-elemental structure. In this study, we investigate spinel (CuCoNiCrMn)3O4 HEO as a selective sensor for NO2. A comprehensive investigation of its crystal structure, micromorphology, elemental information, and gas sensing properties has been conducted. Gas sensor tests show that the (CuCoNiCrMn)3O4 HEO delivers a dramatic and selective response to NO2. To further explore the impact of entropy on sensor properties, medium-entropy Mn0.2Ni0.8Fe2O4, Ni0.99Co0.01Mn0.01Fe1.99O4 and low-entropy NiMn2O4 have also been synthesized and evaluated. Both experimental and density function theory studies demonstrate that the (CuCoNiCrMn)3O4 HEO exhibits superior sensing performance, attributable to enhanced charge transfer and significant orbital hybridization between Co atoms in (CuCoNiCrMn)3O4 HEO and O atoms in NO2. This work addresses the relationship between configuration entropy (ΔSconfig) and gas sensing properties, thereby advancing the exploration of HEO materials for high performance sensor applications.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
