Design and fabrication of enhanced room temperature NH3 sensors based on Sn-doped WO3 thin films deposited using nebulizer spray pyrolysis technique
The growing need for effective room temperature (RT) NH3 gas sensors stems from potential health risks associated with NH3 exposure. This research introduces WO3:Sn (0–5 wt%) thin films, prepared via nebulizer-assisted spray pyrolysis, as novel NH3 sensing materials. The crystallite structure analysis confirmed the hexagonal crystal structure of WO3 films, with 3 wt% Sn-doping showing increased crystallinity. The morphological study revealed a unique mesh-like porous surface morphology in Sn-doped films, conducive to gas adsorption/desorption processes. Optical analysis showed bandgap reduction in WO3 thin films up to 3 wt% doping. Photoluminescence (PL) study confirms the increase in oxygen related defect states (i.e oxygen vacancies (Ov) for the 3 wt% doping in WO3. The WO3:Sn (3wt%) sensor demonstrated superior performance, with exceptionally high gas response of 552 and low response/recovery times of 8.1 s/5.4 s to 250 ppm NH3 at room temperature. The study briefly discusses the gas sensing mechanism in n-type WO3 and compares the present results with previously reported WO3-based NH3 sensors for their suitability in the application of commercial gas sensors.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
