NO2 gas sensing properties of chemically grown Al doped ZnO nanorods

V. L. Patil et al.

Summary: This report focuses on the deposition of nanocrystalline aluminium doped ZnO (Al doped ZnO: AZO) samples on seeded glass substrates using a cost-effective reflux method. The doping concentration of 'Al' ions ranged from 1 to 3 vol%. The study found that the deposited AZO samples exhibited a wurtzite hexagonal crystal structure and the formation of nanorods for undoped ZnO, with a reduction in diameter and the formation of fine tips for AZO samples. The photoluminescence study confirmed the presence of oxygen vacancies and defects in the AZO samples. Furthermore, the AZO samples demonstrated excellent gas sensing performance towards NO2 gas at a temperature of 175 degrees C, with a gas sensitivity of 85% for 5 ppm NO2 gas. This work shows promise for practical applications in the gas sensor technology field, particularly for low detection limits at low operating temperatures.

The adsorption of halogen molecules on Ti (110) surface

D. M. Tshwane et al.

Summary: The adsorption of halogen molecules on Ti (110) surface was studied using a first-principle approach, revealing that the adsorption is exothermic and occurs through dissociation bonding. The HF molecule was shown to be more thermodynamically stable than the HI molecule, and halogen ions were found to favorably adsorb on the Ti (110) surface compared to halogen molecules. Adsorption energy strength was found to have a linear relationship with charge transfer, and electronic interaction was investigated through density of states and charge density difference analysis, showing electron depletion on Ti atom and charge accumulation on the halogen region.
